On Saturday, September 20, 2025, hundreds of people gathered at Patriots’ Corner, where Imperial Highway intersects with Yorba Linda Boulevard in Yorba Linda, California, to take part in a candlelight vigil for Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on September 10. Leandra Blades, a trustee on the board of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District served as the master of ceremonies

Meanwhile, a new poll shows a majority of voters believe it’s appropriate to fire employees who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s murder online. ============================================================= A week’s vacation from his “comedy” show didn’t make Jimmy Kimmel any funnier, less bitter, or more likeable. In fact, the late-night host returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday — on fewer ABC local affiliate stations — sounding more partisan and petulant than ever. Kimmel offered no apology for the lies he told about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, comments that earned him an “indefinite,” short-lived suspension from his corporate bosses. The poster-child for Trump Derangement Syndrome thumbed his nose...

Back in February, a Turkish refugee named Hamit Coskun decided to protest Islam by burning a Quran outside the Turkish Embassy in London. Coskun is an atheist who left Turkey in 2022 to flee government persecution. As he stood outside the embassy, a crazed Muslim named Moussa Kadri, attacked him with a knife while shouting "I'm going to kill you." The entire incident was captured on video. [Warning: The Religion of Peace] https://x.com/i/status/1970548029024543034 Months later, the judge in the case has allowed Kadri to go free. That's right, the psycho knife-wielder who tried to kill a guy for insulting his...

If you read the latest Trump Truth (that is what he calls his posts on Truth Social) that is posted above, you will come to the reasonable conclusion that Trump has either changed his position on the war in Ukraine and accepted the delusional beliefs of General Kellogg or he is engaged in some massive sarcasm. Well, based on what happened subsequently at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), it looks like Trump was doing sarcasm. Following Trump’s meeting with Zelensky, France, Germany, the UK, and Ukraine proposed a resolution to the UNSC that called for an immediate ceasefire in...

A sniper killed at least one migrant and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, then shot himself dead, police say. The bloodbath unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning. The Dallas Police Department told Daily Mail in a statement that two people were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds, and one victim died at the scene. The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted on X that there had been 'multiple victims...

A huge sinkhole measuring 98 square feet has opened up on a road in Bangkok, Thailand, disrupting traffic and prompting evacuations. Part of Samsen Road in the Thai capital — which is in the midst of monsoon season — collapsed in front of a school at around 7:00 a.m. local time on Wednesday, Sept 24, according to the Royal Thai Police (RTP). The hole is also very close to a hospital and a police station. “Vajira Hospital, Samsen Road, Dusit District, Bangkok, is a hole 30 x 30 meters wide [98 feet x 98 feet], 50 meters deep [160 feet],...

Apologies to readers who live in America for cluttering up your inbox with a message about Crazyland. SB 771 is sitting on the desk of our sociopathic governor, and it’s a bill to punish hate speech by punishing social media platforms that carry it. The opening section defines the problem that the bill is trying to solve, and it starts with “anti-immigrant slurs,” which inflict “hate-motivated harm.” On the day when every warm and kind lawn sign liberal on the planet is warning that taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air for a couple of episodes is precisely identical to what...

I talk a lot about the Founding Fathers but you should not think that this means I forgot about our Founding Mothers. In the early 1900s, an effort was made to catalog early prominent women in the U.S. and the British Colonies. The result of that effort is a three-volume set, "The Pioneer Mothers of America". Here we have the release of the first volume, which covers the years prior to the 1700s and some of the early 1700s. The second volume contains the bulk of our Founding Mothers and many of the Wives of the Signers, however this book...

Next month sees Windows 10 finally reaching the end of (mainstream) support. Microsoft has been pushing people towards Windows 11 for what feels like forever, and it worked – for a while. The latest market figures show that this is changing. The statistics for August 2025 from statcounter Global Stats show a marked drop in Windows 11’s share of the desktop market. Rewinding a little bit through time, June 2025 was a significant month because it marked the point at which Windows 11 finally caught up (well, very nearly) with Windows 10. Windows 11 managed to reach a market share...

At least three people were shot and two were killed, including the attacker, in a shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday, Fox News confirmed. The shooting reportedly occurred as ICE officers were transferring detainees into the facility. The shooter died due to a self-inflicted wound, authorities say. The other shooting victims were detainees and no law enforcement officers were hurt in the incident. High-ranking Dallas Police Department sources told Fox News the shooting occurred at roughly 6:30 a.m. local time. They say no law enforcement officers were injured, but that three detainees were shot and one...

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev responded on Wednesday to United States President Donald Trump's comments about the Ukraine conflict by stating that he "has once again fallen into an alternate reality." The US president "issued a series of political incantations on the theme of 'How weak Russia is'" Medvedev wrote on Telegram. "After meeting with the clowns in Kiev and Paris, he published a colorful post. It mentions Kiev's final victory, a return to the former borders, Russia's failed military economy, queues for gasoline, and a 'paper tiger.'" Moreover, Medvedev went on to suggest that Trump "will return....

A new study explains that time travel itself eventually leads to a reality without it. Is time travel truly possible? The prospect presents its fair share of paradoxes. Of course, there are famous logical examples, such as the Grandfather paradox, which explores what would happen if a time traveler killed their grandparent before their parent was conceived (an idea not so far removed from the plot of the sci-fi great Back to the Future). Other paradoxes are more concerned with mathematical or physical impossibilities within our current understanding of space-time—even though time travel is theoretically possible through phenomena like closed...

"A democracy thrives on the freedom of choice — but that wasn't even granted to the citizens". Germany’s left have long claimed that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a threat to democracy, and due to this claim, they argue the party should be banned entirely. Although banning parties is typically reserved for authoritarian regimes, this outcome remains a very real possibility in Germany, and a local election in the city of Ludwigshafen just showed what such an outcome could look like in practice. Incredibly, the main candidate for the AfD, Joachim Paul, was banned from running in the mayoral...

America Is Reaching A Boiling PointI am deeply saddened by what is happening to our country. America is reaching a boiling point, and it appears that we have entered a new era of civil unrest in which political violence will become the norm. At this moment in our history, we should all be denouncing political violence as loudly as we can. Unfortunately, there are many voices that are loudly calling for more political violence. I have been warning that this time would come for so many years, and now it is here. The “left” deeply hates the “right”, and the...

Disney (DIS) has had a rough week. It faced a massive boycott from customers after briefly pulling the plug on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” a late-night talk show on ABC. The decision to suspend the show came after comedian Jimmy Kimmel made jokes relating to President Donald Trump’s reaction to the death of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10. Disney’s decision to cut the show sparked a huge boycott from consumers, who threatened to cancel their Disney vacations and streaming services such as Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. Many consumers claimed that canceling the show over Kimmel’s...

At least two detainees and a suspect are dead following a shooting at the Dallas Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) Field office early Wednesday morning. Sources confirmed to the news outlet that one shooter was found dead on the roof of a nearby immigration attorney’s office. The identity of the shooter has not been released. Police are still searching for another sniper, or potentially several other shooters. Acting director of ICE Todd Lyons confirmed in an interview with CNN that the shooter died of a self-inflicted wound. “Preliminary information is a possible sniper,” Lyons said. “We have three individuals that are...

Federal agents executing a search warrant at the downtown office of former National Security Adviser John Bolton in late August seized a cache of documents marked as classified, according to court documents. The office mission was the second such search conducted by the FBI following an early-morning raid at Bolton's home. The application for the warrant at his office, according to the filing, was to search for "evidence of a crime" and to locate potential "contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed." An inventory of the property taken at Bolton's office indicates several electronic devices, as well as...

I'm not a hat wearer, but finally decided to get a MAGA hat. Since I look awful in red, I'm in the market for a black one. What are the verified sources for these? I know there are a lot of pretenders hawking them on the internet, and didn't want to get burned.

Today’s left has mastered the art of self-delusion. These people have gone totally off the “reality rails.” But nothing proves this more than the “Queers for Palestine” crowd. These are the Antifa-style activists who spend all day sneering at Christianity, yet trip all over themselves to defend Muslims – a religion and culture that wants absolutely nothing to do with them. It’s beyond absurd. Christianity might offend them, but Islam would imprison them, beat them, or worse – kill them – for simply being who they are. And yet, they still carry water for all things Muslim. Talk about Stockholm...
