What happens when Democrats refuse to stand up for America? They inadvertently boost Republicans chances in the midterms, of course. During last night's State of the Union, the Democrats made it crystal clear where their priorities lie, and spoiler alert, it's not with the American people. https://twitter.com/WesternLensman/status/2026502671453004268 In a laundry list rattled off by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the Democrats took a hard pass on applauding some pretty basic American values. We're talking about things like putting American citizens over illegal aliens, and keeping violent criminals locked up. The cherry on top? They even stayed glued to their ...Continue reading

If you thought last night’s State of the Union was going to be a snooze fest, you must have missed the moment when President Trump delivered a zinger that had even Elizabeth Warren, of all people, on her feet clapping. Forget Hollywood for drama, folks; Washington’s got it covered. Trump’s call to ban congressional insider trading, with a cheeky jab at former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, had the crowd roaring. You see, Trump didn’t just propose the STOP Insider Trading Act—he threw in a side-eye at Pelosi by asking if she’d stand for the ban. Spoiler alert: she didn’t. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2026493022335054138 In ...Continue reading

For decades, dystopian movies like The Minority Report warned about a future where authorities try to stop crimes before they happen. It always sounded like science fiction — until artificial intelligence quietly made it possible. Months before the deadly school massacre in Tumbler Ridge, Canada, OpenAI employees internally flagged disturbing conversations involving the eventual shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar. According to reporting from The Wall Street Journal, staff members were alarmed enough to debate whether police should be contacted. Think about what that means. Private employees inside a tech company were reviewing conversations someone believed were private — and weighing whether ...Continue reading

What should have been a rare moment of winter fun in New York City quickly turned into something far uglier — and far more revealing about the growing hostility police officers now face simply for doing their jobs. After a massive blizzard dumped nearly two feet of snow across the city, crowds gathered Monday afternoon in Washington Square Park to celebrate the storm. But when the situation became disorderly and the NYPD was called in to restore order shortly after 4 p.m., officers were met not with cooperation — but with a barrage of snowballs. According to the NYPD, members ...Continue reading

Gavin Newsom has achieved what many thought impossible: he's managed to outrage both sides of the aisle with a single misguided comment. The Governor of California, known for his slick hair and even slicker tongue, recently likened his struggles with a low SAT score to the experiences of Black Americans. In a cringe-worthy attempt to connect with Black voters, Newsom pandered to them by saying he was just as dumb as they were.  Sean Hannity, the conservative commentator who needs no introduction, was quick to pounce on Newsom's soft racism. https://twitter.com/seanhannity/status/2025899808867701236 Newsom responded not with an apology, but with a ...Continue reading

In a move that would make even the most savage internet trolls proud, the White House took a moment from its busy schedule of running the country to serve up a steaming plate of victory—and a side of sass—to former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The occasion? The United States claimed Olympic gold in men’s hockey, ending a 46-year drought, by defeating Canada 2-1 in a nail-biting overtime showdown at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Games. Jack Hughes played the hero, scoring the golden goal that sent fans into a frenzy from Milan to the heart of America. But while ...Continue reading

35 Years Later, Ted Levine Apologizes for ‘Silence of the Lambs’ — And It’s Just Sad Thirty-five years after The Silence of the Lambs swept the Oscars and cemented itself as one of the greatest thrillers ever made, actor Ted Levine is apologizing. For what, exactly? For playing a fictional serial killer. Levine, who portrayed the infamous “Buffalo Bill,” recently told The Hollywood Reporter that there are “certain aspects of the movie that don’t hold up too well.” He added, “We all know more, and I’m a lot wiser about transgender issues. There are some lines in that script and ...Continue reading

Elizabeth Warren just got steamrolled on live TV, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. During a Capitol Hill hearing, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent flipped the script on the Massachusetts senator—and then ran it through a shredder. Warren tried to corner Bessent on President Trump calling the so-called “affordability crisis” a hoax. But Bessent didn’t flinch. Instead, he calmly explained that yes, there’s a crisis—one *created* by Warren and Joe Biden. Not Trump. Bessent said, “It was you and President Biden who destroyed the buying power of the American people.” Boom. Game over. Warren, somehow still thinking ...Continue reading

When your political vocabulary is as shaky as your policy positions, things can go sideways fast — just ask Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The congresswoman from New York is going viral for all the wrong reasons after a laugh-out-loud mistake she made while trying to defend disgraced former CNN anchor Don Lemon. In a heated rant posted on X, AOC tried to cast Lemon as a martyr of the evil Trump administration, claiming he’s being targeted to send a message to the media and public dissenters. But instead of landing a fiery defense, she lit up the internet with one hilariously botched ...Continue reading
