After winking at QAnon for years, Donald Trump is overtly embracing the baseless conspiracy theory, even as the number of frightening real-world events linked to it grows. On Tuesday, using his Truth Social platform, the Republican former president reposted an image of himself wearing a Q lapel pin overlaid with the words “The Storm is Coming.” In QAnon lore, the “storm” refers to Trump’s final victory, when supposedly he will regain power and his opponents will be tried, and potentially executed, on live television. As Trump contemplates another run for the presidency and has become increasingly assertive in the Republican...

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. and Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman last year cast the lone vote in a failed bid to commute the sentence of a man convicted of murdering a woman with a pair of scissors. The district attorney in the case alleged during an interview with Fox News Digital on Thursday that Fetterman "had a predetermined agenda" to get the man released, and that he tried to use his power as chair of the state's Board of Pardons to substitute the "power of the jury and the criminal justice system." John David Brookins was convicted of first-degree murder and...

A recent video of Muslims and Danes quarreling in Denmark is revealing in more ways than one—especially for those who are considering the merits of the Great Replacement theory. In the video, one Muslim man can be heard yelling the following words to a Dane: We have five children, you only have one or two. In ten to fifteen years there will be more Pakistanis than Danes in this country!… The Danes are five million, soon you’ll be exterminated [or extinct?]. Look at the Swedes, look at the Norwegians, look at the Finns, man! We are multiples [of] millions,...

MEMORIAL OF SAINTS CORNELIUS, POPE, AND CYPRIAN, BISHOP, MARTYRS LUKE 8:1–3 Friends, our Gospel today celebrates the female disciples of Jesus. One of the principal marks of Jesus’ teaching is the overturning of social conventions. In service of what he calls the kingdom of God, God’s way of ordering the world, he says and does all sorts of outrageous things. And one of the most striking and surprising of Jesus’ moves is a radical inclusion of women. He allows women into his inner circle (practically unheard of for a rabbi). He speaks publicly to the woman at the well. He...

In early 1972, Nancy Anderson was a 19-year-old who had been living in Hawaii for less than a year after graduating high school. On January 7, 1972, Anderson was found dead in her Waikiki apartment. She had been stabbed more than 60 times. Police spent 50 years trying to solve her murder, reopening the case numerous times and coming up with new suspects, the New York Post reported. Authorities spoke to a pair of door-to-door knife salesmen who had visited Anderson’s home just hours before her murder, along with former boyfriends and the apartment building’s property manager – but all...

One Sunday night last winter, Gov. Ron DeSantis was holding court with some of his supporters at a swank Italian restaurant on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. Musing about the hordes of “illegal alien” criminals being secretly flown into Florida by the Brandon regime, DeSantis mentioned that he was thinking about sending some of the surly foreign indigents to such citadels of the Beautiful People as … the Hamptons … and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. “Don’t forget Martha’s Vineyard!” someone shouted at DeSantis. “And Nantucket too!” That was me, I was the guy yelling at DeSantis to send some of the...

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MA — After two days of dealing with the insufferable busybodies at the Martha's Vinyard Home Owners Association, illegal immigrants have decided to go back home and take their chances with the cartels. "Man, the cartels are bad where I come from, but this is a whole other level," said immigrant Juan Ramirez as he climbed back on the unmarked charter bus. "How do you people live like this? You have to pay $1000 per month for a team of white ladies named 'Karen' to come to inspect your hedges and whine when you don't do them right?...

Turns out they wanted the status titles all along, just not the 'life of service. There's class. And if you have none, you might be Meghan and Harry. The "non-working" royals, as the matter is delicately put, are in a snit these days because now that the queen is dead, they didn't get the spoils they thought they were entitled to: According to the New York Post: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s kids will not be given His and Her Royal Highness titles — leaving the exiled couple once again “furious” at the royal family over the snub, according to...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that it was “dangerous” that Republicans are “enthralled” by what she deemed to be a “fraud” and “con artist” as former President Donald Trump. Co-host Willie Geist asked, “What do you think, Secretary Clinton, when you hear elected officials, many of them prominent senators, some of them calling for you to be put in prison for having the server in your home, now saying of this incident, well, it’s a bookkeeping issue, it’s a storage problem. There’s nothing to see here. Lindsey Graham, saying if you indict this...

Democrats on Martha’s Vineyard, the elite vacation hub of the nation’s wealthiest residents, are praising themselves as do-gooders for coming to the aid of illegal aliens sent to the island before having them shipped to a nearby military base. This week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) flew about 50 illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard — a wealthy enclave of liberals and home to former President Obama who owns a nearly $12 million estate. Even as Martha’s Vineyard residents vote almost entirely for Democrats, local officials put pressure on Gov. Charlie Baker (R) to intervene and have the illegal aliens deported...

Penfield, N.Y. — A local private school is facing backlash from some parents over changes to its student handbook. The new policy from the Charles Finney School says it reserves the right to discontinue enrollment of LGBTQ students. Heidi Buckler enrolled her daughter at Finney, a Christian school in Penfield, in 2018. Her son would follow soon after. "When we first initially met with everyone, they seemed nice and warm and welcoming," Buckler said. "It seemed like a nice family atmosphere." Buckler, who describes herself as spiritual, thought a religious education would be beneficial. "They talked about Jesus and the...

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has reversed its decision to grant George Floyd a posthumous pardon for a 2004 drug conviction, according to a letter obtained by CNN. The about-face on Wednesday comes nearly a year after the board voted unanimously to recommend the pardon and more than two years after Floyd was killed by a former Minneapolis officer. The board did not cite a reason for its decision in the letter, which was sent Thursday to the Harris County public defender working on behalf of Floyd’s surviving family members. “After a full and careful review of the...

Bluntly challenged by Indian Prime Minister Nerandra Modi over the war in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday said that Russia would strive to stop the conflict “as soon as possible” but then blamed Ukraine for refusing to negotiate, though Putin ordered the invasion and his troops are still occupying a large swath of Ukrainian territory. Putin’s remarks came during an appearance with Modi, in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, where they are attending a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. In a stunning public rebuke, Modi told Putin: “Today’s era is not an era of war, and I have spoken to...

Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan tells of a veteran-owned organization being labeled as an extremist organization. Last month, Green Beret and former government contractor Mike Glover put out a video on his YouTube channel titled "I am NOT a terrorist" after the FBI accused his organization "Field Craft Survival" of being an extremist group. Field Craft Survival is an organization that teaches survival skills and gun safety. "He's an American veteran serving his community and loves this country," Jordan said on the "Just the News, Not Noise" TV show. "Then some woke analysts at the FBI...
