BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C. — Boiling Spring Lakes Fire Rescue made everyone giggle Friday when they posted about an adventure their chief and the Brunswick County Sheriff's deputies had overnight. Around 1 a.m., Brunswick County deputies got a call asking for help with a strange traffic issue. It appears an alligator, which they thought looked about 12-feet long, was lying in the middle of the road, lunging at passing cars. Since the gator was huge, Boiling Spring Lakes Fire Rescue was called in to help. The chief and a Quick Response Vehicle was sent to the scene. "After a first attempt...

Multiple brawls and wild chaos engulfed Washington Square Park in the aftermath of New York City’s Pride Parade Sunday as police battled to control the unruly mob of revelers, shocking footage shows. Video from the jaw-dropping scene showed fistfights and hair-pulling as several troublemakers turned the crowded park into their own personal boxing ring while herds of onlookers watched with glee and even whipped out their phones to record the showdowns in Lower Manhattan. At one point, two young men threw haymakers at each other before one took a tumble to the ground. Seconds later, two women briefly took swings...

The Ukraine war will end in a surrender, not in a negotiated deal. That is my sense of where the war is headed and why the parties cannot negotiate a settlement. The latest wrinkle in the missing negotiating saga is a declaration in the form of an interview given by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the Philadelphia Inquirer. In the interview, Zelensky said there can’t be direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia but there could be indirect negotiations through a third party. In Zelensky’s proposed scenario, the third party will serve as an intermediary and any deal will only be...

Historian Allan Lichtman suffered a meltdown on CNN, accusing them and other media outlets of helping former President Donald Trump’ by showing Joe Biden‘s disastrous debate performance.

First lady Jill Biden is on Vogue’s next cover in a gushing profile posted Monday — as she vowed not to give up on the 2024 race despite hubby President Biden’s disastrous debate performance.

Two lines from the opinion, where the Supreme Court justices address the trial judge in Trump's election interference case, are getting a lot of attention "And the parties and the District Court must ensure that sufficient allegations support the indictment’s charges without such conduct," they write. That means that once the official acts are stripped away, the trial court must decide if there's enough still in the indictment to go forward. They're basically warning that the case against Trump may fall apart. They also write: "Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not...

Leftists create literally thousands of organizations – with the most innocent-sounding names – to hide their use of tax-free Dark Money to influence U.S. elections. The Fractal team, using advanced quantum technology, entered this organization – The Voter Participation Center – and into its recently released Fractal Dark Money System and the results were shocking. This one organization is tied to literally thousands of Leftist organizations, some tied to Chinese organizations, and in hundreds of cases tied to groups who are registering voters and running political campaigns. VIDEO AT LINK................... Some of these connected organizations are tied to Chinese Communist...

ATLANTA, GA — With both of his arms and legs cut clean off by the end of the debate, President Biden has continued to insist that the defeat was "merely a flesh wound." "Come back here and take what's coming to you, Donald! I'll bite your legs off!" shouted Biden. "Joe Biden always triumphs!" According to sources, Trump had encouraged the overmatched Biden to simply step aside, but Biden refused to do so despite losing one limb after the other. "Joe, you've got no arms left, believe me. Very sad, No-Arms Joe," said Trump. "Not going to shoot too...

President Biden’s debate debacle has giddy New York and New Jersey GOP leaders believing former President Donald Trump could be the first Republican to win their states in four decades. Even if carrying the blue states is a longshot, party insiders and independent analysts expect Trump will do strongly enough in the suburbs that he can help Republican House incumbents defend seats they won in 2022 – and maybe even make gains. “Trump can win New York just like Ronald Reagan did in 1980,” said New York State Republican Party chairman Ed Cox. A recent Siena College poll had Trump...

For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The massive organized crime indictment of Donald Trump and 13 other GOP co-defendants in Georgia will be impacted by Monday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling on whether the former president is immune from prosecution for his alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot. The decision, according to CBS News, will impact special counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump in Washington, D.C., where the former president has pleaded not guilty to the four charges he is facing. But a ruling could also have consequences for two other cases involving Trump. One, also brought...

Oh, and since Biden could have inadvertently DESTROYED the Morning Joe marriage perhaps he might feel obligated to help bring them back together by calling on the advice of the smartest person he knows. Namely Hunter Biden who could give Mika and Morning Joe emergency marriage counseling. Wouldn't everybody appreciate Hunter Biden providing such a service due to his vast knowledge of broken marriages and relationships? If there is indeed a CRACK in the Morning Joe Marriage, that is something Hunter Biden would definitely be interested in smoking out.age.html">VIDEO
