Chinese geologists just uncovered a gold deposit so massive, it’s turning heads in the mining world. Early reports hint at billions in untapped value buried deep beneath northeastern soil. Chinese geologists have announced the discovery of a massive gold deposit in the northeastern province of Liaoning, describing it as an “easy to mine” reserve. The site is estimated to contain about 1,000 tonnes of gold, a find that follows closely on the heels of another high-value discovery made just months ago in Hunan province. These back-to-back breakthroughs are credited to China’s advancements in mineral prospecting technology, which researchers say are...

Right Wing Watch @RightWingWatch Kyle Langford, a 20-something Nick Fuentes acolyte, is running for governor of California on a platform of deporting all male undocumented immigrants and then giving all the females one year to marry a "Californian incel" to avoid deportation. 11:49 AM · Apr 15, 2025

"In the early 1930s, Nazi Germany's anti-Semitic policies evoked a widespread, positive response among Arab nationalists across the Middle East." "During this decade, a plethora of political organizations and paramilitary youth movements modelled on Fascist and Nazi organizations sprouted up in the Arab world. In Iraq, there was the al-Futuwwa, a youth organization modelled on the Hitler Youth, and the influential, pan-Arab, Fascist al-Muthanna Club, both openly supportive of the Nazis..." "In December 1937, the high-ranking Nazi officer, Baron Baldur von Schirach, arrived in Damascus and held a lengthy meeting with Said Fattah al-Imam, head of the Association of Graduates...

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer I spoke with @Carlos__Turcios about the Sharia law compound currently being built in Texas while @GregAbbottTX and @JohnCornyn scramble to cover for their failures to combat the Islamification of Texas. Muslims are building a massive Islamic compound in Plano, Texas, complete with illegal funeral services, and now they are under investigation for violating state laws. Abbott says "there’s no Sharia law in Texas." But, he’s wrong. They’re not even asking for permission. They’re implementing it.

National Resources Limited claims massive new gold and copper discovery, raising hopes for a mining bonanza and fears of local conflict At the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025, Muhammad Ali Tabba, chairman of National Resources Limited (NRL) and CEO of Lucky Cement, unveiled what he claimed are hitherto unknown substantial gold and copper reserves in Balochistan’s Chagai district. Announced in the company of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Muhammad Asim Munir, Tabba’s claimed discovery signals a potential turning point for Pakistan’s laggard mining industry at a time global gold prices are touching record highs of over...

Melania Trump is celebrating her birthday on April 26 as she's been resuming her White House duties for the second time. To commemorate the first lady's 55th year, Fox News Digital takes a look back at her path from growing up in Slovenia to stepping into her role in the White House. The early days Trump was born on April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, at Splošna bolnišnica Novo mesto General Hospital, to parents Viktor and Amalija Knavs, according to public records. The first lady was christened at the Church of St. Lawrence in Novo Mesto, where she was...

In the 21st century, Americans are enamored with outdoor life. They seem to think that the “au naturel” way of life is quite magical. Did you realize that a type of movie theater was a forerunner of this out-of-doors magic nearly 100 years ago? And, yes my friends, the drive-in theater was an American invention. What a novel idea — a whole group of people could casually view a movie/movies from the privacy of their own vehicles, parked with many others under a star-filled sky

Democrats on Thursday were bracing for a sustained attack on their fundraising operation by Republicans, as President Donald Trump targets ActBlue. Trump plans to direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the major online donation platform for what the administration cast as “unlawful ‘straw donor’ and foreign contributions to American elections” in a presidential memorandum on Thursday. “President Trump is taking action to address malign actors and foreign nationals who seek to illegally influence American elections, undermining the integrity of our electoral process,” a fact sheet detailing the memo obtained by POLITICO states. “ActBlue has become notorious for its lax...

At least one constitutional law professor believes the policy could be unconstitutional, even if it was written with deliberate ambiguity to avoid those issues.MINNEAPOLIS — Starting Monday, prosecutors in Hennepin County will be required to consider race when offering plea deals, according to a new policy from County Attorney Mary Moriarty. A constitutional law professor warns the policy could be deemed unconstitutional if challenged in court, even if Moriarty's office intentionally crafted the policy to avoid those legal issues. KARE 11 News reporter Lou Raguse received a copy of the policy from sources inside Moriarty's office after it began being...

I saw something on social media the other day that really hit home. I’m not sure who wrote the original, but it stuck with me, and it inspired me to take that message, build on it, and put into words what I believe so many of us are feeling right now. This is how I feel. And I believe it’s how millions of Americans feel, deep down, about what’s happened to our country. We’ve watched the decline. We’ve felt the betrayal. And now, as the enemies of America within try to hit the replay button on the chaos, division, and...

(Washington, D.C., April 24, 2025) – Today, at the direction of U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins, Acting Deputy Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services John Walk issued guidance to all State agencies directing them to enhance identity and immigration verification practices when determining eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This guidance is one of many steps toward fulfilling President Trump’s Executive Order 14218, which directs USDA and other federal agencies to “enhance eligibility verification systems, to the maximum extent possible, to ensure that taxpayer funded benefits exclude any ineligible alien.” “President Trump has made...

Ever since President Trump has been back in office, Democrats have been working hard to impede his success, not that you can blame them. They realize they have nothing to offer US citizens, and they have concluded that all they can do as a party is delay Trump’s obviously popular agenda. Their only success during the four years of Biden was in failing. So, they have opted for the Return of the Roadblock, starring Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and a cast of hundreds of ignoramuses. Leaders are supposed to offer solutions and find compromises that get things done. Democrats offer...

Former President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden arrived at Saint Peter’s Square in Vatican City Saturday morning for Pope Francis’ funeral. The 82-year-old, who met Pope Francis three times as vice president, held onto his wife and a priest as he cautiously walked down the stairs to the seating area. The Bidens are not sitting near President Donald Trump as they are not current heads of state. Instead, they are sitting further back in the foreign dignitaries section. Biden was snapped taking a selfie with another mourner before the funeral service began at 10 a.m.

The big names in artificial intelligence—leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others—still confidently predict that AI attaining human-level smarts is right around the corner. But the naysayers are growing in number and volume. AI, they say, just doesn’t think like us. The work of these researchers suggests there’s something fundamentally limiting about the underlying architecture of today’s AI models. Today’s AIs are able to simulate intelligence by, in essence, learning an enormous number of rules of thumb, which they selectively apply to all the information they encounter. This contrasts with the many ways that humans and even animals are able...

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS Most of us become familiar with the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," fairly early in our childhood days. Significant others, who happen to be adults, seem to stumble over themselves in being the historic "first" to teach the young child this bit of wisdom. Hmmmmmmm, I stumbled upon a quote for those of us who are adults with a burning desire to pass the Golden Rule on to our young children of today: "We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it...

The media meltdown over the Trump administration’s restructuring of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division tells you all you need to know: it’s a necessary and overdue correction. NBC News and other outlets are breathlessly reporting that Trump’s team, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, has reoriented the Civil Rights Division to focus on issues like keeping men out of women's sports, ending radical indoctrination in K-12 education, and defending Americans, including Christians, against discrimination. The professional left is calling it a “bloodbath.” Former bureaucrats are lamenting that the division has been “completely refocused.” Good. That’s the point. "Civil...

Former President Barack Obama was spotted going out to dinner with his daughters in Los Angeles on Saturday night — but former first lady Michele Obama was nowhere to be found as rumors of marriage problems continue to swirl. Obama, 63, with daughters Sasha, 23, and Malia, 26, broke bread at upscale Japanese restaurant Hamasaku on Santa Monica Boulevard, which has been a favorite of the family since at least 2022, according to images of the dinner. Despite the conspicuous absence of Michelle, eagle-eyed relationship monitors noticed that the former president was wearing his wedding ring.

Jolene Dawson, a wildly aspirational trendsetter on TikTok, spent approximately $8,000 (AUD $12,000) to make herself look as much like a cat as a human can, turning to “experimental” procedures to flare her nostrils and accentuate her cheekbones much like that of a feline. But when the 29-year-old from Gold Coast, Australia, looks back on the cat-astrophe meow, she regrets it, she told Jam Press, citing the painful side effects. Over the course of her transformation, Dawson claimed that her body began to “reject” the filler as it migrated throughout her face, where it was not intended. Meanwhile, a new...
