The Sylacauga city (Alabama) council meeting ended abruptly Thursday night after council president Tiffany Nix shut down public comment after citizens voiced concern with a recent influx of Haitian migrants.

Will Spencer of the "Renaissance of Men" interviews Dr. R. Mark Musser on his book entitled, "Nazi Ecology: The Oak Sacrifice of the Judeo-Christian Worldview in the Holocaust" which demonstrates the essential pagan worldview of National Socialism and how its racist Social Darwinism was co-mingled with ecology since it cannot be separated from biology that played no small role in the Shoah.

While Hitler and Mussolini both expressed their opposition to and hatred of “Marxists,” they nevertheless embraced a leftism that was only marginally different from that embraced by Lenin and Stalin. In light of recent events and discussions attempting to rehabilitate the historical reputation of Germany’s Nazis, it might be worthwhile to re-examine the foundations of the ideology that underpinned National Socialism and its close cousin fascism. Those who embrace the revisionism that excuses the Nazis’ crimes appear to believe that by doing so, they are defending themselves and their ideological brethren from unfair and ahistorical attacks by the broader left....

When U.S. consumers are doing well, the U.S. economy does well. But of course the opposite is also true. When U.S. consumers are not doing well, the U.S. economy really suffers. The government has been trying really hard to put a happy face on things, but the truth is that the standard of living for most U.S. consumers has been going down for a long time. The cost of living has been rising faster than paychecks have, and so most of us have less discretionary income than we once did. And that is really bad news for the U.S. economy,...

The local paper, the Springfield News-Sun, reported on a hostile city commission meeting last fall following the death of Aiden Clark, an 11-year-old boy. Aiden was riding a school bus on the first day of school, 2023, and was killed and 12 other children were injured when a Haitian immigrant drove into oncoming traffic causing the school bus to overturn. Here is a report on a part of the meeting: At the meeting, the city manager of Springfield said, “We are not officially declared a sanctuary city … We have never passed any legislation to that effect.’ He further noted...

Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) says there’s a concerted effort by the federal government and the legacy media to “debunk” the fact that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens prevent crime and stop mass shooters. Massie was referring to an article by Dr. John R. Lott Jr. that makes the case that the FBI, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and legacy media outlets regularly suppress and hide data that proves that an armed citizenry is one of the most effective deterrents to a mass casualty attacks. ongressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) says there’s a concerted effort by the federal government and...

A 26-year-old American woman who was fatally shot while demonstrating against settlements in the West Bank on Friday was a recent University of Washington graduate, the university said. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was attending a weekly demonstration against settlement expansion when she was shot by Israeli soldiers, witnesses told The Associated Press. UW Professor Aria Fani told KOMO News Eygi graduated from the university in June and said she had studied psychology and Middle Eastern languages and cultures. He described Eygi as kind-hearted and deeply curious. “She had smiling eyes that just recognized the humanity of whoever she spoke with,” Fani...

Starliner has finally come home, more than three months after it launched on a planned 10-day mission.. Starliner's long space odyssey is over. The Boeing capsule, named Calypso, returned to Earth early this morning (Sept. 7), touching down in the New Mexico desert at 12:01 a.m. EDT (0401 GMT; 11:01 p.m. local time on Sept. 6). "Great landing of Calyspo!" NASA astronaut Suni Williams said on the agency's webcast. "I don't think that could have gone better." The landing was long-delayed, coming more than three months into an orbital mission originally expected to last about 10 days. And, while Starliner...

A top Wall Street dealmaker left an elite New York investment bank after his bosses found out he allegedly had an affair with a younger co-worker on his team.. Adam Taetle stepped down as senior managing director at Evercore — the firm founded by deep-pocketed Democratic Party operative Roger Altman — following an HR probe into the relationship... The reportedly randy rainmaker — a married father of three — exited the firm amid claims of “having a sexual relationship with a female junior employee on his team ... Evercore was founded in 1995 by Altman after he quit the first...

Discount home goods retailer Big Lots is preparing to file for bankruptcy as early as this Sunday and plans to sell its chain of stores through a court-supervised process.. The company will remain in operation under Chapter 11 protection, the report said, and is currently in the process of securing a stalking horse bid, which means that the bid could be outdone if better offers emerge. Earlier in the day, the retailer announced the postponement of its second-quarter earnings release, which had been scheduled for Friday. The company now expects to report results on Sept. 12. ... Big Lots, a...

The AP lied about JD Vance’s response to the Georgia shooting, and the New York Times’s publisher went to the WaPo to complain about Trump as a threat to the media. Beginning in 2007, to get Obama into office, the media abandoned objectivity, even while still claiming to be objective. In 2016, a New York Times writer argued that Trump was such a unique threat that “journalism shouldn’t measure itself against any one campaign’s definition of fairness.” Objectivity, he said, was “untenable.” And just the other day, James Carville, the architect of Bill Clinton’s 1992 victory, issued marching orders to...

Here's the full transcript (formatted by ChatGPT): Lex Fridman: I don't know if you know this, but some people call you a fascist. Donald Trump: Yeah, they do. So I figure it's all right to call them a communist. Yeah, they call me a lot worse than I call them. Lex Fridman: A lot of people listening to this, myself included, don’t think that Kamala is a communist. Donald Trump: Well, she's a Marxist. Her father's a Marxist. That's right. Lex Fridman: I believe you have to fight fire with fire. Donald Trump: Politics is a dirty game. Lex Fridman:...

Next month, October 7, will mark the first anniversary of Hamas' surprise attack on Israel, in which over 1,100 Israelis -- mostly civilians -- were ruthlessly murdered in their homes. The chaotic political fallout that ensued afterward would involve the occupation of college campuses across the United States by protesters denouncing Zionism and colonialism, as well as the declaration that Israel was somehow an "apartheid state," despite that definitionally not being the case. Any mourning for the victims of Hamas' attack was quickly drowned out by extremist American college students some 6,000 miles away who arrogantly believe a handful of...

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Friday that he will vote for Democrat Kamala Harris over fellow Republican Donald Trump in the November election, warning that the former president “can never be trusted with power again.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration allocated nearly $449,000 in taxpayer money to a left-wing legal nonprofit as part of an apparent “sue-and-settlement” plan that put the first transgender inmate in a state women’s prison, The Post can exclusively reveal. In 2023, the Democratic vice presidential nominee’s office shelled out $448,904 to Saint Paul-based Gender Justice, one year after the nonprofit filed a sex discrimination complaint against Minnesota’s Department of Corrections (DOC), according to a review of public records shared with The Post by the taxpayer watchdog group OpenTheBooks.com. The complaint argued that the DOC was discriminating by housing the transgender...

Even seasoned detectives who were part of an elite squad were left shocked by the mammoth number of men they found gathering in a secret online space to share sickening child abuse material, with babies among the young victims depicted. Strike Force Parker was established by New South Wales Police early last year after a Zoom room comprising more than 500 alleged pedophiles was uncovered. The Child Exploitation Internet Unit led an international effort to unmask those who met regularly to view broadcast vision and images, teaming up with the Australian Federal Police and forces in Victoria, Queensland and Western...

As vice president, Kamala Harris has co-led the first administration in American history that cannot definitively say what a woman is. Her administration's uncertainty over this biological certainty has not just been philosophical. Within the first 100 days of taking office, Joe Biden and Harris unveiled Executive Order 13988 to "prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation." Veiled in faulty legal analysis, the directive set the entire federal government on a crusade for genderlessness in every aspect of American society—including employment, housing, health care, and education—the practical effect of which has been decidedly bad...

Join with fellow FREEPERS across the world to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Agri-Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, Technology, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2) THE REASON THE CHURCH HAS SO LITTLE INFLUENCE OVER THE WORLD IS BECAUSE THE WORLD HAS SO MUCH INFLUENCE OVER THE CHURCH (Charles Spurgeon)

(RNS) — Leaders of The Meeting House, a Toronto area megachurch with multiple locations and once one of the largest congregations in Canada, has shut down its public ministry, becoming a consortium of smaller congregations. “It is with sadness that we are required to bring the public-facing ministry of The Meeting House to an end as of August 29,” according to a statement posted on the church’s website. “Going forward, there will no longer be churches operating programs or doing ministry under the banner of The Meeting House.” The church’s remote sites will be rebranded as the “BIC Church Collective,”...
