A Texas mom was caught in harrowing video using her 14-year-old daughter as a “human shield” after a high-speed police chase — and even shouting at cops to “shoot” them, according to officials. Houston-area police initially thought theft suspect Tenescha Selena Henry, 35, was holding a crying hostage in a chokehold during the July 20 standoff and were shocked that the girl was actually her daughter. “At that point, I 100% believed that we had a hostage situation,” Deputy A. Peters told KTRK. “I distinctly remember her at times saying, ‘Shoot! Shoot me! Shoot us!'” the deputy said of the...

Data from the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization released on Thursday indicates that July 2023 will go down as the hottest month ever recorded in human history. The U.N. said July has already had the hottest three-week period ever recorded, the three hottest days on record, and the highest-ever sea-surface temperatures for this time of year. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said the data makes it clear that human-driven climate change is to blame for the spike.

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) says he was recently shown evidence of unidentified anomalous phenomena by military personnel that included a UAP image he was “not able to attach to any human capability.” Gaetz revealed details about the incident during a widely viewed Congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena Wednesday morning. [...] Gaetz was reportedly shown the image several months ago during a visit to Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, where he was accompanied by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL). [...] During the hearing, Gaetz said his office received a protected disclosure of a UAP off...

The Biden Regime played a “vital” role in the attack on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea which killed a couple and injured their child, investigative reported Seymour Hersh revealed. Joe Biden’s support of Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky “can only come from Zelensky’s knowledge of Biden”, and “because he was taking care of Biden’s son,” Hersh writes.The attack on the Kerch Bridge linking Crimea to Russia 7/17 with a pair of submersible drones killed a Russian civilian couple who were driving across, and injured their child. It was the second attack on the bridge and was followed by Russia suspending the...

A Covid variant seen in Indonesia might be the most mutated version of the virus ever recorded, scientists think. The morphed version of Delta — collected from a patient swab in Jakarta — has 113 unique mutations. Thirty-seven of the alterations affect the spike protein, which the coronavirus uses to latch onto humans.

It must have been extremely difficult to see that well camouflaged red and white pole which was driving recklessly towards the helicopter in the thick fog and the intense snow storm.

Why would a COVID lab run by a shady Chinese company be operating in Reedly, CA in the central San Joaquin Valley? The lab, which was supposed to be an empty building, was discovered by Reedly city code enforcement officers when they saw a garden hose attached to the building and investigated.

We have this never-ending debate in America and especially in Washington DC about what works – left or right, liberalism or conservatism, capitalism or socialism. Well, there’s no need to debate anymore. The answer is in. We won! Yes, the debate is over. The stats are in from a hundred directions. “The Great American Divorce” I’ve predicted for almost 20 years is happening. And the more Democrats talk, the more Americans choose to run for their lives. Almost everyone is leaving with daddy! Because mommy is a vicious, overbearing, liberal, Democrat control freak. Americans are voting with their feet. And...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) added three charges to the prosecution against President Joe Biden’s main political opponent, one day after the DOJ’s sweetheart plea deal with the president’s son was exposed in court.While critics of former President Donald Trump celebrated, the juxtaposition of these two events is certain to lend weight and urgency to the charge that the DOJ is rife with political bias and continues to be weaponized.As Breitbart News reported, the plea bargain that DOJ prosecutors reached with Hunter Biden’s lawyers fell apart on Wednesday after Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned its terms. Specifically, she queried a clause...

A Chicago man has been arrested in connection to the stabbing death of an HVAC worker — and authorities fear he could be responsible for other crimes after they uncovered a teen girl’s remains in his fridge. Brandon Sanders, 33, was arrested on June 29 in connection with the grisly May 12 killing of 69-year-old HVAC contractor Rasim Katanic in the West Ridge neighborhood, Chicago police records show. When police searched the suspect’s apartment, they also discovered the body of Iman Al-Sarraj, 18, in his refrigerator, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

When will shareholders ask Ford to choose between Klaus Schwab and their money? No one except the state wants them. And who cares what consumers or shareholders want? Not Ford. Back in March, I wrote that, “Ford reported that it’s going to lose $3 billion on electric cars in 2023. Unlike most automakers, Ford reports its electric vehicle numbers separately, but experts estimate that most car companies are losing similar amounts on the dead end business.” “Ford plans to make 2 million electric cars every year by 2025. That would be impressive considering that Ford only sold 61,575 of them...

As many as 15 people have been injured in two explosions that damaged a residential building and left a crater in a central square in the Russian city of Taganrog on Friday. Windows shattered, and the building was nearly reduced to rubble. A column of smoke now rises over the city, which is near the Ukrainian border. Claims of people trapped under the debris have been circulating, but that is yet unconfirmed. Disturbing videos show passersby running around in a panic, trying to find loved ones or avoid more falling debris.

I think this is the best campaign ad of all time. I doubt that many people will see it however.

“Hunter Biden’s former best friend and business partner who is set to give Congress bombshell evidence against the Biden family is now ‘in hiding’ after receiving ‘threats’,” a source told the British Daily Mail. Hunter’s Yale buddy and John Kerry’s former campaign manager Archer has been “forced to flee both his Long Island and Brooklyn homes, he told friends – but still plans to testify to the House Oversight Committee on Monday. “ “There were reports that he was canceling his appearance. They’re not true, he’s not canceling. But he has gotten threats, and he’s concerned about the threats,” the...

Hunter Biden remains a “good standing” member of the D.C. Bar’s association, despite evidence of illicit activities and court proceedings, according to the bar’s website. During Wednesday’s court proceedings, Hunter Biden told the judge he was licensed to practice law in Washington, DC, and Connecticut. In February, the D.C. Bar told Breitbart News that Hunter is “not a member of the D.C. Bar.” The bar’s statement was consistent with the Associated Press’s reporting from 2014 in which it claimed the “Current District of Columbia bar records do not show Biden as member.” However, Hunter’s D.C. Bar license says he was...

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...
