It all begins and ends with Tina Peters. What they have done to Tina is reflective of what they will do to all Americans if we don’t listen to her and end the corruption she exposed in our election system. Without honest and transparent elections in the 2026 Midterms and 2028 Presidential, America as we knew it will be done. Tina Peters exposed the Color Revolution’s most crucial tool of stolen elections, solely intended to destroy America from within. Unfortunately, the best America could do to reward her was to send her to a likely death sentence of 9 years...

A Michigan man fatally shot a teen who broke into his garage and is now facing a manslaughter rap — sparking controversy over the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law. Sivan Wilson, 17, was with six other mainly teenagers when the group broke into Dayton Knapton’s garage in White Lake shortly after 1 a.m. July 8, authorities said. Knapton, 24, got an alert from his home security system, grabbed a .9mm gun, ran outside and fired two shots into the garage through a windowless door, striking Wilson, according to prosecutors and cops. As the group fled, Knapton fired five more shots...

"Danny argues that the truth about the Ukraine–Russia war can no longer be concealed: Ukraine is heading toward a strategic and battlefield defeat, a reality now acknowledged even by strongly pro-Ukraine voices like journalist Julian Röpcke. According to the commentary: Western and Ukrainian leaders have long misrepresented battlefield conditions, offering “PR” optimism while ignoring deteriorating realities. Russia prioritized destroying Ukraine’s armed forces over capturing territory, but is now accelerating territorial gains as Ukrainian capacity collapses. Ukrainian reports and government messaging continue to “sugarcoat” the situation, preventing honest assessment and prolonging unnecessary losses. Russia maintains overwhelming advantages in drones, glide bombs,...

They’re preparing for a Mamdani administration lox, stock and barrel. Jewish New Yorkers are arming themselves before an anti-Israel “mayor who despises us” takes the helm of New York City, several told The Post this week. They want to “have a say in our protection and not have to rely on others,” one said. The morning after mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory, firearms instructors and gun shop owners were flooded with urgent pleas. “It’s getting busy because of him,” said longtime gun safety instructor Lance Dashefsky. … “I always ask people in class why they want a gun,” said Dashefsky. “And...

On Friday, I mentioned that the good people of Chile would go to the polls on Sunday to vote for a new president among other things. As I mentioned, the country's 39-year-old socialist president Gabriel Boric is not very popular, and his approval rating has been around 30% or lower throughout his entire presidency. A lot of that has to do with crime. Homicide rates doubled on his watch, and organized crime, particularly from Venezuela, exploded in Chile. Mass migration from Venezuela — and Haiti — changed entire neighborhoods in the country seemingly overnight and put pressure on infrastructure. The...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed he would deal with the violent "handful of extremists" among Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, following clashes and another attack on Monday. Homes and vehicles in a Palestinian village were torched on Monday evening, hours after members of the so-called Hilltop Youth movement clashed with security forces who were dismantling an illegal settler outpost. In recent weeks, attacks attributed to Israeli settlers, notably those living in outposts, have multiplied, targeting Palestinians and sometimes Israeli soldiers. "I view with great severity the violent riots and the attempt by a handful of extremists to...

“We’re gonna be issuing dividends later on, somewhere prior to — the middle of next year, a little bit later than that,” he said, noting it would include “Thousands of dollars, for individuals of moderate income.” [Scott] Bessent also floated a rough income limit of $100,000 that would disqualify higher income families from receiving the dividend.

The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) reported that troopers have arrested 6,200 illegal migrants during its partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this year.Florida Republican Gov. Ron De Santis had ordered the FHP to partner with ICE early this year, saying that state and local law enforcement agencies would be a “force multiplier” in deportations. “Interior enforcement atrophied under Biden so there will no doubt be a ramp up period,” DeSantis said in January, adding it is “all the more reason why states and localities need to assist the Trump administration with interior enforcement efforts.”The partnership “will be a...

There has been a slew of news stories out of Minnesota detailing rampant fraud of state welfare programs, including the COVID-era "Feeding Our Future" scheme, a housing fraud scandal, and Medicaid scams. Now, "community organizations" are preparing to play the "racism" card in response to these multiple investigations.

When Japan’s newly promoted Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, the nation’s first female leader, first met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, she said she wanted to pursue a “mutually beneficial” relationship as well as to “deepen their personal ties.” “As Japan and China are important partners, the long-term, stable and healthy development of bilateral ties aligns with the common expectations of both our peoples as well as the international community,” Xi said. But just two weeks later, the neighboring countries have fallen into a diplomatic spat that neither side seems eager to climb out from. In Nov. 7 parliamentary remarks, Takaichi...

European Union officials have spent months focused on a plan to use frozen Russian assets to make a loan to Ukraine that could help Kyiv fight the next phase of the war. It is increasingly clear that the bloc has nothing but bad alternatives should that fail. The loan plan, through which the European Union would use Russia’s central bank assets in Belgium to funnel 140 billion euros, or about $160 billion, to Ukraine, was expected to move forward at the bloc’s political meeting last month. Instead, in a last-minute surprise, Belgium blocked it. Belgian officials say they are worried...

Poland’s foreign minister said Sunday that an “offensive” auction of Holocaust artifacts has been canceled in Germany, relaying information from his German counterpart, following complaints from Holocaust survivors. Radoslaw Sikorski made the comments on the X platform, saying he and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul “agreed that such a scandal must be prevented.” The top Polish diplomat thanked Wadephul for the information that the auction was canceled. Earlier, a Holocaust survivors group called on the German auction house Felzmann to cancel Monday’s sale of hundreds of Holocaust artifacts, including letters written by prisoners and other documents that identify many people...

NBC White House correspondent Garrett Haake asked President Donald Trump on Monday if he would sign the bill to release the Epstein Files now that he no longer opposes Republicans voting for it SNIP All I want is for people to recognize a great job that I’ve done on pricing, on affordability, because we brought prices way down, but they go way lower, on energy, on ending eight wars, and another one coming pretty soon, I believe. We’ve done a great job, and I hate to see that deflect from the great job we’ve done. So I’m all for it....

Treatment Action Group (TAG) is profoundly disappointed and outraged at the lack of health care protections for people living with and affected by HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and hepatitis C (HCV) in the bill to end the U.S. government shutdown. With only a promise of a future vote to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits, millions of people now face unaffordable health insurance costs. As we approach World AIDS Day on December 1, we demand that legislators defend access and affordability of health care, especially for those with preexisting conditions.

Keir Starmer is facing another major challenge to his authority as angry Labour MPs vowed to force changes to new hardline migration measures that would bring an escalation in the deportations of children and families. The policies – which include the possibility of confiscating assets from asylum seekers to contribute to costs – have caused significant divisions inside the party, with some MPs accusing their colleagues of not taking seriously public anger about illegal migration and asylum. The Conservatives have said they could support the government to pass the tough new laws in the event of a major Labour rebellion....

Explanation: What has happened to Comet Lemmon's tail? The answer is blowing in the wind — the wind from the Sun in this case. This continuous outflow of charged particles from the Sun has been quite variable of late, as the Sun emits bursts of energy, CMEs, that push out and deflect charged particles emitted by the comet itself. The result is a blue hued ion tail for Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) that is not only impressively intricate but takes some unusual turns. This long-duration composite image taken from Alfacar, Spain last month captured this inner Solar System ionic tumult....

A southern city, Charlotte N.C., is emerging as a human trafficking hotspot due to its convergence of highways, demand for cheap agricultural labor and gang activity. Data found 106 minors were trafficked in Charlotte last year, about half of whom were aged 15 or younger. This was nearly double the 45 to 60 children identified annually between 2018 and 2022, figures from the city's Metro Human Trafficking Task Force showed.
