🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (6/29/26)[Prayer]Personalities1 Samuel 1-14-28 19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the Lord remembered her. 20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the Lord. 21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the Lord the yearly sacrifice, and his vow....

Among our “climate leader” jurisdictions, Britain is a serious contender for the top spot. Sure Germany got started earlier than Britain, with the so-called “Energiewende” going back to the 1990s; and upstart American states like California and New York each think that their own hair shirt energy restrictions should qualify them for the number one position. But Britain’s suite of policies in the aggregate is hard to top: mandatory Net Zero goals set by statute; madcap buildout of wind and solar electricity generation; shuttering of generation from coal and natural gas; refusal to permit drilling in the North Sea; complete...

Former President Joe Biden delivered a sharp critique of President Donald Trump during a speech to Maryland Democrats on Saturday night. Speaking at the Maryland Democratic Party’s “Fight Back & Win” gala, Biden said Trump isn't focused on addressing Americans’ problems. “It’s simply stunning to me. He has no shame,” Biden said. Biden criticized Trump’s changes around Washington, D.C., including the White House ballroom and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. “These are vanity projects,” Biden said. “They’re not about making people’s lives better.” Biden referred to Trump as “a loser” for using his "pool guy" to do the Reflecting Pool...

I had never heard of Citizen Vigilante, Uwe Boll's new film starring Armie Hammer, until a few days ago. That's when I read that this movie has been effectively banned in Germany and the United Kingdom. Something about it encouraging violence against migrants. But then Elon Musk made Citizen Vigilante available to watch for free on his X (formerly Twitter) platform. Something that would avoid the censorious thought police and let the people see and decide on their own. Which only made the German and British governments even more furious. Rush Limbaugh called it the "Streisand Effect": trying to keep...

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who has served nearly 40 years in Congress to become one of its most influential power brokers, on Monday announced who she will take on when she leaves office in January: UC Berkeley students. The Nancy Pelosi Institute for Representative Democracy, to be launched with tens of millions of dollars in gifts from Pelosi and other donors, will seek to bring leading scholars to campus, cultivate students’ ambitions for public service, and position itself as a Bay Area counterweight to major university political institutes that frequently attract former members of Congress and White House staff. Pelosi (D-San...

Pete Buttigieg's harrowing swatting story from last week is now coming under scrutiny, suggesting he may not be telling the entire truth. As TGP's Jordan Conradson reported, Buttigieg claims he was swatted this week by Child Protective Service agents and separated from his four-year-old twins. Buttigieg ran to Substack to write a column about the incident. Describing himself as "bewildered and troubled," Buttigieg said that "the CPS worker told me something that made my stomach turn: I was not to be alone around the children, at least until the interview took place the next day." After a "sleepless night," he...

... "One of the things that we should have pride about, and that all around the country, I think people look in envy about the fact that Illinois truly does step up and protect our LGBTQ+ community," Pritzker said, "and we're not going to stop." One of the bills Pritzker signed, HB4834, removes testosterone from the Illinois Prescription Monitoring Program — the electronic database that collects information about specific medications and treatments. The bill also prevents the addition of estrogen, mifepristone, and misoprostol — the latter two of which are used to end pregnancies early — to the monitoring program....

The full release of the film on X triggered a wave of reactions against Germany’s decision to block its commercial distribution. A scene from the film Citizen Vigilante - Screenshot from the video of Citizen Vigilante on XElon Musk has once again placed X at the centre of the cultural conflict between the United States and Europe by publishing Citizen Vigilante in full on his social media platform. This is the action thriller directed by Uwe Boll and starring Armie Hammer that Germany has kept out of its normal distribution channels. The film, which was posted as available to watch...

The twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela this week were not merely acts of nature—they laid bare decades of deliberate neglect and ideological folly. A magnitude 7.2 quake followed seconds later by a 7.5 temblor devastated the northern coast near Caracas, particularly La Guaira state, collapsing buildings and claiming at least 1,430 lives as of the latest reports, with tens of thousands still missing. Rescue workers sifting through the rubble made a grim discovery: entire apartment complexes, many erected under Hugo Chávez’s “Grand Housing Mission,” were little more than facades held together by Styrofoam and thin concrete shells. Video from the...

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) celebrated Somali Independence Day, stating that the people of Minneapolis “stand with” Somali immigrants. In a post on X, Frey shared a video in which he stated that the Somali community in Minneapolis was seen as “family” and not as immigrants. In his post, Frey wrote that Minneapolis celebrated “the resilience, culture, and leadership that continue to enrich” the city and community. “Through the most difficult of times and through Operation Metro Surge, we all saw that they tried to come for some of us,” Frey said. “And, when that happens, we say that you’re...

In the choice between thriving capitalism and over-taxed regulatory hell, money speaks louder than Eurocratic political hype. The American economy is leaving Europe behind. It is happening in real time, and nothing can stop it. America has chosen the future; Europe has chosen its own demise. This is not just a slogan. It is the cold, hard truth visible in stack upon stack of economic statistics. The fact that Europe’s political leadership remains blind, deaf, and willfully ignorant of the economic decline of their continent is one of history’s many self-imposed tragedies. Few numbers are as devastating to a nation’s...

DALLAS — After 60 years of Republican domination in southern states, a new coalition of Democrats is eager to end GOP control in the South. This “New Southern Strategy" was organized by the Texas House Democratic Caucus Chair Gene Wu, D-Houston. His idea is to bring together Democratic legislative leaders from Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas and other southern states. The new coalition just met in Atlanta for the first time. Lawmakers discussed strategies for responding to Republican legislation in their respective states. Wu said that Democrats have historically fought similar political battles independently but now suggests a collective...

The coddling of Jew haters in our public schools has reached a new low. A Boston-area middle school principal sought to address growing antisemitism in the community by hosting a lesson on the Holocaust. But when Arab students were offended by the lesson about the historic Jewish genocide, he wrote a lengthy apology expressing contrition that they felt “left out or erased.” “The email message from William Diamond Middle School Principal Dr. Johnny Cole, of Lexington, Massachusetts, was sent to families following a presentation that connected Holocaust education to contemporary antisemitism — at a time when hatred of Jews has...

@Independent Sir John Major has slammed "ragbag" Reform UK for its scapegoating of Muslims and migrants, claiming the party has nothing positive to offer Britain.

The Trump Mobile T1 Phone appears to be available for outright purchase for the first time, after the pre-order notice was removed from the company’s website. The $499 handset is essentially a repainted HTC U24 Pro from 2024, and it follows a long stretch of delays, an FTC inquiry, and reports that the device is only assembled, not built, in the US. Ever since Trump Mobile announced the T1 phone last year, the handset has been on pre-order status. But if you were thinking about getting your hands on it, it looks like the Trump Mobile T1 Phone is now...
