Earlier this week, we told you how a gay cruise operated by Atlantis Events was denied docking in Turkey precisely because the passengers are gay men. The cruise, which left from Athens on July 5, said it would dock in Cairo, Egypt, instead.
There's just one problem: Egypt denied them, too. (snip) The Scarlet Lady's 2,000 passengers, including the Broadway performer Patti LuPone, woke on Thursday morning to find a note placed under their cabin doors informing them that the ship was urgently looking for alternative ports.
'Early this morning, we were informed that Scarlet Lady has been denied entry into Egyptian waters,

The US unleashed its military might on Iran after the regime attacked a commercial vessel and declared the Strait of Hormuz closed Saturday.
“Iran made a poor choice. Now they pay,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted on X.
The Islamic Republic attacked the M/V GFS Galaxy, a container vessel flying the flag of Cyprus, according to United States Central Command. A civilian crew member from the ship is now missing and the vessel suffered significant engine room damage in the strikes, CENTCOM added.
The agency vowed that Tehran would pay a “heavy cost” and said that the retaliation,

Under the leadership of President Donald Trump and Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the Department of Homeland Security will launch a new “deportation airline” in order to carry out deportation flights on a round-the-clock basis. In order to carry out the monumental task of mass deportations, DHS has procured a fleet of two Gulfstream 550s and six Boeing 737-700s at the cost of $140 million. The government fleet will allow for DHS to have autonomy in carrying out their own deportation logistics rather than having to rely on chartered flight with independent contractors.
The news of the new fleet comes as ICE has surged their arrest and deportation operations.

Two teenage boys who identify as girls withdrew their lawsuit in New Hampshire following a Supreme Court ruling that upheld state bans on boys competing in girls' sports.
Parker Tirrell and Iris Turmelle filed lawsuits against New Hampshire's ban on males competing on female sports teams, and in 2024, they amended their complaint to include a challenge to Trump's executive order last year that aimed to protect females from having to compete against males in sports, the Associated Press reported.
A federal judge had granted a court order that allowed the boys to compete against girls while the case proceeded.

I bet Gaza could use the tourist dollars, and apparently a lot of the aid money was looted by Hamas, and fancy nightclubs are springing up on the Strip.
That was my first thought when I read that the Egyptians had followed the Turkish example of denying entry to the Virgin cruise ship hosting a gay-themed cruise. [snip for X]
What were they thinking, scheduling a gay cruise to visit Muslim countries? It's not that Egypt or Turkey is exactly a craphole—both have been centers of civilization at times, and neither is crushingly poor in the way that Conan O'Brien's and Anderson Cooper's favorite vacation destination, Haiti, is.

A judge's ruling pushing back a decision over whether to send Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson to trial has sparked frustration and scrutiny.
After five days of pre-trial probable cause hearings, Utah District Judge Tony Graf said he will wait to make his decision on whether Tyler Robinson will face trial until September 1.
Many observers had anticipated Graf would make his ruling on Friday at the conclusion of the final hearing - with Kirk's widow Erika issuing a legal filing soon after urging Graf to come to a 'prompt' decision due to the 'overwhelming evidence.

The Trump administration subpoenaed several New York Times reporters on Friday following the news outlet's recent reporting on security issues involving the newly commissioned Air Force One, according to the Times.
The aircraft, which President Donald Trump accepted as a gift from Qatar, entered service last week and has already been used for official travel.
According to the newspaper, the subpoenas require the journalists to appear before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday. The Times said federal agents personally delivered some of the subpoenas to reporters at their homes.

A massive bull bison tossed a tourist into the air, seriously injuring him, in a heart-pounding caught-on-camera attack at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Video shows the unidentified man being thrown 8 feet in the air like a ragdoll by the wild bison at the Bridge Bay Campground Friday, Cowboy State Daily reported. The tourist was walking with his grandson when the powerful herbivore attacked. Video shows the man running around a copse of pines to try to escape the bull, which was giving itself a dust bath moments earlier. The bison suddenly charged the two tourists, and then viciously

Nearly $15,000 has been raised for a conductor on the historic Incline Railway in Chattanooga, Tennessee, who was fired after delivering a patriotic message to passengers on Independence Day.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Jack Peterson, who worked as a conductor for the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA), which operates the Incline Railway, made the comments during a July 4 ride.
In a statement captured on video, which went viral on social media, Peterson wished “the very, very few Americans” on board a happy Independence Day.
He added, “To the rest of you, welcome to the greatest country on the face of the planet, and if you disagree, you can leave.”

The primary agent noticed the driver was extremely nervous during the initial immigration inspection. The driver volunteered he was hauling produce in a non-refrigerated trailer and the primary agent directed the truck to the x- ray area for scanning.
The tractor trailer traveled northbound driving by the backscatter truck without being scanned. Responding quickly, an agent located the tractor and conducted a traffic stop. When the agent broke the seal on the trailer and opened the door,

The country of Canada has effectively apologized for the system of national parks that it has developed, with the national parks agency saying that the existence of the parks themselves represents "colonial injustice" against those who are Indigenous.
The internal report known as the Evaluation of the Indigenous Guardians Initiative Internal Review, stated, “For millennia Indigenous people have cultivated reciprocal relationships with land, water and ice guided by cultural practices, values and knowledge systems," as reported by the Toronto Sun.
"Beginning in the 19th century the development of national parks and protected areas in Canada disrupted these relationships through exclusion and colonial injustices,"
