Prototypes of the 2025 Lincoln Navigator have been circulating for several months, but this is the first time we've seen one wearing less-modest camouflage, showing off elements of its new body and trim for the first time. Lincoln's big family hauler has been around long enough — since 2018, in fact — that it's due for a redesign. It was updated in 2022, when it gained BlueCruise (then called Lincoln ActiveGlide, a name the brand has since left behind) and lost a little horsepower. From what we can see here, the 2025 Navigator will retain most of its core styling....

CLAIM: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said more Floridians have moved to California in the past two years than vice versa. VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. The raw numbers favor Florida. Newsom is relying on a “per capita” migration rate. Newsom debated Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on the Fox News Channel in a much-anticipated matchup. Host Sean Hannity asked the governors to explain why there is net migration from “blue” Democratic states to “red” Republican states. Newsom then claimed that over the past two years, there has been net migration from Florida to California. DeSantis seemed rather stunned.

If you clicked on this article expecting it to be some kind of satire, sadly, you’re mistaken. This is all too real. Glenn Beck invites former federal air marshal Sonya Hightower-LaBosco to discuss this utterly absurd situation. If you weren’t already aware, our Department of Homeland Security has ordered federal air marshals to closely monitor people affiliated with January 6, and apparently that includes a 2-month-old baby who wasn’t even conceived at the time the J6 events took place. “You have to tell me if this is true: did we actually use the air marshals to track a 4-week-old baby?”...

Lawmakers on the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees are fighting over how to rewrite rules for the government’s chief spying tool before it expires at year’s end. The House Judiciary Committee insists that Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows the government to scoop communications from a wide range of non-American targets abroad, must be fundamentally rewritten to stop a history of abuses that snared Americans. But the intelligence committee says a total rewrite would undermine the value of the program, which the national security community says is the backbone of U.S. efforts to constrain China, stop...

WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov. 30. Army officers from Bealton Station to-night report that heavy cannonading was heard since early this morning in the direction of Orange Court-house. The firing was so heavy and continuous as to preclude the possibility of its being a skirmish. It was their opinion a general engagement was in progress at the time they last heard the firing, which was at 11 o'clock this forenoon. One division of our army occupies Fredericksburgh. LEE's whole force is intrenched between Orange Court-house and Gordonsville. Supplies have been dispatched to MEADE by a new route. The weather is frightfully cold,...

Ex-Gambino underboss Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano sounds off on 'Jesse Watters Primetime' as first family scrutiny mounts.

Joe Biden is actively working to suppress or eliminate Americans' First Amendment rights. Government agencies have been weaponized to assist. The cadre of agencies has become known as the Censorship Industrial Complex. Today we got another look into those who would take everything from us. The Department of Homeland Security is looking to not only pry your First Amendment rights from you, but to change the outcome of elections. Now, newly released Department of Homeland Security (DHS) emails, obtained by the House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green and Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability Chairman Dan Bishop, suggest...

On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Sen. Angus King (I-ME) said that gun control legislation he introduced is a new approach to “assault weapons” because it says “that a gun that operated as these weapons do, as any rifle does, cannot have a detachable magazine, and must have an internal magazine with no more than 10 bullets.” And “To me, this is purely consistent with banning machine guns 100 years ago or sawed-off shotguns. These are particularly dangerous, useful only for killing people, and we want to diminish that lethality.”

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has just been endorsed by… Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post. Gasp. That is an endorsement that is not only unwanted by Republicans, but feared. When you look up RINO afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome in the dictionary, Jennifer Rubin’s photo should be featured. Anyone who has followed her insane ramblings over the last several years knows this.

A leading Democrat, the new mayor of Chicago, is claiming that Republicans in America still refuse "to accept the results of the Civil War." It is Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson who recently unleashed a rant about "right-wing extremists." They are the ones, he charged, that are responsible for the huge problems facing the Democrat-run city. And specifically, "It's the same Republican right-wing extremism that stormed the Capitol, it's the same right-wing extremism that refuses to accept the results of the Civil War. It's raggedy. It's disrespectful. It's mean-spirited," he charged. Actually, History.com reports the GOP was founded in 1854 as...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said defences must be quickly beefed up across the front line, after meeting commanders in some of the main pressure points in the south and east. "In all major sectors where reinforcement is needed, [we must] speed up building of structures," he said in his nightly address. Russian forces are trying to encircle the eastern town of Avdiivka. And they are targeting the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. With temperatures falling below freezing and Ukraine cloaked with snow, President Zelensky has said "winter as a whole is a new phase of war".

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traded barbs with the leader of the Conservative Party on Wednesday, branding the opposition climate change deniers who are 'putting future white Christmases at risk.' The spirited exchange prompted laughter from both sides of the House of Commons during question period on Wednesday, where the two politicians laid out their opposing views on climate policy. Pierre Poilievre, the Tory leader who hopes to replace Trudeau in the next elections, fired a holiday salvo at the Liberal PM, saying that all he had to offer Canadians for Christmas was a 'carbon tax lump of coal.' 'I'm...

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...

Yisrael Beytenu leader MK Avigdor Liberman commented on the continued hostilities in Gaza and declared that the Oslo Accords could be considered defunct. "The 30-year-long Oslo experiment, in which we paid a heavy price in human lives, has come to its end," he wrote. "The recent events have proved beyond all doubt that a serial Holocaust denier, and someone who refused to denounce the October 7th massacre with even a single word, neither can nor should rule in Judea and Samaria, or the Gaza Strip." "We must say the truth: Two states for two peoples, a Palestinian nation, and giving...

Riots that followed a mass stabbing of young children in Dublin should be met with a “good, honest, decent beating”, an Irish senator stormed in “frank” remarks.Now a week since the stabbing of three children and their teacher that sparked anti-immigration riots in Dublin, Ireland, and the dark mutterings of retribution — against the rioters, that is, not the knifeman — with a Senator speaking of those involved needing a beating. The remarks came within hours of another Irish politician hitting the headlines over claims he’d said he wanted to see the anti-migration rioters beaten to death.(snip)Speaking of how the...

Office of Public Affairs The Justice Department announced today that Allegheny County, Pennsylvania has agreed to offer treatment with any Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medication for opioid use disorder (OUD) to all individuals booked into the Allegheny County Jail (ACJ) for whom such treatment is medically appropriate. Allegheny County will also pay $10,000 to an individual allegedly denied access to methadone in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
