A tourist was seriously injured Friday evening after being thrown 8 feet into the air by a bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. Professional photographer Mike Macleod filmed the incident and said the bison was "angry, agitated and charging anything and everything." (No audio)

During any other time in history, a U.S. senator’s office potentially covering up the death of a Senator to prevent a special election would be the biggest scandal of the decade, and press and government officials would have the hospital surrounded 24/7 trying to get answers.

Cyclosporiasis, the parasite causing the current explosive diarrhea outbreak, is at a level 20x higher than its yearly average.

This comes just 1 year after the Trump admin removed a cyclospora tracking mandate from the 'Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network.'

Jason Bateman says he was too embarrassed to say one word to his 14-year-old during ‘the talk’, so the replacement he invented is so much worse

“So I’m giving my daughter the talk, you don’t want to be saying the word ‘ejaculate’ to your daughter. That’s not a great term”

“I said, when the male member is inside of the woman’s member, it’s so lovely, there’s so much love. I’m starting to sweat just thinking about it”

“To avoid that term, I said the penis just screams. And it’s the equivalent of the penis just yelling ‘I love you.’ And then it yells the love into the woman, and then you get you, baby”

Investigators say a Fort Wayne man cut off his penis, lit it on fire and then used it to set his mom's garage on fire.

Christopher Peden is charged with one count of Arson.

Peden was arrested last week and his bond was set at $10,000. He has since posted that bond.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sent a public letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell on July 8 requesting a full update on his health, citing weeks of limited information since McConnell’s June 14 hospitalization. Beshear called for transparency about his ability to serve.

😳 Trump just flubbed his way through his meeting with Zelenskyy, at various points referring to the "Islamic Republic of Japan," repeatedly calling Zelenskyy "President Putin," and railing against the "JCPOC"

Here's the blooper reel:

A very confused Trump:

We had 111 missiles shot by the islamic republic of Japan.

I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning.

He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he’s really sorry about how my primary turned out.

I think this whole situation surrounding Mitch McConnell just became far more serious.

What authority was Elaine Chao acting under when she met with a senior CCP while her husband, a sitting U.S. senator, was hospitalized following a reported medical emergency?

Elaine Chao hasn’t held a U.S. government position since January 7, 2021, when she resigned as Secretary of Transportation.

The Logan Act prohibits unauthorized private citizens from conducting correspondence or negotiations with foreign governments regarding disputes or matters involving the United States.

If Elaine Chao was representing the United States with authorization from the U.S. government, the State Department should say so.

If she was acting solely as a private citizen while discussing U.S.-China relations with senior Chinese officials, it raises legitimate questions about whether the Logan Act could apply.

The State Department should immediately explain whether this meeting was officially sanctioned, what capacity Elaine Chao was serving in, and whether she had authorization to engage in those discussions.

President Trump has previously criticized Elaine Chao over her family’s business ties to China. Regardless of politics, the American people deserve transparency about the purpose of this meeting.

These questions are even more important because there are still serious unanswered questions about Senator McConnell’s condition. We still do not know the status of a sitting U.S. senator while his wife was meeting with the CCP.

Finally, has anyone confirmed whether Elaine Chao has returned to the United States? If so, when? If not, where is she now?

This is a national security issue. The American people deserve answers.

To anyone considering helping President Trump interfere with our election or our count:

You will be prosecuted.

That’s why I’m moving forward with new legislation that would make it a FELONY to seize ballots before the vote has been certified by state and county officials.

BREAKING: Disturbing new allegations accuse Republicans of hiding Mitch McConnell’s health status in order to prevent a special election that could put Trump’s enemy Thomas Massie in the Senate!

This seems INCREDIBLY shady…

Independent journalist Desirée Townsend laid out the disturbing case with clarity:

“Senator Mitch McConnell has now been hospitalized for three weeks. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, especially given that his wife, Elaine Chao, appeared in China just days after his hospitalization to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials.”

“The question now is about national security: if Senator McConnell has been unable to independently perform his duties, what safeguards exist to ensure classified intelligence briefings, defense appropriations information, or other sensitive congressional matters could not be accessed, discussed, or shared by individuals operating behind the scenes? And given the timing of Chao’s meeting with China’s vice president, what exactly was discussed?”

These are important questions that we NEED answers for.
Mitch McConnell has not been seen in public in over three weeks, nor have we had any update on his health after he suffered cardiac arrest, was given CPR, and then hospitalized.

Curiously, his wife Elaine Chao, who is not a government official, suddenly flew to China just three days after the incident – meaning that the person with power of attorney over his affairs is out of the country, meaning there is nobody to declare him brain-dead if he is indeed in a coma or otherwise mentally unfit to do his job, which it was unclear that he was capable of doing before.

Is she hiding in China to keep him alive as a vegetable?
In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election, and that date is August 3rd.

If a special election was called, Trump’s vocal critic Thomas Massie would certainly run and likely win – which would be a HUGE headache for Trump and his agenda. If he didn’t win, he would split the vote, allowing a Democrat like Charles Booker to fill the seat.
That’s why they’re trying to conceal his condition as long as possible.

Either way, this is absolutely unacceptable. Mitch McConnell is the chair of the important Senate Rules Committee.

We cannot allow Republicans to just lie to the American people and treat their jobs like its a position they OWN, especially when so much is at stake and one vote could change history forever.

Republicans need to tell us what the hell is going on with Mitch McConnell, ASAP.

Had Trump not said anything, FIFA probably would have reversed the red card after “review” and kept the contact secret.

But he can’t help himself. He’s a piss poor criminal who can’t hide it. That will ultimately be his undoing… crypto, Qatar, his sons “ventures” on and on
