Finally, the UK public explodes. Should anyone be surprised that what has been called a “wave of violence” swept the cities of Britain this past weekend? For years, while the mass immigration of Muslims has utterly transformed their country, the overwhelming majority of Brits have stuck to form – keeping a stiff upper lip, queuing politely for buses, and biting their tongues as they watched entire neighborhoods, such as the traditionally cockney East End of London, converted to Muslim enclaves. In the months since October 7, they sat home and sipped their tea while armies of Muslims filled their streets...

The icing on the cake is assigning the least credible federal LE agency—the FBI—to handle the investigation. Among the best advice any writer can take is: “write what you know.” Properly applied, this axiom can keep writers of fiction from inventing semiautomatic, lever action revolvers, or writing female characters with the sensibilities of Hulk Hogan. Because police work was my military MOS and my first civilian career, I know a few things about investigations, such as what should happen, when and why. When those things don’t happen in the right order, or they don’t happen at all, it’s virtually always...

Vice President or Something Kamala Harris has just gotten some bad news in her quest to become the next person to pretend to be president of the United States, if she isn’t doing that already: the Biden regime Labor Department on Friday released a jobs report that shows that job growth is cratering while unemployment is rising. As job growth has been one of the chimerical accomplishments that Old Joe and his henchmen have most often touted as evidence of the “success” of the regime, this was the last thing the woman whom we now all love and admire wanted...

SpaceX successfully launched a resupply mission for the International Space Station on Sunday after it was postponed Saturday because of unfavorable weather. The space exploration company used a Falcon 9 rocket to launch the Cygnus spacecraft made by Northrop Grumman -- best known as a defense contractor. Northrop Grumman changed its launch vehicle for Cygnus missions from its own Antares 230+ rocket to SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket after the war in Ukraine ended engine and booster production for the Antares program. Onboard are tests of water recovery technology and a process to produce stem cells in microgravity, studies of the...

Evidence that the “Trump is a racist” media narrative is no longer working became more obvious when a reporter interviewed black patrons in a Barbershop concerning race, politics, and the upcoming November general election. The segment came just days before former President Donald Trump took the stage in Chicago in front of the National Association of Black Journalists. During the appearance, Trump slammed ABC’s Rachel Scott over her question about Vice President Kamala Harris‘ race-based plastics. However, Smith’s segment shows what actual voters feel about these issues. When Smith brought up Harris and the likelihood of her candidacy swaying black...

BREAKING: Kamala Harris selects Tim Walz to be her running mate

Official Democrat Party X Account Posts Photo of Kamala Harris with 'Michelle' Signs in Backround The official Democratic Party X account published a photo of Kamala Harris asking followers if they were excited about the upcoming Democratic National Convention (DNC), but something in the background steered attention away from their so-called “anointed” nominee. In the photo, Kamala Harris is in the center, but in the background, there are several signs with “Michelle” on them. What’s going on? The post that featured the “Michelle” signs read: “There are only 15 days until the Democratic National Convention. Who’s excited?” The first to...

Are you tired of hearing people tell you that they HOPE the horrible things happening across our nation can be turned around, while at the same time, doing absolutely nothing to help in the fight to save America? Have you ever noticed that many of the individuals who complain the most about how our country is rapidly declining and how something drastic needs to happen before it’s too late, are the people who are nowhere to be found when it comes to volunteering to help local election integrity groups or even running for local offices like city council, school boards...

~It is just a week since the famously Welsh boyo Axel Rudakubana used what English law calls a "bladed article" to kill three little girls - aged nine, seven and six - and attempt to kill another ten. My old Telegraph colleague Allison Pearson writes: The failure to discuss the terror suffered by Elsie, Alice and Bebe, three little girls knifed to death by a devil, and the pain of five other critically ill children and their dance teacher is deafening. Families must be shocked, raging and grief stricken, but they are not... — Allison Pearson (@AllisonPearson) August 4, 2024...

We're getting oh so close to knowing who all the candidates on the November ballot will be, but even as the calendar has turned to August, about a third of all states still have yet to hold their primaries for non-presidential office. On Tuesday, four states — Kansas, Michigan, Missouri and Washington — will head to the polls (or mail in their ballots), and we're tracking over a dozen races between them. With luck, by Wednesday, we'll know whether the progressive "Squad" has lost another member; whether one of the two remaining Republican representatives who voted to impeach former President...

Another member of the “squad” of progressive lawmakers is fighting for political survival in Tuesday’s primaries, which will also put former President Donald Trump’s endorsement to the test once again, including in Michigan’s crucial battleground Senate race. Rep. Cori Bush’s Democratic primary in Missouri is among the most expensive and hotly contested races Tuesday, when voters in four states — Missouri, Washington, Michigan and Kansas — pick their parties’ nominees in congressional and state races. Four years after she ousted longtime Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr. in the heavily Democratic 1st District, Bush is looking to win a race that...

Republicans have been odd for a good long while now. Remember the Tea Party people? They used to show up to rallies and events in tri-cornered hats bedecked with bags of Lipton’s finest, but they have nothing on the current incarnation of the Grand Old Party. Revolutionary War cosplay seems a strange way to express your political ideology, but it’s not nearly as weird as obsessing over a stranger’s gender identity or trying to mandate state tracking of menstrual cycles. It took eight years and dozens of conspiracy theories, but Democrats have finally managed to successfully label this most recent...

On June 21, 2024, a three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit issued a unanimous opinion against Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of the State of Texas, and three individual plaintiffs. The ruling stopped the challenge to the National Firearms Act federal regulation of silencers, at least for the present. The opinion was not about the merits of the case. It was based solely on the plaintiffs’ standing to sue. The case is Paxon v Dettelbach. From the opinion:First, the declarations do not state any intention to engage in conduct proscribed by law. Rather, the declarations state only that the Individual...

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday big-footed the brigadier general overseeing the war court at Guantanamo Bay and revoked the plea deals she had struck with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh-Mohammed and two co-conspirators, which took the death penalty off the table. We support Austin’s move, but what does tough-as-nails former prosecutor Kamala Harris, the anointed Democratic presidential nominee, think about this issue? It would be nice to know, should the press ever dare to ask her a question. There are a couple of reasons to wonder. The first is her brother-in-law Tony West’s role as a "key campaign adviser" to...

During an interview at the Van Zandt County Jail, Chen allegedly stated that the gold bars had been given to him by someone to transport to Dallas however he declined to give any further information. Lin told officials he left China and traveled to Hong Kong, from there he flew to Turkey and then to Mexico. He then traveled through Mexico with other Chinese nationals in an attempt to enter into the U.S.

WASHINGTON — The Secret Service said Monday it “disposed of” cocaine found last year at the White House — responding to a report about alleged infighting on its fate following a partial DNA match. “The evidence from that investigation was disposed of in accordance with retention policies,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in an email. Guglielmi did not state the specific retention policy, but broadly dismissed as “false” allegations outlined by a trio of sources to RealClearPolitics, which reported that President Biden’s then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle wanted to destroy the cocaine but faced internal opposition.

Michigan Conservative Coalition (MCC) is Michigan’s hardest-working and most respected conservative grassroots group. Their leadership never stops finding ways to boost the number of conservative members in the Michigan Legislature. Unlike other organizations that use surveys to vet candidates, MCC takes a different approach. For existing officeholders, we look at a Representative’s voting record and campaign finance reports to see who is contributing to their campaign. For new candidates, we look at things like who is supporting them, where they are getting their contributions, and who is their campaign consultant/manager. What is their background in politics? If it’s a contested...
