Agroup of masked neo-Nazis marched through the capital of Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon waving swastikas around, shouting racial slurs at onlookers, and chanting “there will be blood.” About two dozen men wearing red shirts that identified them as members of Blood Tribe—a white supremacist group that has been trying to make a name for itself since 2021 by targeting Jews, people of color, and the LGBTQ community—took part in the march in Madison, according to local reports. Footage from the scene showed them standing in formation to perform a Nazi salute while onlookers mostly mocked them and called them “disgusting.”...

Kamala Harris loves her Venn Diagrams, so I made her one.

Nearly everyone has had the experience of being micromanaged at work, and it is a very oppressive work situation. Micromanagement exhibits lack of trust on the part of your supervisor, reduces productivity, and above all, is highly stressful and counter to human nature. How would you like it if your private life – your day-to-day affairs – were micromanaged? I suspect you would violently balk at the idea. Yet, it is coming. In some parts of the globe, one piece is already in place, that of the Social Credit Score introduced by and managed by the government of China. The...

his winter, New York won't be using electric snow plows. Failure of vehicle tests has caused the local snow removal company to revert to diesel-powered vehicles. The New York Department of Sanitation had three years ago, requested several Mack electric trucks. Primarily intended to clean streets and remove garbage, one of these trucks had been fitted with a snow plow as part of an experiment. This decision was unsurprising since in the "Big Apple", it's standard practice to fit garbage trucks with plows. The experiment was not successful. The plow, dragging across the road and the snow buildup in front...

The Federal Government throws out inflation numbers that don't even have a glancing interaction with reality. Every since they stopped including fuel, housing, and food in the CPI, it in no way reflects day to day existence here on the ground. Remember as a youth, you'd buy a big bag of Doritos for your party and you'd spend 99 cents? Well, I bought a much smaller bag for $4.69. Funions? $5.69. The bagels I'd but at Aldies went from $1.69 for 6 to $3.19 for 5. A bag of navel Oranges now costs $3.69 for 5. Things like Doritos have...

Law enforcement in Colorado is investigating after they said a "heavily armed" man was found dead inside an amusement park over the weekend "wearing body armor" with "multiple improvised explosive devices" on him. The Garfield County Sheriff's Office reported that Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park employees notified officials the body of the 22-year-old man was found Saturday morning, prior to the park opening. * The park is located in Glenwood Springs, a resort city in the Rocky Mountains surrounded by the White River National Forest.

during a speech on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris praised Australia’s strict gun control laws, which include a ban on automatic and semi-automatic firearms and a mandatory buyback program that removed nearly 700,000 privately-owned firearms from circulation in the 1990s. “In our country today, the leading cause of death of American children is gun violence. Gun violence has terrorized and traumatized so many of our communities in the United States,” Harris said. “And let us be clear, it does not have to be this way – as our friends in Australia have demonstrated.” Unlike in the U.S., Australian citizens do...

Germany's interior minister said on Friday Hamas supporters should be deported from the country where possible, and authorities would keep a close eye on potential threats following the Palestinian militant group's attack on Israel. "If we are able to deport Hamas supporters, we must do this," Nancy Faeser said following talks with officials at the Federal Criminal Police Office. "Our security authorities have currently placed an even stronger focus on the Islamist scene," she added, pointing to a recent attack in Brussels as an indication of the threat.

The Pentagon recently retracted a directive that demanded the exclusive use of gender-neutral pronouns in specific award citations. This policy reversal followed significant public and political reaction. Initially, the "gender-neutral" pronouns rule was quietly introduced, but it stirred controversy, leading to its prompt review. The unfolding of these events presents a significant episode in the ongoing discourse around gender identity and language in official domains.

Pro-Palestinian protestors are taking over the U.S. Capitol as hundreds demand a ceasefire between Hamas terrorists in Gaza and Israel. The demonstration comes a day after a bombing of a hospital in Gaza killed at least 500 Palestinians.

It says exactly how to torture them, Israel's President Isaac Herzog said Hamas terrorists are carrying "instruction guides" on how to torture and kidnap civilians, as he explained the kind of "extremely cruel and inhumane enemy" his country is fighting against. "I saw the skull of a woman, in which house I visited, the house totally destroyed, totally destroyed, and they just cut her head off," Herzog said. "I saw a pool of blood in that house where the picture of the children is hanging, and the grandchildren are hanging on the wall with the knives and the hatchets which...

A liberal journalist is arguing that the term "terrorism" should be retired as the terrorist organization Hamas launched horrific attacks in Israel, leading to the murder of at least 1,000 Israelis, Americans among them. Substack writer Hamilton Nolan wrote that for journalists to elevate the knowledge of media consumers, "one small thing" he and others can do is to no longer use the words "terrorism," "terrorist" and "terror" in their reporting. "Decades of evidence show that the more the media pushes this concept, the more warped the public understanding of global events becomes. I am making this not as a...

More than 30 student organizations at Harvard University are holding Israel “entirely responsible” for Hamas’ attack on the Jewish nation over the weekend. In a letter entitled “Joint Statement by Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine,” 31 student organizations — including the Ivy League’s affiliate of Amnesty International — condemned Israel, even as its residents are kidnapped and more than 700 have been killed by the terrorist organization. The groups claim Hamas’ attack “did not happen in a vacuum,” and the Israeli government has forced Palestinians to live in an “open-air prison for over two decades,” according...

A groundbreaking, newly released study (via Futurism), spearheaded by the University of Bristol, bears some not-so-good news: we have 250 million years (give or take) until the Earth looks less like the "pale blue dot" we all know and love and more…like Arrakis, from the Dune Universe. That's right-the planet's land masses seem to be slowly but surely congealing into one humongous supercontinent, at least according to the data returned from the University of Bristol's high-powered climate model. Their study, formally published in the science journal Nature Geosciences, anticipates the continental merger will eventuate a globe-sized, one-continent-fits-all "Pangea Ultima." A...

I really didn't give Starfield a proper review, last time, as I hadn't really played it. I just offered my first impressions. Well, I finally have had some time to really play it, and my review can be summed up in one sentence: Bethesda has managed to make space boring. It's formulaic: Hear about a mission, travel to the planet, land where specified, fight some bad guys, get the McGuffin or the information, travel back, get your reward. Yay. Yes, you can survey a planet, but even that becomes repetitive. Find the x number or resources, scan them, find the...

President Joe Biden delivered remarks on the economy in Maryland today with Democrat Maryland Governor Wes Moore. During his speech, Biden made an odd remark about Moore, stating, “Gov, my problem is your biceps are a little small.” During another portion of Biden’s speech, the President began violently shouting, screaming at the top of his lungs as a vein appeared on his forehead. Biden seemed to lose his cool. He can be quoted as shouting, “Same exact drug, made by the same exact company!” The screaming seemed to come out of nowhere, and drew an audible gasp from the audience....

Harro everynyan. How are you fine sank you.I found out the hard way, it is critical that each of you have a disaster recovery plan in place, as regards your personal computer and important emails.One of my computers lost function of its graphics card. It boots fine but I cannot see anything on the monitor except for brief moments. The monitor is working fine; its definitely the graphics card. I was in the process of transferring to a new computer and was about halfway finished. I was able to log into my most important email account (the one just about...

I recently bought Starfield, a game put out by the creators of Skyrim and Fallout. While it is not quite as engaging as Fallout, it seems pretty good. I am also delighted to let you know that it follows in an old Bethesda tradition: It is a buggy mess. Word of advice: SAVE OFTEN. When your computer reboots you can resum,e from there.

Fani Willis's involvement will be sure to send shockwaves through the political landscape. The investigation, which spans across multiple states and multiple jurisdictions, has revealed a complex network of illicit operations aimed at undermining the very foundation of our Constitutional Republic and the rule of law. Sources close to the matter suggest that Willis was a massive beneficiary in the Federal and Georgia RICO enterprises. It appears that she is currently playing a key role in orchestrating a systematic scheme to manipulate election outcomes, casting doubt on the integrity of the entire electoral process. In the lead up to the...
