    Sheriffs are concerned. Florida’s Governor is griping about the Department of Homeland Security looking to “poach” local and state law enforcement for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “Sheriffs losing deputies who are in this fight to just wear a different jersey, basically, but still be in the fight, that doesn’t necessarily add to what we’re doing. It’s just moving someone over,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday. However, there are salient material reasons why someone would put on a “different jersey,” given the sweet deal D.C. is dangling in front of current cops. ICE is offering benefits that can’t be matched locally,...
  • Smell The Astroturf! Morning Joe Highlights Town Hall Loaded Against GOP Congressman

    That's not cheese you're smelling in the Wisconsin air. It's Astroturf. Friday's Morning Joe played an extended clip from a town hall held by Republican Congressman Bryan Steil in his 1st Congressional District of Wisconsin (Paul Ryan's old seat in the southeast corner of the state). Steil was unfailingly polite, to the point of saying that he welcomed disagreement. But that didn't earn him an ounce of grace from the audience, which was raucously hostile to him, with repeated booing and jeering. He couldn't get through his first sentence aired without being interrupted by the Democrat crowd. Every single comment...

  • Slovenia becomes first EU country to impose arms embargo on Israel

    Slovenia has become the first country in the European Union to ban all weapons trade with Israel over its war on Gaza. The move by the government comes two weeks after the Central European nation declared Israeli ministers persona non grata. The arms embargo was announced by Prime Minister Robert Golob after a government session on Thursday. *** Amid the devastating war in Gaza, where “people … are dying because humanitarian aid is systematically denied them”, it was the “duty of every responsible state to take action, even if it means taking a step ahead of others”, the statement said....
  • Why Do Statues of Fat Black Women Keep Popping Up?

    No, I am not talking about statues celebrating the likes of Letitia James or Stacey Abrams. At least you could understand why the left would want to celebrate these women and try to make them icons. Rather, I am talking about a truly mysterious trend of Blue cities erecting statues of anonymous women whose only discernible reason for being is the celebration of obese black women as a class of people. Erecting a statue to celebrate someone's achievements deserves no criticism, regardless of the subject's attractiveness. If someone wanted to erect a statue to celebrate Stephen Hawking, who was never...
  • On this day, the Declaration of Independence is officially signed

    August 2, 1776, is one of the most important but least celebrated days in American history when 56 members of the Second Continental Congress started signing the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. Officially, the Congress declared its freedom from Great Britain on July 2, 1776, when it approved a resolution in a unanimous vote. After voting on independence on July 2, the group needed to draft a document explaining the move to the public. It had been proposed in draft form by the Committee of Five (John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson) and it took...
  • Was the Death of Seth Rich a Hit by the Deep State?

    American Thinker ^ | 2 Aug, 2025 | Ron Wright
    “The truth is stranger than fiction” (as attributed to Mark Twain)Conspiracy theorists have long thought that Seth Rich’s death was an assassination facilitated by the Deep State — a Machiavellian hit by the Deep State to cover for its operation known as Russian Collusion because Rich could expose it as false from the beginning. It was an actual “Spy vs. Spy” episode, straight out of Mad Magazine — except our side went full Stasi against the American people. There were the DOJ, FBI, CIA, ODNI, and others in the Intelligence Community (I.C.), except NSA director Adm. Mike Rogers (See more)....
  • Lashing Out Over Russia and Jobs Data, Trump Displays His Volatile Side

    The president had been on something of a winning streak. But when faced with facts and foes that wouldn’t bend to his will, he responded with impatience and disproportionate intensity. Despite slowing over the first half of the year, the U.S. economy has remained reasonably healthy. Yet when the jobs report for July was released on Friday, showing a substantial slowdown in hiring, President Trump lashed out, claiming the figures were rigged and firing the head of the government agency that produces them. Dmitri Medvedev was once president of Russia but now is little more than the Kremlin’s favorite online...

    President Trump ordered the dismissal Friday of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), hours after the economic data collection agency released a report showing unemployment ticked up last month. Now-former BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, triggered Trump’s fury after her agency announced lower than expected employment gains in July and revised the numbers for May and June downward by a total of 258,000 jobs. The president accused McEntarfer of manipulating the data and charged that she had done so in the past.

    “With apologies for bluntness, the mainstream press f[--]d around, now the mainstream press is finding out.” —Matt Taibbi. By now, it must be kind of obvious that Mr. Putin of Russia was staged-up into a demon for the convenience of Hillary Clinton — resulting in a decade of deformed US foreign relations that has dragged us to the edge of a third world war. Nice work, Democratic Party! I will proffer a harsh truth to you: the best outcome in Ukraine would be for Russia to win the war as expeditiously as possible, neutralize and disarm the place, change-out its...

    Vice President JD Vance is “obsessed with the whole UFO thing,” he said on a podcast episode released Friday. “What’s actually going on? What were those videos all about? What’s actually happening?” Vance said on the “Ruthless Podcast.” “I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet, but we’re only six months in.” Though Vance was not specific about which “videos” interested him most, there was plenty to see in the skies — and the headlines — last year. ... Some, including Vance, are still searching for answers about unidentified flying objects. He joked on the podcast that he would...

  • Whiny and Unteachable Europeans Complain About Trade Deal

    American Thinker ^ | Thomas Kolbe
    Shock turns into outrage. Europeans feel they’ve been duped by Donald Trump. But the trade deal merely lays bare the EU’s accelerating loss of power. Anyone familiar with German politics has long known that Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, is no political heavyweight. Her record as Germany’s family and defense minister speaks for itself. She lacks the intellectual and strategic abilities to navigate or reform complex systems. Yes, she was outplayed by Trump during the trade negotiations -- as expected. But this misses the point. What Europeans are loudly lamenting is not just a bad deal,...

    Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) President and CEO Patricia Harrison informed its 100 employees of the termination of their employment following Congress' termination of federal subsidies, saying "most of you will be off the payroll by the start of the new fiscal year (October 1, 2025) the rest will stay until the end of the calendar year to oversee an orderly shut down of operations." The termination of subsidies followed testimony to Congress from Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) CEO Paula Kerger and National Public Radio (NPR) President and CEO Katherine Maher.

    “When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who weredemon-possessed met Him . . . and they cried out, saying, ‘What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?’” (Matthew 8:28–29). Demons can attack people mentally, physically, or spiritually. Spiritually, they oppose true religion, promote the false, and control the occult. Intellectually, they advocate false ideologies, insanity, and masochism. Our Lord always recognized demonized people as being victims of powers beyond their control and in need of deliverance, not condemnation or...
