No Kings Day has come around once again, and it is just as cringe as last year. Of course, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone younger than the age of 60 wasting their time away at these things, and they really haven’t done much updating to their schticks as we’re still looking at the Handmaid’s Tale garbage in 2026. Anyway, here is some of the best (or worst) of what we have seen from No Kings 2026.

The Oscars 2026 might be over, but fans’ fury over “dirty” celebrities is just getting started. A picture showing trash, including discarded water bottles and snack packets, strewn across Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre has gone viral on social media — sparking backlash over the hypocrisy of the elite, who grandstand about the environment. “Aren’t some of them environmentalists?” one critic pointed out. “Where’s all that ‘protect the planet’ energy now?” “Save the mountains, keep them clean, blah blah blah … but look at the mess they leave,” another chimed in of the hypocrisy. “Nobody’s buying it anymore. As the saying goes:...

[Catholic Caucus] DC bishop equates God with DEI in blasphemous comments at Black History Month MassWashington Auxiliary Bishop Roy E. Campbell blasphemously claimed “God is DEI” (diversity, equity, and inclusion) during a homily for the archdiocese’s annual Black History Month Mass at St. Joseph Church last weekend. During his homily for the February 21 Mass, Campbell reflected briefly about how the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) is sung shortly before the distribution of the Holy Eucharist and reflected on the word “Dei” (Meaning God), then falsely compared the term to DEI, saying “God is DEI,” per the Catholic Standard, the...

According to online court records, Chaz Royal Beck, born in 2007, of Branson, and Dylan Eric Julian, born in 2003, are each charged with first-degree harassment, a Class E felony.

Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Gabby Barrett and Lee Brice have been announced as performers for the event, which is being billed on the TPUSA website as celebrating “faith, family & freedom.” The musical performances will air or stream live on conservative news platforms including Daily Wire+, Real America’s Voice, Trinity Broadcasting Network, TDN (a sister network to The Epoch Times),...

First a foot of snow, then the plowed-in cars, and now frustrated New Yorkers are furious over mountains of trash piling up on city streets, as collection has been reduced by January’s massive winter storm. A reporter from the New York Post took in the “unsavory sights” of the aftermath and documented heaps of garbage bags and cardboard boxes littering the sidewalks as the Department of Sanitation was still playing catch-up in several neighborhoods since the winter onslaught. Garbage is not the only problem, as snowplows have tended to deposit high banks of the white stuff against cars parked along...

So it's not just raw, untreated, Tijuana sewage that's flowing into the U.S., creating the nation's filthiest beaches, it's also raw, untreated trash. The recent rains in the area have drawn attention to what else is coming in -- and it's not pretty. According to Border Report:Landfills in San Diego County have begun receiving some 40 tons of trash and debris from Mexico that a trash boom stopped last month near the border. Alter Terra, a binational environmental group, set up the boom in the Tijuana River channel, and it only took one hour to collect all that trash. Initial...

An old report has brought back a question Donald Trump’s team hoped would disappear: did the FBI work through the night to remove his name from the Jeffrey Epstein files before saying there was nothing left to release? The timing is important as Trump has suddenly reversed his stance on making the documents public. Sources familiar with the process told Bloomberg, “We know from news reports that Trump’s name was in the Epstein files. But what hasn’t been reported is that an FBI FOIA team redacted Trump’s name and the names of other prominent public figures from the documents.” The...

Nicki Minaj has praised President Donald Trump for speaking out about extremism against Christians in Nigeria. “No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion,” the rapper, 42, wrote in a post on X. “We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.” Nigeria has said it is committed to tackling violent extremism but has rejected any suggestion that a genocide against Christians is taking place in the West African nation. Why It Matters Nigeria is a major power in Africa, representing the most populated nation and fourth-highest Gross Domestic Products (GDP)...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trumpeted on social media how she successfully pushed to have dozens of new trash cans placed on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens. Problem is, she ignored the real trash. She was immediately mocked for ignoring the parade of johns, pimps and prostitutes flooding the avenue’s infamous “Market of Sweethearts.” “Celebrating garbage cans is like putting sprinkles on s--- and calling it a birthday cake,” lambasted Elmhurst’s Ramses Frias, who’s running as a Republican candidate for City Council in Queens’ 25th District. “It’s all for show.” “Of course, AOC won’t speak about what’s really happening here so she can...

SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. — Starting December 8th, 2025, Shasta County residents could face fines for improperly sorting their trash, as part of a new waste management initiative. This change is driven by Senate Bill 1383, which mandates California residents to separate food scraps, food-soiled recyclables and yard waste from regular trash and recycling to reduce landfill contributions.. .

Did you know ancient Rome was "sustainable"? Romans probably didn't use that exact buzzword, but apparently, they were recycling pioneers. When they weren't creating a mountain made out of garbage, that is. As someone who's been to Italy recently, I can tell you that that legacy of recycling lives on. Frankly, it's a mixed bag. If fact, the convoluted waste disposal system in that beautiful Mediterranean peninsula is the perfect embodiment of the current state of Europe. Garbage in, garbage out In America, you take your trash, and you throw it in the can underneath the kitchen sink. Then, when...

A growing culture of Third Worldism—the belief that you’re entitled to use public spaces without any responsibility to care for them—is corroding civic life in cities. Immigrants from poor countries like my own, Venezuela, often joke that Americans complain too much about “First World problems.” Back home, we don’t worry about microaggressions; we’re too busy figuring out how to put food on the table or stay safe from crime and government censorship. But here’s the irony: increasingly, Americans aren’t complaining enough about Third World problems. Trash-strewn streets, loud music in public, brazen shoplifting, rising disorder, and a general decline in...

"When will my trash get picked up?" was surely the top question on many Philadelphians' minds after hearing the DC 33 strike, including sanitation workers, was over on Wednesday morning.

Here's more about what to know about trash disposal in the city now that the strike is over. Where do I drop off my trash in Philadelphia? Remember those 63 temporary drop-off sites? Williams says those...

Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre on Monday rolled out his “Canada First” response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs, borrowing Trump’s branding strategy while insisting his tariffs on Canadian goods are “unjustified.” Part of Poilievre’s strategy includes faulting the Liberal Party of outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for doing “nothing” to make Canada less dependent upon the U.S. economy, even though the threat of Trump’s tariffs was painfully clear. “They’ve left us helpless,” Poilievre complained before debuting his own strategy, blasting the Liberals for weakening the Canadian economy with high taxes and heavy regulations that pushed Canadian businesses across the border...

An Ohio judge has blocked a common sense law that stopped Planned Parenthood from dumping the bodies of aborted babies in landfills. The Unborn Child Dignity Act was first introduced in 2016, following an investigation by then Attorney General Mike DeWine into Planned Parenthood’s surgical abortion facility practices in Ohio. The investigation found that Planned Parenthood’s Ohio locations had been dumping the bodies of aborted babies in landfill Because the Ohio Revised Code did not define “humane” disposal, the state of Ohio was unable to take legal action. In 2020, DeWine, as Ohio’s governor, signed into law a new pro-life...
