    “Trump is brushing off assassin’s bullets like dirt off his shoulder, racking up a mile long rap sheet of the fakest & gayest felonies known to man, chased through civil court by crazy-eyed harridans deranged by how horny he makes them. Joe Biden has jello for supper at 4pm.” — Aimee Terese on “X”. Dear Hitler, “Joe Biden” wrote his personal note of condolence Saturday night. So sorry to hear that you were inconvenienced by loud noises in PA, where I grew up in the black church. Chris Wray tells me that fine people may be behind it. Will keep...

    New video shows the chaotic aftermath of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and reveals what led to the former president visibly asking for his shoes back. Initially dazed, Trump told agents: 'let me get my shoes, let me get my shoes' as he got up from the ground. The video covers an angle previously unseen amid the chaos from behind Trump as he spoke. It shows the Secret Service tackling Trump and removing his shoes and tossing them off the stage. Trump himself has also seen the bizarre side of the incident, confirming what was visible on the video...

    The Hawaii legislature has passed a bill that forbids adults aged 18-20 from purchasing or possessing ammunition. It also forbids anyone from transferring ammunition to people under the age of 21. Violation of the Bill would be punishable as a misdemeanor. On May 2, 2024, the Hawaii Legislature sent Bill SB2845 to Democratic Governor Josh Green for his signature. Governor Green (D). Governor Green has signed several state laws restricting firearms ownership and carry in Hawaii. Governor Green (D) is expected to sign SB2845 into law. Hawaii government is effectively defying the Supreme Court ruling in Bruen. From captol.hawaii.gov:SECTION 2.Chapter...

    Research from the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) has discovered a gene linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Researchers led by neurologist Dr. Ricard Rojas-García from the Neuromuscular Diseases Group and the Dementia Neurobiology Group of the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau), alongside the Memory Unit of the Sant Pau Hospital, have identified a new mutation in the ARPP21 gene that could be the cause of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a devastating neurodegenerative disease. Specifically, it is a shared mutation (c.1586C>T; p.Pro529Leu) in the ARPP21 gene that codes for an RNA-binding protein and has been found...

    In May, Vance was among nearly 50 members of Congress added to a long list of lawmakers banned from entering Russia in retaliation for U.S. sanctions imposed on Moscow. "In response to the anti-Russian sanctions regularly introduced by the Biden administration, which are intended, according to Washington's plan, to inflict maximum damage on Russia by personally affecting officials and ordinary citizens of our country, entry into the Russian Federation for 500 Americans is being closed as a countermeasure," Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement at the time... It isn't clear why Vance was specifically targeted by Russia in May,...

    Remember Obama’s fist bump, the tap—the bump—he’d give his followers? Remember how absurd and fake—and staged—the gesture was? Compare that to this: President Trump punching the air after being shot and shouting, “Fight, fight, fight.” No other image is as stark. No other comparison is as clear. No other contrast is as sharp. No other words are necessary either, because we have before us a real profile of courage. We have a spontaneous and remarkable act of presidential courage. We have President Trump standing taller and stronger than those who guard him; than all who failed to protect him; than...

    President Trump’s words after being shot weren’t a call for violence, but an encouragement to remain resolute against wickedness. According to the left-wing media narrative, we conservatives are the violent ones. This despite the fact that a Bernie Bro shot up a congressional baseball game, targeting Republicans. Despite the fact that BLM and Antifa burned down multiple American cities during the “mostly peaceful” riots of 2020. Despite the fact that leftist celebrities and media figures have been LARP-ing their “kill Trump” fantasies for going on a decade. And now, shockingly, after years of urging, someone has finally tried to kill...

    Freepers, I can't tell you how huge this is. Trump made the RIGHT CHOICE as far as I'm concerned and all common sense and for CONSERVATISM. Vance is NOT a Neocon. He's a foreign policy realist and shares the same views as Trump. The likes of Bill Kristol and the perpetual War Machine will not have slept well last night. It's superb. I'm sure Sen. Rand Paul although snubbed and skeptical of Trump 2.0 will be delighted that his friend from Ohio has got this. Please get behind J.D Vance not just as a potential VP but a future star...

    Science Adviser ^ | 12/7/24 | Hannah Richter
    Over the past few decades, earth scientists have grappled with the concept of solar geoengineering: cooling the rapidly warming planet by injecting particles high into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, for example. Now, researchers are proposing a new way to battle the effects of climate change that could prove even more costly and controversial: glacial geoengineering, designed to slow sea level rise. A white paper, released on 11 July by glaciologists who conducted a series of workshops and town halls over the course of 10 months, calls for boosting research into daring plans that would protect vulnerable ice sheets by...

    US President Joe Biden gave an interview to Speedy Morman of Complex in which he was asked why his support for Israel is so strong. “If there weren’t an Israel, every Jew in the world would be at risk,” the President replied. “And so, there is a need for it to be strong and the need for Israel to be able to have, after World War II, the ability for Jews to have a place that was their own.” “But you don’t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and a Zionist is about whether or not Israel...

    Once upon a time, not too long ago, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was the darling of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Now, the firebrand socialist finds herself in a bit of a pickle with DSA leadership, who have determined she isn’t radical enough for their liking. On July 10, the DSA issued a press statement that they will only support AOC’s reelection campaign if she agrees to the following conditions: “Publicly opposes all funding to Israel, including the Iron Dome.” “Participates regularly in the DSA Federal Socialists in Office Committee.” “Publicly opposes all criminalization of Anti-Zionism, such as bills...

    Just a week after gaining enough signatures, the Arkansas secretary of state has rejected a pro-abortion constitutional amendment initiative for November’s ballot. Earlier this month, Arkansans for Limited Government, the pro-abortion coalition behind the amendment, said it had gathered over 100,000 signatures supporting the amendment and submitted it to Secretary of State John Thurston to verify the signatures, and qualify it for the ballot. Thurston, however, rejected the petition, saying the group had not submitted required statements about the paid staffers who gathered signatures. Thurston said the group did not give statements confirming each staffer was given the required documentation,...

    In the 48 hours before he opened fire on former President Donald Trump, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks made a series of stops in and around his suburban Pittsburgh hometown. On Friday, he went to a shooting range where he was a member, and practiced firing, a law enforcement official told CNN. The next morning, Crooks went to a Home Depot, where he bought a five-foot ladder, and a gun store, where he purchased 50 rounds of ammunition, the official said. Then, Crooks drove his Hyundai Sonata about an hour north, joining thousands of people from around the region who flocked...

    After their years-long demonization of Trump supporters and conservatives, now they’re telling us to “cool” it down and be understanding. From Variety: President Joe Biden made an earnest plea for Americans to tone down the political rhetoric and pull together as a nation in the aftermath of Saturday’s shocking assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Biden’s Republican presidential rival in November. ‘We cannot, we must not go down this road in America. The political rhetoric in this country has gotten very heated,’ Biden said in a rare Oval Office address that aired live across multiple networks at 8 p.m....
