American Katie Ledecky made history on Saturday with her ninth career Olympic gold while Canada’s Summer McIntosh underlined her status as the rising star of the sport with her third gold of the Paris Games. Ledecky powered to a fourth straight 800m Olympic freestyle title to equal the record for most gold medals won by a woman athlete in any sport. The 17-year-old McIntosh produced a superb late surge to win the 200m individual medley to add to her triumphs in the 400m medley and 200m butterfly. Ledecky has dominated in the 800m since winning the event as a 15-year-old at the London Games in 2012, and while she was pushed all the way by Australian Ariarne Titmus, the defence of her crown never truly looked in danger. The 27-year-old hit the wall in 8min 11.04sec, ahead of Titmus (8:12.29) and the United States’ Paige Madden (8:13.00) “I knew Ariarne was going to give me everything she had,” said Ledecky. “I felt confident coming into it, but it was gonna be tough no matter what all the way down to the finish. “I just had to stick in the race and trust myself, trust my training, trust that I know… CONTINUE READING…

According to recent reports, the popular chain restaurant Cracker Barrel faces financial consequences after joining a long list of companies and pushing a woke agenda.  The restaurant is known for appealing to conservatives in rural communities who often disagree with liberal politics.

Recently, a hilarious parody campaign ad for Vice President Kamala Harris was released and has taken the internet by storm.  Since Harris has stepped up as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee after President Joe Biden announced he would be dropping out of the 2024 race, she has faced intense scrutiny as the American public assesses the prospect of her running the country. The video, which was either created with artificial intelligence or a highly skilled voice actor, addresses several prominent criticisms of Harris. It opens by suggesting she was launching her presidential bid because of Biden’s apparent “senility.”  It further highlights her status as a minority and a woman, playing off arguments that Harris was a “DEI” selection as Biden’s running mate. “I, Kamal Harris, and your Democrat candidate for president because Joe Biden finally exposed to senility debate,” the video opened, addressing the president’s infamously bad performance during the presidential debate in late June, which ostensibly ended his participation in the 2024 race.   Following the debate, Biden faced calls from Democrats to step down for weeks leading up to his decision to withdraw. The clip then joked about Kamala Harris’ intersectional identities, where many claim she is in her… CONTINUE READING…

PHILADELPHIA – Former President Donald Trump announced on social media late Friday night that he had agreed to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News next month. The debate will be on Sept. 4, in a yet-to-be-named location in Pennsylvania, according to Trump. Trump’s post on Truth Social also noted that a previously scheduled ABC News debate with President Joe Biden – prior to the suspension of his campaign – had been canceled. He cited his lawsuit against the network and host George Stephanopoulos. “I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.” Fox News says the debate will be moderated by Bret Baier and Martha Martha MacCallum, and that the rules will be similar to the June 27 debate on CNN between Trump and Biden. The Fox News debate, however, will have spectators.  Harris has said she was ‘ready’ to debate Trump and accused the former president of backpedaling away from… CONTINUE READING…
