Trump’s UK visit nearly took a dramatic turn when his helicopter, carrying him and Melania, made an emergency landing after a hydraulic issue. Diverted to Luton, the Trumps switched choppers before boarding Air Force One back to the U.S. The White House called it “minor,” but the symbolism is striking: the world’s most powerful man, forced down mid-flight. Was it just a glitch — or a reminder of how fragile power can be?

They hate you and think your normal American beliefs are "fascist." Case in point: A group of adults on Facebook who infiltrated group chats and coordinated to destroy students for wanting to start a Turning Point USA chapter in the Spring Branch school district at Stratford High School in Houston. https://x.com/M4LHarris/status/1968756309609570494?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1968756309609570494%7Ctwgr%5E0a7fa75bf619ab6bee9ae31b8cc4ad343b452139%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnotthebee.com%2Farticle%2Ftexas-ag-to-investigate-facebook-group-that-doxxed-kids-who-want-to-start-tpusa-chapter-at-their-school Here is the part where they name the students/teachers who want to start the TPUSA chapter (names redacted): The group claims, in direct contradiction to the FBI, the governor of Utah, District Attorney Jeffrey Grey, the accused shooter's own family, and the accused shooter's own messages, that the suspect...

A 43-year-old man and two nine-year-old children have died after being ‘burned alive’ when they became trapped inside a Tesla. The car went up in flames on September 7 after it came off the road and crashed into a tree in western Germany, police said. The man, and the children, no further details, died at the scene. Another child inside the vehicle was able to get out alive and was taken to a nearby hospital. A local resident tried to rescue the others but was unable to open the door with the Tesla’s retractable handles, German media outlets report. Roman...

The totally evil far left “Destiny” finally demonetized by YouTube. This video has plenty of clips of this deranged monster at work. He really should face charges for insurrection and inciting murder.

Well, it looks like AOC is looking to spice things up in 3 years. Alright everyone, you know what to do. Okay, but seriously. If she ran and won ... it would be no laughing matter. Here's Axios' report: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her team are positioning her to run for president or the U.S. Senate in 2028, according to people familiar with her operation ... She's waiting out Chuck Schumer. If the 74-year-old high ranking senator from New York decides to run again (meaning he'd be over 80 at the end of his next term), AOC might decide...

A British police officer has been recorded confronting a Donald Trump supporter over a Facebook post that “upset someone."

President Donald Trump is expected to fire the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after investigators were unable to find incriminating evidence of mortgage fraud against New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to sources. Federal prosecutors in Virginia had uncovered no clear evidence to prove that James had knowingly committed mortgage fraud when she purchased a home in the state in 2023, ABC News first reported earlier this week, but Trump officials pushed U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert to nevertheless bring criminal charges against her, according to sources.

"President Donald Trump and China’s leader Xi Jinping joined a call Friday morning to finalize a deal that would sell most of TikTok’s US assets to American investors. The deal, if reached, would conclude a yearslong effort that began during Trump’s first term and became a key factor in broader negotiations between the United States and China in recent months. Neither side has disclosed terms of the agreement, because it has not been finalized. But sources familiar with the framework said the proposal would involve investments from a number of US-based venture capital firms, private equity funds and tech companies....

VIDEOWhen you see the thumbnail for this video you might think it is a bit hyperbolic with the images of Mao's Little Red Book. However, just a few seconds into this video, you will agree that the images were entirely appropriate after hearing this Oberlin College Commie student speak approvingly of political assassinations, including that of Charlie Kirk, and lovingly quoting Mao to justify them. BTW, I'm not exactly surprised these rantings are from an Oberlin College student since that school has had a reputation for promoting Communist ideology for years.

Thousands gathered on the Boston Common, with dozens of dissenters interrupting, to hold a candlelight vigil for far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ----------------- “Things were already getting a little dicey by the antifa counter-protest, and we hadn’t had any violence yet so it was going good, and I got that call,” Foley said. “They were worried that people were going to probably attack on the way home.” Another protester had ditched a backpack, which ended up being empty, and ran away to create a panic, Foley said.

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities… Luke 8:1–2Our Lord was on a mission. He traveled on foot from one town to another, “preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God.” His message truly was “good news.” He healed the sick, cast out demons and, most importantly, He forgave sins. As a result, many began to follow Him. Not only did His followers...

Albania’s new AI minister, Diella, delivered her first speech to Parliament on Thursday. “I’m not here to replace people, but to help them,” the AI entity created by Microsoft stated in a video displayed before elected human officials. Prime Minister Edi Rama has even opened a social media platform for Diella where the public can allegedly engage with the AI Minister directly. “Hello, I am Diella, Thanks to my hard work as your assistant, I was elected Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence in the new government. My mission now is to make the government’s work easier every day,” a...

“That is, unfortunately, the cancer known as white supremacy,” said the Texas congresswoman after learning about Kirk’s comments about her and the Democratic Party. A month before his shooting death, conservative activist Charlie Kirk attacked U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, blaming her and Democrats for being part of a “sinister” plan to replace white people in America. While discussing the issue of redistricting congressional maps, which played out dramatically in Texas last month, Kirk said on his Aug. 4 podcast show, “The great replacement of white people is far more sinister than any redistricting project.” “That is at the core...

I don't even know what part of me feels kinda broken...I don't know exactly why it feels like it affected me so much...There's something about it that's left me scared first of all...And that's kind of, I think that's what it was, it's just like, that's supposed to be something that's kind of safe, to be able to have a voice, to say something whether people may agree with it or not....I didn't know Charlie..I didn't know a lot of his stuff but I did admire that he was...

Democrats on Capitol Hill are fuming after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel over comments he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and are accusing Republicans of backing censorship and trampling on the First Amendment.

Things haven't been going well for Democrats in recent months. President Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in a landslide and he was given, by voters, GOP majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate. Those "leading" the Democrat Party are aging seriously. New blood is tainted with extremism, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom's radicalism that doesn't even earn the appreciation of all Democrats, much less a cross-section of all voters. Trump Derangement Syndrome is at the pandemic level. Fundraising is off, and the issues all have lined up against them. Under Trump inflation is declining, jobs are working toward a...
