The illegal alien accused of murdering five of his neighbors in Texas late last week has been apprehended after a dayslong manhunt involving hundreds of law enforcement officials. CNN reported that the alleged murderer was arrested in the small Texas town of Cut and Shoot, which has a population of just over 1,000 people — roughly 17 miles away from where the killings happened. The Daily Wire previously published the suspect’s name and photo since law enforcement had launched a manhunt searching for him. Following his arrest, the suspect’s name and photo will no longer be used because of the...

What if we asked a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence program to analyze all Americans eligible to be president and come up with the names of everyone who has the characteristics required for someone in that important job — things like character, competence, integrity and common sense. Raise your hand if you think the names “Joe Biden” or “Donald Trump” would show up in the top million names the AI program would spit out. Besides Biden, Trump and maybe members of their immediate families, I’m guessing not a lot of hands would go up. But here we are. Almost nobody wants...

As the U.S. Central Bank considers the development of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), policymakers must examine the potential negative economic impact and privacy implications that a centralized digital currency would entail. While the Federal Reserve touts CBDCs as a means to improve payment efficiency and better facilitate monetary policy, CBDCs could have a negative impact on financial stability and banking at both the micro and macroeconomic levels. The first concern facing policymakers is CBDCs’ potential to destabilize the traditional banking system. CBDCs could eventually require -- and upon establishment of their infrastructure, facilitate -- conversion of deposits in...

Re-published with the permission of Thomas Lipscomb. America’s neocon citizens with Ukrainian roots are currently trying to push Ukraine into a Spring offensive everyone knows will be a massacre just to cover their own asses, so they will have an excuse to cut and run in time for the coming Presidential election. Given the disgraceful alliance between a Federal regime risking nuclear war with no proper authority from the American people and what used to be a press, which is now little more than the government’s collaborator in suppressing the facts of what is happening, the American people have NO...

Russia has accused Ukraine of attempting to assassinate Vladimir Putin in a double drone strike on the Kremlin overnight, prompting demands from lawmakers in Moscow for the Kyiv regime 'to be destroyed'. Moscow said it had foiled the attempt and furiously decried the attack as 'a planned terrorist act and an attempt on the life of the President of the Russian Federation.' But Ukraine quickly responded to the accusation - the most dramatic Russia has levelled against Kyiv since invading its neighbour more than 14 months ago - saying it had 'nothing to do' with the alleged attack, casting doubt...

Yesterday, I expected to submit an article entitled "In business, bigger is not necessarily better" for American Thinker. The ink wasn't dry on my article before the government took bids on First Republic Bank (FRB). JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the U.S., was the winner. The biggest gets bigger. What? Does the Fed have the legal right to put a distressed bank on the market and effectively sell it to the highest bidder? In doing this, isn't the Fed playing favorites with the bank leadership that created the problem in the first place? Have FRB bank leaders been selling...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

The GOP Has a Gen Z ProblemWould you vote for a candidate that constantly mocks and demeans you? Of course you wouldn’t. Why would young voters choose a party they believe is out of touch and holds them in contempt?There’s no way to sugarcoat it. The Republican Party has performed abysmally with young voters in recent elections. This cannot continue to be swept under the rug for much longer if the Stupid Party wants to avoid extinction.Some figures should terrify everyone who doesn’t support a full-blown Marxist takeover of our failing country.In the 2022 Midterms, a whopping 77 percent of...

This article is not financial advice and is for informational purposes only. All financial decisions and investments should be made based on your personal objectives, risk profile, and other factors. After my appearances with Glenn Beck, I often receive hundreds of emails asking a variety of financial questions (and I try my best to get at least some of them answered)! The top question I have been receiving recently underscores a huge fear: the safety and preservation of your hard-earned dollars. More than any question, what people are asking of late is, “Should I pull my money from the bank?”...

According to the May 2 New York Times, on the last day of her testimony in her civil suit against Donald J. Trump alleging rape, E. Jean Carroll insisted that she was fired as advice columnist for Elle because President Trump called her a liar, not because she gave an excerpt of her book to rival New York magazine. This question immediately came to mind: would a New York City-based editor dismiss a columnist because Trump called her a liar? That question was answered by this follow-up question: In media circles, isn't criticism from Pres. Trump considered a badge of...

Former Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan revealed Tuesday that he’s not interested in running for Senate in 2024, despite being viewed by many as a leading contender for the seat being vacated by Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin.

Former President Trump reportedly grabbed a reporter’s phone and tried to have him removed from a plane after being asked questions about the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation into the former president.
