The Baltic Defense Line established by Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania has become the largest fortification effort in Europe since World War II. The multi-layered defensive installation includes anti-tank obstacles, surveillance systems, trenches, and bunkers. The “East Shield” is intended to protect these nations, and therefore Europe, from Russian invasion, which they believe is inevitable. Estonia announced that it has begun construction of a 40-kilometer trench along its border with Russia. Other Baltic States, such as Lithuania and Latvia, have constructed “dragon’s teeth” or anti-tank barriers that act as large pyramid-shaped concrete obstacles for armored vehicles. The three Baltic states will...

MULTIPLE VIDEOS AT LINK................... FBI Director Kash Patel, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, and Utah District Attorney Jeffrey Grey have all provided evidence that the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk was deeply motivated by leftwing ideology. Suspect Tyler Robinson's own mother said he had become "more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented" and was dating "a biological male who was transitioning genders." His father said Tyler "accused Kirk of spreading hate." In a confession to his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, Tyler confessed to the murder and when prompted for his motive, said "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be...

Another evil leftist has learned that the reality of consequence culture after mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk this week. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier on Tuesday, a viral video emerged online showing a student at Texas State University taunting others at a Kirk memorial event hosted by the local TPUSA chapter. In the footage, the young man mimicked the shooting by tapping his neck and writhing while his ‘friends’ film. “Charlie Kirk got hit in the neck, b**ch!” he said. “Look, I’m Charlie Kirk! He then walked up to a statue and mocked Kirk getting assassinated once again,...

You’ve probably heard of spooky black cats, chaotic orange cats, and distinguished-looking tuxedo cats. If you’re really into cats, you might have even lesser-known color variants like seal point and ticked tabby. But there’s officially a new cat color in town— salmiak, or ‘salty liquorice.’ You can see one here. The pretty black, white, and grey shade—named for a popular snack food in Finland, where this coat color has been making itself known—is thanks to a fur strand that starts off black near the root, but grows whiter and whiter out towards the tip. The coat was first spotted in...

The Conservative Party of New York State issued a sharp rebuke Monday of Governor Kathy Hochul’s endorsement of Democratic Party nominee Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 New York City mayoral race, calling the move “political expediency over the health of her state.” “Governor Kathy Hochul chose Leftism over New Yorkers,” said Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar in a September 15 release on social media. “She calculated that endorsing socialist Zohran Mamdani was better for her career than taking on the forever-seething radical left to protect the people and businesses of New York City. That’s what just happened. The Governor of...

Choosing a college major is a life-altering decision, made millions of times a year by 18-year-olds with little exposure to higher education or labor markets. Colleges frame programs in terms of possibilities, not probabilities. They pitch degrees like products, emphasizing prestige and potential while downplaying the risks of dropping out or ending up underemployed. These institutions influence such decisions millions of times a year, but students make them only once. And while schools hold internal data on outcomes and labor markets, they rarely share what matters most. To the institution, the student is a sales prospect, not a learner they’re...

The Secret Service Agent who said Charlie Kirk deserved to be assassinated will be fired soon. Secret Service Agent Anthony Pough said Charlie Kirk, a Christian husband and father to two young children, deserved to be murdered in cold blood. “If you are Mourning this guy… delete me. He spewed hate and racism on his show,” Anthony Pough wrote. “A separate source in the Secret Service community tells me that Pough will indeed be fired because he remains in the probationary period before an agent attains “career status.” Pough became an agent in 2022. Probation lasts 3 years and 120...

ABC News reporter Matt Gutman is facing backlash for describing a text exchange between suspected Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson and his partner as "very touching". Prosecutors on Tuesday revealed text messages between accused gunman Tyler Robinson and his roommate, in which Robinson admitted to killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, described hiding his rifle and detailed his planning in the days before the shooting. Utah Governor Spencer Cox had previously said Robinson lived with a romantic partner who is transgender. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed on The Megyn Kelly Show on Monday that the name of Robinson's partner is...

Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox Montel Williams is now trying to steer the conversation away from the truth...refusing to call Charlie Kirk’s assassin what he was: an unhinged leftist with hate in his heart. Instead, Montel is spinning it as a love story...a young man defending someone he cared about. Wow. This is absolutely twisted. Nothing says “love” like murdering someone in cold blood. “There are people trying to pigeonhole this as a leftist thing and a right thing.” “And what we’re really talking about, hear me, because I’m going to throw you when I say this… we’re talking about a...

Run time 19 m 26 s Minnesota Senator Fought the Release of This Bodycam.

The sad news of the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk shed light on the elephant in the world’s living room. It exposed society’s underlying hatred of anything good, especially true Christians. Let’s take a realistic look at the reason behind the hate and what the Christian response should be. Although the hatred of believers is nothing new, the crescendo of vitriol and violence is. In the coming days, much will be said about the need for civil discourse, the open exchange of ideas, and free speech, which are good things, of course. But despite our best efforts to appeal to...

Russian forces are preparing two more large-scale offensives after three failed campaigns this year, President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed on Monday (September 16). Speaking during an interview with Sky News, the Ukrainian leader said: "The mood in Europe and the US is indeed changing a little. Overall, I am glad, truly glad, that all of Russia's advances, all of their offensive missions – there have been three – and they are planning two more heavy offensive campaigns. Their last three missions have failed. In my view, this is a very important signal". The remarks follow earlier reports that Russian President Vladimir...

As SCOTUSblog readers are likely aware, tariffs are taxes charged on goods bought from other countries. In February, President Donald Trump imposed dozens of new tariffs. Now the Supreme Court will decide whether he had the legal authority to do so. The stakes in the litigation are enormous. Tariffs are a crucial part of Trump’s agenda, with huge consequences in the United States and throughout the world. Indeed, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit struck down most of the tariffs, Trump said that their invalidation “would be a total disaster for the Country” and “would literally...

“They don’t kill you because you’re a Nazi; they call you a Nazi so they can kill you.”— Podcaster Blaire White. Sadly, the Party of Love has struck again. A prominent conservative voice was publicly silenced in Utah last Wednesday — not by persuasion or reasoned argument — but by an assassin’s bullet. “[D]eeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” Kirk’s murderer pulled the trigger convinced he was striking a blow against fascism. But he committed murder and destroyed his own life in the process for a damnable lie. Because settling arguments with bullets instead of reason is, without question, fascism in...

The Massachusetts Teachers Association is calling on school districts not to punish educators who have reacted positively to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. MTA President Max Page and Vice President Deb McCarthy are urging districts and public colleges and universities to be “partners with unions in the fight to defend educators from bullying and harassment and to protect their rights."

She’s de-Lu-Lu. A deranged Luigi Mangione supporter claimed she is married to an AI version of the alleged CEO killer while celebrating outside of Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday, insisting, “it’s, like, natural.” The similarly thick-browed Mangione fan sported an “I Heart Italian Boys” shirt emblazoned with the 27-year-old’s face and put flowers in her hair — standing out even among the hundreds of other ghouls rallying for the alleged Ivy League killer. “Honestly, I’m married to Luigi’s AI. I’m not kidding,” the unidentified woman told reporters as a crowd of depraved goons hooted and hollered outside the courthouse, many...

Newly released government reports have revealed five incidents near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio that have never been disclosed since the swarms of UFOs were seen along the East Coast in late 2024. Along with several sightings of unidentified drones around the secretive Air Force base in December 2024, federal officials now say a 'black cube'-shaped craft was spotted by a nearby airplane less than 80 miles from Wright-Patterson.

The left has been vocal in their description of Charlie Kirk as racist, evil, fascist, misogynistic, and advocating death to homosexuals. Please, don’t take my review for it, treat yourself to left wing nut blogs and articles as well as statements. It has occurred that all of these statements have NO specific examples from Charlie Kirk record (at least that I have able to discover) to support opinions stated claims. The overwhelming majority of leftists base the claims on Charlie Kirk open admission that he was a Christian, and even and ‘Evangelical’ Christian. What I am trying to say, based...
