Won't Know Outcomes of CA's Crucial Primaries
for Days replies
In California, the term “Election Day” is really a misnomer — it’s election month, at least. Ballots were sent out for Tuesday’s primary on May 4 to every eligible voter, which amounts to over 23 million people. Folks have been voting ever since.
So Tuesday marks the end of a seemingly never-ending period that ends this evening; it’s hardly election day.
Well, perhaps we’ll know the winners and the losers by the end of the evening, you might argue, so we can still call it "election night." Oh no, no, no, this is the Left Coast, and things get strange out here. It can take weeks
NEW YORK — The U.S. stock market inched to more records Tuesday as winners of the artificial-intelligence boom kept driving higher.
The S&P 500 rose 0.1% after drifting between small gains and losses through the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 228 points, or 0.4%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up by less than 0.1%. All three set all-time highs.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise helped lead the market, and its stock soared 19.5% after it reported a profit for the latest quarter that blew past analysts’ expectations. It credited demand from customers building their artificial-intelligence capabilities.
Marvell Technology leaped 32.5%
n December 2025, Southampton police found a crime scene with a Sikh man claiming racist assault and a stabbed British-Polish teen dying and pleading for help. The police believed the Sikh and arrested the dying teen because, in the UK, all that matters now is your skin color.
British authorities finally released bodycam footage from the death of teenager Henry Nowak. Vickrum Digwa murderedthe 18-year-old with a Sikh ceremonial knife, and received a sentence of life in prison with a minimum term of 21 years on Monday. UK wokies had been resisting release of the bodycam footage because it proves
War Secretary Pete Hegseth recently blocked the promotions of several Navy officers who had been selected by a board of senior admirals to be promoted to one-star admirals.
Hegseth, who has long touted his belief that the military should be a meritocracy, blocked the promotions of nine Navy officers, according to the New York Times. Of those nine officers, three of the officers are women, two are black men, and four are white men.
Carville: Something Is Wrong with Trump

— ‘Goes to Walter Reed More than I
Go to the Bathroom’ replies
Tuesday on MS NOW’s “The Beat,” Democratic strategist James Carville said something was wrong with President Donald Trump, based on the president’s visits to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD.
Carville said, “In all my years in politics I’ve never heard the leader of a political party say, I don’t care if we win the election or not, it matters nothing to me. And maybe he is so self-absorbed that that’s true.”
Host Ari Melber said, “Right, that he’s blurting the truth and they might be talking about it the day after the November elections. Again, I don’t like to get ahead
Tuesday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) refused to denounce Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo.
Host Kasie Hunt said, “So speaking of politics there today Graham Platner, the likely nominee for Senate in Maine, was meeting with Democrats after additional revelations. There have been some in your caucus, including, Cory Booker and, John Fetterman, notably, who’ve criticized Platner and raised questions about whether he’s the right nominee in that race. Do you think, considering everything on the line control of the Senate, that could come down to that race in Maine, is he the right person for Democrats to put forward?”
The number of open jobs in the U.S. economy jumped to 7.6 million in April while layoffs declined, evidence of how demand for workers has intensified.
At the end of April, there were just over 7.6 million open positions, up from about 6.9 million at the end of March, according to the Labor Department’s monthly report on job openings and labor turnover. This is the largest number of job vacancies in two years.
The manufacturing sector saw openings rise to 474,000, up 24,000 from the previous month and 98,000 higher than a year ago. The monthly increase was entirely in durable goods businesses, as nondurable goods openings remained flat.
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 2 intervened again to confirm its previous ruling that will allow Alabama to move forward with a map eliminating racial gerrymandering.
In Allen v. Milligan, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that Alabama is right to redraw its congressional map to eliminate race-based districts, just as it ruled in Louisiana v. Callais and Allen v. Caster. The Voting Rights Act does not allow race-based gerrymandering, the Court previously ruled, and that still holds true in spite of an activist District Court.
The reality is that judicial activists are mad because the map is likely to favor Republicans once it is drawn
It may come as no surprise that the Texas Senate candidate infamous for declaring that “God is nonbinary” attends a left-leaning church, but the religious home of James Talarico is so absurdly “woke” that Americans might be forgiven for questioning whether it is a church at all.
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas, has repeatedly featured an LGBTQ+ “pride” flag hanging over the cross that stands at the front of the sanctuary.
This symbolism is telling on multiple levels. First, it obscures the symbol of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, seemingly prioritizing the rainbow flag
Adam Hamawy, an Egypt-born former combat surgeon who once volunteered with an Al Qaeda-linked group in Bosnia, emerged victorious Tuesday in the Democratic primary for retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s (D-NJ) seat.
Hamawy — a staunch critic of Israel who was endorsed by “Squad” Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), as well as socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) — was the top vote-getter in the crowded Democratic primary race for the Garden State’s deep-blue 12th Congressional District.
An Iraq War veteran, Hamawy has made national headlines for saving Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-Ill) life
He may be the Communist darling of left-wing livestreaming, but when the cameras are off, the real Hasan Piker is shallow and sex-driven, sources claim.
Although he recently debuted a more serious image, donning spectacles and suits for his broadcasts, those close to the 34-year-old told The Post he’s still a pervy, porn-obsessed frat boy — impulses they say get in the way of him ever realizing his goal of making it in the mainstream.
“Off camera he is very stiff and impersonal. I can’t tell how much of what he says he actually believes. He definitely leverages it to creep on women,” a former pal told The Post.
A tense hostage situation continued late Tuesday in Bakersfield, California, after a man allegedly barricaded himself inside a Chase Bank building following reports of a bomb threat, triggering a massive response from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
According to the Bakersfield Police Department, officers were dispatched to the Chase Bank building at the intersection of Chester Avenue and 17th Street at around 1 pm local time after receiving reports of a bomb threat. Upon arrival, authorities discovered that an adult male had barricaded himself inside the building along with several members of the public. No injuries have been reported so far.
Longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley is out of the famed news program.
Pelley, who spent over 30 years at CBS News, has been fired from the company after a clash with new "60 Minutes" top producer Nick Bilton, Business Insider has confirmed.
"Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear," Bilton wrote in a memo to Pelley that was seen by Business Insider. "I therefore write on behalf of CBS News, Inc. to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated for cause effective immediately."
New York Democrats’ latest bid to suppress Republican voters launches this week as the Legislature gets the ball rolling on amending the state Constitution to allow it.
They claim they’re just countering GOP gerrymandering across the country, but that prompts the question: Why did they start trying to do this before the ink was even dry on the 2020 Census?
As we noted recently, New York Dems in fact triggered the gerrymander wars with their relentless efforts, starting in 2021, to undo the voter-passed prohibition on gerrymandering so they could draw district maps guaranteed to shut out the Republicans (who still draw over 40% of the statewide vote).
Inflation is hitting Iran hard in the midst of stalled negotiations with the U.S.
Iranian news agencies are reporting that the country has stopped talking with mediators about extending the ceasefire with the U.S. and Israel, the Associated Press reported.
President Donald Trump said Monday that he does not "care" if peace negotiations with Iran are over, stating that the negotiations had been taking too much time. However, Trump said on Tuesday that claims that the two countries have ceased communicating are "false and erroneous."
So long as no agreement is reached, Iran's oil-
The United States Central Command said Tuesday night that U.S. forces have successfully defended itself against aggressive Iranian behavior and countered with self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf.
The U.S. military said Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors in the Middle East, which all failed to hit their targets of Bahrain and Kuwait.
American forces also shot down three one-way attack drones that were launched toward civilian mariners in regional waters and conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on the island.
American military forces carried out strikes on an Iranian island abutting the Strait of Hormuz in response to attempted Iranian drone and missile attacks, the latest clash between the two countries as President Trump pushes to strike a longer-term agreement with Iran.
U.S. Central Command said in a statement Tuesday it shot down three Iranian drones that targeted civilian mariners. Iran also launched ballistic missiles at U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf region that "all failed to hit their intended targets," according to CENTCOM, including three missiles that were fired at Bahrain but were shot down by air defenses, and two missiles
Comedian and HBO late-night host Bill Maher shared that he felt that reality star and Republican candidate for Los Angeles mayor Spencer Pratt was “authentic,” stating that he had him “at hello.”
During an episode of Maher’s podcast, Club Random, Pratt explained that he “never planned” to run for mayor of LA, adding that he “ran to have a bigger platform to expose all the negligence” under current LA Mayor Karen Bass (D) and Democrats such as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). Pratt added that the Democrats “failed” him. When asked if he was “strong enough to buck the unions,” Pratt spoke about how while Bass says “every single union endorses her,”
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday asking AI companies to let the federal government take a look at their most powerful models before releasing them to the public. No mandatory reviews. No licensing. No federal approval process. Just a request, with a 30-day window to act on it.
The order puts America's most advanced AI to work defending power grids, hospitals, and government networks before China or criminal actors find the holes first.
Trump wrote in the order that America leads the world in AI because his administration cut the regulatory dead weight the Biden White House piled onto developers and researchers.
One of the few useful points from the DNC's aborted "autopsy," released two weeks ago by Ken Martin while renouncing it at the same time, focused on the Democrats' problems with men. Specifically – or as specifically as the report managed to get – the analysis pointed to Democrats' embrace of identity politics as particularly alienating to male voters, even those otherwise in minority demos:
Male voters require direct engagement. The gender gap can be narrowed. Deploy male messengers, address economic concerns, and don't assume identity politics will hold male voters of color.
There's a reason for that alienation,
It is now so common for leftists, indeed most Democrats, to call Trump supporters Nazis that it's easy to shrug and move on.
Unfortunately, as much as we would like to think it is a mere rhetorical flourish, it is not one at all. If you think that Democrats aren't serious when they propose what sound like insane measures, just remember what they did during COVID, what they are doing with alphabet ideology (literally sterilizing and mutilating kids and putting sex offenders into girls' locker rooms), and what they did to President Trump before his reelection.
They are quite serious about all the insane things they talk about
Tuesday on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” former first lady Jill Biden said she believed her husband, former President Joe Biden, would have beaten Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Biden said, “I mean, Joe had to decide whether to run again. But like you said, you know, we did well, the Democrats did well in the midterms, and in 2023, the Democratic Party was totally behind Joe, and people, everywhere I went, ‘Joe’s got to do it again. He’s got to run. He’s got to run. And he was like, ‘Well, I don’t know’ – you know – ‘Am I too old?’ I mean, it was the age question
Kirkwood, Missouri, is an appealing suburb about 15 miles from St. Louis City. The city was founded in 1853 and is the first planned suburb west of the Mississippi.
Many families flock to the area for its suburban school system and safe environment.
But for those parents who thought their kids were getting a well-rounded education in Kirkwood, they may want to think again. Recently, the woke president of the Kirkwood School Board, Judy Moticka, took to Facebook and called for the assassination of President Trump.
Judy is a school board leader but wants President Trump killed and is not ashamed to admit her views on her Facebook account!
The Gateway Pundit reported that an anti-ICE rioter, identified as Brendan John Geier, was arrested and charged last week after kicking and biting ICE agents during protests, leaving the agent with horrific bite wounds.
In gruesome photos of agents’ injuries, gashes and teeth marks are seen on the agents’ skin. (Snip) The Justice Department has confirmed to The New York Post that Geier, of Madison, New Jersey, was previously charged with sexual abuse of children related to the dissemination and possession of child pornography in Pennsylvania.
