A reporter from a national news network recently asked me: “Where do you see America today?”

Leaked emails from a Colorado elementary school revealed administrators going behind a parent's back to secretly transition a student. Laurel Elementary School Assistant Principal, Amanda Pawelski, and Poudre School District Chief Equity Officer, Marlena Gross-Taylor, were caught in leaked emails discussing going behind a parent's back to instruct an elementary school student by their preferred pronouns. On March 31, 2022, Amanda reached out to Marlena, who was only a few months into her new position, about an unidentified student who has 'expressed their pronouns and chosen name but their parents directly [told] school staff not to call the students by...

The US military is training two Ukrainian pilots on American soil to gauge how much time they would need in order to learn how to fly fighter jets such as the F-16. The pair are being taught using flight simulators at a base in Tucson, Arizona, a senior US official told NBC News. The official said that neither pilot will fly actual aircraft during their time in the US. As many as ten more pilots will arrive this month for similar training referred to as a 'familiarization event.'

China announced it will boost its military budget by nearly $230 billion this year amid concerns it will launch an invasion of Taiwan. The money is set to 'boost combat preparedness and enhance military capabilities,' claimed Premier Li Keqiang ahead of a draft budget presented to the National People's Congress in Beijing. It means China's military spending will grow at its fastest pace in four years and take up a larger share of its economy, marking the reversal of a two-decade trend which has seen the nation prioritize growth over its military capabilities.

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...

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.

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...
