VIDEOKarens know no boundaries. They can be found all over the world. In this case compare the British Karen vs the American Karen of the parking lot variety. Which one is more unhinged? The British Karen obviously has the edge in the utter stupidity department but the American Karen has more physical energy getting riled up apparently over ...absolutely nothing. In any case, stay on the alert for parking lot Karens. No matter which side of the pond they are on, they are all seriously deranged.

The longtime upstate New York high school girls’ basketball coach, Jim Zullo, has spoken out following his firing for yanking his player’s hair. Zullo’s son, Sam, shared his father’s statement to news outlets, including WNYT. “I deeply regret my behavior following the loss to La Fargeville Friday night in the Class D state championship game,” Zullo said. “I want to offer my sincerest apologies to Hailey and her family, our team, the good folks at Northville Central Schools and our community. As a coach, under no circumstance is it acceptable to put my hands on a player, and I am...

The election may be over, but that hasn’t stopped Kamala Harris from continuing to spin tales about her background. In a post on X, Harris claimed, “When I was growing up, Kwanzaa was a special time of reflection with family and friends. Let us carry the wisdom of the seven principles with us as we work to build a brighter future. Happy Kwanzaa.”

Bluesky is drowning under the weight of the leftists reporting everything. 3000 reports per hour! 😂 Bluesky Safety In the past 24 hours, we have received more than 42,000 reports (an all-time high for one day).

P’nut the squirrel was ratted out by someone — and his upstate owners think it was over jealousy. Mark and Daniela Longo told The Post on Sunday that they had been cashing in on their furry Internet sensation — who helped steer followers to their raunchy OnlyFans page — before he was seized from their animal sanctuary and euthanized by state environmental officials over rabies fears last week. The couple’s financial success, fueled at least partly by P’nut, may have been enough to drive someone to drop the dime on them — and their fluffy-tailed cash cow, they said. “Maybe...

New polling shows Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump with women over the age of 50 by more than any presidential candidate since 2016. The survey shows that 54% of women in that demographic plan to vote for the vice president, over just 42% for Trump. It's a huge improvement from Joe Biden, who only led Trump by three points with women over 50 in January. The numbers are also better than Hillary Clinton's numbers in 2016, who polled 48%-40% over Trump. AARP, who conducted the survey, believes that women over 50 can potentially sway the election. 'Our polling over the...

It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis.

"Karens for Kamala?" actress Connie Britton joked. Britton was one of two celebrities, several politicians, and, reportedly, more than 100,000 others on a Zoom call advertised as a way for white women to "show up for Kamala Harris." What transpired echoed advocacy around Hillary Clinton eight years ago. It was also oddly reminiscent in tone, if not substance, of missteps we've seen from conservatives like Sen. J.D. Vance (R–Ohio), in which those who aren't on board with your side are assumed to simply be deficient human beings. *** The virtual gathering was organized by gun control activist and Moms Demand...

You may have been singing along to them for years, but have you ever really thought about their lyrics? If not, it's definitely time. “Brown Sugar” by The Rolling Stones Some things don’t deserve to be sung about, like slavery—especially when the song uses whipping imagery as it attempts to demonstrate the sexual prowess of Black women. But yet that’s precisely what Mick Jagger did in The Rolling Stones’ 1971 smash “Brown Sugar.” The title was offensive enough, but in the first verse, Jagger travels back to the plantation to peek in on the slave owners who used to make...

A new study outlines how white people’s migration during and after the Civil War, from the Confederate South to the West, bolstered white supremacy and institutional racism in non-slave states, helping create the vast racial disparities that exist today nationwide. Five researchers from separate colleges collaborated on the study, called “Confederate Diaspora,” to compile and study census data that tracked the migration to the West of white Americans, including 60,000 former plantation owners. The former Southerners took on local positions of authority, like police officers, clergy and politicians, giving them influence to create a post-Civil War culture that continued to...

This afternoon mainstream media reporting a 'storming' of Brazil's Congress and Presidential Palace by supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The same grounds where today's event occurred were heavily guarded last Sunday for President Lula's inauguration. His supporters found themselves frustrated by the tight security. Today a thin line of police quickly gave way to a group of protesters many of whom were adorned with Brazil's flag. There was some pepper spray and tear gas used half-heartedly by the small groups of police present. A crowd in the thousands quickly moved towards government buildings in the capital city of Brasilia....

…. According to a BBC analysis of 10 years of data from the Gallup World Poll, women are getting angrier. Every year the poll surveys more than 120,000 people in more than 150 countries asking, among other things, what emotions they felt for a lot of the previous day. When it comes to negative feelings in particular - anger, sadness, stress and worry - women consistently report feeling these more frequently than men. The BBC's analysis has found that since 2012 more women than men report feeling sadness and worry, though both genders have been steadily trending upwards. When it...

A group of Apple employees have accused the big-tech giant of racism over its push for corporate workers to return to the office, saying that the shift back to an in-person model will make the company 'younger, whiter, [and] more male-dominated.' The employees, organized under the newly-formed group Apple Together, petitioned the company on Friday in an open letter after CEO Tim Cook told staffers that they would need to work from the office one day a week starting on April 11, two days per week after three weeks, and three days per week after May 23. They wrote that...

The Conservative MP accused of watching pornography in the House of Commons has been named as Neil Parish. He has been suspended from the parliamentary party and is under investigation by the Parliament standards commissioner. Two female colleagues complained earlier this week after allegedly seeing him looking at adult content on his phone while sitting near them. Mr. Parish referred himself for investigation, the party said. If the standards commissioner, Kathryn Stone, finds that he has violated the code of conduct for MP's, possible sanctions range from having to make an apology to the Commons to suspension or expulsion...

Moderna on Thursday asked U.S. regulators to authorize low doses of its COVID-19 vaccine for children younger than 6, a long-awaited move toward potentially opening shots for millions of tots by summer. Frustrated families are waiting impatiently for a chance to protect the nation’s littlest kids as all around them people shed masks and other public health precautions -- even though highly contagious coronavirus mutants continue to spread. Moderna submitted data to the Food and Drug Administration that it hopes will prove two low-dose shots can protect babies, toddlers and preschoolers -- albeit not as effectively during the omicron surge...
