This is one of the most widespread aurora events in years, get all the...

Judging by current data, you'd think there's literally a job out there for anyone who wants one. Looking deeper under the hood, though, tells a different story.The level of job openings as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for years has shown there are at least as many available positions as there are unemployed workers.But comparing the openings with actual hirings shows that not all those jobs are being filled.Not even close, in fact: Since the beginning of 2024, job openings have outnumbered job hirings by more than 2.2 million a month, according to BLS data. That points to...

WOODSTOCK, ME — Political commentator Tucker Carlson sparked controversy this week when he welcomed Bigfoot onto his show to discuss how mind-controlling chemtrails are sprayed over the flat earth by the Jews. Viewers were shocked to learn that not only was Bigfoot real, but that the popular cryptid had been following conspiracy news for decades. Carlson nodded along with his guest, genuinely interested in what it had to say about Ben Shapiro. Bigfoot, who spoke with a series of unintelligible growls and whistles, was adamant that the Jews were behind the chemtrails and that it was all part of...

The White House defended President Trump’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein, accusing Democrats of “selectively” releasing emails from the deceased sex offender that reference the president. The comment comes after House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Democrats released three email exchanges from Epstein as he corresponded with his associate Ghislaine Maxwell as well as columnist and author Michael Wolff. In the emails, Epstein says Trump “spent hours” at his house while another says the president “knew about the girls.” In a 2011 email to Maxwell, who was later convicted on charges of trafficking young girls to Epstein, the disgraced financier wrote:...

The gnawing and weeping and gnashing of teeth in Washington, DC, over the recent US troop drawdown in NATO’s eastern flank has been quite an ordeal to witness from afar. One would think that President Donald Trump had finally fulfilled the wishes of some of his biggest supporters and abandoned NATO. But that isn’t quite what happened. Indeed, the decision not to replace one of its rotational brigades, the United States Army’s Second Infantry Brigade Combat Team from the 101st Airborne Division that had been operating out of Mihail Kogǎlniceanu Air Base in Romania is not at all that controversial....

The Sun has just fired off its most powerful solar flare of 2025, causing radio blackouts across half the globe. As the barrage of charged particles makes its way toward Earth, the aurorae borealis – or Northern Lights – could become visible at unusually low latitudes tonight. Solar flares are bursts of electromagnetic radiation that arise from tangles in the Sun’s magnetic field, and travel through space at the speed of light. The strongest of these are categorized as X-flares, three of which have now been recorded in the past few days. The first two were detected on November 9...

Less than a week after the election, Gov. Kathy Hochul appears to be slowly squashing one of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s big campaign promises: Fare-free buses in NYC. Hochul endorsed Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani shortly before he won the historic 2025 NYC mayoral election on Nov. 4. But during the SOMOS organization’s political conference in Puerto Rico over the weekend, Hochul seemed to put a pin into the balloon of Mamdani’s free bus concept, stating that it would jeopardize the funding of New York’s public transit system. “I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system...

Socialist Democratic New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani named his administration’s two top advisers, as he gears up to lead the Big Apple in a decidedly left-wing direction that may cause some residents to bolt. Mamdani announced his current chief of staff, Elle Bisgaard-Church, a fellow Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member, will stay in the role when he becomes mayor. He also said that his incoming first deputy mayor will be Dean Fuleihan, who served in the same role during former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s second term. The mayor-elect introduced Bisgaard-Church, 34, and Fuleihan, 74, at a Monday press...

VIDEOEven retiring Congressman Jerry Nadler proclaimed that Deranged Nepo Baby Jack Kennedy Schlossberg is a useless fool who hasn't done anything with his life and is therefore completely unqualified to run his seat. Shmuck Son Jack took that as a green light to go ahead and run for Nadler's seat in Congress as he has just announced. It was pretty obvious that Nepo Baby Jack was planning on running for that seat because for the past few weeks he struggled (probably with the help of a PR agency) to present himself as normal. However, you don't have to go very...

On March 3rd through March 6th 2016, the Republican presidential primary was at the precipice of a key inflection point (Super Tuesday) when a large group of political leadership, tech titans, bankers and political influence agents assembled at the AEI summit in Sea Island, Georgia. (snip) In 2016 the agenda of the group, though they gently denied it at the time, was to figure out a way to remove the disruption Donald Trump represented from the business model of DC politics. The Sea Island confab discussed how to stop him, or at the very least manage the potential damage he...

New York City (NYC) Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani explained that the relationship he has with President Donald “will be critical to the success” of the city, and added that he plans to call Trump before taking office. During an interview with NBC New York’s Melissa Russo, Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, spoke about how as mayor of NYC he “will be proactive in the work” he does. Mamdani also expressed that it was “important” to be able to be “open to working with anyone,” regardless of the disagreements you have with them. “I will be proactive in the work that I do,...

Ashur Sarnaya likely considered himself fairly lucky. The disabled Assyrian Christian and his family managed to escape ISIS terror and persecution in his native Iraq and found refuge in France. However, due to open-borders policies and unchecked mass migration into Western nations, Islamist extremists – apparently in large numbers to boot – attached themselves to the migration wave. They took advantage of naïve European immigration policies either unwilling or unable to separate the grain from the chaff. As a result, a suspected Islamist migrant murdered Sarnaya in broad daylight. His murder is a scathing indictment of the irresponsible pro-mass-migration policies...

Paul Sperry shared some observations on the documents that Comey provided to the courts in his perjury case. One observation is shocking. According to Sperry, when presenting evidence in a motion to the court as part of his perjury defense, James Comey’s legal team altered two words in a transcript of his 2020 Senate testimony to make it seem as if Sen. Ted Cruz asked Comey a key question he didn’t actually ask him during the hearing. YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP. NEW: In presenting evidence in a motion to the court as part of its perjury defense, James...
