If historical revisionism were an addiction, the pompous charlatans in left-wing media would all be institutionalized. The New Republic Editor Michael Tomasky came out with a bumptious screed lecturing Americans for not voting the correct way in his view: “When Will Americans Realize the Truth? Republicans Wreck the Economy.” Yes, he actually wrote that with a straight face and treated the 4 years of inflationary disaster under President Joe Biden as if they didn’t exist. Tomasky doubled down on making himself look completely foolish by selling blue pills as if they were red pills: “Will 2026 finally be the year…

Not long after Janet Mills withdrew from the Senate primary in Maine, rumors swirled that the GOP had built an extensive oppo research file on Graham Platner. By that time, Platner’s Totenkopf tattoo had been exposed months earlier, but his radical-progressive agenda got the Obama Bros arguing that all veterans went through a Nazi phase (for eighteen years?) and that we all needed to put his death-camp symbology in proper context. Supposedly, though, what would come next would sink Platner for good. Advertisement Well, maybe in a rational Democrat Party, it might. A rational Democrat Party wouldn’t have allowed Platner…
Fresh off of endorsing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the MAGA favorite, to replace incumbent RINO Senator John Cornyn in the Texas GOP Senate runoff election, Trump is already taking aim at the Democratic Nominee in the race and shrugging off Senate leadership.

While departing Washington, DC, to deliver remarks at the US Coast Guard Academy on Wednesday, Trump boasted about his endorsed candidates’ wins in yesterday’s primary elections across six states before highlighting his latest endorsement of Paxton for the Senate.…

Smart kitchen appliances have spent the last decade adding more technology and hoping consumers figure it out. The result has been unused touchscreen refrigerators and countertop gadgets that need apps just to boil water. Toshiba takes a different approach with the TOSHIBA OriginTaste Rice Cooker 5.5-Cup Uncooked, focusing on practical automation rather than novelty. With roots in Japan’s first automatic rice cooker in 1955, the company’s goal is simple: make rice turn out right at home without requiring attention, timing, or skill. Unlike many “smart” appliances, the OriginTaste focuses on removing friction rather than adding features. It offers 15 cooking…

Via ccnull.de New government data out of Germany is fueling fierce debate, as figures reveal that the country’s most popular opposition party—the right-wing anti-globalist Alternative for Germany (AfD)—has become the primary target of political violence, raising serious questions about the state of democracy in Europe’s largest economy. According to official statistics, reported on by several German outlets, nearly two-thirds of all violent attacks against politicians in 2025 were directed at members of Alternative for Germany (AfD), a party that has surged in popularity in recent months. The numbers are stark. Out of 183 recorded violent attacks against political figures, 121…
Coffee shop prices are starting to feel less like a small luxury and more like a monthly subscription nobody signed up for. With specialty drinks regularly pushing past $7 in major cities, many coffee drinkers are reconsidering how often they order lattes, cappuccinos, and cold brews outside the house.

President Trump and his administration have regularly maintained that America winning the AI race is a “national security imperative” and that it must do “whatever it takes” to beat Red China in the competition for AI dominance. “We are beating China by a lot [in AI] because I allowed these plants to be built,” Trump recently said of his efforts to help Big Tech firms power their resource-sucking data centers with their own plants. “These companies build their own electric units now, they don’t use the grid at all.

Founded by Ben Walker, his transcription service stands out from its peers for its ability to provide transparency and authenticity in its transcriptions.

Each of these came with its own drawbacks: hiring a notetaker could be costly and inefficient, while taking notes for yourself could potentially lead to you not being as engaged in the actual meeting because you’re too worried about getting all the pertinent information jotted down.…

The Qinzhou, the second Type 054B frigate of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy. Photo: Screenshot from the military channel of CCTV News Beijing is heralding its new Type 054B guided-missile frigate as a generational leap that brings the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy closer to parity with the United States. The evidence does not support that claim. The 054B is a genuine and incremental improvement over its predecessor, relevant within China’s near-seas operational envelope, but it does little to close the overall naval gap with the United States and does not alter the strategic balance.

The president’s Anti-Weaponization Fund prompted the latest unhinged commentary from a Grammy Award-winning musician known for woke politics.

A top reporter on the right has alleged that the San Diego mosque shooters were a young transgender couple, but the evidence is limited. On Monday, two shooters identified as “teenage gunmen” entered the Islamic Center of San Diego and opened fire, killing a security guard and two staff members before committing suicide. The two “teens” have since been outed as 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Velasquez, according to the New York Post.

Online writings linked to the gunmen in Monday’s deadly California mosque shooting show broad hatred for humanity that crossed political lines.

The Trump administration is suing Minnesota over the state’s ban on betting markets, contending that regulating such entities is the purview of the federal government and not the states.Betting markets, increasingly called “prediction markets,” have achieved national ubiquity since the 2024 election, when major sites such as Polymarket proffered themselves as viable alternatives to public polling.
