A group of liberals calling themselves no fascism.org has put out a call for 1,000,000 people to surround the white house on November 5 to protest against President Trump and demand his immediate removal from the presidency. I'm pretty sure that I know why they chose November 5... "Remember remember the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and Plot I know of no reason the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot...."

Climate deniers use scientific aesthetics to reinforce and legitimize their message. At the same time, their main opponents, the climate activists, are portrayed as emotional and irrational. This has been demonstrated by researchers from the Universities of Gothenburg and Amsterdam, who have studied how climate deniers communicate online. "Disinformation is not just about incorrect facts, but about how these facts look and feel. In today's digital media landscape, messages are spread through images, memes and visual narratives that influence us in an instant, before we even have time to think. By understanding the aesthetic logic behind climate denial, we can...

Climate change is reducing the chances of runners breaking marathon records, new research claims. The study, external by US-based non-profit organisation Climate Central said rising temperatures "have made record-breaking runs in some races nearly impossible". It also predicted that optimal running conditions - which it defines as 4C for men and 10C for women - will be less likely in 86% of 221 global marathons by 2045. Former women's world record holder Catherine Ndereba said: "Climate change has altered the marathon. "Dehydration is a real risk, and simple miscalculations can end a race before it begins. Every step now carries...

As Rabbis Face Facts, Bible Tales Are Wilting By MICHAEL MASSING braham, the Jewish patriarch, probably never existed. Nor did Moses. The entire Exodus story as recounted in the Bible probably never occurred. The same is true of the tumbling of the walls of Jericho. And David, far from being the fearless king who built Jerusalem into a mighty capital, was more likely a provincial leader whose reputation was later magnified to provide a rallying point for a fledgling nation. Such startling propositions — the product of findings by archaeologists digging in Israel and its environs over the last 25 ...

The Nicolás Maduro regime said Sunday Venezuela has captured a group of alleged mercenaries with ties to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and accused Washington and Trinidad and Tobago of coordinating military exercises intended to provoke an armed confrontation in the Caribbean. In a statement released by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, the socialist government said the arrests revealed what it described as a “false-flag operation” planned from waters bordering Trinidad and Tobago, or from Trinidadian or Venezuelan territory, “to generate a full-scale military confrontation” against Venezuela. The regime’s announcement comes amid the fast-growing buildup of U.S. forces in the Caribbean...

The federal indictment of New York’s attorney general centers on a home she purchased for a relative. It is an act that rings deeply familiar to many.To some Black families, it was an intimately familiar arrangement.A woman whose parents fled a life of sharecropping in the South was among the first in her family to achieve a prestigious career. She extended her help to relatives who had less, even buying a home for a grandniece in need of stability.The house sits at the center of the indictment of Letitia James, the New York attorney general, by the Justice Department. She...

The same Americans who embraced the cutsie socialism of the No Kings protests are completely ignorant about actual socialism. As Bill Maher once laid bare, “For Millennials, the word socialism doesn’t conjure up images of Stalin and Castro, it conjures up images of naked Danish people on a month-long paid vacation…it’s not such a jarring proposition when socialism comes along and says you are entitled to free stuff.” That casual humor hides a grave reality: a growing portion of Democrats embrace an ideology they do not truly understand, mistaking state control and economic tyranny for harmless perks. This misunderstanding has...

Regardless of the ultimate outcome of the Gaza peace deal brokered by Donald Trump, the past two years have seen Israel achieve an unprecedented litany of military accomplishments in the Middle East. The level of damage done to Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis is difficult to comprehend. The end of the Assad regime and, with American support, the demolition of the Iranian nuclear program – setting it back years at the least – were steps that many once thought impossible. Israel has emerged from the post-October 7 period unquestionably stronger in every way except one: its support around the globe,...

Reporter Savanah Hernandez joined Jesse Watters on Fox News to share her experience at a “No Kings” rally. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hernandez joined a panel of other reporters, along with President Trump, White House officials, and cabinet secretaries, who participated in a roundtable event to discuss the leftwing terror network. Other reporters included Jack Posobeic, Nick Sortor, Cam Higby, Jonathan Choe, Andy Ngo, Katie Daviscourt, James Klug, Nick Shirley, Brandi Kruse, Julio Rojas, and Seamus Bruner. They all shared their knowledge of the left-wing terrorist network and some of their violent experiences with Antifa. You can watch Hernandez’s...

Unicorns are supposed to be rare and mythical. But at Saturday’s No Kings protests I saw the largest outbreak in America outside a Lisa Frank store. They were everywhere, but I was surprised to see almost a dozen of them down in New Braunfels, Texas. As at many of the No Kings protests across the country, attendees embraced the example set by the taunting frog outside Portland’s ICE facility and came in outfits that you could find threatening in only the most silly and specific of contexts: Cookie Monster was there.But you don’t pass up a chance to meet a...

The so-called “No Kings” protest sweeping the nation, which is organizing nationwide demonstrations on October 18, 2025, across many major cities, is not a spontaneous cry for democracy but the latest orchestrated campaign by Indivisible, a network built by former congressional staffers and funded through George Soros’ Open Society empire. Founded in 2016 by Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, Indivisible began as a viral Google Doc that promised to teach progressives how to resist Donald Trump. Within weeks, the founders had transformed it into a professionalized operation flush with cash from the same sources that have quietly shaped left-wing activism...

Tommy Robinson, the founder of the English Defense League and one of Britain's most polarising figures, has travelled to Israel while awaiting a court verdict in the UK. The far-right activist — known for his anti-Muslim campaigns — was invited by Israel's Minister for Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, according to The Guardian. The trip drew swift criticism from British Jewish groups, who called the invitation 'deeply inappropriate'. Robinson's politics have always revolved around Islam. For over a decade, he's portrayed himself as a defender of Western civilisation under siege — from refugees, from multiculturalism, from what he calls 'Islamisation'. That...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Friday announcement that the U.S. will host a new Qatari air force facility in Idaho has drawn the ire of the Trump administration’s closest allies, including Laura Loomer, who said she felt “betrayed” over the matter. In a flurry of social media posts Friday afternoon, Loomer unleashed on the administration’s announcement that it had signed the letter greenlighting the building of a Qatar Emiri air force contingent at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in southwestern Idaho. The air arm of Qatar’s armed forces, Qatar Emiri air force pilots would train to fly F-15s in the...

Shortly after the Nobel Peace Prize was announced on Friday, Norway - home of the independent Nobel Committee - is bracing for diplomatic fireworks for not awarding it to Donald Trump, according to users on social media. Many say that Norway must not only defend the committee's neutrality but also prepare for possible fallout, from fierce rhetoric to questions about Norway's international relations. Some reports say that Norway is readying itself to Trump's wrath. "Norway is bracing for Trump's reaction if he does not win Nobel peace prize, stating that "US president may impose tariffs, demand higher Nato contributions or...

China’s audacious orbital energy station showcases high-tech ambition—powered by sun and silver—positioning the nation as a leader in the next era of global energy innovation. China isn’t just aiming for the stars—it’s building them. The country’s bold leap into the future comes in the form of a one-kilometer-wide solar power station, launched into geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometers above the Earth. This is not some sci-fi proposal, but an ambitious, state-led drive epitomizing China’s technological swagger and strategic focus. Daylight Never Stops: Power From the Void Picture a solar array so massive and advanced, it basks in the sun’s full intensity...

After two years of war, there is a chance of a deal that will end the killing and destruction in Gaza and return the Israeli hostages, living and dead, to their families. It is an opportunity, but it is not certain that it will be seized by Hamas and Israel.It is a grim coincidence that the talks are happening exactly two years after Hamas inflicted a trauma on Israelis that is still acute. The 7 October attacks killed around 1,200 people, mostly Israeli civilians, and 251 were taken hostage. The Israelis estimate that 20 hostages are still alive and they...

It seems like the Total Fertility Rate collapse is a mega-trend that is not being incorporated into conservative expectations. In addition to the economic problem of a system historically based on perpetual growth, we are going to have to come up with a practical answer to entitlements like Social Security. I don't think our present system can accommodate this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2GeVG0XYTc

Sydney Sweeney really does have good genes and not just because she's an attractive blonde. More importantly, women in general appear to have a genetic advantage that gives them a longer lifespan than men. The fact that women live longer has been well known for a long time. But a recent study across the animal kingdom suggest and explanation for why this happens.“From a human standpoint, it’s really remarkable that women live longer across almost every country in the world,” said Johanna Staerk, an evolutionary demographer at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany. “So we were interested...

SNIP Known in the Armenian community as “psycho Barbie,” Nadine had allegedly stalked an ex. She was also accused of keying his new girlfriend’s car and showing up at his home on Christmas Day in 2010 with her two children to try to win him back, according to a restraining order. “Nadine always believed she was above the law,” the former boyfriend said. With Menendez, friends said, she played hard to get, though, pitting him against Anton. When they began dating again in 2018, Menendez allegedly sent Capitol Police officers from Washington, DC, to his rival’s office in Hackensack, New...
