The sports world has been awash with unexpected deaths of young athletes the past eighteen months, and sadly another has been added to the list when a body was discovered and identified earlier this week as a former NFL player. Yet the cause of death appears to be accidental, a fall down a mountain while rock-climbing in Southern California. Gavin Escobar, 31, had been rock climbing in a remote area of Riverside County, when at some point he lost his footing and fell to his death. Also climbing in the same area was Chelsea Walsh, 33, whose body was found…

The world learned the existence of MacKenzie Scott in 2019 when she and her billionaire then-husband Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos filed for divorce. But the proceedings went relatively smoothly, not a drawn-out courtroom fight over several years, with MacKenzie receiving $36 billion in the settlement, amounting to a four percent cut of the company. With that money MacKenzie Scott has morphed into a philanthropist, donating to many charities, including leftist ones, and snagging a second husband. Unlike her first husband, Dan Jewett is not a business mogul but a science teacher, having taught at the school that Scott’s children attend.…
Will Hollywood ever learn? The studios continue to churn out stultifying dreck, woke fantasies, yet they claim surprise when these films tank in the box office. September 2022, is no exception to the trend, save for one in that it is the worst September for box office receipts in twenty-five years, putting the crossover summer-to-fall month at the best of the worst. We have to go all the way back to 1997 to see ticket sales this awful, and that year boasted box office and critical gems such as ‘L.A. Confidential,’ ‘The Full Monty,’ and ‘The Game.’ As go-for-broke lefty…
Just about every little detail of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s mourning and funeral has been under the scrutiny of royal watchers for over a week now as they review hours of the carefully planned events that billions around the world saw. Seating arrangements, songs sung, jewelry worn, colors flown: nothing was deemed trivial in honoring the life of the Queen. But what has rankled eagle-eyed viewers is the symbol on the soles of the Duchess of Sussex’s shoes, with many believing it to be a secret communication to those in the know, or a defiant stance against the royals.…
In yet another example of how we live in a topsy-turvy bizarro world, the historically apolitical National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) deemed it necessary to warn people of the potential harm in viewing documents essential to America’s founding. These dangerous documents include Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights, all of which NARA has flagged with an alert above the agency’s online catalog as containing “harmful language.” What makes the language harmful is that it was written in the 18th century, an era of different morals and standards, and the NARA claims that because…
In a tragic and shocking case in Alabama, a 56-year-old grandfather was arrested and charged in the death of his 2-year-old grandson after the man left the boy in a hot vehicle in 90-degree temperature for hours, allegedly believing he had already dropped off his grandson earlier in the day. Charges levied at William “Bill” Wiesman include reckless manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in what police believe was an unintentional death. Wiesman, 56, went to work after believing he had dropped off his grandson, even returning to his truck three times before driving to his grandson’s daycare where he realized…
Was it a sartorial overlook? Or a deliberate snub? Whichever the reality, Prince Harry went from pleased to pissed off when his father, King Charles III, allowed him to wear his military uniform during the surprise 15-minute vigil over Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin, but the uniform was missing the Queen’s insignia on the shoulder. Harry’s brother Prince William sported the ER on his shoulder, and even disgraced royal Prince Andrew had the insignia on his uniform. The approval to have the Queen’s grandchildren stand vigil came at the last minute from the new king, which followed the vigil the Queen’s…
In a paradise like Hawaii, tragic events seem out of place. Even more out of place is when something designed to help a person, save a person even, in fact causes their demise. Unfortunately, that is what happened to a man on the island of Oahu when the ambulance in which he was being conveyed caught fire due to a faulty portable oxygen device malfunctioning, leading to his death and injuring a paramedic taking care of him. The paramedic connected a CPAP breathing device to a portable oxygen cylinder, intending to place the CPAP onto the 91-year-old patient, while both…
If you were searching for another example of an institution caving to the woke mob and leftist ideology, look no further than The Boston Marathon whose governing board announced the creation of a “non-binary” category for runners who identify as neither male nor female for the 2023 race. As Breitbart reports, The Boston Athletic Association confirmed earlier this week that this new category will feature in all class of races, including the 5K, 10K, and the half marathon. The Association released the race registration information in which is reflected the new category. The next run will be the 127th and…
If you watched the snore fest known as the Emmy Awards this year, you were among a small group, as rating for television’s big night were the lowest in the awards show’s history. Just 5.9 million viewers tuned in to watch wokeness and preaching, a far cry from its heyday in 2000 when 21.8 million viewers tuned in. Emmy hasn’t hit double-digits since 2018, when 10.2 million decided to watch the show that never seems to end. This year’s host was SNL cast member Kenan Thompson, who was brought on to attract a younger, more diverse crowd. However, the coveted…
Meghan Markle ranks pretty high on the list of unlikeable people. Her incessant complaining about being oppressed while attaining multi-millionaire status. Her insisting that she confronts racism everywhere she turns, yet was able to snag a prince whose family threw her a lavish wedding. Her begging for privacy at the same time granting interviews, writing books, hosting a podcast, and filming a Netflix special. Not bad for someone who claims to be suffering. One person who has weighed in on all things Meghan is former Real Housewife of New York City Bethenny Frankel, who took to TikTok to opine on…
Amid a tragic and mind-boggling turn of events, a 14-year-old boy was charged with murder for allegedly killing his missing 10-year-old stepsister. Little Na’Mylah Turner-Moore was missing from her stepfather’s Saginaw, Michigan, home in the early hours of Tuesday, August 30, prompting her stepfather to call Na’Mylah’s biological father, who in turn called Saginaw Police. It took only a few hours for police to locate Na’Mylah’s body in an abandoned and overgrown lot not far from her home. Police later arrested Jameion Peterson, 14, Na’Mylah’s stepbrother, and charged him as an adult for open murder. It is unclear what lead…
In a case that has shocked Australia, a man was finally convicted of murdering his wife and high-school sweetheart over forty years ago, despite her body having never been found. Chris Dawson, now 74, was convicted by a judge of murdering his wife, Lynette, 33, sometime in early January 1982, and disposing of her corpse. The believed motive for the murder is one we’ve seen many times before: another woman. It was Lynette’s mother who was the first to become concerned for her daughter’s whereabouts after she didn’t show up for a planned lunch. But it took Chris six weeks…
In a shocking double-murder case, a man was convicted of shooting and killing a couple who responded to an online ad about a car for sale in Denver. The convicted murderer placed the ad for the car, which had been stolen, in the hopes that whoever responded to it would arrive to view the car flush with cash. A jury found Kyree Brown, 20, guilty of a litany of charges, including two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated robbery, second-degree arson, three counts of aggravated motor vehicle theft, felony theft, and bait advertising, as…
If you want to review Amazon Prime’s new series ‘Rings of Power’ on the online platform, well, you can’t. At least not for a while, as the streaming giant temporarily halted reviews amid scathing reports on just how bad and woke the new series is. Even if you love the wokeland fantasy storyline inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved books, you can’t tell Amazon about it. Amazon Prime Video instituted a 72-hour delay for all new user reviews so that each review can be read, evaluated, and approved for posting on Prime Video. Amazon says it is taking this unprecedented move…
The dark side of TikTok came to a head when a 14-year-old girl was shot and killed while she and her friends were filming a video intended for TikTok in a southern Colorado city. What makes the situation worse is that several of the girl’s family members believe the shooting was deliberate, and are not happy with the response from Colorado’s criminal justice system. Aaliyah Salazar was set to begin her freshman year in high school when she was killed by a member of her friend group filming the video with her. Aaliyah, 14, is seen dancing in the video…
Did you know Meghan Markle has a podcast on Spotify? And the podcast is estimated to be worth $25 million somehow? And do you care? Me neither, but if you haven’t had enough of feminist tropes or a rich privileged woman bemoaning her victimhood, then ‘Archetypes’ may be for you. Sexism is one of the topics Markle focuses on her ‘Archetypes’ podcast, and she plans to use her podcast as a vehicle to not only push her own definition of feminism, but also “rip apart the boxes women have been placed into for generations” by examining labels such as “slut”,…
If you’re a parent in Cassville, Missouri, then you can rest easy that your child won’t get suspended for violating a school rule right away, but instead could be paddled after parents sought new punishment options. In an interview with local news outlet KOLR, Dr. Merlyn Johnson, Superintendent of Cassville School District, said the district surveyed parents before the end of the last school year and learned that they didn’t want their children suspended. In a small town of just over 3,000 people, paddling is a form of discipline meted out in many households, and parents believe that this should…
Actors are known for delving so far into a role that they “become” the person they are portraying, but for Shia LaBeouf his acting journey became a spiritual one as he revealed that he converted to Christianity during the making of the film “Padre Pio” where he plays the titular role. During his research for the role of the late Italian mystic and canonized saint Padre Pio, LaBeouf lived in a Franciscan Capuchin monastery and communed with the friars there in order to fully immerse himself into life in a religious order to further his career rather than for spiritual…
Wacky woke San Francisco has something in common with its larger southern California counterpart Los Angeles as rampant crime is plaguing both cities. Even retailers are feeling it as flash mobs ransack shops and steal merchandise ranging from cigarettes to high-end handbags and attack staff who try to intervene. However, one retailer has come up with a creative way to deter would-be thieves, and she’s involving her employees in the process. Mindy Fong, who owns Jade Chocolates Teahouse and Cafe in Chinatown, started holding kung fu classes for her employees to empower them; they learn some self-defense techniques as well…
What do Reese Witherspoon, Khloe Kardashian, Jay-Z, Pearl Jam, and Green Day have in common? If you said that they are richer than you are then you’d be right, but you may be surprised to know that they all received loans from the Paychex Protection Program (PPP), loans that were eventually forgiven. What does that mean for you? Well, taxpayer, you are going to have to foot the bill for these loans approved for businesses owned by these celebrities, and as the DailyMail reports, the loans are in the millions of dollars in some cases. America’s Sweetheart Reese Witherspoon’s clothing…
Diana, Princess of Wales, continues to fascinate us, even 25 years after her tragic and violent death in Paris. Adding to the fascination is a newly-revealed existence of a note that she wrote, presaging her own death in a car accident that she predicted would be the result of sabotage. “The Diana Investigations, “a new docuseries streaming on Discovery+” explores the moment Diana told her lawyer that those inside the Royal Family would attempt to “get rid” of her and suggested a car accident as one of the ways to accomplish this. Diana wrote to Victor Mischon in 1995, just…
Is your name Karen? Perhaps you have been called ‘Karen.’ Or maybe you actually are indeed a ‘Karen’? You know, THAT Karen. With all of the controversy surrounding the name, a Pennsylvania toy company thought it was high time for the Karens of the world to have their own action figure, all 3 and 3/4 inches of it. Toy company Namespace announced its plans to create the Karen action figure, and intends to acquire funding via a Kickstarter campaign, seeking $30,000 to get the project underway. Accompanying Karen will be Manager Joe, her beleaguered counterpart in the tête-à-tête dance that…
In response to the unprecedented FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, the pro-Trump street artist and renegade disrupter known as Sabo took to the streets of Los Angeles and hung a series of signs around the City of Angels supporting the 45th president and denouncing the now-weaponized Federal Bureau of Investigations. The signs were positioned in groupings on traffic light posts and telephone wires, and read “F*ck the FBI” and “Trump 2024 MAGA,” two of the artist’s key messages which were displayed on a white background with black lettering and hung in the neighborhoods of Brentwood and…
The CEO of fancy supermarket chain Whole Foods has expressed dismay over the direction of the country, saying he sees the United States of America taking a hard turn left, and warns that this deranged progressivism will be difficult to stop. John Mackey, co-founder and outgoing CEO of the natural foods supermarket giant, who regards himself as a “capitalist at heart” but a “conscious capitalist,” spoke to Reason Magazine about the Left’s takeover of every institution, from education to the corporate world, to even the military. A believer in liberty and the core tenets of the nation’s founding, he sees…
In these days of uncertainty, at least we have the cackling, obnoxious harridans of “The View” to rely upon for ridiculous statements and hypocritic actions. And the latest tidbits take us behind the scenes to when former co-host Meghan McCain returned to “The View” set after her maternity leave was over, only to discover con-host Joy(less) Behar less than excited about the comeback, allegedly telling McCain “Nobody missed you.” In an interview with The Commentary Magazine podcast, McCain said it was this exchange with Behar that prompted her to leave the show for good in July 2021. As the DailyCaller…
In case you needed more proof of how much of a cesspool the City of Angels is, the public organization charged with educating children is relying upon videos made by gender activists to inform children, parents, and teachers on the new woke pronoun structure, and one of the videos links to photos of a self-proclaimed non-binary person/activist who is half naked. The organization in question is the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), more specifically its Human Relations, Diversity & Equity Office, which for some reason has an Instagram account. Among the posts on the ‘gram is the video of…
Nearly 60 firefighters responded to the scene of a horrific car wreck caused by actress Anne Heche, who is in critical condition, after she reportedly crashed her car first into an apartment building garage, then into a house, in a residential area of Los Angeles. Her blue Mini Cooper exploded after the crash into the house, and witnesses reported seeing the actress severely burned and taken away in a stretcher while flailing her arms. David Manpearl, a neighbor who saw Heche’s car speed by him before the crash, ran to the scene to help his neighbor and her pets escape…
A vegan food company has learned the hard way that eaters of the world don’t understand their beef with meat, and consumers have rejected its quest to get average Americans to eat plants in the form of patties. Beyond Meat forged an alliance with McDonalds for a three-year global distribution agreement starting in 2021, meaning the Golden Arches agreed to include a Beyond plant-based burger as one of their menu items among their more famous and popular Big Mac and Quarter Pounder with Cheese. The move seemed to be a response to a perceived gradual desire from consumers for more…
A fashion scandal? A unique prank? An amusing meme? Or just a load of garbage? People are scratching their heads over fashion house Balenciaga’s new purse-cum-scatchel that looks remarkably like a regular ol’ garbage bag. Yes. A garbage bag. But with a hefty price. “Trash Pouch,” a new design for Balenciaga’s Fall/Winter 2022 line, was previewed during a recent show in Paris this past spring. Models wearing dystopian monotone futuristic wear walked down a catwalk seemingly placed in the middle of a tundra during a berating winter storm. Each carried the pouch with such aplomb that you almost forget the…
