“Newly released unsealed photos that the Biden administration kept in the dark above”

For years, the Biden Department of Justice kept the full story of what happened to Ryan Samsel buried. Sealed. Classified under layers of institutional protection while a compliant media constructed a narrative that served one purpose — to destroy a man who refused to lie for them. But Ryan Samsel and his legal team never stopped fighting.

They documented everything. They preserved every medical record, every nursing report, every USMS log, every court filing that captured what was truly done to this man. And on June 9, 2026, that fight produced something the Biden DOJ never wanted the American people to see.

A federal civil complaint — Samsel v. United States, Case No. 3:26-cv-00530-DJN, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia — is now public record. The truth is no longer sealed. And it is devastating.

While the city of Baltimore grappled with a series of deadly weekend incidents that occurred within hours of each other, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott turned his attention to the performing arts.

Video circulating on social media showed Scott taking the microphone at The Douglass Lounge, where he rapped to the crowd on Sunday.

The Democrat mayor’s musical performance occurred as Baltimore Police investigated several deaths across the city, including two vehicle-related killings and two fatal stabbings.

A three-year-old girl died in a hit-and-run after being struck by a vehicle allegedly driven by a 14-year-old who authorities said stole the car from a family member.

In a separate incident, a 56-year-old woman was stabbed to death. Police said a 50-year-old suspect was taken into custody.

Elsewhere, a 19-year-old man died after being hit by a vehicle while riding a scooter, while a 24-year-old man was fatally shot inside a local business.

Baltimore experienced a steep surge in some types of crime in 2026, reversing the decline seen in the years before, according to figures analyzed by the Baltimore Sun.

This included an 11.3 percent rise in aggravated assaults up to June 8, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025, and a 4.7 percent rise in nonfatal shootings.

SALISBURY, MD – Wicomico County is pleased to announce that the Maryland Board of Public Works has approved a $3,353,000 grant through the County Library Capital Project Grant Program to support the renovation of the former Ward Museum building and transform it into the future home of the Paul S. Sarbanes Library at Schumaker Pond.

The funding was approved during the Board of Public Works meeting on June 18, 2026, as part of a statewide investment in public library infrastructure. The grant represents a significant step forward in Wicomico County’s efforts to modernize library services and provide residents with enhanced educational, technological, and community resources.

“This investment is a tremendous win for Wicomico County and for the thousands of residents who rely on our public library system every year,” said County Executive Julie Giordano. “The future Paul S. Sarbanes Branch will provide expanded opportunities for learning, workforce development, technology access and community engagement while preserving and repurposing an important community asset.”

The project will renovate the former Ward Museum facility to create a modern library space capable of meeting the evolving needs of county residents. The upgraded branch will offer improved accessibility, expanded programming space, enhanced technology infrastructure and additional resources for children, families, students and lifelong learners.

The County Executive expressed appreciation to the Maryland Board of Public Works, the Maryland State Library Agency, the Wicomico Public Library Board of Trustees, Library Executive Director Carrie Samis, and the many local and state partners who supported the project and advocated for the funding.

“Public libraries are among the most valuable investments a community can make,” Giordano said. “They as centers for education, innovation, workforce training and civic engagement. This grant ensures that Wicomico County residents will have access to a modern facility that can serve our community for generations to come.”

Additional information regarding project timelines and construction planning will be released as the project moves forward.

A mass drive-by shooting in the Princeton Park neighborhood injured 13 people during a Juneteenth gathering Friday

A violent and deadly weekend in Chicago has caught the attention of President Donald Trump.

Fox News Digital has confirmed six people were killed and 39 people were shot in a series of shootings in the Windy City over the weekend.

A mass drive-by shooting in Chicago’s Princeton Park neighborhood resulted in 13 people injured Friday night. Chicago police say an SUV drove up on a crowd of people and two suspects opened fire on multiple victims.

“Offenders from inside the vehicle began firing gunshots towards the crowd before fleeing the scene. Multiple victims sustained gunshot wounds and were transported to local hospitals,” CPD said.

46-year-old Travis Longo’s phone had images and videos “depicting the sexual abuse of infants.”

A drag queen that sits on the school board as vice president in Cazenovia, New York who was accused of sexually explicit communications with a minor has now been charged with possessing child pornography.

Longo faces charges of receiving and possessing child pornography. The US Attorney’s Office has alleged that Longo’s phone had images and videos “depicting the sexual abuse of infants” that Longo had received online. They were found after the New York State Police arrested him on state charges. Longo was then re-booked by federal agents.

State police initially arrested him on four counts of endangering the welfare of a child. According to a report by LocalSYR, investigators found that Longo had “engaged in a pattern of sexually explicit communications with a child under the age of 12.”

Longo was elected Vice President of the Cazenovia School District Board of Education in 2024. Superintendent Kevin Linck issued a statement, saying the district is working closely with legal counsel to “review the matter thoroughly and determine the appropriate immediate steps. In the interim, the individual in question will not be permitted on any school grounds or at any district-sponsored events.”

“The safety, well-being, and peace of mind of our students, staff, and community remain our absolute highest priorities. Because this involves an ongoing administrative and legal matter, we are strictly limited in the specific details we can share publicly. However, please know that we are taking all necessary actions to ensure a safe, secure, and focused learning environment. We will update you as more information becomes available,” the statement added.

Longo also founded the organization Cazenovia Pride Fest and was the first drag performer to be elected to public office in the country. The president of the organization announced that the Pride Festival for this year, other related events, and the organization itself would be shut down.

“Cazenovia Pride Inc. is cancelling this year’s Pride Festival and all associated events, and we are dissolving as an organization. This decision follows serious criminal charges against Travis Longo, the founder of Cazenovia Pride Fest and a longtime figure in our organization. Travis Longo has no further affiliation with Cazenovia Pride Inc,” the organization said.

As federal investigators circle California Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife on multiple fronts, one ghost from his recent past refuses to stay buried: Dana Williamson, his former chief of staff who pleaded guilty last month to serious federal crimes. The details paint a troubling picture of influence peddling, false statements, and a pattern of questionable associations that should alarm anyone concerned with integrity in public office.

Williamson served as Newsom’s top aide from late 2022 into early 2025. Last month, she admitted to conspiring to loot a congressional campaign account linked to Xavier Becerra, the former Biden cabinet secretary now vying to succeed Newsom.

She also pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns and lying to the FBI about her dealings with Activision Blizzard, the video game giant embroiled in one of California’s most notorious workplace lawsuits.

This is no minor ethical lapse. Williamson’s crimes allegedly unfolded, in part, during her time in Newsom’s administration. Federal probes trace back to whistleblower complaints, with investigators now scrutinizing Newsom’s orbit more intensely. Yet the governor continues to frame the entire matter as political persecution orchestrated by President Trump, even as evidence mounts of deeper issues within his circle.

Consider the Activision Blizzard saga. In 2021, California’s civil rights department sued the company over alleged “frat boy” culture, sexual harassment, and pay disparities. The case took strange turns, including allegations of political interference from the governor’s office.

Williamson, who had previously consulted for the company, reportedly worked to quash public records requests seeking transparency. An FBI wiretap captured relevant conversations. The eventual $54 million settlement dramatically scaled back the original claims, dropping key harassment allegations.

Newsom’s office denies any tilting of the scales, pointing to past political opposition from Activision’s then-CEO. But the optics—coupled with a major donor’s timely contribution to Newsom’s anti-recall efforts—raise legitimate questions about favoritism and access in Sacramento. When the state’s own employees raised alarms about interference, they faced repercussions while the governor’s inner circle appeared to protect certain interests.

The Broader Web of Investigations

Williamson’s guilty plea arrives amid multiple DOJ inquiries touching Newsom’s finances, his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s nonprofit and tax matters, and other associates. Sources indicate these probes originated from whistleblowers and predate the current administration, though Newsom insists they represent weaponized justice aimed at derailing his 2028 ambitions.

In “The Techno-Feudal Trap,” the authors deliver a gut-punch of reality: eleven companies control nearly everything on those shelves. Not eleven hundred. Eleven. Nestlé, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola and a handful of others have mastered what’s called “brand proliferation.” They create dozens of labels that look like competitors—Froot Loops next to Cheerios—but both are owned by the same corporate monster. You’re not choosing between businesses. You’re choosing between different masks.

The book traces how this concentration of power wasn’t an accident. It was engineered. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 was supposed to break up monopolies. For a time, it worked. Standard Oil was broken up into 34 companies. Then came the 1970s and a legal philosophy called the “consumer welfare standard” gutted enforcement. Suddenly, as long as a monopoly didn’t raise prices that day, regulators looked the other way. They ignored the crushed competitors, the stolen innovation, the corrupted politics.

CNN is shocked, shocked:

CNN’s statistician Harry Enten BREAKS DOWN the “stunning” rise of socialism in the Democratic Party. “Capitalism has absolutely fallen through the floor. Look at this: it’s now just 42% of Democrats who have a favorable view of capitalism. Socialism, on the other hand, has risen like a rocket…”

CNN shouldn’t be surprised at all. No one should. When the U.S. educational establishment is made up of left-wing hacks who despise the U.S. and the capitalistic system, you are going to get American youth who hate the U.S. and love socialism.

That’s how things have gone in the U.S. since the 1970s. After the Vietnam War, the crazed, dumb leftist hippies took charge on college campuses, and eventually, took over the K -12 system as well. And the indoctrination began. Young minds were taught that the U.S. was an evil colonialist power that loved to slaughter brown peoples. That the U.S. was racist and sexist. That capitalism harmed the poor. That millionaires and billionaires – there were no trillionaires yet – were rapacious and sneakily dominating our nation for their own benefits. (Especially the Jews among them.) That punishing criminals was racist. That Republicans/Conservatives of all stripes were Nazis, despite the Nazis being a party of the “National Socialist” left. (This lie promulgated by Soviet propaganda, which had to be obeyed.) That Republicans/Conservatives were fascistic and anti-democratic. That Republicans/Conservatives were Christian religious fundamentalists who wanted to discriminate against others, despite the current Republican president being a thrice-married man who is in favor of gay marriage. That Western philosophy and culture were bad. That sexual minorities must not only be tolerated but celebrated. That Israel was an American colonialist project imposed on the native Middle Easterners by the Jewish cabal controlling the U.S. Etc.

President Donald Trump said late Saturday that multiple people have been arrested for vandalizing the nation’s newly refurbished Reflecting Pool and that significant repairs will be needed as he demanded “years in jail” for the perpetrators.

“What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and should be dealt with accordingly,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social post platform in a series of posts.

“The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Pool. Who would do such a thing?” he asked. “These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail!”

Trump said extensive repairs will be needed, starting with the likely draining of the water.

“We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible,” he wrote. “What they have damaged does not even include the earlier killing of a large amount of grass which was, by far, the least of it. They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete. They also poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool.”

The president lamented the damage to a project he personally oversaw and had just completed.

“The Reflecting Pool was never so beautiful as it was just one week ago, even going back to 1922 when it opened. We are very proud of what we have done with this magnificent structure, and we will get it repaired, quickly, to an equal level of Beauty,” he promised.

Grooming is predatory manipulation, and it’s happening in our schools. In the clip below, young children and a teacher are gyrating to a drag queen’s movements. They are being groomed. It is a calculated and deliberate process of building. The plan is to normalize a relationship of trust with a child, teenager, or vulnerable adult. The goal in these cases below is to manipulate children; get to them while they are young. They are indoctrinating them.

This is more subtle than what one might usually think of as grooming, but it’s early social engineering and indoctrination. The compliant adults and parents possibly have no idea what they are promoting.

Drag queens generally live sordid lives. Why do they want an audience of small children?

According to multiple news sources, Scottish police arrested and charged a man in Edinburgh after he allegedly stabbed at least five people, and are treating the incident as an anti-Muslim hate crime.

Counter-terrorism police were brought into investigate the incident. The Guardian reports, “A 36-year-old white Scottish man was arrested on Friday.”

Reports are that when police arrived at the Sighthill section of Edinburgh around 8:50 p.m., two men had already been injured. The Guardian reported that according to the Scottish Association of Mosques, two Muslims were attacked “in a park after leaving the Broomhouse mosque.”

Shortly after that, police responded to reported attacks in retail areas north and west of town. Police reported that three other alleged victims were attacked “in the Telford Road and Leith Walk area.”

The BBC reported that security video at a BP gas station showed the suspect standing next to a black vehicle after its windshield was broken. The video showed the man entering the station’s building, where he knocked shelves over and created a mess. Shortly after this, the man was seen approaching a nearby pizza shop, but before he got there, the shop’s staff closed electronic shutters, locking him out.

The BBC reached out to MEND Scotland, a Muslim group, which “said that several of the victims were from the Muslim community.”

Police then caught up with the suspect at about 9:30 p.m., tased him, and arrested him. Subsequent photos and posts show the police arresting the man as he lay on the ground.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down a state-funded scholarship program that awarded financial aid based on the race of college students. The Democrat-controlled court followed the precedent laid out by the United States Supreme Court in finding that Gov. Tony Evers and the state were violating the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution.

Two of the most liberal justices, however, wrote a concurrence denouncing the bar on the use of race for such scholarships.

If Democrats are able to pack the Supreme Court as demanded by many party leaders, this concurrence is an example of the likely changes that a packed court will bring in reversing anti-discrimination and other rulings.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty represented the taxpayers in this successful challenge of the Wisconsin Minority Undergraduate Retention Grant Program.

That program administered taxpayer-funded grants of up to $2,500 per academic year to eligible students of Black American, American Indian, Hispanic, or certain Southeast Asian backgrounds.

In the past 70 years, the subject of the Salem Witch Trials has been hijacked by the political left as a historic example of the authoritarian nature of the “patriarchy”.  Arthur Miller used the trials as an allegory for “anti-communist hysteria” in his famous 1953 play, The Crucible.  As we now know, however, Joseph McCarthy was mostly right when he warned about an insidious and organized Marxist takeover of America’s social and educational institutions.

A more nuanced historic analysis shows that witchcraft was indeed a problem in the colonies just as it was a problem in Europe.  Not so much because of “black magic” or dark curses, but because “witches” were often early representations of social malcontents causing problems in Christian communities just as they cause problems in the western world today.

There were false accusations, there’s no doubt.  But the narrative that most or all witch burnings were unjustified is simply false.

The reason women (and some men) were accused of being witches and burned at the stake was because they willfully engaged in highly destructive anti-social behaviors.  The local witch was often the village abortionist, a seller of poisons, and the town prostitute or harlot plying her “trade” at a time when there was zero tolerance for this kind of behavior.

Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas has announced that the state is making big gains in education after moving to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory, gender nonsense and other forms of ‘social justice’ in schools.

It’s amazing what can be done when schools focus on teaching basic things like reading, writing, and math.

Sanders also encouraged teachers by raising their pay and creating incentives for success. She is basically doing the opposite of every Democrat governor in the country and it’s working.

FOX News reports:

Gov Sanders reveals ‘major breakthrough’ on education as red state positions itself as ‘blueprint’ for nation.

As Democrats across the country criticize education programs in red states, Arkansas Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is touting a major achievement in her state she hopes will serve as an education blueprint for all states, regardless of politics, nationwide.

“The thing we’re most excited about is the fact that so many Arkansas students are doing better now than they would have been doing pre-LEARNS legislation,” Sanders told Fox News Digital on the day her office announced a “major breakthrough” in education following implementation of a 2023 Republican-backed statewide education overhaul, known as the LEARNS Act.

The law also raised the minimum teacher salary from $36,000 to $50,000, created performance-based teacher bonuses, boosted literacy support, funded school safety initiatives and banned critical race theory and classroom teachings related to critical race theory, gender identity, sexual orientation and sexually explicit materials.

Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said in a social media post on Saturday that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the architect of the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine disinformation chief, could still be prosecuted after she released evidence that he lied to Congress about COVID-19 origins and US funding of gain-of-function research. 

Fauci received a sweeping pardon from Joe Biden in January 2025, shielding him from prosecution for crimes he committed between 2014 and 2025. The Department of Justice claims an investigation into the legitimacy of Biden’s pardons remains ongoing. Thousands of acts of clemency and executive actions were signed with an autopen rather than a wet signature under Biden, and his aides wielded the authority without his knowledge.

Responding to criticisms that she didn’t “create a path” to prosecute Fauci on X, Gabbard wrote, “He lied to Congress in 2024. There is a path.”

For more than a year, residents living next to the Vantage Data Centers facility have endured what they describe as a constant, high-pitched whining or ringing sound coming from the site’s massive backup generators – the facility’s only source of electricity.

Unlike most data centers connected to the power grid, this facility runs entirely on its own on-site power plant. What residents were told would be temporary generator testing has become permanent operation.

“They’re Just Never Turned Off”

Neighbor Hari Doue told News Nation that the community was initially assured the generators were only being tested for emergencies.

“We were told in the beginning that they test the generators to make sure they’re working in case of an emergency. And then as the year and the months have gone on, they’re just never turned off,” Doue said.

Another neighbor, Greg Pirio, has reached out to attorneys over the issue. He described the impact bluntly:

“You just hear this noise, it’s just like, you just want to curse, you know, it’s that bad.”

Some residents have taken drastic steps to cope. One placed a mattress against their window to muffle the sound. Another installed plexiglass and began monitoring decibel levels with a sound meter. Concerns center on sleep disruption, stress, and falling property values.

Vantage Data Centers officials told NewsNation they continue to monitor noise levels and do not believe the sound exceeds Loudoun County’s limits – which is 55 decibels in Residential and rural areas and 60 decibels in Mixed-use residential areas. Exceptions include generators operating during emergencies, at utility request, or during testing.

Virginia: America’s Data Center Capital

Virginia has the largest concentration of data centers in the United States – 287 operational and 398 prospective, according to Pew Research. Loudoun County has become ground zero for this boom, often called “Data Center Alley.”

The economic upside is significant. Data centers generate almost half of Loudoun County’s property tax revenues, funding schools and public services while helping keep residential tax rates lower.

However, the facilities consumed approximately 26% of Virginia’s total electricity in 2023, contributing to higher energy costs for all residents.

Finally, a Bush probably won’t have to prompt people to clap.

With most of the political news out of Maine dominated by the Democrats’ Senate nominee Graham Platner, many Americans might have missed another major news story out of the Pine Tree State in the 2026 primary season, but it was a death knell to dynastic politics in the U.S.

Jonathan Bush — a member of a family responsible for two meh presidents and a slew of other disappointing candidates — couldn’t survive Maine’s ranked-choice voting system in the Republican primary for governor, as the New York Post reported Friday.

president No. 43, was vying to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Janet Mills in Maine. (Mills herself withdrew from the Democratic primary for Senate after it was clear she was going to lose to Platner, the hobbyist oysterman and Nazi/latrine enthusiast.)

Bush didn’t exactly have the sense to withdraw, however. Despite having no real experience in the political world, he embarked on a campaign in one of the two states that his family dynasty calls home.

A federal judge on Friday rejected former President Joe Biden’s attempt to block the Trump administration from releasing to a conservative group the recordings that Biden made with a ghostwriter.

U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich found that the public interest in the material outweighed whatever privacy rights Biden had.

The recordings were obtained by then-special counsel Robert Hur in the course of his investigation into whether Biden improperly retained classified documents when he served as a senator and vice president. Republicans in Congress demanded them after Hur declined to file charges against the then-president.

In these days, following years of Joe Biden’s advocacy of, and demand for, transgenderism even for little children, parents are facing threats that mostly had not been present in days gone by.

That would be the possible presence of a man who says he is a woman in a public restroom for women, and what might next happen, especially when two little girls enter.

It was Oklahoma dad Tyler Brodsky who opted for safety, and when his girls needed a rest stop during a trip home from Florida, he chose to accompany them into the otherwise unoccupied women’s room.

He explained on social media, “We stopped at a QuikTrip on our road trip from Florida back to Oklahoma so my daughters could use the restroom. The women’s restroom was empty, so I took them in. I’d rather do that than bring two little girls into a men’s bathroom full of grown men and dirty stalls. This guy comes barging in yelling, scares my daughters, and somehow thinks THEY should’ve been in the men’s room instead. Am I wrong here?”

The fight, which fell short of actual fisticuffs, drew the attention of millions online, and now reports confirm that the man who called police on the dad is losing his work.

It was a Mississippi man identified as Robert Buckner who called police and complained about the dad, explaining his wife and mother-in-law wanted to use the room, and Brodsky had not yet left.

Now the New York Post reports Buckner has lost some work.

“Overstreet Properties is aware of videos circulating on social media depicting conduct by a former independent contractor during a personal trip that was unrelated to the company,” the company confirmed. “The conduct depicted in the video does not reflect the values of Overstreet Properties or the standards we expect of those who represent our organization. Our focus remains on providing quality service to our clients, partners, and community. The individual depicted in the video is no longer associated with Overstreet Properties.”

The comments came during an exchange between Benny Johnson and Deputy Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling, who discussed the scale of unemployment insurance fraud and the administration’s efforts to prevent similar abuses in the future.

“Employment insurance fraud, massive vector of fraud in the country. How are you going to be solving this?” Johnson asked.

Sonderling began by highlighting President Donald Trump’s creation of a federal anti-fraud initiative and Vice President J.D. Vance’s leadership role in the effort.

American voters believe building more data centers in the United States are not worth the potential strain on local electricity, water and infrastructure and that the negatives outweigh the importance for national security and competing with China, according to a new poll.

The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll found that 54% believe that data centers are not worth the strain while 29% said they believed that building more data centers in the United States is important for national security and competing with China.

The poll showed 17% were not sure.

The results come from a survey conducted by Noble Predictive Insights from June 1-4 and polled registered voters nationally via opt-in online panel and text-to-web cell phone messages. The sample included 2,585 respondents comprised of 915 Republicans, 1,013 Democrats, and 297 True Independents (Independents who, when asked if they leaned toward one of the major parties, chose neither). The margin of error is +/- 1.93%.

The poll was closest amongst those who voted for President Donald Trump, with 41% of Trump voters saying it is most important to compete with China and 44% believing that the costs are not worth the strain.

Among those who voted for Kamala Harris in the last presidential election, 63% said it was not worth the strain while 19% believed it was most important to compete with China.

Mike Noble, founder of Noble Predictive Insights, said that the idea that competing with China in artificial intelligence and data centers fell flat.

“I think that really goes back to that they haven’t done a good job with their messaging,” Noble said. “Even then, only 29% thought it was important for national security in that race with China.”

A former transgender New Hampshire state legislator who pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of children last year was sentenced to 33 years in prison.

Stacie Laughton (biological male), a Democrat who was elected to the New Hampshire House three times and resigned twice over legal problems, was sentenced to more than 30 years in prison in connection to child sex crimes on Thursday.

In 2023, Laughton, 41, of Nashua, New Hampshire, and his former intimate partner and daycare worker, Lindsay Groves, were charged with child exploitation.

Groves admitted to taking sexually explicit photos of children at the daycare center and sending them to Laughton.

There are two primary obstacles to finding the truth in any given situation: Cognitive dissonance and propaganda. One always feeds into the other. Effective propaganda works because it caters to the biases or fears of it’s target audience. Cognitive dissonance is the open door through which propaganda enters the mind and controls it.

When it comes to Donald Trump and his administration, there is a LOT of propaganda and cognitive dissonance, and the vast majority of it is weaponized against him rather than for him. If you are unbiased, this is blatantly obvious. If you are hoping for his administration to fail, then you won’t see it at all; you’ll simply find a reason to see the worst.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has granted a preliminary injunction blocking a California law that banned schools from disclosing to parents a child’s “gender identity.”

The injunction blocks California’s AB 1955, a law that prohibits schools from disclosing information to parents about a child’s sexual orientation, “gender identity,” or gender expression, unless the child consents.

The city of Huntington Beach had sued California Gov. Gavin Newsom over the law.

The ruling says in part:

“As the Court explained, the substantive due process right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children includes the right not to be shut out of participation in decisions regarding their children’s mental health,’ which includes the right to information known to the school about whether a child exhibits symptoms of gender dysphoria at school.”

America First Legal Foundation represented the city.

Ancient writings of two Roman historians have been highlighted as some of the strongest evidence that Jesus was a real person.

The records come from Tacitus, one of Rome’s most respected historians, and Flavius Josephus, a Jewish aristocrat and historian who lived just decades after Jesus’ death.

Neither man was a Christian, and neither was trying to prove the claims of the New Testament.

Yet both left behind accounts that place Jesus in Judea, connect him to the origins of Christianity and link his death to the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.

In one of the texts, Tacitus wrote that a man called Christus was executed during the reign of Emperor Tiberius.

In another, Josephus referred to James as ‘the brother of Jesus-who-is-called-Messiah,’ identifying Jesus as a real person known to his readers.

The references have drawn renewed attention as historians continue examining evidence for Jesus that exists outside the Bible.

For many scholars, the accounts represent some of the clearest non-Christian evidence that Jesus was a historical figure rather than a legend.

A retired Army colonel has asked Maryland Governor Wes Moore to ‘release everything’ on his military record in order to dispel rumors about alleged stolen valor.

Moore, 47, has been accused of falsely claiming he had been awarded a Bronze Star in his 2006 application for the White House fellowship program.

The Democrat politician apologized for what he and his former commanding officer described as a paperwork error, and he was given the military medal months later.

Moore served as an Army captain in Afghanistan from 2005 until March 2006, and he was awarded a Bronze Star for ‘meritorious service’ during his time there.

However, his critics argue that he had not received the accolade at the time of his application to the White House fellowship – a prestigious program designed to fast-track emerging leaders into government positions.

Moore secured the fellowship at the age of 27, serving as a special assistant to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice from 2006 until 2007.

Retired Army colonel Drew Sullins has renewed the focus on the topic by analyzing Moore’s records for conservative-leaning newspaper the Baltimore Sun.

‘We have asked a wide-ranging variety of questions about his military service,’ Sullins said in an interview on Wednesday with the outlet’s Spotlight on Maryland.

“Where’s my granddaughter?” Biden asked in an awkward moment on stage.

As he often did during his presidency, Biden appeared confused.

The awkward moment occurred shortly after former President Barack Obama began leaving the stage to the sound of upbeat music. Obama even played the air guitar as he bounced his way toward the exit.

Newly declassified documents released Thursday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard show that a U.S. national laboratory assessed the COVID-19 lab-origin hypothesis as a serious possibility as early as May 2020, as well as evidence of U.S.-funded coronavirus research that included planning for spike-protein modifications, receptor-adaptation experiments, and testing in humanized mice in collaboration with researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The documents also prove that Anthony Fauci lied under oath.

The release, issued on Gabbard’s last day on the job, includes an eight-page May 27, 2020, assessment from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Z Program. That assessment concluded that “all of the necessary conditions for an accidental release of a laboratory-modified coronavirus – specifically a coronavirus adapted to recognize human cell receptors – were present at the Chinese Wuhan Institute of Virology in mid-to-late 2019.” It assigned equal weight to a laboratory-modification hypothesis and a natural-origin scenario.

In a unanimous decision, the Court sided with Texas resident Ali Danial Hemani, a man who admitted he uses marijuana several times a week but wasn’t accused of violence, brandishing a firearm, drug trafficking, or doing anything reckless with a gun.

According to reporting from the Associated Press and Reuters, the case has been closely watched because it sits at the intersection of expanding marijuana legalization and the Supreme Court’s post-Bruen Second Amendment jurisprudence.

Yet the federal government still wanted to prosecute him. Why?

Because under federal law, marijuana remains a controlled substance, and prosecutors argued that Hemani’s marijuana use alone was enough to make him a prohibited person under 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(3).

The Supreme Court wasn’t buying it.

A proposal to tax the wealth of billionaires in California has officially gathered enough signatures to appear on the November ballot, state officials announced.

The California Secretary of State’s Office said the initiative surpassed the signature threshold required to qualify for the Nov. 3, 2026, ballot, setting the stage for what could become one of the most expensive and closely watched political battles in state history.

The measure would impose a one-time tax of up to 5% on individuals and trusts with more than $1 billion in assets. Covered assets would include businesses, securities, art, collectibles, and intellectual property, while excluding real estate and certain retirement accounts.

Hundreds more people have been sickened and dozens more hospitalized with an antibiotic-resistant strain of bacteria being linked to backyard chickens.

In April, the CDC warned of an outbreak of Salmonella Saintpaul among people who reported contact with backyard poultry.

When first reported, there were 34 people sickened and 13 hospitalized across 13 states. An update from May reported 184 total cases, 53 total hospitalizations and one death across 31 states.

One of Baltimore City’s premier bar and restaurant districts was transformed into a warzone over the weekend, with roaming gangs of underage kids, large unruly crowds, fights, and even a shootout that seemed like a scene from the crime drama The Wire. Urban decay in Baltimore is rampant and is a symptom of failed left-wing leadership, which seems more focused on city-killing progressive politics, DEI, illegal aliens, and climate change than actually providing basic law and order to taxpayers.

Fox Baltimore reports that Fells Point was flooded with hundreds of young people, mostly underage teens, overwhelming parts of the nightlife district known for its local shops, bars, and restaurants.

What came next was chaos…

As of Friday, 18-20 year-old West Virginians are able to legally conceal carry for self-defense without needing any permit or license from the state.

On April 2, 2026, Breitbart News reported that Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R) signed legislation to expand the state’s constitutional carry provision to include 18-20 year-olds. Prior to that, 18-20 year-olds could only carry concealed if they passed a gun safety course and acquired a permit.

The legislation signed into law by Morrisey took effect on Friday.

WTRF noted that Dr. Jim McJunkin argued against expanding constitutional carry to 18-20 year-olds, suggesting it “creates concerns because of impulsive behavior, risk-taking, and the potential for substance abuse.”

However, numerous pro-2A voices defended the legislation and those contending for the right of 18-20 year-olds to be armed for self-defense carried the day.

It should be noted that 18-20 year-olds could already legally open carry a handgun in West Virginia without a permit.

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Tuesday against New York health officials and the company overseeing the state’s multibillion-dollar home care initiative, alleging misconduct in the awarding and administration of the program.

Federal prosecutors named the New York State Department of Health, the state’s Medicaid director, and Public Partnerships LLC (PPL) in a complaint filed in federal court in Brooklyn. Prosecutors allege state officials predetermined the outcome of the bidding process and steered the contract to PPL despite concerns about the company’s proposal. The complaint further claims New York failed to intervene after learning PPL intended to deviate from commitments made during the procurement process.

“New York’s backroom deal with PPL has cost taxpayers millions of dollars and cast countless Medicaid patients to the curb,” Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald for the Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division said. “Today’s action is the latest reminder that the Justice Department is mobilizing every available tool to protect taxpayer-funded programs from fraud and corruption.”

“One of the Justice Department’s key priorities is protecting the public fisc and delivering savings to American taxpayers,” Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division said.

Shumate continued:

New York’s failure to police a favored vendor that unlawfully siphoned millions of dollars of Medicaid funding is egregious and betrays the public trust. The Justice Department is acting to ensure that federal laws regarding truthful statements and fair dealing in federal health care programs are upheld and to prevent additional harm from being exacted against the public by Public Partnerships LLC and New York.

The lawsuit seeks court intervention to stop what federal prosecutors describe as widespread misconduct in the administration of New York’s $10 billion CDPAP program.

This isn’t the kind of news liberals generally see fit to print.

The New York Times Magazine this week published a mammoth look at the last days of life for sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, apparently aimed at establishing firmly whether the official finding that Epstein committed suicide actually holds water

On that front, the effort is a failure, but the notoriously liberal publication did manage to cement one fact — and it’s not the kind of fact its liberal readership craves when it comes to President Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton praised President Trump during an interview with New Yorker editor David Remnick in New York City.

David Remnick tried to bait Hillary Clinton into bashing President Trump’s 20-point peace plan with Gaza, but she surprised him when she actually praised Trump.

“But if I look at the Israeli polity, they don’t want a two-state solution, certainly not now. And if you look at the Palestinian polity, which is an even more complicated set of geographies and population, a two-state solution is not anywhere near the offing there,” Remnick said to Hillary.

“So other than some constituents, now it’s diminishing, in the West and elsewhere, a two-state solution, which was fought for so hard but began going out the window many years ago, seems impossible. Am I wrong?” Remnick asked Hillary.

Hillary paused before pushing back on David Remnick.

“You might be, but you might not be,” Hillary Clinton said. “And here’s why. I’m going to say something positive about Trump… so hold on.”

David Remnick expressed shock, “Okay, I’ve got a grip on my chair right now.”

The Elitist Media continue to play word games in order to delegitimize ongoing efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens from the United States. A recent ramming of an ICE officer was barely covered on the network evening news and featured a glaring mischaracterization.

DAVID MUIR: Tonight, police outside New York City say an ICE agent has been injured by an escaping suspect in Stafford Township, New Jersey, along the Jersey Shore. Authorities say the agent was struck by a van allegedly driven by the suspect. That agent firing a shot at the suspect’s vehicle as it drove off. Police now searching for the suspect, no word on the agent’s condition.

Of course, there’s a lot more to the story. Per MRC Bulldog Award winner Jennie Taer of The Daily Wire:

An illegal immigrant rammed his car into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer during an arrest operation Monday, forcing the agent to fire back, The Daily Wire has learned.

Friedrich Castillo-Ormeno, an illegal immigrant from Peru, allegedly hit the officer as he was attempting to pull him over in Manahawkin, New Jersey, according to an ICE spokesperson. The officer discharged his weapon during the attack.

The officer was later transported to a local hospital for the treatment of his injuries, ICE said. Meanwhile, Castillo-Ormeno remains on the run after fleeing the scene.

The $20 million program, which is funded by a local tax on legal marijuana sales, gives $25,000 to Black residents or their direct descendants who lived in Evanston, Illinois, between 1919 and 1969 and claim to have suffered housing discrimination because of city ordinances, policies or practices.

The federal government on Tuesday asked a judge to put a stop to the nation’s first reparations program for Black people, arguing it’s unconstitutional. The DOJ is intervening in a 2024 lawsuit filed against the City of Evanston, Illinois, over the program.

The city started the program in 2021, with the goal of giving money to Black residents or their direct descendants who lived in the city between 1919 and 1969 and claim to have suffered housing discrimination because of city ordinances, policies or practices.

The $20 million program, which is funded by a local tax on legal marijuana sales, also applies to residents of any race who claim to have experienced discrimination due to city policies after 1969. The city has already dolled out $7 million to hundreds of people in $25,000 payments, the Associated Press reported.

The program allots different benefits based on the race of the recipient, which the Department of Justice argues is “racially discriminatory” and violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

“There are sound ways for a city to remedy past discrimination or direct resources to its most vulnerable citizens and neighborhoods. Simply handing out money based on race, however, is not the answer. It is race discrimination, pure and simple. And it is illegal,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said in a statement.

Michael Bekesha filed a lawsuit in 2024 against the City of Evanston over the program on behalf of six plaintiffs who said they’d have been eligible for the program if they were black. He told the Associated Press that the applicants weren’t required to demonstrate they were specifically harmed by the city’s policies and practices, which means that race is the only criteria upon which funds are dispersed.

For generations, the word “cancer” has carried a frightening weight. It has meant surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, long odds, difficult choices, and deep uncertainty for millions of families. Yet a growing number of researchers and pharmaceutical leaders now believe the next decade could bring a dramatic shift in how certain cancers are treated — and perhaps even cured.

That optimism was recently voiced by Johnson & Johnson CEO Joaquin Duato, who said curing some cancers and turning others into manageable chronic diseases is a realistic goal within the next 10 years. It is a bold claim, but not one made in a vacuum. Across oncology, advances in immunotherapy, targeted drugs, precision medicine, cancer vaccines, and artificial intelligence are changing what doctors can do for patients who once had far fewer options.

The word “cure” still requires caution. Cancer is not one disease. It is hundreds of diseases, each with its own biology, mutations, vulnerabilities, and patterns of resistance. A therapy that works remarkably well in one form of melanoma may do little for pancreatic cancer. A breakthrough for one blood cancer may not translate quickly to solid tumors. Still, the momentum is real.

The American Cancer Society projects more than 2.1 million new cancer diagnoses and more than 626,000 cancer deaths in the United States in 2026. Those numbers are sobering. At the same time, survival has improved dramatically over the past several decades, thanks to better screening, lower smoking rates, earlier detection, improved surgery and radiation, and more effective drug treatments. More Americans are living after a cancer diagnosis than ever before.

One of the most important race cases in America is happening right this very moment in California, and for some odd reason, conservative media isn’t talking about it.

We’re about to change that.

In all fairness, maybe people don’t know what’s going down in LA. But this is exactly the kind of story that should be followed very closely, because what happens in Cali won’t stay in Cali. As we all know, lots of bad ideas start there and spread across the country like a bad rash.

The story goes like this: the 1776 Project Foundation is suing the Los Angeles Unified School District over a race-based school classification system that discriminates against white students and other students who attend schools that don’t qualify under the district’s “Predominantly Hispanic, Black, Asian, and Other Non-Anglo.”

So, what does that mean, exactly? The lawsuit claims LAUSD has been using race categories to decide which schools get certain benefits, resources, and opportunities. The DOJ has now jumped into the case on the side of the 1776 Project Foundation. So now, we’re looking at a major constitutional fight over whether public schools can treat students differently based on the color of their skin.

And this is also where the ACLU joins the chat.

The ACLU loves to sell itself as this bipartisan civil-liberties watchdog willing to defend the rights of all Americans, and maybe at one time they were, but not anymore. Now they seem more interested in defending and fighting for the left’s political agenda.

The ACLU is now claiming it’s okay to defend past discrimination, with discrimination, as long as it’s against white kids.

Here are more details on the heart of this case.

Joe Biden appeared on an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage on Monday. During that, he said a thing or two that should enrage the American people. One of those things was him bragging about his attempts to destroy the oil industry to make this country worse off.

According to Biden, he “made sure there could be no oil drilling off the East Coast, the West Coast and 150 miles off the Gulf of Mexico.” He then proceeded to gargle a bunch of words and then claimed: “no more wind mills because they kill birds.” And that bird comment might have been one of the smartest things he said since the left pretended he had a stutter.

“NJ Antifa is now freaking out because James O’Keefe is obtaining internal screenshots from multiple Antifa group chats,” O’Keefe wrote.

O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) says members of a New Jersey-based Antifa network are scrambling after learning that internal group chats were infiltrated by an undercover journalist.

In a post on X, OMG founder James O’Keefe shared a screenshot purportedly from a private chat in which a participant warned members that “someone is taking screenshots of this chat and sending it to James O’Keefe.” The image also appeared to show multiple members leaving the group shortly after the warning was posted.

“NJ Antifa is now freaking out because James O’Keefe is obtaining internal screenshots from multiple Antifa group chats,” O’Keefe wrote. “I want to thank the many insiders within NJ Antifa who are providing all the screenshots to us.”

President Donald Trump has long vowed to eliminate or at least vastly downsize the Department of Education, saying we should “shut [it] down” and “move education back to the states where it belongs.”

On Tuesday, the administration made moves to accomplish just that. Officials announced that they’re moving authority over key programs from the ED to other departments:

The Department of Justice will take on enforcement of civil rights in education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will oversee special education, administration officials announced. With those moves, the Education Department has now carved away the vast majority of its functions for other agencies to handle.

The two Education Department offices involved — the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and the Office for Civil Rights — defend the rights of children with disabilities and those who experience discrimination based on race, sex or religion.

The Justice Department is proud to partner with @usedgov on civil rights enforcement, student privacy protection, and training and advisory services to support students and families.

Together, we are advancing a national commitment to ensuring every student is treated with dignity and has an equal opportunity to succeed both in the classroom and on the court or field.

Builders reveal that a critical labor shortage in their field is fueling the housing affordability crisis in America.

America needs more homes, but the industry doesn’t have nearly enough workers to build them.

With too few skilled laborers to meet the growing demand, construction is taking longer, costs are rising, and, as a result, the much-needed housing supply in the U.S. remains constrained.

Experts in the industry point to an aging workforce, a lack of younger Americans entering the skilled trades, and immigration policies that they say have failed to keep pace with labor needs.

“Labor is one of the largest and most expensive inputs when it comes to home production and land development,” Jim Tobin, president and CEO of the National Association of Home Builders, told Fox News Digital.

He said that every month, the construction industry is short by approximately 250,000 workers.

The brother of late war hero and NFL star Pat Tillman was sentenced to five years behind bars after admitting to firebombing a San Jose post office in a twisted effort to send a message to the government.

Richard Tillman, 45, was hit with the sentence Monday after using his car to intentionally set fire to the San Jose post office on Crown Boulevard on July 20, 2025, in order “make a point to the United States government,” federal officials said.

Authorities said Richard Tillman drove his car to the post office after purchasing firelogs and lighter fluid. He then crashed his vehicle through the front doors of the building before spreading lighter fluid throughout the car, lighting it on fire and fleeing the scene, officials said.

The lobby of the post office quickly went up in flames, completely destroying the space. The lobby has remained closed ever since. 

Judge Edward J. Davila also sentenced Richard Tillman to an additional three-year period of supervised release, and ordered him to pay restitution of more than $2 million to the US Postal Service, according to NBC Bay Area.

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked Idaho’s law that criminalized transgender bathroom use.

US District Judge Amanda Brailsford, a Biden appointee, issued a preliminary injunction blocking Idaho’s H.B. 752, which banned transgender people from using restrooms that did not match their biological gender.

Idaho’s law, which was set to go into effect on July 1, threatened to jail transgender people for five years if they broke the law.

The ghouls at the ACLU celebrated the judge’s ruling.

“This ruling means trans folks in Idaho can continue participating in public life without the threat of being arrested for using the bathroom,” said Paul Carlos Southwick, ACLU of Idaho Legal Director. “Trans Idahoans have been understandably anxious about the disruption this unconstitutional law would cause in their daily lives. This ruling will relieve that anxiety for our trans friends and neighbors.”

“This decision provides significant protections for transgender people in Idaho from the efforts of state politicians to force them out of public life altogether,” said Barbara Schwabauer, senior staff attorney for the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project. “No one should be forced to choose between the threat of arrest for being themselves in public or the threat of harassment and violence for acting the way the state wants them to be. The preliminary injunction is a vital first step as we continue to challenge this gross violation of privacy and fundamental equality until the law is blocked for good.”

“Our Constitution provides critical protections against laws that are unclear and that call on officers to make arbitrary judgments about how to enforce them, especially when the law threatens imprisonment,” said Kell Olson, Counsel with Lambda Legal. “The court recognized that threat in providing relief to plaintiffs today. This ruling will allow transgender people throughout Idaho to find and use a public restroom, without the fear of arrest looming over them, while we continue the longer fight to permanently defeat this discriminatory law in court.”

The far-left Southern Poverty Law Center’s hypocrisy just hit a new low and this time it’s personal, sleazy, and allegedly involved actual neo-Nazis.

According to a New York Post exclusive citing the Department of Justice superseding indictment, former SPLC Director of the Intelligence Project Heidi Beirich was in a romantic relationship with a paid informant inside the white supremacist National Alliance.

The SPLC funneled more than $1.2 million in donor money to the man, identified only as “F-9.” The pair even shared a house and two joint bank accounts, with SPLC donor funds allegedly used to cover their personal living expenses.

This is the same SPLC that built a $700+ million empire by branding conservatives, Christians, pro-life activists, and Trump supporters as “hate groups” while secretly bankrolling real extremists.

The New York Post reported:

The Department of Justice filed a superseding indictment against the SPLC accusing it of funneling donor cash to hate groups they were then telling donors they were fighting.

One figure, referred to as “Employee-2” in the indictment, is described as a “person who would become Director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project.”

After growing to become one of the largest used car retailers in the U.S., Carvana is expanding into the new vehicle market.

The company has quietly purchased seven new vehicle franchises since last year that primarily sell Stellantis’ Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram brands, including a location in Arizona that has become the automaker’s largest volume store in the U.S.

Dealers and industry experts said they believe the move could significantly disrupt, if not reshape, the century-old new vehicle franchised dealer system.

“Carvana entering the new vehicle franchise business may be one of the most disruptive forces that auto retailing has seen in the U.S. market in decades,” John Murphy, a longtime Wall Street analyst and automotive consultant, told CNBC.

The U.S. franchised dealership system — which includes 16,990 retailers that topped $1.3 trillion in sales last year, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association — has historically been reluctant to change. However, dealers have grown more adaptable in recent years as a means of survival, including during the pandemic and with the rise of publicly traded dealership groups.

From the thwarted terrorist attack that targeted the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House to the SPLC funding hate groups to generate more hatred for them to raise funds against, it’s clear that two things are happening. They want us to think that hate is only real when they feel it’s necessary and anyone who claims otherwise is a conspiracy theorist.

They are trying to manage reactions, feelings, and sentiment towards our so-called leaders. This is all part of their plan and it’s necessary for the Globalist Elite Cabal to win.

They will not win.

Ah, the consequences of leftwing actions.

Today, a federal indictment was unsealed, charging 15 defendants with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers, and other charges related to efforts of two Minneapolis-based Antifa groups that violently opposed the enforcement of federal law in our state.

But I was told Antifa was just an idea!

The defendants are members and associates of Direct Action Minnesota. They are charged with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, interstate threats, interstate stalking, assault on federal officers, and destruction of government property.

Earlier this morning, agents of Homeland Security Investigations conducted a coordinated law enforcement operation culminating in the arrest of 12 of the 15 defendants. One defendant had already been in custody on other federal charges. Two defendants remain fugitives at large.

Today’s charges and arrests reflect a broad federal effort to address organized lawless behavior which seeks to disrupt the execution of federal law, endanger law enforcement, and importantly, endanger the very communities that these defendants falsely claim to be protecting.

It’s amazing.

This is an adapted excerpt from Delano Squires’ new book “The Vanishing Black Family: How Welfare and Feminism Made Marriage Optional and Children Vulnerable,” out June 16 from Sentinel.

“Raise your hand if you’re married.” This was the opening line in a 1986 CBS documentary on black families in Newark, New Jersey.

Bill Moyers, the journalist who narrated the television special, asked this question to about ten young black mothers sitting in a semicircle. None of the women raised their hands. He continued by asking how many of the mothers would like to be married to the father of their child. One hand went up.

Moyers, clearly seeking to understand the women, asked “Don’t you think you might need help in raising that baby from a man?”

One mother spoke up, and the camera shot also included her baby. The child—who appeared to be a little boy not quite two—looked up at his mother as Moyers asked the question. He was too young to understand his mother’s answer, but the viewers certainly could. “Not really,” she said. “I didn’t have a father.”

You could see how her experience growing up without a father influenced her ultimate conclusion: “Male figures are not substantially important in the family.”

That documentary, “The Vanishing Family: Crisis in Black America,” took an honest look at the breakdown of the traditional family structure in the inner city. Many of the mothers interviewed for the program were on welfare. One of the fathers said providing for his children was the responsibility of their mothers and the government.

According to Moyers, “In cities all over America the traditional family no longer exists. It has vanished and something new is taking its place. Single women and the children they’re rearing alone are the fastest growing part of the black population.”

The Gateway Pundit reported that Hollyweird actress Amanda Seyfried faced criticism following comments she made immediately after conservative icon Charlie Kirk was murdered in a politically motivated assassination.

Following the assassination,  Seyfried commented on an Instagram reel of his remarks and labeled him ‘misogynistic and racist.’

While Seyfried apparently has a strong opinion about Kirk, it is unclear if she ever actually listened to him debate or is relying only on selective soundbites peddled by the far left.

In a subsequent interview, she doubled down in vulgar fashion.

In an interview with WhoWhatWhere, Seyfriend doubled down, saying, “I’m not f***ing apologizing for that. I mean, for f***’s sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes. What I said was pretty damn factual, and I’m free to have an opinion, of course.”

“Thank God for Instagram. I was able to give some clarity, and it was about getting my voice back because I felt like it had been stolen and recontextualized—which is what people do, of course.”

Now, Seyfried, in an interview with British GQ  shared how she feared for her own safety after her hateful comments went viral.

After Major League Baseball (MLB) warned three San Francisco Giants players for wearing Bible verses on their caps during the team’s LGBTQ+ “Pride Night” game on Friday, comedian Rob Schneider offered to pay the fines of any players who defy the Bible ban.

“I will pay the fines for any @MLB Christian player who wears a Bible verse on their uniform. @MLB is ANTI-CHRISTIAN,” Schneider declared Tuesday in a social media post.

Schneider was reacting to a Sports Illustrated story reporting on the league’s rebuke:

“Three Giants pitchers were issued a warning from Major League Baseball after they appeared in Friday’s game against the Cubs with Bible verses written on their Pride Night caps. The league notified the players that similar behavior would not be tolerated in the future.

“Right-handed pitcher Landen Roupp started Friday’s game on the mound. Etched on his cap throughout the game was ‘Gen 9:12-16’ in white lettering. The writing was a reference to the Bible verse Genesis 9:12-16.”

Two San Francisco relief pitchers, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker, also wore Bible verses on their caps.

The next day, the Giants issued a statement apologizing to the LGBTQ+ community because the Bible verses angered them:

“We understand that the choices by individual players have caused pain and anger to many in the LGBTQ+ community and we are sorry for that.”

More

Major League Baseball (MLB) threatened to punish several Christian ballplayers for the San Francisco Giants on Monday after they inscribed Bible verses on their team’s “pride night” uniforms.

“The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations,” MLB Chief Communications Officer Pat Courtney said in a statement to media outlets.

People from Scotland who are in the United States for the World Cup absolutely love America and are having the time of their lives. It’s such an amazing contrast with American Democrats who actually live here and are constantly miserable and full of hate for their own country.

In the city of Boston, Scottish World Cup fans who have been dubbed the ‘Tartan Army’ are literally drinking the city dry. Bars are actually running out of beer! No one can keep up with these folks, yet there are no problems. Everyone is respectful and just having a great time. And they LOVE it here.

One person was killed and another wounded when an employee reportedly opened fire on two people inside a Delaware hospital on Tuesday — setting off a desperate manhunt that saw cops nab the guman fleeing across state lines.

Police discovered two victims with gunshot wounds inside Wilmington Hospital around 3:30 p.m, Wilmington Police Chief Wilfredo Campos said at a press conference on Tuesday evening.

One person was blasted in the neck, and the other took a bullet to the upper body, according to scanner audio obtained by NBC10.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has launched an aggressive counteroffensive against a federal investigation he calls a politically motivated “fishing expedition” – for a probe which was opened under the Biden administration.

In a video posted to X and a formal letter to the Department of Justice, Newsom demanded all internal communications since January 2025 that mention him or his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The Freedom of Information Act request targets top DOJ officials, including former Attorney General Pam Bondi who was dismissed in April 2026, and Acting officials Emil Bove and Todd Blanche. It sets a July 6, 2026 deadline.

Newsom claims federal agents have been questioning family members, friends, and former employees not because a crime has been identified, but because the Trump administration is trying to manufacture one. He attributes the scrutiny to his vocal criticism of President Trump and the possibility that he may run for president in 2028.

The DOJ has not confirmed or commented on the existence or scope of any investigation. What has surfaced publicly points to two tracks: whistleblower allegations concerning Siebel Newsom’s taxes and a separate corruption inquiry linked to Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson.

The Behested Payments Pipeline

At the center of much of the speculation is California’s long-standing practice of “behested payments,” which are donations that politicians solicit from private interests on behalf of nonprofit organizations. Following 2021 ethics reforms, amounts above $5,000 must be disclosed, yet the rules remain relatively permissive. Critics, including Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton, have called the mechanism “literally corruption in plain sight” and pledged to ban it.

Reporting has established that Newsom directed more than $4.4 million in behested payments to the California Partners Project, a nonprofit founded by his wife that focuses on gender equity. Siebel Newsom takes no salary from the organization, but the donations have been described as essential to keeping its operations running. The group has also collaborated with Siebel Newsom’s other nonprofit, The Representation Project, which pays her $150,000 annually, and has worked with her private-sector film production company.

One transaction stands out. The Washington Free Beacon reported that Newsom asked a Native American tribe to make two separate $500,000 donations to the California Partners Project. Contemporaneously, he took that tribe’s side in a dispute with another tribe over a proposed casino. The juxtaposition of large directed donations to a family-linked nonprofit coinciding with favorable official action has fueled questions about whether donors with business before the state were effectively paying for access or goodwill through the governor’s wife’s charity.
