  • Secret Service Brass Interfered in IG Assassination Probe

    RealClear Politics ^ | 31 Oct, 2024 | Susan Crabtree
    Secret Service leaders meddled in an independent government investigation of the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump and are still not following many basic agency security protocols for presidential candidates, presidents, and vice presidents in the final days before the election, according to emails reviewed by RealClearPolitics and several sources in the Secret Service community. As Secret Service failures came to light in the weeks after the July assassination attempt, USSS managers sent emails to employees asking them to alert them to any “direct requests for information or interview” from the Department of Homeland Security Office of...

    Golden State wait. A California lottery fanatic claimed he hasn’t seen a dime of his Powerball jackpot winnings worth $44 million in the over two months since he matched all six numbers. Jerry, an everyday lotto player who “plays all the games,” tried his luck at the Aug. 19 drawing. Armed with his lucky number 10, Jerry, whose last name remained unknown, purchased a ticket at a Ralphs grocery store in southern Orange County and became the sole winner of the $44.3 million top prize.

    American Thinker ^ | October 31, 2024 | Patricia McCarthy
    The only thing Kamala Harris has going for her is her extreme position on abortion. She has nothing else. The Biden regime has been a disaster by every criterion – domestic (unlimited immigration), foreign policy (wars on three fronts), economic (disastrous inflation), military (eviscerated and transgenderized). Harris supports no restrictions on abortion up to and including birth. When pushed on this, she says it’s not true but it is. Harris and all her pro-abortion apostles scream at crowds about how Trump would ban abortion – a lie. He has said repeatedly that he would never sign a federal ban on...

The shooting unfolded around 11:30 p.m. on the Southern State Parkway near Exit 17, according to state police and sources. The trooper had pulled over a black Dodge Charger and during the car stop they were shot by a person in the vehicle, according to sources.

    NY Post ^ | 10/31/2024 | Reuven Fenton and Mark Lungariello
    MONROE, CONNECTICUT – The world’s most famous paranormal-investigating couple left behind a museum full of real-life “haunted” relics they collected in their adventures – including the creepy doll that inspired the horror movie “Annabelle.” Late husband-and-wife couple Ed and Lorraine Warren, who are now immortalized as characters in “The Conjuring” series of movies, kept an occult museum on their property that is no longer open to the public. But those lucky enough – or unlucky enough – to get a look inside are surrounded by occult items like haunted fragments of crashed Eastern Airlines Flight 401, an organ that plays...

    [Written in 2002. Events like this could happen in 2025 if President Harris carries out her threats to ban semi-automatic weapons by executive decree.] “I need to get gas,” Brad told her, and he pulled over onto the exit lane for Hoffler Boulevard. The exit ramp cut through a break in the wall of pines alongside the highway, then curved off out of sight to the right and sloped gently downward. “Oh crap, what’s this?” he said, braking quickly. Ranya bolted upright and buckled her seatbelt. There was a police cruiser on the side of the ramp just beyond the...

    New American Prophet ^ | October 31, 2024 | Dr. Jerry Newcombe
    It seems like a cliché to say that this is the most important election in our lifetime. But it feels like that right now. Here are a few different things I think are at stake in 2024, of importance to those who share a Biblical worldview. The Value of Human Life One party celebrates abortion up to the moment of birth, although they won’t admit that they want it up to the moment of birth. The other camp wants to allow some modest restrictions on abortion.

    Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 29 Oct, 2024 | Framcis Menton
    Less than three weeks ago, on October 10, I had a post about Cuba with the headline “What The Hell Is Going On In Cuba?” The post noted that it is difficult to get real information from Cuba, and that there had recently been almost total silence about that island from the mainstream media. But if one researched some out-of-the-way sources, it turned out that there is some sort of sudden economic collapse going on there. Besides economic production declining significantly, and pervasive shortages of basic goods, there was also information from a source in Spain (El Pais) that Cuba’s...

    Hello, fellow garbage people! Happy Halloween! I assume many of you will be dressing up as refuse for Halloween tonight. Hefty bag? Trash bin? Dumpster? All great costumes! However, those of you who wish to do something a bit more out of character could put on a Chicago White Sox jersey and go as a minor league ballplayer! But I kid! Speaking of kids, if you happen to be dressed up as a nanny, don’t go knocking at Doug Emhoff’s door! No, seriously! Ha, ha, ha! As I have referenced in the past, this can be a confusing time of...

    Many around the world think America is great because of its Constitution. But America is great because of its people. We are ceaselessly reminded of the high stakes of the pending election. Pundits and candidates warn of stark consequences for energy policy, taxation, defense budgets, immigration, and reproductive rights. No one speaks of the highest stake, and greatest threat, of this election: the fate of the social compact that binds our nation. When most people speak of social structure, they nearly always refer to the laws and official institutions which determine how the government relates to you and me --...

    As the weeks marched on in the 2024 presidential campaign, the rhetoric emanating from the Ruling Class continued to plumb new depths in crassness and incivility. As the weeks marched on in the 2024 presidential campaign, the rhetoric emanating from the Democrat Party and legacy media wing of the Ruling Class continued to plumb new depths in crassness and incivility. In the past week, led by their loathsome ventriloquist dummy, Kamala Harris, they have made the entire focus of the campaign the vile accusation that Donald Trump is not only another wannabe Hitler, but he will follow in Hitler’s footsteps...

    Puerto Rican voters make up a vital demographic in some of the most contested areas in the U.S. There are around 5.8 million people of Puerto Rican origin living in the U.S., according to 2021 census data.

    In 1945, Hitler continued to deny the apparent defeat that awaited him. In a final insane attempt to turn the tide of the war and make up for the lack of soldiers old enough to go into battle, he recruited massively from among the Hitler Youth, enlisting children as young as 12 years old. These little soldiers were sent to fight battles that they had no hope of winning. Nonetheless, as a rule, they fought zealously. As the Allied troops advanced, they were shocked to discover that there were also children among the countless German prisoners. Around 10 000 of...
  • Election Update: Same Answer - where the white women at

    I said ten days ago that the final weeks of the election were likely to produce a bunch of psychotic anti-informative noise that should mostly be ignored, and that’s still my answer. We learned on The View this week that Trump is going to use his presidency to deport non-white women and then forcibly reassign their white husbands and boyfriends to white partners. We learned from Michelle Obama that Trump only has support in this election because cruel men are deliberately torturing their helpless women by voting for a mean misogynist, and the way to deal with that problem is...

    The estranged wife of an elderly financier griped in Manhattan court Tuesday that he gave her a measly allowance of $10,000 a month — then slashed it in half when she asked him to start his estate planning. Stephanie Foster, 57, added that hubby John H. Foster — an 82-year-old private-equity bigshot now claiming dire financial straits in their multiyear divorce proceeding — eventually dwindled her allowance to nothing, forcing her to submit expense reports to his management company to get reimbursed. She complained on the stand that even his initial hefty monthly payout to her “was less than what...

    Two months ago, as the Democrats were preparing for their national convention in Chicago, we were concerned that it would be a repeat of the party’s 1968 convention that was marred by riots. But sanity prevailed. It was a relatively quiet affair. Will the Democrats be just as quiet if Donald Trump wins next week’s election? It’s more likely that they will erupt with rage. After all, there have been two failed attempts to assassinate Trump. Yes, the suspects in both cases appear to be disturbed. But it’s been the nonstop vilification of the former president from the left that...
