By Jack Davis August 6, 2026 at 8:16am

Firm in the belief that immigration enforcement is bad for business, Southwest Airlines is pushing back hard against efforts to detain illegal immigrants at U.S. airports, according to a new report.

A report from The Wall Street Journal highlights a July 25 incident in which an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent tried to board a Southwest Airlines jet in Dallas.

The agent was prevented from carrying out his duties by the airline, the outlet reported.

Dallas-based Southwest staff also refused to share passenger information with ICE.

Bernie Sanders Tells James Carville to Kick Rocks: 'Start His Own Party' If He Doesn't Like Socialism

By Michael Schwarz August 6, 2026 at 8:26am

Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a socialist who caucuses with Democrats, had strong words for Democratic stalwart James Carville.

In an interview with CNN’s Abby Phillip on Tuesday, Sanders told Carville to “start his own party” if he does not like the Democrats’ ongoing socialist insurgency, particularly as personified by left-wing influencer Hasan Piker.

“Well, that’s not much of a choice,” Sanders replied when Phillip asked him to choose between Carville and Piker.

The Vermont socialist made those remarks during Tuesday’s primary elections. Of special interest to Sanders, fellow socialist Abdul El-Sayed narrowly prevailed in the Democrats’ Senate

Trump Responds to Reports About Dwindling U.S. Weapons Stockpiles, Promises 'Long Term Jail Sentences'

By Michael Schwarz August 6, 2026 at 8:35am

President Donald Trump bristled at reports that the war in Iran has left stockpiles of crucial weapons depleted.

Moreover, the president threatened “long term jail sentences” for those who allegedly leaked that information to the press.

Trump made that threat early Thursday on social media platform Truth Social.

“The U.S. has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types,” the president wrote. “Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country's history.”

Then came the threat.

“The ‘leakers’ of these treasonous statements are being hunted down,” he added. “Long term jail sentences will be sought! President DJT.”

Crime families aren’t new in New York, but when the mother is a deputy police commissioner, it’s definitely a new twist.

Mount Vernon, New York, a city in Westchester County just north of New York City’s borough of The Bronx, was rocked this week by a criminal complaint that accused a high-ranking official in its police department of helping her gang-banging son try to assassinate a rival, according to the New York Post.

Now, she’s on the other side of the criminal justice system.

By Michael Schwarz August 6, 2026 at 1:41pm

As of August 2026, President Donald Trump’s endorsement still carries substantial weight inside the Republican Party.

Thus, anyone who earns that endorsement enjoys a significant advantage in all GOP primaries.

According to The Washington Post, Trump told donors in a private Oval Office meeting late last month that they should rally around Vice President J.D. Vance as the party’s presidential nominee in 2028.

“At the end of the day, we need to elect J.D.,” Trump said in that meeting.

The Post cited two anonymous sources “with knowledge of the comments.”

Likewise, one of the president’s advisers, who knew of the comments

Coca-Cola Bans Jesus, MAGA from Personalized Cans But Allows Customers to Print Pure Filth on Orders

By Samuel Short August 6, 2026 at 1:55pm

The Coca-Cola Company has a new promotion available online for its popular soft drink where customers can customize messages featured on a can or bottle.

If you thought the marketing executives behind this idea would allow expressions of faith or politics to be featured, you would be wrong.

But what they will allow are phrases so absolutely vile that whoever orders them should be on a watchlist.

Upon visiting the website and selecting a Coke product to personalize, users will be met with a text box.

If a banned word or phrase is used, the following message will appear:

Watch: Road-Raging Punk Goes After 2 Girls, Suddenly Meets His Worst Nightmare - a Pro Muay Thai Fighter With a Knockout Record

By Samuel Short August 6, 2026 at 2:32pm

You never know who you’re going to encounter in a road rage incident. It could even be a professional fighter with four knockouts on his record.

A highway in Queensland, Australia, was the scene for one unlucky angry driver after he got out of his vehicle only to find a professional Muay Thai fighter confronting him. The fighter stepped in, leaving his vehicle after seeing the driver confront two women driving by themselves.

7News reported that 19-year-old Ryan McDonald wanted to assist the women after witnessing the incident while driving home from a camping trip with some friends. McDonald said he saw one of the women try to merge several times, but the man, driving a white van, would not let her.

When the two vehicles came upon a traffic stop, the van’s driver exited, angrily pulling at the driver’s side door of the other vehicle.

The outlet interviewed McDonald about the confrontation, video of which was
