WALKER, Michigan — A woman says she felt violated after someone pointed a camera at her while in a dressing room at the Target on Alpine Avenue in Walker. The Walker Police Department has not corroborated her account with 13 ON YOUR SIDE, but she claims she gave a statement to the police about what happened. TikTok user havannaooonana, who did not want her real name publicized, says she was bringing clothes into the dressing room area when she noticed a man she had previously seen in a different section of the store. "This time, I thought he looked a...

ROME – As Pope Francis’s emissary to Ukraine closed a two-day trip to Kyiv for talks on a possible ceasefire with Russia, Ukrainian authorities voiced gratitude for the visit but insisted on following their own peace plan. From June 5-6, Italian Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna, President of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, visited the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv for the purpose, according to a Vatican statement, of holding “in-depth” listening sessions with Ukrainian authorities on “possible ways to achieve a just peace” and to support “gestures of humanity” that help ease tensions on the ground. In a June 5 tweet...

A major poll by the Democracy Institute contains bad news for the Biden regime, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and even Prince Harry. The poll does, however, contain plenty of good news for former President Donald Trump.Likely U.S. voters – 37 percent Democrats, 35 percent Republicans, and 28 percent Independents – were asked a range of questions from May 24th to May 26th, with their answers suggesting America in 2023 is “MAGA Country”. The data shows:Trump is preferred to DeSantis as the Republican nominee by 57 percent to 22 percent. None of the also-rans such as Nikki Haley or Mike Pence...

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that the U.S. should arm Ukraine until they win the war against Russia. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin has launched this vicious invasion of Ukraine killing lots of civilians. As you know, two of your opponents have given some interesting signals. Donald Trump refused to say in the town hall with Kaitlyn Collins which side he wants to win, Ukraine or Russia. He refuses to call Vladimir Putin a war criminal. Ron DeSantis calls it a territorial dispute. Are they wrong? What’s your position?

Islamic, Arab-Nazis post WW2: 1946-1970s. B'nai B'rith Messenger, 5 September 1947. Charge Arabs Foment Race Hatred Here NEW YORK — ( JPS ) — In a memorandum presented last week to the members of the UN Special Commission on Palestine meeting in Geneva, the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League charges that documentary evidence in its possession showed that the Arab League and unofficial agencies closely affiliated with it have been engaged in a deliberate effort to foment anti-Semitic and other racist disorders in the United States. The Anti-Nazi League disclosed that Congressman Adolph Sabbath's charges of connections between Arab propagandists and former:...

Illinois’s Gov. J. B. “Jumbo Burger” Pritzker signed himself a whale of a state law yesterday that went into effect IMMEDIATELY. And, immediately, restricted Illinois citizens from pursuing constitutional claims against their state government unless they filed the lawsuits in one of two, Democratic approved, state sanctioned, Democratic counties – Cook or Sangamon. Where exactly are these two designated counties (I’m sure they’re also “convenient” and “central”) located out of 102 total choices? Chicago and Springfield – known bastions of bi-partisan elections and judicial proceedings. Well…HUH. Why Sangamon, though? Springfield is the state capital and the state Supreme Court is...

Reports are circulating that federal prosecutors are about to ask a grand jury to indict former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents after leaving office. If those reports are true, and prosecutors do move against Trump, it would be the first time in American history that the government had prosecuted the leading opposition candidate. It would also destroy public faith in the rule of law and voters’ trust in democracy. The documents charges are incredibly weak, from what has been reported publicly thus far. The president has full declassification authority, and there is no formal procedure for...

No one likes getting a speeding ticket, but we suspect Finnish businessman Anders Wiklöf is smarting after getting his recent citation. The staggering fine was the equivalent of $129,400 (121,000 euros). Wiklöf was traveling 51 miles per hour (82 kilometers per hour) in a 31-mph (50-kph) zone. He told the Nya Åland newspaper that the road switched from a 44-mph (70-kph) limit down to 31 mph. He claimed he was slowing down, but not before the police caught him speeding.

Joe Scarborough should get his facts straight the next time he's tempted to accuse a Republican of being "politically depraved." Today's Morning Joe featured excerpts from Jacob Soboroff's Today show interview of Gavin Newsom, in which the California Governor floated the possibility that Ron DeSantis might be guilty of "kidnapping" for having flown migrants from New Mexico to Sacramento. Commenting on it, Scarborough said: "I also think about flying immigrants up to the Naval Observatory. A lot of them in t-shirts, and dumping them outside of the Vice President's residence on Christmas Eve, where it's freezing. Again, they think that...

After months of promising to strike a blow ostensibly to push Russia back to its original border Ukraine is on the March and, as expected, is suffering massive losses in men and materiel. And the losses are going to get worse. Russia already is claiming it killed almost 4,000 Ukrainian soldiers in a 48 hour period. The reasons for Ukraine’s impending failure are pretty simple. First, Ukraine does not have the trained manpower to muster 300,000 combat ready troops required to seriously threaten the Russians. Second, the troops that comprise the assault brigades have received different training from different countries...

CNN's Kristen Holmes reports on a new ad for former President Donald Trump claiming he is being attacked by "rabid wolves" as sources close to Trump are "bracing" for a possible indictment.

Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush, a member of the House Oversight Committee, said this week that being "anti-woke" is the same as being "anti-Black." "When you say I’m ‘anti-woke’, when you talk about wokeness, you’re saying I’m anti-black, and I don’t want black people to speak up for themselves. I don’t want equality and justice for black folks," the Missouri Democrat said during a House Oversight Committee meeting on Tuesday during a hearing on environmental, social and governance, which is also known as ESG and derided by many conservatives as a way for the left to use social credit score to...

Video at https://twitter.com/itsNTBmedia/status/1666176081404080129When it comes to woke fanaticism, the British are right there with us. That’s why an incredibly funny video has been circulating. The driver of an idling car films a very angry woman who is berating him because she cannot understand why he hasn’t turned his car off but is, instead, sitting with it running while it spews pollutants into the air. Did I mention that his car is a Tesla? The driver apparently realized instantly that he had struck comedy gold because he very peacefully let her play out her idiocy. Once she starts talking about the...

Chelsea Clinton may no longer live in the White House, but the best-selling author still has a fabulous residence to call home in New York City. The best-selling author lives in a pre-war boutique condominium located in Manhattan's NoMad neighborhood, in front of Madison Square Park, with her husband Marc Mezvinsky, and their three children, Charlotte, eight, Aidan, six, and Jasper, three. The couple tied the knot in 2010, and shortly after purchased the massive residence for $10 million. Mark and Chelsea's apartment is expansive to say the least, and has been previously described as one of the longest apartments...
