Democratic Sen. John Fetterman has a warning for his party: learn from the politically charged whirlwind that put Donald Trump back in the White House and secured Republicans control of both chambers of Congress or risk staying in the minority. “They have forgotten one of the reasons why we lost in 2024,” Fetterman said of his fellow Democrats in a wide-ranging interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on “Inside Politics Sunday.” The Pennsylvania Democrat, who was first elected by just a five-point margin in 2022, said some of the party’s more left-wing views were “weaponized” against Democrats last fall. “Some people...

Based on discussions with retired senior US military officials, the best chance for the F-35 Ferrari option is not as an option if the F-47 falters or is delayed. Where it may have the greatest utility, said one source very close to the program, is that technologies being developed for the Block 4 F-35 are close to the baseline for the very first models of the F-47. There is the possibility of a happy marriage there, I was told, that is the option with the greatest potential. Based on what National Security Journal is being told, if there is a...

From the documents (and no verification they are real yet): “The content of these messages included messages affiliated with the contact ‘Tyler’ stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where a rifle was left, a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel. The messages also refer to engraving bullets, and a mention of a scope and the rifle being unique. Messages from the contact Tyler also mention that he had changed outfits.” Earlier in the document: Uhhhh... We have...

I have been warning America for more than a decade (in uniform and out of uniform) about the rise of Islamism and Marxism, an unholy alliance that doesn’t accept any form of God at its very core. I have been consistently standing up against these dangerous ideas and I have been persecuted for speaking TRUTH TO POWER. I have the distinct “honor” of being fired by two presidents, one because he couldn’t handle the truth and the other who was told a lie by those Judases around him. Judases who still exist today. However, this short missive is not about...

A distinguished Harvard Law professor and legal scholar was hammered on social media after spreading a debunked rumor that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination was "ultra-MAGA" and that Republicans were trying to "blame" liberals for the tragedy. Laurence Tribe made the comment in a post on X that shared a lengthy post from an account called Occupy Democrats, which attempted to paint a picture of suspect Tyler Robinson’s political ideology. "Kirk’s apparent assassin seems to have been ultra-MAGA, exploding the GOP/MAGA attempt to pin the blame for this tragedy on liberals," wrote Tribe, a professor at Harvard Law School...

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed the existence of a note written by Charlie Kirk's assassin prior to the killing last week, but he has declined to offer details. [cut] Discord vice president Jud Hoffman confirmed on Friday that there had been “communications between the suspect’s roommate and a friend after the shooting where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere.” Cox declined to offer details about the note but appeared to confirm its existence when asked about it on CNN. “Those are things that are still being processed for accuracy and verification and...

More than 100,000 anti-immigration protesters marched in London Saturday at a rally organised by far-right figure Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, popularly known as Tommy Robinson. Police made 25 arrests after some of the attendees clashed with law enforcement officers, leaving more than two dozen injured. As many as 150,000 protesters marched through central London on Saturday for a demonstration organised by the anti-immigrant and anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson. The rally was met by a smaller "Stand Up to Racism", following a highly charged summer in Britain that has seen protests over immigration and free speech. Police estimated that 110,000 and 150,000 people...

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox revealed that Charlie Kirk assassination suspect Tyler Robinson is not cooperating with investigators, and confirmed Sunday that the alleged gunman’s live-in boyfriend is transgender. Cox, in a series of interviews on Sunday morning talk shows, revealed that Robinson’s romantic partner, as well as his family are all cooperating with the FBI investigation into Kirk’s killing. He also reiterated that Robinson was “deeply indoctrinated in leftist ideology.” “That information comes from the people around him — his family members and friends,” Cox told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “There were conversations that were discussed specifically about Charlie...

We stand up against the violence of abortion, for not only does it kill innocent, precious lives, abortion also kills our culture and creates one where some people think killing someone they disagree with is justified. We must show our nation that to be pro-life is to love life, all lives… This is the lowest point at which our nation has ever been. So, through my tears, I want you to know that I see you and am with you as you fight this battle. We all know the work we do to protect Life comes at a cost. I...

Let me take you on the journey of how my daughter was groomed into being a trans identifying child at the age of 13—and I assure you, my story is not uncommon, I have heard its refrain echoed from many others with ROGD (Rapid Onset of Gender Dysphoria) kids… My daughter’s story began innocently enough…my daughter got her period… Then, in 8th grade, my daughter stopped being a good student. She became obsessed with an older girl she met, who identified as a boy. My concern grew. I started to go through all of my daughter’s devices, old, obsolete i-phones...

In an interview on MSNBC "PoliticsNation" host Rev. Al Sharpton asked New York City mayoral candidate ZohranMamdani "you say you want to raise taxes on the wealthy to fund a bigger budget for the changes you want to implement in how the city is run. How will you keep them from leaving?" "When you ask New Yorkers what is it that is making them feel uneasy in this city, you often hear from them about the cleanliness of our city, the safety of our city, the affordability of our city. We are not asking to raise these taxes for the...

Hundreds gathered at the Huntington Beach Pier Saturday evening to honor the life of conservative podcast host Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. Attendees lit candles, waved flags, and shared memories of Kirk, the 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA. The vigil, organized by local supporters and Turning Point USA affiliates, featured moments of silence, speeches, and songs reflecting on Kirk’s impact on conservative youth activism. Some participants waved white flags while others echoed chants honoring Kirk’s legacy. ...

The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced that archaeologists uncovered rare 4,000-year-old wicks that are among the oldest known examples that have been found anywhere in the world. The discovery came as a team was excavating a set of Bronze Age tombs at the site of Newe Efraim near Yehud. Among the burial offerings, which also included pottery, jewelry, and metal weapons, were three clay oil lamps that still contained wicks inside. These objects rarely survive, not only because they were made from natural material that decays easily, but because by design they are intended to be lit and burnt, eventually...

Ok Amy, since you seem to have an IQ lower than the temperature of the room I’m in, let me explain this slowly: When a service member cheers the murder of an innocent American, it is not “disagreeing with a podcaster.”

Once a left-wing fetish, the heckler’s veto has gained conservative adherents. It's a given that if one party to a disagreement keeps breaking the rules in order to harm opponents, the other participants will eventually sink to the challenge and adopt—or escalate—out-of-bounds tactics themselves. That's bad enough in any conflict, but it can be disastrous for a free and open society if the rules being broken by all parties are fundamental free speech norms. For years, we've seen left-leaning students and faculty on college campuses shout down and sometimes assault speakers with whom they disagree. Now right-leaning students have joined...

At London’s huge “Unite the Kingdom” anti-immigration rally organized by Tommy Robinson, Elon Musk addressed over 100,000 protesters via video, calling for regime change in the UK and warning that “violence is coming” if mass migration continues. Musk blamed Britain’s political left for “slow destruction” of the nation, denounced the “woke mind virus,” and said those in the “reasonable middle” must act before violence reaches them. He invoked the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in the US, accusing the left of celebrating “murder,” and slammed the government for failing to protect citizens—calling for the “dissolution of Parliament” and fresh...

Pastor Vandeman I can think of several things which I really appreciate about Catholic people on a personal level. What I like is the way they have treated me during those five years I spent there in Rome at the Pontifical Gregorian University. You see they accepted me as a separated brother but in reality they treated me as a real Christian brother with love respect and kindness blending on a more general way. What I like about the Catholics is the dedicated way in which they perform their religious exercises. I was privileged while studying there at the Vatican...
