On the same day that a would-be assassin attempted to kill former President Donald Trump, Antifa militants attacked a group of people attending an evangelical Christian worship event in downtown Portland, Oregon. Children were among the crowd. Far-left extremists, including members of Rose City Antifa, were captured on video deploying mace, throwing punches, and violently beating Christians. Some of the attackers wore militant black bloc uniforms, while others hid their identity behind Islamic keffiyeh scarves. The event attacked was the United Revival Jesus March, the same event that Antifa extremists attacked last year. Despite Rose City Antifa's attempt to spoil...

DALLAS — "Aim better." Those two words have put a sergeant with the Dallas Police Department on administrative leave pending an internal investigation, DPD sources tell WFAA. A screenshot of the post shared with WFAA shows the social media post made by Sgt. Arturo Martinez. This comes in the wake of former president Donald Trump being the target of an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennslyvania. The next day, the FBI identified the shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. The department said it received an internal complaint on July 13 "regarding a member...

We were a movement defined by hedonism on a quest to leave religion behind and birth the counterculture. We chased sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll all through the 1960s and 1970s, only to come out of it wanting the American dream like everyone else. As we cut our hair, put on suits, bought homes, and became executives, we once again tried for the power of the presidency after the whole thing collapsed in 1980. Ronald Reagan rose because the Left and everything they stood for was nothing Americans wanted anymore, just like now. I came of age in the...

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.” Matthew 11:21–22Chorazin and Bethsaida were Jewish towns that Jesus visited frequently to preach and to perform many “mighty deeds.” They were located just north of His city of residence, Capernaum. Tyre and Sidon were pagan coastal cities northeast of Chorazin and...

Joe Biden sat down for an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt to discuss the assassination attempt against President Trump. A bullet grazed President Trump’s ear on Saturday during his Pennsylvania rally. In an appalling breach of security, a gunman was able to climb on top of a roof next to Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally and put Trump in his scope. President Trump raised his fist and shouted, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” after a bullet grazed his ear. Lester Holt asked Biden if it is acceptable that he has not heard from his DEI Secret Service Director. “Is it acceptable that you...

Mika Brzezinski began today's Morning Joe with an apparent expression of discontent about the show having been yanked off the air yesterday, pointedly saying "It is VERY good to be here." That apparent discontent become absolutely explicit an hour later in the show. Joe Scarborough in effect accused the NBC News suits of having lied to them in saying that they'd been taken off the air because there'd be one unified feed across all their networks yesterday. That didn't turn out to be so. Scarborough ended with what sounded like a threat to quit, saying: "Next time we're told there's...

It is unclear why the listings were taken down, but the Chinese internet is heavily controlled, with content considered "sensitive" routinely taken down. The assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally last Saturday sparked widespread discussion online, with related hashtags trending high on X-like platform Weibo. A cached image on Taobao, one of China's largest e-commerce sites, shows the T-shirt priced at 39 yuan ($9; £7). A 25-year-old Taobao retailer told South China Morning Post that she received more than 2,000 orders for the T-shirts a mere three hours after she put it up for sale. Most were from China and...

CNN senior political commentator Van Jones warned that TV personality and model Amber Rose’s address to the Republican National Convention in support of former President Trump was the "most dangerous speech" for the Democratic Party. The pundit expressed trepidation over the fact that Rose, a person of color with mainstream fame, spoke at the RNC, noting that she’s appealing to people in liberal circles who may be frustrated with Democratic policies. "That was probably the most dangerous speech for the Democratic coalition," Jones said about Rose’s speech while covering the first night of the convention in Milwaukee....... "I realize Donald...

At this moment, nearly every major Department of Defense program seems to be struggling. Technological bottlenecks, industrial capacity problems, workforce issues, and general bureaucratic confusion have produced delivery delays and cost overruns, even as the entire defense industrial base faces the challenge of competing with Russia and China. The major exception to these problems appears, surprisingly enough, to be the B-21 Raider. The purpose of the B-21 program was to produce a new generation of strategic bombers to replace the B-1B Lancer and the B-2 Spirit. The subsonic B-21 is designed to use stealth to penetrate enemy air defenses and...

VIDEOMSNBC made the decision to YANK the Morning Joe show on their first scheduled day on the air after the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. Even MSNBC was nervous about what the members of the Morning Joe show would say. It would have been like putting Keith Olbermann on the air to comment. Think I'm exaggerating? Watch Morning Joe go full TDS and you can understand why the show was yanked.

Embattled Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle has revealed the fateful reason why her agency failed to position an agent on top of the building that a gunman used to carry out an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Cheatle, who is already facing calls to resign over what some lawmakers are calling a massive security failure, said Secret Service officials planning security for Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania considered the warehouse about 150 yards away from where Trump spoke to be a risky position for stationing an agent. 'That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And...

"And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full." " Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

Crews work to lift car out of the Semi-Centennial Geyser Image credit: National Park Service ================================================================== t wouldn’t be a day ending in “y” without a tourist having a mishap at Yellowstone National Park. The latest snafu comes courtesy of five visitors who accidentally drove their SUV into the Semi-Centennial Geyser – a hot, acidic pond located near the park’s Roaring Mountain, between Mammoth Hot Springs and Norris Junction. The geyser has been inactive since 1922, when it experienced a series of eruptions so violent that water was reportedly ejected more than 300 feet (91 meters) into the air. Nevertheless,...

Russian Minister of Defense Andrey Belousov has attempted to reach out to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin once again to remind the Pentagon that NATO is backing Russia into a corner. NATO held a summit that concluded by providing Ukraine with an additional $43 billion in aid. The call between the two leaders of defense “emphasized the importance of maintaining lines of communication amid Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine.” The United States, after all, is the primary backer of NATO. Jens Stoltenberg may be the head of NATO, but the United States controls the alliances since it all comes down...

Johannesburg — Kenya's National Police said Monday they had arrested a 33-year-old man whom they called a "psychopathic serial killer with no respect for human life." They said the suspect, Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, had admitted to murdering 42 women, including his wife, whom they say he acknowledged as his first victim. Mohammed Amin, chief of Kenya's national Directorate of Criminal Investigations, said Khalusha had murdered some victims as recently as just four days prior to his arrest, but that his alleged killing spree began in 2022. Amin made the statement during a news conference at DCI headquarters in Nairobi on...

If you ask most people about the role of the Secret Service, they would say it protects the president and presidential candidates. However, the Secret Service now has various other functions unrelated to presidential protection, raising the question of whether guarding the president should be an “also.” Additionally, the president used to be guarded by big, strong men. Why is it wrong to consider that men and women have different skills and sizes, and perhaps guarding the president should remain the domain of big, strong men? The “Our Protective Mission” section of the Secret Service website explains that its original...

In May 2008, 57-year-old Sharon Causse was fatally shot in what appeared to be a home invasion after returning from a date night with her husband Thomas Randolph. Randolph told police in Las Vegas that he found her dead and then shot a masked intruder, claiming he acted in self-defense after the intruder killed Sharon, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. Investigators later learned that the intruder was a handyman named Michael Miller — who Randolph hired to kill Sharon, his sixth wife, in order to collect more than $300,000 in insurance money, prosecutors said, per the outlet. But Sharon’s murder...
