Britain’s left-wing government is cleaving to its “point of principle” that migrants should be resettled in middle class and rural areas, and has used emergency powers to approve the conversion of a military base in Oxfordshire into a migrant camp. Labour’s Communities Secretary Angela Rayner has given the go-ahead to convert former British Army garrison Ordnance Depot Bicester into a migrant camp for 1,256 arrivals despite years of protests by locals in the next-door village of Piddington, who say they fear for their safety and have even threatened to secede from Britain over the plan. Nigel Farage has slammed the...

Democrat Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who is in the running to assume the Majority Leader position against Chuck Schumer. His candidacy may be what gets Sen. John Fetterman to finally leave the Democrat Party. Fetterman says that Van Hollen's hostility toward Israel would be the impetus for his decision. Fetterman's close ties to the state of Israel has caused him to work closely with his Republican colleagues as the progressive faction of his own party continues to distance themselves from the Middle Eastern country. Van Hollen announced his candidacy for leadership just two days ago. Since then, the most progressive...

It appears one party now hates us and wishes us harm … and the other really isn’t willing to do much about that. Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia chairs the House Oversight Committee. He is also an illegal alien from Peru, amnestied in 1986. And he’s gay. An angry man, he wants to go after conservatives; is desirous, in fact, of holding even those no longer in office “accountable.” For what specifically, I have yet to hear him say. (Republicans won’t even hold the worst criminals in office accountable. Not only couldn’t they keep illegal aliens from voting, they, apparently, but...

British Formula One racecar driver Lewis Hamilton proudly displayed his appalling ignorance to the world earlier this week while visiting the Rafah Border Crossing that separates the Gaza Strip from Egypt. While there, Hamilton snapped a photo of himself standing in front of the border crossing and then shared it to Instagram alongside a screed about Israel’s alleged genocide in Gaza. “It’s an injustice for people to being denied their freedom, their safety and their dignity,” Hamilton wrote in his now-viral Instagram post. “No human being should be treated as though their life matters less.” “I saw walls stretching for...

Thune has done 'a good job,' and nobody wants that Senate Minority Leader job in a room full of rampant Democrats, anyway.

Jefferson County Constable Robert de Buys posted a photo to Facebook on Election Night of dozens of Alabama’s new “I Voted” stickers arranged on a dining table to spell “8647,” numbers the U.S. Department of Justice charged former FBI Director James Comey with using as a threat to kill President Donald Trump. “Voting like ****ler is on the ballot,” de Buys wrote above the photo at 8:58 p.m. Tuesday, about two hours after Alabama’s polls closed. He tagged the United States Department of Justice and the FBI in the post. The “****ler” portmanteau is a slur used by Trump critics...

It is tragically ironic that, after more than 20 years in the Middle East, we have allowed our homeland to be invaded, degraded, and threatened … largely by many of the same people who we are fighting “over there.” By contrast, legitimate wars to protect the homeland must be fought, no matter what, no matter the cost, no matter what others may think … because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

The University of Texas at Austin’s Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice offers grants of up to $2,500 for graduate student work on 'reproductive justice.' The center has offered the grants in previous years for themes such as 'environmental justice' and 'peace,' but added 'reproductive justice' this past year.

The Greek expression mathēteusate panta ta ethnē explicitly commands the making of disciples literally among all nations.That identifies conversion and incorporation into Christ’s covenantal family as an essential dimension of the Church’s apostolic commission. The universality of this command is even more significant when considering Christianity’s earliest expansion throughout territories governed by political authorities who frequently regarded Christian conversion as a direct challenge to established religious institutions… Yet the earliest Christians proclaimed the gospel throughout the Roman Empire despite encountering imprisonment, social hostility, and martyrdom, because their apostolic conviction rested upon the resurrection of Jesus Christ, his universal sovereignty, and...

The Federal Aviation Administration has officially lifted the nationwide ground stop after flights were halted for roughly four hours, the agency announced Friday evening. [snip] Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called on Congress to provide the Trump administration with $50 billion to “fix” the nation’s air traffic control system. “It's the old hardware that went down. And I think the question for the American people is, do you want your Congress to fund this?” Duffy said after the FAA lifted a nationwide ground stop on air travel. He continued, “We had a down payment — President Trump asked for it in...

On December 17, 2021, with tens of thousands of Russian troops massing on Ukraine’s borders, the Kremlin published two draft security agreements addressed to the United States and NATO. The documents were effectively an ultimatum: halt NATO expansion, permanently exclude Ukraine from the alliance, and roll back Western military activity across Eastern Europe. The West refused the central demands, and just over two months later, Russian President Vladimir Putin sent his army across Ukraine’s borders to settle by force what he had failed to dictate on paper. Now, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who led Moscow’s January 2022 negotiations...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (11/14/26)[Prayer]The Scriptures in Handel’s “Messiah”Zechariah 9:9-10 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. 10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of...

The latest news from Austin is that the Democrats have their agenda all lined up and ready to go. Over 1,200 bills to be rammed through, including several imposing gun control. That’s right – gun control. In Texas. I hope they pass them all. I hope they confiscate every last gun in the state, all the way down to great-grandad’s Colt Army pistol that he used to fight the Comanche. After that, I hope they bulldoze the Alamo as an insult to the people of Tenochtitlan. I hope they pull down every statue of Sam Houston, of Lamar, of Austin,...

Democrats are pushing major minimum-wage increases after their midterm victories, but economists warn the proposals could come with unintended consequences for small businesses and inexperienced workers. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is pledging to more than double his state's $7.25 minimum wage, while Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is calling for a federal increase as Democrats make affordability a central part of their governing agenda. The renewed push comes as Seattle, which has one of the nation's highest minimum wages, faces concerns about rising business costs and employment opportunities — raising questions about the tradeoffs of higher wage mandates. "We’re going to...

A psychologist analyzes the disturbing phenomenon of Affluent White Female Liberals. As a psychologist, I have tried to understand the phenomenon of what is casually termed “crazy liberal women,” or “AWFLs” (Affluent White Female Liberals) — those obnoxious, shrieking, irrational, intensively hateful, intrusive women whose mouths are a verbal sewer and who are forever drawing attention to themselves. One cannot view the women of The View, for example, without recognizing that there is something seriously wrong with them. I may be able to shed some light on these creatures, but we should first examine some instances where they manifest their...

A packed British Airways jet was involved in a terrifying landing scare during its touchdown at Heathrow Airport. Flight BA431, flying from Amsterdam to London on Thursday local time, had to dramatically abort its touchdown after its tail struck the runway when attempting to land. According to The Sun, screaming could be heard coming from the 220 passengers as the aircraft hit the tarmac at around 11 a.m. on its left-side tyres. In unbelievable footage captured by a plane-spotter nearby, the tailfin of the twin-jet Airbus A321neo crashed into the runway before having to climb back into the air again....

Dr. Brian Monahan, the private doctor to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, resigned amid a military investigation of his office for a toxic work environment as well as staff complaints, including being ordered to cut lawmakers’ toenails as part of their medical duties. The Office of the Attending Physician of the Capitol, a nondescript set of rooms hidden in the basement of the historic building, dispenses discreet medical care to members of Congress, their staff, and Supreme Court justices. The office has always been led by a Navy physician. Monahan, who had held the post since 2009, is a two-star admiral....

A potential miracle is happening in Massachusetts that shows that abortions – even in the worst of situations – are completely unnecessary. When Gov. Maura Healey signed an emergency preamble Nov. 6 putting a new full-term abortion law into immediate effect, she said the emergency was supposedly 9 disabled babies who needed to be killed in late-term abortions. But 11 Massachusetts families have offered to adopt all nine of those babies – making the abortions totally unnecessary. Healey’s action overrode a signature campaign by more than 113,000 constituents that had temporarily suspended the new abortions up to birth law so...
