    The Boston City Council voted unanimously to retain its status as a sanctuary city on Wednesday night, to “protect” illegal immigrants from president elect Donald Trump’s immigration policy. All thirteen council members voted to reaffirm the city’s Boston Trust Act, which “delineates the distinct roles and responsibilities of the Boston Police Department from those of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), thereby promoting trust between local law enforcement and immigrant communities.” In other words, the act severely limits to what extent local authorities can work with federal immigration authorities. “It’s not just a policy, but it is a promise...

    Is it that hard to deliver small trailers for survivors of a monstrous hurricane? Well, to FEMA, Joe Biden's emergency management agency it is. Here are the sorry leavings: Matt Van Swol @matt_vanswol 🚨#BREAKING: FEMA was caught on tape saying that the reason they have only delivered 27 trailers to a county in #WNC is because: "There are a lot of mountains..."

    Outgoing President Joe Biden’s move of pardoning his corrupt son, Hunter Biden, is angering some Democrats who are threatening to withhold funding for his future presidential library. The president's decision to pardon his son, despite previously insisting he would not, has sparked mixed reactions—both from the public and within his own party. Some Democratic lawmakers are so angered by the move that they consider directing their "rage" at his library project.
  • A Safe Bet: Politicized Consensus "Science" Is Wrong

    Today has been a good day for the incipient unraveling of a couple of major categories of the fake “consensus” orthodox science that have plagued us for the past few years. One such category is transgenderism, where activists seek the provision of “gender affirming care” to any young person claiming to suffer from “gender dysphoria.” This morning the Supreme Court heard oral argument in a case called United States v. Skrmetti, where the Court is asked to rule that Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and hormone therapy for teens claiming to be “transgender” violates their constitutional rights. A second such...

    TTT TELL THE TRUTH. TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF THE CRIMINAL PREDATORS DECIMATING OUR COUNTRY We see the lies of the OLD MEDIA. The illegal invaders who commit crimes in our towns, cities, neighborhoods are tagged with our community and sometimes our state as their origin. Stop the lie. Append FOREIGN NATIONAL to EVERY headline. If the origin is known...that is the descriptor. These people are not us. Not Americans. Call them what they are!

  • Torrent of Anger for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing

    New York Times ^ | Dec 5, 2024 | Dionne Searcey and Madison Malone Kircher
    The fatal shooting on Wednesday of a top UnitedHealthcare executive, Brian Thompson, on a Manhattan sidewalk has unleashed a torrent of morbid glee from patients and others who say they have had negative experiences with health insurance companies at some of the hardest times of their lives. It is unclear what motivated the incident or whether it was tied to Mr. Thompson’s work in the insurance industry. The police have yet to identify the shooter who is still on the loose. But that did not stop social media commenters from leaping to conclusions and from showing a blatant lack of...
  • GOP Senator: Kash Patel Has the Votes to Be Confirmed as FBI Director

    Kash Patel is striking fear into the hearts of the Department of Justice workers, both current and former. He was briefly smeared as a crazy person and a Trump loyalist who would smash up the agency. I didn’t need any more convincing regarding the pick—I want him. Any person disgraced former FBI official Andrew McCabe finds deplorable is the right choice. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), once viewed as Mitch McConnell’s heir apparent, declared on Hugh Hewitt’s show that Mr. Patel has enough votes for confirmation. “Yes, he will be [confirmed],” Cornyn told Hewitt yesterday.

  • Culture of life? UnitedHealthcare CEO's murder mocked and celebrated by far-left

    Following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday, some far-left journalists and social media users were quick to offer celebratory, mocking or sneering reactions to his shocking death. Former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz was among these voices, having shared multiple posts appearing to at least understand the killing while suggesting other health insurance executives should be targeted. "And people wonder why we want these executives dead," Lorenz wrote, referencing Thompson’s death in a Bluesky post with a report about Blue Cross Blue Shield no longer covering anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries....

    CHILLING footage shows Putin’s minions grabbing terrified civilians off the streets and forcing them to sign up for Vlad’s meatgrinder army. The kidnapping of a young man was caught on camera, with the video showing huge uniformed officers hauling him from a car despite his protests. He is ripped from the vehicle, manhandled and frogmarched away - likely delivered to a conscription office, according to the footage from Astra media outlet. It is illegal in Russia for the police to deliver people to conscription offices, but these cops are taking no notice. Separate footage shows dozens of migrant workers who...

    The time has come for the new Trump team to think about big ideas for a brighter future for mankind. It’s always been a perennial lie of the political left to falsely claim they’re all about fresh ideas, bringing in “new” winds of change, and that communism has never really been tried before. Anyone with a passing familiarity with history knows that’s a colossal pile of B.S., but if they can bluff their way along, they can hawk their societal slavery once again. The strains of collectivist control of the economy were in the cards in the last election, and...

    President-elect Trump has nominated Kash Patel to be the next FBI director, a person with an extensive background in national security and intelligence. Patel's experience ranges from personally carrying out dangerous missions in the Middle East in an effort to bring home U.S. hostages to implementing counterterrorism strategies against America’s most-wanted terrorists. Current and former U.S. national security officials and lawmakers say that when looking at his résumé "objectively," he is "one of the most experienced people ever to be nominated" to lead the bureau. During the first Trump administration, Patel served as a deputy assistant to Trump and as...

    Health insurance companies have started removing images of their leadership teams from their websites following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The 50-year-old was murdered on Wednesday morning when a masked gunman unloaded several rounds outside of the Hilton Hotel in Midtown, Manhattan.

His company took down his image and other executives' photos on Wednesday, while CVS Health removed pictures of all of their top executives on Thursday. Robert D'Amico, founder of...
