Comedian moved to Ireland after Trump's re-election but continues breaking vows to stay off social mediaRosie O’Donnell is sounding the alarm about her ongoing fixation with President Donald Trump. The 63-year-old, along with some of her friends and family, spoke to The Washington Post about her move to Ireland after Trump's re-election last November, and one thing was made clear from the article. She "can't resist" speaking about Trump. O’Donnell told the outlet she promised her therapist the Wednesday before Thanksgiving she would refrain from posting about Trump for two days. It fell apart within hours. A longtime friend, Jennifer...

FIRST ON FOX: One of the top teachers unions in the country is facing criticism over an upcoming training session that will instruct members on how to go through a gender transition at work, including best practices for using gender pronouns and combating transphobia, while also being provided with literature labeling conservative opposition as "villains." In a document posted on its website, the National Education Association (NEA) announced to its more than 3 million educator members a slate of training programs, including a session named "Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice," scheduled for Dec. 2-4, 2025. The union will also hold an "Advancing...

Residents of a Milwaukee neighborhood are haunted by the death of an elderly woman in her backyard allegedly at the hands of her mentally ill daughter. Carrie Zettel, 64, called police at about 2 p.m. Sunday to report that her daughter was being violent, according to a search warrant. When police arrived, they found Zettel dead. "It happened in the backyard, and she beat her mother to death with a rock," said a family friend named Susan Henderson-Hoffmann. A criminal complaint said that police found a rock weighing about 4 pounds and stained with blood near the body. Her body...

FREMONT, Calif. (WKRC) - A man allegedly used a sex offender registry to find a pedophile, disguised himself as an accountant to kill him, then told police he thought "it should be cool" because "everyone hates pedophiles." The Fremont Police Department announced on September 18, police were called to a residence regarding a "violent altercation" between two people that resulted in one being "gravely injured." Officers discovered an unresponsive 71-year-old man at the scene suffering from "significant stab wounds," per the release. He was soon pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect, 29-year-old Varun Suresh, was found outside of the...

As an over 50 year resident of California and a history buff, I've been intrigued how quickly the new State of California, at the end of a largely unpopulated and unsettled continent, built insane asylums to care for the mentally ill. The scale, breadth and scope of these institutions in California was incredible. Living in Silicon Valley, we are close to the Agnews State Hospital, one of the first mental hospitals in California. I find the history instructive because of the heinous murder of Iryna Zarutska by Decarlos Brown Jr. and President Trump's call for building new insane asylums. Below...

There is no reasoning with these people. 1. John Brennan: “Allow Iranians to have some type of enrichment capability.” He says he’s just trying to think creatively. 2. Texas Democrats took to the Texas House floor to argue for state legislation that says that if you go on vacation and squatters take up residence in your home, they should be allowed to stay. 3. Democrats’ reaction to the Supreme Court’s ruling on transgender kids: Democrats said not allowing them mutilate their sex parts would cause “permanent, irreparable harm” — which, of course, is the opposite of true. John Brennan’s brain...

I’ve done online searches to see if there is any veracity to this seemingly strong tendency in the black population to fail to note, remember, or use names of others who come across their path, at least not people who are celebrities. I call it “name blindness,” after another psychological phenomenon known and “face blindness.” This tendency doesn’t seem to be limited to specific sociological strata in the black population, but seems to be extant throughout. I’ve noticed this in college classes, where professors names are not remembered or used, on online forums and in debates and speeches, where black...

A Trans-identified male, Reya Jasmine, formerly David Mark Jasmine, has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder after allegedly stabbing his wife, Margaret Jasmin, to death earlier this month. The pair’s marriage appears to have been traditional between a man and a woman, and their child, who was at the home when police arrested David Jasmine, was reportedly baptized in a Catholic church. When David started to transition, it appears his wife, Margaret, was not thrilled, and he took to social media like Reddit to express frustrations. In one post, he reportedly said of his wife, “Her husband is dead...

CANCELLED: $600,000 grant to study “menstrual cycles in transgender men”

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump's choice of Matt Gaetz — a Florida congressman who was recently the target of an FBI investigation — to be the next attorney general of the United States sent shockwaves through the Justice Department on Wednesday. "OMG," said one current senior DOJ official. A second department official called the selection “truly stunning” and a third labeled it “insane.” Gaetz, who was the subject of a federal sex trafficking investigation that ended without charges, has been a fierce Trump supporter and has regularly attacked both the Justice Department and the FBI, including calling for the bureau...

A heated election debate has erupted in Kentucky as voters clash over a ballot amendment that bars 'idiots and insane persons' from voting. Despite the recent uproar, the phrase actually already exists in the state's constitution and the rule has been in place for decades. However, its mention in the recent amendment has brought the state's prohibition of 'idiots and insane people' from voting back into the spotlight for everyone who was unaware that the controversial language was already in place. Democratic Sen. Reggie Thomas from Lexington said referring to 'idiots and insane people' as groups of people prohibited to...

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Friday that he will vote for Democrat Kamala Harris over fellow Republican Donald Trump in the November election, warning that the former president “can never be trusted with power again.”

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Thursday on CNN “News Central” that it would be “insane” to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris over the change in her fracking position because there are new technologies. Host John Berman asked, “What’s your position senator, on fracking?” Murphy said, “I think increasingly we can do fracking in a safe way. It depends on site, it depends on the process. But I think anybody who serve his paid attention to the technological developments over the past several years understands that there are places that this can be done safely. I think you have to have...

Powerful tornado forms just west of Westmoreland, Kansas and destroys the north side of town. Powerful roar. #Tornado funnel tied in knots with destructive jet-like winds at grown level. Team Dominator in full intercept mode

CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour said Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that she believed former President Donald Trump’s comments on NATO were “literally insane.” At a rally, Trump said, “One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said you didn’t pay, you’re delinquent? He said yes. Say that happened, no, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You have to pay. You have to pay your bills.” Amanpour said, “People are...

A Kansas blogger who has battled eating disorders claims weightlifting and extreme body modifications have helped them cope with trauma and 'defeat' their eating disorder. Jessy Kirkpatrick, 27, who is nonbinary and uses the pronouns they/them, had a healthy relationship with food as a child. However, in their late teens, they began suffering from anorexia, which they believe stems from severe trauma they experienced as a child. Kirkpatrick turned to modifications to heal their mental health. The extreme body modifications include a stretched septum - the structure separating the right and left nostrils - multiple lip piercings, a stretched tongue,...

Donald Trump once again mixed up candidates he ran against this week, this time conflating Jeb Bush with George W. Bush. But, had Trump actually run against George W. Bush, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” crew is pretty sure Trump would have been “gutted” in no time at all. During a speech in South Carolina on Monday, Trump recounted to his followers that, in 2016, “everyone thought Bush was going to win,” because he “supposedly was a military person,” but then mocked his military leadership. “He got us into the Middle East,” Trump said. “How did that work out, right? But they...

Russian President Vladimir Putin alleged in a television interview on Tuesday, without citing evidence, that Western powers had installed Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, as president of Ukraine to cover up the glorification of Nazism. -snip- Putin told Russian television reporter Pavel Zarubin: “Western curators have put a person at the head of modern Ukraine - an ethnic Jew, with Jewish roots, with Jewish origins. And thus, in my opinion, they seem to be covering up an anti-human essence that is the foundation ... of the modern Ukrainian state,” Putin said. “And this makes the whole situation extremely disgusting, in...

...."I think Ramaswamy reminds me an awful lot of Donald Trump," Bolton said in response to Ramaswamy expressing a need for facts in order to call Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal. "He has very firm opinions on subjects he knows absolutely nothing about and this was an example of it." "The main point is that Ramaswamy has made other points about this war and about what he's going to do to try and solve it," Bolton said. "Like Trump said, he would put Zelenskyy and Putin in a room and have it solved in 24 hours. Ramaswamy is...

Tech news magazine Wired published a story, and made it an editor's pick, on Thursday that claimed it was "immoral" to want children who share one's genetic makeup and claimed that reducing biologism could be a way to "push back against the biological essentialism built into white supremacy." In the intro, the author rejects the notion that having a biological child creates a hardwired relationship and bond between the parent and child, and that "this prioritization of biological inheritance ('biologism,' as some call it) has recently become unsettled." Writer Leo Kim said that due to the advancement in modern practices...
