Running..

Clear..

 

New Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg told "Real Time" host Bill Maher on Friday that the Democratic Party lost in 2024 because they paid two billion dollars to get voters not to believe their own eyes and ears.

Hogg, the 25-year-old progressive, who was elected to the position earlier this year, argued that his party lost voters among most demographics last November because they wanted voters to believe former President Biden was fine and that the economy was good, despite Americans seeing the opposite.

Comment:

Can the Democratic party people come clear and admit what the American people saw, lived and struggle with? The unnecessary transitory inflation that is artificially manufactured? 

Just a thought.

Cheap..

 

The US can't keep building and buying expensive weapons that are vulnerable to drones that are produced at a fraction of the cost, the Army secretary said.

"We keep creating and purchasing these exquisite machines that very cheap drones can take out," Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll said during an episode of the "War on the Rocks" podcast that aired Tuesday.

We are the wealthiest nation, perhaps in the history of the world, but even we can't sustain a couple-million-dollar piece of equipment that can be taken out with an $800 drone and munition," he said.

Driscoll was responding to a question about whether the US military was walking away from the Robotic Combat Vehicle. He said that while the concept was valuable, the cost ratio didn't work.

Original Sin..

 

A California Democratic candidate accused former Vice President Kamala Harris of being "intentionally complicit" in a "cover up" over former President Joe Biden's decline.

Antonio Villaraigosa, a 2026 California gubernatorial candidate, called the claims about Biden's health in the new book "Original Sin" by journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson "deeply troubling."

"At the highest levels of our government, those in power were intentionally complicit or told outright lies in a systematic cover up to keep Joe Biden's mental decline from the public," Villaraigosa stated.

Villaraigosa criticized Harris, California's attorney general from 2011 to 2017, and former Health Secretary Xavier Becerra, who also held the state's top legal post, for allegedly helping to conceal the former president's declining health. Both are reportedly eyeing a run for governor in the upcoming election.

Tidal Wave..

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the State of Florida recently announced the arrests of over 1,100 illegal immigrants during Operation Tidal Wave. 

The operation has achieved the highest number of arrests in a single week by a state in ICE’s history. Numerous individuals with serious criminal backgrounds have been detained, including a Brazilian national with assault charges and a Mexican national charged in a kidnapping.

Operation Tidal Wave has led to 1,120 arrests, with 63% of those detained having prior criminal records. Among the arrested, 378 individuals have final orders of removal issued by immigration judges and included gang members and violent offenders linked to MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.

Pope..

Cardinal Robert Prevost has been elected as the first US-born pontiff and will be known as Pope Leo XIV. 

Leo made his first remarks as pope from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica in front of tens of thousands of onlookers, calling for peace and paying tribute to the late Pope Francis.

Leo, a 69-year-old from Chicago, is a leader with global experience. He spent much of his career as a missionary in South America and holds dual citizenship in the US and Peru, where he served as a bishop. 

He most recently led a powerful Vatican office for bishop appointments. 

He is expected to build on Pope Francis’ reforms.

The Sphinx..

 

The Great Sphinx of Giza has stood guard over the desert for thousands of years. Carved from limestone and towering beside the pyramids, it remains a powerful symbol of ancient ingenuity.  With its serene gaze and monumental scale, it continues to stir debate and awe in equal measure.  

 It has appeared in many cultures. But none have left a mark quite like the one in Egypt. Here, the Sphinx represents strength, wisdom, and divine protection—a guardian carved in stone. Shaped with the body of a lion and the head of a ruler, the Great Sphinx is thought to reflect the might of a pharaoh. Scholars link it to the sun god Ra, suggesting a blend of human insight and animal strength.  Its design may have been a message to the heavens—and a warning to foes.
