Saudi Arabia has executed a prominent Saudi journalist who was arrested seven years ago and convicted on terrorism and treason chargesA prominent Saudi journalist who was arrested in 2018 and convicted on terrorism and treason charges has been executed, the kingdom said. Activist groups maintain that the charges against him were trumped up.

Authorities had raided Al-Jasser's home in 2018, arresting him and seizing his computer and...

Former ABC News veteran correspondent Terry Moran has launched his independent journalism career. The 65-year-old journalist resurfaced his Substack account and vowed he would get back to the “important work,” he said Wednesday, a day after he was booted from the Disney-owned network. Moran was dismissed Tuesday for violating the company’s policies with a viral social media attack against top White House official Stephen Miller. “For almost 28 years, I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News, as you may have heard, I am not there anymore. I’m here with you, on Substack,” Moran said in a video posted...

Simone Biles apologized to Riley Gaines on Tuesday for their online spat over trans-identifying males in women’s sports, the Olympic gymnast adding that she believes the current women’s sports system is “flawed.” The two athletes clashed on Friday when Biles attacked Gaines seemingly out of the blue, calling the former University of Kentucky swimmer a “sore loser” and telling her to “bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.” “I wanted to follow up from my last tweets,” Biles posted Tuesday on X. “I’ve always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport. The current...

Robert Salas was one of the men on duty in 1967 that experienced a nuclear silo being shutdown. He was name dropped in the article so he's taken the time to author a rebuttal.

2:41 California Sen. Adam Schiff (D), who served on the January 6 Committee accusing others of insurrection, backed an insurrection Saturday against federal law enforcement arresting illegal aliens in Los Angeles. Riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers took place Friday and Saturday in Los Angeles, with masked rioters using violence against federal officials and vandalism against federal buildings. President Trump decided to federalize 2,000 California National Guard soldiers, over the objections of Governor Gavin Newsom (D), who refused to do much to stop the violence and defended the “immigrants.” Schiff weighed in on X, denouncing the Trump administration...

This is total and complete nonsense.

UNHINGED: @SenSchumer says "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE" if we pass the largest tax cut in history, block illegals from taxpayer-funded health care, and cut the deficit. These are NOT serious people.

"OMG even California Democrats are GHOSTING their representatives. This guy is preaching about going after Trump to a dozen people. NOBODY likes the Democrats anymore." GuntherEagleman X (Video)

Zuckerberg, Musk, Trump… Truss? Cockburn was surprised to hear from across the Pond that Liz Truss – who served as prime minister of the United Kingdom for just 49 days – had plans to set up a social media site. “What I am doing is establishing a new free speech network, which will be uncensored and uncancellable, to actually talk about the issues people don’t want to talk about,” the former PM said at a conference in England last month.The move would see Truss compete with X, Parler, Gettr, Gab and, yes, Truth Social, Trump’s social media app. How will...

TWITTER JAIL—Writers for The Babylon Bee, currently inmates in Twitter Jail, are attempting to slowly tunnel their way out of their cells, according to an exposé by Dateline NBC. The dangerous inmates have allegedly concealed their escape tunnel behind a poster of their longtime crush Gina Carano. "Some of the most ruthless and dangerous people on the planet are residents here in Twitter Jail," said Warden Parag Agrawal. "We have Trump and O'Keefe in isolation. Alex Jones is in and out of the hole... I would be very surprised if these Babylon Bee pests escaped." "But sir," said Keith Morrison...

The British far-right activist Tommy Robinson—an alias for his real name, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon—thanked Elon Musk as he walked free from prison on parole after a judge granted him early release. Robinson, 42, was partway through an 18-month jail sentence for violating a court order barring him from repeating libelous allegations against a teenage Syrian refugee, whom he had falsely accused of being a violent bully in school. He made a documentary film titled Silenced about the boy and the legal consequences Robinson faced for repeating his claims, which he shared on X, formerly Twitter, owned by the billionaire Musk.

Deranged Liberal boomer threatens Trump White House officials: “Where the hell does Stephen Miller live? Who’s his family?…” “Elon Musk, I don’t give a sh*t about his security detail. Where’s his family? Where do they live… you get tens of thousands of civilians going into an area, you think you’re going to shut us down? No!”
