"He's emerged a significant player in Republican politics. There are rumors he wants to run for governor."

The Cabinet move came in response to "numerous articles that harmed the legitimacy of the State of Israel in the world and its right to self-defense." (Nov. 24, 2024 / JNS) Israeli government ministers on Sunday voted to cut all connection with the left-wing Haaretz daily. The Cabinet decision came, according to a statement from Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi’s office, in response to “numerous articles that harmed the legitimacy of the State of Israel in the world and its right to self-defense, particularly in light of the recent statements by the publisher of Haaretz, Amos Schocken, who expressed support for...

In a fiery appearance on Face the Nation, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) issued a stern warning to Denver Mayor Mike Johnston over his open defiance of federal immigration laws and President Trump’s promised deportation efforts. “You know, I’m 100% supportive of going after the 15,000 murderers, the 13,000 sexual assault perpetrators, rapists—let’s send them on their way to prison or back home to another prison,” Paul asserted. However, he made it clear that such efforts must not involve deploying the U.S. Army domestically, a move Paul deemed both unconstitutional and dangerous. “We’ve had a long-standing distrust of putting the Army...

The Russian president made additional comments on the new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile system at a meeting in the Kremlin on Friday evening with senior officials from the Ministry of Defense and representatives of the defense industry.Russia already has a stockpile of Oreshnik missile systems, and a decision on the system's mass production has been made, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced. "We will continue these tests, including in combat conditions, depending on the situation and the nature of the security threats that are created for Russia, especially since we already have a stockpile of such systems ready for use,"...

Over the years, Donald Trump has considered all sorts of melodramatic solutions to what he perceives is an immigration crisis in the USA: mass deportations, an alligator-filled moat, an electrified wall. It turns out all he had to do was win another presidential election and wait. Because if even half the number of liberal celebrities who’ve claimed they’ll flee to seek refuge abroad really do go, net migration should be balanced in no time. Call it The Donald Dash, The Trump Jump or the Maga Stagger, but report after report emerging from the other side of the Atlantic suggests the...

Ezra Levant .. I was arrested two hours ago, handcuffed, searched and jailed for “causing a disturbance”. I was just released moments ago. I wasn’t causing a disturbance — I was standing by myself on a public sidewalk, silently filming a grotesque pro-Hamas mannequin in a Jewish neighbourhood — a reenactment of Hamas leader Yayha Sinwar. It would be like someone reenacting Hitler — and police were stopping me from filming it. I was pushed away from it by one officer. And another officer, named Macduff, said if I didn’t go to a special “free speech zone” they’d set up...

Donald Trump is planning an executive order that would lead to the removal of all transgender members of the US military, defence sources say. The order could come on his first day back in the White House, January 20. There are believed to be about 15,000 active service personnel who are transgender. They would be medically discharged, which would determine that they were unfit to serve.

Hi, Do window air conditioners draw more current when they get old? I had one in the bathroom. Toward the end of the summer, it was tripping the GFCI quite a bit. It had not done that in past summers. I got tired of resetting the GFCI. The air conditioner is heavy; I got around to taking it down just now. I've had a space heater in the bathroom plugged into the GFCI for a few weeks. It has not been tripping -- I'm thinking the space heater draws less current than the air conditioner even in the best of...

I see some news articles on impoundment, which is the main plan to reduce government spending by not spending the money that congress appropriates to support various government activities…Can Trump do it? Can they override the 1974 law restricting iimpoundment and the 1975 Supreme Court ruling supporting the law? At its worst impoundment defies the will of the people. At its best impoundment stops government spending on activities that are no longer justified (eg. a regulation has been revoked so why keep employing the enforcement arm for that regulation?).

Russia has warned that its new missile could be used against the US, and has warned of the possibility of a nuclear strike in Ukraine. Joe Rogan has an audience of more than 14 million. Podcaster Joe Rogan accused President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of trying to “start World War III.” Referring to Biden having recently approved Zelensky’s request to use long range U.S.-made missiles to attack deep inside Russia, Rogan said on Friday, “How are you allowed to do that when you’re on your way out?” adding, “There should be some sort of pause for significant...

Video Sources from Ukraine confirm that Dnipro (Dnipropetrovsk), Ukraine, was a major facility for manufacturing missiles from Western components and relabeling them “made in Ukraine” to shelter the Western suppliers in the NATO war against Russia. The Russian ICBM attack utterly destroyed the Yuzhmash manufacturing, which was an industrial giant even during the USSR. It made rockets during the former USSR and intercontinental missiles for the USSR. According to sources, the Yuzhmash plant no longer exists. Most of the facility was underground. Ukraine was manufacturing drones and rocket engines, and this was where they assembled their weapons. There were three...

In March 2024, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued its most recent “Annual Threat Assessment,” focusing primarily on foreign threats. Last month, the Department of Homeland security issued its “2025 Homeland Threat Assessment” concluding that the threat of Domestic and Foreign Terrorism in the Homeland Remains High. The first threat identified by DHS was “potential violent extremist responses to domestic sociopolitical developments — particularly the 2024 election cycle….” Remember, that assessment gives the view of DHS Secretary Mayorkas who has kept our border flung open to all comers for four years. While useful collections of information, these...

It was one of Joe Biden’s first moves as president (and a message to the country on how he would rule): shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline, a 1,200-mile Canada-to-Nebraska crude project that would have employed thousands of workers and transported up to 830,000 barrels of oil per day. Now President-elect Donald Trump reportedly wants to send his own message and restart the project, and although bringing it back to life would present numerous hurdles, oil workers are reportedly ecstatic over the idea. "It's a breath of fresh air. We're running on cloud nine," former Keystone Pipeline worker Bugsy Allen...
