    SNIPIn December 2017, "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough said a close associate of Trump on the campaign trail told him the then-presidential candidate had "pre-dementia."Media personalities across networks called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked against Donald Trump more than 600 times between 2016 and 2021. (Raymond Boyd/Michael Ochs Archives/Jaap Arriens/NurPhoto/MANDEL NGAN /AFP via Getty)Scarborough also suggested that "everybody" who’s known Trump for years has said he has "mentally devolved." The MSNBC co-host then said he wanted to know "when it’s safe" to start talking about whether Trump should be taken off his presidential duties.Scarborough’s comments came a month...

    For weeks, House Republicans have been turning up the heat on the Biden administration—and now, one of the First Lady’s closest aides is officially on the hot seat. Anthony Bernal, a longtime senior advisor to former First Lady Jill Biden and often referred to as her “work husband,” has been subpoenaed to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on July 16 at 10:00 a.m., according to an official subpoena obtained Thursday. The hearing will take place at 2247 Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. Bernal had previously agreed to voluntarily testify behind closed doors today,...

    A 51-year-old Dallas letter carrier, Jacob Taylor, died over the weekend after collapsing on his route. Taylor's cause of death is still unknown pending the results of an autopsy. The National Association of Letter Carriers fears his death could have been related because of how similar it was to the death of Eugene Gates, who died of heat exhaustion two years ago.

    Ignore the link but it gets to my point. First let me say, I voted for Trump 3 times, had a Trump flag hanging out front and support 99% of what he does. My concern are the uncertainty with tariffs. I have asked customers on a daily basis for the past 2 months how business is and across SS the board the uncertainty of the tariffs is KILLING business. We sell to these companies and we are dead. Most manufacturers are dead and businesses overall are dead. I can’t believe this has gone on for so long. I think if...

    A close friendship developed between my grandfather and Fred Trump, so much so, that Mr. Trump allocated land for my grandfather’s synagogue. They maintained their bond for nearly half a century, having been a supporter of the synagogue throughout the years of their friendship. Mr. Trump’s children were well acquainted with their father’s “Rabbi,” as he would call my grandfather...

    Stevie Brocksom is still floored after actor David Tennant, best known for his work in the Doctor Who series, wore one of the trans-positive T-shirts they sent him on a whim. The photo has led to a massive spike in sales of the London, Ont., designer's activist T-shirts which help fund a scholarship for transgender students in Ontario. Brocksom and their graphic designer sell a series of T-shirts with trans-positive messaging on their website, "Stevie Safe Spaces." The T-shirts, which are available in sizes S up to 6XL, have slogans on them like “you can’t erase us,” "protect trans kids"...

    A Russian warship disguised itself using a fake ID signal while travelling through the English Channel with two sanctioned oil tankers, a BBC Verify investigation has found. The Boikiy - a corvette armed with guided missiles - broadcast the fake ID code as it passed through the Channel on Saturday. On tracking sites it wrongly appeared as ships which have previously used that ID. BBC Verify matched the ID to the Boikiy by using satellite imagery, tracking data and a video of it passing under a bridge in Denmark. It travelled alongside two vessels known to be part of Russia's...

    President Trump on Tuesday emphatically dropped an f-bomb, on camera, expressing frustration that Israel and Iran appeared to be violating the ceasefire that he just celebrated going into effect. "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing," Trump said to reporters as he left the White House.
  • ‘Cannot do business in the state of California’: Gas prices could hit $8/gallon as two refineries shut down

    Two large California oil refineries are shutting down, triggering mounting concerns from state legislators, industry groups and many others. **snip** The Phillips 66 and Valero’s Benicia sites are set to close in 2026. Together, the shutdowns will eliminate nearly 300,000 barrels-per‑day of refining capacity — roughly 20% of the total used in the state. Valero attributed its decision to “years of regulatory pressure (and) significant fines for air quality violations,” including an $82 million penalty levied in 2024. Phillips 66 similarly cited business challenges stemming from California’s strict environmental regulations. "They have said that they cannot do business in the...

    Hello everyone! I recently released my very first science-fiction, political-thriller novel on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. I've been told that the work seems to embody the writing style of a Tom Clancy or a Michael Crichton, blended with an Isaac Asimov. While this is high praise, indeed, I want to go to the next level. Enter an analysis of a very quiet, very low-action scene in the first season of Game of Thrones. That analysis is here.The analysis is stellar. The writing is stellar. The analysis talks about how: Robert Baratheon was not a lecherous drunkard, but actually a very...

    I feel like people on the right have been hesitant to push their views, we’re all considerate and stuff. The gloves have to come off if we’re going to save our country. We’ve got to get mean and fight them like for like. I’m not saying, get out in the streets and block traffic, but we’ve all got to get more aggressive when we see radical left showing who they are and not a damn person standing up for what’s right. We just sit back and say well that’s not right, or there should be a law, while we watch...

    Windows are a major source of energy loss in buildings, a sector that accounts for nearly 40 percent of global energy use, as heat entering through glass surfaces significantly reduces heating and cooling efficiency. A research team at KAIST has developed a pedestrian-friendly smart window technology. The smart window not only significantly reduces heating and cooling energy consumption in urban buildings, but also addresses the long-standing problem of light pollution in densely populated areas.

    We have moved into an era where many men no longer seek women to impress other men or to connect across difference. They perform elsewhere. Alone. They’ve filtered us out. I recently experienced a flicker of possibility. With James. We met on Raya, the dating app. There was something mutual from the start — wordplay, emotional precision, a tone that felt attuned. It was brief, but it caught light. I remember saying to him, “Even fleeting connections matter, when they’re mutual and lit from the inside.” I meant it. There was just enough spark to wonder what might unfold. Enough...
