Astros vs. Mariners, 9:40 ETPublishedApril 11, 2026 8:00 AM EDT•UpdatedApril 11, 2026 8:00 AM EDTFacebookTwitterEmailCopy LinkAstros vs. Mariners, 9:40 ETBefore the season started, there were only a few divisions that I thought would be pretty easy victories in terms of naming a winner. Now, I’m not saying that anyone won or lost the division after 13 games, but I will say if the season goes anything like how this stretch has gone for teams, I would be dead wrong. The AL West was going to be a two-horse race between the Astros and Mariners, and maybe there would be some…

A 34-year-old former FedEx driver who pleaded guilty to the murder of a little girl outrageously demanded time with his son after his arrest. This past Tuesday, former FedEx driver Tanner Horner pleaded guilty to the capital murder of 7-year-old North Texas girl Athena Strand. As previously reported, Horner abducted Strand from her home on Nov. 30, 2022, after dropping off a Barbie doll package her parents had ordered as a Christmas gift for the now-deceased girl. He later claimed he’d accidentally hit Strand with his truck and panicked. Below is a horrifying, just-released photo showing her on her knees…

Even with the midterm elections just seven months away, the left wing media has been spending more and more time focusing on who might make up the field for the 2028 presidential race, mostly on the Democrat side. On Friday they were handed a gift by Al Sharpton, who welcomed several of those names to a stage at his National Action Network confab in New York City. Among those in attendance was Kamala Harris, who indicated that she may well run again, despite some doubters on the left, doubters who apparently do not include CNN’s John King, who hosted Friday’s…
Ukrainian Navy minesweeper,Chernihiv minesweeper 2012 G1.jpgWikimedia Commons According to the New York Times, Iran has been unable to open the Strait of Hormuz to more shipping traffic because it cannot locate all of the mines it placed in the waterway and cannot remove them, according to US officials. This statement could be true or not. It’s more believable than most of Iran’s statements. They did say last week that they had technical difficulties opening the strait. The carelessly laid mines were the alleged technical difficulties. Iran used small boats to mine the strait last month. It’s almost impossible to track…
Gofl broadcasts are tough, but that’s not the problem viewers have with ESPN.PublishedApril 11, 2026 7:31 AM EDT•UpdatedApril 11, 2026 7:31 AM EDTFacebookTwitterEmailCopy LinkWe’ve got drama at The Masters, and it’s got nothing to do with Rory McIlroy flirting with the course record. Well, scratch that, it does, but not in the way you think. Rory was on a different planet during Friday’s Round 2, specifically on the second nine. Yes, the second nine, not the back nine. That’s a no-no at Augusta, and I’d very much like to NOT be banished from the grounds. Not that I’ve ever been invited. Anyway,…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Since the onset of the AI chatbot boom, tech companies, insurance industry mouthpieces, and healthcare administrators have spun a yarn that introducing AI to healthcare is a surefire way to lower costs for patients. Mario Schlosser, co-founder and chief technical officer of the medical insurer Oscar Health, has stated that AI was the “only way” to reduce the cost of seeing a doctor in the US over the next three to five years.

Trump slanders former MAGA influencers who question the wisdom of his Iran attack. President Trump is demolishing his MAGA base. The megalomaniac turns on the most loyal followers when his ego is tarnished by criticism. Trump attacked several prominent followers recently. Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones were excoriated by Trump for perceived infidelity. All three, according to Trump, have one thing in common, Low IQs. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they…
Viewed from the standpoint of profits and ratings, it would appear that college sports are healthier than ever. In 2025-26, college football generated the largest regular-season audience and largest championship game viewership (30 million) in a decade. And now, CBS and TNT Sports report that Monday’s basketball title game between Michigan and Connecticut attracted the largest audience (20 million) since 2019. Over 60% of adult Americans, including 55% of women, watched or attended college games in the last year, according to a recent survey by George Mason University. And yet, as Marcellus observed in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, something is rotten in…

WASHINGTON, DC — As the U.S. government escalates military conflicts abroad and confronts rising anti-war resistance at home, a broad coalition of civil liberties organizations is warning that dissent itself is being treated as a threat.In asking the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to rehear the case of Mahmoud Khalil—a legal U.S. resident, Columbia University graduate, husband to and father of U.S. citizens—the coalition cautions that the government is claiming the power to jail individuals for their political views while delaying any meaningful or timely judicial review.

According to the findings, 54 percent of workers reported avoiding…
We aren’t going to stop talking about the Epstein scandal. His hidden network extended beyond trafficking into elite-backed eugenics & genetic manipulation efforts. It is satanic. Humanity must know. It seems like these days everyone is asking themselves, “who really is running the world”? The Bible gives a clear answer. And the evidence is becoming overwhelming that the Scriptures are correct.

If any vestige of Republican loyalty remains in the home state of America’s first Republican president, it certainly isn’t to be found in the halls of power. Illinois may have once been the land of Lincoln, but today it’s a Democrat’s dream. Former Cook County Judge James Brown (don’t get excited – he isn’t that James Brown) recently found this out the hard way. Judge Brown was removed by the Illinois Supreme Court for expressing his support for President Donald Trump – while he wasn’t even a judge. Now he’s suing to have that reversed. Can the state fire employees…
According to its own website, March 31 was the last day for A Woman’s Choice of Greensboro to commit abortions. On April 30, the dangerous abortion business will close for good.The Greensboro location is one of five facilities in the AWC abortion chain. In recent years, Operation Rescue has reported on numerous emergencies at AWC facilities, including two emergencies at the soon-to-be shuttered Greensboro location. In both cases of women injured at this facility, city officials refused to release 911 records – public records, by law – and, instead, provided cover for an abortion clinic while women were left to…
Joking about the awfulness and presidential aspirations of Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, Fox News’ Jesse Watters said that Newsom could become “the first woman president.” That came as Watters joked on “The Five” about Newsom’s emotional capacity and the state of the Democratic Party. For reference, Newsom has been suggesting since October that he would potentially enter the presidential primary in 2028, as some polling has shown that he is ahead of his potential Democratic Party rivals and thus could have good chances of winning the race. However, it is unclear if that advantage will dissipate given the massive amount…
Speaking in a powerful press conference from the White House, First Lady Melania Trump shut down media and Democrat lies that have falsely tried to link her to Jeffrey Epstein through his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, claiming that such arguments are outright lies and that the Epstein victims need to get justice by seeing the actual Epstein associates prosecuted. The press conference began on Thursday, April 9, and began with the First Lady sounding off on the lies with a vengeance. She said, furiously obliterating those liars, “The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today.…
Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. had nothing but love for Secretary of State Marco Rubio after he and the State Department escalated the battle for free speech by slapping a ban on several Europeans who are leading campaigns to limit speech through campaigns against so-called “hate” and “misinformation” on social media. The five individuals are not allowed to enter the United States. “Once again, the United States is the mecca for freedom of speech!” Kennedy said in response to the State Department’s announcement concerning the bans. The prohibitions were placed on French former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, Center for Countering…
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) is being labeled a Republican In Name Only (RINO) and a traitor by MAGA supporters and other conservatives after he urged lawmakers to carve out a bipartisan pathway to immigration reform, stating that deporting all undocumented people residing in the country is “not realistic.” Lawler shared his views on a recent episode of ABC News program “This Week.” “We have over 25 million people in this country who are undocumented,” Lawler said during the interview. “You’re not rounding them all up and kicking them out. It’s not realistic.” President Donald Trump made the mass deportation of…
President Donald Trump, a man who has seemingly mastered the art of trolling, recently wisecracked that he might consider running for president of Venezuela after the close of his second term, claiming that he polls higher there than any other politician in the South American country. Predictably, Democrats have had a less than enthusiastic response to the joke. Trump made the remarks during a press conference held on April 6, 2026, which focused on a daring rescue mission of an Air Force officer who had gone missing in Iran after a jet fighter was shot down over the Middle Eastern…
In December 2020, a birth tourism ring was busted on Long Island that proves, according to many conservatives, that this is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed by the current administration’s push for immigration enforcement. Prosecutors on the case revealed that over 100 pregnant women from Turkey came to the U.S. to give birth to babies to ensure they were granted U.S. citizenship. Along with ensuring their children had citizenship, the women also took full advantage of the Medicaid system, pilfering millions of taxpayer dollars in the process. An employee in Smithtown is the one who helped blow…
One of the largest school districts in the U.S. is coming under fire after allegations arose that it allows teachers to decide if parents are sufficiently “supportive” enough to inform them of their child’s wishes to change genders. America First Legal (AFL) filed a formal complaint against Montgomery County Public Schools, located in a suburb of Washington, D.C. The AFL, along with the Departments of Justice and Education, allege that the district has been violating the Constitution through its “Gender Identity in Montgomery County Public Schools” handbook. The AFL also alleges that the school district repeatedly gives staff instructions to…
Speaking during a powerful press conference in which she soundly refuted claims that she had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein or his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, First Lady Melania Trump vowed to take legal action against fake news media personality James Carville over his false claims about her. Specifically, she hammered Carville and a couple of media organizations for what she characterized as being false claims about her and her supposed relationship with Epstein, saying that she and her legal team will take however much action is necessary to protect her reputation and ensure it is upheld in the face…
Despite rumors floating around the internet about his untimely death, Back to the Future actor Michael J. Fox is still alive and kicking. Shockingly, the rumors were given legs thanks to a report published by CNN after it put out a video package called, “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox” on April 8, 2026. However, Fox, who has suffered from Parkinson’s disease since 1991, informed his fans he’s alive and doing fine. “How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?” Fox, 64, stated in a post published on his Threads account. “Do…
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has gone nuclear on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs within the armed forces in an effort to turn the American military into a top-notch fighting machine rather than a social program run by woke zealots, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) went absolutely berserk about it in a recent speech. For reference, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries had his berserk rant about DEI when he spoke at the National Action Network’s National Convention on Thursday, April 9. Particularly, he insisted that, as his office put it, “diversity, equity and inclusion are American values.”…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech A new study by economists at Goldman Sachs has discovered something that should come as no surprise to most workers: losing your job to new technology can seriously mess up your life in ways that will cause ripples of hardship for a long time.

The trio of PBS News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett, The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks, and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart assembled on Friday for one of their more wild weekly news recaps. During their discussion Bennett would ask if there is “no line left” for President Trump to cross and if Trump is benefiting from a media double standard compared to President Biden. Making matters worse was that trio left out key information that would have shed light on both what Trump was actually doing and their own double standards. Bennett began with Brooks, “Last night, President Trump shared…

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that peace talks set to get underway later Saturday in his country were a “make or break” chance to secure a lasting settlement between the U.S. and Iran.The Iranian delegation headed by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of the Iranian parliament, were in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad for peace talks with a U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance. Analysts said Vance’s presence “added weight” to the talks. One key issue appears to be Iran’s control over the key Strait of Hormuz shipping lane. But even as the…
The text message arrived for a last-minute, miniature high school reunion of sorts. Tom, an old friend who had settled out east, was back in town visiting family. He would pop by the house of another high school friend, Nick. Of all those who had been invited, my friend Paul and I, it turned out, were the only ones who could make it that night. Since the last time we had seen Tom was at our 40th high school reunion and since he was only infrequently back in Michigan, we set aside our other plans and made the short trek…
This post is the first installment in a series on immigration, written in collaboration with Arctotherium—with part two coming soon. I am deeply grateful for his support and assistance throughout this project; it has been a genuine pleasure working with him. This series does not emerge in a vacuum. Over the past several years, a growing number of writers—many working outside traditional institutions—have undertaken the difficult work of challenging and dismantling the dominant dogmas surrounding immigration. Much of that work has been scattered across essays, blog posts, and independent research. What follows is an attempt to synthesize that intellectual current. Our goal is…
We were promised an absolute bloodbath. During the 2023 election in Argentina, politicians, academics, journalists, and commentators lined up to denounce populist candidate Javier Milei and his plans for “shock therapy,” symbolized by the chainsaw he had taken to brandishing ominously on the campaign trail while shouting, “¡Viva la libertad, carajo!” (“Long live liberty, damn it!”) Just days before Argentina went to the polls, more than a hundred economists, including superstar Thomas Piketty, published an open letter. They said a win for Milei would “inflict further devastation and social chaos” on a country that was already devastated and in chaos.…
The White House strategy for national cyberdefense is like fighting a land war in Asia. The assumption that deterrence works against the real adversary we will fight is dead wrong — not because our diplomats aren’t clever enough, but because the real enemy can’t be reasoned with, can’t be bargained with, doesn’t feel pain or fear, and absolutely will not stop until it wins (Kyle Reese called it). Ten days after the White House released its cybersecurity strategy, the State Department announced the Bureau of Emerging Threats, a correct directional move. But the underlying doctrine is still trapped in a…

The Iranian regime is once again proving exactly why Americans, and the world, cannot trust a word coming out of Tehran. Just hours before high-stakes peace negotiations with the United States were set to begin in Pakistan, Iran abruptly issued a list of demands, threatening to derail the entire process before it even starts. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf took to X and delivered a blatant ultimatum: the United States must release billions in frozen Iranian assets, and a full ceasefire must take hold in Lebanon before any talks can proceed. Ghalibaf wrote on X: “Two of the measures…
By Ryan Helfenbein, Op-ed contributor Saturday, April 11, 2026triloks/iStockPresident Trump announced a temporary ceasefire on Wednesday with Iran that would last two weeks, the product of intense U.S. military operations under Operation Epic Fury and backroom negotiations involving the Pakistani and Chinese governments, along with the U.S. State Department, Vice President Vance, and numerous other key officials in the Trump administration.The operation began on February 28 when U.S. and Israeli forces launched coordinated pre-emptive strikes against thousands of Iranian military, nuclear, and weapons system targets.But Iran responded, not just with missiles across the Middle East and Europe (one reaching as far as…
The Trump administration released new renderings of a proposed 250-foot triumphal arch Friday, showcasing the president’s most dramatic effort yet to leave his mark on the nation’s capital. Envisioned to help celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, the “Independence Arch” would likewise rise 250 feet above the Memorial Circle roundabout across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial. The arch’s top would bear two eagles as well as a 60-foot golden winged angel, identified by President Donald Trump as Lady Liberty. Large text engraved in gold lettering is derived from the Pledge of Allegiance: facing the Lincoln Memorial…
By Christopher L. Reese, Op-ed contributor Saturday, April 11, 2026Greg Rakozy/Unsplash One of the remarkable scientific discoveries of the past several decades is that the universe and Earth appear fine-tuned for life. Philosopher of science Stephen C. Meyer explains that fine-tuning “refers to the discovery that many properties of the universe fall within extremely narrow and improbable ranges that turn out to be absolutely necessary for complex forms of life … to exist.” It’s important to note that the term fine-tuning/tuned is a neutral description that doesn’t imply the existence of God. It’s a designation routinely used by scientists and scholars of…
