LOS ANGELES — June Lockhart, who became a mother figure for a generation of television viewers whether at home in “Lassie” or up in the stratosphere in “Lost in Space,” has died. She was 100. Lockhart died Thursday of natural causes at her home in Santa Monica, family spokesman Lyle Gregory, a friend of 40 years, said Saturday. “She was very happy up until the very end, reading the New York Times and LA Times everyday,” he said. “It was very important to her to stay focused on the news of the day.” The daughter of prolific character actor Gene Lockhart,

Ah, another touchstone of childhood passes from this earth. June Lockhart had the ability to translate her warmth onto the screen. I watch the old movies on You Tube and have seen several of her early appearances. My favorite is her portrayal of Gary Cooper's sister in "Seargeant York". A true lady until the end. God grant unto her the Eternal Rest; and may the Perpetual Light shine upon her. Amen.

BUENOS AIRES - Early results in Argentina's legislative elections on Sunday showed a landslide victory for President Javier Milei as voters overwhelmingly backed his free-market reforms and deep austerity measures, providing a strong boost for the libertarian leader to continue his economic overhaul. The president's party, La Libertad Avanza, scored 41.5% of the vote in Buenos Aires province compared with 40.8% for the Peronist coalition, according to official results. The province has long been a political stronghold for the Peronists, marking a dramatic political shift

Barring something cataclysmic, Zohran Mamdani is going to be the next mayor of New York City, and he's beginning to realize that. It's difficult to say the mask was ever truly on with the 33-year-old communist nepo baby that has never held a real job, but with his latest moves, every bit of pretense is now dropping to the side. After all, why should he care about maintaining broad appeal when he's running in one of the most left-wing cities in the country, whose voters seem more than content to hand him the keys no matter what radical positions he takes?

Venezuela Accuses Trump of ‘Fabricating’

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro accused President Donald Trump of pushing for war against his country just a day after the Pentagon confirmed it had dispatched the world’s largest aircraft carrier to the region. In a national broadcast on Friday night, Maduro accused Trump of "fabricating a new eternal war" against Venezuela. "They promised they would never again get involved in a war and they are fabricating a war that we will avoid," said Maduro. "They are fabricating an extravagant narrative, a vulgar, criminal and totally fake one.” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said Friday that the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford, the largest aircraft carrier in the world, was being deployed to “dismantle

President Donald Trump participated in a phone interview with TIME at the White House on Oct. 15. Over the course of the interview, Trump discussed in detail how the ceasefire in Gaza came together and his view on where the region goes from here. Here's what Trump told TIME Senior Political Correspondent Eric Cortellessa. TIME: I want to start off by asking what do we not know about the behind-the-scenes events that led to this agreement? What were the turning points and key moments? Well, you know, you have 3,000 years of history, and in the case of the Middle East, there’s tremendous hatred, there's tremendous dislike, there's tremendous distrust among everybody.
Trump’s $130 million mystery military

A mystery donor whose $130 million contribution is meant to pay U.S. military troops during the government shutdown is Timothy Mellon, an heir to a renowned Gilded Age banking family, The New York Times reported Saturday. But Mellon’s donation works out to only about $100 per service member. It costs nearly $6.4 billion to pay U.S. troops every two weeks. And using his money might run afoul of federal law, according to the Times, which cited two people familiar with the matter in identifying the billionaire railroad magnate as the donor. When President Donald Trump announced the donation at the White House on Thursday, he did not name the man’s identity,

We're on the 24th day of the Schumer Shutdown, and the Democrats are continuing to vote against opening the government. But the Democrats are sending their people out to spin things as best they can. It is not going well for them. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8) appeared on CNBC, where he was crushed by the facts. This was priceless as host Becky Quick nuked the Democrats' argument on Obamacare subsidies.

Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said Friday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier, which was deployed in the Mediterranean, to the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility to help “dismantle Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) and counter narco-terrorism in defense of the Homeland.” Parnell wrote in a statement that the presence of the USS Gerald R.

HOUSTON, Texas — A Union Pacific railroad employee reported the discovery of a brush fire near a storage facility along an interstate highway in Houston. Firefighters responded and found the partially burned body of a man hanging by a rope from the overpass, police officials stated. The grim discovery of a man found hanging and partially burned beneath a Houston freeway Thursday night has drawn chilling parallels to cartel-style executions long documented by Breitbart’s Cartel Chronicles Project in northern Mexico, where bodies are often displayed in public as a message. While Houston police have not confirmed any connection to organized crime, investigators say the circumstances strongly suggest homicide,

There's applying pressure, and then there's PRESSURE. Donald Trump is an expert on both, and he is dumping tons of the latter on the tinpot tyrant of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. The raging authoritarian in charge of the failed narcostate has been a key portrait in the Trump bullseye ever since the administration was sworn in. Even though Maduro was a priority during his first administration, Trump Part Deux has a new focus and determination to not only shut down the drug and human trafficking pouring out of the country, but to do everything in his power to rid the country of Maduro's evil influence entirely.

Catherine Connolly, a pro-immigration self-avowed socialist running as an independent, won Ireland’s 2025 presidential election in a landslide Friday, defeating both of the nominees of the country’s two largest parties. Connolly, 68, pulled in a massive 63.4% of votes, dwarfing the 29.5% received by Fine Gael nominee Heather Humphreys and the 7.2% won by Fianna Fáil nominee Jim Gavin. In her victory speech, the socialist promised to be “an inclusive president” multiple times and expressed her desire to “shape a new republic … that values and champions diversity … and the new people that have come to our country.”

Wind power has been sold to us as an environmental utopia, with lower costs, but ends up being nothing of the sort in practice. With the aid of government subsidies, we are putting up electric generating windmills all over the place. Such subsidies include the Production Tax Credit (PTC), which, according to the Institute for Energy research (IRER), provides a per-kilowatt-hour tax credit for electricity generated by qualified wind projects; and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which provides a tax credit based on the investment made in renewable energy projects, including wind. According to IRER, trillions are being invested here. The United States, under the Biden-Harris climate bill,

Gun control in America’s northern neighbor has moved into confiscation phase, as Nova Scotia, Canada’s east coast province, kicked off a pilot program of “voluntary” gun buybacks in September, while the western provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan say they will not comply. The national ban was originally decreed by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government in 2020, covering 1,500 models of rifles, but has since been expanded to include more than 2,500 models. And while the ban is purported to cover “semi-automatic firearms with sustained rapid-fire capability,” the list of prohibited firearms also includes more traditional bolt-action rifles and shotguns commonly used in hunting.

The No Kings protests were a display of left-wing idiocy as participants dressed in costumes, chanted like ageing hippies at a Joan Baez concert, and held silly signs demanding that America have “no kings.” It would appear that they achieved their goal, since we haven’t been ruled by a monarch in 249 years. Great job, guys.

Putin hailed the test in a video released by the Kremlin while dressed in military fatigues, with the strongman calling on his top general to start preparing the Burevestnik missile for potential use. “We need to determine the possible uses and begin preparing the infrastructure for deploying these weapons to our armed forces,” Putin instructed.

For all the unity that the Democratic Party projects, there’s actually a lot of drama behind the scenes, and it’s nice to see the details finally come out. According to a new tell-all on last year’s campaign, Joe Biden spent the last weeks of his re-election meltdown dodging phone calls—not from reporters or donors, but from Barack Obama himself. For two full weeks before he finally bailed out last July, Biden reportedly refused to take his old boss’s calls. And get this: even after he quit, he gave Obama the cold shoulder for another month. It’s a far cry from the friendly dynamic Democrats once sold to the public. Remember the memes,

Multiple suspects have been arrested in connection with the theft of crown jewels from the Louvre Museum in Paris last weekend, French officials said Sunday. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said that investigators made the arrests on Saturday evening, including one man who was taken into custody as he was about to leave the country from Charles de Gaulle airport. Beccuau did not confirm the number of arrests, though French media BFM TV and Le Parisien newspaper earlier reported that two suspects had been arrested and taken into custody. She did not say whether the jewels had been recovered. Thieves took less than eight minutes to steal jewels valued at 88 million euros

Last week, CNN called her out, and she was clearly unprepared, and now, MSNBC of all places joined in. And once again, she did not handle it well. Let’s rewind a bit.
