The median ticket price for Sunday’s Super Bowl is $7,497.

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.
Except in the United States.

Of 3800 children & infants taken into immigration custody Jan-Oct 2025, 2600 were detained by ICE officers.
Those kids weren't arrested at the border. They weren't new arrivals seeking help. They were kids going about their daily lives here—often with legal status.
