A survey conducted this past February found that the top concerns for Americans heading into the November elections were inflation, immigration, poor leadership, federal spending, hunger and homelessness, crime reduction, and the fear of terrorist attacks. Since Resident Biden has (illegally) occupied the Oval Office over the past 3.5 years, we’ve all been decimated by inflation across the board, including for fuel, food, insurances, travel, supplies and other necessities. It’s an ongoing horror story. Just since Resident Biden took office 3.5 years ago, we’ve watched 15 million illegal immigrants stroll right into the United States, with money, transportation and no...

The World Economic Forum Partnership against Cybercrime (WEFPAC) appears to be a joint effort of banks, Big Tech, and the Deep State to secure total control of the world’s financial system and usher in a new era of digital tyranny. In this video, Webb warns of a new WEF initiative – called a “public-private partnership” – which is effectively a partnership between the Deep State, Big Tech, and the banks – against the public interest. She reveals how this criminal conspiracy against the public is simply a refinement of the techniques of control that this corrupted elite has practiced for...

The University of Missouri has announced it is closing its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion office — a decision made at a campus that, nearly a decade ago, saw students pioneer how racial activists can protest on campuses to force sweeping policy changes in the modern era. Shuttering the DEI office is being blamed on pressure from Republican lawmakers and described as a preemptive decision to ward off any new laws, University of Missouri System President Mun Choi told reporters at a news conference. Many lawmakers in red states have passed legislation over the last two years curbing DEI programs at...

I want you to imagine this scenario. It is 2008, and this guy, Little Bobby, is 20-years-old. Little Bobby goes on the internet, and he discovers a sovereign citizen website, where he gets told that he does not need a driver’s license, car tags or auto insurance. The website has all kinds of legal stuff on it, like blurbs from SCOTUS cases, tidbits from the Uniform Commercial Code, and excerpts from Black’s Law Dictionary and The Rules of Federal Civil Procedure. Little Bobby falls for it hook, line and sinker. So, when Little Bobby gets pulled over by the police...

Antarctica's Dotson Ice Shelf (Public Domain) ==================================================================== New imagery from beneath Antarctica’s Dotson Ice Shelf obtained by an underwater robot has revealed previously unseen features, some of them hundreds of feet long, that provide scientists an unprecedented look at the dynamics of the southernmost continent’s ice shelves. The recent findings reveal how ocean temperature and circulation are changing, which contributes to the steady increase in melting observed on Antarctica’s ice shelves in recent years, as well as to the rise of global sea levels. With the help of advanced capabilities that include the use of undersea robots, scientists are now...

Former President Donald Trump has a two-point lead nationally over Vice President Kamala Harris — the same margin by which he led President Joe Biden before the debate — according to a McLaughlin & Associates survey, published Wednesday. The poll finds Trump leading with 47 percent support to Harris’s 45 percent among 1,000 likely voters. Another eight percent of respondents are undecided.

As Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris vets potential running mates, spare a thought for the contenders as they undergo a process that one past participant likens to "a colonoscopy performed with a telescope”. Have you ever paid for sex? Have you ever paid for an abortion? Have you ever had a homosexual encounter? This is just some of the material in questionnaires fired off during the exhaustive vetting process for previous US vice-presidential nominees. Potential partners to join Ms Harris on the Democratic ticket for November's election will have to answer up to 200 questions before they can even begin...

The enthusiasm among Democrats for Vice President Kamala Harris stepping in to run at the top of the Democrat ticket instead of President Joe Biden is “palpable,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claims, despite initial polling showing that less than half believe Harris should be the one to replace Biden in the race. Biden remained obstinate for weeks after his poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump, refusing to drop out of the race despite pleas from Democrats. At the time, Biden even sent a letter to congressional Democrats, stating, “I wouldn’t be running again if I did...

The Houthis likely receive weaponry in three ways. First is by sea, as Iran resupplies the Houthis through the port of Hudaydah. This is why Iranian diplomats both activate their proxy advocacy groups to warn of imminent humanitarian disaster if anti-Houthi forces seize the capital and disrupt supposed aid supplies and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps– Navy mines ships in the Gulf of Oman to signal to the United Arab Emirates a willingness to outflank them should they endanger Iran’s Houthi supply.

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance called Vice President Kamala Harris a failed “border czar” during a tour of the “smuggler’s paradise” stretch of the border in Arizona. During his visit to the notorious sector of the border in Cochise County, Vance said Harris has been ineffective at tackling the surge of migrants crossing the border since she took office, claiming all of it will change if he and Donald Trump are elected in November. “It’s unbelievable what we’re letting happen at the southern border, and it’s because Kamala Harris refuses to do her job,” Vance said

Prime minister Keir Starmer has announced a new “capability” across police forces to combat the violent disorder seen in parts of England and called those behind it a “tiny, mindless minority in our society”. At a press conference in Downing Street, the prime minister said “fear is an understandable reaction” to the attack, but called on everyone to give families the space to grieve and authorities time to do their job. “There will be a time for questions and we will make sure that the victims and families are at the heart of that process,” he said. Starmer says he...

A boxer deemed a 'biological male' today won against an Italian woman in one of the most controversial Olympic bouts ever. The fight between Italy's Angela Carini and her Algerian opponent Imane Khelif took just 46 seconds, with the Italian throwing her helmet onto the floor as the clash was abandoned, yelling: 'This is unjust.' The 25-year-old refused the handshake and fell to the canvas sobbing having received just two punches from Khelif - who had been banned from a major boxing contest before the Olympics. Khelif was thrown out of last year's world championships after failing testosterone tests carried...
