"This violent mutiny did not emerge in a vacuum; it is directly tied to the hopeless bloodbath unfolding near the Kupiansk front, specifically at the Pischane funnel. For months, Russian forces have tried and failed to break through Ukrainian defenses here. The Ukrainians have created a deadly trap by controlling the flanks, exposing any Russian assault to relentless drone and artillery fire from both sides. Yet commanders continue to send wave after wave of infantry into the funnel, hoping to drive a wedge through Ukrainian lines. Every new wave knows exactly how it will end, as almost no one from...

A coalition of groups, ranging from environmental activists to Native Americans advocating for their ancestral homelands, converged outside an airstrip in the Florida Everglades Saturday to protest the imminent construction of an immigrant detention center.Hundreds of protesters lined part of U.S. Highway 41 that slices through the marshy Everglades — also known as Tamiami Trail — as dump trucks hauling materials lumbered into the airfield. Cars passing by honked in support as protesters waved signs calling for the protection of the expansive preserve that is home to a few Native tribes and several endangered animal species. Christopher McVoy, an ecologist,...

Since the start of 2025, corporate chains have increasingly become the focus of large-scale boycotts in Texas and beyond, attracting thousands of supporters of the grassroots advocacy group, the People's Union USA.

The advocacy group is demanding that the fast-food giant company impose "fair taxes, an end to price gouging, real equality and corporate accountability," Schwarz wrote in a post. The campaign urges consumer to not spend their money at the business for a week. ... The company said...

The mainstream media tried to destroy Trump—but in the end, they destroyed themselves. This is the story of anchors who lost their minds, reporters who lost their careers, and a media machine that couldn’t handle President Trump.

Another protest, another flag. You’re not the only one who’s noticed that the Democrat Party's protesters are waving a different country’s flag at each new protest. Even Iranian flags are starting to show up.

A senior Iranian source claimed to Reuters that before the U.S. attack on the Fordow nuclear facility last night (Sunday), all of the stock of enriched uranium at the site was transferred to another location. At the same time, satellite images captured a large convoy moving near the underground nuclear facility two days before the attack. It is believed that this may be documentation of the transfer of the enriched material. Last night, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social, that the U.S. military had completed strikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. .....

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin says it is possible a foreign adversary was behind the anti-ICE riots that spread across Los Angeles last week. "We are seeing indications that this is likely a foreign adversary, McLaughlin said on the Tuesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show." But I'm not going to get ahead of the FBI." Protests and riots broke out across Los Angeles in response to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents' arrests of illegal migrants. In response to the protests, President Donald Trump deployed 2,000 California National Guard members to the city,...

It is hard to believe that barely one year ago, Joe Biden self-immolated on a debate stage in Atlanta. His cringeworthy meltdown set off a chain of events that led to the most dramatic—and exciting—presidential election in U.S. history. What transpired after the evening of June 27, 2024 is a timeline even the best fiction writer could not have imagined. A near-fatal assassination attempt against Donald Trump; the replacement of Biden with Kamala Harris; another assassination attempt against Trump. 8x ===== SNIP! ===== X8 Every day created a rollercoaster-like atmosphere—and ended with the greatest political comeback in U.S history when...

New York CNN — At Home, a popular home goods retailer with 260 stores across 40 US states, has filed for bankruptcy, citing the backdrop of tariff increases and a slowdown in consumer spending. The Dallas-based company announced Monday that it had entered an agreement with its lenders that “will eliminate substantially all” of its roughly $2 billion in debt and provide $200 million in fresh funding to keep At Home operating while it navigates the Chapter 11 process. Brad Weston, At Home’s CEO who joined the company last year, said in a statement that the company is “operating against...

President Donald Trump appeared to confirm that the United States is now a part of Israel’s attack on Iran during a Tuesday morning social media post. Amid growing tensions of an escalating conflict following last week’s attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, questions have arisen over the United States’ involvement. Using the word “We,” Trump wrote Tuesday morning, “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.” While a bitter debate within MAGA rages between a pro-Israel interventionist sect and an isolationist “America First” portion, experts are wondering about the geopolitical instability that has been caused by Israel’s...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass compared the impact of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids to the coronavirus lockdowns that her party imposed on California, in that both kept people at home. Bass made the comparison over the weekend in visits to small businesses in a neighborhood that, the Los Angeles Times, depended on the “immigrant” economy (the Times never used the word “illegal). The Times reported: Bass visited a number of small businesses in Boyle Heights with Assemblymember Mark Gonzalez (D-Los Angeles), including Casa Fina, Distrito Catorce, Yeya’s and Birrieria De Don Boni, as well as the Estrada...

G7 backs Israel as US and Iran eye reviving diplomacy. Summary. US President Donald Trump said Iran should have signed the “deal” I told them to sign," adding that "everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!"

I normally don't post unconfirmed stuff like this but if true it could make things make a lot more sense...

War-weary Americans are worried their country is about to be dragged into another Middle East quagmire. Their concern is well founded. The United States military is already helping Israel shoot down Iranian missiles and moving more military assets into the region. MAGA support for President Donald Trump has remained consistent and bulletproof so far. But war with Iran may prove a red line for the president’s most loyal cohort. “I can tell you right now, our MAGA base does not want war,” MAGA influencer and founder of Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk said Friday during a segment of his popular...

One of the things Dan Bongino used to say on his show was that his principles remained steady, so he avoided the appearance of hypocrisy in the face of changing circumstances. (That’s not how he said it, but it’s the gist.) That’s not something you’ll ever hear a Democrat say, and nothing more clearly illustrates it than its latest bumper-sticker protest: “No Kings.”I never post on my Facebook page, but I still check it regularly because it is my personal window into the Democrat mind. Given that I grew up in San Francisco, went to a law school that saw...

Investigation uncovers 70 DNC affiliates organizing anti-Trump demonstrations across 21 states. Yesterday, as protesters readied to descend on city squares across America for a mass demonstration branded #NoKings, California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis took to MSNBC, praising the movement as a righteous stand for democracy. "People are very determined to get out there and be seen. This is the United States. We do not want a king," she said. What she didn’t say: The California Democratic Party is itself organizing today’s protests — from Orange County to Oakland — with the full institutional weight of the Democratic machine, and the...

An estimated 50,000 people marched across New York City as part of nationwide protests against the Trump administration, according to early estimates from the NYPD. The demonstrations took place on city streets largely without incident. NBC New York’s Chris Jose report What to Know Protests against the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies have been ongoing in New York City and across the country since last weekend, when unrest erupted in Los Angeles and the president ordered in the National Guard. Demonstrations are taking place nationwide on Saturday for what organizers are calling 'No Kings Day' with the goal of protest...

We are on the brink of something we have never seen before in modern American history–more than 1,800 (and counting) simultaneous political protests scheduled to erupt across the country on the very same day. This is not just another angry weekend. This is not just another round of “peaceful protests” spiraling into looting and lawlessness. No, this is coordinated, funded, and staged chaos being unleashed like a match dropped on a national powder keg. They’re calling it the “No Kings” protest, and it’s being billed as a “nationwide day of defiance.”

ALL AMERICANS need to be on high alert with nationwide “No Kings” protests this weekend. Online reports suggest outside agitators are planning to escalate violence in Trump gear to frame MAGA. If you attend, DO NOT wear MAGA gear. If you witness illegal activity, record faces and license plates and send all info to @FBI . Stay alert. Stay smart.
