An unknown male suspect burglarized former President Donald Trump’s campaign office in Ashburn, Virginia, on Sunday night, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said Monday. Republican offices are often attacked: The RNC headquarters in Washington, DC, was reportedly subject to a biological attack in May. Party headquarters in San Jose, California, was attacked in 2022, followed by an attack on the Seminole County, Florida, Republican Party headquarters. The suspect in Virginia, whom surveillance video showed to be carrying a backpack and wearing a black baseball cap, appeared to stuff items into the bag during the burglary. He remains on the run.

Daily Readings from the USCCB“What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost." Matthew 18:12–14It is so easy to go astray. There are many wandering souls who are lost, confused, and...

Hamas attempted to fire two rockets at Tel Aviv and central Israel on Tuesday, but failed with one of them landing in the Mediterranean Sea and one of them failing to even leave the Gaza Strip. Citizens in Tel Aviv and other parts of central Israel heard sounds of explosions, initially creating confusion until the IDF clarified the situation. According to the IDF, the rocket which landed in the Sea was immediately detected, but the IDF did not activate any alarms because it was apparent from the start that its entire trajectory was flying only over the Sea. Likewise, no...

“Why did all these RVC [Russian Volunteer Corps] and the Legion [Freedom of Russia Legion] conduct their raids? To carry out additional reconnaissance [of the area]. They weren’t just walking around and posting all these videos; [PR] for the media was an afterthought. Initially, any military shit is done for military purposes. We did the same thing back in the day [since 2014]. We went in, observed the reaction — how quickly they respond to your arrival, how many forces are there, where, what, how — and then we left. Then again and again. So, eventually, [the AFU] already had...

This was incredible! On Monday night, former President Donald Trump joined forces with tech mogul and billionaire Elon Musk for what can only be described as a “major interview.” The event was nothing short of groundbreaking, bringing together two of the most influential figures of our time for a conversation that will be remembered for years to come. Trump Crashed X Originally scheduled to begin at 8 PM ET, the interview faced a delay due to a massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack, pushing the start time to around 8:45 PM ET. While the source of the attack remains...

The acting governor of Kursk, Russia – a border region Ukraine launched an invasion into last week – told Russian strongman Vladimir Putin on Monday he has evacuated 121,000 people from their homes and plans to move another 59,000 out of threatened areas as soon as possible. Reports began surfacing on August 6 of Ukrainian troops crossing the border and seizing territory in Kursk, which Ukrainian officials have long identified as a launchpad for attacks into their territory. The attacks mark the first time since Putin launched a “special operation” to oust Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in February 2022 that...

Weaponizing an historically false hierarchy of oppression. After Donald Trump was interviewed by Rachel Scott at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, the rewriter of American history, Nikole Hannah-Jones, took time out from her five-year-long promotional tour of her 1619 Project to actually write something for the New York Times, where, according to her byline, she is still employed as a “domestic correspondent . . . covering racial injustice and civil rights.” In the manner typical of her original project published as a special issue of the New York Times Magazine and expanded into a book, Hannah-Jones...

You will recall that Trump was suspended from Twitter on January 6th. Elon Musk un-suspended Trump earlier this year, provoking hysterical yips of fear from corporate media. But Trump did not use his Twitter account. Yesterday, he came back. It was a flex, an early sign of a shift in the Trump Campaign. He’s going on offense. Variety ran the first story yesterday, headlined “Donald Trump Returns to Posting on X/Twitter After Year-Long Break Ahead of Elon Musk Interview.” Here is Trump’s first X post since January 6th, 2021: I’ll get to the historic Twitter Space interview in a moment....

Tim Walz’s "Church" is about what you’d expect. Tim Walz’s "Church" is about what you’d expect.August 13, 2024 by Robert Spencer 15 CommentsHey, Tim Walz isn’t so bad. In an age when leftists compete with one another in how much they can repudiate and mock traditional values, it is surprising and refreshing to discover that the Democrats’ shiny new vice-presidential candidate, America’s dad, is a regular churchgoer. Walz’s Christian piety, however, is not exactly the sort of thing that would put you in mind of Augustine, Aquinas, Martin Luther, Mother Theresa, or any other prominent Christian you’d care to name....

As a senator, Kamala Harris voiced her "unequivocal" support for slashing America's defense budget and "redirecting funding to communities in need." Years later, the vice president and Democratic presidential nominee won't say where she stands on the issue. Harris in 2020 released a statement addressing an amendment from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) that would have redirected 10 percent of the Pentagon's budget—$74 billion in total—into an annual federal grant program. While Harris voted against the amendment, she assured constituents that her issue was with its specific wording, not its general goal. "I applaud Senator Sanders and am grateful for...

And he might be the next attorney general. When the new administration was looking for an attorney general, Ben Crump, the ultimate BLM lawyer who represented the families of George Floyd, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and nearly every BLM case, recommended Tony West. Al Sharpton also mentioned West.West, Crump argued, had been the third-highest ranking official in the Obama DOJ, “led various efforts to reduce racial bias, improve procedural fairness, strengthen the relationship between communities of color and law enforcement, and hold police departments accountable.”Or as the New York Times put it, West “launched an investigation into the 2014 shooting...

The hottest new accessory in the Hamptons this summer isn’t from Hermes or Loro Piana. It’s a clunky cell phone signal booster that exasperated Hamptonites are affixing to their cars to improve their reception in the notorious dead zone. “There is better cell service in Bangladesh than here,” one Sag Harbor resident complained to The Post. The devices, made by companies such as weBoost, Wilson Amplifiers and Cel-Fi, sell for around $500. They have long been popular with truck drivers on long-haul cross country trips or adventurers traversing the Rocky Mountains. But now they’re in vogue with a more posh...

In June, the Famine Review Commission, using the UN’s IPC framework, was forced to admit that “the available evidence does not indicate that Famine is currently occurring” in Gaza. That same month, the UN decided to stage one anyway. After months of the United Nations falsely claiming that Israel was starving Arab Muslims in Gaza, the UN has threatened to suspend aid deliveries to those very same people. The UN’s humanitarian coordinator Muhannad Hadi, a Jordanian Arab Muslim, warned Israeli officials that he would stop dispatching aid to his fellow Arab Muslims in Gaza unless the Jews met his demands....

"America’s dad" and would-be vice president has no problem associating with terror-linked groups. Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is being skillfully marketed as an all-American average guy. That’s one thing he isn’t, and in reality, he is just about the diametric opposite of that. Most Americans are not even aware, and never will be, of how sinister he really is.To hear the Democrat party’s propaganda machine, that is, the establishment media, tell it, Walz is your neighbor across the fence who has surprisingly sensible solutions to the nation’s problems, a homespun small-town high school teacher, a football coach, someone...

The steamer Evening Star, from New-Orleans Aug. 6, arrived at this port yesterday. By her we receive a brief but satisfactory confirmation of the great success achieved at Mobile by Admiral FARRAGUT. It comes in the shape of a telegram from Gen. BANKS to Mrs. BANKS, who was a passenger on the Evening Star. The dispatch was put on board the Evening Star as she was passing the station at quarantine below New-Orleans. OFFICE OF THE U.S. MILITARY TELEGRAPH, NEW-ORLEANS, Saturday, Aug. 6.

A video from 2019 of Kamala Harris vowing to shut down all immigration detention centers on “day one” as president has resurfaced and is making the rounds on social media.

But it's obvious which way Kamala leans. Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat Party’s nominee for president, is trying to walk a political tightrope on the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. On the one hand, to court as many moderate Jewish voters as possible, she repeats her canned statement of support for Israel’s right to defend itself, even going so far just recently to brand Hamas as “terrorists.” But at the same time, she is also currently entertaining the idea of an arms embargo against the Jewish state, according to pro-Palestinian advocates who spoke with her just before...

Labor economist Teresa Ghilarducci says work is the new retirement. She blames "policymakers who experimented with our retirement system 40 years ago, and they are not saying the experiment failed." That experiment is what is known today as the 401K, named after part of a 1978 law that offered companies an alternative to the traditional pension plan.

Gov. Tim Walz, now the presumptive Democratic VP candidate, blamed the lack of DEI for the George Floyd riots in May 2020. Walz starts his May 31, 2020, press conference by bashing the fact that society hasn’t made DEI a priority:
