Conservatives, Republicans, and Trump supporters should start licking their chops in anticipation, because in the very near future the spectacle we've long been waiting for will finally materialize: Democrats and “progressives” will form one of the most brutal and effective circular firing squads of all time! The trigger for this bloodbath on the Left will be simple: after months of painstaking legislative sausage-making, Democratic efforts to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill plus a $3.5 trillion social spending and entitlement bill, will collapse in a heap. The Squad's recent success in getting funding for Israel's “Iron Dome” stricken from a...

A draft copy of the 2020 Maricopa County election audit has been leaked to KJZZ, a Phoenix-based radio station.The validity of the draft report they obtained was confirmed by audit spokesman Randy Pullen, who said, “It’s not the final report, but it’s close.”The media is already spinning the findings of the audit.“The partisan review of Maricopa County’s 2.1 million ballots cast in the 2020 election found a vote count nearly identical to what the county had previously reported,” CNN reported. Like other liberal outlets, CNN focused on the results of the hand-recount part of the audit. As we know, hand...

One of the leaders of a Black Lives Matter group in New York City promised an “uprising” against the city’s COVID-19 vaccine passports, decrying the system as racist. According to data provided by New York state, about 85 percent of black residents have not received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Data provided by New York City shows that 64 percent of black people between the ages of 18 and 44 are not fully vaccinated while 56 percent have received one shot. Hawk Newsome, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, told the Washington Examiner that “I...

Anyone who rides public transportation knows that advertising is part of the package. On the outside of buses and the inside of both buses and subways, people are bombarded with ads. In New York, lots of those ads are from OKCupid, encouraging what used to be called deviant sex and pushing a leftist, pro-abortion agenda. One brave woman, though, with help from a couple of friends (or helpful bystanders?), ripped down those ads while lecturing people about the propaganda being poured into them, including propaganda about COVID. It was brilliant.Since I've never used online dating services, I had to look...

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — British actor Tom Felton, known for his portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” movies, collapsed while playing a celebrity golf exhibition Thursday at the Ryder Cup. Ryder Cup organizers said only that Felton experienced “a medical incident” at Whistling Straits and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. They provided no other information.

There’s speculation that Laundrie may have originally fled to the reserve as cover, then traveled elsewhere. He could have taken advantage of the chaos at the southern border to slip into Mexico. Some internet sleuths think he’s in Puerto Rico. Or he could have taken off in a number of other directions. "I don't think he killed himself," Pat Diaz, a retired Miami-Dade homicide detective who has worked alongside state and federal investigators on missing persons cases told FoxNews. "I think he's just going to disappear." Dan Riemer, a Florida private investigator, agreed. "That search in the swamp is leading...

Editor's Note: This piece was co-authored by Joy Zavalick.Last Friday afternoon, U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra quietly announced a new set of actions in response to the implementation of Texas’ Heartbeat Act, a pro-life law the U.S. Supreme Court recently allowed to go into effect while further litigation plays out. Today, Speaker Pelosi is forcing a vote on Congresswoman Judy Chu’s (D-Calif.) Women’s Health Protection Act (H.R. 3755). A more accurate name for this bill would be the Abortion on Demand Act, since it seeks to codify Roe v. Wade and supersede state laws, thus preventing...

Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time Luke 9:18–22 Friends, the Gospel for today is incomparably rich and mysterious. First, we notice that peculiar question, "Who do people say that I am?" No other religious figure or founder would ask such a question. This is the primordial and peculiar question of the Christian faith. It has to do with Jesus and who he is. The first group that "responds" is the general public: "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets." A range of opinions—and all of them wrong. Then that devastating question: "But who do you...

Facebook this week dispatched its high-level executives to ask customers to hang in there. They weren’t, of course, visiting to discuss the Wall Street Journal’s recent exposé of the company’s unsavory practices. But instead, Facebook VPs, including Simon Whitcombe and Graham Mudd, spoke to advertisers about Apple’s anti-tracking initiative, the one thing wreaking immediate harm on the company’s ad effectiveness and its bottom line...Apple is indeed doing more damage to Facebook than any of its rolling series of scandals so far. The changes Apple made in iOS 14.5 — asking people if they wanted to opt-out of apps tracking them...

Even if you want to visit, you can’t. But who would want to? True to its name, Snake Island is home to a large population of snakes. And little else. Specifically, it is home to the deadly and endangered Golden Lancehead viper. With an incredibly fast-acting and deadly venom that can melt skin, this in one snake you’re best off avoiding. In fact, you’re best off avoiding this entire island. And most do, and not just because visitors are banned. I guess people prefer not to have their skin melt. All that said, we can’t deny that this island and...

On MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour,” host Brian Williams played a montage of the craziest school board meetings with anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers taking over the discourse. This is just a sampling of some of the wilder comments from the montage: “You want to wear snot on your face all day? Fine, you do you, boo. But don’t force that non-science, Satanic BS on our kids,” one unidentified man said. “By putting masks on these kids’ face, you can’t identify any of them. Voting on this tells me you guys support sex trafficking,” said another unidentified man. “And let me tell you...

Joe Biden claims to be a lot of things he is not and he has a long history of doing just that. The truth is that he is not very bright, he is not a nice person, he is not responsible, he is a chronic liar and he is a vicious and mean b*stard. Ron DeSantis is everything Biden is not. He is honest, principled, a decorated veteran, a successful lawyer, representative and now Governor of Florida. Despite the garbage you hear being spewed by the left, DeSantis is pro-vaccine: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is urging Floridians to get...

A trio of Australian police officers visited a man claiming they are doing "welfare checks" to ask residents if they plan on participating in the ongoing protests against COVID-19 mitigation efforts.

VIDEOYou know right from the start that a caller to a radio show is a seminar caller when they start off identifying themselves as a "lifelong" Republican or that they have been a Republican all their life. One such caller was hilariously exposed by Steve Kane and his co-host Brian Craig on the Steve Kane Radio show on September 24, 2021.This clip is yet another example of why the Steve Kane Radio Show is the longest running radio show (44+ years) of any kind in the state of Florida. BTW, you don't have to live in South Florida to listen...
