    Elon Musk said on Tuesday he is moving the headquarters of two more of his companies - social media platform X and rocket company SpaceX - to Texas from California, citing a new gender-identity law there as the "last straw." With these steps, the billionaire, who last week endorsed Republican Donald Trump for U.S. president, will have relocated Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab and most of the businesses he controls or heads to Texas.

  • M10 Booker: Don’t Let The U.S. Army Catch You Calling This A ‘Light Tank’

    National Security Journal ^ | 7/15/2024 | Brent M. Eastwood
    Well, is it or isn’t it? Is this a light tank or a reconnaissance/observational vehicle? The M10 Booker has raised some eyebrows because it is not clear what role it will play in the future Army force. It was formerly known as the vague-sounding “Mobile Protected Firepower” platform, prior to its unveiling in 2023. At that point Army acquisition honchos regarded it as a “combat vehicle.” Moreover, a U.S. Army general tried to put a finer point on the Booker during its public christening round table event, as reported by the Military Times last year. “[I]n the [U.S.] Army, the...
  • King’s Speech: PM Starmer Tells Public to Reject ‘Snake Oil’ Populism, Lays Out Leftist Agenda for Britain

    Britain’s new prime minister has called on the public to reject the “snake oil charm of populism” as King Charles III outlined the Labour government’s legislative agenda for the coming year, which will include a push to fully ban tobacco, a doubling down on the green agenda, an attempt to “reset” relations with the EU and to advocate for Palestinian statehood. At the State Opening of Parliament on Wednesday, King Charles III delivered the “gracious speech from the throne” — more commonly known as the King’s Speech — which sets out the government’s legislative programme for the upcoming parliamentary session....

    Karen Finney, Hillary Clinton’s former 2016 campaign spokesperson, said Wednesday that voters see Democrats as “losers.” Democratic Party-funded polling obtained by CNN shows Biden losing ground in the following 14 key battleground states: Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, the 2nd congressional district of Nevada, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. CNN host Kasie Hunt said “We don’t normally report on” internal polling, noting that many Democrats are concerned Biden will be “a massive drag” for down-ballot races.

    WASHINGTON, Saturday, July 16. Information has been received here direct from Loudon Valley to the effect that the rebel force, on its retreat from Maryland and Washington, is moving down that valley toward Gordonsville. The rebels seem to be marching rapidly. Our forces, who are in pursuit, captured Gen. BRADLEY JOHNSON, near Edward's Ferry, but he was subsequently rescued by a bold dash of his own cavalry. A soldier of the Sixty-seventh New-York Regiment was hanged yesterday at Poolesville as a spy. Persons from near Manassas say that the rebels are not repairing the Manassas Railroad, as reported.

Bongino claims that the administration and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary instructed the Secret Service Director to keep quiet about the issue, suggesting a cover-up. “So I was just showing Tucker some material from an unimpeachable source,” Bongino began. “According to my source, that roof was...

    I am so excited about the unity coming out of the Republican Convention. I am so grateful that "weeping may have endured for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" Our standard bearer was miraculously spared. I am so overjoyed to see the best RNC convention since Ronald Reagan. But being a realist I have to inject some sobering thoughts. I have to remember that 81 million Americans voted against this man. If he survives these evil attacks and becomes our 47th President, all may not be rosy. The democrats may try to burn our cities like before. Attacks...

    Security service officials had would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks on their radar for almost an hour before he shot Donald Trump, a new image reveals. A photograph showing the 20-year-old sniper appearing to crawl on the ground while scouring the area was circulated to law enforcement as a suspicious sighting at 5:30pm the Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 14. Around 6.10pm, Crooks took up a position on the slanted roof and shot at Trump from a distance of around 165 yards, wounding him in the ear and killing retired fire chief Corey Comperatore. Two more newly-released images also show a...

    (The Center Square) – Taxpayers in the city of Chicago now owe more than $37 billion in unpaid pension costs after debts soared by at least $1.8 billion over the last 12 months. Data outlined in the city’s annual comprehensive financial report further highlights that the city’s four employee pension funds representing police officers, firefighters, municipal employees and laborers jumped by 5% in 2023. While Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson recently boasted of the city now being on the right track in terms of getting the city’s pension system in order, state Sen. Craig Wilcox, R-McHenry, sees things entirely different. “Unfortunately,...

    Having been teaching in the classroom, online and on the range for several decades now, I guess you could say I’ve observed and experienced many different kinds of students, instructors and classes. And while not every experience is a good experience, they are all learning experiences, and I try to apply what I’ve learned, whether I’m teaching classes, taking classes or recommending classes. In fact, when it comes to taking concealed carry classes or recommending classes, I have learned that there are several factors that are crucial to consider. After all, selecting a firearms instructor (or just about any instructor,...

    Joe Biden’s “migrant crime” trend continues to surge, so it’s only appropriate we brief ourselves on the latest developments; I’ve got three in particular to mention.Random killing sprees. Now this seems to be a theme; just two days ago I wrote a blog on federal government whistleblowers revealing the processes by which Biden’s government aids the child trafficking industry, and the fact that MS-13 gang members were “sponsoring” unaccompanied minor children. If you recall, these thugs actually formed “hunting parties” to target and kill random civilians in bids to boost notoriety. But, here’s another instance, from a report via Breitbart...

    On Tuesday’s broadcast of CBS’s “Late Show,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) stated that “on really key issues,” 2024 Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is “Donald Trump, in some cases, only more so.” After talking about legislation the two worked on together and saying that she’ll work with anybody “who wants to reign in the giant banks.” Warren said that Vance is “now Donald Trump doubled” and that “means now, that, on really key issues, he’s Donald Trump, in some cases, only more so. So, for example, he said, yes, he wants a nationwide abortion ban, but he’s...
