A Florida woman was denied service at a Taco Bell because none of the workers spoke English. Apparently the Chalupa Supreme Combo doesn’t translate South-of-the-border. Alexandria Montgomery posted a video of the entire incident as it unfolded in the drive-thru of the Taco Bell in Hialeah. “Nobody here speaks English? Nobody in the back speaks English? So you can’t take my order,” Montgomery said. At one point another staffer intervened, but that individual claimed not to speak English, too. “She doesn’t want to help me because she don’t speak English. But you know the menu. You work here, so you...

Cherie Currie was the lead singer of the 1970s hard rock band The Runaways. It’s the same group that launched the career of Joan Jett. These days, Cherie Currie still performs to adoring audiences, but she is also more focused on politics, and she has embraced MAGA and the conservative movement. A quick glimpse at Currie’s Twitter/X account lets you know exactly where she stands. Currie’s political transformation has been in the works for a while. Western Journal reported on this almost a year ago: Former Punk Rock Lead Singer Cherie Currie Renounces the Democratic Party After Realizing She ‘Fell...

More insanity from the globalist Western European elites. According to news reports last week, the Trump Administration suggested it was prepared to recognize Russian control over Crimea. This is part of a broader peace agreement that the US has facilitated between Ukraine and Russia. If elected, President Trump promised to bring peace to Ukraine, but he did not understand that illegitimate President Volodymyr Zelensky and the globalist Western warmongers would be his main obstacles to peace in the region. Crimea is a peninsula off Ukraine in the Black Sea. In 2014, Russia took control of the region and its ports...

A scraggly octogenarian allegedly scratched five Teslas at a Long Island mall in a tantrum over Elon Musk and President Trump – but he later told The Post it was all a big mixup. Victor Divergilio, 83, caused $23,000 in damage to the cars at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City on Sunday afternoon and allegedly fumed to detectives that Tesla CEO Musk “should die” and “so should Trump f–king die,” according to a criminal complaint. But he sang a different tune in a brief phone interview with The Post Wednesday. “If I did something against him, it wouldn’t...

President Donald Trump has received a lot of negative press, in which people say he acts like a king and that his popularity is shrinking. However, new polls show most Americans don’t buy the “excessive power” narrative. Even CNN analyst Harry Enten is trying to warn Democrats not to trust the spin. Spreading the Trump Narrative “Americans largely do not believe Democrats’ claim that President Donald Trump is behaving like a king,” Enten said. “[T]he majority of Americans think the president either does not have enough power or has the perfect amount of power. … So the idea, that argument...

The party is broken – and once-integral cogs in the machine are slated for replacement. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has now perhaps become the most high-profile victim of the Democratic Party’s civil war – with less emphasis on the “civil.” A new breed of zealous progressives has been extending its influence over the party for at least the last decade, and President Donald Trump’s 2024 victory may have been the last straw for this radical faction. Schumer suddenly finds himself widely unpopular, and that may well bring an end to his leadership role and maybe even his political...

Let me clear something up right now before we go any farther. I'm not saved by a church. The Bible makes it very very clear that I'm saved by the Lord Jesus Christ. So I want every person watching on TV to know that this Adventist believes we are saved through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. So, salvation is not found in a church, salvation is found in a person, the Lord Jesus Christ. I also want to say I am very conscious of the good people in other churches. .........God has got his children in every church. I'm...

Earlier this month, I got the chance to be a student again for just one morning. It was an opportunity offered to all members of the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Visitors, and I jumped at the chance to go back to campus to observe two classes. Among the options were two courses in the new School of Civic Life and Leadership. My first class of the day was “Practice of Civic Life and Leadership,” taught by Professor John Rose, which the course catalog thus describes: This course focuses on the ideas and practices necessary to analyze arguments and disagree in...

I just got a warning from "X" that a post I made goes against "X" rules. They showed some women and a man dressed as a woman. I posted this. "Clown actors used to dress as women for laughs. Fatty Arbuckle, Buster Keaton, Gary Grant, RED SKELTON and many others. They were for comedy. Now trannys want to be taken as serious. No, they are still clowns to be laughed at. Same for homosexuals." They posted this. Your post was detected by our systems and has had its visibility limited for violating the X rules. Specifically: We have determined your...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) celebrated Wednesday as his state became the world’s fourth-largest economy — albeit one that cannot fix homelessness or protect its citizens from devastating wildfires. Newsom’s office cited data indicating that California had surpassed Japan and that only the U.S., China, and Germany had larger economies, in terms of total output. He boasted in a press statement: California isn’t just keeping pace with the world—we’re setting the pace. Our economy is thriving because we invest in people, prioritize sustainability, and believe in the power of innovation. And, while we celebrate this success, we recognize that our...

Whether the threat was abusive Hamas guards, hunger, illness or Israeli strikes, there were moments during Tal Shoham‘s 505 days of captivity at the hands of terrorists in Gaza when he didn’t think he’d be alive the next morning. There were “many times that I separated from life and… tried to accept death,” the 40-year-old Israeli, who also holds Austrian citizenship, told The Associated Press. “There are so many ways to die there.” Shoham was one of dozens of hostages released from Gaza in February as part of a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel that has since been broken....

Recovery and rebuilding efforts from the devastation unleashed by Hurricane Helene on towns like Chimney Rock, North Carolina has largely faded from the headlines and the public’s awareness. Over the past 6 months, however, a team of 2,000 volunteers from the Great Needs Trust, a Pennsylvania Amish community, have been quietly and steadily rebuilding the town’s homes, businesses and bridges. Chimney Rock Mayor Peter O’Leary told WCNC, “When we look around, we still see tremendous damage and realize it will take a long time to build back. But at the same time, we have made tremendous progress, and that is...

"They can use their own personal credit cards," said one Republican chairman.. Republican leaders in the House have denied requests by Democrats to approve congressional trips to check on deportees at a mega prison in El Salvador. With a post to X on Friday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed a letter in which he told a pair of Democrats that he was rejecting their demand for authorization of a Congressional Member Delegation (CODEL) to visit the Terrorism Confinement Center or CECOT. “If Democrats wish to travel to El Salvador and meet with a foreign illegal MS-13 gang member,...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday he will cut short an official visit to South Africa because of a major Russian attack on Kyiv overnight. Zelenskyy still held a planned meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the government's Union Buildings in Pretoria but said on his Telegram page that he would return home after that. Zelenskyy arrived in South Africa late Wednesday night just as Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on the Ukrainian capital that killed at least nine people and injured more than 70.

Sen. Van Hollen took a highly publicized trip last week to El Salvador to advocate for Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return.. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasted Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen on Monday after he admitted that his trip to El Salvador to meet a deported illegal immigrant was paid for by taxpayers.

The U.S. Navy officially scrapped a Biden-era “climate action” plan for the force on Tuesday, signifying the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to refocus the military towards warfighting. “Today, I’m focusing on the warfighters first, and I’m rescinding the Biden administration’s climate action program. Our focus needs to be on lethality and our warfighters,” Navy Secretary John Phelan announced in a video message. Released in May 2022, the Climate Action 2030 program contained a series of actions and goals the Department of the Navy (DON) has taken or planned to undertake to tackle what Biden Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro characterized...

The Food and Drug Administration and the US Department of Health and Human Services have announced a ban on all petroleum-based synthetic food dyes beginning in 2026. Robert F.

The FDA is taking the following actions: Establishing a national standard and timeline for the food industry to transition from petrochemical-based dyes to natural alternatives. Initiating the process to revoke authorization for two synthetic food colorings—Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B—within...
