He was going 96 in a 55 with blood alcohol level 0.128! He lied to police about being deaf in an attempt to avoid arrest.

An Instagram whistleblower with nearly 150k followers contacted me with screenshots exposing a sophisticated Astroturfing effort underway by the Harris-Walz campaign. Social media users are being PAID to post pro Harris-Walz content on Instagram.

The Egyptian Foreign Minister, Badr Abdel-Aty, addressed a press conference with his Lebanese counterpart on Tuesday, regarding the tensions in the northern sector. According to Abdel-Aty, the only way to stop the escalation in the region is to reach an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, stop "Israel's unjust aggression and ensure access to humanitarian aid for the local residents." At a press conference at the end of a meeting with his Lebanese counterpart, Abdel-Aty emphasized the need to continue intensive contacts to curb the security escalation and prevent a regional war. He noted that efforts to reach a ceasefire...

"The birds and the bees" is a story parents tell their children to deflect the question "Where do babies come from?"

The FBI is claiming to have foiled a sophisticated Iran-sponsored terror plot, in which a Pakistani was attempting to hire hitmen to carry out political assassinations on U.S. soil. But the court records show that the “hitmen” were, in fact, undercover FBI agents. The case looks similar to the supposed 2022 Iran plot to kill former national security adviser John Bolton. In that case, the FBI claimed that a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–Qods Force tried assassinating Bolton—but the Iranian was never confirmed to be an IRGC-QF member, and the “assassin” he was trying to hire was an...

Kamala Harris’s running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), quipped during an interview with CNN last week that he will buy a “ladder factory” if former President Donald J. Trump is reelected and moves to complete the wall on the U.S. southern border. The Minnesota Democrat’s comment came as he was pushing back against Anderson Cooper’s observation that Harris’s radical campaign promises during the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primary could come back to haunt her.“ You know, he talks about this wall; I always say, let me know how high it is,” Walz sarcastically remarked. “If it’s twenty-five feet, then I’ll...

OAKLAND, Calif. - During a news conference meant for a "major announcement," the Oakland Police Union demanded Mayor Sheng Thao's resignation on Tuesday, citing severe understaffing and a lack of resources within the police force.

Several Arab sources reported Tuesday that if the conflict between Iran and Israel escalates, Pakistan plans to supply Iran with Shaheen-III medium-range ballistic missiles. An emergency meeting of the foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), requested by Iran and Pakistan, took place yesterday in Saudi Arabia, with Iran examining its response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

Like we saw on ABC and NBC, Tuesday morning’s CBS News Special Report heralded Vice President Kamala Harris’s pick of Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) as her 2024 running mate, calling him an “amiable” “centrist” with a “scrappy” but “easygoing” demeanor. On top of that, he was even seen as dreamy given he’s equally “comfortable talking in a t-shirt and a baseball cap as he is talking in a suit as he is talking in a tuxedo.” Senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang went first in boasting of Walz as “very popular” and “has a voting record on the issues that...

Kamala Harris has just struck fear into the hearts of many freedom-loving Americans by announcing that her 2024 running mate is globalist climate-radical Gov. Tim Walz. If elected vice president, Walz, the Democrat governor of Minnesota, wants to push for Americans to pay a so-called “carbon tax” to ensure that the United States complies with the collectivist goals of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” agenda. Walz is hoping to continue with the green agenda policies that he’s been pushing in Minnesota but on a national level. As governor, Walz signed bills requiring Minnesota to abandon affordable and reliable...

We haven't written about Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker in a while, and we're guessing that's perfectly fine with him. Oh, sure, that was that time in July when Serena Williams tried to score virtue signal points by insulting him at the ESPY's, but that fell pretty flat. Mostly, since Butker made headlines in May by standing up for traditional families and traditional values (and Twitchy was writing about how it was such a big W for him nearly every day), Butker has retreated from the spotlight to focus on being both a husband and father, and also on...

A ballot initiative to expand abortion in Arizona will not use the phrase “unborn human being” after a judge rejected the language put forth by Republican lawmakers, deeming it too partisan and emotional. The case is now headed to the state Supreme Court. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Christopher Whitten asked that the initiative, which seeks to expand abortion access from 15 weeks to 24 weeks, use more “neutral” language. Children born as young as 21 weeks have survived. Earlier this year, Arizonans for Access — a coalition of pro-abortion groups, including the ACLU of Arizona and Planned Parenthood of...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Even before he was on the shortlist for vice president, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was working to portray Donald Trump and Republicans to the American public as “just weird." “These are weird people on the other side. They want to take books away. They want to be in your exam room,” Walz said in a TV interview last month.

This coming November, Nebraska voters will likely be faced with two ballot measures that deal with abortion in varying degrees. Though they have similar names, they would have radically different impacts on abortion in the state. Protect Our Rights The first proposed ballot initiative is the “Protect Our Rights” measure, which would establish a constitutional “right” to abortion up until the point of viability — an arbitrary guideline usually considered to be around 24 weeks gestation though babies born as early as 21 weeks have survived. Notable supporters include Planned Parenthood and the ACLU of Nebraska. The measure reads: All...

This essay was posted as a comment by “Daniel P” in response to an UnHerd piece titled “The revolt of the Rust Belt Democrats have squandered the white working class”. I was so impressed by Daniel’s alternative historical summary that I thought it worth cross-posting on Substack. Robert M. If I may, I would like to offer one old guys perspective on why we are where we are and where I think things are gonna go. The political issues we face today go back to the 1990’s and the end of the Cold War. The republicans were the party of...

Somali voters in Minnesota are coming forward to support former President Donald Trump and vote for conservative candidates in November. Salman Fiqy, a small business owner who recently ran in the Republican primary for a seat in the Minnesota House, joined Liz Collin Reports to explain why. He was recently pictured right behind President Trump at a rally in St. Cloud. Minnesota has the largest Somali population in the United States with about 90,000 residents. “This is a long conclusion that we arrived to. Due to many issues, the reason why we supported … soon to be President Donald Trump...

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has faced multiple lawsuits for allegedly infringing on religious liberty during his time as Minnesota governor. Walz encountered legal challenges for lockdown policies that religious organizations argued were discriminatory, placing stricter requirements on churches than businesses. He also encountered pushback after signing a law that stripped faith-based schools of funding for a program that offers free college credits to high school students. Walz determined in a May 13, 2020, executive order that retailers would be allowed to reopen at 50% capacity, but left religious gatherings capped at ten people. After Catholic and Lutheran churches...
