Elon Musk recently asked a question that millions of Americans have been asking for years: “Who sends them their instructions!? Real question.” He was reacting to a familiar spectacle, within minutes or hours of an event, leading Democrats, left leaning pundits, and drive-by media outlets suddenly begin using the same phrase, the same framing, sometimes almost the same sentence, on TV, on 𝕏, and across the web. The pattern is so obvious that it has become a kind of dark joke on the right. We all see the copies, the question is whether there is in fact a script....

The Who's Roger Daltrey has been knighted for his services to charity and to music. The 81-year-old singer received his honour from the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle yesterday (December 10) and told the Press Association that he considered the award to be "an incredible honour". "I was born in the Second World War and grew up in the streets in London," he said, "for a kid like me, achieving this, it's a dream.” Daltrey was responsible for launching and curating the Teenage Cancer Trust's annual week of charity benefit shows at London's Royal Albert Hall: the initiative has...

A woman is recovering from life-altering injuries after police say she was the victim of a chemical attack near Forsyth Park on Wednesday night. The assault happened near West Waldburg and Whitaker streets, just steps from one of the city’s most visited landmarks.

Close encounters of the delusional kind. A Florida whacko accused of stealing a BMW told cops he was “teleported” into the luxury car on orders from the “X-Men” — and later thanked the officers for saving him from “aliens” he claimed were after him, according to nutty police bodycam footage. Calvin Johnson, 36, was arrested Monday afternoon after swiping the unlocked flashy car from Bicentennial Park in Ormond Beach and wrecking it minutes later while barreling down a nearby highway at 130 mph, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. The car’s owner told police he was walking his dog...

CHICAGO, Dec 13 (Reuters) - The windowless newsroom of The Phoenix, the Loyola University Chicago newspaper, hums like an old refrigerator. A coffee pot burbles in the corner as juniors Julia Pentasuglio and Ella Daugherty lean over a glowing laptop, updating a Google map. Each red pin marks a sighting of federal immigration agents near campus and the surrounding neighborhoods. Nearby, editor-in-chief Lilli Malone scrolls through reports from Rogers Park, a neighborhood along Chicago's lakefront where 80 languages mix. There were new pins from seven sightings that day alone - reports of vans barreling down side streets, masked immigration officers...

The government has identified 18,000 known or suspected terrorists who reached the U.S. during the Biden administration, senior officials told Congress on Thursday. Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said they represent a “persistent” threat inside the country. “The No. 1 threat that we have right now in my view is the fact that we don’t know who came into our country in the last four years of Biden’s open borders,” Mr. Kent told the House Homeland Security Committee as part of a hearing on worldwide threats. He said the 18,000 are just the ones his agency has...

If you’ve been dreaming of a white Christmas, be warned that it might not become a reality. Many people have memories of watching the snow fall on Christmas Day—but data shows that, across the country, a white Christmas occurs less frequently than you might think. In general, if an area has widespread snow and persistently colder patterns leading up to Christmas, it could be a predictor of snow on Christmas. But while many people across the country might lament the white Christmases of their youth, the truth is that many places typically don’t see snow in late December—people just think...

A man was sentenced to life in prison for stabbing a 67-year-old grandmother to death on a Metro train in Los Angeles.

“I’m not going [up] to a Christian to tell him ‘I hate you’… but that does not deny the fact I do.” Should foreign nationals who hate America be allowed to come here and be allowed to stay here? Should they be able to set up institutions to preach their hatred for Americans? The North Miami Islamic Center, aka ‘Masjid As Sunnah An Nabawiyyah Miami’, which claims to be “one of the largest Islamic Centers in the state of Florida” made headlines before when Imam Fadi Yousef Kablawi called for the destruction of the Jews. Among his supplications at the...

Military analyst Denys Popovych said on Radio NV that Russian troops are currently encircled near Kupyansk and explained how Ukrainian forces carried out a successful operation there on Dec. 13. There are now encircled Russian army units in the city that are clearly in the final stage of their presence there. Cleanup operations are ongoing, and it is impossible to predict when they will end. Why do the Russians make such statements about capturing Kupyansk? They are taking territory on credit. They need it to demonstrate that they are advancing and achieving success. They lost Kupyansk during our Kharkiv counteroffensive,...

The National Guardsman who was shot in the head in late November in Washington, D.C., is making "extraordinary progress," as he "is now breathing on his own and can stand with assistance," a neurosurgeon revealed. MedStar Washington Hospital Center’s Jeffrey Mai provided the update on U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, as U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, who was killed in the Nov. 26 attack, was laid to rest this week in West Virginia. Gov. Patrick Morrisey described Tuesday’s ceremony for her as "incredibly moving." "Sixteen days ago, Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe was airlifted to MedStar Washington Hospital...

Halfway through a Wyoming legislative committee’s four-week budget-planning marathon Friday, a top lawmaker asked the state’s adjutant general about the prevalence of unidentified flying objects overhead, which the government now calls unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Wyoming Adjutant General Greg Porter’s answer was that he couldn’t field that question in public. “I’m asking if you’ve had any incidents of UAPs over your airspace?” asked Senate Appropriations Chair Tim Salazar, R-Riverton, during Friday's meeting of the committee at the state Capitol in Cheyenne. “For our air space, no. I’m aware of some other ones — near some other federal facilities — that...

A grieving Colorado uncle allegedly body-slammed the defense attorney who was representing his nephew’s accused killer, knocking him unconscious and fracturing his spine. Daniel Ashby, 36, was charged with second-degree assault for using an “MMA-style takedown” on attorney H. Michael Steinberg inside the Arapahoe County Courthouse in Littleton, Colo., on Monday, CBS Colorado reported. Ashby was attending a court hearing for 19-year-old Christopher Ramirez-Rodriguez, who is accused of running a red light and killing Ashby’s 12-year-old nephew in July.

Reality is a constant reminder of – what is real. Democrats have lost the con, lost their way, and are just lost. We still hear wild, politically charged, wheel-spinning attacks on President Trump – as he restores individual liberties, shrinks government, deports illegals, hits drug traffickers, stops state-sponsored terror, and speaks up for faith, freedom, our Founders’ genius, and biology. He is right. John Adams, vice president to George Washington, was another president with spine, often disliked for his resolve, determination, outsized personality, and penchant for action – but he got things done. Our early presidents loved the Constitution; they...

Daily Readings from the USCCBMemorial of Saint Lucy, Virgin and MartyrAs they were coming down from the mountain, the disciples asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” Matthew 17:9a & 10The final book of the Old Testament, written by the prophet Malachi around the fifth century BC, contains a prophecy that Elijah would return to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah (see Malachi 3:23–24). The scribes used this prophecy to argue that Jesus could not be the Messiah since Elijah had not yet returned, at least not in the way they expected....

Just over a year ago, the whole site was nothing but dirt and cornfields. Seven buildings are operating now, and once complete, the site will have around 30 buildings and consume some 2.2 gigawatts of power. CNBC went to the small town of New Carlisle, Indiana, to talk to locals who are worried about the impact on their community and electric bills - and to get a first...

The law did not require Jews to be at the Temple in Jerusalem, as this was not one of the pilgrimage festivals. Every one observed it in his own place, not as a holy time. Jesus was there that He might improve those eight days of holiday for good purposes. Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch when the Sadduciens asked him “How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ tell us.” They pretended to want to know the truth, as if they were ready to embrace it; but it was not their intention....
