Drone activity in New Jersey has now spread to their New York neighbors as the Biden regime continues to ignore the developing crisis. ABC 7 News New York reported on Thursday that an airport in the Stewart International Airport in Orange County, New York was shut down Friday night. This airport is located roughly 60 miles north of New York City.

This is the dramatic moment a Ukrainian aircraft-style drone explodes after flying into a Russian special forces base more than 700 miles from the front line. Several drones reportedly struck the OMON police unit in Grozny, and a base from where troops are sent to fight against Ukraine. Loud explosions were reported in the city, which is the capital of Chechnya, a region headed by Putin warlord Ramzan Kadyrov, who has sent tens of thousands of troops to the war. Shooting was heard in attempts to down the pilotless plane loaded with explosives, but there appeared a lack of air...

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Dec. 14. The following telegram has been received at the War Department: HILTON HEAD, S.C., Monday, Dec. 12, 1864, via FORTRESS MONROE, Wednesday, Dec. 14. To major-Gen. Halleck, Chief of Staff: GENERAL: Capt. DUNCAN, of Gen. HOWARD's Scouts, has just come in from Gen. HOWARD, having descended the Ogeechee River in a small boat. He left the army on the evening of the 9th. Gen. SHERMAN's whole army was then within ten miles of Savannah, advancing to attack it. The enemy's works, five miles from the city, were probably attacked yesterday, as heavy firing was heard in that...

Australian TV presenter Erin Molan defended her views in a video posted to social media on Friday, particularly regarding the Israel-Hamas war, following her firing by Sky News Australia earlier this week. The Daily Mail Australia, which first reported on Molan’s dismissal, did not explain why she was let go and said Sky News Australia defined the end of her tenure there as “amicable.” “Erin has been a fantastic member of the Sky News team over the past three years and has worked incredibly hard for her viewers, passionately advocating on the issues close to her heart,” a Sky News...

The Killeen Police Department was dispatched early Wednesday morning after an exchange of gunfire between individuals allegedly stealing a car and the car’s owner, according to KPD. Police spokeswoman Ofelia Miramontez said a resident was in his home at the 4400 block of Jeff Scott Drive when he heard one of his vehicles being started up in his driveway. He found that his sedan was being stolen after he went to investigate. The resident followed the stolen vehicle in a Tahoe. When the driver in the stolen vehicle pulled into a cul-de-sac on Eula Bea Court, the vehicle’s owner stopped...

As the true scale of German war crimes committed during the 1940s eventually became known, the public response across the West was one of outrage and disbelief. That the native country of such master spirits as Immanuel Kant, Johann W. von Goethe, and Ludwig van Beethoven could also have bred the vile Nazi mob looked like a mystery. It was such a long way from the creation of philosophy, poetry, and symphonic music, respectively, to the implementation of fake-scientific, inhumane eugenics after the seizure of power by Adolf Hitler. And the distance between good and evil became infinitely long as...

Having antipathy towards Donald Trump seems to be almost a job requirement at Politico. However, even among the TDS crowd their senior staff writer Ankush Khardori seems to be an extreme standout. As has already been revealed at NewsBusters, Khardori absolutely despises Trump to the extent that last July, he urged that the J6 trial be dramatically sped up in order to convict him before election day. Therefore you have to wonder what is going on in the eyes of Politico management that Khardori was allowed to make the case against choosing Patel as the next FBI director? They have...

...In what was hailed as one of the funniest opening monologues in recent times, Rock placed comedy above politics as he took swipes at both sides of the political spectrum...'Trump had a good year, man,' Rock said. 'Trump survived an assassination attempt. Won the presidency again by winning the popular vote. Was just named 'Time' man of the year...'A lot of people are scared. Like, "oh, my God, he's going to be so undignified." When I say a lot of people, I'm talking about the nine New Yorkers that didn't vote for him, okay?', Rock said, poking fun at liberals...'Come...

This may be a problem that readers outside of New York don’t care much about, but it is symptomatic of important issues in our society. The MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) is the New York State (not City) agency that runs our transit system — subways, buses, and commuter rail lines. To ride the subways and buses, you are supposed to pay the fare on entering the subway system or boarding the bus. The MTA has long had a problem with customers who don’t pay the fare, either evading the turnstiles in the subway or just boarding the bus without paying....

A representative of the 57-year-old said he "had to get stitches and is recovering" after the incident at Mr Chow's restaurant in Beverly Hills. They told Sky News' US partner network NBC News that someone at another table "threw a glass that hit him in the mouth" and the matter is now in "law enforcement's hands". It comes as Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) said they received a call shortly after 10pm local time on Friday about a "possible assault with a deadly weapon" at the restaurant. Officers arrived at the scene and determined the report was "unfounded" and that...

A few years ago, automakers were celebrating record profits as the pandemic created shortages of new cars, allowing them to raise prices. Now the hangover is setting in. Nissan, the Japanese automaker, is laying off 9,000 employees. Volkswagen is considering closing factories in Germany for the first time. The chief executive of the U.S. and European automaker Stellantis, which owns Jeep, Peugeot, Fiat and other brands, quit after sales tumbled. Even luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz are struggling. Each carmaker has its own problems, but there are some common threads. They include a tricky and expensive technological transition, political...

"We can fairly mark this down to Biden’s native ineptitude: Any careful review of his career reveals him to be — no apology for my word choice — very stupid." — Patrick Lawrence. From The New York Times: Do you detect the conspicuous lack of conviction in DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the Jan 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol building, which has been the central device for defeating the populist revolt against the treasonous DC blob? And did you notice that it took him four years to report on the event? Weird, a little bit, ya...

Archaeologists have discovered a road in Utrecht that led to the Traiectum fortress in Roman times, which was built about 2,000 years ago on the site of the current Domplein. The discovery was made last week during archeological research in connection with upcoming construction work, the municipality of Utrecht reported on Wednesday. According to the municipality, the find is “of great importance for our knowledge of Roman Utrecht and the border community around it.”The northern border of the Roman Empire went straight through the Netherlands, past the Rijn River. Part of these so-called limes (the Latin word for border) was...

Open Letter To Mark Williams: For Heritage And Freedom Dear Mark, you and your dad now stand together in a grassroots arts display at a national heritage site in the fourth biggest country in the world, the Republic Of Indonesia. The site, Air Kaca, is sacred to the memory of General Douglas MacArthur, sometimes known as The Saviour Of Australia. I find it amazing, Mark, that your dad achieved everything he achieved in football, after starting his senior career at the age of 24, because for five years he sacrificed playing sport to join the fight against fascism and imperialism...

The Saturday edition of The Weekend devoted a segment to the Dems' intraparty squabble over House committee positions, and in particular to AOC's attempt to supplant Gerry Connolly as the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee. The co-hosts and guests all expressed support for AOC. Former Obama HUD Secretary Julian Castro: "I think it's inevitable, though, after an election where you had voters send a strong message, that Democrats need to adjust their message. And they need, I think, more of a fighting spirit, and a focus like I think AOC and others have had. So I'm hopeful that...

When I served as a judicial officer, I leaned into the originalist philosophy championed by Justice Antonin Scalia. His wisdom — that judges must adhere to the Constitution and the law as written, not as they wish it to be — served as a lodestar. As Scalia famously remarked, “The Constitution is not a living document — it is a legal document.” This sharp declaration underscores a vital truth: the Constitution is not a chameleon, changing with the political winds or cultural trends. It is a fixed, enduring framework meant to safeguard liberty and ensure the rule of law. Judges...

Former President Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Joe Biden nomination — and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years. As such, he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history. Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Biden lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere. Obama and fellow Democratic insiders abruptly engineered the withdrawal of his rival 2020 presidential candidates: hard left but likely sure-loser candidates including...
