Trans Cyclist Veronica Ivy Now Stealing Women's Titles in a Second Sport


A transgender cyclist who identifies as a woman is now knocking women out of winning titles in a second sport.

Veronica Ivy has already won a string of women’s pro cycling titles as far back as 2018. Competing under the name Rachel McKinnon, Ivy became the first trans cyclist to win a world cycling championship with masters’ titles in 2018 and 2019, the New York Post reported.

But after a name change, Ivy is now dominating women in a second sport by winning Golf’s Inter-Provincial Team title at the Canadian Women's Mid-Amateur Championship.

“In June, Ivy won both the women's British Columbia Mid-Amateur and Mid-Master championships,” the paper reported.

“I swear, golf has to be the hardest sport out there,” Ivy wrote on social media after winning the BC Mid-Am women’s Championship. “Cycling was so simple by comparison. Cycling is maybe 5 minutes of peak stress, but golf is just 5 hours of non-stop stress, for days on end.”

Ivy has been outshooting women by achieving drives of more than 280 yards. By comparison, only three female pro golfers on

DSA Activists Upset North Carolina Town Removed Their Propaganda Bus Stop Benches


Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) activists in coastal Wilmington, North Carolina, are upset that city and state officials removed their propaganda bus stop benches this month.

Since April 2025, DSA activists built more than 30 illegal benches at city bus stops without approval from the city or the transit system, in violation of code ordinances. 

On July 6, WECT-TV reported Wilmington City Attorney Meredith Everhart said the benches "were not approved by the city or WAVE, aren't the correct type of bench, aren't ADA compliant, didn't go through the required permitting process and carry political messaging, which isn't allowed in public right-of-ways." 

Follow-up emails reported by local outlets showed the DSA ignored the request to remove them. A statement from the group confirmed they did not receive approval for the benches but chose to continue with the project, launching a pressure campaign to keep the benches at the bus stops. 

In an image shared by the DSA chapter, slogans painted on the benches include, "We Must Have Mass Social Housing!" "Liberation for All"

Trump Blames Judges Appointed by Obama, Biden for Blocking White House Ballroom Project


President Donald Trump on Friday blamed two federal judges appointed by former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden after they ruled against his plan to build a White House ballroom and military complex.

A divided federal appeals court ruled that the Trump administration must stop construction of the $400 million White House ballroom because Congress did not authorize the project. The court found the president does not have unilateral authority to replace the East Wing with the planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom.

In a Truth Social post, Trump criticized the judges’ reasoning, arguing that presidents have the authority to renovate, improve, and secure the White House without congressional approval because they are elected by the American people.

“Two Judges, one appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, the other by Sleepy Joe Biden, said in a ruling on the desperately needed SECURE Ballroom/Military Complex, including a major DronePort on the roof, that ‘Each President is a temporary tenant … of the White House.'” Trump wrote.

“We are not tenants, who pay rent and do all other things that a tenant must do, we are PRESIDENTS, elected by the people of the United States

Raskin: Trump 'Rampaging over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights'


Friday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said President Donald Trump was “rampaging over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.”

Raskin said, “he Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee know that we are in the fight of our lives and have been working every single day. Michael, to try to defend the rule of law, the Constitution and our democracy against an authoritarian president who’s just been rampaging over the Constitution in the Bill of Rights.”

He added, “And it’s not just the weaponization fund but any transfer of money for these purposes. If these people have a valid cause of action against the Capitol Police or the U.S. government, go to court and make your case. Not a single one has been able to do that because they had every advantage of due process and, the presumption of innocence. They were all lawfully convicted and lots of them just pled guilty. So Donald Trump just wants to give them a bonanza payout day. And it’s got nothing to do with the rule of law that’s characteristic of an authoritarian society and a mafia state. That is not something representative of the

Coons: Republicans Should Know Better than to Confirm Blanche as AG


On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said his Republican colleagues should know better than to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general.

Coons said, “I frankly think that my colleagues, John Cornyn and Bill Cassidy, know better and should have known better than to be willing to vote to confirm him. President Trump ran on an election of grievance and a commitment to impose costs on his political enemies and he’s carrying that out. Ever since Watergate, we’ve had a bipartisan commitment to an independent Department of Justice, to attorneys general who don’t just do the president’s bidding, but who protect the American people, serve justice, and protect the Constitution. That’s not what Todd Blanche has done.”

He added, “As acting attorney general, he badly fumbled and mishandled the rollout of the Epstein files. He mishandled it in a way that hurt Epstein’s victims and helped Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker who was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s top accomplices. He advanced the anti-weaponization fund. This $1.8 billion slush fund. That’s a terrible idea. And frankly, that my colleagues and friends, John Cornyn and Bill Cassidy, except this paper thin excuse of

Art Laffer, of the Laffer Curve, Sounds Warning on UK Taxes Pushing Away Talent and Strangling the Economy


Britain could be wealthy and great again, but is held back by being grossly overtaxed, famed economist Art Laffer, the creator of the Laffer Curve, has warned the UK’s new left-wing Prime Minister Andy Burnham.

Arthur Laffer, the American economist who advised Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and now President Donald Trump and who is perhaps best known generally for his Laffer Curve theory that there is a maximum effective tax rate in any economy, beyond which government takings actually fall even as demands rise, has warned the British government it’s on the wrong side of that gradient.

Noting that the British government has already scared away many high earners — and many of those “wonderful people” to the United States — Laffer said rationalising the tax code and cutting several unjust and unwise taxes could see people flood back, and foster a return to greatness for moribund Britain. Laffer told The Times: “Britain should be great again… and it's all taxes and regulations that have been just killing you. It's so sad because you have the potential to be rich and prosperous and just at the same time. And you're missing these opportunities.”

Mexico Arrests Former Governor for Alleged Cover-Up of 2014 Student Massacre


Authorities in Mexico arrested a former governor in connection with the cover-up of an infamous massacre where police forces kidnapped 43 education students during a protest. The police turned them over to cartel gunmen who are believed to have slaughtered them and disposed of their bodies.

The arrest took place on Wednesday afternoon in Mexico State when authorities arrested Angel Aguirre, who was the governor of Guerrero in 2014 at the time of the massacre. He is accused of helping to cover up the incident. Soon after the arrest, Mexico's Attorney General Ernestina Godoy released a video on social media where she provided details of the case and what led authorities to move against Aguirre.

Known as the Ayotzinapa massacre, the kidnapping and murders happened in September 2014, when a group of student stole some buses to make their way to a protest. As Breitbart Texas reported, along the way, Mexican authorities shot at the buses and kidnapped the students, only to

Russian Attacks Kill Four in Kyiv and Surrounding Region as Air Defenses Fall Short


KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Four people, including a child, were killed in Russian attacks on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and the surrounding region, local officials said Saturday, as Ukraine hit another oil refinery in Russia.

Residents endure regular drone and missile barrages that Kyiv´s depleted air defenses are struggling to counter amid Moscow’s 4-year-old full-scale invasion, while repeated Ukrainian strikes on oil facilities have caused fuel shortages and rattled Russians.

Two grandparents and their 3-year-old grandson were killed after multiple Russian drones destroyed their home in the Brovary district of Kyiv region, northeast of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, early Saturday.

Three other members of the same family and a neighbor who came to their aid were hospitalized, local authorities said. The attack reduced the house to rubble and wrecked outbuildings and cars.

In the city of Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at least one other person died in a “strike involving six ballistic missiles against civilian infrastructure.”

In its daily report, Ukraine´s air force said it had downed or intercepted 135 of 151 drones launched by Russia overnight. The attack also involved six ballistic missiles

Maher: 'Don't Believe' Hong Saying She's Now OK with Thanksgiving, 'Couldn't Make a Character Like This Up'


During his opening monologue on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that he doesn’t believe Democratic Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong’s renunciation of her prior denunciation of Thanksgiving and said, “I don’t believe you people who renounce things. We know what you said. You mean it, live by it.”

After mentioning Hong’s critcism of Thanksgiving, Maher said, “Of course, yesterday…renounced it. I don’t believe you, I don’t believe you people who renounce things. We know what you said. You mean it, live by it. … No, you meant it. You know why I know she meant it? Because she hates all holidays. She talked about feeling attacked on Christmas when someone put on her computer a Christmas scene. She doesn’t like fireworks, 4th of July. Halloween, all the far lefties hate Halloween, costumes that are inappropriate, oh please. This woman doesn’t like Valentine’s Day, another way of capitalism taking over our love life. She said Valentine’s Day, the holiday that brings out the worst of humanity. That’s the holiday that brings out the worst of humanity? Have you ever been to a Black Friday sale? People will hip check an old lady to

Bulgaria PM Says Drone Exploded Near Gas Pipeline Close to Romanian Border


SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) – A drone entered Bulgarian airspace on Saturday and exploded close to an international gas pipeline shortly after crossing the border from Romania.

Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Rumen Radev said the drone exploded just after 5 a.m. about 100 meters (330 feet) inside Bulgarian territory. It was not detected or identified while flying through either Romanian or Bulgarian airspace.

“There are no casualties or damage to buildings. The area has been cordoned off. We continue to monitor the situation,” Radev said following a government emergency meeting.

Radev said the unmanned aerial vehicle exploded around 200 meters from a Romanian compressor station, and about 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) from Bulgaria’s compressor station on the Trans-Balkan gas pipeline.

“We will continue to monitor the situation and strengthen surveillance. Following this incident, we will also redeploy border police anti-drone detection and countermeasure capabilities from the border with Turkey to the border with Romania,” Radev said.

It was unclear where the drone had originated or whether it was linked to Russia or

Spain Imposes Tit-For-Tat Border Checks on Italian Travelers Amid Ceuta Migrants Row


MADRID (AP) – A diplomatic spat between Spain and Italy over the rush of tens of thousands of migrants to the Spanish territory of Ceuta escalated on Saturday after the government in Madrid announced border controls on Italian travelers in response to Rome’s decision to impose sanctions on visitors from Spain.

Italians arriving at Barcelona airport were subject to random police checks after the controls were put into effect overnight, according to Spain´s state news agency EFE.

The Spanish government said the controls would stay in place for at least a month after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni rejected Spain´s warning on Friday that it would take “proportionate measures to protect the interests and dignity of its citizens” if Rome didn´t lift its own restrictions by an Aug. 9 deadline.

Italy began enforcing air and sea border controls on Spanish citizens on Aug. 1 following Meloni´s scathing criticism of the progressive migration policies of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

The feud was triggered after the sudden arrival of 72,000 migrants from Morocco at Spain´s North African territory late last month. Although most of the migrants have since gone back,
