Mexico’s second-highest official became the butt of jokes after her late arrival to a top-level cabinet meeting, where she was seen struggling to get off the back of a motorcycle, remove a pink helmet, and run inside. Videos of the incident went viral in Mexico and were shown on most newscasts, where Mexico’s Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodriguez, is seen rushing to the meeting in a unique way. The meeting was due to the arrival of U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who had arrived in Mexico to meet with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to discuss…

Stephen Colbert is gone, and we are very happy for it. He made his bones with humorless jokes about the president all night, every night. His lack of creativity alone should have gotten him fired. All these contributors and not a funny joke a night. And it’s the reason they were canceled. That head count is more than most decent sized businesses. For 3 jokes a night, at best. https://t.co/50pAssA87w — GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) May 23, 2026 As Joe Concha said on X: “Given Colbert was making $15 million per year, what exactly is preventing him from building his own studio,…
Last month, it was reported that Rep. Thomas Kean (R-NJ) had missed more than 50 roll call votes. Speaker Johnson told ABC News that Rep. Kean is dealing with personal health matters. “I was happy to speak to Tom Kean, Jr. this afternoon by phone. He is attending to a personal health matter and expects to be back to 100% very soon,” Johnson told ABC News last month. “Tom is one of the most dedicated and hardest-working Members of Congress, and I am grateful for all he does and will continue to do to serve New Jerseyans and our country,”…

According to the New Scientist, a 45 kilometer ice shelf in front of the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica — nicknamed the “doomsday glacier” by some for its role as tipping point for the global climate — is about to break away. Satellite imagery shows that the ice shelf is actively breaking away, with major fissures visible…

NYON, Switzerland (AP) – Swiss police are investigating an alleged robbery amid reports that four-time Formula 1 world champion Alain Prost was injured during a home invasion. Swiss tabloid Blick reported late Friday that the 71-year-old Prost sustained a head injury from intruders who forced his son to open a safe during the incident Tuesday morning. “The perpetrators entered the residence while the occupants were present, threatened them, and forced one family member to open a safe before fleeing with the stolen goods,” the public prosecutor’s office said in a statement. “Despite the extensive search operation launched, the perpetrators have…
The Trump administration has released a regulatory reform that could send thousands of green card applicants back to their home countries while their applications are considered. Immigration lawyers said hundreds of thousands of people who have temporary work visas and are seeking green cards could be impacted, according to ABC. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced the change in a news release on its website. The release said that “consistent with long-standing immigration law and immigration court decisions, aliens seeking adjustment of status must do so through consular processing via the Department of State outside of the country.” “Officers are…
Those of us of a certain age — born before about 1970 — have fond memories of the mailman (yes, that’s what we called him, not “postal carrier”) dropping off a pile of letters and cards into the mailbox down the driveway six days a week.

Even most bills are paid electronically, so that mail function is also close…
Disney has reportedly asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to make “The View” exempt from the “Equal Time” requirement that applies to broadcast programs. The “Equal Time” (Equal Opportunities) Rule comes from Section 315 of the Communications Act. It applies only to broadcast stations like traditional over-the-air TV and radio. If a broadcast station lets one legally qualified candidate “use” its airtime during an interview or appearance, it generally must offer comparable opportunities to opposing candidates. This same rule doesn’t apply to “bona fide” news programs as per exemptions that were codified into law by Congress in 1959. In a…
Time magazine is being slammed by social media users over its cover story on controversial Democratic senatorial candidate Graham Platner, a sordid character who, among other things, sported a “Nazi” tattoo. If the Maine oyster farmer is to unseat longtime incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins, he is going to have to overcome his unseemly past statements and character issues, including trashing the police, vulgar sexual takes, and mockery of a wounded U.S. soldier and Purple Heart recipient. The publication is glossing over Platner’s ugly behavior to portray him as the Democrats’ great white hope, a hero who the party is…
On Friday, Obama-appointed Federal Judge Waverly Crenshaw dismissed the human smuggling charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but NBC’s Saturday Today co-host Laura Jarrett simply referred to him as “a federal judge.” Naturally, she also omitted that Crenshaw had donated around $43,000 prior to his appointment. During a quick rundown of the day’s headlines, Jarrett simply declared, “A federal judge in Tennessee now dismissing all criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia on Friday, who became associated with President Trump’s deportation campaign.” Let’s play a game of Name That Party. NBC’s Laura Jarrett reports, “A federal judge in Tennessee now dismissing all…

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey had some revealing thoughts about the infamous preemptive pardons issued by former President Joe Biden: first, that he never asked for one, and that those who accepted them effectively admitted guilt.Comey, who has been indicted twice by a grand jury, made the comments during a May 14 interview on CNN’s The Arena, with clips of the exchange gaining viral attention earlier this week. Comey is facing federal charges in connection with his alleged deadly threat against President Donald Trump. When asked whether he considered asking Biden for a pardon before Trump…
Former FBI Director James Comey was granted a 10-minute-long interview on the PBS News Hour Monday, ostensibly to discuss his new fiction thriller, but mostly to let host Geoff Bennett elicit condemnation of President Trump, in response to Comey’s indictment by the Department of Justice for his infamous, since-deleted 2025 Instagram post composed of seashells on the beach spelling out “86 47”, which could be interpreted as an assassination reference.The PBS anchor cannot consider that this spin can be applied to Trump: that all the lawfare was a punishment for winning the White House — and then for aiming to win…
The Trump administration announced on Friday that, henceforth, temporary visa holders seeking green cards must return to their home countries to finish the process of obtaining green cards. “From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances,” U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) spokesperson Zach Kahler said in a statement. “When aliens apply from their home country, it reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the U.S. illegally after being…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The idea of manually tampering with our atmosphere to combat climate change, such as by seeding clouds with reflective particles to dim the Sun, remains extremely controversial. These acts of geoengineering could deliver us from climate doom, the thinking goes, or backfire spectacularly in ways we never anticipated — which is why scientists are proceeding with caution. But to an extent, something like this is already happening on a global scale. In a new study published in the journal Earth’s Future, researchers warn…
President Donald Trump was merciless with left-wing protesters who interrupted his speech, firing up his audience as he told the hecklers to “Go home to mom!” Interrupted during his remarks at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York, the president stopped his speech multiple times as hecklers were removed by security after disrupting the event. In true Trump style, the commander-in-chief did not let the disturbances go without a comment. “Go home to mom! Go home to mom,” he said after he had been speaking about men competing in women’s sports. “Take him home to Mommy! He’s going to be…
The surprise resignation of Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard to focus on supporting her husband, who is battling cancer, was met by the typical smears and conspiracy theories from the media. On Friday, the nation’s top intelligence official shared her letter to President Donald J. Trump informing him that she would be leaving her position after Abraham Williams’ recent diagnosis with a rare form of bone cancer: “I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle,” she wrote.

All Ezra Jin wanted to do was to preach the gospel. It worked, as the gospel tends to. Unfortunately for the Chinese Communist Party, it worked far too well. See, Jin refused to give the state control over his flock, which the country requires. For a while, they tolerated him and his unsanctioned church. That’s why he’s been jailed since October. It’s also why prominent Western leaders — including President Donald Trump — are telling Xi Jinping to back off. Not that it’s hurting Jin any, eternally speaking. Physically, of course, things are much more grim. But the worst news,…
Newly uncovered evidence strongly suggests the CIA has been quietly tracking outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. According to investigative journalist Catherine Herridge, a CIA investigative unit sent emails to members of Gabbard’s Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG) demanding they come in for questioning. The problem was that while this particular investigative unit “routinely conducts polygraphs and investigations,” this time there didn’t appear to be any valid justification for the requests. (Source: X.com) “The alleged CIA monitoring of the Director’s Initiatives Group was described as tracking ‘every keystroke’ on their government computers and devices,” Herridge reported in a social media…

The end of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” sparked a cryfest on the left and had the Democratic Party mourning the departure of the host. The final episode of the long-running CBS talk show aired this week, marking the end of an era. Despite declining ratings and Colbert regularly alienating half the country with his attacks on President Donald Trump and his supporters, the left saw the show’s demise as political. And they weighed in on social media, where Democrats celebrated the free platform Colbert gave to the political party. Totally normal late night comedy program where a political…
Democrats once again showed their true colors as they attacked Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard following her announced resignation. Gabbard, a former congresswoman representing Hawaii, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, announced she will be leaving the Trump administration to focus on her husband as he battles a bone cancer diagnosis. No sooner had the news made headlines than the vile comments rolled in from Democrats happy to see Gabbard go. “My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem.

For fans of auto racing, the Memorial Day weekend usually brings feelings resembling Christmas. On Sunday, the largest single-day sporting event in the world, the Indianapolis 500, will precede NASCAR’s longest race, the Coca-Cola 600.

(AP) — A Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at another Russian oil terminal overnight, local officials in Russia’s Krasnodar region said Saturday, in what appeared to be the latest attack on Moscow’s vital oil industry. Authorities in the city of Novorossiysk said falling drone debris sparked a fire at an oil terminal, injuring two people, without naming the facility. Russia’s Astra news outlet said Ukrainian drones struck the Sheskharis oil terminal and depot, the terminus for Russian state-controlled pipeline company Transneft’s main oil pipelines in the region.
