Four former supporters of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump are planning a fireside chat in Pennsylvania to make their case against the 45th president. The former supporters include former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and former White House aides Cassidy Hutchinson, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Sarah Matthews, according to CNN. Cheney, Matthews and and Hutchinson have all endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. The fireside chat is slated Oct. 9 outside of Philadelphia. A source told the outlet that the women will “offer a warning about the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy and the rule of law." They will...

Much of the scrutiny on so-called gender affirming care in the U.S. was made possible by the American medical establishment's own public recordings of practitioners candidly discussing the gruesome and lucrative nature of surgeries, hormone therapy and the lifelong medical management they require, and how to overcome parental opposition to child transitions. Perhaps the most oft-cited authority promoting puberty blockers, which the Food and Drug Administration has known increase suicidality since 2017, belatedly ensured a vocal critic of the organization couldn't get further ammunition to stir up trouble at its annual conference last week in Orlando, where the featured speaker...

British lawmakers will soon consider whether to give terminally ill adults a choice to end their own lives with medical assistance, after what proponents say is a shift in public opinion since a similar measure was rejected a decade ago. Kim Leadbeater, a lawmaker from Britain's governing Labour Party who won a ballot giving her the right to introduce a bill on a subject of her choice, confirmed on Thursday that she would present a bill on assisted dying on Oct. 16. "I ... strongly believe that we should give people facing the most unbearable end to their life a...

Billionaire Elon Musk criticized the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for its response to the deadly hurricane ravaging several U.S. states. In a tweet, Musk accused FEMA of purposely withholding aid from residents in need and “actively blocking” Starlink satellite internet deliveries to damaged areas hit by the storm after receiving a notice from the company’s engineer is “actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own.” “FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!" Musk wrote on...

Those of us who obsess about politics have a good handle on who Kamala Harris is. The team of old Obama hands running her for president means to keep the rest of the country in the dark. They confine her to tightly scripted appearances. They do not trust her to speak extemporaneously. She might be exposed for who she is. In unscripted events she is not to stray from memorized lines. As a candidate, she is a deepfake. Yesterday Harris received the endorsement of former NBA star Magic Johnson (full video of Magic here). Magic is one of several Athletes...

This week, Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino unveiled a massive, $150,000 ‘Vote for Trump’ sign on top of the tallest building in Amsterdam, NY. The sign is meant to symbolize American manufacturing coming back to America, with the location being a fitting due to the factory building it is a-fixed on top of being vacant for over 40 years following the closing of Fownes Brothers and Co., a glove manufacturer that shut down U.S. operations in 1984 and moved to China, decimating Amsterdam. But when Constantino brought Sticker Mule to the city in 2010, things began to turn around. As...

As Monty Python's Flying Circus marks its 55th anniversary, the top 10 episodes have been ranked on IMDb - but an iconic sketch has missed out on the top spot.

Marine biologists are taking a closer look after the remains of a young minke whale washed ashore in New Jersey Friday — less than 24 hours after another dead whale was found floating off Staten Island. On Thursday, the U.S. Coast Guard spotted a 16- to 18-foot-long whale “floating in the Lower Bay/Raritan Bay area.” A tracking tag was planted on the carcass, which federal investigators with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration anticipate will land near Sandy Hook, NJ, within days. Once ashore, the deceased animal will be examined.

How can America or any society survive when moral relativism and political correctness are embraced and exalted and sound morality is scoffed at and demonized by both political parties? The answer is, “It will not!” Thus, we now see the sad estate of our nation and are witnessing its coming downfall. America as a nation has abandoned Almighty God and our Founding Father's ideals years ago, but with this nation's outright rejection at present of any sound moral principles there is no where left to go but into a perpetual state of lawlessness, anarchy, tyranny and despotism. With this nation's...

Pearl-clutching leaders, biased media, and delusional demonstrators are outraged by the ingenuity and lethality of Israel’s ongoing campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon. On Sept 25th, Pentagon’s spokeswoman Sabrina Singh assured reporters that “the U.S. is not providing intelligence to support Israel’s operations.”

Most independents who say they are voting for Kamala Harris admit that it is mostly a vote “against” former President Donald Trump rather than a vote in favor of the vice president, whereas most independents voting for Trump say it is, indeed, a vote in favor of the former president. A survey from the Economist/YouGov asked supporters of both Trump and Harris if they are mostly voting “for” their candidate or “against” the other. Across the board, roughly one-third of Harris voters said they are mostly voting “AGAINST” Trump, while 65 percent said they are not voting “FOR” Harris. In...

BREAKING: Butler Trump Rally Secret Service Snipers Finally got over their Fear of Sloped Roofs.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, SUNDAY, October 2, 1864 -- Evening. No fighting has occurred on this line to-day. The rebels fell back this morning to their main line of works, which runs from the lead works to the South-side road, or near it. This position of the rebels is a very strong one, and cannot easily be carried. A division of the Second Corps advanced to the Boynton road, over which the enemy wagon their supplies to Petersburgh. Two lines of works were found unoccupied, only a skirmish line opposing the advance, and falling back as our...
