the gutter

This has been a great week for journalism. Yes, I know what you’re thinking as you read that sentence. Humphrys has finally lost it. Too many early mornings on Today and half a century of being on the front line of news reporting and presenting have finally taken their toll. The poor chap obviously hasn’t been paying attention to what’s been going on.In the past 48 hours the nation has been exposed to a litany of revelations that have shocked anyone with even a smidgeon of concern about the future of journalism in this great country.The most sensational interview with the most famous woman of her time turns out

The vast majority of the late Rush Limbaugh’s fans are under no illusions that anyone in the talk radio business now or at any time in the near future can replace his combo of political insight, wit, humor, and analysis.The reality is, no one in the conservative talk radio industry is going to try to replace Rush. They know better than anyone that it simply can’t be done: How do you replace a human being so good at what he did he literally is irreplaceable? Nevertheless, there is a talk show host who will be moving into Limbaugh’s old time slot, 12 noon-3 p.m. Monday through Friday,

A $47,000-a-year private school once attended by Barron Trump forced juniors to attend a compulsory workshop on porn, whose subjects included incest roleplay and OnlyFans. The students at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School (CGPS) on Manhattan's Upper West Side were told to watch a slideshow entitled, 'Pornography Literacy: An intersectional focus on mainstream porn.' That workshop was held on May 5 by Justine Ang Fonte, the director of Health & Wellness at another Manhattan private school, Dalton, where she teaches first- and second-grade health.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki seemed to admit late last week that, contrary to what actually happened, as far as President Joe Biden is concerned a “number” of U.S. Capitol Police officers died on the day of the Jan. 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol.She offered the unusual admission after being asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins to remark on an emotional letter recently written to all members of the U.S. government by a Capitol police officer who’d been injured during the riot.“I’m happy to check on the status of the letter. Obviously, the president’s view is that there are a number of officers who lost their lives, paid a
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Joe Biden is working to lift sanctions on Iran even though Iran funds terror around the world. President Trump withdrew from Obama’s disastrous and dangerous Iran nuke deal, imposed sanctions on Iran and killed their top General Qasem Soleimani.Now the Biden Administration, colloquially referred to as Obama’s 3rd term, is working to lift sanctions on Iran. Blinken told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that Biden will continue to negotiate with Iran even thought they are funding Hamas terrorists.
A reputed gang member who used a stolen car to permanently disable an NYPD cop was busted for reckless driving in another ride he’d allegedly swiped early Sunday — with just weeks left to go on his parole, The Post has learned.Justin Murrell, 19, allegedly blew through a red light in Brooklyn and led cops on a high-speed chase before smashing into several parked cars near Van Sinderen and New Lots avenues in East New York, law-enforcement sources said.The teenage ex-con — a reputed member of the Eight Trey Crips gang — then tried to run away, but was caught and taken into custody around 1:20 a.m., sources said.
Nearly 30 people have been shot across New York City this weekend — with nearly half a day left to go, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Sunday.As of around 2 p.m. Sunday, 29 victims had been struck by gunfire — one fatally — since Friday, with 11 wounded in just the hours after Saturday ended, sources said. A veteran NYPD source blamed most of the shootings on gang warfare, saying, “These kids are having running gun battles and innocents are getting shot.”“Nobody is interested in hearing how many shots are fired but if people knew how many shootings occurred where there are no victims
Science.The Rat-in-a-Trap Dr. Fauci finally admitted in his latest flip-flop that the COVID-19 virus may not have occurred naturally.Fauci made the comments on far-left Politifact channel, an organization that itself has been pushing fake news on the COVID crisis for over a year. Politifact hack: Sen. Rand Paul, who you have tangled with in the past, suggested that you and the NIH funded risky research that eventually down the line was connected to COVID-19? I don’t want to dwell on this for too long but I do want to give you that chance to react to his comments today.

The controversial city leader defended herself after being blasted by union president John Catanzara.Lightfoot, who hit the headlines earlier this week for refusing to do one-on-one interviews with white journalists, said: 'Getting a vote of no confidence from that guy is a badge of honor, and I accept it,'There are always going to be critics; that goes with the territory.

At least 12 people have died and two children have been seriously injured after a horror accident in which a mountaintop cable car plunged to the ground in northern Italy. The cable car is thought to have come off while taking passengers to the top of the Stresa-Mottarone line in the Piedmont region earlier today.

The cable car links the town to the top of Mottorone.It is believed the cable car, which takes around 20 minutes to reach the 5,000ft high mountain station, was about 1,000ft from its destination when it plunged to

Scott Thatcher and his wife Angela were born in California and love the sun-kissed Golden State. But two months ago they sold their home, packed up their belongings and travelled 1,700 miles with their three sons to start a new life in Texas.Despite earning good salaries with secure jobs as a driver and a nurse, the family’s combined income of about $140,000 (£99,000) a year was not enough to prosper in their town of Modesto, about 90 minutes east of San Francisco.‘We were surviving but not thriving,’ said Scott, 35. ‘We were getting by but it felt like we would never really get ahead.’The pandemic was the final straw \
From the beginning of COVID's outbreak in China, there's been a steady drumbeat of information saying the Chinese created COVID in a lab and, accidentally or on purpose, unleashed it on the world. The World Health Organization, the Democrats, the Deep State, and the tech tyrants managed to suppress that information in 2020, but it's roared back this year. Tucker Carlson put the pieces together in his opening monologue and, with help from Chinese scientist Li-Meng Yan, makes it plain that, even if China didn't deliberately release the virus, it turned it into a weapon of biological warfare by withholding information about it.
Here's Tucker's monologue.
Police departments in the Washington area are turning to mental health experts to help handle certain emergencies as they grapple with the role of law enforcement in the post-George Floyd era. Unarmed teams of behavioral health experts in the District soon will be dispatched to certain 911 calls instead of police under a new pilot program. “The sooner we can identify what a person needs—whether that is an ambulance, a doctor’s appointment, or in this case, a visit from a behavioral health expert, the sooner we can help them,” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a statement this week. Baltimore is taking a similar step

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough went on an unhinged rant during his show Morning Joe, demanding that Trump supporters leave the US and be replaced by immigrants. Of course, any time someone on the right asserts that the Democrat Party is attempting to replace American voters they are called racist, bigoted, conspiracy theorists.“America, love it or leave it! . . . Just leave . . . Get the h**l out! We don’t want you here,” Scarborough shouted. (Tweet/Video)

Senator Tim Kaine, who claims to be a Catholic, has compared the church’s teachings on abortion to Sharia Law.
In an op-ed for the far-left National Catholic Reporter, Kaine was arguing against bishops who want to withhold communion from Joe Biden over his radical abortion policies.
“Catholics in public life not only live according to church doctrine but additionally shape the law, even to include the threat of criminal prosecution and punishment, to enshrine church doctrine on sexuality as mandatory for all Americans is contrary to our basic liberty,” he wrote. “Why would government require that Catholic sexuality doctrine, or Sharia law,
In Detroit, auto plants have for decades churned out trucks built with Motor City steel and fueled by gasoline. But this week’s rollout of the Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck offered a vision of the future in America’s automotive heartland: aluminum-clad pickups running off of electric powertrains with lithium batteries. (Snip) “There’s no EV pickup market at the moment, so we just don’t know how big it could be, or what consumer acceptance will be,” she said. Truck consumers are generally unwilling to switch to cars just to go electric, Krebs said. So pitching them on the Lightning not only
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Saturday he was opening a new grant of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians living in the U.S., saying that country’s unrest is so bad that people shouldn’t be forced to return home. Advocacy groups said perhaps 100,000 Haitians living in the U.S.—many of them illegally—can be protected. TPS grants them a deportation amnesty and allows them to obtain legal work permits, Social Security numbers and some taxpayer benefits. “Haiti is currently experiencing serious security concerns, social unrest, an increase in human rights abuses, crippling poverty, and lack of basic resources, which are exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic,”
