Republicans think they’ve found a winning message in some battleground races: calling their opponents vegans. In Colorado’s 8th District, where beef production is a major industry, Democratic nominee Manny Rutinel is being attacked for “a decade of pushing veganism” and “hurling disgusting insults at the agricultural community,” as Alexandria Cullen, spokesperson for GOP Rep. Gabe Evans, put it. As an undergrad, Rutinel posed shirtless draped in a PETA banner, and at Yale Law, he said animal agriculture is a “horrific, exploitive industry,” the Colorado Sun reported. In since-deleted 2017 Reddit posts, he suggested veganism as a solution to high food…

Created by The Gateway Pundit using Google Map A historic nine-story building overlooking the White House Complex has been purchased by a foundation controlled by a man with reported ties to multiple Chinese Communist Party security and influence organizations. The century-old Securities Building on 15th Street in Washington, D.C., approximately 650 feet northeast of the White House grounds, was purchased on July 21, 2026, for $8.4 million by the Philip Qiu and Family Foundation, according to property filings reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The foundation’s namesake, Philip Qiu, also identified in Chinese records as Qiu Feili, has reportedly…

The short American attention span Recently, Anthony Fauci, who served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 38 years, testified before Congress. If this seems like a severely belated move on the part of our “representatives,” you aren’t familiar with the way they conduct business. They are, to quote Dickens, experts on not getting it done. Who can forget those halcyon days which began in early 2020? So many memories to cherish. The required masks everywhere. The disposing of those masks, which we were told protected us from the World’s Deadliest Virus Ever, wherever you…

Morocco deployed additional security measures amid threats of a new possible migrant invasion of Ceuta this weekend, Spanish outlets reported. Over the past days, reports from Spanish law enforcement officials warned that new mass migrant invasion of Ceuta is allegedly being organized and could potentially take place on Saturday, August 15. Similar warnings were reportedly presented to the government of Italy this week through a new Italian intelligence dossier. The reports reached the same conclusion that a new migrant invasion of the Spanish exclave is allegedly being organized after an extensive analysis of countless messages published on social media platforms and messaging…

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who will leave the administration to focus on her family at the end of the month, said Wednesday that serving as the president’s chief spokeswoman “has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime.” Leavitt took to X shortly after President Donald Trump announced her forthcoming departure at the end of August: Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the…

Florida’s primary next week will test whether Debbie Wasserman Schultz can survive her latest fall from grace within the Democratic party she’s served for decades. Her run in the state’s 20th District has roiled the caucus: Wasserman Schultz, 59, is facing a crowded slate of challengers —several of them younger, several of them Washington outsiders — in an election cycle that has increasingly seen its voters oust longtime incumbents in favor of generational insurgents. But it’s her decision to run in one of a dwindling number of majority-Black districts after Republicans redrew her former seat that has deeply divided colleagues.…

Brad Pitt has started drinking again and this really is cause for celebration among millions of ordinary people around the world, because after all, what brings us closer to the great and famous, but our vices?I have often heard people who enjoy a glass of cognac in the morning point out that Winston Churchill used to do much the same, but when asked in what other respects they resemble the First Lord of the Admiralty, twice British prime minister, and Nobel Prize winner, they usually have less to say. And now, if Brad Pitt has started drinking again, perhaps he…

Screengrab Social Media/X First – the wildfires; now – the droughts. We have been reporting on how the hot summer season in Europe is causing all kinds of disturbances – and one of the most consequential is the drought of many important rivers of the continent. The mythic ‘Blue Danube’, for example, is so low that it’s causing real problems in the energy system of both Hungary and Romania. Today (13), it arises that Romania has been forced to completely shut down its only nuclear power station. 🇷🇴 Romania has begun shutting down both reactors at its Cernavodă nuclear plant…

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has kept his Parliament seat after an extraordinary special election where every other major party in England coalesced around a single opposition candidate, a BBC satirist in costume as a rubbish bin. Nigel Farage has won the Clacton byelection on an increased vote count, despite turnout being down 14 per cent, pushing his support locally higher to 22,329 votes. Farage called the election in July by resigning his seat over what he called a vexatious Parliamentary investigation into his finances, which if found against him, could have resulted in him being forced to resign his…

Democrat Francesca Hong released her first statement on Wednesday following her upset defeat in the Wisconsin governor primary. Released on social media, Hong congratulated her opponent, David Crowley, while pledging to support him in the general election against Republican Tom Tiffany. “The last 11 months have been one of the greatest joys of my life. Traveling the state, meeting people in churches and dive bars and bike races and dance parties and in their homes, and hearing about what matters most to them informed every decision we made on the trail,” she said. It will continue to inform the work we…
