Meanwhile in the Democrat hellhole of California… Another fire broke out underneath a Los Angeles freeway just days after the 10 freeway was closed down indefinitely due to a massive fire. A fire broke out underneath the 105 and 110 freeway interchange in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning. The blaze spread from a homeless encampment, according to reports. “From what we’re seeing here from Sky5, it would appear that it is some sort of encampment that is burning under the overpass,” KTLA 5’s Rich Prickett said. “For right now it’s contained in that one little area.”

On the 22nd and 23rd of Tishrei, 5784 according to the Jewish calendar, corresponding this year to October 7 and October 8, 2023 CE on the secular calendar, Jews around the world were celebrating the holiday of Simchat Torah, marking the annual completion of the reading of the Torah (The first part of the "Bible" in English) while starting again from the beginning. In Israel itself, thousands of mostly young Israeli Jews, along with some Christians and Muslims and others from around the world, were joyously attending a music festival in the southern part of the tiny country when Total...

Muy Macho Joe Scarborough thinks he is one tough hombre. And Scarborough's manly uber-manliness isn't confined to the serene byways of 30 Rock. To the contrary, Scarborough's machismo extends, quite literally, to the halls of the Capitol! As we noted last year, Scarborough fantasized about beating up a Capitol tourist taking photos somewhere Joe didn't like, making him "eat his camera." Tough stuff! The kind of thing Scarborough no doubt learned while summering on the hardscrabble streets of Nantucket. So it was paradoxical, to say the least, to find Scarborough clutching his pearls this morning over others engaging in tough...

On October 17, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), students taking a communications class were told:“The majority of Palestinians are children. They are seen as legitimate targets of violence.”“Israel and the United States do not give a shit about international law or war crimes.”“White nationalists like Richard Spencer see Israel as a model to be emulated.”“The attack by Hamas was not senseless, there is context.”These are just some of the things that professor E. Chebrolu said during a class titled, “Rhetoric and Public Issues” (COMM 170).Chebrolu told students, “What has been happening in Gaza and the...

The Senate Rules Committee advanced a resolution that could allow the consideration of 350 nonpolitical military promotions at one time, bypassing Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) blockade of nominees in protest of the Pentagon's abortion policy. The vote was 9 to 7, with all Democrats voting to advance the proposal and all Republicans voting against it. One Republican voting via proxy was not counted in the final breakdown. The plan would allow senators to change procedure temporarily without making a permanent rule change and could allow most of the stalled promotions to be considered on the floor in large batches. Major...

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...

Hunter Biden requested on Wednesday to subpoena former President Trump and three senior officials who served in his administration’s Justice Department, seeking evidence that Biden’s criminal prosecution is politically motivated. Biden, who faces three federal gun charges, is demanding Trump and former Attorney General Bill Barr turn over communications and documents concerning the president’s son or his criminal investigation. The demands for documents, which must be approved by a judge, also extend to former Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue and former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen.

The media in America is destructive, inhumane, utterly immoral, and has no conscience as a group whatsoever, and they are tearing this country apart through their lies and projection. Donald Trump has been the greatest friend Israel and the Jewish people have ever had in the Oval Office, and the only president to have a Jewish family, but to people who don’t like him, he is Hitler. Democrat media outlets like Media Matters and people like Joe Scarborough make a mockery of the Holocaust by calling their political opponents Hitler as they do to Donald Trump, while they repeat Hamas...

A family in Philadelphia experienced a terrifying ordeal when they were tied up and assaulted during an armed home invasion that was captured on video, Fox News reported Tuesday. The incident occurred just after 10:00 a.m. on Nov. 6 in the city’s East Oak Lane neighborhood, Philadelphia police said, according to Fox. The victim, who operates a business from his home, was outside with an employee when four masked suspects, described as Hispanic males, approached after exiting a black Acura, the outlet reported. The suspects then allegedly held the victim and employee at gunpoint and forced the pair back inside...

Firstly, I want to start with a disclaimer. This is a short piece. But this topic could easily be the subject of a long essay or even a book, so I’ll just concentrate on what I think are some key points. Western culture is often seen as arising with the ancient Greeks, with Socrates, Plato and the others who gave us philosophy, geometry and democracy. Move forward and we reach the end of paganism and the beginning of organised religion. Christianity gave us original sin. This concept didn’t come from Jesus, although some Christians believe it originated in the Garden...

Target’s sales slumped last quarter and the retail giant is predicting a slow holiday shopping season. Target’s sales tumbled 4.9% — the second quarter in a row sales have dropped. And the company forecast a weak holiday, as customers continue to forgo discretionary purchases like furniture, electronics and some clothing. Target expects sales to decline by mid-single digits this holiday season. Shoppers have become more cautious in the face of inflation, higher interest rates and the resumption of student loan repayments. Consumers aren’t spending on home improvement projects the way they were during the pandemic, Home Depot said Tuesday. Retail...

Former President Donald Trump will remain on Michigan's ballot for the state's 2024 presidential primary, a judge ruled on Tuesday. Trump's opponents have argued in multiple states that the former president is ineligible for office under the 14th Amendment. They state that Trump's actions surrounding the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol constituted insurrection against the U.S. Michigan Court of Claims Judge James Redford rejected that argument, however. "The judicial action of removing a candidate from the presidential ballot and prohibiting them from running essentially strips Congress of its ability to ‘by a vote of two-thirds of each House,...

The diverse English city of Bradford has announced that for the Christmas season, it will raise a “multi-faith festive tree” in the latest assault on Christianity, or at least the cultural vestiges of it, in Britain. The West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce’s Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Business Committee said this week that City Hall will see a “multi-faith” evergreen erected in front of it during Christmas to celebrate the multicultural nature of the city, with over a third of its population being from minority backgrounds per the latest census.

Over 2,000 sociologists (and climbing), from some of the world’s most prestigious universities, have proudly signed a letter of support for Gaza after the October 7 attack on Israel. They accuse Israel, not the Palestinians nor their Hamas gunmen, of genocide. Their letter states:We are witnessing internationally supported genocide. This latest siege comes as a continuation and escalation of the daily violence Palestinians faced for decades from Israeli colonization; an apartheid regime whose occupation is in clear violation of international law, but persists with the support of powerful governments globally.Perhaps these students of other societies should read up a bit...

The Biden administration keeps talking about the urgent need for Israel to have a post-war plan for Gaza. What that really means is that it wants the PLO to take over Gaza. Netanyahu has opposed that for now. The Palestinian Authority is run by Fatah, the body behind the PLO, and is just another Islamic terrorist group. And parts of it claimed to have taken part in the Oct 7 massacres. But none of that is stopping the Biden administration from its obsession.The thinking is that if the Palestinian Authority takes over Gaza, it can force negotiations on a Two-State...

Hannah Lovaglio's first son entered the world a month early. Nurses bustled in and out of the hospital room during his first days of life and frequently pricked his heel to check his blood, Lovaglio recalled. "I just trusted and assumed that everyone had my best interest in mind and my child's best interest in mind," she said. "So I didn't question much." Unbeknownst to the new mother, New Jersey secretly stores newborn "bloodspots" for up to 23 years and has in some cases turned samples over to police, open records inquiries found

An Alabama prisoner who was allegedly killed after he was raped and tortured by another inmate leaves behind his fiancée, Amber Williams, and an infant daughter. Daniel Williams, 22, had been serving a 12-month prison sentence for second-degree theft at Staton Correctional Facility in Elmore, Alabama, when a warden found him unresponsive in his cell on October 22. After the prison initially said that Williams suffered a 'drug overdose,' his family was informed by a nurse that Williams had been 'kidnapped, bound, assaulted and sold out' by another inmate for 'two or three days.'
