This is being called one of the most highly sophisticated thefts the FBI has seen in a long time. 🤬

How is it that I, A U.S CITIZEN, am being told that I can’t RE-ENTER THE U.S by AMERIKAN CBP officers in CANADA? All because I said NO to searching my personal electronic devices?? What the FUCK is going on????? CANADIAN BORDER PATROL OFFICERS ARE CONFUSED JUST LIKE ME!!!!!!

🚨WTF: CNN’s Dana Bash humiliates herself on live TV insinuating to Jamie Raskin that Democrats are to blame for political violence for “heated rhetoric” like saying Trump “is terrible for this country.” Completely delusional and embarrassing.

Bookbinder Maren Achterberg in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri accepted a water-damaged family Bible for rebinding in March 2023. Standard job. $185. The hide glue wouldn't release the spine. She soaked it for forty minutes in a warm citric acid bath. The leather separated cleanly. Beneath it, pressed flat against the mull cloth, was a second document - folded once, sealed with a wax cartouche she didn't recognize. She called a conservator at Washington University. The document was a 1783 Spanish colonial land grant a merced real deeding 640 arpents along the Mississippi to a fur trader named Jean-Baptiste Lalumière. A title abstracter in St. Louis confirmed the parcel still existed. Unrecorded. Never transferred. The family hired a property attorney. The land's current assessed value is $2.1 million. Maren invoiced $185. "They paid in exact change," she said.

@ArtCandee The fact that he gave a press conference right after to rant about his ballroom is the second biggest red flag, the first being the smirk. He figured the judge/court would relent if his life is in danger. So obviously staged.

@ArtCandee Staged.

I see lots of people on the right, left, and independents saying the WHCD incident last was staged to boost the president’s abysmal ratings. Folks just don’t seem to be buying it. What do you think?

A civilian vessel entered a Russian port, reportedly carrying thousands of tons of aerial bombs and ammunition. At some point, it exploded. The blast was so powerful that it literally wiped out everything around it. According to preliminary estimates, more than 3,000 tons of explosives detonated. Secondary explosions have been continuing for several hours, and the sky above the port is completely black with smoke. Russian authorities are in a state of panic. They have already sealed off the area, declared a state of emergency, and are trying to describe it as a “technological accident.” But even pro-government channels are saying: “This could not have been an accident.” Sources close to Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine hint that it may have been a special operation. The vessel reportedly entered the port under a “neutral” flag, after which a self-destruction mechanism was triggered.

71 year old woman ejected from prison door by deputy. Aurinia Thimmhardy, a 71 year old grandmother with a history of mental illness was tossed out of the front door by Sacramento county Deputy Matthew Gurich upon her release. Tension began during processing interaction where Thimmhardy was forcibly grabbed and ejected out the exit by Gurich, causing her to fall face-first onto the concrete. As a result the fall resulted in a broken femur, which required surgery. Thimmhardy remained hospitalized for roughly three months. While she was in the hospital recovering from her injuries, her husband—who was her primary caretaker—passed away. Because of her hospitalization and physical condition, she was unable to be by his side during his final days. Sheriff Jim Cooper terminated Matthew Gurich, stating that such actions do not uphold the standards of the agency. Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office charged Gurich with one felony count of unlawful assault by a public officer. Thimmhardy’s family filed a civil rights lawsuit against Sacramento County and the deputies involved. They are seeking accountability and calling for improved mental health training for first responders.

Local reports say the Al Sayha earthen dam in southern Aleppo, Syria, has failed, pushing large volumes of water into nearby valleys and fields. Crops are at risk, and attempts to contain the flow so far haven’t worked.

Last night, CNN, TMZ, CBS and others reported the dinner gunman was “confirmed dead.” In fact, he was alive and had not been shot. (Just shot at). At a dinner honoring White House reporting, the rush to be first instead of being accurate was on full display. Speaks volumes.

Every morning, our Keepers walk out with the herd. Why? Because even though these orphans are starting to hear the call of the wild, they haven't entirely found their feet. A burst of antelope through the bush or unintentionally rousing some sleeping buffalo can give our big babies a fright – and when that happens, our Keepers are there to restore calm and order. For the newest herd members – new arrivals like Toto, Natibu and Mwinzi – these walks build familiarity with a landscape that will one day be entirely their own. When that day comes, they'll no longer need our Keepers, though the bonds remain. Until then, our guardians in khaki continue to stand sentinel over the herd. Ex-orphan Manda's recent visit goes to show that these walks are pivotal to a successful reintegration – and help ensure the orphans remember the path back home whenever they want: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/m…

🔴BREAKING : This 45 years old 🇭🇺 Hungarian PM is the new headache for Trump. 🔥 🇭🇺Péter Magyar : "American puppet Orbán, has links to oligarchs who are transferring tens of billions to the United Arab Emirates and the United States. I am going to suspend it."🔥 He is new FIREBRAND 🔥🔥

@harryjsisson He needs his ballroom, Harry, so he has a place to go and hide-out when we impeach him and come knocking on the door. He’s insane and everyone knows it except MAGA. While we choose humor to deal the insanity and not believe any of this…we are all in serious danger.

MAGA is saying that Democrats want our political opponents dead when just a few weeks ago Trump celebrated Robert Mueller’s death publicly and they were all quiet. I don’t think anybody should be killed over their political views. Trump can’t say the same.

In 2003, Kathy Bates was quietly undergoing grueling treatment for ovarian cancer, choosing to keep the diagnosis a secret while continuing her acting career. On screen, nothing showed. She was still delivering powerful performances, steady and composed, the same presence audiences had known from Misery and Fried Green Tomatoes. But away from cameras, she was going through surgery, chemotherapy, and long stretches of uncertainty—without telling the public. It was a private fight. Nearly a decade later, everything changed. In 2012, Kathy revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had undergone a double mastectomy. This time, she didn’t stay silent. She spoke openly, not for sympathy, but to reclaim the narrative. She wanted people to see the reality—what survival actually looks like. And what it costs. After the surgery, she developed lymphedema, a condition that causes swelling due to lymphatic fluid buildup. It’s common after lymph node removal, yet rarely discussed. Instead of hiding it, Kathy brought it forward. She talked about it. Showed it. In interviews, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing the compression garments she wore every day. It wasn’t about making a statement—it was about removing the silence around something millions quietly live with. That led her to advocacy. She became the national spokesperson for the Lymphatic Education & Research Network, using her platform to push for awareness, funding, and research. Her message stayed consistent: the condition wasn’t rare—it was overlooked. And that needed to change. At the same time, she returned to work. Roles in American Horror Story and Harry’s Law came during and after treatment. She didn’t slow down. If anything, her performances carried something deeper—an added layer of truth that came from lived experience. Her work in American Horror Story: Coven earned her an Emmy, a reminder that her ability hadn’t faded. It had sharpened. What stood out wasn’t just that she survived. It was how she shifted. Instead of stepping back, she leaned forward—into conversations about health, body image, and recovery. She spoke with honesty, often using humor to make difficult subjects easier to face. At one point, she said she used to be afraid of the word “survivor.” Now, she owned it. Her story moved beyond illness. It became about visibility—about making sure others didn’t have to go through the same silence she once did. She showed that vulnerability didn’t weaken strength; it defined it. Even with physical challenges, she stayed present—on red carpets, at events, in roles that demanded intensity. Offscreen, her voice became just as important as her work. Kathy Bates didn’t just endure what happened to her. She turned it outward—into something that reached others, and made sure they didn’t feel alone.

Zelenskyy 🇺🇦 just handed Putin the one thing Moscow hates more than truth: An invoice. "Russia 🇷🇺 will pay tens of billions for its war against Ukraine," because empires love conquest until the bill arrives.
