The Democrat Governor of Kansas said she will NOT use state forces to assist President Trump and Tom Homan in their mass deportation operation. Kansas is a pure red state yet somehow they keep letting a deranged liberal lunatic govern them. Kansas, get her out of office.

The Department of Justice and FBI provided only “limited cooperation” to the House task force investigating assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump, according to the task force’s final report. Among recommendations offered in the final report, which include reconsidering whether the Secret Service should remain within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and limiting protection for foreign leaders, the task force wrote that Congress needs to “clarify its right” to obtain information related to law enforcement investigations. “With respect to the assassination attempt in Butler, the Task Force’s requests for information were characterized by the FBI as implicating ‘significant law...

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a case related to a sham marriage for immigration purposes that federal courts cannot review visa revocations, affirming that such decisions are at the discretion of the Department of Homeland Security.The unanimous ruling clarified that while courts can review initial visa denials, they lack the authority to intervene once DHS revokes an approved visa.

Albertsons said Wednesday that it has terminated a $25 billion merger agreement with Kroger and will sue the grocery giant, alleging the company didn’t do enough to get the deal done. Judges in Washington and Oregon on Tuesday blocked the deal, delivering a win to federal regulators and consumer advocates who argued the merger could harm competition, consumers and workers and push prices up. “Rather than fulfill its contractual obligations to ensure that the merger succeeded, Kroger acted in its own financial self-interest, repeatedly providing insufficient divestiture proposals that ignored regulators’ concerns. Kroger’s self-serving conduct, taken at the expense of...

Few jobs require less physical exertion than rebounding for Caitlin Clark. On an early-November morning in downtown Indianapolis, Clark, the two-time college national player of the year for the University of Iowa, reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year from the Indiana Fever, and emergent American sports icon, sprints to different spots along the three-point line at the Fever practice gym, trying to bang as many shots as possible over a six-minute span. A Fever coach has tasked me with standing under the basket to retrieve her misses. But as Clark runs all over the court to launch long-range bombs, I...

The mysterious drones that have been tormenting New Jersey residents for weeks could be part of a top-secret government program, security experts told The Post Tuesday — as lawmakers push for answers over the troubling sightings. The feds have been mum about the daily drone activity in Morris, Passaic, Bergen and Hunterdon counties and beyond since the gizmos were first spotted on Nov. 18. But several experts said the US government might be behind the unsettling flights — which could be part of a super-secret military program meant to test new hardware before it hits the battlefield. “My first guess...

Prices rose at the fastest pace in four months in November, the second consecutive month of accelerating inflation. The consumer price index rose 2.7 percent from a year earlier, the Department of Labor said Wednesday. Core inflation, a metric that excludes volatile food and energy prices, climbed 3.3 percent over the previous 12 months. The results matched the forecasts of economists surveyed by Econoday. Compared with a month ago, the broad index of consumer prices rose 0.3 percent, the fastest pace of inflation since March. If that pace of inflation were to continue for a year, prices would rise 3.8...

A Chinese national has been arrested on suspicion of flying a drone to take photographs over a US Space Force base. Federal police arrested Yinpiao Zhou on Monday after he was allegedly caught flying a drone over the Vandenberg Space Force Base, in California. In a criminal complaint, the US Attorney’s Office said Mr Zhou flew a drone over the base and took photographs on Nov 30 – the same day it launched a rocket on behalf of the National Reconnaissance Office.

We’ve railed against the use of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) for years so it's gratifying to see that these NGOs are finally getting the attention that they deserve. At their core, NGOs are nothing more than an off-the-books form of shadow government. They exist primarily to enact policies that our out-of-control federal agencies want to establish, but are legally prohibited from doing so. NGOs have been used to push a variety of State Department agendas in foreign countries and they’ve been at the forefront of government-directed censorship that has plagued our country - and effectively killed free speech in the UK...

In the 1995 film version of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, the noble Col. Brandon refers to Mr. Willoughby as “the worst of libertines,” a word not much used today but common in Austen’s time. A libertine was an unrestrained, sensual person who put his own desires ahead of what was decent and acceptable. A libertine flouted moral principles, and his conduct (and there were female libertines as well) was condemned as immoral by all right-thinking persons. Today, there is less moral consensus regarding personal behavior, and this loss is reflected in every aspect of our culture. Many don’t know...

A disgruntled Utah man smashed his car into the storefront of a dealership he had bought it from earlier that day after he was allegedly denied a refund when he discovered his new ride had mechanical issues. Michael Lee Murray, 35, bought a used Subaru Outback from the Tim Dahle Mazda Southtowne car dealership in Sandy, a city in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, for $4,000 on Monday morning, according to Fox 13 News. However, Murray alleged that he was sold a “lemon” — a vehicle whose manufacturing issues jeopardize the driver’s safety — soon after he snagged the...

Over and over again, the cluelessness of the Biden administration has people's heads shaking, hitting desks, or simply thrown back in disgusted astonishment. TELL ME HE DIDN'T SAY THAT Their complete inability to grasp any given situation was on display again yesterday as our diffident and generally incompetent Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, wandered out to a podium to mumble a few words on the state of the insurgency that had just conquered Syria. I don't know what I was expecting from this misbegotten spore off the old White House mushroom, but it most assuredly wasn't what came out of...

An illegal immigrant who had already been ordered deported escaped from a detention center in Virginia by using bed sheets before going on the lam for five days. Dennis Arnoldo Zeledon Hernandez was sentenced to a year and six months in prison for the daring escape from the Bowling Green lockup on July 2, 2023, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday. The Salvadoran migrant had landed in ICE custody following his May 14, 2023 arrest in York, Va., for DUI, carrying a concealed weapon and child neglect. ... He left a building at the Caroline Detention Facility, ran across...

Shortly after Donald Trump’s stunning election to a nonconsecutive second term, Vanity Fair released a digital cover for the event. Alongside a close-up of The Don staring with grim determination into the camera, there was a litany of damnations: “34 Felony Counts. 1 Conviction. 2 Cases Pending. 2 Impeachments. 6 Bankruptcies.” And then the kicker: “4 More Years. The 47th American President.” In case there was any doubt of Vanity Fair’s tone — horrified incredulity that such a man could be restored to our highest office — associate editor Eric Lutz explained: “Four years after launching an unprecedented attack on...

The Shasta County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 on Tuesday afternoon to declare the December election results "under duress." Two board members, Mary Rickert and Tim Garman, refuted the declaration and the other three supervisors felt they were forced to vote in favor of the decision by the state. The declaration is largely ceremonial, Registrar of Voters Tom Toller explained as results were certified and sent to the Secretary of State on Tuesday, Dec. 3.

A New Jersey state senator is calling for a limited state of emergency over the mysterious drones that have been seen flying over New Jersey in recent weeks. "The State of New Jersey should issue a limited state of emergency banning all drones until the public receives an explanation regarding these multiple sightings," Republican state Sen. Jon Bramnick said in a statement Tuesday. The call came amid numerous recent drone sightings reported across New Jersey in recent weeks. The drones are larger than the type typically used by hobbyists, officials and eyewitnesses have said.

Video only. This will make your blood boil. The child fell and the school staff ignored his cries until finally calling his mother and saying he refused to get up from the floor. Video shows them just sitting around watching the poor child. He had a broken femur and was in pain. No wonder he was crying!

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Thursday, Dec. 1864. Yesterday morning at daylight, the Fifth Corps, with the Third Division of the Second and two brigades of GREGG'S cavalry, started South. They were heard from yesterday afternoon, and had crossed the Nottaway River, on the Jerusalem road, without meeting opposition of any consequence. They crossed on pontoons, which they took up after doing so. Deserters who came into our lines this morning state that MAHONE's rebel division was sent off yesterday to meet our advancing force, but as no firing has been heard in that direction to-day, it is not believed...
