A transgender individual has been arrested after allegedly planting explosives at a Colorado Tesla dealership, as instances of violence and vandalism surge at other Tesla locations. Lucy Grace Nelson, a 40-year-old male who identifies as a transgender woman, was arrested on Monday night following “several” instances of vandalism at the Loveland Tesla dealership, leading to “incendiary devices” being found at the scene,” police announced Wednesday. The Loveland Police Department investigation, which began on January 29, resulted in Nelson’s arrest when he allegedly “returned to Loveland Tesla while in possession of additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism.” The...

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) — an anti-Trump Democrat — was seemingly unable to remember what the price of eggs was in her home state, despite continually bringing attention to the high cost of eggs. The New York Times interviewed Klobuchar about her insistence on bringing up the price of eggs, using it — seemingly — to suggest that President Trump has failed, despite his being in office just over one month after four years of rising prices and rampant inflation under the Biden administration.

Words you see a lot on Gene Hackman’s extensive film resume: Lieutenant, Sergeant, Detective, Sheriff. The movie star, who was found dead Wednesday at age 95 at home in New Mexico, was famous for playing admirals, generals, multiple (fictitious) presidents, coaches, a reverend, a senator and myriad other upright authority figures over his five-decade career in Hollywood. But his portrayals, like his life, were full of fascinating contradictions. Popeye Doyle wasn’t just another detective, and Gene Hackman was not just another actor. Hackman was born in San Bernardino, California, in 1930 and eventually settled with his grandmother in Danville, Illinois.

“I see the pundits on TV [asking], ‘what’s wrong with the Democratic Party?’ What’s wrong is our country is being stolen by fascists and Nazis and we’re trying to do all we can to try and [stop] that,” Walz said according to the recording... “We spent three days, you know, having them try to debate whether President Musk gave a Nazi salute,” Walz told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow during a Jan. 28 segment. “Of course he did. But that is a distraction.”

A personal address book of Jeffrey Epstein’s was released Thursday by the President Trump’s Justice Department which included a new list of celebrities and politicians whom the pedophile financier had in his phone.

FORT MEADE, MD — A group of federal employees expressed feelings of shock and outrage over blatant violations of their privacy, as NSA agents were horrified to learn that people had spied on their personal conversations. Members of the National Security Agency said they were appalled to learn that their private conversations with each other had been subject to review without their knowledge, leaving them dismayed that their rights to privacy had been infringed. "This is a blatant violation of our privacy," said NSA agent Stefanie Gilbert. "We had those conversations with each other under the assumption that we could...

VLADIMIR PUTIN:‘They invented that Russia wants to attack NATO. Have you completely lost your minds? Dumb as this table? It’s nonsense. Utter rubbish.’‘It would be rubbish if it wasn’t a plan just to trick their own population by saying ‘Help! Russia is going to attack soon, we must arm ourselves urgently, send weapons to an Ukraine.’ In reality it is done to preserve their own imperial standing and might.’‘Look at NATO’s potential and Russia’s potential, did you decide we’re crazy or something?’

The liberals are everything they accuse conservatives of being. During the Thursday edition of ABC’s The View, co-host Joy Behar went on an anti-immigrant tirade directed at billionaire Elon Musk. She viciously attacked him for being born in South Africa – something he had no choice in, accused him – without evidence – of being “pro-apartheid,” a “foreign agent” and “enemy of the United States,” and when she finally was told he was a naturalized citizen, she scoffed and wondered if he came in illegally. And in an apparent attempt at heading off a possible defamation suit, she begged Musk...

Video released Thursday shed light on the moments leading up to an Indiana sheriff’s deputy shooting and killing J6 defendant Matthew Huttle, who had recently received a pardon from President Donald Trump. Body cam footage from a Jasper County Sheriff’s Office deputy shows Huttle being pulled over for speeding 70 MPH in a 55 MPH zone, and admitted to having “pending traffic violations” in the state. After Huttle was identified as a Habitual Traffic Violator, he was asked to step out of the vehicle and informed that he would be booked since the infraction was a felony. “So today, you...

One of the largest private homes built by the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright is on the market in Tulsa, Oklahoma — and it just got a major price cut. Dubbed “Westhope,” the residence is one of just five homes Wright built with unique, geometric blocks stacked in vertical columns. No fewer than 5,200 panes of glass cover almost half of the exterior, and large skylights let in even more Sooner sunshine. It can be yours for $3.5 million — a 56% drop from its initial asking price in 2023, Mansion Global reported. At 10,400 square feet, Westhope is one...

FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDire….•5m The FBI is entering a new era—one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice. There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued and brought to justice. If there are gaps in the Epstein investigation, we will find them. If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people...

Hawaiian Supreme Court rules that individuals have no Second Amendment rights under its history, state law, and “spirit” “As the world turns, it makes no sense for contemporary society to pledge allegiance to the founding era’s culture, realities, laws, and understanding of the Constitution. ‘The thing about the old days, they the old days.’” –Justice Todd Eddins Justices with the Hawaii Supreme Court argue that Hawaii must follow the “spirit of Aloha,” not the rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court, when it comes to the Second Amendment rights of individuals. The Supreme Court of Hawaii has handed down a decision...

I am interested in options on whether the Epstein Flight logs should be made Public. Perhaps we think the individuals that participated in abusive acts should be exposed. Will general broadcasting of all names taint a potential Jury Pool? What the personals name is listed in error, what if they missed the flight,etc. I would like to see all guilty party's punished to the full extent of the Law!!!

Public lampposts in London, England, governed by Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan, have been festooned with banners instructing viewers to ‘Trust in Allah’ and ‘Give Zakat’—a form of charitable donation mandated by Islam. The banners were produced by Islamic Relief, an Islamic charity likely hoping to benefit financially from such Zakat donations. . . In another sign of Islam’s growing influence over Britain’s national life, King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, shared a video of themselves packing dates to be sent to Muslims as special treats during Ramadan, which they described as a “holy month” despite the King’s status...

The recent public clash between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reignited debates about Zelensky’s role in the outbreak of war with Russia. A classical realist analysis provides the best framework for understanding both the conflict and Zelensky’s role in it.Simply put, the classical realist framework holds that, in an anarchic international system, where no central authority enforces order, states must rely on their own power for survival. It further holds that an important consequence of this reality is the “security dilemma” — a dynamic that emerges when one state’s attempts to enhance its security are perceived...

Mexico on Thursday agreed to send approximately 30 drug cartel officials to the United States that are wanted by American authorities, including former Sinaloa cartel founding member Rafael Caro Quintero, and former Zetas cartel leader Miguel Ángel Treviño Morales.

Treviño is considered one of Mexico's most violent cartel operatives, and has been wanted by the United States since 2013. He is currently...

Pombo, stand-up comedian Marc Yaffee, and Jerry McClellan, graphic novelist and animator, on the "Old School With Patrick Rooney" Podcast. President Trump shared this video with no comment from his Truth Social account.
