OMAHA, Neb. — Looking forward to more evening sunlight thanks to daylight saving time this weekend? Many in the golf industry like the time change, too, and they are pushing to make that annual switch permanent. The move is intended to encourage more evening golf and to stave off efforts to establish permanent standard time, which would leave less time for an evening on the links. And it is those late afternoon players who tend to buy food and drinks in the clubhouse. “We would lose 100 tee times a day if daylight saving time goes away,” ...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Friday that the Democratic Party lost on immigration in the 2024 election because President Joe Biden took advice from the “idiotic far-left.” Border officials encountered a record-high of over 2 million illegal immigrants throughout Biden’s term in office, prompting concerns about immigration and drawing attention toward heinous crimes committed by illegal migrants. During an interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Carville said the far-left influenced the last administration to keep the border unsecured and caused the massive immigration crisis witnessed by Americans throughout the past four years.

A South Carolina man convicted of bludgeoning his ex-girlfriend's parents to death has become the first US death row inmate to be executed by firing squad in the last 15 years. Brad Sigmon was shot to death just after 18:00 local time (23:00 GMT) on Friday by three state corrections department volunteers firing rifles at his chest with specially designed bullets. Sigmon, 67, was convicted of murdering David and Gladys Larke with a baseball bat in 2001 before kidnapping his ex-girlfriend at gunpoint. She managed to escape as he shot at her.

Texas A&M University, which has been under consistent pressure from state lawmakers to clear out left-wing ideology from its campus, is now facing a Democrat-led campaign to force the school to bring back drag shows on campus. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Queer Empowerment Council (QEC), a student organization that hosts the drag show, Draggieland. “We refuse to let Texas A&M dictate which voices belong on campus,” a QEC statement reads. “Drag is self-expression, drag is discovery, drag is empowerment, and no amount of censorship will silence us.”

A judge ordered a Chicago landlord last month to pay $80,000 to former tenants after the landlord threatened to call ICE on them during a verbal dispute in June 2020, according to court documents. The case is the first to reach a judgment under the state’s 2019 Immigrant Tenant Protection Act, according to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which filed the case on behalf of the tenants. “Everyone has rights under the rule of law regardless of their actual or perceived immigration status.

Last night “Wolfman Al” couldn’t contain himself. Leaping from his seat, at the start of President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress, he set a disruptive tone. “You don’t have a mandate, you don’t have a mandate,” the Wolfman bellowed at Trump, all the while shaking his cane at the president. Immediately, Republicans began chanting “USA, USA” to drown out the obnoxious Green. Some weren’t as diplomatic. Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina reportedly told Green to “sit your a**” down,” while Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia yelled “throw him out.”

Chicago was founded by fur traders. Now, it might soon kick them out. An ordinance banning the sale of new fur products advanced in the City Council Tuesday, setting up a final vote as soon as next week. Ald. Raymond Lopez, the ban’s author, hopes the move will stifle the “barbaric and inhumane” fur industry, and said existing furriers need to evolve. “We know we can transition away from formerly live fur products,” Lopez, 15th, told aldermen.

CNN allowed former television show host Bill Nye to claim that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk wanted to replace the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) weather satellites with Starlink Monday. Roughly 880 staffers at NOAA, including many who were on probationary status, were laid off Thursday, CBS News reported, with some of the laid-off employees holding a protest outside the agency’s headquarters. Nye claimed Musk found a “vulnerable part” in the federal government to seize public assets for himself, but never offered evidence.

"Bruised but motivated," was how one of Volodymyr Zelensky's entourage described how they had been feeling, as a small group of journalists crammed into what felt like an even smaller room at Stansted Airport. The British state had done its best to give the Ukrainian president "all bells and whistles" when he arrived in the UK for a summit with 18 world leaders after his dressing down by Donald Trump and JD Vance on Friday night, a government source told me. He shared an embrace with Sir Keir Starmer outside No 10, where he was greeted with spontaneously cheering crowds, and met with King Charles for tea.

Democratic strategist James Carville made a bizarre claim Friday in a video suggesting that one of the reasons behind President Donald Trump’s reaction to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office could be syphilis. During a meeting at the Oval Office with Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Zelenskyy and other officials to discuss the U.S.’ potential mineral deal with Ukraine, tensions escalated after Zelenskyy publicly criticized the U.S. for not attempting to halt Russia.

We all know that one of the swamp’s most high-profile ‘revolving doors’ is the former-government-official-to-cable-news-talking-head. Whether it’s ex-spooks gracing CNN panels as “national security analysts” or former White House press secretary Jen Psaki landing her own show on MSNBC, the pipeline is not only lucrative but also the most blatant example of how the swamp and D.C. media reward each other’s failures.

The New York Times has crowned a fresh Resistance leader to fight back against the fascist Trump/Musk administration: a former establishment neoliberal posing as a populist who makes Hillary Clinton look like a rogue libertarian strapped with an AR-15. Okay, not actually, though. The new prince in question, Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, is pretty much the male version of Clinton and embodies everything that has made the Democratic Party’s brand unpalatable in the Trump era. Elitist career politician? Check. Pedantic user of the notorious d-word, ‘democracy’? Check.
