    Tell Me How This Ends ^ | 13 Dec, 2025 | Chris Bray
    I had a visitor from the East Coast, a few weeks ago, and I drove her around the San Fernando Valley to show her what a dismal ----hole it is. But I kept missing all the encampment sites and pirate RV villages, which move around, so we ended up driving around the Encino hills, where my plan to show a visitor how disgusting Los Angeles has become led to the visitor saying that oh my goodness, this is such a pretty neighborhood. I apologized for the absence of squalor. There’s a lot of that going around. A bunch of recent...
  • “White Lives Matter” Slogan Earns Two Dutch Men Imprisonment for Racism

    The prosecutor argued that the slogan “White lives matter” constitutes an insult to people with dark skin. Both suspects, identified as John A. and Daniel S. (25 and 35 years old at the time), lost their appeal and now face six months in prison, which Dutch mainstream media describes as a “light sentence”. They faced charges such as insulting a group, inciting discrimination, disseminating discriminatory messages and possessing discriminatory stickers.

    NY Post ^ | Dec 14, 2026 | Joe Marino, Jamie Paige and Brad Appleton
    LOS ANGELES — Legendary director Rob Reiner and his longtime wife have been found stabbed to death inside their Brentwood home and investigators are eyeing the couple’s troubled adult son as a person of interest, according to law enforcement sources. Officers were called to the home Sunday afternoon, where they discovered a man and woman with stab wounds, according to sources. The Los Angeles Fire Department told NBC Los Angeles that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were found dead inside the home. Post sources confirmed the bodies discovered were the longtime couple, who married in 1989. The couple’s...

    SBS News ^ | December 15, 2025 | Rashida Yosufzai
    National Cabinet has vowed strengthen Australia's gun laws in the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack. In a statement following the snap meeting on Monday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said "immediate" priorities included a crackdown on 3D-printed weapons, tighter limits on the number of firearms a person can own, gun imports, and equipment that can hold large amounts of ammunition. Albanese also said police ministers and attorneys-general across the nation had been tasked with developing a number of policies which would limit Australians' access to firearms. They include a requirement that all licence-holders are Australian citizens, deeper background checks...

    X / Massie / Congress ^ | Dec 12 | Rep. Thomas Massie
    @RepThomasMassie Last night I received a disclosure from a new FBI whistleblower regarding the J6 pipe bomb case. This is the third disclosure I’ve received from current and former employees of the government regarding the pipe bomb case in recent weeks. These brave moral people could lose their jobs and wreck their careers, but they care deeply for our country. So at the risk of editorializing, I will summarize what I learned from this newest disclosure in order not to disclose the identity of this whistleblower. The community where the suspect was arrested is populated with several employees of the...

An active parishioner at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, she was remembered as a grounded, faithful, and bright light in her community. She served as Vice President of the Brown University Republican Club and was described by peers as a staunch conservative unafraid to express her views on a liberal campus. Prior experience included work at Oxbridge Academic Programs and Mountain Brook Creamery

    Trumps Honeymoon is over. Before we count the ways, a couple of simple observations: 1) Why are we surprised? For every action, there is an equal (or greater) reaction. It just took a bit more to get over Shock and Awe. and 2) Why listen to the Democrats when they speak about Republicans? They certainly, when the shoe is on the other foot, don't. And, ditto, that goes for their minions in the press.There, a couple moments of clarity you won't find on 24 hour news.-> It took a while for the Good Old Boy network of the GOP to...

    This is a special time for Christians, Jews and for the Muslims trying to kill them. On October 9, 2023, the Sydney Opera House was supposed to be the scene of a Jewish solidarity rally with the victims of the Oct 7 Islamic massacres in Israel. Muslim mobs instead took over, waving terrorist flags and screaming, “Where are the Jews” and F___ the Jews” while the authorities did nothing. Despite the widespread availability of videos and eyewitness accounts, the authorities and the media vocally denied it ever happened. Arson attacks at two synagogues, one of which was set on fire...
  • It’s Affordability, Stupid?

    American Greatness ^ | Dec 15 2025 | victor davis hanson
    The recent Democratic cry of “affordability” is ironic in many ways. The left-wing narrative of Trump hyperinflation was one of desperation and came only after previous memes had failed to resonate. The 2025 generic “dictator,” “fascist,” and “Nazi” smear points never helped the left much. Nor did the nihilist government shutdown over the “Obamacare crisis” work other than perhaps to depress fourth-quarter GDP. Nor did the earlier spring 2025 melodramatic predictions of an impending “Trade War,” “Recession,” and stock-market “Meltdown resonate.” Nor did the “Gestapo,” “SS,” and “Nazi” ICE smears become effective talking points. The “illegal orders” and “unconstitutional use...

    The purification of the temple and city. Other exploits of Judas. His victory over Timotheus. 1 But Machabeus, and they that were with him, by the protection of the Lord, recovered the temple and the city again. 2 But he threw down the altars, which the heathens had set up in the streets, as also the temples of the idols. 3 And having purified the temple, they made another altar: and taking fire out of the fiery stones, they offered sacrifices after two years, and set forth incense, and lamps, and the loaves of proposition. 4 And when they had...

    The wretched end, and fruitless repentance of king Antiochus. 1 At that time Antiochus returned with dishonour out of Persia. 2 For he had entered into the city called Persepolis, and attempted to rob the temple, and to oppress the city: but the multitude running together to arms, put them to flight: and so it fell out that Antiochus being put to flight returned with disgrace. 3 Now when he was come about Ecbatana, he received the news of what had happened to Nicanor and Timotheus. 4 And swelling with anger he thought to revenge upon the Jews the injury...

    Six United Nations peacekeepers from Bangladesh were killed on Saturday in a drone strike on Sudan's southern Kordofan region, the UN mission said, with Dhaka sharply condemning the attack. The United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) said "six troops were killed and six injured", including four seriously, when a drone hit their camp in Kadugli, the capital of South Kordofan state. All of the victims are from Bangladesh, it said.

    “‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches’” (Matthew 13:31–32). Even though the Lord Jesus in this parable speaks accurately about the size of the mustard seed and the size and use of its tree-like adult form, His purpose in the illustration is proverbial, not scientific. In context of His teachings about...

    politico ^ | Dec 14 | By Nico Portuondo
    Republicans on Capitol Hill who have championed the tech industry’s race to dominate artificial intelligence are confronting a growing political obstacle: voters angry over the soaring energy demands and utility costs tied to the data centers. The politics of data centers are still very much in flux, but GOP politicians may be particularly vulnerable to a voter backlash because of their pro-development views and President Donald Trump’s all-in support for AI — including blocking states from setting their own rules. Some are starting to seek distance from the White House. Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis floated new limits on data...
