A police inspector has been dismissed after assaulting two women while off duty during a discussion about Meghan Markle. Tola Munro dragged a woman to the ground before punching her in the face and then hitting a second woman during an incident in May last year. The father of four, a former president of the National Black Police Association, “completely lost control” during the incident, according to reports. It was said to have begun as the result of a discussion about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and race. Gwent police carried out a criminal investigation into the incident, which...

Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., was largely unknown to voters across the country when Vice President Kamala Harris selected him as her running mate, so his record is coming under national scrutiny for the first time. Unfortunately for Walz and the Democrats, his record as governor of Minnesota is every bit as bad as that of the Biden-Harris administration, if not worse. When the George Floyd riots began in Minneapolis in May 2020, Walz dithered. For four days, while Minneapolis and other cities burned, Walz refused to call out the National Guard. By the time the riots were finally brought under...

On July 26th (17 days ago) Barack Obama gave a scripted, staged endorsement to Kamala Harris WASHINGTON — Oh, the cringe. Vice President Kamala Harris scored the endorsement of Barack and Michelle Obama on Friday, with her campaign posting a video of Harris pressing an iPhone to her ear — despite her cellphone’s display indicating that she was on speaker phone with the former first couple. Harris feigned surprise in the clip — shot using multiple camera angles, indicating elaborate preparation. “Kamala!” the 44th president greeted Harris, 59, as an aide to the vice president passed her the phone mid-stride....

Glenn Close made good money and earned an Oscar nomination for playing JD Vance’s mamaw in the Hollywood movie adaptation of his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy. Now she is trashing Vance over his cat comment from years ago — making her the latest celebrity to obsess over the remark in an apparent attempt to distract voters from Kamala Harris’ disastrous record on the economy and illegal immigration. Under the Kamala economy, consumer prices have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels, forcing tens of millions of Americans — like the kind Close played in Hillbilly Elegy — to struggle to pay for essential...

Jesse Ventura looks back on his final days in WWE. The Hall of Famer and former Governor of Minnesota famously departed the company back in 1990 after a dispute with Vince McMahon. During a recent interview with MSNBC, Ventura reminds the world that Hulk Hogan had ratted him out to McMahon when trying to form a wrestler’s union, which led to his eventual firing. He adds that he isn’t surprised to see Hogan now align politically with the Republican party. "It doesn’t surprise me because when I was in wrestling in the 80s, I tried to unionize wrestling. It was...

Former President Donald Trump on Monday posted on X – formerly known as Twitter – for the first time in nearly a year ahead of his conversation on the platform later in the day with X owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Among Trump’s X posts Monday was a video featuring past comments made by Democratic rival Kamala Harris in support of progressive policies – something the former president has highlighted at his recent campaign rallies. The comments include Harris saying that she didn’t want to “treat people who are undocumented, who cross the border, as criminals,” that “we need...

ransomnote: The first 16 minutes of the 31 minute Rumble video cover Ukraine War updates. Alexander Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris each post some content separately, and then they combine their commentary in separate content under their business title, "The Duran." This is Christoforou posting alone, and for some reason he refers to Zelensky as 'Elensky' throughout his talk.In the Ukrainian drone attack on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP), one of the columns close to the reactor caught fire. The ZNPP had to be put in cold shutdown. Russia claims the plant is safe, and is in cold shutdown. (image from...

ROMULUS, MI — A video depicting a crowd of 15,000+ fans cheering Kamala Harris at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport appears to have been filmed from within a popular life simulation video game from Electronic Arts called The Sims. Jaggy and clipping textures are seen in several areas of the video, which conspiracy theorists have highlighted in several YouTube videos and posts on X, formerly Twitter. Trump repeated the claim in a post on Truth Social: "Has anyone notice that Kamala CHEATED at the airport? All those people with the dead eyes and the looping animations. They're sims! The repeated...

All it took was a little bit of graffiti for Belgium’s third-largest city to side with hate. A group of Israeli frisbee athletes was scheduled to play in an international competition in Ghent last week when a vandal spray-painted antisemitic graffiti near the field: “Boycott Israhell Now!” Insanely, the town’s mayor and police force reacted by booting the Israeli team from the competition. ... More, the town told the coaches and team members they couldn’t even watch the game. In 2024, people in a major Western European city (a university town, no less!) are being banned from sporting events because...

Vice President Harris leads former President Trump by 9 points among young voters in a new poll, marking the latest shift in support from a demographic President Biden struggled to capture before withdrawing from the 2024 race. In a SocialSphere survey, released by Democratic super PAC Won’t Pac Down, Harris garnered 51 percent support from registered voters ages 18-29 in battleground states in a two-way race against Trump, who had 42 percent of support from this group. Seven percent did not know which candidate they would back. Pollsters noted this is a 13-point shift to Harris since the poll was...

President Biden would “absolutely” sign legislation to eliminate taxes on tipped wages if it made it to his desk, the White House said Monday, embracing a policy first proposed by former President Trump and echoed by Vice President Harris. “Look, this is something that the president supports,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a briefing. “He supports eliminating taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers while also raising minimum wage and preventing the wealthy from gaming the system.”

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tried and failed Monday to claim credit for the “no tax on tips” idea that Vice President Kamala Harris embraced after former President Donald Trump proposed it earlier this summer. As Breitbart News has reported, Harris copied Trump’s policy of “no tax on tips” — a key point in his speech at the Republican National Convention last month — during a campaign rally on Saturday. As Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) said, Harris was the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, which provided for 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents —...

The globalist tyrants in control of the European Union sent a letter to Elon Musk on Monday demanding the X owner censor President Donald Trump during their interview tonight. The letter was sent by Thierry Breton and was dated August 12, 2024. Thierry Breton is a French business executive, politician, writer and the current Commissioner for Internal Market of the European Union. In the letter, Thierry warns Elon Musk, “You have the legal obligation to ensure X’s compliance with EU law and in particular the DSA in the EU.” Thierry Breton goes on, “This notably means ensuring on one had...

Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson has agreed to attend social-media training as mandated by the College of Psychologists of Ontario, the governing body for the profession in that province. In 2022, the college determined that Peterson, who has gained international fame for his refusal to bow down to transgender ideology and other left-wing causes of the moment, must attend such training or lose his license. “Degrading” Social-media PostsThe college determined that Peterson’s posts on social media, particularly those concerning transgenderism, could be viewed as “degrading.” They noted a post directed against a former city councilor in which Peterson declared that person’s...

On today's Morning Joe, Conway self-owned, that he's been "yammering" on these same vicious anti-Trump themes for years. But Conway's accusations reached their apex today. Playing off Trump's Truth Social posts claiming that Kamala Harris's Michigan crowd size had been fabricated, Conway called Trump a delusional narcissistic psychopath, adding that if his family cared about him, they would have him committed to a psychiatric hospital.Working in the obligatory Nazi analogy, Conway compared Trump to Hitler in his final days in the bunker, moving around divisions that didn't exist. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The six one-offs that drove growth and pulled the global economy out of bubble-bust recessions for the past 30 years have all reversed or dissipated. Absent these one-off drivers, the global economy is stumbling off the cliff into a deep recession without any replacement drivers. Colloquially speaking, the global economy is toast.Here are the six one-offs that won't be coming back:1) China's industrialization.2) Growth-positive demographics.3) Low interest rates.4) Low debt levels.5) Low inflation.6) Tech productivity boom.Cutting to the chase, China bailed the world out of the last three recessions triggered by credit-asset bubbles popping: the Asian Contagion of 1997-98, the...

The president of an American Federations of Teachers' affiliate in Chicago was berated by a Black mom for claiming on a radio station that standardized tests are "junk science rooted in White supremacy" as well as "eugenics." Stacy Davis Gates, president of the Chicago Teachers Union and executive vice president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers, was asked by a Black radio station last week about public school students' declining reading and math scores. Specifically, criticism that Gates was advocating to boost teachers' contracts with money that would be better served addressing student achievement. She responded that gauging student achievement...

On August 9, 2024, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district court on a case in which numerous states and private parties challenged the ATF’s “pistol-brace” regulatory decision which attempted to reclassify items that it had previously approved as non-NFA “pistols” to NFA short barrel rifles. See, Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Inc., et al v. Merrick Garland, et al, No. 23-3230 (8th Cir. August 9, 2024). The district court denied the request by the Plaintiffs for a preliminary injunction when the court concluded that the Plaintiffs were unlikely to succeed on the merits – that is, the trial...
