Portugal's right-wing leader André Ventura said it clearly:
"If you want to wear a burqa? It's really simple! Pack your stuff, catch a flight, and go. Go to Pakistan, go to Saudi Arabia, go to Morocco... Go wherever the hell you want. Just not here!"
Five family members who had set out for a day of hiking were killed after a flash flood swept through canyons of southern Utah on Friday, law enforcement officials said.
The victims were a captain in the Provo, Utah, fire department, his wife and their sons, according to fire officials. A daughter who was not on the trip survived.
Pray for the surviving daughter🙏
I’m sorry, but pulling this obvious little stunt against J.D. Vance, whose wife just gave birth, when Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen in weeks is absolutely absurd. What are we even doing here.
The black mother who made her family walk out on a $300 restaurant bill in Orlando, Florida, has been identified as Adeliah Jones, a resident of Flint, Michigan, who is vacationing in Florida.
It would be a shame if we ended their vacation.
Iran’s Regime is Lashing Out Like Cornered Rats After Trump’s Strikes!
Kuwait intercepting Iranian drones hitting oil refineries & water plants. Bahrain under attack with sirens blaring. Jordan knocking down missiles & drones. This is Iran’s desperate retaliation after days of U.S. hammering their bridges, weapons sites, and command centers all to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
Jack Keane nailed it: Trump signed that MOU for open straits and peace talks. Iran violated it immediately. Now they’re trying to choke global oil and hit our Gulf allies while crying foul. Wrong move. Trump isn’t playing games he’s taking control, denying them launch capabilities, and showing the world America won’t let terrorists dictate international waters.
The message is clear: Aggression has a price. Peace through strength works. Iran’s “suspend the commitments” tantrum? Pathetic. Trump is finishing the job on the regime’s threats while the Fake News stays silent.
America First means protecting shipping lanes, allies, and our interests. No more weakness. Let’s go, POTUS! 🇺🇸
A US senator killed a 28 year old woman, left her to drown, spent zero days in jail, and then served 40 more years in the Senate. 57 years ago tonight. Almost nobody remembers her name.
57 years ago tonight, July 18 1969, on a tiny island called Chappaquiddick that most Americans could not find on a map, the most infamous car accident in US history happened while the entire world was staring at the sky waiting for men to walk on the moon.
Senator Ted Kennedy left a cottage party for the "Boiler Room Girls," the young women who had worked themselves to exhaustion on his brother Bobby's campaign the year before Bobby was shot, and he drove off with 28 year old Mary Jo Kopechne around 11:15 pm. He said he was taking her to the ferry.
Instead the car went off the Dike Bridge, a narrow wooden bridge with no guardrail, and flipped upside down into the black tidal water of Poucha Pond. Kennedy got out. Mary Jo did not.
And here is the part history never forgave: he did not knock on the lit up house just yards away that had a phone, he did not call police, he walked back to the party and then he went to bed.
He reported it roughly 10 hours later, the next morning, only after two fishermen had already found the car and her body. The diver who pulled her out, John Farrar, said she had likely survived for a while inside an air pocket and might be alive today if anyone had simply called for help that night.
Two days later Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, and so the greatest achievement in human history shared the front page with a drowned woman and a senator who waited until sunrise.
The punishment for all of it: a guilty plea to leaving the scene, a two month suspended sentence, not a single day served. He kept his Senate seat for 40 more years until he died in 2009, one of the most powerful men in the country.
Strip away the famous last name and you are left with something painfully simple. A young woman trusted the wrong man to drive her home, and he chose himself.
Say her name tonight. Not his. Mary Jo Kopechne.
I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...
...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.
Why?
Because they were GREEK characters.
I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.
I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.
They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.
And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.
We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.
Odysseus is a GREEK hero.
Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.
Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.
Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."
It’s just insulting.
Stop it.
🚨Missouri prosecutor Camille Johnston was removed after she allegedly slept with the illegal immigrant her office was investigating for s*x assault!!
The elected Ray County Prosecutor was booted Thursday after a judge approved a petition from Attorney General Catherine Hanaway.
The allegations center on a hidden relationship with a Mexican national in the country illegally since 2019.
Johnston allegedly helped the man evade arrest by driving to Mississippi to give him her car and title while he was hiding from the investigation. She failed to disqualify herself from the case and did not properly pursue charges. The man was later arrested in Ohio and is now awaiting trial.
Two additional alleged affairs involved a defense lawyer whose clients she was prosecuting and a married domestic violence suspect. In one instance she fired an employee who confronted her about the relationship.
Hanaway stated that Johnston treated public office like her personal playground and betrayed the public trust. The AG said removal was necessary when an elected official puts self-interest ahead of the people she was sworn to protect.
Public office is a position of trust. Conflicts like these damage victims and undermine the entire justice system.

AMAZING! The mother of Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, the National Guardsman who was SHOT by an Afghan terrorist in DC, just gave an INCREDIBLE update on his progress
"I first want to say that we had the nation behind us at a time when NOBODY thought our boy would make it. He was 24 years old... shot in the left side of the brain."
"We have a strong faith in God, and GOD is what brought our son through this!"
"He came home from the hospital April 2nd, and he is now enjoying being home. He's getting back into playing golf..."
He has more surgeries expected in September, but they're hoping he'll be back to independent living in short order!
