A 31.62-carat fancy blue diamond known as the Azure Blue will headline Christie’s Magnificent Jewels auction on June 9 in New York City, where it is expected to draw significant attention from collectors worldwide. Described as the largest fancy blue diamond ever to appear at auction, the stone carries a pre-sale estimate of $6.5 million to $8.5 million. The pear-shaped, modified brilliant-cut diamond boasts VVS1 clarity, with the potential to be reclassified as internally flawless, according to a report from the Gemological Institute of America. It is also classified as a Type IIb diamond—a rare category distinguished by the presence of boron impurities, which not only impart the gem’s vivid blue

CBS’s 60 Minutes was once the gold standard for TV network investigative reporting. Of course, that was back when NBC’s Saturday Night Live was actually a comedy show in the 1980s, and it even made people laugh. Since then, both shows have survived mostly by reputation. Some people continue to tune in, looking for a spark of that long-lost magic these shows once had. In the case of 60 Minutes, it tends to try to do biased investigative work during Republican administrations, and it takes four or eight years off if a Democrat is in the White House. When Republicans are in exile, the program becomes less an investigative operation

Tuesday, May 5, 2026 - Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has sent a handwritten letter to the federal court for the Eastern District of New York requesting to be extradited to Mexico to face charges in his home country, in a move that legal experts consider almost unlikely to succeed. The document, dated April 23 and formally received by the court on May 1, was processed through the Pro Se office of the Brooklyn court, confirming that the drug trafficker acted on his own, without the support or signature of his defense attorneys. The letter, written in grammatically incorrect English, appeals to concepts of "equity" and argues

Well, Seattle, like New York, has elected a real extremist as mayor. Katie Wilson, a despicable woman who looks as though she could be Abigail Spanberger’s sister, and as though she uses a broom for transportation, has decided to singlehandedly drive Seattle deeper into liberal hell than it already is. Like Spanberger, Wilson is tough to look at. True, neither is physically attractive, but the major reason for that is the smug, nauseating arrogance that they reek of. Both have stomach-turning smirks that cement their place in the despicable hall of fame. Like Spanberger, Wilson wasted little time instituting the Democrat destruction of the city, and even the liberal rag,

On our tenuous present globe, blasted daily with obdurate ideology, bloody theology, whilst oozing threats against ideological rejection--we desire to intuit the ultimate victor. As earth’s societies race to prepare for conflict, there remains two diverse Easchatons (end times scenarios). It’s East v West, playing out their visions on a colossal chessboard, the outcome seemingly foreshadowed across the most torrid biblical scenarios. So why must they encompass a nuclear end of ages for Shia Islam? Few know the radical difference between Sunni and Shia Islam, and why the former favors building nuclear weapon as part of their core beliefs. Are Iranian actions shaped by its leadership’s obsession

On March 31st, the U.S. crossed over a financial metric that should scare the heck out of all of us. On that day, our country’s debt exceeded 100% of GDP for only the second time since WWII. We now join debtor nations like Greece, Italy, France, and Canada as horrible stewards of our countries’ economies. High government borrowing raises the economic risk that interest costs will crowd out investment for everyone and make our system more vulnerable to shocks. The political risk is that it limits policy flexibility and fuels conflict over taxes, spending, and long-term obligations. High debt may be the single most powerful factor holding young people back from achieving

Despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Democrat-media complex, the war with Iran is not a war of choice in any practical sense. If anything, the current operations represent the end of the great pretending, since Iran has long been at war with us, keeping their attacks just low enough in intensity or with just enough plausible deniability to allow for the continuance of that pretending. Iran is the single most committed and least deterrable enemy of the United States, and was developing ever more lethal means to inflict grave harm. Democrats and their media allies who mostly know better are calling operations against Iran a war of choice

A Democratic lawmaker is drawing backlash after saying she spoke with foreign ambassadors about getting oil to Cuba despite U.S. sanctions, defending the outreach as "literally our right and responsibility." Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., made the remarks during a recent Seattle briefing following a congressional delegation trip to Cuba, where she discussed the island’s worsening fuel shortages and U.S. policy toward the communist regime. "I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places … trying to figure out how to get oil there," Jayapal said during the briefing, calling the situation on the island "a crisis beyond imagination." Jayapal said the event was

Barack Obama appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday night and had the audacity — the actual audacity — to lecture America about presidents misusing the Justice Department. And he did it with a straight face. Obama told Colbert that presidents shouldn't be able to weaponize the DOJ against their enemies. "The White House shouldn't be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever," Obama said. "The idea is that the attorney general is the people's lawyer. It's not the president's consigliere." Just let that sit for a second. The man who appointed Eric Holder as attorney general — the same Eric Holder who publicly called himself

Recently we learned that President Putin is spending more time in bunkers and cracking down on internal security as he fears the possibility of a drone strike or a coup. In addition to seeking to preserve his own personal security, Putin has cracked down on people's personal freedoms by shutting off social media and private messaging accounts and pushing everyone toward Kremlin-monitored accounts. But there are signs that this repression is starting to backfire as people are increasingly willing to oppose Putin publicly. Case in point, Ilya Remeslo, a former Putin supporter who spent years harassing Putin's enemies.

Liz Collin caught up with Savanah Hernandez for an interview about the assault she suffered at the Whipple Federal Building by the family that flays together — “suburban dad” Chris Ostroushko, suburban mom DeYanna Ostroushko, and whitle blower Paige Ostroushko (video below). The family that flays together has now been indicted by a Minnesota federal grand jury. The video is posted at Alpha News with this accompanying story by Liz Collin and J.C. Chaix. The Alpha News story includes a reminder of the Star Tribune’s profile of the “suburban dad” during Operation Metro Surge this past January. The profile constituted only one small component of the Star Tribune’s incessant

California Democrats have no idea how to define "hate speech," but they are going to mandate anti-hate speech training for companies with five or more employees. What's flabbergasting is that they don't care how hate speech is defined. They want to train employees not to speak it anyway. And if that seems unreasonable or just plain dumb, at least the law will be on the books for someone to be prosecuted for violating it. Note that "hate speech" is not illegal in the United States of America. It may be impolite. It may be irritating. It may even generate intense anger. But hate speech, like almost all speech, is constitutionally protected by
