“Shark Tank” star and investor Kevin O’Leary said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” that if Kamala Harris is elected in November, America will become Canada. O’Leary said, “There is precedent for what is going on here. I ask everybody to look north to Canada. When a young Justin Trudeau swept in, nobody cared about his executional skills or what he’d ever done or anything. They just thought he was the it guy. Look at the country now it’s wiped out it because it turns out the guy had no executional skills. It would be important to leave...

The New York Times had the temerity to actually blame free markets for Venezuela’s descent down the economic cesspool under socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro. Who in their right mind would actually consider Venezuela a beacon of capitalism in South America? Apparently The Times. The newspaper claimed in a July 28 news item that “in recent years, the socialist model has given way to brutal capitalism, economists say, with a small state-connected minority controlling much of the nation’s wealth.” The newspaper, whose report was addressing the dubious presidential election results in the socialist country, cited no specific cohort of "economists" who...

Kamala Harris had no sooner replaced Joe Biden as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee than Donald Trump began bashing her over the number of immigrants coming into the United States, declaring that they had driven countless American workers from their jobs.But the data on U.S. employment and the economy overwhelmingly suggest a reality far more beneficial when it comes to immigration than the nightmarish vision the former president has put forth.The surge of international migrants since 2021 — including refugees, asylum seekers and others entering legally and illegally — has lifted the U.S. and California economies by filling otherwise vacant...

FROM YESTERDAY: Explanation: To some, it looks like a penguin. But to people who study the universe, it is an interesting example of two big galaxies interacting. Just a few hundred million years ago, the upper NGC 2936 was likely a normal spiral galaxy: spinning, creating stars, and minding its own business. Then it got too close to the massive elliptical galaxy NGC 2937, below, and took a dive. Together known as Arp 142, they are featured in this new Webb infrared image, while a visible light Hubble image appears in comparison. NGC 2936 is not only being deflected, but...

When Richard Nixon resigned and left the White House in August 1974, it wasn’t the only unprecedented action that shook the country. For the only time in U.S. history, both an unelected president and an unelected vice president served in the nation’s highest offices. A chain of events led to President Gerald Ford and Vice President Nelson Rockefeller in the White House. Less than a year earlier, in October 1973, with Nixon already reeling from the Watergate scandal, his vice president, Spiro Agnew resigned after pleading no contest to income tax evasion. For most of American history, the position would...

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D) used the Senate hearing on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump to criticize the “easy accessibility” of AR-15s. When questioning FBI deputy director Paul Abbate, Hirono asked that he clarify the type of firearm used in the assassination attempt. Hirono then claimed that the United States is “a nation awash in guns.” She then zeroed in on AR-style rifles and asked, “Shouldn’t we be doing more to prevent the easy accessibility of these kinds of firearms in our country?” Abbate refused to wade into a gun control debate, making clear he is “focused on...

They know they can't normally win the 2nd Congressional District in Nevada. So they are trying to sneak in a person named Greg Kidd. "He is running as a nonpartisan for Nevada's second Congressional district" says his website. He is flush with cash from God knows where. Talk radio airwaves are being bombarded with his ads. He is bragging about his 100% support by Planned Parenthood on billboards. His radio commercials are saying how he will bridge partisan politics and he is giving off dog whistles of how he will solve the immigration problem by pushing the granting of amnesty....

It's one of the wealthiest states in America, with residents of its fanciest zip code luxuriating in $3 million red-brick apartments. But the writing is on the wall for Massachusett, says an alarming new study. The 50,000 non-legal migrants who've entered the state since Joe Biden became president are putting a costly strain on schools, healthcare, and other services. Jessica Vaughan, author of the report for the Center for Immigration Studies , says the state is destined for bankruptcy. That's because migrants will drain state coffers of a staggering $1.8 trillion over the next two years. Even though some non-legal...

Kamala Harris represents the most dangerous kind of politician. At her core, she’s a Marxist tyrant and a radical left-wing activist. Yet, when the spotlight hits her, she sheds her skin like a snake, adopting the guise of a semi-centrist. But we all know that’s just an act. Once in power, Kamala will rip off her semi-centrist mask and reveal her true identity—Kamala Jong Un. Her track record is a disaster. This is the woman who championed the wildly dangerous and unpopular “Defund the Police” movement, and supported a soft-on-crime bail fund that put violent George Floyd rioters, murderers, and...

Open Way Church in Vancouver, Canada, is among the most demonic we’ve ever encountered. Led by impastors Beth Carlson-Malena and Mark Fox, their ‘church values’ and ‘beliefs are a thing to behold. Not only do they only gather in person as a corporate body once a month, because of their fear of COVID, which “is not over yet.” Their church bio explains that they practice an “anti-racist and decolonizing faith” built by “queering power” while advocating for an “anti-oppressive, margins-centering approach to structures and practices.” They also “encourage curiosity and risky questions, leaving room for wonder and mystery and the...
