On January 26, 1945, Audie Murphy and some 40 U.S. troops sat shivering in a frigid, snow-covered clearing near the Alsatian town of Holtzwihr. The battle-weary soldiers had been ordered to hold a vital roadway until reinforcements arrived, but the operation was delayed and the promised relief was nowhere to be seen. Just after 2 p.m., the winter stillness was suddenly broken by the thunderclap of an enemy artillery barrage. In the distance, some 250 German troops and six tanks emerged from the woods. As he watched the Germans line up for an attack, Murphy felt a wave of panic...

The summary of the article without all of the lying woke verbiage is simple that The Economist outlines how Indian colonists agitate for India's Prime Minister in the U.K. and lobby for the India's foreign policy in the countries they have invaded.

ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — The Drug Enforcement Administration detained roughly 50 people in Adams County early Sunday morning at what the special agent in charge called an invitation-only Tren de Aragua party. Denver7 Investigates' cameras exclusively captured video around 5:45 a.m. along the 6600 block of Federal Boulevard in Adams County, showing agents rounding up people and escorting them onto a bus. Most of the people detained are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. According to Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen, the DEA was executing a federal search warrant at a vacant property where a...

Brazil's government expressed outrage on Saturday after dozens of immigrants deported from the United States arrived by plane in handcuffs, calling it a "flagrant disregard" for their rights. The foreign ministry said it would demand an explanation from Washington over the "degrading treatment of passengers on the flight". The government said 88 Brazilians were aboard the aircraft. Edgar Da Silva Moura, a 31-year-old computer technician, was on the flight, after seven months in detention in the United States. "On the plane they didn't give us water, we were tied hands and feet, they wouldn't even let us go to the...

President Trump used his authority to strip the security clearances of those who can't be trusted from the 51 former US intelligence officials who signed a letter warning that Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian disinformation campaign. The 51 said "our national security experience made us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case." As a matter of fact, there was no evidence that Russia was in any way connected with Hunter's laptop. The FBI had already verified it was really Hunter's laptop in 2019, although this information was not publicly revealed until after Joe...

Colombia’s leader, President Petro, says his country will not be party to President Trump’s mass deportation plan — which includes flying migrants to their home countries from America — unless there is “dignified treatment” for those migrants. Mr. Petro is just the latest left-wing Latin American head of state to push back against Mr. Trump’s signature immigration policy. In a statement posted to X on Sunday, Mr

so, this happened today: for all that pardoning fauci is horrific (and it is) pardoning the jan 6 committee members may well be worse. these people lied and buried evidence to support absurd and over-charged prosecutions for blatantly partisan purposes. biden has essentially pardoned his co-conspirators in a coup and a 4 year show trial of lawfare against political opponents and the suppression of the data, footage, and testimony that would have laid plain how outlandish and unjust this was and wrecked the “trump is a lawless fascist who tried to stage an insurrection” narrative to which so much of...

Vice President JD Vance fired back at the US Conference of Catholic Bishops over its denunciation of the Trump administration rule change allowing ICE raids in churches and schools. Last week, the religious group slammed the move for “turning places of care, healing, and solace into places of fear and uncertainty for those in need” and warned that it endangers “the trust between pastors” and “the people they serve.” “As a practicing Catholic, I was actually heartbroken by that statement,” Vance, 40, told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” in an interview that aired Sunday. “I think that the US Conference...

VIDEOMany federal workers are highly upset that President Trump has ordered that they can no longer work remotely and must return to work at their offices again. Here you see a group of federal workers a few days ago protesting against that order. This particular group of feds are also upset that Kash Patel will soon be ending their funding for remote work special projects. In addition, they will soon be losing the protective services of police escorts and the U-Haul federal discounts. Federal cuts has already meant they can no longer afford marching drums.

They believe in free market capitalism. They are opposed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. And they don't...

Better leave than wait out the clock. Aspirational workers beware, staying at one company won't get you out of a dead-end role. Gen Zers might be on the right track, as job-hopping is shaping up to be the solution to the workplace blues. Young workers are especially likely to quit a job as a way of getting ahead early on in their careers. Most (83%) consider themselves to be job-hoppers, according to a report from ResumeLab—and they're onto something. New research reveals that sticking to one boss and one company doesn’t always lead to success these days, as workers have...

The mountain was named after McKinley in 1896. The McKinley name stuck until President Barack Obama’s administration changed it to Denali as a symbolic gesture to Alaska Natives on the eve of his Alaska visit to highlight climate change.

While few today give much thought to the topic of representation, it was high on the list of concerns during the Framing era. At the federal convention it occupied much of June and wasn’t settled until the very last day on September 17th 1787. Representation of the component members of society is the sine-qua-non of republics. The perceived inadequacy of representation of the people in our Constitution was the first objection from Anti-Federalists who asked, “How can the people, in a nation expected to grow into many millions, be represented in one chamber?” Voter Qualifications. Unlike today, one-man-one-vote was of...

President Trump has kept his promise and commitment to the American people to secure our border and deport illegal aliens. ICE has arrested 3 illegal aliens that belong to the infamous Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang that has infiltrated the United States from Venezuela. One was in San Antonio, Texas and the other two were located in Nashville, Tennessee. All three were originally caught at the border in 2023 and released by the Biden regime into the US. ICE arrested Nestor Jose Mendoza-Garcia in San Antonio on Thursday. He is a citizen from Venezuela and is a member of TdA....

The birthright citizenship debate exploded back into the national discourse this week after President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning it. Trump's ban was slated to take effect on Feb. 19, but a federal judge in Seattle on Thursday temporarily blocked the order. Some experts believe the issue will eventually be settled by the Supreme Court. Should the ban eventually go into force, it would likely impact tens of thousands of children born to the parents of illegal immigrants. The Center for Immigration Studies, a non-profit research organization that focuses on immigration, said Friday that based on its preliminary...

When an individual poses wearing government-sanctioned medals, uniforms, or decorations that they are not entitled to wear, they degrade the honor and sacrifices of those rightly wearing the uniform. How much more concerning is it that those who are not genuine Christians claim to be so?
