It happened in Lawton, Oklahoma, which is about 90 miles southwest of Oklahoma City.

@RealJohnDennis I was threatened tonight to be put “in the hospital a long time” by a prominent San Francisco real estate developer because I’m a Republican. It’s in a text exchange. Have screenshots. Called me a “MAGA bitch.” Should I name him? As I just said in a private thread, I’m sick of being threatened in this town because I’m a Republican. I’m furious at the moment. Want to sleep on it. I pushed back against his insults but did not threaten violence against this person. He brought that up all on his own.

Former NSA and CIA chief Michael Hayden, who has fashioned a post-government career attacking and censoring conservatives, is spending his Thanksgiving week smearing patriotic American Christians who own firearms, claiming they are “no different” from Hamas terrorists. On Wednesday, Michael Hayden responded to a post on X that juxtaposed two photos: one of a woman holding an American flag, Bible, and handgun; the other of Palestinian terrorist Reem Riyashi, who killed herself along with four Israelis in a 2004 suicide bombing that was claimed by Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.

Video: Skip to 5:39 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT9DidiOXrkThen he noticed the same guy... randomly attacking innocent bystanders as they were walking down the sidewalk. One might think this is an open-and-shut case with all the video evidence effspot and his friend handed over to authorities. But if you know anything about the criminal justice system in Los Angeles then you won’t be surprised this guy was released in two hours. As they sped off, the attacker threw a rock or maybe a heavy wad of keys at the side of the car, cracking the window. they called 911 and the cops showed up...

California Democrats are threatening the visitation rights of divorced or separated parents who don’t "affirm" their gender-confused child’s identity under a last-minute change to a proposal meant to protect children from abusers. The Democrats have put forward two bills that would change California family law to make "gender affirmation" part of a child's health, safety, and welfare, trying to pass them side-by-side. The first, which was introduced earlier this year, would allow judges to remove custody from "non-affirming" parents. The second would force custody judges deciding visitation rights to consider "a parent's affirmation of the child's gender identity or gender...

The conduct of Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, Dana Nessel and their ilk needs to be compared to the conduct of disgraced and disbarred Durham County, NC prosecuting attorney Mike Nifong. Nobody in conservative talk radio is making this comparison. They ought to start banging on this drum immediately. The decision of the NC Bar disciplinary commission can be found here. It makes for very interesting reading. https://www.ncbar.gov/orders/06dhc35.pdf

Parents across the country have been seething as they’ve found out how their schools have been propagandizing their children on homosexuality, transgenderism, “diversity,” and phony “anti-racism” and social justice (“equity”) ideas. But that was just the beginning.Parents are in for another huge shock. The Left has much more planned for young minds. In recent years, even in “red” states, the state Departments of Education have become frighteningly radicalized.Watch for “health education” mandates coming on: diagnosing and training your children on mental health; graphic sexuality lessons; pro-abortion messages and resources; inculcating intimate relationship fears; social justice and “anti-discrimination” messages; promoting the...

Violence by trans activists against their political opponents — and anyone who disagrees with them — has been consistently escalating and consistently ignored by the mainstream media. The threats, however, are getting even more brazen, as a TikTok video from transgender activist “Tara” Jay (which he has since deleted after too many people noticed it) made clear. Jay had 2,400 TikTok followers, but his call to arms went viral. Jay — a male who calls himself female (he’s not fooling anyone) — issued a call to trans activists and supporters to purchase weapons to use against anyone who wished to...

A mysteriously wealthy gay couple from Atlanta who have been charged with sodomizing their adopted sons also pimped them out to other local men, disturbing new documents reveal. Zachary Zulock and his husband William Dale Zulock Jr. were once the darlings of the LGBTQ scene in Georgia. Zachary worked for a local bank branch while William worked for a local government customer service center, but somehow the couple were raking in $7,500-a-week. They also built their dream home in an area where similar properties sell for $900,000. Friends and relatives are at a loss over how they made so much...

Last meals requested by condemned inmates across the country have ranged from epic portions to a single plate with barely any food as part of an ongoing ritual that precedes the execution.

More than two dozen environmental organizations petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the use of natural gas for home heating nationwide, arguing the federal agency must regulate “deadly pollution from heating appliances.” The petition, sponsored by the Sierra Club, claims fossil fuel-fired home furnaces, water heaters, clothes dryers and stoves emit enough nitrogen dioxide (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) that they must be classified as “new stationary sources” of air pollutants, placing them in the same regulatory regime as power plants and factories. The petition resembles – but goes beyond Gov. Jared Polis’ Greenhouse Gas Roadmap for a clean...

A counselor who says she works with sex offenders claimed pedophiles are the “most vilified population” in a ten-minute YouTube video. “I want to talk about minor-attracted persons because they are probably the most vilified population of folks in our culture,” Miranda Galbreath began, noting that her “pronouns” are “she/her.” “Most folks are making incorrect assumptions about them without actually knowing much about them. And those assumptions create harm for an already marginalized population,” Galbreath continued. Galbreaths’s claim “shows what a wolf in sheep’s clothing the entire ‘LGBTQ’ movement has become,” responded Candice Jackson, a Trump-era former acting assistant secretary...

Climate change activists in the U.S. and across the world are ramping up their actions in what they say is an attempt to save the planet. In recent months, far-left activists have glued themselves to famous paintings, disrupted new pipeline construction, scaled buildings, blocked rush-hour traffic, lit themselves on fire, threatened to disrupt the Congressional Baseball Game and slashed tires of random sport utility vehicles (SUV) in cities around the world.

Don't believe we're headed for a one-world government soon? Cultural commentator and political activist Charlie Kirk, along with Jack Hibbs, founder and senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in Chino Hills, California, warns you not to be deceived. Kirk, 28, who founded Turning Point Ministries USA, says that the World Economic Forum, founded and led by Klaus Schwab, is on a mission to destroy Western values—biblical values—and to drive the Ten Commandments out of our culture. "They are doing everything they possibly can to break the Ten Commandments," Kirk says. "It's broader than that, but I think that's a...

A North Texas teenager disappeared after going to the bathroom at a Dallas Mavericks game. A week later, her parents found her on nude advertisements for sex trafficking online in Oklahoma City. The harrowing incident is the basis for a lawsuit by the family against numerous organizations they said could have stopped the crime but didn't. The 15-year-old went to the game with her father on April 8 at the American Airlines Center. She went missing after leaving to go the bathroom right before halftime, and surveillance video captured her leaving with a man. The parents of the teenager said...
