    Muslim Woman FAFO when she tells Cops She’s Above Americans White Laws! **WARNING GRAPHIC VIDEO** More show notes: the dog did not charge the officer. The dog was just barking. The dog got out by mistake so the officer pulled out his gun. This all started because a 13 year old Muslim kid said the Rottie was chasing him yet he got home safely without being attacked or bitten. The officer who shot the dog was a man who lived next door.

    The world needs men. Sadly, however, many men are shirking their God-given responsibilities these days to live like little fancy boys. To guard against this spreading loss of masculinity, The Babylon Bee has compiled the following list of guaranteed ways to lose your "man card." Linger too long on the soccer game while flipping through the channels: If your eyes cause you to sin by watching a gay sport, pluck them out. Not really know what a "joist" is: If you don't know, maybe ask your wife, since she probably wears the pants in your household. Go to therapy:...

    Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that the state will take action to crack down on “illegal aliens who may be operating large trucks using out-of-state driver’s licenses.” On Monday, August 25, 2025, Uthmeier announced a series of actions targeting the commercial trucking industry and commercial driver’s licensing (CDL) standards amid ongoing public scrutiny of an August 12 triple fatality crash on the Florida Turnpike allegedly caused by an illegal U-turn taken by Harjinder Singh.

  • Pop, Soda Or Coke? The Fizzy History Behind America’s Favorite Linguistic Debate

    Study Finds ^ | August 24, 2025 | Valerie M. Fridland, University of Nevada, Reno
    In A Nutshell Regional divide: Northerners and Californians say “soda,” Midwesterners say “pop,” and Southerners use “coke” generically for any soft drink. Origins of soda: Began in the early 1800s as “soda water,” a health tonic sold at drugstore soda fountains and spas. Why “pop”? Likely from the sound of corks popping on bottled fizzy drinks; popularized in the Midwest by bottling companies like Faygo. Why “coke”? Coca-Cola’s dominance in the South made “coke” shorthand for any soft drink, much like Kleenex or Band-Aid became generic terms. Soft vs. hard drinks: “Soft drink” originally meant nonalcoholic, as opposed to “hard”...

    This week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced a dramatic reduction in expenditures for the agency she's head of. She characterized the cuts as "the start of a new era focused on serving our country, fulfilling our core national security mission with excellence, always grounded in the US Constitution, and ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people." Senior ODNI officials who assisted in the months-long mission review stressed that the review was "incredibly thoughtful and thorough. It specifically took into account the feedback from staff who Director Gabbard encouraged to come to her with ideas on...

    Donald Trump has staked much of his political brand on being the consummate dealmaker. He is not a theorist, nor a philosopher-king, nor a bureaucrat buried in details. His appeal rests in his posture as the man who cuts through nonsense, breaks impasses, and brings adversaries to the table. In the past, Trump’s instincts on foreign affairs have proven unconventional but effective: cooling tensions with North Korea, brokering normalization between Israel and Arab states, restraining NATO adventurism, and articulating—against Washington orthodoxy—that endless wars in the Middle East were bleeding America dry. He relishes the image of the peacemaker, a strongman...

    Disntr ^ | August 22, 2025 | staff
    There is a slow, deliberate purge happening in America. Not a war waged with guns, bombs, and tanks, but with erasers, marketing departments, and cultural commissars. It is the grand project of the woke movement, a full frontal assault on white European history, culture, and symbols. And the most effective battles are not fought in the streets but in the quiet removal of images, names, and figures that once stood as touchstones of identity. Wokeness, rooted in the toxic soil of Critical Theory and Marxism is a cancer metastasizing through every organ of society. Public institutions, schools, corporations. Heck, even...

    For centuries, the waterfront resort of Baiae on the Bay of Naples was the stomping ground of Rome's rich and famous. Located around 150 miles south of the capital, many of Rome's wealthiest citizens, including several emperors, built villas there to escape the scorching city heat and take in the area's sulfurous waters. However, most of the site today lies submerged beneath the sea and is preserved as a spectacular underwater archaeological park, as seismic and volcanic activity has caused the coastline to sink as much as 30 feet. Recently, according to a report by Finestre sull'Arte, a team of...

    You and I may not be forced to watch America go down the drain after all — thanks to President Trump. It certainly was a close call. There had already been eight years of B. Hussein O. in the White House, plus a rigged election leading to four years of the Autopen administration. What greater travesty can be conceived? How about the Democrat Powers That Be installing a person at the head of the Democrat ticket — bypassing the nomination process — and then installing that person in the White House—bypassing an actual election—by means of yet another rigged election?...

    The Department of the Interior (DOI) is immediately halting all activity on a massive offshore wind farm project that was established by the Biden Administration, according to a report from the Daily Caller. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM, which falls under the DOI, is halting activity on the “Revolution Wind” project off the coast of Rhode Island and Connecticut effective immediately. President Donald Trump has long criticized wind farm projects, pointing to their notoriously unreliable output, foreign control of key components for wind projects and environmental concerns. In recent weeks and months, the DOI has dealt a number...

    Japan, Inc., on the brink.Many have welcomed Japan’s recent economic recovery after several years of contraction, but the current circumstances are fragile at best. As of August 2025, Japan’s economy, the fifth-largest globally by nominal GDP and purchasing power parity, embodies a weak recovery undermined by overreliance on government intervention: GDP growth is limp—flat in Q1 and only marginal in Q2—barely avoiding recession.The lessons from the past must be heeded if Japan’s economic situation is to be navigated intelligently: state intervention may work in the short term, but will ultimately stifle dynamism and growth in the long term.To understand the...
  • Restored Roman Sun Hat Goes on Display

    The Bolton News reports that an exceedingly rare, once decrepit ancient Roman sun hat has recently been brought back to life thanks to the work of skilled conservators and is set to go on public display for the first time at England's Bolton Museum. The woolen cap is only one of three similar Roman headpieces known to still survive. It dates to around a.d. 200 and was likely made for a member of the Roman military who was stationed in Egypt following Rome's conquest of the territory in the first century b.c. Although it resembles other contemporary Roman hats in...

    Another church that once was among the largest in the Southern Baptist Convention is selling it 19-acre property and downsizing. The property of Dauphin Way Baptist Church in Mobile, Ala., is now listed for sale for $28.5 million. Current pastor Lee Merck confirmed to numerous media outlets the sale is part of a strategic plan to rethink the congregation that once was the largest Baptist church in the state of Alabama. Notable former pastors include Jerry Vines, who went on to become co-pastor at First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Fla., and president of the SBC; Darrell Robison, a well-known evangelist...

Watch: VIDEO AT LINK............. This came during an interview on the It's Giving podcast. And sure, Snoop hasn't been the best example of a family man with some of his work, but this is a children's movie he's talking about here, not adult entertainment. Remember, this was the woke Toy Story spinoff with the gay kiss that was shoved into a movie by Disney in 2022. And now...

    In roughly three years, Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has established herself as one of the most recognized members of the Supreme Court — and not in a good way. Despite being the most junior justice on the high court, Jackson has regularly gone out of her way to thumb her nose at her colleagues for upholding America’s constitutional framework. Whether it be through public comments or poorly written opinions, the Biden appointee has shown little respect for the longstanding traditions and collegiality that have defined SCOTUS for generations.

    President Trump on Monday bashed Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) as “incompetent” amid threats from Trump to send National Guard troops into the Illinois city. “The incompetent Mayor of Chicago just stated that, in DC, where crime has been brought down to almost nothing, there have been no murders in 9 days, something which hasn’t happened in years, and people are safe again, only nine people have been arrested,” Trump said on Truth Social. “That is wrong, hundreds of criminals have been held, captured, and arrested, and their guns have been taken away. DC IS SAFE AND BOOMING!!!” As of...

    Key Facts: Former presidents are very wealthy and continue to earn millions from books, speeches, and media deals, yet still receive over $5 million a year in taxpayer-funded pensions and perks for offices, staff, and supplies. Budget data for FY 2026 show that Biden’s office and expense perks will exceed those of the other former presidents. He also is eligible for a generous congressional pension for his time in the Senate. Senator Joni Ernst’s Presidential Allowance Modernization Act would cap pensions, limit expense allowances, and cut perks for wealthy ex-presidents to save taxpayers millions. Introduction Former President Joe Biden recently...
