Europe’s decline warns America what happens when a civilization loses the confidence to defend its culture, institutions, and national purpose. Britain is America's mother country. Regardless of what one may think of the once-Great Britain today, much of America's essence sprang from that island's political philosophy, cultural inheritance, legal tradition, and national character. Our language, common law, conception of liberty, parliamentary instincts, and stubborn individualism all trace back directly to Britain. Britain may have declined, but the DNA of its greatness lives on in us. Its decline is therefore not merely a foreign story. It is a cautionary tale written...

Okay, she probably already has a lawyer, but the fact remains: she’ll need a good one, at least until she’s out of the woods. The Trump DOJ is moving to indict Cassidy Hutchinson for providing false testimony before Congress. She was the January 6 select committee’s star witness, a dog-and-pony show that wasted taxpayer dollars. Hutchinson decided to spill the beans about what happened during that little riot, including a patently untrue, laughable anecdote about Trump trying to commandeer the Beast to head to the Capitol. That’s not even grounded in reality. A federal grand jury has heard evidence for...

October 7, 2023 was the deadliest day for Jewish people since the Holocaust. Nearly three years later, survivors are still fighting to be believed. Nova Music Festival survivor Noa Beer escaped a terrorist ambush, pulled wounded strangers into her car, and received a chilling voice note during the attack itself. Now she joins Dr. Phil to respond directly to a mainstream media report that reignited a firestorm over media accountability, antisemitism, and whose trauma gets believed.

A left-wing politician who shares his name with fascist dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini has become the mayor of a Peruvian town – just one year after he resigned from a right-wing populist party. Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores, 45, prevailed with 34% of the vote in Sunday’s election in Queropalca, running on a center-left ticket for Peru’s Ahora Nacion (Now Nation) party. It’s unclear when the politician joined the Ahora Nacion party, but he was previously a member of the right-wing Popular Force party before resigning in 2025, according to his candidate declaration form. Popular Force is a populist...

Everybody knows what the last weeks of a political campaign are like: phones ringing constantly, chaotic activity, exhausting twenty-hour days, racing from one rally or speech to the next. An all-out, pedal-to-the-metal effort by all hands. So why, with the first plausible chance at snagging a Texas Senate seat for the Democrats in a generation at risk, has James Talarico ceased campaigning at all? It’s going on two weeks since Talarico dropped out of sight. His last public appearance was 13 days ago during fundraising trips to LA and New York City. The last confirmed sighting was on September 26...

Drinking game--Tish says "Trump" or "This Administration" in her lame debate with Saritha for AG of NYS.

The US will livestream the Army's upcoming firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, a gunman who killed 13 people at the Fort Hood military base in 2009, the Pentagon said, in what would be an unprecedented broadcast of a US execution.

In this video, Stephen Miller discusses the efforts of the Trump Administration’s fraud task force, led by Vice President Vance, to identify and eliminate systemic fraud across various government programs (0:00-0:45). Key takeaways include: Systemic Immigration Fraud: Miller highlights the uncovering of abuses within the H-1B and PERM visa programs, asserting that these systems are being used to replace American workers with lower-paid foreign labor, undermining domestic wages and opportunities (0:46-2:16). Emphasis on American Talent: He advocates for the protection of homegrown American workers and the importance of fostering opportunities for young people and experienced professionals alike (2:17-3:37). Broader Immigration...

Daily Readings from the USCCBWhen Jesus had driven out a demon, some of the crowd said: “By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons.” Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven. But he knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house. And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?” Luke 11:15–18The name Beelzebul is first found in 2 Kings 1, where it refers to a false god worshiped by the Philistines in Ekron....

"How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Thy word. . . . Thy word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against Thee" (Ps. 119:9, 11). Scripture is the source of spiritual victory. Many Christians struggle with spiritual defeat or recurring sins because they haven't learned to apply biblical principles to specific situations. Perhaps they don't know God's will because they haven't matured in the Word. Or maybe they know what He expects of them but disregard His counsel. In either case, the result is the same. Jesus Himself...

Student-led protests over France’s struggling education system descended into chaos in Paris as fires broke out and chemical irritants were deployed. Student groups claimed 100,000 people protested in the capital, while the Interior Ministry put the nationwide turnout at around 266,000.

Beni Rae Harmony, who once posed in a f--- Joe Biden T-shirt, caught the president’s eye during trip on Air Force One As Air Force One left Ireland on Sept 13, Donald Trump entered the press cabin. He was in a good mood and holding a stack of papers. At the top of the first page were the words: “Beni Rae Harmony”, followed by a list of bullet points. The glamorous young reporter of that name was on the plane and, over the course of the trip to Doonbeg, had become something of a star. Just 24 years old,...

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed described a pregnant mother as “simply a carrying vehicle for a fetus that has not ever breathed air.” The comment came when a pro-life student asked him, at a Western Michigan University town hall, why she should vote for him. The exchange came at a “Students vs. Billionaires” event on the Kalamazoo campus. El-Sayed did not use the word “woman.” He called the pregnant mom “an adult, or sometimes even a juvenile human.” “I respect your position insofar as it’s founded in the idea that you want to protect and empower life,” El-Sayed told...

I write these words from Poland, where 90 percent of Poland’s Jews — 3 million out of 3.3 million — were slaughtered during World War II. That is what genocide looks like. In stark contrast, roughly 70,000 of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents were killed during Israel’s war with Hamas, amounting to approximately 3 percent of the population. And that figure includes enemy combatants. Yet the same word, genocide, used for the systematic, intentional murder of 90 percent of Poland’s Jews — and two-thirds of Europe’s Jews as a whole — is being used to describe Israel’s war with Hamas. How...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reportedly shot someone in New York. The person shot is alive and in the hospital. The Department of Homeland Security said that ICE officers were targeting a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic who was previously arrested for assault and was associated with the Trinitarios gang. That person, who has not yet been identified, was arrested by the New York Police Department in December 2023 but was released a few days later, DHS said. On October 8, at approximately 4:00 PM ET, ICE officers were conducting a targeted enforcement operation in the Bronx, New...
