BBC News reports that a metal detectorist recently retrieved a rare and unique gold coin from a field in Norwich. The artifact was analyzed by numismatist Adrian Marsden of the Norfolk Historic Environment Service, who believes it dates to between a.d. 640 and 660 and may be the oldest Anglo-Saxon coin ever found in East Anglia. It was minted at a transitional time in English history when Christianity was beginning eclipse pagan beliefs, which is reflected in the coin's iconography. One side of the thrymsa, a type of early Anglo-Saxon shilling, features a dancing man who seems to be holding...

As federal immigration agents continue to carry out raids in Southern California, sparking fear in communities across the region, a South Los Angeles neighborhood confronted sheriff’s deputies Monday, believing they were with U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement. The tense confrontation, much of which was caught on cellphone cameras, unfolded in South Park outside a home near McKinley Avenue and East 49th Street. Footage of the incident obtained by KTLA shows crowds of residents swarming L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies and yelling at them as they carried out an operation that the department told KTLA was part of an ongoing investigation.

The world’s richest man and one of the world’s greatest minds, Elon Musk, turned on Starlink for Iranians after the brutal Islamic regime cut off internet service. This comes following the waves of Israeli attacks on the Islamic regime. Starlink gives internet service to people where internet is hard to get, like in remote areas or people suffering from a natural disaster or war.

In a nutshell * Gluten transfer through kissing is rare and generally minimal, with only 2 out of 20 kisses in the study resulting in gluten levels above the 20 ppm safety threshold for celiac patients. * Drinking a small glass of water before kissing significantly reduces gluten transfer, often bringing it down to levels considered safe for people with celiac disease. * This is the first scientific study to measure gluten exposure through kissing, offering much-needed reassurance to celiac patients and reducing unnecessary precautions in romantic settings. ====================================================================== NEW YORK — A simple kiss can be a source of...

FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Monday that the FBI has located documents that detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP. According to Kash, the communist Chinese were involved in a plot to create thousands of fake mail-in ballots in 2020 using fake voter registrations. And, it should be clear that China was not creating fake ballots to assist Donald Trump. The Chi-Coms detested Trump and what he had done to their economy. Trump was the only US president in decades to take on the Chinese Communist Party. Kash tweeted out...

President Donald Trump’s deputies have reversed the short-lived ICE exemption policy for hotel, farm, and restaurant companies, according to the Washington Post. Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including its Homeland Security Investigations division, told agency leaders in a call Monday that agents must continue conducting immigration raids at agricultural businesses, hotels and restaurants, according to two people familiar with the call. The new instructions were shared in an 11 a.m. call to representatives from 30 field offices across the country.

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell Monday evening, handing Congress an intelligence report that raises serious questions about China’s role in the 2020 election. According to the report, Chinese operatives mass-produced counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses as part of a broader scheme to flood the system with fake mail-in ballots—benefiting… you guessed it… Joe Biden. This wasn’t just foreign meddling—it was industrial-scale fraud, enabled by a broken mail-in voting system the Democrats have long been exploiting. The report confirms what many of us suspected all along: the integrity of the 2020 election wasn’t just compromised—it was hijacked. According to officials...

Is gold calling out a broken global financial system? One Big…Lie? Earlier this year, I was asked to give my most “heretic” opinion about the global financial system. This was an unusual yet bold question, and after a brief pause, I answered that the entire system was…, well: “A lie.” This may seem like a sensational response in an industry sometimes prone to the sensational; however, if we look at stubborn facts, the answer is truer than it is extreme. When it comes to a financial system rotting from within, the Botox-like beauty of our ballooning S&P and centralized credit...

The Dallas protest began on Monday and ended by 11 p.m. that same day. All chaos was immediately snuffed out and limited to graffiti and small fights, resulting in only one arrest as of Tuesday. No major damage to public property or criminal charges have been reported.

Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson says: “High school graduation ceremonies are a rite of passage. A time for friends and family to come together to celebrate one of life’s major milestones. To bring machineguns and violence to such a ceremony is immoral and shameful. On behalf of all Minnesotans, I want to express a sense of moral outrage at these crimes and assure the public that the perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” Sure, he is full of “moral outrage,” but will Thompson address the culture of violence that Minnesota officials have unwisely brought...

The business community, from El Monte to Downey to Perris, no longer fears the impact of federal immigration raids on workplaces. They are seeing the painful fallout firsthand. In the weeks after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents ramped up their roundups of migrant workers from car washes, swap meets and hubs such as L.A.’s Flower District, business owners and city leaders say the operations are disrupting life and spreading fear in their communities. ... Todd Lyons, the head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, defended his tactics last week week against criticism that authorities are being too heavy-handed....

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Jacksonville man remained in Duval County jail Tuesday on a $725,000 bond after he was arrested last week after being fired from Burger King. Dennis Gray Jr., 24, showed up for work at the fast-food restaurant on Lem Turner Road on June 8 and a manager told him he was terminated, a Jacksonville police arrest report states. The manager told police that after she informed Gray he was fired, he left the restaurant and returned with a red brick, the report states. Gray attempted to log into a computer with his fingerprint, but the manager stopped...

President Donald Trump has one well-known and exploitable weakness: His inordinate love for the triumphal announcement that he has brokered a deal. This inordinate love has already spawned two terrible blunders that threaten us all, one actual and one potential. The actual blunder is the welcoming of Chinese students into American Universities. This blunder stems from his failing to recognize that every Chinese student is a spy. This is not to say that each and every Chinese student is actively engaged in spying at every moment. But it is the case that each and every Chinese student is legally obliged...

How many more would-be jihadis are in America right now? ... Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national who had overstayed his visa, has now been saddled with 118 criminal charges, including 28 counts of attempted murder, for throwing Molotov cocktails last Sunday at a group of people who were peacefully marching to advocate for the release of the Israeli hostages Hamas seized on Oct. 7, 2023. He is also facing federal hate crime charges, as he was clearly intending to target Jews. Yet while we have come a long way from last Sunday, when Boulder police chief Steve Redfearn insisted...

Just 36 hours after the initial impact to the overpass, SCDOT has reopened traffic on I-20 in both directions at mile marker 13 in Aiken County. South Carolina Secretary of Transportation Justin Powell said, "I want to thank our crews, our contractors and our partners in law enforcement for working around the clock on this major emergency response effort. Thanks to their immediate mobilization and diligent work, we opened the interstate in a record amount of time."

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass compared the impact of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids to the coronavirus lockdowns that her party imposed on California, in that both kept people at home. Bass made the comparison over the weekend in visits to small businesses in a neighborhood that, the Los Angeles Times, depended on the “immigrant” economy (the Times never used the word “illegal). The Times reported: Bass visited a number of small businesses in Boyle Heights with Assemblymember Mark Gonzalez (D-Los Angeles), including Casa Fina, Distrito Catorce, Yeya’s and Birrieria De Don Boni, as well as the Estrada...

The endgame of the current Israel-Iran conflict presents two distinct goals: preventing a nuclear Iran and achieving regime change in Tehran. While regime change is a hope for many, the primary and more achievable objective for Israel and the US should be the complete and verifiable dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program.

President Donald Trump disputed his own director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, on how developed Iran’s nuclear capabilities are and said Iran was on the verge of obtaining a nuclear weapon when Israel struck in recent days.I don't care what she said...."Video at the link
