Australia would reverse its decision on Palestinian state recognition if there is a change of government in Australia, the country’s Opposition Leader and Liberal Party head, Sussan Ley, told Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Sa’ar later revealed in a X/Twitter post on Monday. Ley, believing that Australia’s decision rewards Hamas, noted her disappointment at “this break with bipartisanship and reiterated the Coalition’s long-held position that recognition must only come at the end of a genuine two-state process,” she wrote, also in a X/Twitter post. “Now is the wrong time while Hamas holds hostages and while conflict still rages. The Australian...

A North Carolina police officer who declared he was “Antifa” in a post on the social media app BlueSky was fired Monday by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, according to the News & Observer. Brian Edwards, 37, served as a detention officer for the agency while making the posts and had been promoted to corporal in May, the News & Observer reported. Edwards’ posts included calls for subjecting “traitors” to “war crimes trials” and hinted at executing them. “I maintain that the biggest mistake the US government has ever made was letting the traitors from the civil war back into...

Liberal political commentator Keith Olbermann deleted a social media post Monday in which he appeared to threaten conservative CNN analyst Scott Jennings. “You’re next -------–---,” read Olbermann’s deleted X post, according to a screenshot shared by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage “But keep mugging to the camera,” the former MSNBC and ESPN host added, in another deleted tweet, according to the grabs Jennings retweeted from Grage while tagging FBI Director Kash Patel.

My X account has been suspended for breaking X rules supposedly as being a fake account. I have been on X since it was Twitter, since 2012. I have appealed it asking what I was being suspended for (I had not seen their email to me yet telling me they did it because broke their rules by setting up a fake account) but afterwards my husband looked up my name to see if they really did that and he discovered there is someone on X using my username. He reported this person as a fake account but when it asked...

Conservative actor James Woods decided to share his thoughts on Thursday on X. At first, it looked like he would shock everybody with his take on Kimmel’s misfortune. Woods wrote, ” We’ve all made jokes at Jimmy Kimmel’s expense.” But Mr. Kimmel is a fellow artist, and I am heartbroken to see how he has been treated.” “I believe he is, in his heart of hearts, a good and decent fellow, devoid of malice and hate,” he continued. Then, Woods performed a sudden heel turn, revealing how he felt about Kimmel getting sacked. “Just kidding, Jimbo,” he quipped. “Eat sh*t.”

Breaking news out of Virginia, and it’s the kind of news that should make every Republican’s heart race with pride! The numbers are in, and they are stunning: conservative, Republican-leaning counties are shattering expectations in early voting, leaving Democrat strongholds in the dust. In Dinwiddie County, turnout is soaring to a jaw-dropping 82%. Goochland is not far behind at 72%. Hanover—rock solid conservative territory—is holding strong at 62%. These aren’t just numbers on a page. They are proof of a movement, proof of energy, and proof that the Republican grassroots is more alive and determined than ever. Now let’s look...

NEW: The man who shot up the ABC affiliate in Sacramento following the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, has been identified as Anibal Hernandez-Santana. An X account that appears to belong to Hernandez-Santana is full of anti-Trump posts, as reported by Variety. The man, 64, previously worked as a legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers, the outlet reported. “The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete. CBS+ caving, big law firms in DC, the subservients FBI and AG, university presidents stepping down, fan boys SCOTUS, public radio, ICE goons. We are going to have to ‘fight like hell’…” the account that...

(J/k with the title. It's his usual leftist lunacy but... surprisingly judgmental about the followers of Islam. Who is he to judge another culture? Racist, too.) Conversation Collin Rugg @CollinRugg A frantic actor Mark Ruffalo mocks conservatives who were censored and cancelled before saying those same people should rally behind Jimmy Kimmel. “We all have to come together.” “Think of yourselves living under the Taliban because that's where we're headed.” I’m having a really hard time feeling bad for the Hollywood elite right now.

In 2035, when Tesla is making more than 10,000,000 Optimus per year, Tesla will run ads like this on TV. “Four easy payments of $6,942” I (i.e., Chris First, @chrisfirst) created the first ad for the @Tesla_Optimus robot, inspired by classic late-night TV commercials.

(Warning: long rant) My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue. I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues. Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious. And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing. Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship,...

The State Department on Thursday said it was monitoring social media accounts of foreign nationals "praising, rationalizing, or making light" of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting. Kirk, 31, was killed Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University. His killer remains at large. "In light of yesterday's horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said in a post on X. "I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of...

Left-wing social media fanatics have celebrated influencer Charlie Kirk's murder - with some comparing him to Adolf Hitler and even suggesting he 'deserved' his fate. Mr Kirk, the chief executive and co-founder of the conservative youth organisation Turning Point USA, was shot dead at an event at a Utah college yesterday. The killing of Donald Trump's ally is the latest example of political violence in the US spanning a range of political ideologies and affecting both major political parties.

luesky has issued a warning to users after some accounts celebrated the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. "Glorifying violence or harm violates Bluesky's Community Guidelines. We review reports and take action on content that celebrates harm against anyone. Violence has no place in healthy public discourse, and we're committed to fostering healthy, open conversations," the social media platform wrote in a post. Kirk, 31, was the founder of the right-leaning youth organization Turning Point USA and a longtime ally of President Donald Trump. On Wednesday, as Kirk delivered a speech under a tent to a large crowd at Utah...

Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on Wednesday, pioneered a new model for conservative political advocacy, merging multi-platform media commentary with in-person gatherings and get-out-the-vote drives. Kirk, 31, was a hugely successful political field organizer, TikTok influencer, radio host, nonprofit leader and public speaker all rolled up in one telegenic figure. One minute, Kirk would be on Fox News promoting his friend President Trump’s agenda; the next, he would be on X or Instagram, inviting young people to start conservative groups at their high schools and college campuses. With Turning Point USA, the nonprofit he co-founded in 2012 at...

Well, it's been nine months since the last US election. So time to get the next election underway. Here is the latest campaign video by one of three declared GOP candidates for Texas-31: Valentina Gomez, who is running for Congress in Texas, declares war on Islam and Muslims by burning the Quran and says Islam must be stopped "once and for all." pic.twitter.com/wqI65qriD3— Shadow of Ezra (@ShadowofEzra) August 25, 2025Miss Gomez's last big viral video showed her shooting a hooded man strapped to a chair in the back of the head.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe was able to share information with FBI Director Kash Patel that led to the raid on John Bolton's home. Bolton is a former national security advisor to President Donald Trump in his first term. Human Events Daily Host Jack Posobiec revealed on X in an exclusive report, "CIA Director John Ratcliffe provided Kash Patel access to US intelligence that served as the basis for the warrant to raid Bolton."

Kid Rock is here to troll Gavin Newsom 'All Summer Long' -- and that's exactly what he's doing in a clapback to the California governor. Check out his hilarious post on X -- the singer ain't laughing at Newsom's image posted Sunday depicting KR dressed as Uncle Sam, encouraging Americans to support Newsom Instead of simply ignoring it, he had posted a rebuttal Monday night that could have come out of any middle schooler's mouth -- "The only support Gavin Newscum will ever get out of me is from DEEZ NUTZ" And if you're not cracking up at the shade,...

Over the weekend, the US Department of Homeland Security’s X account appeared to reference an antisemitic dog whistle. And it wasn’t the first time that happened this summer. “Which way, American man?” the department’s official page posted Sunday, over a political cartoon from 1936 called “Uncle Sam at the Crossroads.” The post, a recruitment ad for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, alluded to the phrase “Which way, Western man?” — the title of a 1978 book steeped in antisemitic conspiracy theories and explicit threats against Jews. As a social media meme, the phrase has been used to ridicule the “woke,” feminism...
