Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Sunday that President Trump “looks and sounds like an ally” of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The comments from Christie came during a panel discussion on ABC News’s “This Week,” in which the group talked about the heated Oval Office meeting with Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Vice President Vance. “I think one of the strangest things of watching the meeting, Chris, is seeing how personal this was for President Trump. He clearly is upset with [Zelensky],” host George Stephanopoulos said. “It probably goes back to what started his first impeachment. And...

"Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. intends to invest $100 billion in chip-manufacturing plants in the U.S. over the next four years under a plan expected to be announced later Monday by President Trump, according to people familiar with the matter," the Wall Street Journal reports. "The investment would be used to build out cutting-edge chip-making facilities. Such an expansion would advance a long-pursued U.S. goal to regrow...

A labor union representing farm workers that for more than a decade begged the Border Patrol to enforce immigration laws is now part of a lawsuit against the Border Patrol for doing just that. The lawsuit, filed by the United Farm Workers (UFW) and five Kern County residents, seeks to stop the Border Patrol from future enforcement actions that stop, arrest, and remove “community members” from the country. The lawsuit was filed in response to a week-long immigration enforcement operation conducted by Border Patrol agents assigned to the El Centro Sector of the United States Border Patrol in January.

The word "church" in common language has many meanings depending on the context. This is the story ... Origin of the English word 'church'The English word "church" itself is Anglo-Saxon in origin. The word first appeared in Anglo-Saxon translations of the Gospels as "chyrcan" and then in the Wycliffe Bible as "chirche" and the word developed into the modern English word church.

It seems to be etymologically derived from the Greek 'kyriakos oikos'...

The Chinese are WAY better than we give them credit for. Our obsessions with bureaucracy, DEI and the environment mean we can't get anything done. Meanwhile, the Chinese have leapt ahead. Terrifying stuff.

In a bombshell revelation that shouldn't surprise anyone paying attention to the Ukraine conflict, we now have evidence that President Zelenskyy has been misleading the United States about his dealings with our European allies. This deception runs deep, and President Trump is having none of it. Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer dropped this truth bomb during a recent Newsmax interview, revealing that a "battle of dueling narratives" exists between the White House and Ukraine over a minerals deal. During the interview, Shaffer revealed that mere days before Trump’s inauguration, “the British signed an agreement with Ukraine to have...

Wow, who knew that setting insane and arbitrary emission goals to “net zero” would be an exercise in utter futility, eh Reuters? The climate-obsessed Reuters had somewhat of a red-pill moment in a February 28 item when it admitted that the “pursuit of net zero carbon emissions has been a resounding failure.” For an outlet that once advocated for the Nobel Peace Prize to be doled out to juvenile eco-delinquent Greta Thunberg, this must have been a hard pill to swallow. Reuters conceded that “[d]espite trillions of dollars spent on renewable energy, hydrocarbons still account for over 80%, opens new...

For years the propaganda press has tried to dismiss concerns about legitimate fraud associated with mail-in ballots. “Yes, voter fraud happens,” The Associated Press’ Ali Swenson wrote in October. “But it’s rare and election offices have safeguards to catch it.” A few weeks later, The Associated Press released a video entitled “Why voter fraud isn’t really a problem in U.S. elections,” with a subhead claiming there are “many safeguards to detect it.” Meanwhile, CNN posted a video entitled “Trump stokes fear over voter fraud in Pennsylvania. CNN fact-checks his claims.” Notably, the subhead for the video acknowledged that officials identified...

MOBILE, Al. - The SS United States has completed its voyage from Philadelphia to Mobile, Alabama, where it will be prepped to become part of the world's largest artificial reef. The historic ship spent over a week being tugged down the East Coast after it ceremoniously left its pier in South Philadelphia where it had been docked for decades.

European politics are driven by a fusion of leftism, arrogance, and a desperate desire to avoid a repeat of WWI and WWII, the two most destructive wars in European (and probably world) history. However, national character may be destiny, because, if British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has a say, they’re lining up for a repeat. Most people know that WWI started because of a cascade of events, each of which, if stopped, could have prevented that blood debacle. On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand Carl Ludwig Joseph Maria of Austria, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was visiting Sarajevo,...

Col. Tony Shaffer told Newsmax Sunday. "This is on the British U.K. website," Shaffer, the president of Project Sentinel, told Newsmax's "Wake Up America Weekend."
