EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla.– A crocodile decided to show an alligator who is boss in the Florida Everglades on Monday as people watched in suspense. Video showed a crocodile walking up to an opening of some water in Everglades National Park. As the camera angle changed, it showed the crocodile wasn't just aiming to take a dip, but was actually boisterously approaching an alligator hanging out in the water. The two reptiles began hissing at each other as the crocodile entered the water and got closer to the gator. As the crocodile entered the alligator's personal space, the gator thrashed...

John Stuart Mill said the peculiar evil of silencing expression is that it robs the human race. The EU’s decided that’s not a bug—it’s a feature. They’ve taken the marketplace of ideas and turned it into a monopoly where the only supplier is… the EU. America’s Founders knew something these Brussels bureaucrats apparently skipped in history class: the answer to speech you don’t like is more speech, not less. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and the First Amendment wasn’t written to protect popular opinions—because those don’t need protection. I present twenty monuments to the idea that Europeans fought two world...

Finland’s former prime minister complained that she seems to be more known for infamous videos of her dancing than for her leadership. Sanna Marin became Finland’s youngest prime minister at just 34-years-old and quickly became a symbol of a new liberal movement in Europe. But two years into her term, videos of her gyrating in a lacy black tank top circled the internet and a separate video later emerged of her grinding in a club with a man that wasn’t her husband. Today, the ex-politician — who recently released a memoir and has 1 million Instagram followers — laments the...

A video posted on X shows Somali-American police officers in Minnesota addressing community members in Somali—not English— during what appears to be an outreach event. The clip was shared by the user CheckMate (@Checkmatedsl) on November 22, 2025, and has drawn more than one million views. In the recording, the officers speak exclusively in Somali. According to translated captions circulated with the post, one officer says, “We came to this country as refugees. Now that we’re hired, we work for our own people [Somalians].” Another officer adds, “Whether in the homeland or here, Somalian officers serve you. We know your...

Across party lines, big majorities say the administration needs to explain what the U.S. intends regarding any action, and that it has not done so clearly yet.

Labour’s tax rises have led to an exodus of wealthy Britons, the business secretary has admitted. Peter Kyle said he accepted that “some of the decisions” the party had made since taking office had caused “some people [to] feel the need to leave”. Asked if the wealthy were opting to leave because of tax decisions made by the government, he said: “Yes, I do.” He added: “I’m not going to duck the fact that we have put up taxes and we’ve closed some of the loopholes for non-doms.” ...

A trans-identifying man with an extensive arrest history was charged arson after setting fire to his own apartment during a standoff with police following a robbery, according to news reports. This gem, who was charged with setting fire to his mother’s apartment in 2022, while the woman was inside, also once asked on a Facebook post, “May I start burning Churches yet?” independent journalist Andy Ngo reported. Nathan Herbert Click — who now goes by the name Cassidy Mal Lyss (get it, “malice?”) — was arrested on the morning of Nov. 10 in Stillwater, Oklahoma, after a report of robbery,...

Ron Hira, Indian-origin professor at Howard University and a prominent critic of the H-1B visa program, has once again raised questions regarding the operation of this program in the US. In a post on X, Hira claimed that a considerable number of H-1B visa holders are of average quality and could be sourced domestically. Given that Indians constitute the largest proportion of H-1B visa holders, Hira's critique was sure to attract attention. As the son of Indian immigrants who came to the US in the 1950s, well before the establishment of the H-1B system, his perspective sparked further discussion. ‘H-1B...

Democrats now celebrate the very nullificationist tactics they once decried, embracing a neo-Confederate defiance of federal authority to undermine a president they despise. Is Jeff Davis the Model?Who is the real, or fictional, inspiration for the new insurrectionary wing of the Democrat Party? The fictitious Hollywood insurrectionist, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “James Mattoon Scott” (Burt Lancaster), who in the 1964 film Seven Days in May attempted to overthrow the presidency? Or perhaps Jefferson Davis? He ultimately ordered the attack by South Carolina state forces against the federal garrison at Fort Sumter, which ignited the Civil War. Or...

President Donald Trump made a passionate post claiming that the Republican Party is "so UNITED" on Sunday night, amid internal divisions in the party over leadership, tariffs, and legislative priorities. In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that the GOP has "never been so UNITED AS IT iS RIGHT NOW!" "Other than Rand Paul, Rand Paul Jr.(Massie!), Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, and a couple of other ‘lowlifes,’ and other than the fact that many want the Election threatening Filibuster TERMINATED (the Dems will do it in the first minute of their first chance!), and some don’t, there is great spirit and...

A man with a 30-year criminal record, reportedly at least 72 arrests, and around 15 convictions, lit a 26-year-old woman on fire on a train in Chicago Monday night. She is fighting for her life in critical condition. Mayor Brandon Johnson on Thursday called it an “isolated incident.” The “isolated incident” highlights everything that is wrong with progressive politics and Democrat leadership in all too many of our cities: let the criminals run free, forget about the victims, and vilify the police. But it only got worse for the Windy City Friday night, as the rampant violence and death the...

A Wyoming woman who suffered a massive heart attack while in bed said she would not have survived if it weren't for her toy poodle coming to her rescue. Susan Denker from Cheyenne was found unconscious at her home in July by a friend who could tell something was wrong when her seven-pound poodle began acting strange, according to the Cowboy State Daily. Karen, a friend of Susanne's, rang the doorbell several times and was about to leave when she saw the poodle, Lily, barking and running to the bedroom. The dog was trying to tell her something, and Karen...

America’s leftists have gone from a reverence for Europe’s socialist institutions to a subtle but complete nullification of the United States Constitution and American law. Leftists always adored Europe’s soft socialism. They wanted socialized medicine, practically free pharmaceutical drugs, six weeks of paid vacation a year, one year of parental leave for both parents (not that leftists actually want people to have children), subsidized housing, etc. Pointing out that all of this came about because of American taxpayers who funded building Europe back up after WWII, who absorbed all of Europe’s defense costs, and who pay the costs of all...

The Sabbath was hallowed at the creation. As ordained for man, it had its origin when “the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.” Job 38:7. Peace brooded over the world; for earth was in harmony with heaven. “God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good;” and He rested in the joy of His completed work. Genesis 1:31 All things were created by the Son of God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.... All things were made by Him; and without Him was...

The EU is working at full speed to complete its online surveillance-and-informant network. By the end of the year, all EU member states are required to present so-called “Trusted Flaggers” -- institutions tasked with identifying “problematic” content -- to Brussels for accreditation. Politicians from Germany’s Christian Democratic Union appear especially eager. Hendrik Wüst, CDU politician and Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia, is a child of the current zeitgeist. As the leader of Germany’s most populous state, he views it as his mission not merely to preach the dominant ideology of the CO2-neutral society, but to enforce it rigorously. Together with...
