HAVANA (AP) — Eduvirgen Zamora hides her hands out of embarrassment these days.Her nails are down to the quick, except for her thumbs, which feature inch-long talons covered in fancy silver swirls.Unable to afford a new set of nails as Cuba’s economic crises grind on, the 56-year-old cafeteria worker opted instead to do her lashes, a cheaper alternative she hoped would draw people’s attention upward.Severe shortages of water, power and money combined with a U.S energy blockade has deepened poverty and increased hunger across the island as severe blackouts persist.

The New York Times hosted an interview with two communist millennials who condone theft as a moral good because they believe it will hurt the wealthy. NYT culture editor Nadja Spiegelman published the interview Tuesday on “The Opinions” after hosting the discussion with political commentator and left-wing kingmaker Hasan Piker and The New Yorker writer Jia Tolentino. (RELATED: Big Food Smuggles Toxic Agenda Right Under MAHA’s Nose)The interview, Spiegelman said, followed a trend she coined “microlooting,” or the ability of younger Americans to steal a small amount of product from big corporations, laugh it off, and justify it as survival…

Revolutionary War artifacts have reportedly been unearthed at the site of an infamous colonial heist in Pennsylvania. “This is gunflint, used in the period of the Revolutionary War. This is a Dutch coin from the state of New York in 1737,” Clint Flack told WFMZ as he displayed the items in his palm. The artifacts were found by Bucks County Community College Archaeology students, who were on an excavation dig with the Mercer Museum. The soil they dug through was where a prison, courthouse, and treasury building stood during the American Revolution. The dig took place in Newtown, Pennsylvania, roughly 30 miles northeast of…
The Prime Minister paradoxically used the feast day of England’s patron saint to simultaneously insist “unity” is key while ranting about Englishmen he feels betray the multicultural project. Thursday is Saint George’s Day, a feast commemorating the day of the execution of the warrior saint and Christian martyr who through ancient Royal involvement in the Crusades and veneration of his example latterly became the national day of England. The St. George’s Cross and banner also became the symbol and later of England, albeit by a slightly different route as a maritime flag of convenience. While other saint’s days of the…
A missed appearance at a key state hearing has intensified scrutiny surrounding Ilhan Omar, as a Minnesota Republican lawmaker is now formally demanding documents and answers tied to a massive pandemic-era fraud case. According to Fox News, Kristin Robbins, who chairs the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, sent a letter on April 22 criticizing Omar for not showing up to testify before the panel. The hearing focused on issues connected to a federal COVID-19 relief effort and its potential role in enabling widespread fraud. “Minnesotans and the Members of the House Fraud Prevention & State Oversight Committee…
NEW YORK (AP) — HBO Max, “Harry Potter” and CNN may soon find themselves under a new roof: Paramount. That’s because shareholders of Warner Bros. Discovery on Thursday voted to sell the entire business to the company that owns CBS, along with blockbusters like “Top Gun.” Based on a preliminary vote count, Warner shareholders agreed to the proposed $81 billion buyout — valued at nearly $111 billion including debt based on Warner’s current outstanding shares. While the deal still faces regulatory review, the megamerger would vastly reshape Hollywood and the wider media landscape, further consolidating power in an industry already…

The disgraced and now-indicted Southern Poverty Law Center began its descent into partisan madness under the helm of Margaret Huang. Installed at the SPLC as president and CEO in 2020 after co-founder Morris Seligman Dees Jr. was fired, Huang transformed the organization from one that defends civil rights to one that persecutes conservatives and Christians, according to the New York Post. Indeed, her tenure at the SPLC, which finally ended last summer, coincided with the organization “accusing conservative and religious groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom, Moms for Liberty, and the Family Research Council of fomenting ‘hate’ or ‘extremism.’” Moms…

The “Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act” was not a SNAP decision, but one a bipartisan group of senators hopes takes effect. The senators introduced the act, which is intended help Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, recipients use their benefits to buy rotisserie chicken. The amendment would amend the 2008 Food and Nutrition Act. It would to add “hot rotisserie chicken” to those items SNAP participants get, according to a joint statement about the bill from Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-Pa.) office. It would not increase funding or SNAP participant eligibility, or “allow all hot foods to be included for purchase.” Current legislation does…

U.S. President Donald Trump delivers remarks at an ‘Investing in America’ event in Washington on April 30, 2025. Leah Millis/ReutersU.S. President Donald Trump said he believes the Iranian regime is effectively without a leader and is experiencing infighting between two factions because the U.S. military has “total control” of the Strait of Hormuz.“Iran is having a very hard time figuring out who their leader is! They just don’t know! The infighting is between the ‘Hardliners,’ who have been losing BADLY on the battlefield, and the ‘Moderates,’ who are not very moderate at all (but gaining respect!), is CRAZY!” Trump wrote…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech When SpaceX makes it debut on the stock exchange later this year, experts expect it to be the largest public offering in financial history.

It’s also sounding like the financial maneuver will give him an ironclad grip over the resulting empire, which includes xAI and X-formerly-Twitter. According to an…

James Carville threw a tantrum after President Donald Trump called him a “wacko,” describing himself as a “rabbi” while declaring he would debate Trump “anytime.” The veteran Democratic strategist likely landed on the president’s radar after making the case last week for expanding the Supreme Court as well as statehood for Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. On his Politicon podcast on Wednesday, Carville reacted to Trump’s attack on Truth Social in which the president ripped into the 81-year-old and other Democrats as “Country Destroying Sleazebags.” “He attacked me. I said that the idea that the Democrats should do when they…

Mad Max on the High Seas – The Fall of American Naval Power and the Rise of Security Escorts for Sea Transport Introduction I watched a recent Fox News segment where the host gleefully boasted about the U.S. Navy seizing a foreign oil tanker in international waters. To him, it was a victory. To me, it was the moment the mask slipped. The world’s self-proclaimed ‘global policeman’ was exposed as nothing more than a cartoonish thug, a bully operating a protection racket on the high seas [1]. This incident, alongside the utter failure of American naval power to control the Strait…

The American Empire Cannot Defeat Iran, and Doubling Down Only Worsens the Global Energy Catastrophe Introduction The United States has sailed into a hurricane of its own creation. In March 2026, the White House ordered the U.S. Navy to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, a desperate gambit from a commander-in-chief who has just set the Middle East ablaze. [1] I believe this is not a strategic masterstroke but the frantic thrashing of an administration that knows the tide has turned against it. The global energy system has suffered a fatal embolism. Like a tidal wave, the initial shock is…
A major new study finds a woman’s total reproductive lifespan is linked to her long-term cognitive health. Longer exposure to the body’s own estrogen, from a longer span between first period and menopause, is associated with slower cognitive decline. Conversely, the use of menopausal hormone therapy did not show the same protective benefit for brain function. The findings highlight a key biological factor in why women face a disproportionate risk of dementia. Experts suggest the research underscores the need for lifestyle strategies that support hormonal health across the lifespan. For decades, the intricate links between women’s reproductive biology and long-term…
The Coming Storm: Surviving the orchestrated collapse of food, energy and freedom Global supply chains are deliberately fragile, controlled by monopolies (e.g., Cargill) and geopolitical actors who weaponize food and energy shortages. Events like Houthi shipping attacks (2023) reveal how easily disruptions cascade into crises—part of an elite strategy to enforce dependency. Conflicts over water, energy and food are escalating, with China expanding naval dominance and the U.S. facing infrastructure decay. Policies like Israel’s water theft and gas-field control are enabled by media manipulation, diverting attention from domestic corruption (e.g., FDA, Federal Reserve). Adams advocates self-reliance to escape centralized control:…

Israel escalates military aggression with new automated weapons amid fragile ceasefire Israel deploys “Roeh-Yoreh” remote-controlled weapon towers at West Bank checkpoints, escalating oppression with lethal, surveillance-equipped systems previously used in Gaza. Israel prioritizes high-tech warfare (like the Ro’em howitzer on Lebanon’s border) instead of peaceful solutions, destabilizing the region further. The Ro’em howitzer’s deployment during a fragile Lebanon truce risks reigniting conflict, as Israel’s disproportionate strikes (2,300+ Lebanese dead) fuel tensions. The U.S. and UN fail to hold Israel accountable for violations (illegal settlements, collective punishment), enabling continued aggression. The international community must enforce diplomacy, halt militarization of occupied territories,…
Women who consistently met WHO exercise guidelines (150+ mins/week) in their 50s and 60s had ~50% lower risk of premature death compared to inactive peers. The 15-year study used target trial emulation to account for lifestyle factors, proving sustained activity yields the greatest benefits—even for late starters. Regular exercise reduced all-cause mortality, supported heart health, bone density, muscle retention and cognitive function, though cancer/heart-specific links needed larger samples. Caregiving/work often disrupt routines, but small steps (morning workouts, “exercise snacks,” wearables) help maintain consistency (80/20 rule). Starting at 55+ still improved outcomes, but early and sustained activity delivered the strongest protection…
MACAPA, Brazil (AP) — Paving roads in the Amazon rainforest has long brought deforestation that threatens the people who live there. The same roadwork, however, has also allowed archaeologists to get glimpses of the region’s past long before Europeans arrived to reshape it.The construction often requires archaeological surveys before the paving starts, and some of the latest discoveries have emerged along the BR-156 highway in Brazil’s northern state of Amapa. Among the findings so far from nine dig sites: pottery vases that may be funerary urns, as well as small artifacts that resemble human faces.“What we now about the region’s past is also…
The Pentagon on Thursday rejected a report from the Washington Post that indicated it would take six months to clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines.The U.S. Navy has worked to remove mines from the critical waterway amid the ongoing ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, while maintaining a blockade of the Strait.

House GOP leaders are circulating the text among other members, Politico reported, citing unnamed sources, and the bill would extend the spying authority…
A wave of controversial rental listings circulating online has ignited debate in London, where some landlords are advertising rooms exclusively for Muslim tenants — a practice critics say may violate anti-discrimination laws. The listings, shared across platforms including Facebook, Telegram, and Gumtree, included phrases such as “Only for Muslims,” “for 2 Muslim boys or 2 Muslim girls,” and “Muslims preferred,” according to a report by The Telegraph. In one case, a one-bedroom rental was marketed specifically to a “Gujarati Muslim Student,” with the post noting the property was “ready to move [into] now” and located near a mosque. The trend…

Earlier today, I wrote that there may not be a single expenditure, policy, or organization that Democrats promote that is not, in some way, a scam. Sure, with the kind of money they spend, a few pennies may go to a good cause, but the purpose of the things they support is to promote Democrats, spread money around to their friends, or harm Republicans. Everything else is window dressing. Advertisement As for the window dressing: almost all of it is vaporware, anyway. In a way, it is a great example of postmodernism in action.

Houston, a left-wing city, has bent the knee to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott after he threatened cutting $110 million in funding. The drama between Houston and Abbott began earlier this month when the City Council voted to eliminate a policy forcing local police to wait for the arrival of U.S. Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents when dealing with a suspect with an immigration warrant. “An ICE administrative warrant is civil in nature and, alone, does not justify a stop, arrest, or continued detention by local law enforcement, like [the Houston Police Department],” the new policy read, according to local station…
