Officials in rural Texas have begun to release details about what led to a fiery explosion at a chemical plant after lifting a shelter-in-place order in the surrounding community on Wednesday. Geoff Harfield, president of the industrial blending facility Sound Resource Solutions in Shepherd, told reporters that a "forklift incident" triggered the blast, though he did not elaborate. Officials in San Jacinto County said a preliminary investigation found the ignition happened when an employee noticed a container leaking with chemicals and tried to use a forklift to lift the container. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers told reporters he was...

VIDEOThe DUmmie FUnnies CALLED IT! The DUmmie FUnnies CALLED IT! The DUmmie FUnnies CALLED IT! Yes, on the afternoon of November 8, 2023 the DUmmie FUnnies accurately CALLED IT when it stated that Vivek Ramaswamy should DEMAND that toxic grifter RNC Chairwoman resign due to pathetic incompetence. Hours later at the GOP debate of the Keebler Elves in Miami, that was EXACTLY what happened. Perhaps Vivek read my suggestion in the DUmmie FUnnies or maybe I am a latter day Nostradamus. Now back to rubbing my Jeane Dixon Crystal Ball...When Will Useless Grifter Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel be FIRED?

I know what went wrong on Election Day for the GOP- again. Can you handle the truth? Because it’s going to be brutal. And please don’t blame President Trump. I’m getting really sick of the lies and desperation. Not just by Democrats. But by assorted “Never Trumpers,” RINOS, establishment GOP, and DeSantis backers. I know- I repeat myself. ... This is about open borders. Is everyone blind? Don’t you notice millions of illegal aliens coming into America every year, for 3 years in a row? You don’t think any of them are voting? Well then I’ve got a bridge to...

The White House said on Thursday that Israel has agreed to pause military operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip for at least four hours at different times to allow for the evacuation of civilians from the conflict zone. “We understand that Israel will begin to implement four hour pauses in areas of northern Gaza each day, with an announcement to be made three hours beforehand,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said in a briefing with reporters. “We’ve been told by the Israelis that there will be no military operations in these areas over the duration of the pause,...

Former President Trump says he’d consider Tucker Carlson as a potential running mate in 2024. “I like Tucker a lot; I guess I would,” Trump said during an appearance on “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show” this week. “I think I’d say I would, because he’s got great common sense.” “You know, when they say that you guys are conservative, or I’m conservative — it’s not that we’re conservative, we have common sense. We want to have safe borders. We want to have a wall, because walls work,” he said.

Three men hanging out in a Washington garage fought off a pair of armed robbers who barged in and stuck a rifle in their faces, wild home security video shows. A series of videos shared online shows two men with hoods, masks and a rifle storming into the garage while the three victims are seated at a table drinking beers. One is wearing plaid pajamas as the other has on a bright blue hoodie. "Give me your s---!" one of the masked men demands. "Everything," the other adds. As the victims remain seated, the man with the gun smacks one...

Ten alleged mafiosos from the Gambino crime family were indicted by the feds for their alleged violent attempts to take over the Big Apple’s garbage hauling and demolition industry — which included a hammer attack that sent one worker to the hospital and a grim threat to cut a business owner in half with a knife. The defendants — who include made men and mob associates — were hit with charges including racketeering conspiracy, extortion, witness retaliation, fraud and embezzlement, according to the indictment unsealed Wednesday in Brooklyn federal court. They each face between 20 and 180 years in prison...

WASHINGTON, November 6, 2023 — As war wages on between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, a watchdog group is releasing a new report that reveals how UNRWA teachers in the enclave, funded largely by the U.S. and EU, indoctrinate Palestinian children and promote terrorism and antisemitism. Entitled “UNRWA: Hate Starts Here,” today’s report uncovers 20 UNRWA teachers and other staff members who celebrated the October 7th Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians on their social media accounts, collected by the non-governmental organization UN Watch, an independent human rights monitoring group based in Geneva. The new cases are in addition to 133...

A media watchdog went over images from the October 7 massacre published in the world's leading outlets, posing question that are both shocking and self-evident Many of the most shocking images from the October 7 come from the Palestinian terrorists who perpetrated it. And yet, quite a few of the photos published by the world's leading media outlets, including AP, CNN, The New York Times and Reuters, raised troubling questions regarding how the persons whose names appeared in the photo credits found themselves on the scene of the worst antisemitic massacre since the Holocaust.

The Israeli government is demanding answers from western media outlets including CNN, Reuters and The Associated Press over troubling images of freelance photographers they each hired which suggest they may have been embedded with Hamas on October 7th. The issue - first highlighted by Honest Reporting - concerns four freelance photographers from Gaza whose works have been published by the media outlets. Among them is Hassan Eslaiah, a photographer who has now been seen in an image with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. All three outlets deny having any prior knowledge of the Hamas attack and insist they have cut ties...

Heavy blow from Israel's armored brigade to a secret Hamas point! Raids on Hamas positions have increased significantly! Terrorists are cornered in the Gaza Strip with both land and air operations! The Israeli army took action in the direction of Beit Hanoun. Troops from Israel's 7th armored brigade launched a reconnaissance operation in the Al Karameh area. Special Israeli forces examined the area in detail and infiltrated a tunnel entrance and discovered that there was an ammunition depot further down the tunnel. An anti-tank position was seen at a point on the surface of the tunnel. This hidden attack area...

Videos showed fights between protestors outside the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance, where actress Gal Gadot organized a screening of footage of the brutal Hamas terror attack atrocities committed during the October 7 invasion of Israel. The 47-minute footage, provided by the Israeli Defence forces, was aired to a select audience of celebrities and influential personalities in Los Angeles and New York last night. About 200 people attended the screening, though Gadot was not in attendance, nor were any major Hollywood stars, according to the LA Times. That may have been due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, which only concluded yesterday....

While the world’s attention is focused on the war raging between Israel and Hamas, the military confrontation between the United States and Hezbollah is heating up. Since the Hamas attacks on 7 October and the subsequent retaliation by Israel, U.S. military bases and outposts in Syria and Iraq are facing daily attacks with rocket, missiles and mortars. I learned today from someone who regularly visits Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland that the wards are filling up with U.S. military personnel wounded in recent attacks on those bases. The White House and the Department of Defense are working actively...

A three-year drought that has left millions of people in Syria, Iraq and Iran with little water wouldn’t have happened without human-caused climate change, a new study found. The west Asian drought, which started in July 2020, is mostly because hotter-than-normal temperatures are evaporating the little rainfall that fell, according to a flash study Wednesday by a team of international climate scientists at World Weather Attribution. It’s a case of climate change unnaturally intensifying naturally dry conditions into a humanitarian crisis that has left people thirsty, hungry and displaced, concluded the research, which has not yet undergone peer review but...
