Except for his early SNL career and the first Vacation movie, I've always considered Chevy Chase to be a poor actor and not particularly funny. And he has a reputation as a jerk. They didn't let him do a skit or appear on stage at the SNL 50 year anniversary show. Apparently a lot of people don't like Chevy Chase and he's difficult to work with. A clip from the CNN "I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not" special made him look like he was nasty to the female interviewer, telling her she's not intelligent enough to understand him. Having watched...

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that Venezuelans in the U.S. who were previously under temporary protective status (TPS) can apply for asylum. “Every individual that was under TPS has the opportunity to apply for refugee status and that evaluation will go forward,” Noem told host Gillian Turner on “Fox News Sunday.” Noem ended TPS earlier this year for roughly 600,000 Venezuelan migrants who received protected status from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the Biden administration. After the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, early Saturday morning, Venezuelan migrants in South Florida...

Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Saturday called for the release of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife from U.S. custody after President Donald Trump announced that they were captured during military strikes on the capital city of Caracas. “We firmly call on the U.S. leadership to reconsider this position and release the lawfully elected president of a sovereign country and his wife,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement, stressing the need to resolve the dramatic confrontation through diplomacy. In a separate message, the ministry said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke by phone to Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez...

Archaeologists might have discovered a major milestone in the quest to prove Noah’s Ark’s existence — pottery fragments near the supposed site of the Biblical boat. Prof. Dr Faruk Kaya of Agri Ibrahim Cecen University said the pieces were found close to the alleged Ark outline at the Dogubayazit site on Turkey’s Mount Ararat, according to Turkish media, the Daily Mail reported. The 538-foot-long boat-shaped geological structure has been the focal point of the Noah’s Ark debate for decades, having been described in the Bible as the legendary life raft’s final resting place.

President Trump and senior US officials said Monday they’re closing in on a sweeping peace framework to end the war in Ukraine — featuring “Article Five-like” security guarantees, a multibillion-dollar rebuilding plan, progress on tough territorial disputes, and a possible 50/50 split of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant — but Kyiv has added that many key details remain unknown. The goal, officials said, is to create a package that stops Russia from pushing further into Ukraine and gives Kyiv the strongest-ever shield against future aggression — with Trump touting the negotiations as being “closer now than ever.” The proposed NATO-style guarantees...

My guest today is Andrew Kolvet, who was Kirk’s close confidant. Since the assassination, he’s taken on many of Kirk’s responsibilities, including hosting “The Charlie Kirk Show.” Andrew Kolvet: …“Now, Charlie’s mission was to say: Hey, before us are two roads. You can either go grievance politics, socialism, free stuff populism, Mangione-ism, Mamdani-ism, or you can go MAGA.“ …“I think this is the through line for Israel — is you do not have to support Israel to belong to the team, at least in a traditional historical sense…I’m an American. I’m born in this country. My kids are going to...

Several prominent Republicans in the MAGA world have claimed that as many as 20 million people entered the United States illegally during the Biden administration. President Donald Trump and White House officials have said the administration is now planning to review all of these cases of migrants who entered the country under the previous administration. Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, said on Fox News Wednesday after two members of the National Guard were shot dead in Washington, D.C, “The breaking news tonight is saying that his government is going to accelerate efforts to review every single person...

Is Mary Co-Redemptrix? The Whole Doctrine Explained On November 4, 2025, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith published a doctrinal Note in which it stated that the use of the traditional Marian title of Co-Redemptrix would be not only unnecessary, but even harmful. In the same document, however, the doctrine contained in that title is at the same time reaffirmed—though not always with precision. This article seeks to clarify the traditional meaning of this truth of faith, which for centuries has accompanied the Christian people in their sensus fidei.The Marian dogmasTo understand who the Most Holy Mary is,...

Comedian Jay Leno is taking his wedding vows seriously. Leno candidly opened up about honoring the promises he made more than 40 years ago as his wife, Mavis, battles advanced dementia. "The idea that you get married and take these vows — nobody ever thinks they’ll be called on to act on them, you know?" Leno said on the "Today" show.

QAnon is the online movement spawned by Q, a poster on the anonymous message board 4chan. In October 2017, they began leaving a series of gnomic posts riven with strange imagery – “drops.” Claiming to be a US official with a high-level security clearance, Q informed fellow users that the United States was secretly controlled by a clique of pedophiles and traitors encompassing much of the Democratic party and the intelligence services. But Donald Trump, who had recently been elected president, was alive to the danger. With the aid of friendly “deep state” elements, Trump was working behind the scenes...

Donald Trump’s new stock-buying strategy isn’t socialism, but it is a step toward a government-controlled economy. Recently, a handful of people—none of whom have ever invited me to their birthday party—accused President Donald Trump of being a socialist. Gavin Newsom, who many pundits credibly believe is the governor of California, said Trump is committing socialism by having the federal government buy stock in private companies. At the time of writing, the government has taken shares in Intel, MP Materials, Lithium Americas, U.S. Steel, and even a Canadian mining company that mines cobalt or some other stupid mineral I hate. This...

President Trump is rejecting visas for fat people. The Trump administration has ordered visa officers to deny immigrants who are obese or have certain health issues, in yet another instance of the president’s strange obsession with fat people. A Thursday directive from the State Department, sent to embassies and consulates around the world, indicates that people applying for visas to the United States may be rejected if they have certain medical conditions, on the grounds that they could take up domestic health care resources. “You must consider an applicant’s health,” the cable read. “Certain medical conditions—including, but not limited to,...

Can a Christian be a communist? I answer that question with an emphatic “no.” In the first place, it leaves out God and Jesus Christ. It regards religion intellectually as the product of fear and ignorance. And it regards religion historically as an instrument serving the ends of exploiters. A second reason that we can’t accept communism is that its methods are opposed to Christianity. Since for the communist there is no divine or absolute moral order…force, violence, murder, and lying are all justifiable means to bring about the millennial end… In the third place, we have to disagree with...

Moscow has proposed a 70-mile Elon Musk-built 'Putin-Trump' rail tunnel which would link Russia and America. The tunnel, which would go under the Bering strait, would unlock joint exploration of natural resources and 'symbolise unity', a Kremlin envoy said. The proposal has suggested using The Boring Company, a US tunnel construction company owned by Elon Musk, to construct the $8billion bridge. It comes as the Kremlin desperately tries to stop Donald Trump from providing crucial Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. Kirill Dmitriev, President's Vladimir Putin's investment envoy and head of Russia's RDIF sovereign wealth fund, said Moscow and 'international partners', including...
