    President Trump won the 2024 election in a landslide, winning the US Presidency with 312 electoral votes, all of the battleground states, the popular vote, the US House of Representatives, The US Senate and 2750 counties across the country. Americans overwhelmingly voted for President Donald Trump and his agenda. Unfortunately, this means nothing to the US GOP-controlled House and US GOP-controlled Senate. According to Amuse and Leading Report on X the current GOP-controlled Congress sent fewer bills to President Trump to sign into law than any Congress in 70 years! That is quite a record! @amuse @amuse DO NOTHING CONGRESS:...

    Despite the ‘album era’ fast approaching its approximate 60th anniversary, the lauded rock heritage that deified stadium monsters such as Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones as the paragons of musical achievement and authentic expression still looms over a pop climate that’s undergone seismic creative and social shifts across the last half-century. It won’t be too long before the cultural totems that still command such collective veneration, rock and roll, Woodstock, and AOR, will all cease to be living memories sooner than you think. With Rolling Stone‘s ‘rockist’ residue still colouring many muso’s quality metrics and indication of a healthy...

    Pakistani use of PL-15Es against Indian fighters opens up a new vector for intelligence exploitation on one of China's most threatening missiles. ================================================================= The largely intact rear section and other parts of a Chinese-made PL-15E active-radar-guided air-to-air missile came down in India during a battle in the skies along the country’s border with Pakistan earlier this week. While many details about the aerial confrontation between the two countries remain murky, it marked the first known combat use of any version of the PL-15. Recovery of any parts of what is one of China’s most modern air-to-air missiles could be of...

    A USAID employee has been charged with fraudulently creating a fake company to secure COVID-19 benefits for himself, federal prosecutors said Friday. Yusuf Akoll, who was in charge of managing contracts for the agency, made false statements to obtain Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. “Yusuf Akoll worked as a Senior Procurement Contract Specialist at the U.S. Agency for International Development,” according to a previously unreported court document. “From at least in or around March 2021, and continuing through at least in or around August 2021, Akoll [made] materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements…that resulted in Akoll receiving two [Paycheck Protection...

    A yearslong malicious cyber operation spearheaded by the notorious Chinese state actor, APT 41, has siphoned off an estimated trillions in intellectual property theft from approximately 30 multinational companies within the manufacturing, energy and pharmaceutical sectors.A new report by Boston-based cybersecurity firm, Cybereason, has unearthed a malicious campaign — dubbed Operation CuckooBees — exfiltrating hundreds of gigabytes of intellectual property and sensitive data, including blueprints, diagrams, formulas, and manufacturing-related proprietary data from multiple intrusions, spanning technology and manufacturing companies in North America, Europe, and Asia.

    Throughout the sprawling saga of human history, every period has proclaimed its moment as the defining pivot, crafting narratives of grandeur and crisis that cast it as the fulcrum of destiny. From the marble-clad majesty of Ancient Rome to the nuclear-shadowed tensions of the Cold War, each age believed its challenges were unparalleled, shaping the course of civilization. Yet, as we stand in this era, confronting a convergence of existential threats—artificial intelligence (AI) poised to redefine the essence of humanity, nuclear arsenals capable of annihilating billions, pandemics that exploit global connectivity, and the corrosive spread of socialist propaganda promoting disgusting...

    Back in 2021, "Dune: Part One" released to no small amount of acclaim. Really, the accolades just kept coming — six wins at the Oscars (of 10 nominations), and a long laundry list of other awards. A few years later, a sequel arrived with a similar level of aplomb — a ton of awards and nominations, in other words. And all of that is aside from the general level of popularity that both movies have won from legions of fans. That's all well and good, and as a movie, it's hard to deny that Denis Villeneuve's works are masterclasses in...

    In this video, I confront some young people who’ve been completely misled about the police and America’s history. One of them claimed 90,000 unarmed people are killed by cops each year—so I hit them with the real stats. We debated slavery, race, immigration, and what it really means to love others as Christians. I also exposed the hypocrisy and false narratives being pushed in our schools and media. Watch until the end to see how the conversation shifts when facts replace feelings. video is 20 minute long

    A 28-year-old former college cheerleader and self-described honor student plowed into a Maryland police officer and nearly hit pedestrians at a street fair in Laurel Saturday, all because she couldn’t be late to work. Kai DeBerry-Bostick, a graduate of Bowie State University and a member of the Zeta Delta sorority, according to the New York Post, is now facing assault charges after brazenly ripping down police tape and driving into a closed festival zone Saturday morning, bodycam video released by police shows. “I need to get out, I need to get out,” DeBerry-Bostick can be heard saying, before informing the...

    Some men just want to go Hogg-wild. Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg bashed his own party for being too hostile toward men, arguing it is a major factor Dems’ massive defeat in the 2024 election. “What I think happened last election is younger men — they would rather vote for somebody who they don’t completely agree with, they don’t feel judged by,” Hogg told “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday, “than somebody who they do agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly because they’re going to be judged or ostracized or...

    Freedom of speech has supposedly been making an epic comeback, with growing optimism that cancel culture, the steady march to deny free speech rights and the politics of destruction across society, has finally been served a massive rebuke. “How Cancel Culture Collapsed” and “Pendulum Is Swinging Toward Free Speech Online” are just some of the headlines practically declaring victory over this hideous trend and its pernicious influence on our society. After the November elections, where the American people rejected the overreach by the news media, politicians and influencers who attack basic freedoms in pursuit of a narrow agenda to appeal...

    Police are calling for an official investigation and charges against a city councilwoman for allegedly assaulting officers and inciting a violent mob trying to stop the arrest of an illegal alien criminal suspect in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is another in a slew of incidents where government officials have stepped in to try to block immigration enforcement as the Trump administration cracks down on aliens with criminal records in the U.S. A local police union argued over the weekend that Etel Haxhiaj, who represents Worcester’s District 5, helped incite the mob into assaulting ICE officers and cops during the Department of...

    The US and China have agreed on a deal to help resolve the trade war raging between the world’s two largest economies, top Trump administration officials announced Sunday. Details of the deal — struck during negotiations in Switzerland over the weekend — were not revealed, but officials teased that more information will be shared on Monday. “The U.S. has a massive $1.2 trillion trade deficit, so the President declared a national emergency,” US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Sunday. “We’re confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us work toward resolving that national emergency.” President...
