Most of the recoveries involved the collection of skeletal remains scattered by animals and scavenger birds.

On July 11, Georgia state Rep. Mesha Mainor announced that she had left the Democrat Party to become a Republican, telling social media, “I will NEVER apologize for being a black woman with a mind of my own.” Since then, the former Democrat has shared some of the utterly hate-filled racist emails sent to her by members of her former party. Trust me when I say some of these messages are very graphic and difficult to read. Instead of flying off the handle, Mainor responded in a manner that can only be described as class.

Twitter, the social media platform that has boasted free speech protections since coming under the control of Elon Musk, has suspended the account of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. In recent months, Viganò has also blasted the “blasphemous” acts of honoring the anti-Catholic Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at a major league baseball game and applauded those who gathered in prayerful protest of the LA Dodgers’ “pride night” on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Additionally, the archbishop criticized the globalist New World Order as similar to the “antichurch of Satan.”

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and House Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), two key perpetrators of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, had another conspiracy theory to peddle on Psaki’s CNN show on Sunday.

Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich reacts to Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo’s exclusive interview with Donald Trump on ‘Sunday Morning Futures.’ "The big difference is in 2017, Trump was a businessman under tremendous assault from the FBI and the New York Times and the Washington Post, learning the trade. Now, he has had enough time to think it through. I think his first year is going to be astonishing. And I think people are going to be amazed at how much he can get done; how big of a team he can assemble. And frankly barring some enormous change he is...

A dozen are in one room; five in another, set alongside his rivals and contemporaries, Gainsborough and Romney.

An ex-Donald Trump campaign manager has cashed in on Bud Light’s disastrous tie-up with Dylan Mulvaney by launching a “woke-free beer” called Ultra Right — and its latest ad is a cinematic parody that takes another jab at the embattled brew. The latest ad for the new beer, called Ultra Right, plays on the comedic action film “Smokey the Bandit,” a 1970s hit about a truck driver who transports an illegal shipment of beer across state lines. “That’s me, Conservative Dad. You’re probably wondering how I got here,” the ad starts while showing founder, chief executive and so-called “Conservative Dad”...
