Neil Patel, operator of a Karco gas station at Broad and Clearfield streets in North Philadelphia, recruited Pennsylvania S.I.T.E Agents clad with Kevlar vest and AR-15s or shotguns. "They are forcing us to hire the security, high-level security, state level," Patel told FOX 29. "We are tired of this nonsense; robbery, drug trafficking, hanging around, gangs."

CAIRO, Ill., Saturday, Dec. 6. From the Memphis papers we learn that Gen. HOVEY'S Expedition, twenty thousand strong, which left Helena, Ark., some days ago, landed at Friar's Point, some fifteen or twenty miles below, marched to Grenada. Miss., and took possession of that place last Monday. A large number of the citizens of Grenada fled on the approach of our troops. The proprietor of the Appeal removed his newspaper establishment to Marietta, Ga. Before the National occupation of Grenada the rebels burned some fifteen or twenty locomotives, and about a hundred cars.FROM GEN. BURNSIDE'S ARMY.A Demonstration Against Our Gunboats...

We are now experiencing the inevitable results of giving power to men and women who don’t deserve it. After over two centuries, the Declaration of Independence remains the most perfect instrument of human government ever devised by mankind. Its foundation (that our rights come from God, not men), its principles (that men only consent to be governed if their God-given rights and freedoms are protected by such government, and not diminished) are as applicable to our urban, post-modern technological society as they were in a rural, agrarian one. But the Founders were prescient in their understanding of mankind. Ben Franklin’s...

Every single day our electrical grid remains vulnerable, we are in grave danger. Almost 50,000 Duke Power customers in Moore County, N.C. were left in the dark on Sunday night in what has been called a domestic act of terrorism. A curfew is running from 9 P.M. to 5 A.M. as schools close and crime spikes. Most customers remain without heat, refrigeration, and water. Duke Energy spokesman Jeff Brooks said, "We are looking at a pretty sophisticated repair with some fairly large equipment and so we do want citizens of the town to be prepared that this will be a...

German police staged nationwide raids on Wednesday and arrested 25 people suspected of belonging to a far-right "terror cell" plotting to overthrow the government and attack parliament. Around 3,000 officers including elite anti-terror units took part in the early morning raids and searched more than 130 properties, in what German media described as one of the country's largest police actions ever against extremists. The raids targeted alleged members of the "Citizens of the Reich" (Reichsbuerger) movement suspected of "having made concrete preparations to violently force their way into the German parliament with a small armed group". Those arrested are accused...

In a mistake that will make a complicated situation even more confusing, about 9 million Americans received erroneous emails in November saying that their application for the Biden administration’s student debt relief program had been approved. The administration had said that 26 million borrowers have applied for loan relief (16 million of whom have already been approved for relief), and that the Department of Education “will hold onto their information so it can quickly process their relief once we prevail in court.” However, CBS News reported that the erroneous messages were part of updates the Department of Education had sent...

With JCPA attempt it is time for Mitch McConnell To Go. It seems hard to believe, but just a few short years ago, the Republican Party had the United States Senate. Then in 2020, the Republicans under Mitch McConnell lost the Senate to the Democrats 50/50 with the tie breaker being Kamala Harris. Now it's 2022 and after expecting Mitch to take back the Senate. It has gone the other way. With 51 Democrats, 49 Republicans. What do I blame for this? Mail in Voting and Ballot harvesting, plain and simple. Who do I blame for this? Mitch McConnell. With...

[T]he culture of higher education has operated to undermine its own continuing existence. The unrelentingly, radicalizing social-justice spirit of contemporary higher education includes open denunciation of people at the higher end of the socioeconomic spectrum. They have long made up the lion’s share of families paying full tuition, shouldering a disproportionate part of the work of making higher education economically feasible. I have heard that denunciatory sentiment expressed dozens of times on my campus by faculty members. Wealthy students, and especially wealthy white students, are described as an unwieldy burden on the new mission of higher education, which is, of...

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- On October 11, 2022, a Washington State resident and his wife were hunting birds on block grant land near a creek bottom, with their dogs, in Choteau, Montana.

The contracts vary but provide access to...

resident Joe Biden is threatening the returns of 401(k) savings accounts, risking millions of workers’ comfortable retirements. If you put money into a 401(k), beware. Until now, the law always required fund managers entrusted with your savings to invest the money where it’s expected to get the top profit for you. Period. But late last month, Biden’s Labor Department announced a rule change that goes into effect at the end of January. It will allow fund managers to invest your money in the stocks of companies that favor left-wing policies, even if they earn a lower return. It’s legalized theft....

It’s been more than two years since The Post published the first article on Hunter Biden’s laptop and for much of that time, the effort to reveal Joe Biden’s role in his son’s dirty deals seemed stalled or even hopeless. Democratic propaganda outlets circled the wagons around the president they helped elect and never asked him or the White House if Biden is “the big guy” slated to get a secret 10% cut in his son’s deal with a Chinese conglomerate. Similarly, social media platforms continued to restrict users who didn’t follow the party line that Democrats are the good...

The day may be coming when we can bring asteroids back to earth to process. I understand the usefulness of the metals in these asteroids and I understand the benefits of grinding them to a powder to get the water and gases released from them. My question are there any uses for the rock that will be left over?

On Tuesday night, police responded to a call at Senator Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) home in response to a report of a stabbing or cutting incident. According to KTRK, Houston Police Department (HPD) responded to a report of a 14-year-old with self-inflicted wounds. However, authorities were unable to confirm whether or not the teenager was a member of Cruz’s family. Fox News Houston reporter, Matthew Seedorff, reported that HPD confirmed it was “not a family violence issue” and that “no criminal activity” was involved. A spokesperson from Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s office released a statement, stating, “This is a family matter,...

The opposition to Mr. McCarthy’s ascent to speaker is driven by a group of five Republican lawmakers. Despite the absence of a viable alternative, they are determined to use their leverage in a bare Republican majority to make it difficult, if not impossible, for Mr. McCarthy to win the 218 votes needed to secure the speaker’s gavel on the opening day of the 118th Congress. Republicans are poised to govern with a five-seat majority, which means just a handful of rank-and-file lawmakers could thwart Mr. McCarthy’s election. Rep. Andy Biggs, Arizona Republican, is leading the effort to depose Mr. McCarthy,...
