A woman wanted in connection with several brutal, gang-related murders in Mexico was recently arrested inside the United States. On February 15, the combined efforts of the FBI Safe Streets Gang Task Force, the El Paso Police Gang Unit, County Sheriff's Narcotics Division, and Border Patrol resulted in victory when agents arrested Mexican fugitive Michelle Angelica Pineda, sometimes referred to as La Chely, in a motel in eastern El Paso, Texas. American and Mexican law enforcement officials believe that Pineda, a Mexican national, crossed the U.S. border illegally as part of a drug-trafficking ring perpetrated by the violent street gang...

During the closing monologue of Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that while “inflation persists for a lot of things,” “Biden’s ratings are in the toilet, not because he’s doing such a bad job, but because a lot of Americans like to live with their head in the toilet” of poor perceptions about mental health. Maher began by saying, “[N]ew rule: Being obsessed with your mental health is bad for your mental health.” He continued, “I’ve been thinking a lot lately about a puzzle many are struggling with, why are Biden’s approval ratings so low when...

Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see. 3038 Mar 12, 2019 2:55:14 PM EDTQ !!mG7VJxZNCI ID: 4fe510 No. 5643022>Decide for yourself (be free from outside opinion).>Decide for yourself (be objective in your conclusions).>Decide for yourself (be true in your own beliefs).>Decide for yourself (be open to following the facts).>Decide for yourself (be strong in defending your beliefs).>Decide for yourself (be resistant to...

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas responded to questions on whether President Joe Biden will take executive action on the border to combat the surge at the border that is taking up resources by saying that “Executive actions in the past have been challenged in the court[s], and executive actions without the accompanying resources will not meet the moment.” And “We are always considering what we as an administration can do in the shadow of Congress’ failure to act, but we continue to believe that Congress must and can act. We must have them deliver the...

I am just asking. How hard Is it to move a U.S. District Court from one location to another? It seems to me that at certain Federal District Courts democrats usually get a jury of their peers but republicans almost usually do not. A conservative president can appoint as many conservative judges as he is able, but if the jury pool is decidedly one-party then justice is never served. As long as these courts are centered in major cities that are about as blue as they can get, justice will always be weighed for one side over another simply for...

Victor Davis Hanson interviews the former Navy SEAL and conservative congressman about his life, private business, and campaign to become Montana's next senator.

Scotch tape was invented in 1930 by banjo-playing 3M engineer Richard Drew. Scotch tape was the world's first transparent adhesive tape. Drew also invented the first masking tape in 1925—a 2-inch-wide tan paper tape with a pressure sensitive adhesive backing.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Mice accidentally introduced to a remote island near Antarctica 200 years ago are breeding out of control because of climate change, and they are eating seabirds and causing major harm in a special nature reserve with “unique biodiversity.”

Marine archaeologists have identified 10 shipwrecks, including one from the Roman era, in the waters around a Greek island in the Mediterranean. The finds came to light during a multiyear project carried out by a team in collaboration with Greece's National Hellenic Research Foundation and the country's Ministry of Culture. The project has been surveying an area around the island of Kasos, which lies in the Aegean Sea, a portion of the Mediterranean between the Greek peninsula to the west and Turkey's Anatolia peninsula to the east. "This research was conducted to shed light on the maritime history of the...

Tucker Carlson has been pranked over Kate Middleton‘s infamous edited photo. The former Fox News anchor was duped by British YouTubers Josh & Archie into interviewing a fake Kensington Palace whistleblower, who was prepared to dish the dirt on the doctored image. Archie Manners posed as the Prince and Princess of Wales’ former digital content creator, who claimed he had been fired for altering the Mother’s Day image so poorly it was rumbled by the public. The Tucker Carlson Network, which streams on Twitter (now X), accepted his story after Manners and co-conspirator Josh Pieters forged Kensington Palace employment documents....

Canada’s Supreme Court has been ridiculed after ruling that referring to a female sexual assault victim as a “woman” was confusing and the term “person with a vagina” should be used instead. It is believed to be the first time the new terminology has appeared in the country’s judicial rulings and has prompted sharp criticism for “blurring” the language around sexual attacks. Canada’s oldest rape shelter told The Telegraph it followed a trend of “erasure of the violence that men are committing against women”. “It definitely doesn’t serve the fight to end male violence against women when you’re blurring the...

In a move hailed by some as a significant stride towards judicial impartiality, the Judicial Conference of the United States has announced a new policy aimed squarely at curtailing the practice known as “judge shopping.” This policy requires that, in certain civil cases with statewide or national implications, judges are to be assigned randomly within the judicial district, effectively dismantling a litigant’s ability to handpick judges likely to rule in their favor. The new policy, which touches on cases that seek either a declaratory judgment or any form of injunctive relief against state or federal actions, arrives in the wake...

The murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley has inspired a local pizzeria owner to run for office. Sidney Anne Waters, who owns Mama Sid’s Pizza, is running for a slot on the Athens-Clarke County Commission because of Riley’s death — and the illegal immigrant who’s been arrested in connection with the brutal slaying. “I… all of a sudden… had a reality check… There are a lot of us in Athens that really didn’t know what our government was doing… The day before… qualifying ending, I decided I would go in and put my name on the ticket,” Waters told...

WASHINGTON — The White House is considering options for how to respond if Israel defies President Joe Biden’s repeated warnings against launching a military invasion of Rafah without a credible plan to protect Palestinian civilians, according to one former and three current U.S. officials. The discussions are taking place amid growing concern in the administration and frustration among congressional Democrats that the president’s pleas will simply be ignored. Israel this week inched closer to initiating an incursion into the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip. The Biden administration set a March 24 deadline for Israel to provide written assurance, followed...

VIDEOJoe Biden and the Democrats now think (at least publicly) it is a grave sin to interfere in the internal affairs and elections of other countries except when it comes to Israel. Chuck Schumer even gave a speech recently that Israel should have new elections in order to kick out Benjamin Netanyahu and Biden agreed that it was a good speech. This is in stark contrast to the Joe Biden of 1992 who slammed the Bush 1 administration for being perceived as "publicly vilifying" Israel. It also serves as a slam by Biden 1992 against Biden 2024.Notice that Biden back...

Ella Emhoff, the fashion model stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, is raising money publicly on her Instagram page for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency – a group tied to the mass slaughter of Jews on October 7, 2023, in southern Israel. UNRWA was directly tied to the Hamas-led attack on innocent Israelis in southern Israel on October 7. Over 1,100 Jews were slaughtered that day and another 200 were taken hostage back to Gaza.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Highway signs welcome drivers entering North Carolina to “the nation’s most military friendly state,” and veterans here know they’re being courted. But in a state where camouflage-colored appeals have become commonplace, recent efforts by progressive groups to cut into what has long been a reliably red constituency face an election-year test. Tar Heel State veterans interviewed earlier this month, ahead of Super Tuesday primary voting in some of the most active-duty and veteran-populous states, varied in their politics, even if they agreed that their military service had informed their opinions. Ryan Rogers, who fought in Afghanistan...

Households have too much debt, thanks to trying to cope with Bidenomics and Bidenflation. And much of the debt burden falls on the middle class. And lowest earners saw the biggest increase in credit card delinquenices. And who voters prefer as of today? Trump on interest rates and personal debt. In addition to the absurd idea of removing title searches for government-guaranteed mortgages (now rely on attorney opinions), the Biden Administration is considering a homebuyer tax credit … that likely won’t help much. And if you want to see which lenders have the largest concentrations of commercial real estate (CRE)...

Why has no one asked either KJP, John Kirby, or even Biden himself, if he was given any drugs prior to the SOTU address? Simple question, and requires only a simple answer, After all, there is good reason to ask. He acted out of character and in a bizarre manner.The American people have a right to know.
