@Variety Why the presser? She can’t just show up at an event with a girlfriend? Is she not getting enough attention? Is that what this is about?

Hayden Panettiere comes out as bisexual at 36 years old and says she previously feared "public opinion" in Hollywood and "what my team was going to think about it." “No one ever encouraged me to just be myself, and there was a period of time where it felt like people coming out, especially women coming out, was a fad,” Panettiere told US Weekly, noting she was “afraid” that she’d appear like she was “jumping on the bandwagon” if she were to come out as bisexual. “It was just never the right time, and it was a very difficult topic to articulate properly… it’s sad that I had to wait till I was 36 years old to share that part of me, but better late than never, right?... It was always scary, because my life, I mean, there were paparazzi always outside, waiting for me outside, to follow me everywhere. I had very little privacy, and I mean, I have dated women. It started at a very, very young age.” variety.com/2026/film/news…

Absolutely horrific story out of North Carolina… Isabella Mary Alexander Stroupe, 19, was brutally R*PED and M*RDERED The suspect? Thomaz Hamilton, a career criminal with a history of arrests. We shouldn’t have to live like this! Why does this keep happening??? Will the media cover this story??

Former software engineer at Apple is whistleblowing She says whenever Apple launches a new phone, they would push an update to older iPhones with malware to slow them down. This pushes people to upgrade “I used to be a software engineer at Apple, and with every new phone that was released, malware was installed on the older phones to make you have to update, so your phone's not just glitching. It's doing that on purpose. Share before it's deleted” She’s telling the truth, this was proven in court The 2017 “Batterygate” scandal, where Apple was caught deliberately slowing down older iPhones through software updates Apple was caught red handed doing this they even admitted it in court Apple released iOS updates that intentionally throttled and reduced CPU performance. This caused phones to feel slower, glitchy and laggy Apple’s stated reason: To prevent unexpected shutdowns caused by aging lithium-ion batteries

🚨 OH. MY. GOSH!!!!!!! It has been revealed that the city of Asheville NC will only rebuild 8 HOUSES with the $225 MILLION grant they received from the Trump administration after Hurricane Helene. Yes, you read that right... EIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! ...OUT OF 11,488 DAMAGED HOMES The city allocated ONLY $3 MILLION for home repairs. And $14.9 MILLION for "administration" FIVE TIMES MORE for PAPERWORK than for the people whose homes got COMPLETELY DESTROYED!!!!!! Over 100+ approved families are CURRENTLY ON A WAITLIST that will never be funded. THIS IS CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!! PEOPLE NEED TO GO TO JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

🇩🇰 Copenhagen's Green-led council is limiting elderly care residents to 80 grams of beef per week for climate reasons. That works out to 11.4 grams a day, which is less meat than most people put in a single taco. A Green party rep explained the logic: the elderly "have been the biggest climate sinners throughout their lives." So the plan is apparently to make them atone for it in their final years, one thimble of mince at a time. Critics, including opposition parties and elderly advocates, say the policy risks undernutrition in a population already vulnerable to it. The council says it's flexible, but the elderly eating climate penance for dinner might disagree. Source: BT, Ekstra Bladet

We need to correct the record. The Starlink story was a cover. Hesam Alaeddin was not murdered just for seeking a connection to the free world. He was murdered in an armed cartel robbery. The actual motive was cryptocurrency. Hesam used Starlink to bypass the regime's digital cage so he could trade freely. He held massive digital assets, and the IRGC knew it. Because their foreign financial networks are being systematically choked off, the terrorist Islamic Regime is completely bankrupt. They have only one revenue stream left to fill their deficits: plundering the Iranian people. They targeted the Alaeddin family because they were the perfect mark: deeply wealthy (their great-uncle owns the famous Alaeddin Mall), religious, but fearlessly and openly anti-regime. Here is the exact timeline of how this slaughterhouse operates: Weeks ago, dozens of security forces raided the Kamranieh apartment of Hesam’s brother, Hamid, using "Starlink" as the excuse. Hamid resisted. They shot him in the leg and dragged him to the hospital in handcuffs. When Hesam and the family went to the hospital to check on him, the agents set a trap. They demanded everyone's phones and belongings as a condition for the visit. When the visit ended, they returned everything—*except* Hesam’s phone and his belongings. They wanted his digital wallets. Then they took Hesam. They dragged him into the dark and broke him under brutal interrogation and torture. Later, they brought him back and dumped him in the lobby of his own building. Right there, in front of his twin little daughters, they beat him with batons. When the neighbors killed their lights and started chanting against the regime in the dark, the executioners screamed back: *"Everything you have is from the charity of the regime!"* The clash escalated. They dragged Hesam away one last time. The next phone call his family received was to come and collect his corpse. They are out of money, and they are openly executing citizens to liquidate their assets. They are not a government. They are a bankrupt terrorist syndicate robbing the hostages at gunpoint.

Being a celebrity is hard work

🚨🇺🇸 Meanwhile in America “Look at them crawling out of there - millions of Ticks” The story is so insane - Farmers continue to report finding Boxes full of Ticks on their farmland, clearly left their on purpose. Now the US has already seen a sharp increase in the number of Tick related diseases.

@DavidJHarrisJr Nope.

Thoughts?

Want to talk about political violence? Karen Diamond was murdered in Boulder Colorado by a pro-Palestinian man who screamed "free Palestine" while burning her alive with a Molotov cocktail. Most Americans don't even know this happened.

@DefiantLs Delusional much?

British woman: If I had to pick between an island with patriotic right wing men and muslim men, "I would 100% feel safe and secure on the island with muslim men"

Out of every disgusting, dishonest piece of filth the mainstream media has produced about Hurricane Helene... This is the worst. 60 Minutes has NEVER done a story on the families FEMA denied. They NEVER mentioned the Amish, who are STILL in the mountains rebuilding homes 550 days later. They NEVER mentioned Jake Jarvis, who has worked 550 days STRAIGHT FOR FREE for Hurricane Helene victims. Instead, they dug up some fringe conspiracy angle to smear the people who actually showed up as White Nationalists. I'm so angry. Let me tell you what 60 Minutes will NEVER report on I was there. I lived it. I am still here. I shared every story I could find. Me, my wife, hundreds of volunteers delivered RVs to mothers holding babies who were sleeping in TOOL SHEDS AND TENTS in the freezing cold, in the mountains. Because their homes had been ripped off the side of a mountain and washed down the French Broad. So tell me 60 Minutes... WHERE WAS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? Tell me, WHY did all these volunteers NEED to show up? Any thoughts on that?!!!!! Any investigation AT ALL into the federal or state government's response to Hurricane Helene? Please tell me... if the federal government was doing such a GREAT JOB, why did we need to put victims in RVs... ...A MONTH AFTER THE HURRICANE?!!!!!!! Literally every single victim you talk to in Western North Carolina has a horror story about dealing with FEMA... ...and guess who they will all say actually cam through for them? Neighbors. Church groups. The Amish. The Cajun Navy. Shawn Hendricks. Samaritan's Purse. MercuryOne. The Mission Mules hauling insulin up washed-out roads, ONLY ACCESSIBLE by mules. Greg Biffle burning his own fuel in helicopters. Veterans like Adam Smith who organized helicopter rescues with other veterans BY HIMSELF and then was demonized by the media for it. Volunteers like Jake Jarvis working TO THIS DAY, 550 days later without ANY PAY AT ALL. THOSE ARE THE STORIES FROM HURRICANE HELENE WORTH TELLING. But 60 Minutes won't tell ANY OF THEM. Because the truth makes the federal government the villain and the "deplorables" are actually the heroes in this story and they can NEVER admit that. So instead they smeared the rescuers as white nationalists. This is unforgivable. I was there. I saw it with my own eyes. And I will BE DAMNED if I let CBS rewrite the history of what happened to my mountains.

Stunning video shows an ultra rare phenomenon of iridescent clouds, which appears when sunlight interacts with lingering raindrops in the air after it rains.

So, you’re flying in the middle of the night, over the Atlantic, dodging thunderstorms, and St Elmo’s Fire pays you a visit. It’s truly otherworldly.🙏

Beautiful and so exciting to watch!

You’re getting flooded with comments because the left has spent 10 years wearing out the word “Nazi” only to change course the second they need to elect one….

@ksorbs The diversity is too hot to handle.

This is insane. The historic Église Saint-Cyriaque church in Montenach, France, was just set on fire. Survived both world wars but couldn’t survive diversity.

A K9 appeared to be suspicious of White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting suspect Cole Allen but was pulled away just seconds before Allen charged through security. The dog was seen following Allen through a doorway but was pulled back by its handler. Immediately after the handler turned away with the dog, Allen was seen charging through security. What a massive failure on every level.
