The first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday evening from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, produced its share of winners and losers. Judging by reactions from fans and others, the ESPN broadcast of the event fell squarely into the latter category. Throughout the night, viewers took to the social media platform X to complain about what one NFL analyst called an “absolutely embarrassing display” from the NFL and one of its major broadcast partners. X users cited as troublesome the NFL’s decision to shorten the time between picks from 10 minutes to eight minutes. On the face of it, of course, the…

On CNN International and later on PBS, Tehran-raised Christiane Amanpour demonstrated she was very enamored of Trump-hating Yale history professor Timothy Snyder’s phrase “superpower suicide” to explain what Trump is doing in the foreign policy arena. Funny, I thought giving pallets of cash to a “Death To America” Islamist regime so they could build nuclear weapons looked more like suicide. Here’s how Amanpour set it up: AMANPOUR: And so is such a walloping row between American president and a Pope, in this case, an American Pope, Leo. And this is also very unusual. There have obviously been disagreements between world…

One of the most enlightening things about the former Elite Media, allegedly straight news anchors starting their own podcasts and Substacks, is being able to see what they truly think, and nobody has been exposed quite like former CNN host Jim Acosta and former CBS and NBC anchor Katie Couric. On the former’s Friday show, the pair teamed up to urge reporters to be prepared to “walk the fuck out” of Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner in protest of President Trump. Couric claimed, “I feel like journalists who are, should be getting hazardous duty pay for putting up with so…
By Brandon Showalter, Opinion writer and social commentator Saturday, April 25, 2026Repentance from sin plus faith in Christ equals a new life. | PixabayThe Evangelical Christian church in the United States is undergoing one of the most thorough and sobering seasons of exposure and cleansing that I have ever seen. This has been percolating for some time, but in recent months and years, the scope of the exposures has substantially increased. The cleansing is across several denominations and expressions, in churches large and small. Much of the current exposure is due to social media and independent investigative podcasters with large online followings.…

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Russian drone and missile strikes on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro killed at least five people and wounded 34, local authorities said Saturday. The bodies of four people were found in the ruins of a house destroyed in overnight attacks, Dnipropetrovsk regional head Oleksandr Hanzha said. “The Russians have been hitting Dnipro and other cities and communities practically all night,” Hanzha wrote on Telegram of the attacks, which caused fires to break out across Dnipro and partially destroyed several apartment buildings, businesses and a private house, wounding 27 people. Another person was killed in a separate…

Marc Thiessen demands Iranian leaders be slain if they refuse to capitulate. On Thursday, the mentally compromised president of the United States reposted Marc Thiessen’s suggestion for ending the war with Iran. “If there are two factions in Iran, one that wants a deal and one that doesn’t, let’s kill the ones who don’t want a deal,” Thiessen wrote. This “solution” to the war against Iran started by Trump and Bibi Netanyahu is to murder more people, Thiessen told Fox News. The neocon wants to murder only certain Iranian leaders, while Trump earlier posted his desire to mass murder everyone in Iran,…

By Hedieh Mirahmadi, Exclusive Columnist Saturday, April 25, 2026The headquarters of the Southern Poverty Law Center established in 1971. | Getty ImagesFor decades, the Southern Poverty Law Center has presented itself as a moral watchdog, an institution that claims to identify and expose extremism in American life. It has positioned itself as a defender of justice, a guardian against hate, and a trusted authority for media, corporations, and even government agencies. That reputation has given it extraordinary influence over public perception. It has also allowed it to shape narratives that carry real consequences for individuals, ministries, and entire movements.What happens…

Many years ago, following the initiation of Agenda 21 in 1992, many warned of its various threats, one being that it promoted the concept of “stack & pack” housing. This type of housing need was based on the idea that it would protect the planet through less land use, which could then be protected from human habitation. Agenda 21, Chapter 7, Promoting Sustainable Human Settlement Development, outlined this change in housing and other needed transformations, which included having services within walking or biking distance, and use of mass transportation. All of this would lessen the need for cars, which would again,…

Newsmax host Greg Kelly criticized Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Friday over the firing of Secretary of the Navy John Phelan. Phelan’s immediate departure from the administration was announced Wednesday, with Undersecretary of the Navy Hung Cao stepping in as acting secretary. Kelly accused Hegseth of having “lied and conned” his way through life in a Friday X post. “What a DESPICABLE guy Hegseth is. Frustrated that he can’t remove his Real Nemesis, the Army Secretary, He Fires the NAVY Secretary, has him ‘walked out of the building’ by security. But this was NOT an Urgent matter,” Kelly posted. “Could have…

The administration figures Cuba will be an easier nut to crack than Iran. The Trump administration has declared a two-week deadline on Cuba to release two “high-profile” prisoners, Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara and Maykel Castillo Pérez (aka Maykel Osorbo), described as dissident artists from the San Isidro movement (Movimiento San Isidro, MSI). Alcántara is described as a performance artist from the El Cerro neighborhood of Havana, while Pérez is known as a musician and author of Patria y Vida (Homeland and Life), a work described as a rallying cry for Cuban dissidents. “With provocative performances that have seen its most prominent figures parade through…

Grammy-winning artist Pink, who peddles pro-abortion propaganda from Planned Parenthood at her concerts and once told her pro-life fans, “Please in the name of your Lord, never f—ing listen to my music again,” was given a “Champion of Change” award by Planned Parenthood of Greater New York at their annual fundraising “Spring into Action” gala last week. Many well-known celebrities attended the cringeworthy celebration of death (which pro-life advocacy group Students for Life deemed “…straight from The Hunger Games” ) including Natasha Lyonne, Maude Apatow, and Patricia Arquette. Arquette was also listed as an “Honorary Committee” member for the murder…
For as long as anyone can remember, pundits and pollsters have furiously weighed in with analysis and predictions on upcoming presidential elections. Of course, even though some will occasionally hit the mark, projecting election outcomes is the product of imperfect humans with their inherent flaws, subjectivity, and biases. So, as we dive headfirst into the age of artificial intelligence (AI), it is time to ask whether robots might be more capable than people of accurately forecasting the outcome of a presidential race encompassing a vast array of issues and the whims of 150 million voters in 50 states and DC.…

The discussion began with the Iran–U.S.–Israel conflict, which has introduced significant volatility across global markets. While many expected a strong safe-haven surge in gold and…
During his closing monologue on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that there already is a lot of socialism and taxation of the rich in the U.S., but it’s not really helping. Maher began by saying, “I paid, to the government, if you add in state tax, local, sales, property, fees, Obamacare, probably almost 60% of what I earned. That’s a lot, and I still wouldn’t mind, if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.” He then joked, “And while I’m sure the super rich, with their army of accountants and…
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) stated that the issue for Democrats isn’t messaging, it’s “a results problem.” Moore said, “Democrats don’t have a messaging problem, we have a results problem. There’s a results problem, when we are turning around and not producing the kind of results with the kind of speed that is necessary and required. And you know who exploited that beautifully? Donald Trump. Because Donald Trump was a fantastic vessel for the frustration, right? He points things out like nobody else’s business. He’s just not a vehicle for the solution. Donald…
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that while the right has strayed away from the educational purpose of schools in certain areas, there is also “lots of leftist indoctrination in schools.” While discussing putting the Ten Commandments in schools, Maher said it appears to him to be “such a clear case, that you shouldn’t have the Ten Commandments in the school. The school is just for learning, it should be.” He continued, “Now, obviously, the left has f*cked that up, too. There’s lots of leftist indoctrination in schools. So, both sides. But this one seems…
Reporters outside the White House pressed President Donald Trump for an answer as to why he’s currently beefing with Pope Leo XIV, asking him rather pointedly, “Why are you fighting with the pope?” As you might expect, the answer Trump gave was pure gold. The question was asked by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, who is known for being heavily critical of the president. Over the course of the last several weeks, President Trump has repeatedly ripped into the head of the Catholic Church on his Truth Social account, after Pope Leo seemingly condemned the war in Iran and the threat…
Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs tap danced around questions concerning fellow Democratic Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego’s response — which many found lacking — to misconduct allegations against former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA). Gallego, who in the past has been described as Swalwell’s “best friend,” denied having any prior knowledge concerning the sexually deviant acts Swalwell has been accused of, despite their lengthy friendship. During a recent interview with NBC 12 News located in the city of Phoenix, reporter Brahm Resnik pressed Hobbs several times on whether she believed Gallego’s explanation for why he allegedly knew nothing about his best pal’s…
FBI Director Kash Patel sat down for an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on her “Sunday Morning Futures” program where he stated that he was ready to file a lawsuit against The Atlantic for an article it published concerning his alleged performance during his time leading the federal law enforcement agency. The Atlantic, a well-known leftist publication, put out an article claiming Patel was engaging in “bouts of excessive drinking” that reached a level concerning to Trump administration officials. Bartiromo asked Patel whether the claims made in the article were accurate, which led to him delivering a fiery…
Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker sat down for an interview with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, where she questioned him about whether his faith in democratic socialism has been shaken now that the Big Apple is facing a massive $5.4 billion budget shortfall. Mamdani answered in the negative, stating that he hasn’t lost a bit of his faith in his ideology, despite the challenges his city is facing. “Now that you’ve bumped up against the hard realities of a $5.4 billion budget shortfall and the other red tape that you have to go through, do you still believe in…
Speaking in a hugely important video he posted to X, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) revealed how RINOs like Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are lying to their voters about the SAVE America Act in their claims that it can be passed via reconciliation, and thus misleading Republicans in a way that could cost the GOP the ability to get the bill passed at all. For reference, Sen. Lee has remained a prominent proponent of the SAVE America Act, highlighting the ways in which it is a much-needed piece of legislation, and that the GOP…
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent fired off an epic comeback at Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) on April 22, 2026, after Van Hollen accused him of allowing rich folk to dodge their taxes. Van Hollen made his accusation during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, accusing Bessent of mishandling the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by slashing the number of staff members who work for the agency. Van Hollen then attempted to make the case that this has negatively impacted the IRS’s delivery service. Bessent, taking a move out of President Donald Trump’s playbook, decided not to take the accusation lying down, firing…
An absolutely awesome broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “The Faulkner Focus” revealed that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is facing a new investigation as legislators pry into her alleged links to Somali migrant fraudsters in her state as questions continue to swirl about her financial disclosures.

Speaking to Fox News Channel’s Martha MacCallum, Sen. John Thune (R-SD), the Senate Majority Leader, revealed how he is trying to ensure that a notorious and much-disliked RINO senator wins the tough primary race he is facing, a move that many watchers saw as being an utter betrayal of his voter base. For reference, the senator and primary race involved is that of Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), the incumbent who is in a slog of a fight against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton is very much regarded as the MAGA candidate, and Cornyn as the Establishment, RINO candidate. Trump…
Leftists are perturbed because President Donald Trump, after years of boycotting the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, will attend the charity event tonight (April 25). It will be his first appearance at the black-tie spectacle since his presidential career began. Outraged media figures have discussed all week how to respond to his presence. Some urged journalists to protest and wrote angry social media posts while ostensibly planning for the sky to fall. The backlash was as predictable as the hypocrisy.

More than half of these posts included the word “white,” reflecting Musk’s obsession with the racist myth that white people are being “replaced.” “Whites are a rapidly dying…
Eating a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is a good thing, right? It’s part of a healthy diet that is supposed to help fight against diseases. However, a new study found that eating this way could actually increase non-smokers’ chances of developing lung cancer. Lung Cancer in Younger Non-Smokers Lung cancer doesn’t just strike people who smoke; it can assault anyone at any time. Usually, the average age for a diagnosis is 70. If a person is determined to have the disease before the age of 50, it is considered young-onset lung cancer. Science and medicine…
Former CNN and current NewsNation host Chris Cuomo traveled over to HBO and Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday, where he alleged that no prior president has done “more absurd bullshit” than President Trump. However, not only did Cuomo prove to have the memory of a goldfish, but he also misrepresented the allegations against the Southern Poverty Law Center in order to make his point. Cuomo confidently declared, “He is doing more absurd bullshit as president of the United States than we have ever seen before. We have never had a president even think about, ‘You know what I’m…

It wasn’t a political story so much as The Adoration of the Bayh Child with the three Magi all wrapped into one Politico national political correspondent by the name of Adam Wren, who’s based in Indiana. His article on Friday was “Can a Democratic Dynasty Survive in This Red State?” The subtitle even casts young Bayh in the role of potential political savior for the Democrats: “A race for statewide office in Indiana could chart the way forward for national Democrats.” This is a beatification of Bayh, a big bowl of fluff. It starts with a jog: “How else would a…
It is never a good idea to use the internet for purposes of self-diagnosis.

Still, you only live once, so—“Cowabunga!” It was during a public policy seminar that I first heard of the burgeoning pandemic of “news avoidance.” The term referred to a growing number of Americans who felt so utterly inundated…
With President Trump embroiled in a nasty argument with Pope Leo XIV—one that, unfortunately, could have bad consequences for Trump, who relied on Catholic voters to win key swing states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in 2024—it seemed things couldn’t get much worse. Trump had just posted a long rant on Truth Social in which he called the pontiff “WEAK” and “terrible” and basically a loser who should keep his nose out of things he doesn’t understand, like “setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History.” But then things did get worse. President Trump posted…
A dispatch from Berlin Germany is not, in the first place, suffering from an economic crisis, an energy crisis, a migration crisis, or a crisis of state. Germany is suffering, chiefly, from a crisis of its elites. More precisely, Germany is suffering from a crisis brought on by that milieu, which regards itself as the country’s morally, intellectually, and administratively legitimate leadership class but which has, for years, sustained a regime of reality-avoidance, self-congratulation, and rhetorical substitutes for genuine action. The misery of our situation is not that mistakes have been made. Mistakes are part of politics. The real misery…
