Rashida Tlaib spoke at the radical left People’s Conference for Palestine, spewing her usual anti-American and Jew hate bile to enthusiastic applause and a standing ovation.

A sophomore football player at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point joined his father in heroically rescuing a man from a burning car just before it became engulfed in flames. The courageous actions of Army football safety Larry Pickett Jr. and his father Larry Pickett Sr. were caught on video as they seized the driver of the car — which was near downed power lines — and carried him away. “At one point, a woman could be heard screaming: ‘Larry! Come on! Come on! Get him out!’” ESPN reported. The car smashed into a utility pole in Fort Montgomery, New York, roughly four miles from West Point on Sunday. Pickett Jr. was driving back to the West Point campus with his dad and his sister, Lauren, after having dinner in Manhattan. Lauren took the video of her brother and father pulling the man to safety. “Just after Midnight, I watched in awe as my son, Larry Pickett Jr., ran toward a burning vehicle, ignoring the downed power lines crackling around it,” Pickett Sr. wrote on Facebook. “With immense courage, he pulled a man to safety, saving him from a fiery fate.” “There was no discussion. My son just jumped right into action,” Larry Pickett Sr. told WTVD-TV. “He mentioned his military training kicked in, and we pulled him out. He took care of him on the side of the road until the police officers got there. And then the fire department got there shortly after.” “It’s just amazing to see him in action. And it’s just not surprising because we’ve watched him his whole life do amazing things,” he added. “We’re proud of the heroic actions taken Saturday night by Cadet Larry Pickett Jr, a second-year cadet &  @ArmyWP_Football  player, & his father who are seen pulling a driver to safety in a video online taken by the family. Their actions are the embodiment of the @USArmy  Values,” the U.S. Military Academy wrote on X.

Have you ever stopped and admired a bird soaring through the sky? It’s fun to imagine what it must feel like to travel in such a fun way. But have you ever thought about what it’s like for a bird to learn how to fly? As natural as this ability is for our feathered friend, it’s not innate. So, this leaves bird parents with the responsibility to teach their young ones. And, as luck would have it, a woman named Brit caught a mama owl and her baby in the middle of one of these lessons. According to Brit’s social media post, this owl and her baby’s lesson took place near her work. One day, the two of them were clearly in the middle of a flight lesson. As the baby owl struggled to get their wings to flap just right, mom patiently watched nearby. Witness this precious moment for yourself in the video below! @its.brits.wrld2.0 When the mama owl flys away but I know she’s watching her babe closely. #Owls #Mama #BabyOwl #Nature #WildLife ♬ One more light – As soon as the baby owl takes off a bit, mama flies away. But don’t worry — she’s likely nearby. While most owls do leave the nest after a few weeks, depending on the type of owl, she won’t fully leave until her baby is ready. Mama Owl Teaches Her Baby to Fly, and Now We’re All Crying This sweet and simple video has quite a few people talking. For starters, one commenter makes a hilarious observation, noting that “we all learn to drive/fly in the local random parking lot.” In addition to the funny comments, however, are ones that are quite emotional. “This reminds me of when my mommy 1st taught me how to drive in a parking lot,” someone shares in reply to Brit’s heartwarming video. Other commenters add, “Enjoy while it lasts, once [they’re] mature there’s no turning back” and “Why am I crying [though].” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

'Night People’: The Great Anti-Communist Movies Of the 1950s

Good thing Jackie Alemany, co-host of MSNBC's The Weekend, wasn't being dramatic on Sunday. Otherwise, she might have said something like "The continued existence of all life on earth hangs in the balance!" Instead, the utterly undramatic Alemany merely said that if Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook was fired, "The stability of the global economy hangs in the balance." Alemany warned that global markets could enter a "red zone" if Cook's tenure went kaput. If her continued membership on the Federal Reserve Board was so vital to the world's economy, perhaps Cook should have considered that before making allegedly false statements on multiple mortgage applications! Alemany asked former Obama aide Norm Eisen, a lawyer representing Cook, a very simple question: "Did she commit mortgage fraud?" Eisen declined to deny that Cook committed fraud. He chose instead to "stick with what we've said in argument and in the papers." Not exactly the kind of outraged, flat denial of criminal activity that you might expect from a defense lawyer!     As to what was in those "papers" that Eisen hid behind, they contain the suggestion that Cook might have committed "clerical errors" in her loan documents. So, Cook was incapable of avoiding errors that a decent clerk wouldn't make? Then, criminality aside, she has no business being a governor of the world's most important bank, and should be fired for gross incompetence! Ironically, Eisen was President Obama's Special Counsel for Ethics. He, of all people, should know unethical behavior when he sees it. Was that what made him reluctant to answer Alemany's simple question: Did Cook commit mortgage fraud? The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: MSNBC's The Weekend 8-31-25 8:05 am EDT JACKIE ALEMANY: I do want to stay on the topic of Lisa Cook for a minute. Norm, can you explain to us what exactly the state of play is with Ms. Cook, and whether or not she's going to be able to maintain her job?  I mean, it does, not to be dramatic here, but it does sound like the potential stability of the global economy sort of hangs in the balance.  EUGENE DANIELS: Yeah, just something small like that.  ALEMANY: Because, I mean, if, if she is ousted, Trump puts in an appointee, he gets what he wants in terms of lowering interest rates. I mean, it could send the markets into some red zone.  DANIELS: And, Norm, you are one of her lawyers.  ALEMANY: Yeah, I'm not sure how much you're allowed to disclose, but we'd love to hear what's going on.  DANIELS: Disclose a lot. No one's [inaudible.]  NORM EISEN: Um, Jackie, at Democracy Defenders Fund, we have over 125 legal matters, including representing Lisa Cook together with the great folks at Lowell & Associates.  I think on that case, because it is active litigation, as much as I love you all, I'm going to say we filed some powerful complaint brief. We had a lengthy argument in court last week, and we'll be filing another submission on Tuesday morning, and I'm going to rest on those arguments and the papers.  ALEMANY: But in terms of you having the ability to clear the -- to state the facts. Clear the record: Did she commit mortgage fraud, as the Trump administration is alleging?  EISEN: I'm just going to stick with what we've said in argument, and what we've said in the papers. Keep a sharp eye out Tuesday morning, we'll have another very hard-hitting filing for you.  LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: You should bring us the news here first! 

Peter Thiel might be the biggest head-scratcher in Silicon Valley. He’s a billionaire, a Trump-Vance-supporting Republican, a married gay man, a transhumanism enthusiast, and ... drum roll ... a “Christian.”He’s publicly declared that Christianity is true and that Christ is the best role model; he’s deeply involved in various Christian organizations; and yet he’s openly admitted his affinity for transhumanism, believing that the future of humanity is a world where man conquers mortality by fusing with technology. It’s a twisted, human-centric version of the transformed, glorified body Christians are promised after death, says BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey.Recently Thiel has been in the headlines for his seminars on the Antichrist, which are a bizarre blend of theology and his controversial views on technology and transhumanism. In short, Thiel speculates that Revelation’s beast will be deeply connected to artificial intelligence. Whether a human leveraging AI for control, a pseudo-human system, or an AI-driven global order, Thiel is confident that artificial intelligence will play a key role in the end times.And he’s not the first to suggest this. The idea that AI and the Antichrist are irrevocably connected — and maybe even synonymous — is a theory that has gained traction in recent years. When you think about it, the proposition isn’t all that crazy. AI’s capacity for global control, deception, economic dominance through digital systems, and false promises of salvation uncannily mirrors Revelation’s description of the Antichrist’s deceptive, totalitarian rule.Despite Thiel’s theological waywardness, is there merit to his Antichrist warnings? Should we take him seriously?BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey dove into Thiel’s Antichrist theory on a recent episode of “Relatable.” Her conclusion? It’s complicated. In an interview with New York Times opinion columnist Ross Douthat on the “Interesting Times” podcast, Thiel described the Antichrist as “a potential systemic threat rather than a literal individual, suggesting it could manifest as a one-world totalitarian state that promises peace and safety but suppresses freedom,” says Allie.He explained that the Antichrist might weaponize fearmongering about technology’s dangers, like rogue AI, to trick people into accepting a powerful, centralized (likely AI-enabled) authority. In other words, he (or it) would convince the globe that the only way to avoid technology-induced apocalyptic scenarios and ensure safety and peace for all is to consolidate power, including technological power, under a global regime.But some have noticed a strange incongruence. Thiel co-founded Palantir Technologies, which develops and produces the very types of technology he claims the Antichrist could wield against humanity.Douthat called him out on this contradiction in their interview. “You're an investor in AI; you're deeply invested in Palantir, in military technology, in technologies of surveillance, in technologies of warfare, and so on, right? And it just seems to me that when you tell me a story about the Antichrist coming to power and using the fear of technological change to sort of impose order on the world, I feel like that Antichrist would maybe be using the tools that you are building,” he said.Another glaring contradiction is Thiel’s support for transhumanism — the merging of man and machine to achieve immortality. This is, again, the very type of technology he warns could be monopolized and weaponized by the Antichrist.What gives?When Allie heard Thiel’s Antichrist theory, her red flag immediately went up. Thiel’s prediction seems to suggest that because the Antichrist will promote “technological stagnation” in order to gather power to himself, the best way to prevent such a scenario is to continue investing and advancing technology — even merging with it.“It is interesting and maybe questionable that someone who makes a lot of money through technology would say that stopping technological innovation is actually going to, you know, usher in the Antichrist,” she says.But more importantly, does Thiel’s prediction square with scripture’s accounts of the Antichrist?The Bible outlines the Antichrist as a "man of lawlessness” (2 Thessalonians 2) who will exercise authority over "every tribe and people and language and nation” (Revelation 13) and eventually declare himself God. He is the evil harbinger of Christ’s second coming.“So the debate that Peter Thiel is wading into is what is the means by which this person will be able to convince so many people that he is powerful and needs to have all this authority,” says Allie.“Is it possible that this person uses the threat and the fear of AI-powered Armageddon to gain his power? I would say that is possible. … But is he some kind of metaphor for technological stagnation or climate change or whatever it is? No. [The Antichrist] is an actual man,” she explains.“I do think it's interesting that Peter Thiel is talking about something like this. I would recommend that he and every single person get right with God.”To hear more on Thiel’s Antichrist theories and Allie’s thorough analysis, watch the episode above.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
