Screencap of Twitter/X video. A Maine weatherman named Patrick Osborn who works at WABI News recently suffered a total meltdown on the air and could not stop laughing during a live broadcast. Have you ever been in a situation where you are not supposed to laugh, which only ends up making you want to laugh more? It looks like that’s what happened here. Apparently, a practical joke had just happened on the set, right before Osborn went live. The result is pretty funny. Even FOX News reported on this: A local meteorologist is experiencing viral fame after he was caught…
Genocidal communist dictator Xi Jinping held a high-level Communist Party meeting on Friday to address the response to the ongoing floods and mudslides in occupied Tibet in which leaders reportedly declared that rescue operations were competent and successful so far. Tibet and neighboring Nepal have been suffering for days under torrential rainfall, which has led to catastrophic mud and landslides as well as the reported overflow of at least one lake. Reports on Thursday shared that experts believe the worst of the landslides – which buried entire towns, roads, and bridges under debris – was caused by a glacial collapse…
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that he had “creative discussions” with the leader of Qatar and “putting diplomacy back on track isn’t impossible” — a noticeable change in tune from Iran’s previous belligerence as the Iranian economy begins to collapse under the weight of U.S. sanctions. “Putting diplomacy back on track isn’t impossible. It hinges on U.S. understanding of one simple fact: pressure doesn’t work. The U.S. should build trust, speak respectfully, acknowledge our rights, and uphold commitments,” Araghchi wrote on X. The Iranian foreign ministry was insisting prior to these statements this month that it had no…
On Friday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Moment,” host Katy Tur responded to Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s attempts to dismiss Hasan Piker as “a streamer in California” by saying that, given the fact that Piker campaigns with many Democrats, “he’s not just a streamer.” El-Sayed responded to a question on Piker by saying that “this campaign is not about a streamer in California. This campaign is about affordability in Michigan. This campaign is about the ability to have healthcare.” Tur cut in to say, “The streamer in California does campaign with a lot of Democrats. So, he’s not…
RT’s essential stories of the last seven days include tragedy in Nepal and power politics in the Vatican Britain doubles down against RussiaRussia has already warned the UK of “consequences” for Ukraine’s use of British-made drones to strike Russian civilian infrastructure. These words were clearly lost on British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who arrived in Kiev on Monday to mark the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence. Burnham compared the Russia/Ukraine conflict to Britain’s struggle against Nazi Germany in World War II (ironic, after the Zelensky regime just reburied a Nazi collaborator with state honors), and announced that he’d share classified…
Belgian mounted police – Wiki Commons Capital of Belgium and the European Union, home of NATO headquarters, Brussels has a festering drug problem. We have been reporting here on TGP how Belgium has slowly become a narco-state. And Brussels’ top prosecutor is hitting out at the unsustainable situation. Julien Moinil says ‘he demanded more resources’ to battle drug-related issues that have become a scourge in the Belgian capital. He complained today that his demands were ignored. As he addressed a new series of shootings, he ranted: ‘I don’t see a reaction — no concrete help’. This is not a new…
The widely domestically respected King of Norway, King Harald V, has died aged 89 after 35 years at the head of the country’s sometimes eccentric and occasionally scandal-struck Royal family. King Harald V died in a Oslo hospital Friday morning after a short illness. His son succeeded him to the throne and became King Haakon VIII, the fourth Norwegian king in modern history since the country became independent of its union with Sweden in 1905. Norway is a constitutional monarchy where the King is largely a figurehead with ceremonial and legal duties. Like other such European monarchies, while the crown is…
Warsh’s Death March Hiking Trip Welcome back to Friday!

On Friday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Moment,” Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed responded to concerns about his stances on antisemitism by saying that “I do reject the idea that, somehow, criticizing Israel and Israel’s actions and a genocide that was perpetrated by our tax dollars is the same as the idea of rejecting anybody for their faith or their identity.” And “if we want to allow disagreements about public policy relevant to a country 6,000 miles away to stop us from coming together to address the challenges in our own country, I want us to just focus in on…
