My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue. I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues. Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious. And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They blame the left....

WASHINGTON — President Trump is set to sign a string of major nuclear energy agreements with the UK during his state visit this week — building new plants to power AI and free the NATO ally from reliance on Russian nuclear material. The multi-billion dollar agreements are expected to be signed during Trump’s visit with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on the heels of the president’s unprecedente second state visit with King Charles. The deal includes policies that lower restrictions on building new power stations in both countries. Anglo-American corporate partnerships are at the center of the new scheme —...

[Catholic Caucus] Professor Rist: St Augustine Would Have Been ‘Appalled’ at Recent Vatican EventsThe distinguished Church expert on the 4th century saint discusses increasing concern over Pope Leo XIV’s governance following recent controversies.Pope Leo XIV has won many plaudits for aspects of his Petrine Ministry so far — his Christ-centred preaching, personal kindness, and emphasis on peace and reconciliation to name a few.But recent events at the Vatican have heightened concerns that Leo is also tolerating, and perhaps even condoning, elements of the previous pontificate that were particularly harmful to souls on account of the public scandal they caused.On August...

Englewood Health says it "diligently investigated" the September 10 incident "between a doctor and a nurse in a patient care area."

The Overton Window has shifted. A year ago, even contradicting liberal ideology by asserting simple biological reality could cost you your job. Now, the Democrat base is getting a taste of its own cancelation medicine. When news first broke of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, moonbats could not contain their vicious joy. Some are paying a price for their incontinence. This Florida teacher has been placed on leave: (video on link, this was teaching YOUR kids with YOUR tax dollars) People have had enough, even in the ultrawoke realm of comic books: Airline pilot Andrew Schweizer is quoted as posting: “Charlie Kirk...

Social Democrats TD (member of parliament) Eoin Hayes has apologized for what he said was a “completely inappropriate” Halloween costume he wore 16 years ago when he wore brown make-up to dress up as former US President Barack Obama. In a statement tonight, Mr. Hayes said that he had been informed that a news outlet had obtained photographs of him and intended to publish them. He said that in 2009, when he was President of UCC (University College Cork) Students Union, he wore “brown makeup” on his face and hands as part of his Barack Obama costume. The Dublin Bay...

I’ve written before about preference cascades — where large portions of the public, often a majority, conceal their views for fear of punishment, only to reveal those views when some precipitating event takes place. Classic examples include the fall of Communist regimes, like Ceausescu’s Romania, where even Ceausescu himself thought everyone loved him until shortly before he was stood in front of a wall and shot. Usually those happen in one direction. But in contemporary America, they’re happening in two. The murder of Charlie Kirk at the hands of a leftist gunman has revealed that many, many more Americans —...

https://babylonbee.com/news/cancel-culture-leftist-fired-simply-for-having-a-different-opinion-on-whether-conservatives-should-be-murdered CHICAGO, IL — In what has been described as a disturbing "canceling" trend sweeping across social media, a local leftist was fired from her job simply for having a different opinion on whether conservatives should be murdered. Charity Sparks, an account manager for a marketing company, lost her job over the weekend after she was outed online for a TikTok video in which she performed a celebratory dance and laughed uncontrollably to celebrate the killing of Charlie Kirk and express her deeply held belief that all conservatives should be murdered. "They're so closed-minded about me wanting them all dead,"...

President Donald Trump suggested on Saturday that George Soros should see jail time as his administration weighs a federal racketeering investigation into the Democratic megadonor and his family. Trump issued his latest attack against Soros in an interview with NBC News, in which he said he “should be put in jail.”

We believe we should have the right to call anyone a Nazi. We believe we should be the only ones who decide if the charge is true. Nobody who is friends with someone accused of being a Nazi is allowed to defend them — they’re Nazis TOO! Then, if we decide someone really IS a Nazi, we get to shoot them. And then the world owes us a Gold Star for killing a Nazi. Also, we’re against the death penalty, so nobody else gets to kill anyone. Especially nobody gets to kill us. But we still get to kill anybody....

Russia put on a display of firepower as part of its major military exercises in Belarus on Monday, with neighboring NATO nations on alert amid some of the highest tensions in Europe since Moscow began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. ... The drills come less than a week after around two dozen Russian long-range drones crossed into Poland, which shares a 260-mile border with Belarus and a 130-mile border with Kaliningrad. At least three drones were shot down by responding Polish F-16 and Dutch F-35 fighters, Warsaw said. The incursion was by far the largest-ever of Russian...

This is REALLY bad… Kash Patel just told the Nation by way of Fox News that the suspected Charlie Kirk shooter, Tyler Robinson, had a text message exchange with another person (not disclosed who) where he told them he had a chance to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it. If this is proven, then it seems to me that other person is complicit and should also be charged. Watch here: VIDEO AT LINK................ FULL TRANSCRIPT: My job as FBI director is not to speak to motive, it’s to speak to the facts, and that’s what...
