In a story that’s got self-defense advocates cheering and the radical left fuming, a lone veteran in his home faced down three armed intruders—and dropped all three with precise head and chest shots, ending the threat in seconds. The November 12, 2025, incident, captured on video that’s gone viral, shows the vet’s calm resolve as he protected his life from the break-in crew. But the real jaw-dropper? The mother of one dead thug defending her son, claiming the vet used “excessive force” because they “only tried to rob” him. “My son only tried to rob you, and you took his...

Hunter Biden accuses TRUMP and @elonmusk of committing "GENOCIDE" by ending USAID🚨 "What they did is they went in and they flipped the f*cking switch. And because they flipped that switch, 14 million people are going to die — 4 million of them are going to be children. That's a f*cking genocide!"

Because "equity" demands it, some cities will allow violent criminals to avoid jail over and over if they have the right skin color, religion, gender identity, or other "minority" status. This is what that looks like: [Warning: Violence] VIDEO AT LINK................ William Livingston is a 32-year-old black man with a long rap sheet who has been accused of punching woman after woman, year after year, in random attacks on Chicago sidewalks. Here's a link to the 2022 interview with one of his victims. Authorities have continued to treat Livingston with kids gloves, releasing him back into the public time and...

This is a real head scratcher as why even bother? So much for America First I guess.

The Ten Commandments have long been seen as the backbone of societal laws for thousands of years, but did you know that there were other commandments that didn't make the list? The Babylon Bee consulted with dozens of scholars to uncover the following list of commandments that ended up on the cutting room floor: Remember the sabbath day by wearing your favorite NFL team's jersey to church: Unless it's the Cowboys, for that is sin. Thou shalt install the toilet paper roll with the end of the paper coming out from under, not over, for over is a perversion...

We are all owed an explanation from the @fbi about Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who appears to have been groomed into becoming Trump's attempted assassin. It's been over a year. The official line is implausible and invites conspiracy theories. The president demanded answers months ago. A man was murdered. What is going on?

As things on the domestic side here in the U.S. continue to seem more volatile, we can all be comforted by the fact that China has reportedly figured out how to create a freakin' "outer space particle beam." Good to know. America's chief rival nation and fellow superpower has a space laser. Here's more from ZeroHedge: Particle beams — streams of high-speed atoms or subatomic particles — have long been the holy grail of space warfare. The concept sounds simple: zap an enemy satellite with a beam so intense it melts or fries the target. Reality, however, has been less...

Mayor-elect Zohram Mamdani wants to deploy social workers instead of police officers to respond to 911 calls — but the controversial plan has already been operating in the Big Apple and is failing. -snip B-HEARD launched in 2021 as a pilot program and only operates in some city neighborhoods, but a bleak audit conducted in May by the city comptroller found it was limping — with a whopping 60% of calls deemed ineligible while more than 35% of eligible calls from mental health professionals never got a response. “Calls were considered potentially dangerous, were ineligible because a mental health professional...

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian and fierce anti-Nazi, a man so dangerous to the Nazi movement that he was one of the last people they killed lest he taste liberation, was a man of extraordinary moral courage. For Tucker Carlson, however, he was a failed Christian for having dared to stand up to Hitler (and, probably, for having rescued Jews). One of the problems with being your own boss is that there’s no one around to stop you when you go too far. Another problem with being rich, famous, and your own boss is that the sycophants in your world...

Chaos erupted outside an immigration processing center in Chicago on Thursday when anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators clashed with law enforcement. The incident led to multiple arrests after demonstrators blocked traffic and refused orders to disperse, according to Fox Chicago. Video from the scene shows federal agents and Illinois State Police in scuffles with protesters and then taking several people into custody. The facility is located in Broadview, a western suburb of Chicago about 12 miles from downtown, and has been a longstanding protest site for years.

Most school clubs just hold regular meetings where the students engage in whatever activity or subject they are focused on. The club is about socializing, fun, and self-development. GSAs purport to be just like other clubs, but they are vastly different. A major part of the GSA mission is to “create change” throughout the entire school. The goal is for every student and staff member to accept and support the LGBT agenda (including whatever new “identities” are concocted). And no one dares to openly dissent from the GSA message. The LGBT movement’s radical “change” push is designed to overlay the...

Cloned meat will soon enter Canadian grocery stores without safety reviews or labeling - whereas some Americans have been eating it all along. Health officials recently scrapped a 22-year-old policy that classified cloned meat as novel foods, removing pre-market safety assessments and allowing these products to be sold with no disclosure. The move has sparked surprise in the US, after it was revealed that similar products have quietly been on shelves for years without labels. The FDA approved meat and milk from cloned cattle, swine and goats, along with their offspring, in January 2008. Nearly two decades later, many Americans...

Wall Street Apes shares this: BREAKING: Tucker Carlson announces he is releasing...

Rep. Eric Swalwell predicted Democrats will win the House majority in the 2026 midterms hold Trump officials accountable. Swalwell being referred to the Justice Department on allegations of mortgage fraud, co-host Symone Sanders asked, “You put out a statement shortly after this, after this was made public, saying, ‘Of course I will not end my lawsuit against him.’ Your statement seemed defiant. You are resolute, that you are not afraid. No fear. And I know earlier this year you noted that you knew you could be a target. Now that this is out there for, and it’s been out for...

Exposing Hezbollah: IDF claims terror group murdered prominent Christian-Lebanese critic. Hezbollah's Unit 121 abducted the politician, poisoned him, and staged his body to look like he died in a car accident, the IDF claimed. Christian Lebanese politician, Elias Hasrouni, was assassinated by the Hezbollah terror group he opposed, the IDF confirmed on Friday.

Hunter Biden claimed on the “Wide Awake Podcast” on Nov. 6 that the Sept. 10 assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk benefited President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. Many left-wing individuals celebrated the assassination, as shown in a supercut posted by Grabien News founder Tom Elliot. Biden argued on the podcast that it was unclear why Kirk was killed and that MAGA was the beneficiary because it gave them “righteous indignation.” WATCH: VIDEO AT LINK................... “I’ve never really seen a figure like Charlie Kirk be assassinated pretty much purely because of their beliefs,” host...

Pilots of a Raytheon Hawker 800XP business jet were performing a post-maintenance stall test during a 16 October flight that ended with the jet crashing in Michigan, killing all three people aboard. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says in a preliminary investigation report that a stall test had been required after maintenance technicians performed inspections of the jet’s wings. The inspections involved removing and replacing the wing’s leading edges and “ice protection panels”. The work was performed by maintenance firm Duncan Aviation at its facility in Battle Creek, Michigan. Duncan had given the jet’s primary captain a list...

Iran seized a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker sailing from the United Arab Emirates to Singapore, a US official told the Associated Press on Friday afternoon. The tanker had made a sudden course and began heading toward Iranian territorial waters, British maritime security firm Ambrey noted earlier Friday morning. Ambrey said the tanker, reported 22 nautical miles east of the UAE port of Khor Fakkan, had earlier been approached by three small boats while transiting southbound through the Strait of Hormuz before later deviating course in the Gulf of Oman. The agency said the incident was "likely highly targeted." The United...

President Donald Trump’s administration on Thursday designated four European left-wing groups as terrorist organizations, following through on his vow to crack down on leftists after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The networks targeted by Trump’s Republican administration all appear to be based in Europe, with no operations in the United States. They are an Italian anarchist front that sent explosive packages to the then-president of the European Commission in 2003, two Greek networks believed to have planted bombs outside riot police and labor department buildings in Athens, and an anti-fascist group whose members were prosecuted by German authorities...

Disney is facing substantial financial losses as its carriage dispute with YouTube TV extends into its thirteenth day, leaving millions of viewers without access to ABC, ESPN, and related networks. A Wall Street analysis released this week estimated that the impasse is costing Disney tens of millions of dollars each week. Trump's Sovereign Wealth Fund: What Could It Mean For Your Money? YouTube TV, one of the largest streaming cable replacements in the U.S., dropped Disney-owned channels earlier this month after the companies failed to reach a distribution agreement. The blackout, which began nearly two weeks ago, affects ABC, ESPN,...
