Joe is screwed. He is boxed in on Israel by Congress and his donors. The Left is already in open rebellion over Israel / Palestine. The clips and images of dead Palestinian civilians have set the whole Muslim world on fire. The war in Gaza could easily spiral into a regional conflict that sucks in American troops. Trump is now clobbering Joe in the swing states in the NY Times poll. New York Times: President Biden is trailing Donald J. Trump in five of the six most important battleground states one year before the 2024 election, suffering from enormous doubts...

BREAKING: The judge presiding over Trump's NYC trial appears to have a peculiar hobby of posting half-naked photos of himself on a high school alumni newsletter he controls as reported on by @MarcoPolo501c3 . The 74-year-old judge Arthur Engoron appeared to even post a "Bonus-Torso-Photo" in what looks like the bathroom of a gym. One set of images seems to be progress pictures. One picture of a frailer, malnourished male (assumed to be Judge Engoron) is labeled October 2020. Another picture, labeled August 2021, shows the same body, flexing excessively to try and show off his muscle gains.

18GB of RAM in a smartphone? It's no secret that modern Android phones often pack unnecessary specs - I'm looking at you, 108MP cameras and 4K screens - and the new Nubia Red Magic 7 Pro brings some more. This is a new gaming phone from a company that's made quite a few at this point (hence the '7' in the name), so you'd think it'd know exactly what gamers need. Well, what they apparently need is more RAM than your average gaming PC. That's right, the newly-unveiled Red Magic 7 Pro comes in a few configurations, and they top...

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. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles 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 a vehicle is captured and then...

The site is located a few miles away from Stirling’s city center, next to the Old Stirling Bridge.It has been described as the most important road in Scottish history, the cobbled road was built by the Roman armies of General Julius Agricola in the 1st century AD and would have connected to a ford that crossed the River Forth.The road and the crossing would have been used again by the Romans in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD as units launched fresh invasions of Scotland...

Starbucks has a message for its 8,000 unionized employees, not-so-tacitly delivered: "Sucks to be U!" The Seattle-based brewer of burnt coffee and coffee-based sugar-delivery systems reported a stellar quarter last week that sent SBUX shares soaring from $91.01 on Wednesday to Monday's closing price of just over $104. Net sales were up over this time last year by 11.4% and revenues beat Wall Street expectations, $9.37 billion to $9.29 billion. Not only were more customers showing up at the chain's existing stores, but they were also spending more per ticket. Wall Street loves news like that — and Starbucks retail...

[Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis’ ‘synodal process’ is opening the gates of unrestrained heterodoxyMore heterodox members of the synod have granted a plethora of interviews in which they have repeated their calls for pro-LGBT actions on the part of the Church and the implementation of female deacons.Following the conclusion of the October 2023 session of the Synod on Synodality, the dominant emerging theme is one of implicit papal approbation of heterodox members pushing for a revolution in Church teaching. The Synod on Synodality concluded its first month-long session at the end of October, with participants set to return to the Vatican...

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) targets both major parties on foreign policy in a new ad amid rumors he could mount a third-party White House bid. “Our allies question whether they should still trust us, and our enemies question whether they should still fear us,” the former governor says in one clip in the ad, posted by Hogan’s PAC, An America United. The video takes aim at Republicans who want to pull back on funding for Ukraine amid Kyiv’s war with Russia, and knocks progressives who are against U.S. support for Israel after Hamas attacked last month. Hogan is...

For Donald J. Trump, a new set of New York Times/Siena College polls captures a stunning, seemingly contradictory picture. His 91 felony charges in four different jurisdictions have not significantly hurt him among voters in battleground states. Yet he remains weaker than at least one of his Republican rivals, and if he’s convicted and sentenced in any of his cases, some voters appear ready to turn on him — to the point where he could lose the 2024 election. Snip---------------- If the former president is convicted and sentenced — as many of his allies expect him to be in the...

Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Brendan Carr is calling the Biden administration's "digital equity" plan for all internet services and infrastructure an "unlawful power grab." Biden’s plan hands the Administrative State effective control of all Internet services and infrastructure in the country. Never before, in the roughly 40-year history of the public Internet, has the FCC (or any federal agency for that matter) claimed this degree of control over it. Indeed, Biden’s plan calls for the FCC to apply a far-reaching set of government controls that the agency has not applied to any technology in the modern era, including Title II...

Two Washington, D.C., men face felony charges in connection with crashing a stolen vehicle this past weekend into a Capitol Hill complex barricade, after which police allegedly found a cache of ammunition and weapons including a device to convert a Glock into a machine gun-like pistol. Those arrested have been identified as Ricardo Glass and Onosetale Okojie, both 20.

Yesterday, we reported that someone had released the manifesto of the transgender Nashville school shooter who killed six innocent people earlier this year. Audrey Hale, a woman who identified as a transgender man, who previously attended The Covenant School in Nashville, a private Christian school, was shot and killed by police officers during her deranged shooting spree. Brent Leatherwood, the president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) also has children enrolled in the school.

The combustible atmosphere in the civil trial of former President Donald Trump on allegations of fraud turned into open fireworks Monday in a New York courtroom as Trump took the stand. Legal analyst Lisa Rubin posted on X one snippet of the sniping that took place as Judge Arthur Engoron vented to Trump defense attorney Chris Kise his displeasure with the 2024 presidential candidate’s answers on the stand. “Mr. Kise, can you control your client? This is not a political rally … Maybe you should have a talk with him right now,” Rubin quoted Engoron as saying. Kise instead said...

ATLANTA -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday continued to sound the alarm about a spike in syphilis cases among newborns. Congenital syphilis is caused by a pregnant woman with syphilis passing the infection to their unborn child. CDC officials said that new data shows that 10-times more babies were born with syphilis in 2022 than in 2012. "New actions are needed to prevent more family tragedies," CDC Chief Medical Officer Debra Houry said. "We’re calling on healthcare providers, public health systems, and communities to take additional steps to connect mothers and babies with the care they...

Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis, a self-styled enemy of woke culture and politics, gave a women’s community spirit award to a transgender activist for the biological man’s contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the Sunshine State last year, lauding the man’s “shining example of a positive role model,” and referring to him as “Ms.”.Ashley Brundage, a former vice president of DEI in the financial industry and board member of the LGBT advocacy group GLAAD, who claims to have “worked tirelessly to promote awareness and acceptance of gender identity and expression,” received a letter from the Florida Governor after...

A former employee of the police department of Gainesville, Florida (GPD), was recently found guilty of having a sexual affair with a subordinate in violation of department policy, which he attempted to cover up by pressuring her to have an abortion. According to the Alachua Chronicle, Caleb Young, a civilian program coordinator of community relations at the GPD, was using his position as the woman’s superior to threaten her employment if she didn’t get an abortion. Young, a married man with at least one child, was also charged earlier in October of 2023 with assault and battery of a police...

it was supposed to be released by Nashville authorities until the Feebs stole it and declared: U.S. Code exempts from disclosure “records or information compiled for law enforcement records or information… could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings…” Of course, this is a typical FBI lie since the offender is dead and there will be no legal proceedings. The feebs had to keep it secret so that the "Department of Justice Propaganda" could leak their "interpretation" of events: this was a white supremacist shooting this was an angry trans "person" furious about a law passed by the Tennessee...

Ron DeSantis in their home state primary by nearly 40 points, according to a Tuesday poll.Trump is beating DeSantis 60% to 21% among a crowded Republican primary field in Florida’s primary, according to a University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Lab survey.
