Eerie Animal Mutilations Mystify Argentine Ranchers

The owners of a ranch in Argentina are searching for answers after they lost both a cow and a horse to what appears to be the infamous cattle mutilation phenomenon. According to a local media report, the eerie case began last month in Villa de la Quebrada when a downed heifer was found with a cut jaw and its tongue, eye, and udder removed with what appeared to be remarkable precision. “What we found strange,” one of the ranch owners recalled, “is that it had a burn inside the mouth like it was made with a laser.” The situation became even more concerning last week when he noticed that one of their horses had gone missing, which led to another gruesome discovery.

To his astonishment, he soon stumbled upon the unfortunate mare, which had suffered a similar grisly fate, bearing “the same characteristics of the cow,” including precise cuts to its jaw and carefully removed body parts. The rancher noted that in both instances, the remains of the slain animals were of no interest to scavengers that would normally feast on such a free meal. Understandably baffled by the two incidents, he was skeptical that the killings were the work of human hands. “It does not make sense for one or more people to do all this and leave the animal lying,” he mused, arguing that a sinister miscreant would have at least taken the heifer’s remains.

With that scenario having been dismissed by the rancher, he offered an otherworldly explanation for what might be behind the two unsettling events. Citing “news and documentaries we have seen,” he pointed to two possible culprits: the chupacabras or aliens. That said, he conceded that the cases will likely remain a mystery as “the reality is that no one knows how to tell you exactly what may have happened to them or what would be the cause.” What do you think downed the rancher’s animals? Are the incidents a case of the cattle mutilation mystery going international, or did they perish under more prosaic circumstances?

Parents outraged after Pride book with drag nuns and leather gear appears in Lexington kindergarten social studies curriculum

A Pride-parade picture book showing bondage gear and drag nuns is set to appear in Lexington’s 2025–2026 kindergarten social studies curriculum, sparking fury among parents who say the district has crossed the line between inclusion and age-appropriate teaching.

The revelation was first reported by Massachusetts Informed Parents, a watchdog group that obtained lesson materials from Lexington Public Schools (LPS). According to their review, the Pride-themed book This Day in June is listed as part of a new “Social Studies” unit for five-year-olds — a class typically reserved for topics like community, geography, and basic civics.

But the book’s illustrations show men in leather harnesses, bondage gear, and members of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” drag troupe, imagery that critics say has no place in an elementary classroom. Supporters of the curriculum say the materials are meant to promote diversity and understanding.

The new program is overseen by Aisha Banda, LPS’s K–5 Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator, who has championed “disrupting traditional narratives” in district teaching frameworks. Under her watch, the district’s new lessons are aligned with Learning for Justice’s “Social Justice Standards,” which encourage teachers to discuss identity, family structures, and belonging — even in kindergarten.

Mexican and Colombian Cartels Sending Members to Ukraine To Learn To Operate Attack Drones, Changing Drug War Tactics Forever

It’s a clear and present danger to the US.

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine is generating bad repercussions for Europe and the outside world, such as an energy crisis, military escalations, and other problematic developments.

To the US, there’s a new, dangerous reality that may be about to bring a whole new level of danger, as the Latin American cartels are sending their operatives to Ukraine to be trained in drone warfare.

These criminals are attending the Kill House Academy, a ‘Top Gun school for the drone-warfare era’, according to the British media, a place that trains some of Kiev regime’s best UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) pilots.

It’s actually easy for a cartel member to blend in with the thousands of new Latin American recruits.

The Telegraph reported:

“Among the more promising recent recruits [at the Kill House Academy] was a pilot with the callsign Aguila 7 (Eagle 7) – a former special forces soldier from Mexico, enlisted with Ukraine’s International Legion. But while he excelled at the course, it seemed he had foes other than Russian soldiers in his sights. Eagle 7 was in fact a foot soldier in Mexico’s feared Los Zetas drug cartel and had been sent there to learn drone skills for use in drug wars back home, according to reports.”

Russia hands over its JFK assassination files to US lawmaker

The Russian ambassador to the US has given Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna copies of the declassified Soviet files on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the embassy announced on Tuesday.

Ambassador Aleksandr Darchiev met with Luna, a Republican from Florida, and handed her files compiled from the Russian state archives, diplomats said.

According to the Russian Embassy, many of the files had already been presented to the US by Soviet officials during Kennedy’s funeral in 1963.

“I have received a hard copy of the report on JFK’s assassination from the Ambassador of Russia. A team of experts is enroute to my office in the morning to begin translation and full review of documents,” Luna wrote on X.

Luna said journalist Jefferson Morley is helping her review the 350-page collection. “We will be posting translations, prepared by fluent Russian speakers, of significant material in the document. We will provide context on what this document is, how it came to be, and how it compares with what is known about Russia’s response to JFK’s assassination,” Morley wrote on X.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker Vows to Imprison ICE Agents When Democrats Take Back Power: ‘The Tables Will Turn One Day’

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has vowed to prosecute Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a post-Trump era.

Pritzker made the comments during an interview with FOX 32 Chicago this week as ICE agents step up their efforts across the city of Chicago.

“The tables will turn one day,” Prtizker explained.

”These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations would not have run out.”

The 60-year-old added that he had spoken with Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and other Democratic officials about their legal options.

“We’re talking to the state’s attorneys and Attorney General to see how they can go at this because what we want to make sure is that they follow the law,” he said.

Pritzker has become a central figure in the Democratic resistance over the past few months as the Trump administration seeks to clean up Chicago and follow through on its promise of mass deporting illegal aliens.

“This is a dangerous time,” he argued. “The President of the United States is causing mayhem in the grounds of our state. He is going after his political opponents.”

”I don’t know why anybody would look at the situation and not recognize he’s moving toward an authoritarian regime in his own image.”

Over the weekend, Pritzker complained that fellow Democrats were not vocally supportive enough of his efforts to prevent ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from carrying out their work.

“ I understand there are people who’ve stood up, I want to say, and we should give kudos to those people,” he said in a conversation with The New Republic.

“I think Cory Booker has been terrific. I think that we’ve seen people standing up—Chris Murphy, Gavin Newsom—you know, there are people who are regularly calling it out. Right. But I wonder about lots of other folks.”

Letitia James’ ‘fugitive’ relative who lives in her Virginia home was arrested twice for assaulting cops: docs

New York’s top law enforcer is housing a cop-hating fugitive relative with a lengthy felony rap sheet — who was twice arrested for assaulting police officers — at one of her Virginia homes, according to court documents.

State Attorney General Letitia James’ grandniece, Nakia Thompson, 36, is wanted for “absconding” from North Carolina after failing to complete the terms of her parole following a 2011 arrest in Winston-Salem, authorities said.

In that case, she was charged with malicious conduct by a prisoner, a felony, along with assault of a government official and resisting a public officer, court records show.

But Thompson has also been repeatedly arrested and cited in Virginia, since moving there — with charges including possession of burglary tools, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and grand larceny.

Since 2020, Thompson has been living at a house owned by James in Norfolk, which is now at the center of a criminal indictment against the AG.

That same year, Thompson was given two years’ probation and ordered to pay $2,020 in fees after she pleaded guilty to petit and grand larceny charges — both felonies, according to court records.

She also had a handful of misdemeanor charges dropped, as well as the felony burglary tools possession charge. 

She has also racked up nine separate vehicle offenses, including as recently as this summer.

In July, Thompson was hit with four citations in a single day, including driving 80 mph in a 55 zone and stopping her vehicle improperly on a highway.

The year before she was once again ticketed for going 80 in a 55, and got a summons for improper child restraint, for which she was later found guilty in absentia and fined $50.

Report: Transgender Identification in ‘Free Fall’ Among Young Americans

Identifying as transgender and queer appears to be “going out of fashion among young people, especially in elite settings,” according to a new report from the Centre for Heterodox Social Science.

The report, authored by Eric Kaufmann, director of the centre and professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, found that transgender and queer identification has dropped sharply among young Americans in Generation Z since 2023. Kaufmann analyzed troves of data from recent surveys about gender and sexuality, including the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) survey, and surveys from elite institutions like Andover Phillips Academy in Boston and Brown University.

“Whether trans and queer identities will drop to 2010 levels is an open question. But the fact both have declined sharply in just two years is a startling and unanticipated post-progressive development that the education and media establishments will be reluctant to acknowledge,” Kaufmann wrote of his research in an article published to UnHerd on Tuesday.

Analyzing raw data from the most recent FIRE survey, which polled over 60,000 students in 2025, Kaufmann found that just 3.6 percent of respondents identified as a “gender” other than male or female. That figures compared to 5.2 percent in 2024 and 6.8 percent in 2022 and 2023.

“In other words, the share of trans-identified students has effectively halved in just two years,” he wrote. 

Kaufmann found that surveys at Andover Phillips Academy and Brown University showed and even more pronounced trend. At Andover, 9.2 percent identified as neither male or female in 2023 but crashed to just 3 percent in 2025. At Brown University, that percentage has dropped from 5 percent in 2022 and 2023 to 2.6 percent in 2025.

State Dept Revokes Visas of Foreigners Who Celebrated Charlie Kirk’s Murder, Says They ‘Wish Death on Americans’

The State Department has started revoking visas for foreigners found to have celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Following Kirk’s brutal assassination during a speaking event at Utah Valley University last month, many leftists took to social media to celebrate his death.

Some of those individuals happened to be guests in the United States.

In a post on the X platform, the State Department said it had “no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.”

“The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk,” the department wrote.

The post then went on to provide the following examples:

— An Argentine national said Kirk “devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric” and “deserves to burn in hell.”

— A South African mocked Americans mourning him, writing that “they’re hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom” and that Kirk “was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash.”

— A Mexican claimed Kirk “died being a racist, he died being a misogynist,” adding, “there are people who deserve to die. There are people who would make the world better off dead.”

— A Brazilian said “Charlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him” and that he “DIED TOO LATE.”

— A German tweeted, “When fascists die, Democrats don’t complain.”

— A Paraguayan wrote, “Charlie Kirk was a son of a b**** and he died by his own rules.”

Each message was followed by the same line: “Visa revoked.”

The Russian Mathematician Who Exposed the Cannibalistic Nature of Socialism

Igor Rostislavovich Shafarevich is not exactly a household name, but the man richly deserves to be remembered, a century after his birth and six years since his death. In 1923, he was born on this date—June 3—in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, about a hundred miles west of Kyiv. He died in 2017 at the age of 93, leaving behind remarkable contributions to mathematics and, of far greater interest to me, a powerful indictment of the ancient calamity known as socialism.

Shafarevich ranks high in the pantheon of 20th Century mathematicians. His name is attached to numerous pioneering theorems and formulas I can’t begin to understand, but which are celebrated as genius among the numerical cognoscenti. In 1981, he was even inducted into the prestigious Royal Society of London as one of the brightest foreign scientists ever to grace its membership.

Growing up in Ukraine under Soviet-imposed socialism, Shafarevich harbored misgivings about the system from an early age. In his 30s, he began to run afoul of it because of his outspoken support of the Eastern Orthodox faith in an officially atheist empire. He eventually morphed into a full-blown, anti-Marxist dissident and an ally of Andrei Sakharov, the physicist famous for defending human rights against the regime’s assaults. Despite his world-class credentials in mathematics, Shafarevich was fired from Moscow University because of his collaboration with Sakharov.

When the great Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (author of The Gulag Archipelago and other seminal works) delivered his famous address at Harvard University in 1978, he cited a book by Igor Shafarevich that had appeared three years before. Solzhenitsyn, in fact, wrote the Foreword to the book’s English translation. 

Titled The Socialist Phenomenon, it is Shafarevich’s most significant and memorable foray outside mathematics and should rank as a classic in the voluminous, definitive critiques of socialism. My copy, purchased in 1981, is full of marks and notations where I found insights I did not want to forget.

The first 200 pages of the book surveys socialist ideas and experiments in history, from Plato and Greece to Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China to the Inca civilization in South America. You can read a good rendition of the book’s chapter on the Incas here. The Incan nation was short-lived (it couldn’t defend itself against a few hundred Spanish) but it may well be the most thoroughly regimented and centrally planned society the world has ever known.

In the final third of the book, or about a hundred pages, Shafarevich offers his analysis of socialism. He argues persuasively that “at least three components of the socialist ideal—the abolition of private property, the abolition of the family and socialist equality—may be deduced from a single principle: the suppression of individuality.”

Socialism presents itself in multiple flavors, of course, but the unadulterated version promises “the greatest possible equality.” This is the height of hypocrisy and delusion, Shafarevich argues, because at the same time, socialism offers up “a strict regimentation of all of life, which would be impossible without absolute control and an all-powerful bureaucracy which would engender an incomparably greater inequality.”

Individuals participate in life as thinking, acting individuals, not as indistinguishable portions of a collectivist blob. “Cultural creativity, particularly artistic creativity, is an example,” the author points out. Renaissance Italians didn’t paint The Last Supper. Leonardo da Vinci did. “And in periods when socialist movements are on the increase, the call for the destruction of culture is heard ever more distinctly,” Shafarevich explains.

State of Oregon to Spend More on Program That Offers Free Healthcare to Illegal Aliens Than Entire Budget of State Police

Democrats keep insisting that they are not keeping the government shut down over healthcare for illegal aliens, but the evidence contradicts them.

Everyone knows they want that.

Just look at what is happening in the Democrat-led state of Oregon. The state is about to spend more on healthcare for illegal aliens than they spend on their state police, and not by a small amount. We’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars.

Breitbart News reports:

Report: Dem-Led Oregon on Track to Spend $500 Million More for Healthcare Program that Includes Illegals than for State Police

The Democrat-led state of Oregon is on track to spend $500 million more on a program that includes free health care for illegal migrants than on its state police budget, according to reports.

According to state reports, the Healthier Oregon Program (HOP) has a budget currently set at $1.3 billion. The program, which launched in 2022, has seen a rise of 1,100 percent in costs since it launched. Meanwhile, the Oregon State Police have a budget of just over $717 million.

The Oregon Health Authority website says, “Starting July 1, 2023, immigration/citizenship status no longer affects whether someone qualifies for OHP [Full Oregon Health Plan].”

Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin blasted the state for its obscenely lopsided budgeting.

“Absurd. Oregon will spend $500 million+ MORE on free health care for immigrants regardless of legal status than on state police in its current budget period,” McLaughlin wrote in a post on X on Tuesday.

This is one of the reasons why Democrats are losing the optics battle in the shutdown. They can claim until they’re blue in the face that they’re not trying to fund healthcare for illegals, but everyone knows it’s something that they want and believe in.
