God Bless the memory of Glen Campbell he lives a full life including the wild side with drugs the "illegal drugs" of course nowadays there's money to be made in drugs so we have legalized marijuana sales and the Pharma Industry cashing in and God Forbid anyone criticize Big Pharma which does a lot of advertising with Big Media... Folks like Peter Hitchens see connections between the extreme violence out there and the perps taking those "antidepressants" but in his column last weekend he too on the rage over Shamima Begum the teenager who joined ISIS (Islamic State) in Syria......

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- The San Jose Police Department is investigating after a suspect in possession of explosive material was arrested. He's now believed to be responsible for blowing up two PG&E transformers. The suspect has been identified as 36-year-old San Jose resident Peter Karasev who made his first court appearance on Friday. SJPD says the investigation began with two separate incidents involving explosive devices between December and January. On Jan. 5, officers responded to the 6000 block of Snell Ave. on a report of a damaged transformer. A PG&E employee said an explosion occurred the night before around...

Investigators believe Theresa Cain shot her family members, killing three of them, just minutes before deputies arrived to serve them with eviction papers as they were removed from their foreclosed home... (SNIP) When deputies pulled up to the family home on Riebel Ridge Road in Ohio Township around 9:40 a.m. Monday, Theresa Cain was standing on the patio outside, Leahy said. Deputies expected no issues. They checked with her before Monday to ensure all would go smoothly. She had been cooperative. She indicated she still had a few things to pack. She requested and received a few extra hours but...

While some dogs don't show interest in watching television, others are enthralled by screens. These dogs are often attracted to animal television shows. Domestic dogs can perceive and recognize onscreen images of animals on TV similarly to the way humans do. In several cases, pet owners have shared videos of their dogs reacting to seeing one of their own in danger on TV or seeing a wild animal on TV.

JayCee Cooper, a transgender athlete, won a discrimination case against USA Powerlifting this week after the federation banned her from competing in female events. With Cooper's victory comes a mandate the federation "cease and desist from all unfair discriminatory practices" because of sexual orientation and gender identity. The organization must revise its policy related to those issues within two weeks, meaning trans athletes will be able to compete in the women's category after previously being banned.

@EssexPR There should be a criminal inquiry into Matt Hancock. People took their own lives through fear and through the thought of a Covid filled future. People lost their loved ones and businesses. We warned you that the Government were nudging and using fear & you called us names.

Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww5Lf97hXQMMNot so long ago, a left-wing pressure campaign forced Harry’s Razors to cut ties with a couple of right-wing podcasts. Little did they know, that decision would create a thriving competitor in the men’s shaving niche. In a real-world example of punching back twice as hard, Jeremy Boering, the ‘lower-case g lower-case k’ ‘god-king’ of the Daily Wire started a rival company as an elaborate middle finger at Harry’s for pulling ad revenue. (Pay attention business-minded Conservatives sick of the left’s bully tactics, there’s a potentially thriving business model in here for you.) His rival razor company turned...

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, an ally of former President Trump, accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday of being a “Trojan horse,” calling into question the governor’s conservative credentials. “The media is covering up for Ron DeSantis,” Lindell asserted while speaking on the convention center floor of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in a video shared online. “He is a Trojan Horse; he is the Trojan Horse. Do not believe anything you’re reading by the media about Ron DeSantis.” Lindell pointed to DeSantis’s battle with Disney, which ignited after the company pushed back on the state’s Parental...

The best things about living in Australia are still good. The footy. And other sports. Genuine mateship. The mild climate. The open spaces. People of faith of many different kinds. But when there is Socialist Left leadership in both the state capital of Melbourne and the national capital of Canberra, the worst things are terrible. When I was in handcuffs and under arrest after standing up for the human rights of an aboriginal man and communing spiritually with him at the door to a major church on 9/11 last year during the Queen Elizabeth memorial service, one police officer put...

Former Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake of Arizona alleged Saturday that she was offered a bribe to stay out of politics for two years. “Something happened to me this week before I left for CPAC and it shows how desperate these people are to stop me,” Lake said during the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). (RELATED: ‘You Shouldn’t Write Her Off’: BBC Reporter Says Kari Lake Has Lots Of Potential) “Somebody showed up at my door this week,” Lake continued. “They called me before and said: I gotta talk to you in person, this can’t be done over the...

What are some great western films, especially old, without any mexicO's language or music involved? I guess maybe Midwesters are the best chance?

Gun Owners of America’s Florida director Luis Valdes figured the best way to find out what DeSantis thinks about open carry is to ask him directly. So Valdes bought a copy of the Governor’s new book and stood in line for two hours at a book-signing event in Jacksonville. As DeSantis was signing the book for Valdes, he asked him about open carry. When asked if he he supports open carry and would like to see it added to the permitless carry bills, DeSantis said . . . Yeah, absolutely. I don’t think [the Legislature] are gonna do it, but...

Donald Trump still doesn't have quite the right insult to hurl at his political foe Ron DeSantis -- but according to a new report, he's got a bright idea ... one that's members only. Bloomberg put out a story detailing what they say is going on behind the scenes at Mar-a-Lago lately -- especially in terms of DT executing his comeback on the campaign trail ... and trying to deal with the Florida Gov.'s growing popularity among conservatives/Republicans. One of the ways Trump reportedly plans on taking RDS down -- assuming he announces a presidential bid -- is to make...

If you’ve ever been shocked by a radically progressive California law, chances are you have one group to blame. Founded 20 years ago as an LGBT advocacy group, Equality California has since grown to become a major player in California politics. Fueled by millions of dollars in donations from corporations like AT&T and Comcast to advocacy groups like Planned Parenthood, the progressive group has emerged as the savviest user of Sacramento’s legislative system. Together with its Democratic allies, Equality California helps set the legislative agenda and has pushed all manner of "woke" policies that help minors get sex changes in...

President Joe Biden took out a still-unexplained and strangely timed $250,000 line of credit on his Delaware beach house as investigations into the shady business dealings of his son, Hunter, continue to ramp up, on top of continuing questions about his own looming classified document scandal. Early last month, it was reported that Biden signed the papers on Dec. 5 for a home equity variable rate line of credit from M&T Bank against his $2.74 million Rehoboth, Delaware, beach house, Fox News reported. In yet another example of a lack of transparency from this White House, despite public knowledge of...

Former President Donald J. Trump said on Saturday he would “obliterate the Deep State” if elected president and told supporters he is their “warrior” and “retribution.” “In 2016, I declared I am your voice. Today, I add, I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution,” said Trump, delivering the keynote address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, DC.

A Manhattan Institute study confirms that K-12 schools are effectively indoctrinating students into radical — revolutionary, even — political ideologies. Last month, the Manhattan Institute released a groundbreaking new study, titled “School Choice Is Not Enough: The Impact of Critical Social Justice Ideology in American Education.” The study presents survey results of a representative sample of over 1,500 Americans aged 18-20. Their primary finding was that "Ninety-three percent of American 18- to 20-year-olds said that they had heard about at least one of eight [Critical Social Justice] concepts from a teacher or other adult at school, including 'white privilege,' 'systemic...

Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida, is trying to put a stop to damaging progressive theories such as gender ideology and critical race theory in his state. His efforts have already seen some success, leading to some more or less appropriate comparisons between him and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Some mean it as an insult, others an endorsement.

The United States Marine Corps disbanded its elite and historic scout sniper program as part of its extensive revamp to adapt infantry battalions to future warfare. The age-old MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) has been around since World War II, and one nonprofit organization representing the renowned Scout Snipers is calling the Corps move “misguided” and “ill-advised.” “We’re shocked and saddened that our Marine Corps leadership seems to have forgotten the lessons learned in combat, paid for with the blood of our members,” the USMC Scout Sniper Association wrote on Facebook. A memo from Deputy Commandant for Plans, Policy, and Operations...
