A maintenance man was shot during an attempted robbery and fought back against the gunman, resulting in the suspect being shot with his own gun, in Waukegan Tuesday. The Waukegan Police Department and Waukegan Fire Department responded around 10:45 a.m. Tuesday to Beechwood at the Preserve Apartments in the 3000 block of 8th Street for a report of a shooting. Officers arrived and learned two people had sustained gunshot wounds. A 17-year-old boy was found in an apartment with a gunshot wound to his thigh, according to a police report. An officer applied a tourniquet to the boy’s leg before...

New York school children have complained they are being forced to walk past 'Venezuelan prostitutes' in broad daylight, with their neighborhood likened to a Bangkok 'red-light district'. High schoolers told how they encounter sex workers 'virtually on every block' of the route along the Jackson Heights-Corona border. Jalene Lugo, 14, said she passed several provocatively dressed women in a doorway on 93rd Street earlier this week and not for the first time.

Many Americans have been led to believe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a conflict over land when it is a religious conflict rooted in Quranic doctrine; a doctrine consumed with Jew hatred throughout its numerous passages. The formation of Islam began with Mohammad in 610 A.D. in the city of Mecca where he attempted to convince the local pagan population he was sent by God to be his messenger. SNIP Mohammed’s attempts to mollify the Medina Jews resulted in a series of conciliatory passages that contradict the vast majority of Quranic references to Jews: “O children of Israel! call to mind...

Police officers across the UK are bracing for a pro-Palestine 'Day of Action' today with 40 marches planned across the country in the wake of a banned protest at King's Cross last night which saw five people arrested. Last week more than 100,000 people showed up to march in London, and a police officer was rushed to hospital after one attendee hit them across the head with a megaphone. Tens of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets in major cities again today, and the Met Police have put in place measures to prevent demonstrators gathering outside...

@DVATW Mark Steyn has been a brave and courageous voice for many years. He has suffered several cardiac incidents since taking the jabs and appears to be white in the hair and confined to a wheelchair. This is very sad to see and I hope he can recover.

"By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, "By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left." "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" ☰ Matthew 17 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and...

During World War II, energy and mineral production was critical to the war effort and Australia was able to produce it. Now that Australia is going green, will that vital resource still be available? As net zero strangles Australian industry, Australia is becoming green, powerless, and defenseless. History holds lessons which we ignore at our peril. Here is some of it. Japan was opened to trade with the U.S. in the 1850s. The Japanese were daunted by the naval power of Britain and the U.S. but determined to catch up. In the 1930s, Japan attacked China, Mussolini attacked Ethiopia, and...

Rishi Sunak has warned that the Cenotaph and other memorials are at risk of being "desecrated".Police are expected to launch a large-scale operation to crack down on protests surrounding Remembrance Sunday. Rishi Sunak has warned that the Cenotaph, along with other war memorials, could be "desecrated" if protests are able to go ahead unchecked. Tens of thousands of demonstrators are planning to take to the streets to call for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East on Armistice Day on Saturday, November 11, as well as Remembrance Sunday on November 12. Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mr Sunak...

A Las Vegas sex worker beat an elderly man with limited mobility and robbed him of thousands of dollars in his hotel room, according to police.

If leftists have their way, the 2024 presidential election will be decided in courtrooms by liberal judges — not by Americans at ballot boxes across the country. With President Biden’s poll numbers at all-time lows and public polling showing former President Trump consistently leading in 2024, Democrats are scrambling not to win the support of voters but to simply disqualify their opponent through Democrat operatives, attorneys, and judges.This strategy is especially rich coming from the “democracy is on the ballot” crowd. Apparently, “democracy is on the ballot” means only Joe Biden is on the ballot.

The Hamas October 7 attack on Israel has created a difficult political conundrum for President Biden's reelection chances. On the one hand, this barbaric attack targeting mostly civilians calls for a strong response against the perpetrators. Initially, he strongly condemned Hamas as evil and pledged to extend military aid to Israel. More recently, Michigan Democrats are warning that the President could see Muslim voters turn against him if he cannot prevail upon Israel to cease its military operations against Hamas. Michigan State Rep. Abraham Aiyash (D-Hamtramck), pointed out that "a majority of Muslim voters agree that Hamas was justified in...

“We’re seeing a disturbing continued trend of cardiac arrests in people who have taken the vaccine,” reported world-renowned cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough Friday. “Now we have data from Nakahara in a human cardiac PET study showing that positron emission tomography scans of the heart change in almost everybody who took the shot, at least for six months or longer, where the heart’s metabolism changes.”

A senior White House official said on Saturday in a press briefing that the evacuation of the wounded and foreign citizens from Gaza was delayed because Hamas had tried to take some of its wounded fighters through the Rafah crossing to Egypt for treatment, Hebrew media sourced the official as saying. "A third of the people who were on the list that Hamas submitted turned out to be Hamas fighters," said the official.

This is not a political disagreement. It is evil incarnate. Evil must be recognized for what it is and eradicated. Every leader, soldier, and financial supporter of Hamas should be identified, hunted down, and executed. Every apologist and sympathizer for Hamas should be ashamed, publicly denounced, and removed from any position of government power and influence. This is what is right. It is what is just and necessary to protect the citizens of Israel, both Jews and Arabs.Two people groups are at war in the Middle East. The conflict is longstanding and complicated by multiple generations, and centuries, of political,...

Many viewers of the footage have reacted with fury at the male player's presence on the field, due to the unfair physical advantage he holds after going through puberty. In the footage, a female player from Dighton-Rehoboth passed the ball to their male teammate, who controlled it before releasing a vicious shot. The ball immediately struck an opponent across the face, leaving her with grisly facial injuries, including losing two teeth, that sent her to the hospital. Her condition is unclear. Shocked teammates could be seen leaning their hands on their knees and comforting each other after witnessing the grisly...

Join with fellow FREEPERS across the world to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Agri-Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, Technology, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the...

The thing I love about the way the late Canadian-born Robbie Robertson played guitar is the way that he could pluck one note out of the universe and let it sit there like an image of God. From "Who Do You Love" through "Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat" and "This Wheel’s On Fire" to one of my personal favourites in "Ophelia", the man never wasted a note. And he wrote glorious songs. Such music is a wonderful medicine for much modern American social malaise (which is a state of robust health compared to some of Trudeau’s Canadian crap). Robertson himself said...
