The graphic, which has been widely circulated across regional state networks and paramilitary channels, names nineteen specific high ranking officials from the United States and Israel, labeling them as defendants in the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah...

Can the Morning Joe crew possibly be this oblivious to its hypocrisy? The panel spent Tuesday morning blasting Republicans for raising questions about suspicious vote counting in the Los Angeles mayoral primary — then immediately launched its own sweeping conspiracy theory about how Republicans plan to steal the 2026 midterms. Mika began spinning the anti-GOP conspiracy theory on the 2026 midterm elections: "I think the bigger picture is, there seems to be some sort of preparation going on here. That's just my analysis. But it doesn't feel good looking ahead to the midterms, the way these Republicans are behaving." Get...

While spending money on video games is not uncommon, EVE Online stands out because players' assets can be permanently destroyed; their real-world cash outlay gone in seconds. The game's financial system is so complex that in 2025, a former economist from the Central Bank of Iceland was hired to oversee it. Players can amass huge virtual fortunes by mining raw materials or fighting as mercenaries, but they aren't allowed to convert in-game wealth back into real-world cash. Playing EVE Online can take hundreds of hours. Some see it as a second job, dedicating up to 35 hours per week to...

Militaries around the world spend countless hours training, developing policies, and implementing best operational security practices, so imagine the size of the egg on the face of the Dutch navy when journalists managed to track one of its warships for less than the cost of some hagelslag and a coffee. The security snafu was reported by Dutch regional broadcaster Omroep Gelderland. In a Thursday report, Omroep Gelderland journalist Just Vervaart said the broadcaster was able to track HNLMS Evertsen, a Dutch air-defense frigate deployed to help protect France’s aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle against missile threats, by mailing a Bluetooth...

The game kicks off on Sunday, February 8 between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers.

Once again, Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania who suffered a stroke, is coming off as one of the most sensible members of his party. As Zohran Mamdani rises in the polls for the New York City mayoral race, Fetterman called people in his party ‘morons’ for accepting the ideology of socialism. He even talks about meeting a person from a socialist country who warned him about the evils of that economic system. Breitbart News reports:

A shooting game between two friends in Texas has taken a tragic turn, with one dead and the other arrested for his murder. Sean O'Donnell, 37, and Aaron Prout, 34, were taking turns shooting at each other with a rifle while wearing a kevlar helmet inside a Houston home on August 17. The game unfolded at a home on Pennington Hills Drive in the northern outskirts of the city, but it went horribly wrong when O'Donnell allegedly fatally shot Prout, an English military veteran. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said deputies were called to the home and 'found an adult...

There was a kind of hilarious article last week that I had up in our headlines section. I forget what sort of snarky comment I'd added to the headline for it, but what it boiled down to was pissy progressives packing up and moving to the Netherlands because TRUMP.Number Of 'Trumpugees' Leaving America Continues to RiseA week ahead of a crucial Supreme Court decision which delivered yet another blow to the United States' transgender community on Monday, Grover Wehman-Brown was in the midst of packing ahead of their big move to Europe.Since President Donald Trump's first electoral victory in 2016,...

President Donald Trump announced a 35 percent tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1. The president's bold move is aimed at reinforcing the principle of putting America first, ensuring that American businesses can compete on a level playing field, and that workers receive the support they deserve. On Thursday, Trump revealed that the new tariffs would target Canadian goods entering the U.S., framing the move in response to “Canada’s retaliation” and persistent trade obstacles. In an official letter, he explained the reasons behind the sharp increase in tariffs, accusing Canada of not cooperating on critical matters—especially the flow of fentanyl...

As the specter of another World War looms large, people worldwide are pondering potential safe havens should Russia escalate from nuclear warfare threats to actual missile launches. This comes in the wake of Iran and trading missile strikes as the tensions in the Middle East threaten to boil over into all-out war. Russia and China backing Iran diplomatically or militarily—and the U.S. aligning with Israel—raise the specter of a proxy world war. The rapid escalation—from Iran-Israel missile exchanges to U.S. strikes and Iranian counterstrikes—fuels real anxiety about a broader war. Experts warn that any step into nuclear territory or deeper...

The Trump Administration has frozen billions in federal grants to Harvard University, threatened its tax-exempt status, and sought to dictate its curriculum and hiring. Now the government seems bent on destroying the school for the offense of fighting back. And for what purpose? That’s how we read the Department of Homeland Security’s move Thursday to bar foreign students from attending the world-renowned institution. That’s 6,800 students, or a quarter of Harvard’s student body, whose futures are suddenly in disarray. It’s also a short-sighted attack on one of America’s great competitive strengths: Its ability to attract the world’s best and brightest....

Nearly 2,000 residents packed a weekend town hall on Long Island with Dem Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin — a rare in-person political forum in a deep-red county where GOPers have been avoiding such events. The massive turnout was so high that an overflow center was needed for the main site, the Patchogue Theater — and highlighted the growing frustration of Suffolk County residents who say they’ve been left in the dark by their Republican reps. “My friends, we are being governed by morons,” Raskin, a constitutional lawyer, told the crowd. “But the more difficult the struggle, the more glorious the...
