So it's not just raw, untreated, Tijuana sewage that's flowing into the U.S., creating the nation's filthiest beaches, it's also raw, untreated trash. The recent rains in the area have drawn attention to what else is coming in -- and it's not pretty. According to Border Report:Landfills in San Diego County have begun receiving some 40 tons of trash and debris from Mexico that a trash boom stopped last month near the border. Alter Terra, a binational environmental group, set up the boom in the Tijuana River channel, and it only took one hour to collect all that trash. Initial...

A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do! "Lucy" Lauser is a dude who dresses like a woman and is somehow a city councilor in Stevenson, Washington. Lauser was cited for appearing topless at a local protest. From The Post Millennial: Lauser's legal troubles stem from a July 4, 2025, protest outside the Skamania County Courthouse in downtown Stevenson, a small community of about 1,500 residents. During the demonstration, Lauser exposed his breasts by removing his shirt. He had painted one arm red, taped his mouth and nipples in black, and inscribed 'woman, life, freedom' across his chest. The...

Nov. 18 should henceforth be recognized as far more dangerous than Jan. 6 ever was. Far more shocking. And an actual attempt at fomenting an insurrection, a coup. The “Nov. 18ers” should be forever shamed and discredited. Rather than hundreds of unruly Trump supporters strolling through the Capitol building, many of whom were subsequently incarcerated for doing so, we have just witnessed six sitting Democratic lawmakers openly urge members of the military and intelligence community to defy direct orders from the president of the United States. Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) posted a video to social media Tuesday morning in which...

@RepTimBurchett I’m ticked off. Let’s see if we have the guts to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks. Thank you to @RepBryanSteil and @HouseAdmin for holding a hearing on this issue. It’s time to prove to America that we are working for them, not just for ourselves.

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) made a criminal referral for a top prosecutor on the team of special counsel Jack Smith, arguing that by refusing to answer some questions, Thomas Windom had engaged in an “intentional, corrupt effort to thwart the Committee’s inquiry.”

Target sinks to new low as customers flee in droves - forcing bosses into drastic move Inflation-weary shoppers are steering clear of Target's messy, understaffed stores. On Wednesday morning, the Minneapolis chain with 1,980 stores said third-quarter profit took yet another hit, deepening a slide that has now stretched across three straight years. Target's slump comes from a four-headed monster: shabby stores, sinking staff morale, jittery investors, and a leadership shake-up waiting in the wings. And the pain isn't ending anytime soon. Executives warned the sales slump will drag straight through the critical holiday shopping season. To stop the bleeding,...

How many times does an undergraduate economics student hear the name “Hayek” in his or her courses? The answer, in most programs, is close to zero. This is surprising. Friedrich Hayek remains one of the most cited Nobel laureates in economics—second only to Kenneth Arrow in mentions and citations in Nobel lectures, according to research from King’s College London. His ideas on the knowledge problem and the economic calculation debate are fundamental to understanding the limits of central planning and the role of markets. And yet, in most classrooms, Hayek’s name never appears. Why? Because economics education today is not...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) goes on House floor and makes an embarrassing mistake as she accuses certain Republicans of taking money from Jeffrey Epstein. Credit: C-SPAN screenshot Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) provided some unintentional comic relief right before the House decided to give her fellow Democrat, Stacey Plaskett, a pass regarding her dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House of Representatives on Tuesday evening voted against censuring Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.) over her collusion with Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing. The House voted 214 -209 against censuring Plaskett. Every Democrat voted against the censure, while...

The USDA is “crunching numbers” as it considers potential relief for farmers from tariff-related losses, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Stephen A. Vaden said Monday. President Donald Trump’s administration previously hinted that it might devote up to $12 billion to aid payments for farmers who were hurt by tariff policies this year, Politico reported in late October. “This department only woke back up on Thursday of last week,” Vaden said, referencing the Nov. 12 conclusion of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. “Lots of things changed during (the government shutdown),” including trade agreements with China, Southeast Asia, Pakistan, and...

Explanation: Sometimes the dark dust of interstellar space has an angular elegance. Such is the case toward the far-south constellation of Chamaeleon. Normally too faint to see, dark dust is best known for blocking visible light from stars and galaxies behind it. In this 11.4-hour exposure, however, the dust is seen mostly in light of its own, with its strong red and near-infrared colors creating a brown hue. Contrastingly blue, a bright star Beta Chamaeleontis is visible on the upper right of the V, with the dust that surrounds it preferentially reflecting blue light from its primarily blue-white color. All...

Ice agent dragged with a vehicle, rounds from the shooting attack on Texas Ice Facility. Photo courtesy of ICE. Attacks on ICE agents have significantly increased, an 8,000 percent increase in death threats reported by the Department of Homeland Security in 2025 compared to the same period last year. Some sources also cite a 500 percent increase in all assaults on ICE agents. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin warned that criminals, including illegal aliens and U.S. citizens, are now using cars as weapons against federal agents, placing both officers and the public at risk. She emphasized that DHS officers will continue...

he Biden administration hid critical information about Thomas Matthew Crooks — the person who shot President Donald Trump and three others in Butler, Pennsylvania — throughout the 2024 election, according to a report from the New York Post. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under Biden appears to have knowingly lied to Congress, misled the American people, and, at best, was negligent in its duty to track Crooks after he reportedly made numerous statements about committing political violence and assassinations. The NYP received information from a source showing that Crooks did have a history of significant online activity, despite then-Biden...

Tom Steyer, the billionaire climate activist and businessman who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2020, is the latest Democrat to jump into California’s crowded gubernatorial field. His two core promises — which could appear at odds — are to preserve the state’s status as a hub for business and innovation while also lowering California’s cost of living by making corporations pay “their fair share,” he said in a video message.
