BBC has reportedly been notified to watch out for an 'extremely important' royal announcement

“People crave trust in others, because God is found there.” — Dom de Bailleul. The rewards of civilization have come to seem rather trashy in these bleak days of late empire; so, why even bother pretending to be civilized? This appears to be the ethos driving our politics and culture now. But driving us where? Why, to a spectacular sort of crack-up, and at warp speed, compared to the more leisurely breakdown of past societies that arrived at a similar inflection point where Murphy’s Law replaced the rule of law. The US Military Academy at West point decided to “upgrade”...

Cop killer who shoved victim from Times Square roof 35 years ago could be free soon Forty-one cop killers in New York state have been released since 2017, with one more possibly on the way. Eddie Matos — who is serving a 25-years-to-life sentence for the October 1989 murder of NYPD Officer Anthony Dwyer, 23, who was shoved from a Times Square roof — is up for parole later this month after he successfully appealed the board’s denial last year. “It’s just mind-blowing and very disheartening. They’re letting out all cop killers,” Dwyer’s younger sister, Maureen Brisette, 45, told The...

Part of President Trump’s appeal comes from his refusal to treat adults as if they were still children. It’s no secret that many Democrat voters have “daddy” issues. They grew up in homes without strong, loving fathers and desperately seek from government what they never found in their youths: a protective authority figure and lifelong role model. When Democrats with “daddy” issues find their way into power, they force their own psychological deficiencies upon the broader populace. Why? Because they try to play “father” to their constituents but have no idea how a good father is supposed to behave. They...

The stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris has been raising funds for a U.N. agency that employed Hamas operatives that carried out the deadly attack against Israel on October 7, 2023. Ella Emhoff, who solicited funds from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), came under fire when the agency’s role in the attacks was exposed. Emhoff used META-owned platforms like Instagram to solicit donations for the UNRWA, which in turn funded HAMAS terrorists.

World-renowned infectious-disease epidemiologist and biostatistician Martin Kulldorff is no longer a professor at Harvard Medical School after refusing the COVID vaccine because he had infection-acquired immunity. Refusing the vaccine is a decision that lost him his appointment at a Harvard-affiliated hospital at the time several years ago — and this month led to his termination from the Ivy League school. “Harvard Medical School has affiliation agreements with several Boston hospitals which it neither owns nor operationally controls. Hospital-based faculty, such as Dr. Kulldorff, are employed by one of the affiliates, not by HMS, and require an active hospital appointment to...

GILLESPIE COUNTY, Texas - Deputies are investigating after a woman called to report that she was kidnapped and drugged and had shot someone in Gillespie County. On March 15, around 12:42 p.m., deputies tracked the woman down near a winery in the 10800 block of East US Highway 290, where they say she described the vehicle and the weapon used. A deputy found the vehicle in the outside lane of westbound traffic and found a man dead in the front-seat area. An investigator interviewed the woman at the local hospital while deputies gathered evidence. Police identified the dead man as...

Davidson College alumni are calling for change after student athletes recently were required to watch the video “I’m Not Racist … Am I?” which labels all white people as racists. The Davidsonians for Freedom of Thought and Discourse, an alumni-run free speech organization, exposed and denounced the video after learning the North Carolina institution forced student athletes to watch it this semester. Notably, “in one clip of the film that we uncovered, is the unequivocal repetition that all white people are racist, and people of color cannot be racist,” the organization told The College Fix in a statement via email...

A procession of prominent Republicans who wanted to guide their party away from Donald Trump in 2024 have come around to him as the former president became the party’s presumptive nominee. And many have offered virtually the same justification in grudgingly offering support: He’s at least preferable to President Biden. “I think he’d be better than Joe Biden,” said Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. “It’s as simple as that.” “I mean, the alternative is Biden,” said New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu. “The choice before the American people is crystal clear: It’s Donald Trump or Joe Biden,” said Senate Minority Whip John...

LAWFARELAND GETS NERVOUS. This newsletter has noted that the elected Democrats, Biden DOJ-appointed prosecutors, legal activists, and others who have filed criminal charges and lawsuits against former President Donald Trump have crafted a multiple-redundant line of attack. If one case fails, there is another to back it up, and if that case fails, there is another to back it up, and so on. There are four criminal cases against the former president, all charging him with felonies. At the beginning of this week, there were 91 felony counts against Trump, but a judge in the Georgia prosecution threw out some...

Something is seriously wrong with American law schools and the disciplinary outfits that are supposed to monitor corrupt conduct of practitioners. You can see the effects of this degradation in the outrageous behavior of government prosecutors and in the judiciary, which ignores its responsibility to decide fairly and without bias. We are churning out dishonest, corrupt lawyers and judges who are more than willing to look the other way at such behavior, condoning the most obvious selective partisan prosecutions. As the awareness of the failure of the judicial system grows, the consequences will be enormous -- respect for the traditional...

Voting in the Russian presidential election began this morning and will end Sunday. At that point, Putin's victory will be announced and he will start his 5th term as president. The vote tally doesn't really matter. It will be whatever the Kremlin decides it should be. Having killed off his only two real opponents in the past year, Navalny and Prigozhin, he probably feels like he earned it. The presidential vote in Russia, which began Friday and lasts through Sunday, features the trappings of a horse race but is more of a predetermined, Soviet-style referendum. President Vladimir V. Putin, 71,...

CHICAGO - Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration reversed itself Friday, announcing migrants will no longer start being evicted Saturday from Chicago’s migrant shelter system. It’s the mayor’s latest about-face in his handling of a 60-day shelter limit policy that has seen months of delays and backlash. However, the administration said they will evict 35 migrants Sunday, and the pace of evictions after that is unclear. During a Friday briefing with City Hall reporters, Johnson’s deputy chief-of-staff Cristina Pacione-Zayas confirmed the change ahead of Saturday’s deadline for the first group of migrants required to leave the shelters. The mayor had told reporters...

The mystery of Joe Biden's new boat anchor shoes has been solved, and the answer is bad news for the country. As RedState reported last Wednesday, Biden was filmed stumbling across the South Lawn. That's not an unusual sight these days, but it was what was on his feet that left people asking questions.
