This was not a paint job. This was highly sophisticated material, industrial strength, that could last...

The horrific death of high school athlete Austin Metcalf on April 2, 2025, sent shockwaves through the Frisco, Texas, community when it happened. So it should come as little surprise that the ongoing trial has been emotionally charged. It's been so charged that even the alleged murderer, Karmelo Anthony, appears to have had a visible response to footage of that tragic night. According to the New York Post, Anthony "squirmed" and was "fidgeting" while some of the more disturbing footage from the incident was being shown. At other points of the trial, Anthony rubbed his eyes and "quivered." Things even...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has already been projected to advance to the November runoff. The top two candidates will advance if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, First Assistant US Attorney for the Central...

Fox News is taking heat after a new survey showed former Sen. Sherrod Brown holding a surprisingly large lead over Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio, a state President Donald Trump carried comfortably in each of his three White House runs. Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Ohio by more than eight points in 2016, defeated Joe Biden in the state by a similar margin in 2020 despite losing nationally, and expanded his advantage to more than 11 points over Kamala Harris in 2024. Husted, who was appointed to the Senate in 2025 after Vice President JD Vance vacated the seat, is...

America Spent $12.5 Billion Fighting the Emerald Ash Borer. The Woodpeckers Did It For Free In 2002, a beetle from eastern China arrived in a Detroit shipping crate and went on to kill more than 100 million American ash trees. The federal response cost $12.5 billion. It did not stop the beetle. What did stop it was already in the woods. Four native bird species — and one parasitic wasp the size of a sewing needle — quietly built a predation pyramid that no quarantine, no insecticide injection, and no government program had ever designed. This documentary follows the decade...

Two attempts...

It took only a half an hour for the mother of a suspected shooter in Florida to track down her 16-year-old son and force him to surrender after a violent 'teen takeover' left another teen with three gunshot wounds. After hundreds of teenagers flooded Clearwater Beach on Sunday evening for a 'linkup,' Noel Marsh III, 16, was taken into custody in Haines City on Monday evening. 'We found his mother, and his mother did what was right,' Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. 'She said, "he'll turn himself in as soon as I find him." About 30 minutes later, his...
