Through a series of laws, Washington Democrats have given the state’s most dangerous criminals a chance at freedom. They are effectively releasing murderers without any remorse. The latest degenerate to get out of jail early is a man who murdered a 14-year-old girl after she fought his attempted rape. Democrats passed a bill knowing it would help this monster. It will be the second time he’s escaped a life sentence. But Democrats don’t want to speak about what they’re doing ahead of the midterms. Indeed, one lawmaker’s communications director asked a reporter to check back after the election for a...

I have enjoyed working here these past several years. You have paid me very well and given me benefits beyond belief. I have 3 to 4 months off per year, and a pension plan that will pay my salary till the day I die and then pay my estate one year's salary death bonus and then continue to pay my spouse my salary with increases until she or he dies along with a health plan that most people can only dream of having. Despite this, I plan to take the next 12 to 18 months to find a new position....

In New York, so-called "bail reform" is having tragic consequences. More accurately called the "get out of jail no matter what" law, it has helped some of the worst predators throughout the state commit violent crimes over and over again as they repeatedly pass through the jail's revolving door. The problem is so bad that polls show Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) is in serious jeopardy of losing her election two months from now. Hochul is in denial, refusing to act to fix the problem and instead blaming her state's problem on guns. **SNIP** In Washington state, Democrats in the state...

"Canadians are hurting and it is our job to transfer that hurt into hope And so I'm issuing a challenge to Justin Trudeau today. If you really understand the suffering of Canadians Mr. Prime Minister. If you understand that people can't gas their cars, feed their families or afford homes for themselves. If you really care commit today that there will be no new tax increases on workers and on seniors, none.

“In 2021 I could see him starting to spiral. Then in 2022, he was completely spiraled off the deep end. Every conversation we had he had to bring up vaccines or COVID or 5G or EMFs or something or just anything ridiculous you could think of,” Rebecca Lanis said. “If any of you have relatives like this you need to start monitoring them,” she said. “If they have guns you should hide them or something because these people are dangerous.”

Two men and a teenage boy were shot dead in West Park overnight Monday, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office. BSO spokesperson Carey Codd said the shooting happened in the 4100 block of Southwest 21st Street just after midnight. Codd said deputies found one of the men with gunshot wounds at the scene and medics took him to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

WHIDBEY ISLAND, WASHINGTON — We want to emphasize that there is no definitive proof that the pilot of this plane was “vaccinated.” The company that operated the plane, however, frequently flies into Canada. All flight crews, pilots, truckers, passengers, etc. have been required to be fully vaccinated to travel in and out of Canada since January. Twelve of this particular plane’s final 29 flights went to Canada or originated in Canada (return trips).Based on what’s unfolded so far since the Sunday, September 4 plane crash in the Puget Sound, all anyone, including the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), can and...

When I tried to help police avoid disrespect to an indigenous protestor, police turned on me. I was manhandled at a cathedral where I am in conversation with the acrchbishop and other great priests about joining. A police officer's finger or two fingers ended up down the back of my underpants. Police are threatening to take me to court like a criminal. I do not trust the cops in this leftist police state, but I give myself a chance of getting help from the archbishop. God bless the priesthood. Some of what the West stands for still survives in that...

“Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom” (Proverbs 13:10).

PM Mishustin would become acting president and elections would be held, but experts say the substance of a post-Putin Russia is tough to predict. In recent months, the health of Russian President Vladimir Putin has been the subject of much speculation, with claims that he has cancer, Parkinson’s, or has even survived an assassination attempt. But so far, no doctor’s note has been produced. “He can stay in power for 10 years or more if he wants, it really depends on the circumstances,” political analyst Tatiana Stanovaya told Al Jazeera. “I wouldn’t really pay too much attention to the problem...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan on Monday cautioned that courts look political and forfeit legitimacy when they needlessly overturn precedent and decide more than they have to. Speaking less than three months after a five-justice conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade's constitutional guarantee of abortion access, Kagan said the public's view of the court can be damaged especially when changes in its membership lead to big changes in the law. She stressed that she was not talking about any particular decision or even a string of rulings with which she disagreed. Still, her remarks were similar to...

A senior Israeli official representing Prime Minister Yair Lapid on Monday declared that Iran talks are “dead”.The official called on Europe and the US on Monday to begin talking about demands for a “longer, stronger” nuclear agreement with Iran, saying current talks aimed at reviving a 2015 pact were dead after Jerusalem provided proof that Tehran had not been forthright during negotiations.Lapid and his top aides were in Berlin Monday, where the Israeli Prime Minister says he passed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz “sensitive and relevant intelligence information” on Iran’s nuclear program.The day prior, Germany, France, and the UK issued a...

Known for decades as a bug hive of progressive ideology and ground zero for many socialist movements within the US, San Francisco is no stranger to instability. However, the political schizophrenia of the region was long tempered by extensive business interests and California's profit potential. Entrepreneurs helped to balance out the cultism and CA was lucky enough to see unprecedented economic fortune. Many leftist politicians to this day try to take credit for the prosperity of the state, but the days of wine and roses are long gone. While LA lost its shining gloss in the early 1970s when crime...

New Zealand will be retiring its COVID-19 traffic light system and significantly scaling down COVID restrictions from Sept. 13 so Kiwis could “move forward with certainty,” Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced.“It’s time to safely turn the page on our COVID-19 management and live without the extraordinary measures we have previously used,” New Zealand will be retiring its COVID-19 traffic light system and significantly scaling down COVID restrictions from Sept. 13 so Kiwis could “move forward with certainty,” Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced.“It’s time to safely turn the page on our COVID-19 management and live without the extraordinary measures we have...

Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers might be going for the legal jugular in the ongoing fight between the Biden Justice Department and the former president over classified information seized from his Mar-a-Lago home on Aug. 8. It’s been over a month, and while some information appears to be classified—the government over-classifies everything—the critical legal area that’s glossed over is that Trump probably was well within his legal rights to possess them. Some documents taken by FBI agents were Time magazine covers, while others were empty folders. The president has near-absolute authority to declassify any record, a power affirmed by the...
