As our editor Bob Hoge so ably reported, a woman named Tish Hyman went on a profanity-laced rant at Gold's Gym after she was subjected to a beans and sausage display in the women's restroom, just as she stepped out of the shower, soaking wet and naked. Of course, the person in question, Alexis Black, claims to be transitioning; (Snip) And with media attention comes media scrutiny. In a New York Post exclusive, the publication discovered that before Alexis Black transitioned, Kyle Grant Freeman assaulted his then-wife, ironically also named "Alexis," and fractured her jaw. The real Alexis required surgery to repair the damage.
‘Stupid Should Hurt More’: Sen. Kennedy’s

Savage Response to Schumer Over Latest
Shutdown Proposal replies
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) had a savage response to his fellow Democrat leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY), offering to reopen the government, and said it involves needing "bail money" if God were to give him strength rather than patience after hearing it.
On Friday, Schumer announced his proposal, in which he said that he and his Democrat colleagues would agree to reopen the government if, and only if, the Republicans extended COVID-19-era Obama-care subsidies for another year, and then they could sit down to negotiate with the GOP to deal with healthcare costs.
The Democrats’ Schumer Shutdown and their continuing refusal to fund the government isn’t the only big story coming out of Washington, D.C. Friday evening – Fox News Digital is reporting that a federal grand jury out of the Southern District of Florida has served subpoenas on notorious former FBI agent Peter Strzok and his onetime paramour, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
A total of up to 30 subpoenas are expected to be handed down on numerous individuals involved with the fake Russia collusion investigations into Donald Trump in the Crossfire Hurricane operation.
There were two interconnected stories concerning Condé Nast publishing this week, and many of the problems with our contemporary media are at the center of it all. It was another case of an outlet facing constriction, and it led to another example of the new class of journalists infecting the industry with activist, near anti-social mindsets in the workplace.
To start, if you missed the melodrama, the announcement was made earlier this week that the hyper-leftist source Teen Vogue was being diluted, with much of its editorial team being let go, and any lingering staff and content would be folded into the parent publication. Over the years,
WASHINGTON -- As Democrats savor their Election Day victories, some are capitalizing on the victory of New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani and calling out party leaders for snubbing progressives, warning that alienating the left could cost them crucial House seats needed to take control and counter President Donald Trump’s agenda. (Snip) “There are no people, I think right now, who have a worse read on what electable means and less of a pulse on voters than the Democratic establishment,” said Morris Katz, who managed Mamdani’s campaign. He was then asked if anyone cared that Schumer did not endorse in
Senate Democrats again blocked a plan by Republicans to ensure that federal workers and the military would receive a paycheck as the shutdown back and forth revs into high gear. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., again tried to advance a modified version of his "Shutdown Fairness Act" bill that would see federal workers and the military paid now and during subsequent government shutdowns.
Last month, it was blocked over concerns from Senate Democrats that it did not include furloughed workers.
Johnson noted on the Senate floor that after discussions with Senate Democrats he changed the bill to include furloughed workers, and that his legislation had the backing of several federal employee unions.

The real estate business in South Florida is booming with residents of New York City looking to relocate as the political climate in the Big Apple appears to be taking a hard left turn, a developer told Fox Business.
The CEO of BH Group in Miami, Isaac Toledano, explained that his company “has closed more than $100 million in signed contracts from New York buyers in just the past few months – about twice last year’s volume,” and he believes a lot of it has to do with politics, the outlet reported Wednesday.
He said, “I think the election accelerated how people make decisions. I think people are nervous [for] what’s coming,
The Trump Administration is unmasking Antifa.
While leaders of blue sanctuary states plot to pull the masks off ICE and Border Patrol agents, even as death threats against them have gone up by 8,000%, the Trump Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is imposing new rules on Antifa and other violent protesters. The net effect would rip off Antifa's masks and Teletubby costumes on or near federal property.
The violent protesters who have been amassing outside the ICE headquarters in Portland since June were reportedly notified of the nationwide rules that forbid them from hiding their identities while on or near federal facilities like the ICE property.
Who would have thunk it? Marjorie Taylor Greene, Morning Joe's favorite Republican member of Congress! But with her recent moves to distance herself from President Trump and the GOP at large, MTG is winning Morning Joe hearts and minds. The latest came today. After the show aired Trump's pointed criticism of Nancy Pelosi in reaction to her announcement that she would not be seeking re-election, and Speaker Mike Johnson's less critical but not flattering comments, the show aired MTG saying: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term
There it was this morning, plain as day. It was a screenshot of a woman going off about how her food stamps were cut off, the $1,000 per month she and her family supposedly get from the government, juxtaposed against her being called out by someone else for hair extensions, expensive trips to the nail salon, and tattoos. In short, she wastes money on unnecessary things and then demands money from the government to support herself.
She's squandering money on luxuries while relying on the taxpayers to fund her groceries for anywhere between four and seven people in her household.
And worse, there's no sense of shame among many of these people.
Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, announced on Thursday that the United States military has conducted its 17th strike on a suspect narco terrorist vessel traveling on the Caribbean Sea. The strike killed three people, and as usual, no U.S. forces were harmed.
The total number of narco terrorists from South America killed in the strikes is now up to 69.
As we’ve said before, vessel strikes on narco-terrorists will continue until their the poisoning of the American people stops. Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization.
The White House has asked a federal appeals court to issue an emergency block, after a federal judge ruled on Thursday that the administration would have to pay full Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) payments in full amid the longest government shutdown in United States history.
Judge Jack McConnell of the U.S. District Court in Rhode Island rejected the Trump administration’s request to pay only 65 percent of SNAP benefits this month. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a $5 billion contingency fund for emergencies like the Schumer Shutdown, but that amount falls short of the $8.5 to $9 billion needed to fully fund monthly SNAP payments.
Scott Jennings delivered an epic mic-drop moment on CNN’s The Arena Thursday night, turning what began as a polite discussion about Nancy Pelosi’s legacy into a brutal, hilarious smackdown.
Host Kasie Hunt teed up the conversation by asking how Republicans view Pelosi. “Obviously, the president… they have their sort of animosity,” she said, noting that while Pelosi angered many on Capitol Hill, some Republicans had “grudging respect” for her political skills.
Jennings didn’t disagree — but he wasn’t about to let the conversation end with flattery. “Oh, yeah,” he said. “There were people who respected her legislative ability. I mean, she was the boss of her conference.”
The Schumer Shutdown is doing more than showing us government waste; it's showing us the corruption of American culture. What we've known was behind the curtain the whole time is now on full display for all to see.
I wrote earlier this week about local spots stepping up to care for their neighbors in need, and the comments are fantastic. One of the lines that seemed to resonate with readers was "Little Sally loves popsicles! It's simple: pour orange juice into a paper cup, put a stick in the cup, put the cup in the freezer, wait two hours."
It was never about families. An illegal alien father in Indiana who agreed to self-deport was supposed to have his child with him. The Indianapolis school district said no, just so it could thumb its nose at ICE.
Democrats are perfectly happy for children to be trafficked and shipped all around the country to suspicious individuals not related to them, which is how the Biden administration lost track of over 320,000 children. But if an illegal alien father wants to take his child with him as he leaves America, or if immigration authorities say families should be kept together in deportation, leftists scream bloody murder.

Trump’s Success replies
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) is opening up hiring to an array of personnel, including those who left during the administration of President Joe Biden, to sustain the success of CBP under President Donald Trump, a top adviser tells Breitbart News.
Breitbart News caught up with Senior Adviser Ron Vitiello, who formerly served as chief of border patrol and acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, on Thursday in the nation’s capital.
“There’s a lot going on” at CBP, Vitiello said. “The Reconciliation gives us an opportunity to hire a lot more frontline personnel, some office staff, as well as professional staff. But the story at the border is even better.”
We can draw a few conclusions from an off-year election, when iconic races in blue states went, as expected, overwhelmingly Democratic.
Nevertheless, there is only a year left before the midterms. So Republicans must react to even these paltry results.
1) Democrats' chaotic nihilism still works. The chaos strategy causes so much turmoil, noise, and negative media coverage that the confused voting public simply cannot sort it all out. The public wishes the upheaval would just go away and often blames those with the most current authority -- logically, the incumbent Trump and his administration.
Remember the virtue-signaling yard signs a few years ago? In rainbow colors, they shouted self-congratulatory platitudes like:
“HATE DOESN’T LIVE HERE”
Except that the residents of the house hated anyone who disagreed with them.
“NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL”
As if the phrase “illegal immigrant” is synonymous with the phrase “illegal human.”
“BLACK LIVES MATTER”
In view of the colossal rip-offs committed by the organization of that name, this one didn’t age well.
“WATER IS LIFE”
Except it’s not; water is a simple molecule of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Saying “water is life” is like saying “aluminum is an airplane.”
“SCIENCE IS REAL”
Well, that was a depressing election day, wasn’t it?
The big three (plus two) 2025 elections have all been tabulated, and the Democrats won bigly.
New Jersey Governor
In New Jersey, the Democrats won a yuge race for governor. Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11), despite being a terrible candidate according to normal candidate metrics, beat Republican Jack Ciattarelli 56.3 percent to 43.2 percent.
My prediction was totally off here, as I assumed that the Republican nominee would win a narrow majority or plurality. In this race, Democrats broke a historical trend going back to 1961,
One line from New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech Tuesday seemed to epitomize the egalitarian socialist bent of his successful campaign to many.
“Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics of our city, who made this movement their own,” he said. “I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas. Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties. Yes, aunties.” [snip]
Whatever the case, it didn’t take long for the privileged son of academics to prove that the whole prolier-than-thou act was indeed an act and decamp to the Caribbean for a liberal junket.
Something strange happened in New Jersey on election night, and the numbers just don't add up. Republican Jack Ciattarelli lost the gubernatorial race to Democratic Representative Mikie Sherrill by a stunning 56% to 43% margin, a blowout that left pollsters scratching their heads and conservatives asking hard questions about what really went down in the Garden State.
This was supposed to be a competitive race. Trump only lost the state by six points a year prior, and, if you were following this race, you know that Ciattarelli had momentum heading into Election Day, picking up endorsements from local Democrats and labor unions along the way.
This was the only gubernatorial contest

Zohran Mamdani, a lunatic-fringe leftist, won election as mayor of New York by addressing the cost of living and making Hugo Chavez-like promises of free goodies for all.
The latter will be a disaster, but the fact that the Trump administration officials are now focusing on the cost of living, too, suggests that all may not be a "golden age" as the administration has been promoting.

For most Americans, a U.S. lawmaker with onerous student loan debt pushing for debt forgiveness would be viewed as a conflict of interest. For at least one U.S. representative, it’s apparently a non-issue — and the American Accountability Foundation is livid about it. According to the Daily Wire, Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has been accused by the watchdog group over a number of issues. In a scathing letter sent to House Speaker Mike Johnson, American Accountability Foundation President Thomas Jones outed Omar’s dubious finances — and “bully” reputation. “We are writing today to share serious concerns about abuse of office and abuse of government loans
Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling for more taxes on big companies in his 2026 budget proposal. Under the mayor’s plan, businesses in Chicago with more than 100 employees would have to pay $21 for each employee every month. Johnson said the extra charge would generate $100 million to fund local services like violence prevention. But it’s sparking heated debate as critics say the tax would hurt the local economy. Johnson defended the plan in a news conference Thursday, saying companies should invest more in the city. He told reporters that the tax would only impact 3% of the city’s largest
