I want to add my $.02 to the excellent piece Ed wrote this morning about the farm raid in California that so exorcised the Democrats. You know, the one where a violent "protester" shot at law enforcement, risking everybody around him in the process. Democrats were livid at...ICE...apparently for provoking a well-justified armed response from a good citizen who rightly wanted to ensure that the pot farm he was protecting could continue to employ children to harvest the crop. Unaccompanied migrant children are doing what amounts to slave labor, and the Democrats are incensed that their pot supply might become...

The White House appeared to respond to rumors that either President Donald Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi or FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino was out following the Department of Justice's announcement about no Epstein "client list.""President Trump has assembled a highly qualified and experienced law and order team dedicated to protecting Americans, holding criminals accountable, and delivering justice to victims," a statement on Friday from White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields read, per Semifor White House Correspondent Shelby Talcott.White House statement on today’s FBI/DOJ Epstein news cycle:“President Trump has assembled a highly qualified and experienced law and order...

We’re told that passing President Trump’s $9.4 billion rescission package – the one that would eliminate much of the funding for NPR and PBS (they can hold telethons) and some modest cuts in foreign aid – is a tough sell in the Senate. Apparently, the Cookie Monster desperately needs tax dollars.’ It passed the House so the Senate needs to toughen up and get it done. If they can’t cut the budget by 0.13% or the deficit by 0.5% we are sunk.Fortunately, Trump is tightening the screws ahead of the July 18 deadline. We will keep you posted.

United Airlines has vowed that 50% of its future pilot hires will be women and people of color by 2030—and Delta, American, and Southwest have pledged similar DEI commitments. But how will these goals affect airline standards, pilot competency, and aviation safety?

The mystery of the missing sea is one that has personally intrigued me recently. Through all of the Welsh history I have covered on this channel, I have never encountered a phenomenon as mysterious as what I've dubbed as the "islands that aren't islands". Throughout a small valley in Wales, near the towns of Porthmadog and Tremadog, there are 10 hills that aren't called hills at all, but "islands", despite being completely away from the ocean, a phenomenon that is completely unique throughout the history of Wales. Wales' history is full of mysteries, and these islands that aren't islands, surrounded...

We're trapped in a structure. We named the Structure 'Jeffrey Epstein'." — Eric Weinstein No one in America — not even the most deranged, spike-faced, pink-haired transtifas — believes the latest Epstein story as played out by Mr. Trump and AG Bondi in this week’s cabinet parlay: nuthin to see, just a bunch of pointless child porn, fuggeddabowdit. . . But stay! Much is moving, flowing unseen. The world is yugely in flux, large events in human affairs are in motion, many things are breaking, rotating, dissolving and re-forming, while others wind into giant hairballs. . . so many players...

CNN — A federal judge on Friday found that the Department of Homeland Security has been making arrests in Los Angeles immigration raids without probable cause and ordered the department to stop detaining individuals based solely on race, spoken language or occupation.

Kash Patel is NOT resigning from his post at the FBI — unless the President himself removes him, according to new reports. Earlier Friday, rumors exploded across social media, suggesting that FBI Director Kash Patel might join FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino in stepping down after growing friction with Attorney General Pam Bondi. Dan Bongino reportedly took a day off following a heated confrontation with Bondi over her suppression of critical evidence tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. According to CNN and The Daily Wire, Bongino has told confidants he is strongly considering resigning if Bondi remains at the DOJ....

Paleontologists in Alberta, Canada, have recently unearthed “a mass grave on a monumental scale.”1 The BBC story speaks of Thousands of dinosaurs [that] were buried here, killed in an instant on a day of utter devastation. Now, a group of palaeontologists have come to Pipestone Creek - appropriately nicknamed the “River of Death” - to help solve a 72-million-year-old enigma: how did they die?1 The question and answer regarding the mass dinosaur death is found in the same sentence above. It was a massive flood (“river”) of death that killed them 4,500 years ago. Unfortunately, paleontologists will not accept this...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass promised that illegal aliens would receive cash payments as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have continued conducting raids and enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. On Friday, Bass explained that illegal migrants would receive a “couple hundred” dollars on cash cards, adding that the “money will not come from city coffers but from philanthropic partners,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

A small settlement in Greenland is holding its collective breath as an iceberg of titanic proportions drifts dangerously close to shore — and residents’ homes. For days now, the freakishly large frozen mass has been on a collision course with tiny Innaarsuit — leading local authorities to issue a warning to residents. If the fearsome frosty float were to make contact with the shore or break apart, potential damage and injuries could follow, officials said. Though it’s unlikely any broken ice chunks would fall directly on land, the impact of pieces of plummeting permafrost would create massive waves, which could...

Washington’s first plug-in ferry will begin shuttling cars and passengers across Puget Sound by the end of next week. Gov. Bob Ferguson made the announcement Thursday during a celebratory demonstration lap around Elliott Bay on the ferry Wenatchee, concluding a challenging conversion to hybrid-electric propulsion over the past 22 months. *SNIP* “Washington state is a great visionary state. It deserves a great visionary boat and it has got one today,” Inslee exulted. *SNIP* The complicated shore power infrastructure is in the design phase for the downtown Seattle, Bainbridge, Bremerton, Kingston and Clinton terminals. The Seattle terminal’s plug-in charging arm and...

It's another curveball in the Canada-US trade war - a new missive by US Donald Trump threatening an unexpected 35% tariff on Canadian goods starting next month. It came as the two countries engage in intense trade talks meant to produce a new deal in the coming days, and what the latest tariff threat means for these negotiations is unclear. But Canada's new prime minister, Mark Carney, is beginning to face questions over whether he is able to stand up to Trump and secure the fair deal for Canada he promised. Carney won April's general election vowing to keep his...

The Official Preliminary Report is out, and confirms the fuel cutoff switch directly after takeoff: both switches found in in the off positions.

Woke Canada keeps descending into pure madness, led by the Globalist Liberal party. Justin Trudeau is out, Mark Carney is in, but the dystopian developments continue unabated. For the canucks in power, it is progressive to defend mass migration, abortion and euthanasia, transgender dysphoria, ‘net zero’ and the church of climate change… the list is endless. But, of course, the majority of normal people in Canada need to be kept in check by their Liberal overlords, so common, ordinary behavior needs to be vilified. So now, warnings by Canadian Police arise that ‘people with traditional values could be extremists’. The...
