SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. -- The Shelby County Sheriff's Office charged a man with the murder of a woman and her 4-month-old baby, found stabbed in a house that was then set on fire. The Shelby County Sheriff's Office said 25-year-old Enoch Zarceno, who is the baby's father, has been arrested and charged with numerous felonies, including two counts of first-degree murder and aggravated arson. Family members said they believe he was angry about the possibility of having to pay child support. Just two weeks ago, Cook posted to a private Facebook group for single moms, asking for advice. She said...

The television images of homeless adults, tent cities, discarded drug paraphernalia, and filthy conditions in America’s urban landscapes are shocking. The homeless people in these scenes didn’t grow up saying, “I can’t wait to become an addict and live on the street.” Clearly, several things went wrong over the course of their lives. For many living on the streets, the path to homelessness started early, with childhood trauma and adverse experiences. For example, in Santa Clara County, just south of San Francisco, 78 percent of homeless adults grew up in a household with a person with drug or alcohol dependence;...

The clownish antics of Tex Kennedy, that drunk driving furry and El Paso punchline, are much less funny now that he is promising to convert millions of Americans into felons and send armed government agents to their homes to steal their constitutionally-guaranteed property. Maybe he doesn’t know – whether due to pharmaceuticals or simply because he’s stupid – that two Democratic administrations ago, right up the road, the feds sent a bunch of armed men to take the forbidden guns of some people who were minding their own business and it turned out poorly. That debacle resulted in four dead...

Colin Kaepernick started a national uproar after kneeling during the National Anthem at NFL games as a commentary against alleged police abuse of African-Americans. Kaepernick took it a step further when he wore ‘cops as pigs’ socks at his football practice. Kaepernick was cheered and celebrated on the left for his slam on the country and police officers. In September 2018 Nike announced they were hiring Colin Kaepernick for their 30th Anniversary advertising campaign. On Independence Day this year Kaepernick bashed America as the worst nation on earth. Liberals cheered the ass-clown. Kaepernick was awarded Man of the Year by...

After the New York Times published their latest smear of Brett Kavanaugh, the left began foaming at the mouth, claiming that the article proved that Brett Kavanaugh lied during his confirmation hearing, that he is a proven rapist, etc., etc. Those of us who actually read the article saw it for what it was: another unsubstantiated smear. Well, it looks like even the New York Times is admitting their article was fake news.The article, "Brett Kavanaugh Fit In With the Privileged Kids. She Did Not" was adapted from The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation, the forthcoming book from...

CHICAGO -- Nine people were killed and 18 others wounded in citywide gun violence over the weekend. The latest fatal shooting happened Monday in Dunning on the Northwest Side.

All those empty seats for the Saints/Rams game is surprising. That's no scrub game.

A canal boat user accidentally drained 200-year-old waterway - causing £3m worth of damage - after leaving locks open. Water ended up gushing down the Shropshire Union Canal, washing away the banks and leaving a huge gaping hole in the waterway. Trees along the canal were torn from their roots, hundreds of fish died The affected stretch had to be closed, meaning boats could not travel along that bit of the canal. About 15 boats were stranded and more than 10,000 fish were rescued, but many more died when they were washed on to dry land.

"Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15 and your AK-47," said Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke, a former El Paso congressman, during last week's Democratic presidential debate. To some, his remarks sounded like a spontaneous outpouring of emotion. But within minutes of the debate ending, his campaign was marketing pre-printed tee-shirts bearing his carefully rehearsed sound bite. The framers of America's Constitution enshrined the right to keep and bear arms as the Second Amendment in its Bill of Rights because guns were the most tangible guarantee of power in the hands of the people. This is precisely why progressive Democrats,...

Yes, surely these dramatic...

Why Trump Will Win: 'The Evidence of Things Unseen' COMMENTARY .By Frank MieleSeptember 16, 2019 Why Trump Will Win: 'The Evidence of Things Unseen'AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster The New Testament tells us that “faith is … the evidence of things unseen.” If that is true in politics, then the faith of Trump supporters that he will be reelected is based on what was unseen and unheard on the Democrat debate stage in Houston on Thursday — namely, the thriving economy and the many other accomplishments of this administration. Admittedly, being a Trump supporter sometimes tests your faith. When the polls consistently...

New York City schools will excuse absences for students who wish to participate in “climate strikes” taking place at various locales on September 20. Those Interested will need parental permission, and “younger” students must be accompanied by a parent, according to a school district tweet. “We applaud our students when they raise their voices in a safe and respectful manner on issues that matter to them,” another district tweet read. NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio joined the Twitter fun in praising students for their activism, and invoked the ever-shrinking amount of time humans have to prevent Earth’s destruction: “We have...

FNC Video In coverage of the Andrew McCabe investigation, there seems to be a lot of adding two plus two and coming up with five. The New York Times and Washington Post have reported that a grand jury met on Thursday in connection with a probe involving McCabe, the FBI’s former deputy director. As I write this column on Friday evening, no indictment has been returned against McCabe. From this, and what seems to be some hopeful speculation about “hints of the case’s weakness” that could possibly have caused grand jurors to “balk,” the Times and the Post suggest that...

The New Yorker dropped a story in September 2018 of a second woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of lewd behavior some 30 years ago. Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer released the report in the New Yorker from a second woman accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct — and this time it included a dildo.
