A New Jersey mayor accused of drunk driving allegedly drove her toddler home from day care on St. Patrick’s Day, nearly crashing on the road only days after resigning from her job with another town. Lumberton Township leader Gina LaPlaca was arrested for her alleged booze-induced stunt on March 17 after she picked up her 2-year-old son from day care. The 45-year-old Democrat was allegedly captured on video by another driver swerving all over the road, nearly crashing into a utility pole before the footage was shared with police, WPVI reported, citing charging documents.

NASA forked over more than $20 million in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) grants and contracts during the Biden administration, shelling out for “implicit bias” trainings, talks with so-called “anti-racist” authors, “gender-affirming” workplace guidelines and an aggressive, left-wing media presence. Prodded by executive action from former President Joe Biden, NASA officials also implemented a strategic plan to suffuse all agency operations with DEI, altering criteria for recruitment, performance evaluations and promotions. The taxpayer-watchdog group Open The Books revealed the politicization of the space agency in a report published Wednesday, which shares a trove of documents obtained from various public records requests.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — If Tiger Woods’ career as a competitor on the PGA Tour wasn’t already virtually over before Tuesday, it’s difficult to believe that it isn’t now. The 49-year-old 15-time major champion announced on Tuesday that he underwent surgery after rupturing his left Achilles tendon while training at home. Woods, who hasn’t played a tournament since last July in the 2024 British Open, at which he missed the cut, was believed to be gearing himself up to play in next month’s Masters.
ABC News “entirely gutted” the staff working on the third hour of its flagship morning show “Good Morning America” — also known as “GMA3” — as part of the layoffs that were mandated by corporate parent Walt Disney Co, according to a report.
Catherine McKenzie, the executive producer of “GMA3,” was let go as part of the layoffs that were announced by network boss Almin Karamehmedovic, according to the Status newsletter.
Failed 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has said he would “certainly consider” running for president in 2028 — despite his crushing defeat alongside then-Vice President Kamala Harris this past November. “Look, I never had an ambition to be president or vice president. I was honored to be asked,” the Minnesota governor told “the New Yorker Radio Hour” on Sunday. “If I feel I can serve, I will. And if nationally, people are like, ‘Dude we tried you, and look how that worked out,’ I’m good with that.” “If I think I could offer something … I would certainly consider that.”
Don’t wait until the eleventh hour! Daylight saving time starts at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 9, for most of the US, meaning that we spring forward and lose an hour to make better use of daylight and save energy. DST — which lasts until Sunday, Nov. 2 — is controversial in part because research indicates it can significantly upend our sleep-wake cycle, potentially increasing the risk of heart attacks and stroke. The good news is that we can take time this week to minimize the impact on our schedule and body.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has met with King Charles following an emergency summit with European leaders in London, where he was urged to repair his relationship with President Trump. The Ukrainian leader, wearing all black, was pictured shaking hands with a beaming king outside of his Sandringham country estate after traveling from the British capital by helicopter. Zelensky was “warmly received” by the king, although the exact details of what the pair discussed were not revealed, as per royal policy on such meetings, a Buckingham Palace official said.
The American tourist accused of throwing her newborn out a second-story window of a Paris hotel, killing the infant, has been identified as an 18-year-old Oregon woman who was traveling with a $43,000-a-year gap year agency, according to a report. Mia McQuillin, 18, was part of “a group of young people traveling in Europe” as part of a gap year between high school and college when she gave birth inside the ibis Styles hotel in the city’s administrative district, French authorities told the DailyMail

What a rock-block. An award-winning UK scientist warns that it might be too late to deflect the “city killer” asteroid that’s headed toward Earth. Deflection efforts “might not be able to stop 2024 YR4,” cautioned Dr. Robin George Andrews, a London-based volcanologist and author, in a chilling X post blowing up online. Discovered hurtling through our galaxy in December 2024, the building-sized space rock is reportedly at the top of NASA’s watch list when it comes to deep space dangers, boasting a 1-in-43 chance of striking Earth in 2032.
The Chinese balloon that sparked panic when it flew over the US two years ago was, as long suspected, set up to spy on Americans — but surprisingly with US-made technology, according to a new report. The 200-foot-tall balloon was loaded with a satellite communication module, sensors and other technology from at least five American firms, two sources with direct knowledge of a classified US military report told Newsweek. The craft — which floated from Alaska over Canada and into the US Midwest before it was shot down off the coast of South Carolina on Feb. 4, 2023 — could have collected detailed data on oblivious Americans, the sources said

A federal judge has indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members, dealing a major defeat to a controversial policy the president resurrected from his first term.
In a scathing ruling, US District Judge Ana Reyes said the administration cannot enforce the ban — which was set to take effect later this month.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama donned a new hairdo during her latest podcast interview with Hollywood actor Seth Rogan.
Michelle Obama launched a new podcast with her brother, Craig Robinson, and it’s a total flop.
The new venture, the “IMO” podcast, was launched by Higher Ground, the Obamas’ media company.
The latest episode titled, “Navigating Alzheimer’s Disease with Seth and Lauren Rogan” only garnered 7,100 views in 15 hours.
A former First Lady and Hollywood actor still can’t drum up viewers. Americans are done with anti-American elitists.
Chuck Schumer Admits He Wakes Up at 3 AM Worried About Elon Musk and 'Oligarchs'
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has sparked a wave of reactions after admitting that he sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night worried about the future of the country, specifically mentioning “oligarchs” and suggesting that Elon Musk is one of his main concerns.
During a conversation addressing his anxieties over the influence of certain powerful figures in the US, Schumer stated:
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Source” that every American should be frightened because President Donald Trump did not “respect our Constitution.”
Sanders said, “Look, you know, the guys who wrote the Constitution back in the 1790s when nobody’s fools, what they wanted to do is have a separation of powers between the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary so that one person could not assume enormous power. And what you are seeing right now is a president who is authoritarian. He just attacked the media the other day. I think he called CNN illegal because I gather that now and then, you criticize him.
In a poor neighbourhood of the Venezuelan city of Maracay, the mother of 24-year-old Francisco José García Casique was waiting for him on Saturday.
It had been 18 months since he had migrated to the US to begin a new life but he had told her that he was now being deported back to Caracas, Venezuela's capital, for being in the US illegally. They had spoken that morning, just before he was due to depart.
"I thought it was a good sign that he was being deported [to Caracas]," Myrelis Casique López recalled. She had missed her son deeply since he left home.
But he never arrived. And while watching a television
Tim Walz: Republicans Are Terrified of

Somehow, Tim Walz just keeps getting weirder. Since faceplanting as Kamala Harris' running mate, the Minnesota governor has been holding rallies and making the media rounds in a desperate attempt to boost his stock for a 2028 presidential run. How's that going? Not well, Bob. (Video) It's as if Walz was created in a lab by new DNC Vice Chair David Hogg to be the worst politician imaginable. With Harris still out there, presumably about to run for Governor of California, I understand that's a bold statement. She's a hard one to top, and maybe she'll hold onto the crown, but man is Walz an odd fellow who seemingly
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Prime” that the Republican Party was “at war with the government of the people.”
Raskin said, “The Republicans are in a full-blown attack on Medicaid. They want to cut $880 billion from the Medicaid program. Elon Musk has said Social Security, of course, is the big one. That’s the big target that they’re aiming for, and they are hollowing out all kinds of federal agencies and departments that the American people depend on, like NIH, which does the cutting edge medical research. And it’s now got swept up in their whole anti-science crusade. Same thing with, you know, the FAA.
Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) celebrated Tesla‘s declining stock while speaking to a Wisconsin crowd on Tuesday.
Walz was in the state for a campaign event on behalf of Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford. The event was in Eau Claire, which is Rep. Derrick Van Orden’s (R-WI) district. The winner will determine a liberal or conservative majority in the state’s highest court.
Crawford is running against Brad Schimel, who received campaign donations from PACs funded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This connection, which became the main theme of Crawford’s recent campaign ad, prompted Walz to mention the company.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) mocked so-called “greedy” Americans for wanting to keep more of their hard-earned money and wanting less government control over their lives.
During an episode on ABC’s The View on Tuesday, Schumer spoke about the recent government spending bill, which President Donald Trump recently signed. As Breitbart News previously reported, Schumer explained that he voted in favor of keeping the government open because a “Republican Senator told Democrats the plan was to ‘decimate the entire federal government.”
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a shot at Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday for his controversial vote with Republicans last week to avert a government shutdown.
Pelosi, during a press conference in San Francisco, affirmed that she had confidence in Schumer’s ability to lead the Democratic caucus in the Senate going forward, but argued that the Brooklyn Democrat made too many concessions to Republicans when he abruptly announced that he would vote to advance the GOP-crafted government funding bill.
“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s what happened the other day.”
Far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) sparked yet another political uproar after making a disgusting wish concerning the wealthiest man in the world.
As The Daily Beast reported, Crockett spoke Wednesday on a livestream organized by #TeslaTakedown, which has engaged in multiple actions designed to harm the company. These actions include recently protesting outside the vehicle manufacturer’s showrooms, urging Americans to sell their Teslas and dump the company’s stock.
The group is scheduled to hold its biggest day of economic sabotage on March 29.
As aspects of President Donald Trump's agenda are stymied by judges amid legal challenges, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has suggested that Congress could strip federal courts of jurisdiction. "Congress has the authority to strip jurisdiction of the federal courts to decide these cases in the first place. The sabotaging of President Trump’s agenda by ‘resistance’ judges was predictable — why no jurisdiction-stripping bills tee’d up at the onset of this Congress?" DeSantis wrote in a Wednesday post on X.
