WASHINGTON, Sunday, Sept. 29. During last week it was so frequently reported from day to day, that our troops had taken possession of Munson's Hill, that when last night this long predicted event took place, it found few believers among those least excited by sensation reports. A personal visit however puts the fact beyond doubt. The American flag now floats there in place of that of the rebels. Detachments from Gen.'s RICHARDSON's, KEYE's and WADSWORTH's Brigades, and also from Gen. FRANKLIN's Division now occupy Munson's Hill, being in command of Col. FERRY of the Fifth Michigan regiment. Early this forenoon,...

Dog the Bounty Hunter, who is on the hunt for fugitive Brian Laundrie, has reportedly come across a fresh campsite at a Florida park where he and his team found a can of Monster Energy Ultra Gold. The can showed no signs of rust or faded colors, but the reality TV star — whose real name is Duane Chapman — found no firm evidence the late Gabby Petito’s boyfriend was still on Egmont Key in the woods of Shell Island near Fort De Soto Park, Fox News reported. “We’re here at the island. This would be and could be the...

Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin continued to spar one day after the final debate in the campaign for Virginia Governor. One exchange that continued to receive attention Wednesday involved legislation that would require schools to notify parents of sexually-explicit content in their curriculum. The heart of the debate was when Terry McAuliffe looked at the camera and said, "I don’t think parents should be telling schools what to teach their children."

The ethical corruption of our national new media has extended to a degree that once would have seemed unimaginable. We were exposed to yet another remarkable example with the reporting on the long-awaited audit of the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona. Widespread election fraud had been suspected in Maricopa County, the largest in the state, and the state Legislature authorized a thorough forensic investigation. A draft of the election report was leaked to the press last week, and every news outlet quickly released selectively chosen details. The message was straightforward. The audit proved that Joe Biden had actually won...

Several honest leftists have been red-pilled—that is, their eyes have been opened politically—because of the Democrats’ tyrannical moves in 2020/2021, That list includes Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Naomi Wolf, Tulsi Gabbard, and Bill Maher. They’re not Republicans, by any means, but their disgust with their party is growing. The most recent addition to this cavalcade of honest leftists may be British comedian Russell Brand, who just discovered the truth about Russiagate. Brand started as a stand-up comedian and then moved into TV and movie stints in both Britain and America. Many Americans came to know about him because of his...

A whistleblower has provided government data documenting 48,465 deaths within 14 days of COVID-19 vaccination among Medicare patients alone, according to medical freedom rights attorney Thomas Renz. The announcement Saturday was made by the Ohio-based attorney, who remains involved in several major cases brought against federal agencies relating to fraud and violations of medical freedom rights. In his presentation, Renz expressed his appreciation for whistleblowers who were coming forward to provide the public with such important information from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS). He described the CMS database as the largest available in the U.S. for the...

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- There has been a spate of bear vs people conflicts in Idaho from July through September of 2021. Three of them happened near Island Park, which is in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). A sow with at least one cub mauled a hiker on July 10, 2021.From ksl.com:Although the bear that Whitney estimated between 350 and 400 pounds began to swing its claws and biting him, he lay in the fetal position and covered his head and neck. The bear’s cub stayed a short distance away from the attack.“All I could hear is the growling and I honestly...

It is not often that a point like Lt Col Scheller’s -- that some of the most senior military leaders in charge are found wanting -- is so quickly validated. Lt Col Stewart Scheller is confined to the brig because, to put it in Marine speak, he would not “STFU” about holding leaders accountable. I will leave to a military judge to review his being silenced with brig confinement. Such an order appears to be petty, disgusting, and an overreach made out of fear since he offered to resign. However, it is not often that a point like Lt Col...

Pop superstar Shakira says she was the victim of a random attack by a pair of wild boars while walking in a park in Barcelona with her eight-year-old son. The Colombian singer said the animals attacked her, before seizing her bag and retreating with it into the woods. She shared her bizarre tale in a series of Instagram stories on Wednesday. Holding the now recovered but torn bag towards the camera, she said: "Look at how two wild boar which attacked me in the park have left my bag." "They were taking my bag to the woods with my mobile...

When I was 19, I met a giant among men. Sgt Major Ellis was a Marine’s Marine that stood as proud as the uniform he wore. He knew everyone in the battalion by name (all 1,000, or so) and could outrun most Marines a decade younger than him. He was killed by a suicide bomber. His story is not unique. The white graves that mark Arlington, and countless other cemeteries across America represent a story like his. That is why veterans feel bitter, angry, and betrayed after the slipshod pullout of Afghanistan. Not only because of the way it was...

In August, a slew of healthcare groups gave their employees deadlines to take COVID-19 vaccines or face termination. Although these mandates on paper allowed for religious and medical exemptions, in multiple cases, when exemptions proved hard to come by, employees facing threats of termination resorted to lawsuits to hold onto their jobs. How did these lawsuits turn out, and who eventually submitted to the will of the other: the healthcare group or the plaintiffs? University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Health Systems: A Win for the Right to Medical Privacy Earlier this month, University of Alabama at Birmingham Health Systems,...

American voters are not buying any of the propaganda the liberal media has been pushing in trying to sell the $3.5 trillion spending monstrosity put forward by the Democratic Party. A new poll of 1,000 likely voters by Rasmussen Reports released Sept. 27 found that “Fifty-three percent (53%) are opposed to passage of the $3.5 trillion [reconciliation] spending measure, including 41% who Strongly Oppose passage.” As Rasmussen described it, “[m]ost voters are against the $3.5 trillion ‘reconciliation’ budget bill now pending in Congress.” The report also noted that the majority of voters are “also opposed to raising the national debt...

I look for you in the garden, But its your soul I seek, To find my heart inside yours hidden safe and deep, So warm, pure and true of virtue and fire, Rising up in you with love for others to inspire, A giving out of heart, An eternal spark, An ember of my love, Warming my beloved, So take the warmth I give, To others so they can live, With me inside as you, This is what I desire you to do, Be the bearer of my love, My pure and holy dove,

This year’s Women’s March has a new name: the “Rally for Abortion Justice.” On Sept. 27, the Washington Post reported that the Women’s March would return to Washington, D.C., this fall “to fight for abortion access.” Organizers are expecting the D.C. event on Saturday, Oct. 2, to attract up to 10,000 people – not counting those attending the 600 sister marches nationwide. The march began in 2017 as a reaction to the election of Donald Trump as president. Now, the focus is on abortion. It’s a theme that promises to divide – rather than unite – women. “Most of the...

CALGARY: Mount Royal University (“MRU”) has backed down following a legal warning from the Justice Centre, after initially requiring exclusively online students to disclose their vaccination status or face potential deregistration from their classes. On September 20, 2021, MRU sent an email to a student who attends all his classes online, warning that if he failed to declare his vaccination status by September 21 at 4 p.m., he “may be deregistered from your courses.” The Justice Centre was contacted by other students who received similar emails. On September 22, 2021, the student received a further email from MRU stating that...

Lord Justice Fulford presiding: Judge says whole life sentence should only be used for exceptional cases. “In my judgement the misuse of a police officer’s role is of equal seriousness as a murder carried out for the purpose of committing a murder for an ideological cause.” It is, he says, exceptional.... BREAKING: Wayne Couzens sentenced to a whole-life term for the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard. He will never leave prison.

The judge tells the court: “Sarah Everard’s state of mind, and what she had to endure would have been as bleak and agonising as it is possible to imagine. Ultimately, she was raped and strangled to death.” Couzens “initially ran an entirely false account in which he pretended he’d been acting under coercion from a gang. With apparent sincerity he gave police officers a wholly false story in which he claimed he was the victim of threats which made him concerned for his own safety.” Lord Justice Fulford: “Notwithstanding his guilty pleas, in my view the defendant throughout sought to...

Epigraph: "Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." George Orwell, "Animal Farm" What were we to make of multimillionaire Barack Obama's 60th birthday bash at his Martha's Vineyard estate, and the throng of the woke wealthy and their masked helot attendants?

They were the best of us, way better than any of the rest of us, by a lot according to the media and Democrats. I’m talking, of course, about the frontline workers who kept us safe and healthy throughout the pandemic. But yesterday’s heroes are today’s history’s greatest monsters…which is what the left is now saying about those they wept at the thought of just one year ago. That opinions of people change over time is no surprise, Democrats are in the process of purging their own history of all the despots, racists, slave owners, rapists, sexual assaulters, misogynists, homophobes,...
