Orcas are behaving strangely, lately.

Lately, there’s been a surge in incidents involving Orcas in the Oceans, from a pair of giant beasts killing 17 sharks in one day to a series of attacks on boats.

Now, it’s reported that a pod of killer whales has ‘repeatedly rammed and sunk’ a small yacht filled with tourists out on the coast of Portugal.

The targeted vessel was sailing off the coast of Fonte da Telha beach last Saturday, when the animals struck it.

Daily Mail reported:

“Footage shows several orcas chasing the boat before they start violently slamming against it, sending the sailors into a panic as one person shouts ‘Oh my God’.

The ship tilts dangerously from side to side before slowly submerging and sinking.”

The Portuguese National Maritime Authority stated that the sailboat belonged to the Nautic Squad club and carried five people, all tourists.

“A second recreational vessel, further north off Cascais, carried four people and also had to be assisted after encountering the same group of orcas.”

Nine people on board of the two boats were rescued by nearby vessels before the official lifeguards reached the scene.

“The Maritime Authority said the Lisbon Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Centre received the first alert at 12:30pm and dispatched lifeguards immediately. […] Some reported seeing a pod of four orcas, while another skipper said just one whale struck the rudder two or three times, causing cracks that let water flood in.”

Sailors are staying in port after it’s been revealed that the killer whales have shifted their yacht attacks to shallow waters.

Ever since 2019, the orcas have repeatedly targeted boats in the sea of Galicia, usually striking the rudder.

“Between 2020 and 2023 there were reportedly around 500 attacks.”

Journalist Mark Halperin appeared on the Megyn Kelly podcast on Wednesday and said that the assassination of Charlie Kirk could actually change the outcome of next year’s midterm elections.

Halperin explained that he has been dumbfounded by the reaction of Democrats to Kirk’s murder and says that Democrats have absolutely no idea how huge Kirk was as a figure or the massive size of Kirk’s reach.

Megyn adds that many people are running away from the Democrats simply based on the left’s ghoulish reaction to the murder.

The Daily Caller has more details:

Journalist Mark Halperin told SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly on Monday that he believes the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk could have serious consequences for Democrats in the upcoming elections.

Following Kirk’s murder on Wednesday, some Democrats celebrated his death while others blamed President Donald Trump’s rhetoric. Discussing Democrats’ responses to the assassination on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Halperin said the party is back to demonizing Kirk even in his death because of his ties to Trump, since that’s “the only way they think.”

“Is it that, Mark? Is it that? A legit question. I don’t know the answer. Or is it that he’s suddenly an enormous threat?” Kelly asked.

“They don’t know what a threat he is. They know so little about him. I think this could change the entire midterms,” Halperin said. “Yeah, I think this could be galvanizing the way the Dobbs [v. Jackson] decision was. But they have no idea what he did. They don’t have any idea what his following is like.”

Halperin is right about the Democrats being clueless about Kirk. It certainly would explain their insane reaction to his murder.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker recently claimed that he has never called Republicans ‘Nazis’ but that is a laughable suggestion.

There is video evidence of Pritzker, repeatedly comparing the Trump administration to Nazi Germany, stoking fear about the idea of losing democracy and trying to make people fear Republicans.

This is the type of rhetoric that led to the assassination of Charlie Kirk and even if the Democrats won’t admit that out loud, they know it.

Breitbart News reports:

Radical left-wing Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) was hit with an avalanche of fact-checks after he made the false claim that he never called Republicans “Nazis.”

The far-left governor was peppered with questions about his past comments during a press conference Monday, and in response he vehemently refuted claims he ever called Republicans “Nazis.”

“That is completely false. I have never called Republicans ‘Nazis,’” Pritzker exclaimed Monday after going on a tirade claiming that it is Donald Trump, not Democrats, who is “actively fanning the flames of division.”

But the truth is, Pritzker has spent months calling Republicans and Donald Trump Nazis. Indeed, in February he did just that in his official State of the State address where he compared Donald Trump and his administration to Hitler’s Nazi regime.

Pritzker said in that official address:

The authoritarian playbook is laid bare here: They point to a group of people who don’t look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems. If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this: It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

Just look at this video:

Democrats know exactly what they have done here. Their rhetoric has come back to haunt them and no one has forgotten a thing.

Various Democrats keep calling on the right to tone things down, even though the violence is coming from their side. The ladies of ‘The View’ on ABC apparently didn’t get the memo because they have gone right back to their toxic style of broadcasting.

During the program on Wednesday, host Joy Behar lamented that “the elephant in the room is that we’re screwed!” as she pointed out that we still have more than three years left in Trump’s presidency.

Wait until she finds out what just happened to Jimmy Kimmel. By the way Joy, you might not want to make jokes about elephants in the room.

NewsBusters reports:

The body of conservative activist Charlie Kirk wasn’t even in the ground yet when ABC co-host Joy Behar decided to go back to spewing inciting rhetoric against President Trump and conservatives. During Wednesday’s episode of The View, Behar proclaimed that America was “screwed” and moderator Whoopi Goldberg proclaimed that she didn’t know how long the Constitution would last. And not a single person on set seemed to reflect on their hyperbolic doomsaying given recent events.

An exasperated Behar interjected during their conversation about the Senate hearing of FBI Director Kash Patal to fret about the future of the country:

BEHAR: You know. I’m sorry, I feel as though–

GOLDBERG: Take a breath. Take a deep breath. Take a breath, Joy, take a breath and tell us.

BEHAR: I feel like we’re trapped in a bad movie, like you’ve got these incompetent people running the government and we’re like a bunch of sitting ducks. You’ve got the puppy killer. You’ve got the signal cake guy, what’s his name, Hegseth.

“I mean, there’s no end to the incompetency that we are experiencing as Americans!” she shouted. “So, I can almost not even talk about individual situations like this, because the overall picture and the elephant in the room is that we’re screwed!”

Here’s the clip:

And The View is already back to using inciting rhetoric against the Trump administration and conservatives:

JOY BEHAR: The overall picture and the elephant in the room is that we’re screwed [as a country].

ABC did the right thing with Kimmel. When are they going to give ‘The View’ the same treatment?

If you are ever considering going for a hike in a vast mountain range, it’s probably a good idea to leave your psychedelic drugs at home.

Four hikers who ignored this simple rule of thumb became lost and disoriented in the Catskill Mountains of New York this week after eating some magic mushrooms. They ended up calling for help and were luckily found by rangers.

These folks could have easily become part of the group of human beings who mysteriously go missing every year.

FOX News reports:

Four hikers on psychedelic mushrooms rescued in popular mountain destination

Four hikers who admitted to taking psychedelic mushrooms were rescued in New York’s Catskill Mountains after becoming disoriented and straying off the trail, officials said. It’s the second such case this year in New York’s popular mountain areas.

The group called for help around 5 p.m. on Aug. 29 when one member suffered a “debilitating high,” according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

Forest rangers and the Pine Hill Fire Department located the group at about 6:45 p.m. – less than 1,000 feet from the marked trail.

The four men are in their 20s and one hiker was in the fetal position and unable to communicate, according to the New York Times.

One hiker was hallucinating about a bridge that did not exist, Forest Ranger Russell Martin told Fox News Digital…

“This was treacherous, steep Catskill terrain and when people intentionally get high like this, it reduces their ability to make good decisions,” Russell said. “Mushrooms are illegal, but whether you’re using marijuana or alcohol, it’s a good idea to make sure you’re with at least one responsible person who is not partaking.”

Here’s a short video report:

These folks should thank their lucky stars that they were found. This could have ended very badly.
