I guess United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres didn't think his hyping global warming risks brought him enough attention, so now he says, "The era of global boiling has arrived!"

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer notched low favorability among voters in April, according to a poll from The Economist/YouGov released on Wednesday.
The survey found that just 23% of voters held a favorable view of Schumer, while 51% of respondents said they viewed the New York Democrat unfavorably. The poll comes after Schumer faced enormous intraparty backlash over his vote to help advance a GOP spending bill backed by President Donald Trump in March.
Several Democratic lawmakers have notably called for Schumer to step down in recent weeks, including Democratic Maryland Rep. Glenn Ivey and Democratic Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow. Some left-wing youth activist organizations

I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV, so please take it as a non-medical, totally unprofessional diagnosis when I tell you that Taylor Lorenz is a high-functioning sociopath with murder in her heart and CNN's Donie O'Sullivan is one of the many moral cowards in the legacy dinosaur media who enable her.
Lorenz, you might recall, is a semi-anonymous child of wealth and privilege who went on to become a tech and privacy reporter for many of the big media names after having her personal life scrubbed from the internet. Her specialty, even before being virtually fired last year from the Washington Post, is playing
Stephen A. Smith, the fast-talking ESPN “quick take” guru (and occasional beef jerky salesman) is, in a roundabout way, a colleague of Joe Rogan: They’ve appeared together on ESPN’s UFC telecasts.
Rogan, of course, is one of the leading experts in cagefighting. He personally competed in martial arts tournaments throughout his early 20s and was an eyewitness to some of the biggest, most dramatic moments in MMA history. He knows the trainers and the fighters like the back of his (fist); they’re his closest friends.
So when Rogan heard Smith saying something stupid and disrespectful about a UFC fighter, he called him out. Here’s a short,
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has quickly positioned herself as the face of the Democratic Party. If she's not code-switching into being "street" in front of a left-wing audience, she's on cable news or in front of a podium at the Capitol Building trying to make news.
But now, she's got a new audience to contend with: The Federal Election Commission.
According to a new report, the FEC has opened a probe into a donation made to Crockett through the Democratic Party fundraising apparatus ActBlue.
The Federal Election Commission opened an investigation into firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, regarding donations to her 2024 campaign made through ActBlue,
In a age of lightning-fast information and leaks over secrets, it's remarkable how quiet things are on who may have been behind the two known assassination attempts on President Trump last summer, one of which almost succeeded.
We still don't know.
But Byron York at the Washington Examiner thinks the Ukraine angle of Ryan Routh's second attempt in Florida is worth a closer look.
He writes:
It is remarkable how little we know about the two 2024 attempts on President Donald Trump’s life. We don’t know much about Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who shot Trump in the ear during a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Nor do we know much
An immigration judge has ruled that Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil is eligible for deportation under a decades-old federal statute.
Immigration Judge Jamee Comans found that due to his involvement in the pro-Palestinian protests that rocked Columbia University in the waning days of the Biden administration, Khalil’s continued presence in the United States raised “potentially serious foreign policy consequences.”
It’s the latest development surrounding the efforts of Secretary of State Marco Rubio to deport Khalil under the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, which allows the secretary to make the determination
Trump Ends Obama’s ‘War on Showers

There was a time when liberals promised to “get the government out of your bedroom” and then they decided that the government should be in your bathroom instead. And I’m not just talking about the transgender movement which really took off later, but the obsession with controlling every aspect of human life to save the planet.
President Trump ended Obama’s War on Lightbulbs. Now he ended the War on Showers.
Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure and make America’s showers great again.
The Order directs the Secretary of Energy to immediately rescind the overly complicated federal rule that redefined “showerhead”
CNN host Anderson Cooper was hoisted by his own left-wing petard after being schooled by an audience member for misgendering her.
The farcical irony unfolded Tuesday night during a town hall Cooper hosted with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
At one point, Cooper called on a woman in the audience and got scolded on live TV for assuming the lady was female. “I want to introduce Grace Thomas,” Cooper said. “She’s a local civil rights attorney. She’s a Democrat, right?”
An annoyed Thomas shot back: “It’s ‘they/them’ pronouns, actually. Thank you.” An apologetic Cooper stammered in shock, “Oh.” This ridiculous exchange perfectly encapsulates the left’s frivolous obsession with triviality, as the

Did you bet on March Madness?
I did, and many of you did, too. Americans bet billions on NCAA tournaments.
We also "spent $60 billion at casinos last year (and) about $12 billion on online sports betting," notes economist Jason Sorens in my new video.
Sorens published a state-by-state ranking of gambling freedom across America. Nevada lets gambling flourish, while Utah, Hawaii and Georgia ban most of it.
Now some politicians want to ban more.
Philadelphia mayor Cherelle Parker moved to ban arcade-style gambling machines found in gas stations and convenience stores, loftily saying, "It's not OK to tempt our residents ... to gamble away their hard-earned dollars."
Some states ban at-home poker games, occasionally

Middle-class America is rapidly going the way of the dinosaur and the dodo bird.
And California, where mansions and homeless people abound, is the template Democrats want to bring to America as a whole.
Because it suits their needs. Big money donors and poor people in crisis who think they need ‘compassionate’ Democrats’ help.
The ‘American Dream’ was that any normal person who worked hard and saved could have a house and a relatively comfortable — and meaningful — life, expecting to live better and longer than their parents did. That dream has turned into a pipe dream for many.
Why? Political leaders from both parties have presided over the extinction of manufacturing
Another Dem-Manufactured ‘Gate’ Scandal

The desperate Dems, pole-axed by Trump’s fast start on his second term, have revved up their TDS Rube Goldberg scandal machine. The so-called SignalGate affair is being vigorously flogged, with the usual help from Republican Fifth Columnists. But the “-gate” suffix doesn’t mean what the Democrats think it does.
Recently, a group meeting including Trump, Vice President Vance, Def Sec Peter Hegseth, and other defense and national security officials, convened to discuss a punitive attack on Yemen’s Houthi terrorists, and inadvertently included Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, best known for his inveterate, hysterical hatred of Donald Trump, and his eager peddling of the preposterous Russia hoax.

Embattled New York Attorney General Letitia James is hitting up supporters for big bucks just days after the Trump administration accused her of alleged fraud involving several homes she owns.
The money bid is in the form of an invitation to an event on Tuesday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. calling for contributions starting at $500 and climbing to an eye-popping $18,000, the maximum allowed by New York law, in support of her 2026 re-election bid.
The invite features a photo of James framed by a circular gay pride flag. (Photo) The high-dollar fundraiser will be hosted at the home of left-wing activists Rod Grozier and Rob Smith, the latter of whom

Over Holy Week Processions, Claim They
“Offend Islam” 28 replies
A group of British Muslims of Iranian origin, led by Anjem Choudary, is threatening to file a lawsuit before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
They allege that Spain's traditional Holy Week processions are an “offense to Islam” and to the Prophet Muhammad, demanding their immediate ban.
The Muslim group intends to sue Spain in Strasbourg over these Catholic processions, with Choudary arguing that these religious events, rooted in Catholic tradition since 1978, are a “provocation” against Muslims.
Rosie O’Donnell said she never thought President Donald Trump would win another election, and lamented over her Irish citizenship application having not yet been approved.
“I never thought he would win again,” O’Donnell told the New York Times of President Trump, adding that she told her therapist, “If he does [win], I’m going to move,” recalling that her therapist had replied, “Well, let’s make a real plan.”
Now, O’Donnell may feel herself losing to Trump in another roundabout way, as her Irish citizenship has not yet been officially approved, the comedian told the newspaper, adding that she was worried about admitting that to a reporter, fearing it could impact the process.
Houseguests and fish begin to smell after three days, as the saying goes. But ex-presidents who stay in Washington, D.C., reek almost immediately.
In the history of the republic, former presidents have had the decency to get out of town rather than loom over their successor. The two exceptions appear to be Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama. Wilson, however, has the excuse that he was practically bedridden and expired within three years. Obama has no excuse at all.

margaritas' with deported illegal in El Salvador 18 replies
The Democrat senator who traveled to El Salvador to meet with a deported illegal migrant and alleged MS-13 member was seen drinking what appeared to be margaritas, infuriating many online.
Chris Van Hollen, the junior senator from Maryland, met Thursday in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation.
But it was his decision to sip margaritas with Abrego Garcia, as El Salvador´s President Nayib Bukele put it, that caused a wave of outrage.

You might have thought that Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) would be back by now after he got rejected from seeing or talking with El Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador.
That would have been smart. But he appears to still be there and still grandstanding. After being told bluntly by the Central American nation's vice president that the senator wasn't going to be able to get in to see Garcia at CECOT, it looks like Van Hollen decided to go there anyway to try to get in.
It didn't go well. He says he was stopped by soldiers.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama was spotted in Los Angeles on Thursday without her husband former President Barack Obama, amid rumors of marital strife between the two.
But former first lady seemingly sent a signal to skeptics of her relationship as she proudly wore her diamond engagement and wedding rings as she visited The Academy headquarters in North Hollywood.
However, her husband Barack Obama was nowhere to be seen as she made a public outing with her brother and new podcast cohost Craig Robinson.
It’s not just Biden family artwork that’s struggling to sell these days.
Former President Joe Biden’s attempt to bill $300,000 per speaking appearance is finding few takers, The Post has learned — as some of his own former aides say it’s time for the 82-year-old to leave the spotlight for good after reminiscing about “colored kids” Tuesday in his first public address since leaving office.
A source familiar with Biden’s faltering speaking career said that the 46th president’s standard pitch is $300,000 — 25% below Barack Obama’s $400,000 asking price upon leaving office in 2017.
It’s unclear how negotiable Biden’s rate is.
Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has called on “Americans of conscience” to stand against the deportation of MS-13 gang member and illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Abrego Garcia, of El Salvador, was deported on March 15, 2025, to his home country’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). He had been illegally living in Maryland for nearly 15 years.
In May 2021, Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, was granted a temporary protective order against him after she alleged he was subjecting her to domestic violence — including beating, scratching, and punching her.
New York— An emotional former opinion page editor for The New York Times delivered a tearful apology Thursday to Sarah Palin as he testified about a 2017 editorial that she says damaged her reputation.
James Bennet testified that he “blew it” when he erroneously wrote that the former Alaska governor’s political action committee had contributed to an atmosphere of violence before a member of Congress was severely wounded in a 2011 mass shooting in Arizona.
The Times has acknowledged the editorial was inaccurate but said it quickly corrected the “honest mistake.”
Bennet got choked up and teary as he apologized to the onetime Republican vice presidential candidate,
I don't know who thinks it's a good idea that Joe Biden wants to come " back" and get more involved again. You would think his handlers would have sense and just say "Enough" and time for retirement. We're already seeing how badly the "coming back" is working out: making weird remarks about "colored kids," confusing Ukraine and Iraq, and even dropping his ice cream on the ground.But if you thought that was already nuts, you ain't heard nothing yet. Guess how much Joe Biden (or his handlers) wants you to pay him if you book him to make a speech and stumble through a few remarks?
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) has endorsed Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s (D-MD) trip to El Salvador to ensure that an accused MS-13 gang member illegal alien is “brought back home to Maryland” after he was deported in March.
Instead of doing the job his constituents elected him to do in Washington, DC, the left-wing senator has taken time off to go on a trip to El Salvador “to discuss the release” of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who illegally entered the United States and lived in Maryland until his arrest by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE):
