The Bank of England has decided that Winston Churchill, Alan Turing, and Jane Austen are too controversial to appear on British banknotes. So they're replacing them with frogs.
I’m not kidding. Frogs. And foxes. And dolphins. And puffins.
The Bank announced it would phase out portraits of historical figures in favor of native wildlife imagery on its next banknote series.
The official explanation was “security,” but we all know better than to believe that. Writing in The Telegraph earlier this week, Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, said: "The Bank's foremost objective is the security of our banknotes, which includes tackling the threat from counterfeiting."

A dozen people were shot and wounded when two gunmen started firing at each other at a family-friendly festival in Ohio on Saturday, officials and reports said.
Cops responded to chaos unfolding at the Old West End Festival in Toledo around 5:40 p.m., according to a statement local police shared on X.
In video of the incident, at least 16 shots could be heard ringing out as people screamed and dove for cover.
Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said originally eight people were shot and left with non-life-threatening wounds, according to WTOL 11 TV.
Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman is roughly one percentage point away from leapfrogging Republican candidate Spencer Pratt in the L.A. mayoral race with 78% of votes counted. After slowly gaining on Pratt for several days, Raman, a Democrat, is still sitting in third with 26.21% of the vote, Saturday night’s latest election numbers show. Pratt, a reality TV star, is now clinging to second with 27.32% of the vote. (Snip) On Saturday morning, Pratt held 28.24% of the vote in the June primary, while Raman trailed by multiple points at 24.89%. She has since gained significant ground in the
The American medical establishment spent years insisting that puberty blockers were safe and reversible, that gender transition saved young lives, and that anyone who questioned the science was a bigot. A new peer-reviewed paper suggests the “science” used to justify the barbaric procedures was the problem all along.
According to a report from Just the News, a critical review published May 30, 2026, in the European Journal of Developmental Psychology concluded that "three decades of 'Dutch Protocol' research has not produced reliable evidence." The Dutch Protocol is the foundational framework for medically transitioning kids suffering from gender confusion.
Clinicians in the Netherlands,
There's an update on our Salem colleague Dennis Prager, and while details are scant, I reckon our readers would want to know what's out there even if it is still unconfirmed reporting at this hour. According to a new report released on Friday. ChurchLeaders editor Jesse T. Jackson wrote: Well-known conservative radio host Dennis Prager, 77, founder of the conservative educational media platform PragerU, is reportedly currently hospitalized with pneumonia and blood clots in his lungs. ChurchLeaders was informed of Prager’s most recent hospitalization through a credible source who was granted anonymity to discuss the matter.
Donald Trump slammed Barack Obama's new $850 million presidential library, with a photoshopped prediction that it would be surrounded by homeless camps within ten years.
A 'giant trash can' is just one of the unflattering comparisons the new center has been called ahead of its opening on the South Side of Chicago on June 19.
And Trump weighed in by posting a photo of the library with a garbage bag on top and homeless encampments surrounding it to Truth Social on Saturday.
Trump wrote over the AI-generated image: 'The Barack Hussein Obama Library, in 10 years, when fully matured!'
The jury that acquitted OJ Simpson in the 1995 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman had nine members who were black. That is all that one needs to know about the case to infer the verdict. The prosecutor’s argument and evidence, including the bloody glove, were beside the point. The verdict was preordained the moment that the jury was chosen. It says a lot about our jury system, but it says even more about a society in which blacks view justice through a racial lens.
I experienced it firsthand when I sat on a jury determining the guilt of a black former felon who was standing trial for
A Sleeping Pill Called Heresy

The attempt to bridge the differences between religions in order to make religion generic has been an ongoing obsession of religious reformers that have a progressive bent of mind. Such a one-size-fits-all type of religion has found its way into many churches, reaching even the Vatican, where it has caused confusion, disorder, and disunity among Catholics. I think this tells us all we need to know about “progressive” church reform: it is a way to ruin churches, not improve them.
There is no limit to the degradation that comes from the call from liberals for “inclusion,” hypocritically joined with the exclusion of Christians that follow the Gospel. It gives faithful Christians
Jan. 3, 2027 will be a historic day. Barring some unforeseeable circumstance, when the fateful day comes around, Hisham “Adam” Hamawy will become the first member of the United States House of Representatives to have worked for a group linked to al-Qaeda, and to have served as a defense witness for a jihad terror leader. The way the Democrat Party is going, he likely won’t be the last. And so America must face the reality: the enemies are well inside the gates, and inside the corridors of power as well. The conquest is well underway. Hamawy knows how to play the game.
The DOJ’s Broken Windows

Disgraced former FBI director James Comey has been indicted for posting “86 47.” The DoJ has also opened an investigation of E. Jean Carroll for lying under oath about the financial backing for her lawsuit against Donald Trump. Has the DoJ implemented Rudy Giuliani’s “broken window” strategy, or is it something much bigger?
The radicals are reacting predictably. They’ve stopped screaming, “No one is above the law.” Now they’re behaving as though their anthill just got kicked. The lefties are howling that Trump is wasting federal resources on personal vendettas — while hoping we don’t remember Merrick Garland and Jack Smith.
In spite of their protestations,

Turning Point USA is holding a Women's Leadership Conference in San Antonio, TX, over the weekend. Erika Kirk and Riley Gaines are among the women at the event.
But the event also drew the attention of radical leftists, who were angry about the event, claiming it was somehow harming "feminism." (X) The full post reads:
HAPPENING NOW: Far-left activists are preparing to march towards the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter to protest @TPUSA and @MrsErikaKirk

They claim the event “actively harms feminist movements” and insist “hateful obstructions to feminism” are not welcome in San Antonio.
McDonald's customers could soon find themselves placing orders with an AI system. The chain is currently piloting an AI-powered drive-thru ordering platform called ArchIQ at five US locations. The effort falls under a broader brand initiative known as McDonald's Next, which was unveiled earlier this week. At the launch, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski stated that customers shouldn't have to choose between "hospitality or speed,” per Fox Business. An X account representing a McDonald's franchisee indicated that Google is involved in the project.
We have known for some time that our federal employees have cushy lives compared to the people for whom they work (us). What is particularly infuriating is that so many of them either don’t pay their taxes or are seriously delinquent on what they owe their employer—the federal government.
Recently, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found in a new report showing that 6.9% of federal employees are delinquent on their IRS taxes. That amounts to about 215,000 employees. This is a marked increase in three short years from 4.9%. It is appalling that the rate was previously as high as it was, but it has now hit crisis level,
Former first lady Dr. Jill Biden gave an update on former President Joe Biden’s cancer on Saturday, saying that though the 83-year-old will live with cancer for the rest of his life, he maintains a busy schedule, but has slowed down.
Biden explained during a discussion with political commentator and “The View” co-host Ana Navarro for her new book “View From the East Wing: A Memoir,” that while her husband was still president and had a team of doctors, she mentioned that he was getting up seven times a night to go to the bathroom, and she assumed that someone would follow up on that.
The Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Elder Justice Coordinating Council (EJCC) has adopted a sweeping Federal Elder Justice Action Plan and is launching an aggressive “Never, Ever” awareness and prevention campaign, a powerful MAHA-aligned move to protect seniors’ dignity under Trump’s leadership.
“When federal agencies work together to streamline oversight and administrative processes, it strengthens protections for vulnerable seniors while improving accountability across the aging services continuum,” President and CEO of LeadingAge South Carolina, Kassie South, told Just The News.
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has told Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) officials and international oil company executives that Baghdad is prepared to provide security guarantees to facilitate the rapid resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region.
Zaidi is expected to visit Washington next month for a White House meeting with President Donald Trump, who supported his appointment as prime minister.
Ahead of the visit, Zaidi is seeking to demonstrate progress on key US priorities, including curbing Iran-backed militias and resolving longstanding financial and energy disputes between the federal government, the KRG, and U.S. energy firms operating in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

electors case replies
The Arizona Supreme Court declined to review a case against the state's 11 fake electors who attempted to help President Donald Trump overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election.
In 2024, an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 people who signed a document granting Arizona's electoral votes to Trump on fraud charges. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows were among those indicted, AZ Mirror reported.
Attorneys for the fake electors said in a trial court that the indictments were invalid. The jurors weren't given a copy of the 1887 Electoral Count Act, which the attorneys argued absolved them of any wrongdoing.
It’s ironic how the lies related to George Floyd’s death led to murder in Great Britain. They will probably finally lead to the ouster of Keir Starmer and the ravaging of the UK’s Labour Party which bought those lies and capitalized on them.
George Floyd, a lifelong criminal and narcotic addict, died of fentanyl poisoning, but in a disgusting miscarriage of justice, his death while in custody was used to imprison innocent law enforcement officers, fund the crooked Black Lives Matter, and justify countless riots, which mostly harmed black citizens and put black-owned enterprises out of business.
For years, Denver was one of America's great success stories. Drawn by its snow-capped mountain backdrop, thriving economy and coveted outdoor lifestyle, thousands of Americans flocked to Colorado's capital during and after the pandemic. Home prices surged, cranes filled the skyline and developers raced to keep up with demand. Today, the picture looks dramatically different. Downtown office towers sit eerily empty. Storefronts remain vacant.
“It’s clear the fix is in.” Those words from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). came with her vote against confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Warren was outraged that her fellow senators refused to believe a woman who came forward with a decades-old allegation against Kavanaugh that lacked any corroboration.
It now appears that Kavanaugh’s former accusers are making the case that he was treated unjustly at their hands. At least they are now willing to swap “Me Too” for Maine.
Warren’s words were part of a mantra from Democratic members that either you believe women about sexual harassment and assault, or you are enabling abusers.

The 45-second clip shows a black “orb” with a dangling string in the fighter jet’s crosshairs for just a few seconds before it is blown apart. “The F16 shot at
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is increasingly concerned about Israel ramping up its spying on the U.S., recently raising the counterintelligence threat level from America’s top ally in the Middle East to the highest level, according to two U.S. officials and one former U.S. official. The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks issued the new counterintelligence threat assessment amid rising tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials said. They said the DIA posted an internal message, viewed by one of the current officials, that raised the level for Israel to “critical.”

If you have been following the race for mayor of Los Angeles, you have probably noticed that Spencer Pratt’s lead is slowly being eroded and Nithya Raman, the far left Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate keeps gaining.
The explanation for this is very simple. It’s fraud. Raman is benefiting from the state’s system of mail-in ballots, which SOMEHOW always benefits the left. Isn’t it fascinating how ballots that are tabulated after the election always benefit just one side?
NBC News recently admitted this on the air, without a hint of irony.
