Is there something about liberal elite networks, you should understand? snip Because I spent decades in the same elite liberal circles that sheltered Epstein, I am not puzzled. I think I understand the matrix of this situation. snip I also believe that there are make-or-break tech bro Trump supporters on the list, because of a moving interview given by Eric Weinstein on July 14, 2025— interestingly, in the midst of the Bondi furor — to Steven Bartlett, on the “Diary of a CEO” podcast. snip Indeed, Harvard was an avid matchmaker for Epstein among the scientific and mathematics community. Harvard...

The Democrats asked for transparency and they’re going to get it good and hard. The great Satchel Paige once said, “Don’t look back -- something may be gaining on you.” Well, I think for Barack Obama and his cohort, something is gaining on them, and so, too, I believe it is happening now for those who engaged with Jeffrey Epstein in his illicit activities. Stuff kept hidden by the wrongdoers in the Obama and Biden administrations is coming to light, and you can expect they will amp up their deflection and distraction moves to keep the focus off what they...

President Donald Trump’s approval rating remains underwater. But Democrats are faring worse, according to a new poll from The Wall Street Journal released Saturday. The new survey, conducted by Democratic pollster John Anzalone and Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio, found Democrats’ popularity at its lowest point in three decades of WSJ polling, with 63 percent of voters holding an unfavorable view of the party. Only 33 percent of voters hold a favorable view of Democrats, with a meager 8 percent holding a “very favorable” opinion, for a net negative favorability of 30 percentage points. While voters still have significant concerns over...

US President Donald Trump is still interested in resolving the conflict in Ukraine and wants to see concrete actions to end it, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview with the Fox News channel, APA reports. “This is not his war, but he wants it to end“, the head of the foreign policy department said. According to Rubio, Trump is frustrated that “his good interaction and phone calls with Vladimir Putin are not leading to anything“. “It is time to take action and the president has made it very clear. "He's losing patience," the secretary of state...

New York State Attorney General Letitia James quietly circulated a petition Saturday to other Democrats pushing an end to the “humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza. An early draft of the petition circulated to multiple elected officials and obtained by The Post did not condemn Hamas terrorists for the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. “We are united in this moment by a truth we can no longer ignore: a famine is unfolding in Gaza before the eyes of the world,” according to the draft, which claimed to be on behalf of a “coalition of multiracial, multiethnic, and multifaith elected officials.” “There...

“Pocket rescissions, I think, are unconstitutional,” said Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), a spending cardinal, this week. “So, just like impoundment, I think, is unconstitutional.” “So we’ll see how it goes,” he said. Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought referred to pocket rescissions as “one of the executive tools” that are “on the table” earlier this month, as the administration continues a sweeping operation aimed at reducing federal spending. “The president was elected to get us to balance, to deal with our fiscal situation, and we’re going to use all of the tools that are there depending on the...

Iran’s ‘migration jihad' sees thousands of radicals sent to UK on weaponised routes. Tehran has forged a strategic partnership with Algeria to weaponise migration routes and penetrate UK borders with radicalised operatives.

I think these are very good arguments to debunk the left wing lies trying to deny us our Constitutional rights. To set the stage, let’s just look at basic civics: the purpose of any amendment is because something is off limits to being changed through legislation. We should then be able to point to something that was rendered off limits to being changed through legislation due to the ratification of the 2nd Amendment. The anti gun groups focus exclusively on 2 parts of the 2nd Amendment, “Well Regulated”, and “Militia”. Their arguments are boil down to 2 things, “Well Regulated”...

Internet Archive — the no-cost, nonprofit digital library that has become embroiled in the nationwide battle over copyrights and free speech — is now an official source for government documents. According to a new designation announced by California Senator Alex Padilla, the website will join a network of more than 1,000 libraries around the country tasked with archiving government documents for public view. Unlike other designated federal depository libraries, as they are known, the Archive is entirely online. The news was first reported by San Francisco's KQED, who spoke to both Padilla and Archive founder Brewster Kahle about supporting the...

Taliban fighters have been brought to the UK on secret airlift flights after the Afghanistan data breach which was revealed by the Mail. This newspaper revealed earlier this month a British military official catastrophically wrongly shared a database of 100,000 Afghans who had applied for sanctuary in the UK. The scheme was set up for those who worked with British forces to flee the murderous Taliban - so the disastrous leak amounted to giving a 'kill list' to the vengeful jihadist warlords. The breach was discovered by the Mail in August 2023 - and so far, 18,500 of the Afghans...

Polish President Andrzej Duda has signed into law a bill formally withdrawing the country from the Ottawa Treaty, which bans the use of anti-personnel landmines, citing deteriorating regional security and increasing threats from Russia. The decision aligns Poland with several of its neighbours, including the three Baltic states – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – and Finland, which have also taken steps to exit the treaty in recent months. Asked about the decision in late June, Duda described it as a “rational step” in light of the “deteriorating security situation” linked in part to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The bill was...

For well over a century, excavations at Canaanite sites throughout modern-day Israel have uncovered evidence of a peculiar local tradition. Whenever Canaanites built or renovated a house, or even when the home changed occupants, the owners would bury an oil lamp sandwiched between two ceramic bowls in the floor. Offerings placed in the foundation deposits of structures are well-attested throughout the ancient world, but this behavior was slightly different and archaeologists have often speculated about its origins in the region. Haaretz reports that a new study has connected this ritual to the time when Egypt ruled the Levant. By mapping...

New research in northwest Saudi Arabia has identified the existence of a network of previously unknown fortified enclosures, La Brújula Verde reports. Known as Walled Oasis Complexes, these settlements consisted of large defensive walls encircling desert oases that helped shelter and protect crops, water sources, and herds of goats and sheep. Relying on satellite imagery and ground reconnaissance, the study located four previously unknown complexes at Dumat al-Jandal, Hait, Huwayyit, and Khaybar dating back thousands of years. The discovery changes the perception of Arabia as a desert dominated by Bedouins and demonstrates that there were complex sedentary societies as many...
