I have noticed over the last few months media reports that there are 10 million illegal aliens in the U.S. And now a small group in the U.S. House of Representatives is using that number to ask for amnesty. Others are addressing the horrible idea itself. This article is a focus on the number they are pushing. This number stood out to me because President Biden let in at least 10 million illegal aliens, and I thought there were more than 10 million in the U.S. before President Biden was elected. My radar went on full alert. So I did...

We are all owed a better explanation from the FBI and Secret Service about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump 16 months ago at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa. The president himself remains unsatisfied with the answers he’s been given about the circumstances leading to 20-year-old Thomas Crooks climbing on a rooftop with an AR-15 style rifle and firing eight times at Trump, narrowly missing his head but hitting his ear. [snip] Thanks to an enterprising source who uncovered Crooks’ hidden digital footprint, we can see that Abbate misled Congress by omission, because he left out an entire section...

As long as white people are obliterated, globalists are happy. In ten years, the white population percentage in London went from 86% to 36%. Now, take a look at New York City. In 1970, the white population was 60.72%. It went to 56.01% in 1980 after the 1965 Immigration Law. Today, it is 30.9%.

I began my career with Allegheny County Pretrial Services in April 2008. I was sworn in by a judge, issued a badge, and placed into a system built on neutrality and public safety. Our job was simple: interview defendants, verify information, review police reports, pull complete criminal histories, and present magistrates with fact-based recommendations. We weren’t advocates for release or detention. We were there to present facts. And for a long time, the system worked because facts were the only thing that mattered. Failures to appear happened, but they were usually honest mistakes. Multiple pending cases were rare. Dangerous charges...

A beloved steakhouse that once helped define the American dining boom is mounting an unlikely comeback — decades after its glory days burned into the memories of millions. Sizzler, the budget-friendly chain famous for its salad bar, sizzling platters and golden cheese toast, was once everywhere. In its heyday, the brand operated more than 770 restaurants nationwide, making it one of the largest casual-dining chains in America — as recognizable as Pizza Hut, Red Lobster or Shoney’s. Born in 1958 in Culver City, California, Sizzler was the creation of Del and Helen Johnson, who opened a simple steakhouse with one...

Decades ago, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established a regulatory requirement to report the taking of grizzly bears in self-defense in the lower 48 states.From 50 C.F.R. 17.40(b)(1)(i)(B):Grizzly bears may be taken in self-defense or in defense of others, but such taking shall be reported by the individual who has taken the bear or his designee within 5 days of occurrence… The penalties for failing to report to the authorities within 5 days are up to six months in prison and a $25,000 fine.Tim Sundles of Buffalo Bore Ammunition recently created a video about handguns for defense against wild...

my wife and I had just arrived at our new parish. Something I’d not anticipated, however, were the serious theological challenges that were awaiting me in my new church, which was embroiled in debate regarding the nature of the Godhead, particularly the nature of Christ and the personhood of the Holy Spirit. As so often happens, the church was divided into two camps: the majority supported official Adventist teachings, while the minority, consisting of sincere church members, believed that the Adventist Church had erred in embracing the doctrine of the Trinity. This group agitated for a return to the teachings...

The political assassination of Charlie Kirk continues to impact America. Charlie’s conservative nonprofit organization, Turning Point USA, has seen a surge in membership. There are reports across the country of increased church attendance, as lapsed congregants contemplate the sacrifice Charlie made to spread a Christian message. Conservative and Christian Americans are expressing themselves more boldly on social media platforms and college campuses. An equally important, though darkly troubling, consequence of his murder has been the deluge of mockery and hatred from leftists celebrating Charlie’s death. Antifa-aligned groups show up on college campuses to attack Turning Point staff and prevent students...

The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) flight reduction emergency order will officially end Monday morning, allowing normal operations to resume nationwide, according to officials. The order will be lifted at 6 a.m. ET Monday following recommendations from the FAA’s safety team. The decision came after safety reviews and improvements in air traffic control staffing levels across the U.S., according to a Sunday announcement from the FAA. "I want to thank the FAA’s dedicated safety team for keeping our skies secure during the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history and the country’s patience for putting safety first," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy...

“‘All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him’” (Matthew 11:27). Any genuine invitation to salvation such as Jesus gives here must include mention of God’s revelation. Nobody, even the most sincerely religious or philosophically determined, has ever obtained real salvation unless God sovereignly revealed it—and such revelation has to include the truth that Jesus Christ is God. Jesus without doubt or qualification equates Himself with God and calls Himself...

A Texas mother’s viral TikTok is sparking outrage after she shared footage of her daughter, Karrie Jones, in visible agony while waiting to be admitted for labor at Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite, Texas. The video, posted by Jones’ mother Kash (@kashman2814), has now been viewed more than 23 million times. In the clip, Jones is seen doubled over in a wheelchair as a nurse asks admission questions. Her mother wrote in the text overlay that the staff kept her daughter in the waiting area for “more than 30 mins,” and that Jones’ son was born just “12 min...

His charges include chronic...

The Republican Party should be a big tent, but that big tent shouldn’t include Democrats or Democrat collaborators. Members of our party, from weakness, malice, or delusions of moral superiority, have been betraying us left and right lately, with political mediocrities empowered by the fact that the margins are so close and the issues are so important that even the most ridiculous of these alleged Republicans can seize a moment of outsized power simply by sucking up to the regime media. Much of the focus lately has been on marginal twerps who aren’t even Republicans – that malignant rodent Nick...

There comes a point at which you have to be amazed by how it is Democrats can find new and creative ways to embarrass the species to which we all belong. The thing to remember about the political left is that there is literally no bottom for them to hit, only an endless pit of shame, stupidity and hypocrisy through which they forever fall. That’s how you end up with the party putting up known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein as a would-be character assassin against President Donald Trump.

President Trump said Sunday that House Republicans should vote to release the files related to late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — a surprising reversal after previously dissuading the GOP from backing the measure. “House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” he wrote on Truth Social Sunday evening. A discharge petition for the House to vote to force the Justice Department to release all additional Epstein...
