Brothers merger
Posted By: 4250Luis, 6/13/2026 9:42:53 PM
The Justice Department's Antitrust Division approved Friday the $111 billion merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, clearing a major regulatory hurdle for one of the most watched sales in recent years. The two companies signed the paperwork for the deal in February, which will see Paramount acquire Warner Bros., but it still needs final approval from the Trump administration before it can go through. The Justice Department told Politico that it has conducted an extensive review of the proposed merger and found that it would not stifle competition, despite merging two of the biggest studios in Hollywood and the media.

James Boyard, a senior Haitian government official who oversees key security functions, has been abducted by armed assailants, according to a source cited in an Associated Press report.
Boyard serves as chief of staff for Haiti's Defense Ministry and also holds the position of inspector general within the country's national police force. His apparent kidnapping marks one of the most significant abductions involving a government official in Haiti in recent years.
Gang violence continues to plague the nation, according to reports.
A person with direct knowledge of the case confirmed the incident on Saturday.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been playing hide the ball with the truth about the disastrous and deadly Pacific Palisades fire and the state's culpability in it since it rekindled on Jan. 7, 2025. This week, the governor lost another court maneuver in his attempt to deny Palisades fire victims the ability to sue the the State of California. On Friday, the California Supreme Court denied Newsom administration's latest stall tactic, that would have required yet another "review and request to stay the Palisades Fire Litigation," according to Trey Robertson, who represents 4,000 Palisades victims. If the court had decided differently,

Sami Winc: So, Victor, California polls or the California election results have come in, and I was wondering your thoughts, especially in LA, because there’s been lots of news this week and discussion about two things: dirty voter rolls, and then the New York Post had an article on how Nithya Raman was part and parcel to funding a social services by $600,000, and then they went out and paid or got homeless people and anybody else they could to register at that address.
And so, my question is this: How many social services do you think have done that?

The June 2 gubernatorial race in California has Republican candidate Steve Hilton exceeding pre-election polls and headed to the November general election to face the top Democrat pick, former Biden Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. Politics(Right)
As of this writing 94 percent of the vote has been counted and that tally puts Hilton in the top two, earning 24.8 percent of the vote while Becerra won 28 percent. Pre-election polls had Hilton trailing Becerra by eight points.
When you compare Hilton’s performance to previous Republican attempts to oust a Democrat, the results get interesting.

Back in 2022, then-former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard got blistered for raising concerns that the United States might be funding bio-research labs with dangerous pathogens in foreign countries like war-torn Ukraine.
Republican Mitt Romney – like Gabbard a former presidential candidate – accused her of spreading "treasonous lies" and "Russian propaganda," and many in the news media joined the chorus in a concerted effort to diminish the threat that U.S. tax dollars could one day lead to an accidental virus outbreak from one of those foreign labs.
Four years later, Gabbard turned the tables in epic fashion.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Friday that she is releasing never-before-seen documents concerning the U.S. government funding 120 biolabs in 30 countries, including Ukraine.
"In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] will continue working with partners across the administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what 'research' is being conducted," Gabbard said in X.
There is growing momentum within the Democratic Party to find its next ObamaCare heading into the midterms, as healthcare costs become more untenable and American anger over affordability persists.
Healthcare has consistently ranked as a top issue for voters heading into this year’s midterm elections. June polling from Emerson College found that healthcare ranked in the top five issues for voters, behind the economy, threats to democracy and immigration. The expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits dealt a heavy blow to Democrats in Congress, who carried out the longest government shutdown in history to get a vote on extending the subsidies.
The media have jumped on a recent conference presentation about a breast cancer test. Its results were presented at the ASCO meeting last month and reported as a breakthrough that could spare millions of women chemotherapy.
The actual story is one of massive over-medication of women with toxic drugs and test failure.
The trial of the test
The claim is that the breast cancer test could predict who would benefit from chemotherapy. The truth was that it was good at predicting which women would have a cancer recurrence but it failed at the only useful claim of who would benefit.
Several House Republicans urged Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday to revoke the Southern Poverty Law Center's tax-exempt status in light of allegations the organization funded efforts to fabricate and expand extremist groups.
The letter comes after a federal grand jury in April approved charges against the organization for alleged wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and other offenses.
North Carolina GOP Rep. Mark Harris led the letter to Bessent, claiming the organization is not operating as a nonprofit but as a partisan "left-wing political machine,"
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Knicks owner James Dolan could be forced to bury the hatchet if the team clinches an NBA championship — for potentially the biggest ticker-tape victory parade in New York City’s history.
The Knicks’ instant-classic Game 4 victory Wednesday over the San Antonio Spurs puts the team one win away their first NBA championship in 53 years – and amped up talks about a befitting mega-celebration, insiders said.
Jinxes be damned, officials were said to have met in City Hall on Thursday afternoon to hash out the logistics of a throwing a ticker-tape parade as soon as next week —
As more and more revelations come to the fore about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who just won the Democrat primary this week, many Democrats seem to have adopted a simple mantra regarding his campaign: Vote for the Nazi: It’s important.
The saying echoes a slogan from campaigns past — one that supporters of Republican Sen. Susan Collins, Platner’s opponent in the general election, would do well to employ against Platner. The slogan demonstrates how Democrats will embrace a candidate — any candidate — so long as that person opposes President Trump.

The Karmelo Anthony Problem
21 replies
On April 2, 2025, Karmelo Anthony went to Memorial High School looking for a fight. Though he was participating in a track meet, he felt the need to bring a knife in his backpack. Once at the school, he sat in the tent of the opposing team. When confronted by Austin Metcalf, who told him to leave, Anthony reached into his backpack and said, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf then grabbed Anthony in an attempt to forcibly move him out of the tent. Anthony then used his knife to stab Metcalf in the heart, killing him almost instantly.
Touch me and see what happens. This is the ethos
Hillary Clinton Is Back and Lying Again
19 replies
Disgraced Democrat Hillary Clinton is continuing to perpetuate an old lie pushed by liberals to prevent election security. (X) “They’re trying to kick people off of voter rolls,” Clinton said of Republicans promoting basic election integrity measures. “They’re trying to demand…you know…forms of identification most real people don’t have, and most older people, and most rural people don’t have. They are certainly redistricting to make it difficult to elect black representatives or Latino representatives or Democrats. So, that means that we have to be even more intentional in showing up and voting.”
So most “real people” (whatever that means) don’t have a REAL ID driver’s license or a passport?

President Trump announced the finalized Iran deal is expected Sunday.
"Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement," he wrote on Truth Social.

I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968. I was 14. I enjoyed the visual spectacle—its special effects hold up well today—but hadn’t a clue about its meaning.
I eventually showed it to my Advanced Placement kids in high school. They were used to having all the answers, so I asked them to keep question logs we’d answer after the film. They scribbled furiously and constantly and walked out each day—it’s a long movie—muttering to themselves. Finding out you don’t have all the answers, that you really don’t know it all, is hard—and character building.
After a period in which I answered some questions and left the rest unanswered—they were
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Friday that the United States and Iran have agreed to a framework for the peace deal that would end the months-long conflict in the Middle East.
The confirmation comes amid conflicting reports on the details of the framework and whether it included a ban on Iran developing nuclear weapons.
"Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal," Sharif posted on X. "We can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached"

I just wrote about an internet trend in which racist blacks were filming themselves violently assaulting random whites—they’re not the brightest bunch—and accusing the unwitting victims of having something to do with the jury in Karmelo Anthony’s recent trial; these assaults proved to be very popular with their social media followers.
But that was yesterday, and today is a new day, and in the case of these same blacks, they’ve already got a new trend: they’re using AI to edit themselves into a picture with Austin Metcalf’s grave, making it look as though they’re urinating on it. As I understand, it started with this guy: (Snip) I am running out

Kurt Schlichter's 2024 novel, "The Attack," is an eye-watering what-if scenario of the coming attack on America. The new one will be a 3-day summer attack that will cripple America. The Attack will be a coordinated attack on our government, our infrastructure, and our cyber-capabilities. Why is this novel more worthy than others of our POTUS' attention? Because I believe Schlichter knows things.
"The Attack" is about a highly-coordinated, massive, comprehensive Muslim attack on everything America uses to survive and thrive. Due to the open borders of America and other nations, really, really bad things happened which we are only now seeing.
The new Europe is going to take some getting used to, but at least it’s clear now what it’s going to be like. Populating it will be people who believe that they have a responsibility to carry out the decrees of the creator of the universe, and they believe that among those decrees is a mandate to kill those who do not believe in that creator unless they submit to the hegemony of his law.

Chicago’s South Side has an unusual new neighbour. It is 70-metres tall, dressed in grey granite and largely faceless. Rising from verdant Jackson Park, this mass of stone is capped with a message in tall concrete letters: “You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, because you’re ready to seize what ought to be.” (Snip) This glitch is symptomatic of the Obama Center, a place that’s encumbered with its own contradictions. The lavish US$850-million project stands apart from the surrounding low-income neighbourhoods. It honours a leader whose career began with community organizing, but delivers architecture that
