Former President Donald Trump offered a half-eaten slice of pizza to enthusiastic supporters while making a surprise stop at Downtown House of Pizza in Fort Myers, Florida, on Friday night. The video, posted on Twitter by CNN reporter Kate Sullivan, shows the former president holding a box of pepperoni pizza in one hand and a slice in the other as the crowd chants "Trump." "Does anybody want a piece that I've eaten?" he shouts before taking a bite from the slice. But even for Trump's adoring supporters, the invitation was too much, and they replied "No!" in unison. Over 100...

Last summer, Christine spotted a hickey on her then-15-year-old daughter’s neck. When she asked where it came from, her teen turned bright red. That’s when the girl confessed to dating a female classmate and came out to her mother as bisexual — joining a trend which, new data shows, is making Gen Z women the most openly bisexual group in society. "I really don’t care about her sexuality. I mean, my sister is gay." The mom told The Post. But secretly Christine couldn’t help wondering: Was her teenager — living in one of California’s most affluent cities and a freshman...

Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said his office is reviewing information regarding the Red Cross after a Daily Caller News Foundation report found that the organization had guides for migrants trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, he revealed exclusively to the DCNF in a sit-down interview. Paxton noted that his office has yet to open any formal investigation into the matter, telling the DCNF that his team is “starting to gather facts and determine whether that is something we need to dedicate some of our resources to it.” The DCNF obtained the guides in February that showed routes to...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is introducing wristband monitors to lessen the stigma associated with tracking illegal migrants released into the U.S. interior, according to an internal document and two U.S. officials who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation. ICE said in the unreleased statement that the program will be tested in a “limited” capacity in Denver as part of its Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program, which uses ankle monitors, cellphones and phone applications to track illegal immigrants released into the country. The two officials told the DCNF that the new technology was introduced to appease organizations like the...

The Queer Eye star, Jonathan Van Ness, owned the red carpet at the 2019 Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles on Saturday. The bearded Van Ness wore a strapless black minidress,“…adorned with an elaborate mint green satin bow on the back, which trailed behind him as he sashayed down the red carpet with the rest of the Fab Five – Tan France, Karamo Brown, Bobby Berk, and Antoni Porowski.” (Jonathan Van Ness Won the Emmy Awards Red Carpet in a Stapless Black Minidress With an Elaborate Mint Green Bow, Rachel Hosie, Insider, Sept. 16, 2019)It is paradoxical that Progressivism’s highly...

Finance guru Catherine Austin Fitts warns that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are part of a plan to end all currencies and establish a slavery system CBDCs will rapidly usher in an era of taxation without representation, leading to the end of liberty Fitts believes that a deliberate takedown caused Silicon Valley Bank to collapse, in an effort by a variety of players to panic the public and cause a banking run By creating a banking run, many will take their money out of small banks and put it with the central banks that are at the root of the...

Good news! I live near Chicago and remember the relentless pressure on Chicago policemen and firemen to get vaccinated against Covid. Watch the former mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, say, “They will be vaccinated,” in this triggering video. (do not open it if you get upset easily). I took their struggle to heart because I, a frequent visitor to Chicago, was also discriminated against. I was not allowed to enter Cook County restaurants since I was not vaccinated. Of course, being locked out of restaurants and gyms cannot compare with the anguish and stress of being laid off without pay....

There was a time when conservatives told themselves that safe spaces, trigger warnings and speech bans would stay on campus. “Just wait until those kids get out into the real world and discover that they can’t get jobs studying critical race theory,” they would snicker. Not only can they get jobs, but their job in government and corporate DEI is purging you. There’s no real world anymore. We live in a giant totalitarian campus in the University States of America whose administrators are government officials and corporate leaders in which elections matter much less than catering to the whims of...

In the most recent weeks, we have discovered how the FBI worked inside Twitter, Facebook and social media to control information, remove content and manipulate opinion on behalf of the U.S. government – all political. We have also learned the FBI is taking active measures to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop story and control any negative consequences for the Biden regime – again, political.Now, we discover the FBI are the control officers hiding the release of the Audrey Hale manifesto which outlines the deep psychological motives she held within her transgender mindset. A belief system that culminated in...

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18, NKJV). We become what we observe! The focus of our attention spreads its influence all through our lives. What we behold with our spiritual eyes obsesses us; it takes over. Paul chose to be obsessed with Christ; the Savior became the sole object of his thinking, preaching and doctrine. “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and...

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Matt. 5:9). True peace exists only where truth reigns. People often define peace as the absence of conflict, but God sees it differently. The absence of conflict is merely a truce, which might end overt hostilities but doesn't resolve the underlying issues. A truce simply introduces a cold war, which often drives the conflict underground, where it smolders until erupting in physical or emotional disaster. James 3:17 says, "The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable." Godly wisdom, purity, and peace go hand- in-hand. Peace is wisdom...

A new “church” in California just opened: The Church of Potential Life. It was established in response to the Supreme Court Dobb’s decision, MSN Insider reports. It isn’t a church to pray for the unborn, as the title could suggest, but to worship abortion and female autonomy.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to model what it looks like for a conservative politician to push back against the cultural revolution.Last year, DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill, which bans schools from teaching children in kindergarten through third grade about gender ideology as well as other explicit sexuality-related subjects, limiting sex education overall to “age appropriate” content and mandating parental involvement. The Parental Rights in Education bill also ensured that parents be informed of anything that could impact the physical, emotional, or mental well-being of their child.

While many find it inexplicable that the FBI would be investing so much effort to monitor the activities going on in America's churches, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va) does not. "Let me remind those ignorant of history that this isn't the first time that Christians have posed a serious challenge to government authority," Kaine said. "Two thousand years ago they were active spreaders of disinformation and disloyalty toward those responsible for maintaining public order. Their chief agitator was so disruptive that it was necessary to make an example of him. But his followers were so fanatical that they remained undeterred and...

The Bud Light marketing executive whose team oversaw its disastrous partnership with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney has taken a leave of absence, according to a report on Friday. Alissa Heinerscheid was hired to overhaul Bud Light's marketing in June 2022 with the vision of freshening up its image. But that took a disastrous turn on April 1 when the partnership with Mulvaney was announced, sparking a boycott and knocking $6 billion from the company's value. Heinerscheid is being replaced by the vice president of global marketing for Budweiser, Todd Allen, according to Ad Age. DailyMail.com has approached Bud Light for...

Archaeologists have used wood taxa analysis to distinguish between imported, drift and native wood from five Norse farmsteads on Greenland.Historical records have long suggested that medieval Norse colonists on Greenland (AD 985–1450) relied on imported material such as iron and wood. Until now, it has not been fully recognized where these imports of wood came from...All sites were occupied between AD 1000 and 1400 and dated by radiocarbon dating and associated artifact types.A microscopic examination of the cellular structure of the wood previously found by archaeologists on these sites enabled the identification of tree genus or species, and the results...

LGBTQ immigrants who cross the southern border from Mexico into the United States may not be held in detention under new legislation being proposed by a group of Democratic lawmakers in both the House and Senate. The extraordinary proposals are aimed at 'setting minimum standards' for detention facilities where thousands of illegal aliens are already being kept as they await processing. The legislation, which is being introduced by Democrats Washington Representative Pramila Jayapal and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, is being framed as 'an attempt to restore humanity and dignity to the immigration system.'

Chicago's interim police chief is to retire after only month in the job - stepping down after a series of headline-grabbing crimes, on the same day as the ultra-progressive new mayor takes office but insisting that his decision was made months ago. Eric Carter, the interim superintendent, will retire on May 15 after 30 years on the force. He took over when David Brown resigned after the February 28 mayoral election. Brown turns 63 in September, which is the mandatory CPD retirement age.
