Alan Ritchson Self-sabotaged His Box
Office Bomb ‘Motor City’ replies
Alan Ritchson, the far-left Reacher star who used the promotion tour for Motor City to falsely accuse President Donald Trump of raping 13-year-olds, faced humiliating rejection over the weekend when his movie collapsed at the box office. Although released in 1,600 theaters, Motor City grossed a pathetic $1.6 million in its debut. Its per-screen average was a laughable $1,015, placing it 18th in the per-screen-average derby.
Here’s the best news: Motor City’s production budget alone was $30 million.
Do you want to know what a narcissistic retard Alan Ritchson is…? Read on…
One year ago, the International Court of Justice in The Hague declared that all nations are obligated to protect the sky from greenhouse gas emissions. It’s unfortunate, but climate zealotry stubbornly hangs on.
The global warming cabal, which is less concerned with climate than abolishing capitalism and advancing their cult, has been showing cracks in recent years. A little more than a year ago, we noted that “our friend Steven Hayward,” a university professor and incisive thinker, had written “a compelling essay … about ‘The Nadir of the Climate Change Movement.'”
A suspect was taken into custody and police were searching for a second suspect after three people were killed, and four others were wounded Sunday in a mass shooting at the Seattle Center, according to Mayor Katie Wilson and police.
Wilson called the shooting "an act of horrific violence."[snip]
Police said one suspect has been arrested and they are searching for another. Investigators believe the two were shooting at each other and there is no ongoing threat to the public.
The Seattle Fire Department said two people were pronounced dead at the scene after attempting life-saving procedures.
Anthony Fauci's personal diaries have been revealed showing how he delighted in his interactions with celebrities as America went through the death throes of the early COVID-19 pandemic. (snip) His diaries have been published by longtime adversary and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. (snip) Fauci also comments on his own fame in general, including one post on April 7 of 2020, nearly a month after the pandemic began.
'Press still hot and heavy about me. Multiple stories per day directly or indirectly involving me,” Fauci wrote.
One hundred days away from the midterm elections, the National Republican Senatorial Committee is launching a new ad highlighting the rise of socialism across the country. The ad, titled “Hold the Line,” will run across North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, Michigan, Georgia, and New Hampshire. These are their key Senate races that could keep Republicans in the majority.
“Democrats want to export New York’s ‘commie corridor’ to a state near you, bringing crippling tax hikes, dismantled law enforcement, and bloated government spending with it,” NRSC National Press Secretary Bernadette Breslin told the Daily Signal when discussing the ad.
America began to see a rise in socialism when democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani—
Acting DNI Bill Pulte on Sunday evening announced that he fired more Deep State intel officials.
This is Pulte’s fourth round of firings.
“Since becoming Acting Director of National Intelligence, our team has been smartly, and carefully, reducing the size of ODNI, re-focusing ODNI on national security, the law, and the statute,” Pulte said.
“As of this evening, we just finished a 4th round of thoughtful, measured layoffs. Thank you!” Pulte said on X. CBS News previously reported that Pulte fired six political intelligence staffers and sent 45 others to their home agencies.
CNN reported that Pulte fired six political appointees chosen by Tulsi Gabbard.
“Today, I spent time with the National Counterterrorism Center team,
Electricity output increased by 2.8 percent in 2025, from 4.308 trillion kilowatthours to 4.429 trillion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2024, according to the latest data compiled by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
The news comes amid President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign promise to double U.S. electricity generation and bring prices down as demand skyrockets in the age of artificial intelligence and data centers, as well as with renewed high-tech manufacturing in the U.S.
For example at a Potterville, Mich. Rally in August 2024, President Trump said, “For us to compete successfully with China and others on AI, we’re going to need twice the electricity that we currently produce. Can you believe that?
Former President Barack Obama recently gave America another reminder of how his presidency—once expected to bring the country together—left us more divided on race.
Obama compared America under President Donald Trump to the tumultuous period after the Civil War that gave birth to the Ku Klux Klan. He said the U.S. is “having the same arguments” we did in the 1860s and 1870s, when Union troops occupied the former Confederacy and attempted to secure real freedom for former slaves.
“These issues are still here,” Obama told author Malcolm Gladwell in an interview for the podcast “Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise.”
Lawsuits advance against governor, lawmakers
for firing, censoring critics of gender ideology replies
for firing, censoring critics of gender ideology replies
Speaking against gender ideology in the Rocky Mountain states got a doctor removed from a medical licensing board and residents censored at legislative hearings. The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals delivered for the former while setting back the latter.
Radiologist Eric Cubin's First Amendment retaliation lawsuit against Wyoming GOP Gov. Mark Gordon is moving forward again, while Gays Against Groomers, Rocky Mountain Women's Network and their Colorado leaders are petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to stop lawmakers from enforcing "facially" unconstitutional "decorum" rules in public comment.
Former CBS News investigative reporter Catherine Herridge, who also worked with Fox News, reviewed a batch of documents declassified by the Trump administration concerning Chinese election interference. President Trump spoke extensively about the vulnerabilities of our election system in a primetime address on July 16. The president outlined how Beijing has compromised the voter data of around 220 million Americans, paid U.S. reporters to spread anti-Trump propaganda, and cited numerous intelligence officials who kept the extent of the Chinese election meddling operation from him.
It's been coming for a while, but this week, the once-conservative firebrand Tucker Carlson has doubled down on a version of reality that would make Iran's mullahs blush. Carlson used an appearance on the East Meets West with Olga and Tara podcast to unload on a provision in the fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act that would expand defense-technology cooperation between the United States and Israel. His verdict? Lawmakers who back the measure are acting against America's own interests, effectively merging our nations’ militaries.
SEATTLE, Wash. — Two people were killed and five others were injured during a shooting at Seattle Center during the Bite of Seattle event on Sunday night.The Seattle Police Department said at 6:30 p.m., “Police are investigating a shooting. Multiple shooting victims. Shots fired at the Seattle Center. More information to come. Please avoid the area.”Large numbers of police and emergency crews began arriving in the area of Sue Bird Ct & Thomas St shortly after 6 p.m.
The WNBA refused to wear the patriotic “USA 250” patches during its All-Star game on Saturday, becoming the only major American pro sport to reject the patch.
When the patches were first proposed, WNBPA Treasurer Brianna Turner raised eyebrows when she suggested that the patch should be rejected over slavery, and said in a post on X that, “No WNBA players would have been free 250 years ago. The majority wouldn’t even have their freedom 100 years ago.”
The race to become America's next economic heavyweight may already have a frontrunner.
The latest Internal Revenue Service (IRS) migration data show billions of dollars in taxpayer wealth flowing into Texas, while Census figures show the state's largest metropolitan areas continue to outpace much of the country in population growth, strengthening a decades-long shift in America's economic center of gravity.
What's more, Texas isn't relying on a single boomtown. Dallas-Fort Worth added more residents than any metropolitan area in the country over the past year, while Houston, Austin and San Antonio also ranked among the nation's fastest-growing metros.
Everyone is confused about President Trump’s Iranian strategy. (snip) He’s playing a game of multidimensional chess. In real time.
So, for the moment, I would like to revisit some of Trump’s core values. His comments nearly four decades ago in The Art of the Deal does shed some light on today’s zigs and zags.
In a small way, I’m trying to help us understand him.
Here are some of his key thoughts on combatting difficult and entrenched opponents. We’ve seen all of these ideas in play throughout this conflict.
Throughout this cycle, the Elitist Media have abetted DSA-affiliated candidates running as Democrats: gleefully amplified socialists such as Zohran Mamdani and covered for the sins of others such as Graham Platner. Through it all, they have assisted them in concealing what the Democratic Socialists of America actually stand for. A recent Fox News interview rips that veil open.
Shannon Brean interviewed DSA national co-chair Megan Romer on Fox News Sunday. Here are some of that interview’s most remarkable moments.
After an introduction and exchange of pleasantries, Bream asks Romer to respond to former Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison’s complaints about DSA candidates who hate the Democrat Party.
Perhaps it got too obvious not to notice.
But the Democrat party indeed is a dumpster fire of chaos, unpaid bills, and flung objects, now that so many sources of funding have vanished in the Trump era. No wonder they are putting out so many freakish candidates. One can only wonder how long such a mess will last.
According to the Times, whose headline was: Inside the Phone-Throwing Drama at the Troubled, Broke Democratic Party:
The Democratic Party is so short on cash that leaders at its headquarters have undertaken a new gambit to mask the severity of the problems: asking vendors not to send bills
Another person has been sentenced to prison related to the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.
Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, 37, was sentenced to 120 months’ imprisonment for attempting to bribe a federal juror during his 2024 fraud trial.
He was sentenced before U.S. District Judge Eric C. Tostrud in St. Paul on July 22, 2026.
Abdiaziz Farah was previously sentenced on August 6, 2025, for his role in exploiting a federally funded child nutrition program.
“Tampering with a juror is an assault on the integrity of the courts and the foundation of our democracy,” said United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen.
Britons are struggling to characterize their new Cabinet, following the arrival of a new prime minister on Monday. The Cabinet is not as northern or female as Andy Burnham signaled. Most members have certainly changed. Most are not loyalists to Keir Starmer, even less so to Tony Blair. Like Burnham, many hark back to a mythical golden age of socialism in the 1970s. Like him, most are alarmingly deficient in popular mandate, external qualifications, and even political trust for their new responsibilities.
Let’s start with Burnham himself, a man born in Liverpool who pretended to be Mancunian to win the mayoralty of Manchester.
Massachusetts Democrats are advancing legislation that would create a permanent state commission focused on protecting and promoting Islam.
Bill S.2134 has cleared initial committees and is currently in the state’s Senate Ways & Means Committee.
Massachusetts-based radio talk show host Jeffrey Kuhner sounded the alarm about the bill on X, saying it “guarantees Muslims will be appointed and hired across all levels of government.”
Indeed, no other religion has ever received this type of preferential treatment.
Members of the pro-Islam commission would be appointed by the governor, attorney general, legislative leaders, and “racial equity, civil rights and inclusion” committee chairs.
The 11-member body would:
Sophie Cunningham is the face that launched a thousand memes. In an interview with ESPN, she said the following: Then, after her non-conformity to Woke dogma drew howls, she doubled down.
The WNBA star recently burst onto the national scene with finger-pointing swagger.
Now, much like Caitlin Clark before her, Woke Media considers her to be a threat.
You see, she doesn’t subscribe to the left's talking points about boys invading girls' sports.
Cunningham spoke out about the “transgender problem” that is impacting girls' sports around the country.
First Circuit Slaps Down DOJ Request in
Mail-In Ballot Suit - Now It Could Be
Heading to SCOTUS replies
Mail-In Ballot Suit - Now It Could Be
Heading to SCOTUS replies
In a ruling on Saturday, the majority of a U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit panel refused to approve the Justice Department's request to lift a lower court's injunction relating to the Trump administration's efforts to clean up mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. SCOTUS Wire reported in an X thread on the details of the 2-1 ruling: Here's what the majority - Circuit Court Judges Gelpi and Rikelman - included in its opinion: The third member of the panel, Judge Dunlap, wrote a partial dissent: The lower court ruling came courtesy of U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, as my colleague Rusty Weiss wrote in June:
Approximately 75,000 noncitizens are summoned for jury duty in the Garden State every year, according to newly disclosed figures from the New Jersey judiciary.
The revelation comes as state officials are already scrambling to explain how thousands of self-identified noncitizens were improperly added to New Jersey’s voter rolls and how hundreds reportedly cast ballots.
You cannot make this up.
The New Jersey Globe reported that New Jersey processes more than one million jury summonses annually using records randomly selected from three state agencies: the Division of Elections, the Division of Taxation, and the Motor Vehicle Commission.
The best way to describe Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is to say that it is a sleek, modern piece of porcelain, delivered without the medium ribeye you ordered.
The movie, like all of Nolan’s work, is a technical marvel and the first narrative film shot completely on IMAX 70mm film. Chock full of household names, both old-school (Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron) and newcomers (Tom Holland and Zendaya), the blockbuster is reminiscent of old Hollywood star-fests like Sidney Lumet’s Murder on the Orient Express and John Huston’s The List of Adrian Messenger.
