Kennedy told police that on March 3, she went for a swim in a canal near her boyfriend's house. She told them that while she was swimming, she came across a doorway near a shallow part of the canal. Kennedy said she entered the doorway and noticed a tunnel. She claimed she became curious to where the tunnel led and continued to follow it. She told police the tunnel led to another tunnel and so on until she realized she was lost.

Idaho GOP Sen. Mike Crapo is stepping back from his initial show of support for the Democrats’ farmworker amnesty bill, which threatens America’s rural communities by giving employers a low-wage, no-rights foreign labor force for a wide variety of agriculture jobs. “Even though Senator Crapo has said he’ll work on a Senate version of the bill, we should add he won’t support the existing House-passed version,” Lindsay Northern, Crapo’s communications director, told Breitbart News. She continued: "Senator Crapo supports helping Idaho farm producers with problems they have under the existing system, such as concerns over liability and the fact dairy...

The “One-stop Shop for Kosher Groceries” A few days ago a Muslim Syrian immigrant to the United States walked into a Jewish Kosher grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, and shot up the place. Ten people are dead. The shooter is in custody.The individual arrested, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, is a Muslim and all ten victims were white. Alissa apparently has expressed pro-ISIS sympathies in the past. He has for many months complained about his belief that Muslim immigrants to the United States are subjected to discrimination. He is a staunch opponent of Donald Trump.

How Democrats cheat on elections from an insider. In the 80s I was in the right place in the right time and got hired by a Democrat politician. I went from an unpaid intern to running the office as well as being in charge of two district offices. So my boss was asked to carry a bill for our counties election office. The bill was simple....take dead people off of the voting rolls. Which meant less postage, less upkeep, cleaner voteror rolls and cheaper elections. Easy right. First we got a very nice letter asking us to drop the bill...

Culture plays a significant role when it comes to associating symbolic or hidden meanings with different colors. China is a country rich with heritage, and uses colors symbolically within every ceremony, festival, and ritual. Compared to Western culture, China has a different and more powerful scale of color symbolism. The Five Elements Theory (Metal, Fire, Water, Wood, and Air) play a very important role in influencing many of the Chinese customs and beliefs. The color theory is based on these five elements, and five of the most popular colors in China also correspond to these five elements. Black = water?...

Source: Townhall Media/Julio RosasWhen I heard Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas say last Sunday on "Meet the Press" that the southern border "is closed," it immediately brought to mind claims by Iraq's former information minister -- dubbed "Baghdad Bob" and "Comical Ali" (aka Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf) -- about Saddam Hussein's superior military forces. During the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, al-Sahaf said with a straight face that U.S. forces were "not even (within) 100 miles (of Baghdad)," as TV images showed the truth. It also reminded me of statements by some reporters that last summer's riots were "mostly peaceful." Secretary...

While recent seven-day averages concerning COVID-19-related hospitalizations across the country have remained stable, health officials in Michigan have noted an “alarming” rise among unvaccinated individuals. In the first three weeks of March, officials tallied a 633 percent increase in hospitalizations among adults ages 30-39 and an increase of 800 percent among those ages 40-49.

Virginia took a historic step on Wednesday by becoming the first state in the South to eliminate the death penalty. Gov. Ralph Northam signed the legislation a month after the Virginia General Assembly voted to strike down capital punishment in the state. Virginia became the 23rd state in the country to get rid of the death penalty. Additionally, there are three states - Oregon, California, and Pennsylvania - where a governor-issued moratorium on executions is in effect.

On Day 57, a timid-looking Secretary of State Antony Blinken “confronted” the CCP—flanked by a purple-haired staffer. China Bullies Biden’s Buddies. The U.S. and China held their first face-to-face meeting of the Biden presidency in Alaska on Thursday. Video of a tense exchange between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and CCP foreign affairs chief Yang Jiechi went viral online. Blinken, flanked by a woman with purple hair, raised concerns about China’s aggression toward the U.S., and Yang responded by pointing out human rights “challenges” in the United States, “such as Black Lives Matter.” Blinken responded, “I have to tell...

You repeatedly promised that people making less than $400,000 a year would not pay a penny more in taxes under your presidency. However, your spokesman has acknowledged that isn’t true. Would you like to officially correct the record and expand upon that? At a CNN town hall, you falsely claimed there was no Covid vaccine before you came into office, even though you, yourself, were vaccinated under the Trump administration. What did you mean? Would you like to officially correct the record? In your recent national address, you said that “we need everyone to get vaccinated.” However, that’s contrary to...

A Thinking AlertCan you be sure you're not a flat-earther?Are you secretly a white supremacist? Do you unknowingly hold racist views deep within your heart? And—dig deep now—Do you believe the earth is flat?It's very likely that the number of flat-earthers in the United States is much higher than the number of white supremacists. The flat-earthers are certainly better organized. They hold meetings, conduct experiments, maintain web sites, and so on. But we don't require our politicians to regularly denounce flat-earthism. We don't make public policies designed to root out and re-educate suspected flat-earthers. HR departments don't hold employee seminars...

“Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste“ (Isaiah 28:14-16). The Hebrew...

Joe Biden invited Megan Rapinoe, the pink-haired, America-hating women’s soccer player to the White House to complain about the “pay gap” affecting women. ’I’m a member of the LGBTQ community with pink hair and where I come from, I could have only dreamed that I would be standing in the position I am today in the White House,’ Rapinoe said. "It doesn’t matter if you’re an electrician, an accountant, or part of the best damn soccer team in the world. The pay gap is real,’ Biden said thanking Rapinoe. Joe Biden completely ignored the biological differences between men and women....

DUXBURY, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts high school fired its successful football coach and hired an outside consultant Wednesday to assist an investigation into reports that the team used anti-Semitic language, including a mention of Auschwitz, in its on-field play-calling during a recent game.

The design of the bank note was unveiled before it is set to be formally issued to the public on June 23, Turing’s birthday. The 50-pound note is the most valuable denomination in circulation but is little used during everyday transactions, especially during the coronavirus pandemic as digital exchanges increasingly replaced the use of cash. The new note, which is laden with high-level security features, completes the bank’s rejig of its stable of paper currencies over the past few years. Turing’s image joins that of Winston Churchill on the five-pound note, novelist Jane Austen on the 10-pound note and artist...

This date in 1843 was a good one to just stick with the guacamole. Though the Republic of Texas (it would join the United States in 1846) had won its independence from Mexico a few years before, hostilities between the two continued. Skirmishes in the frontierlands at length triggered a Texan reprisal-slash-plundering expedition. The officially independent Somervell Expedition of volunteer Texan militiamen captured a couple of Mexican towns, then disbanded to go home. Those members of it optimistic about their chances for more raiding set off for Ciudad Mier* — the Mier Expedition. Their optimism was misplaced. The Mier Expedition...

VIDEOLike Pope Benedict XVI, Joe Biden is turning his power over to his successor, President Kamala Harris. Of course, the big difference is that at least Pope Benedict served 8 years in office before splitting the scene while Biden is doing it barely 2 months in. Apparently the strain is too much for him to handle. We have never before seen someone in the high office completely refuse responsibility. Remember when the Japanese attacked pearl harbor and President Roosevelt turned the war effort over to Vice President Henry Wallace? Or how about when President Kennedy made Vice President Lyndon Johnson...

According to the police report, Riddle had just exited the school with her own daughter after a meeting with the vice principal about her 8th grader’s “hostile outbursts” at another student. Rather than leaving the campus after the meeting, First Coast News says Riddle’s daughter went to the cafeteria to start a fight with the other child. Riddle’s daughter threw some punches on the victim before Riddle joined in, throwing punches herself. Riddle had a boxing glove on her hand when she arrived at the school and had told officials it was super glued to her wrist and unable to...

China may be a closed, authoritarian, militant, "reverse-engineering" society. But even more importantly, China has the world's largest consumer army, and that - more than anything else - is why China is feared by countless corporations around the globe, all of whom desperately seek access to this army of rabid buyers.For the latest example of that look no further than the plunge in H&M shares, which fell as much as 3.1% in Stockholm, while Nike dropped 3.6% in U.S. premarket trading, with the brands facing possible boycotts in China over their stance on using cotton sourced from the contentious Xinjiang...

When Lt. General Tom McInerney was the #3 guy at the Pentagon, his perspectives helped shape the direction of the nation. Now that he is retired, he continues to try to share important information. But instead of giving it to the government where it may or may not be used properly, he is delivering important information to the people who need to understand what’s happening with the elections, Covid-19, China, cyberwarfare, vaccines, and the current biological attack against the nation. “We are in World War III,” the General said in an interview this morning. “We did not have a pandemic...
