In 1970, the State of Florida passed sweeping emergency measures laws which conferred enormous powers to Sheriffs and Municipal officials (Mayors and Chiefs of Police). The law was meant to contain and prevent riots and the widespread breakdown of the rule of law. The officials could declare an emergency under the “imminent threat of violence”, which gave broad discretion. The emergency could only be in effect for 72 hours, after which time the county commission or the city council would be required to approve any extension of the emergency.There were many riots during the Vietnam era, particularly at universities.Part of...

Tina Louise was spotted on a different island. The Gilligan’s Island alum, 91, made a rare public appearance June 4 in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, marking her first sighting since she attended the New York Film Festival in 2022. For the outing, Louise—who portrayed the aptly named Ginger Grant on the CBS sitcom from 1964 to 1967—donned a black leather jacket and blue jeans. She complemented the look by sporting her signature red hair, black sneakers and carrying a navy blue umbrella and two black bags. Since appearing on Gilligan’s Island, Louise—who is the last living cast member, surviving fellow...

If you thought that George Soros's empire was taking a break to lick its wounds following President Donald Trump’s victory in November, think again. A group backed by the notorious left-wing billionaire is unleashing a fortune to achieve a leftist dream: to finally turn the state of Texas into a Democrat stronghold. he Wall Street Journal reported June 9 that the Soros-backed Texas Majority PAC “launched a ‘Blue Texas’ initiative Monday along with the Texas Democratic Party and a group of county parties, aiming to organize tens of thousands of volunteers, recruit candidates and boost turnout ahead of the 2026...

This is actually a very surprising development. The World Bank (WB) is a heavily controlled multinational exploit of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and World Economic Forum assembly (WEF). This could be looked upon as the WTO/WEF taking a knee as they finally accept Godzilla Trump is not going to relent. Remember, the Build Back Better agenda was a construct from the WEF/WTO.Looking a little more deeply at the people behind the latest shift in tone and paying close attention to the wording they are using, there’s an inference the World Bank is telling Europe to stop being intransigent or...

A pro-Democrat labor union’s San Francisco chapter hired an admitted sex offender to a top position after she served jail time for child sexual abuse at a California high school. Noelia Linares, a business agent at SEIU Local 87, pleaded “no contest” in 2018 to sex crimes involving a minor. The plea stems from a 2017 arrest, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Linares’ group is part of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a national organization that backs Democratic political campaigns and helps migrant workers avoid deportation. SEIU helped spark protests in Los Angeles that...

Forget the notion of “sell in May and go away.” There are a set of dynamic metrics at work within the economy framed by “Trumponomics,” which refers broadly to his administration’s approach, that includes tax cuts, deregulation, protectionism and trade policies that the stock market is embracing.Nearly halfway through 2025, the U.S. equity market has endured a 20% correction, a radical set of tariff policies employed or threatened, sweeping D.O.G.E. actions, the DeepSeek torpedo into the AI port bow, followed by a reaffirmation of the historical capex spending binge by the hyperscalers and sovereign governments (Saudi Arabia, etc.) and two...

Secretary Kennedy made a stunning statement regarding the childhood schedule, vaccine trials and the ACIP on X. I know many have read that statement there, but it deserves to be immortalized. Below this short video, I have copied his statement in full. Quote: “Yesterday, I retired 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices or ACIP, the CDC external panel that wields the grave responsibility of adding new vaccines to the recommended childhood schedule. Over the coming days, I will use this platform to announce new members to populate ACIP. None of these individuals will be ideological anti-vaxxers. They...

Ukraine’s successful use of cheap, commercially available drones to destroy high-value Russian military assets serves as a stark warning that US air bases could be similarly vulnerable. Veteran Navy SEAL Brandon Webb, invoking the legacy of the 1980s “Red Cell” security-testing unit, argues that a modern adversary could use inexpensive drones, 3D printers, and readily available technology to cause catastrophic damage to US air power.

VIDEOThe Liberal Pink Hat Lady and the Bipolar Lib are the comedy gifts that keep on giving. And the latest entertainment gift comes in the form of Bipolar Lib going full mental jacket BONKERS over President Trump sending National Guard troops to Los Angeles to restore the order that local sleazy Democrat politicians let slip away when rioters took to the streets to cause havoc (with the behind the scenes support of those politicians) in reaction to ICE enforcing immigration laws.Here we see again the two starkly contrasting sides of Bipolar Lib. The one side who calmly advocates for loving...

After enjoying many decades of high public support, higher education in the U.S. is in serious decline. Polls show that a sizeable percentage of the populace now doubts that college is worth the cost and that it contributes to the public good. Enrollments keep falling, and the luster that a college degree used to confer on graduates has become tarnished, especially since recent events indicate that, instead of helping them mature, college turns them into ideologically obsessed activists. What has gone wrong? In his latest book, Let Colleges Fail, economics professor Richard Vedder employs his insights to answer that question....

1948 Refugee: The Arab media "lied and deceived the people" Palestinian "settlement affairs" expert: "The Arab states promised them [in 1948] that they would return after a week" Interviewed on official PÅ TV, Palestinian refugee Muhammad Khana complained that the lying Arab propaganda and media is what made the Arabs leave in 1948 during Israel's War of Independence: Palestinian refugee Muhammad Khana: "[In 1948, the Arab] propaganda and media had a central role in us leaving.

Appearing on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” former GOP presidential candidate and current Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy drew a blistering historical comparison between California Governor Gavin Newsom and infamous segregationist George Wallace—and he didn’t mince words. While Ramaswamy admitted a personal fondness for Newsom, he warned that the Democrat’s defiance of federal immigration law is dangerously reminiscent of a shameful chapter in American history. “I know Gavin Newsom. I actually happen to like him as a person,” Ramaswamy said. “The reality is, he’s not going to like what I have to say on this, which is that his behavior is starting...

A peer-reviewed study by Charlotte Lozier Institute reviewed nearly 30,000 visits to emergency rooms by women who had undergone either a surgical or chemical abortion and found that 80% of these visits were falsely recorded as miscarriages. Those who recommend chemical abortions routinely advise women who require immediate medical assistance to lie at the emergency room. The fear is that if the true cause of the emergency were reported it would negatively impact the sale of these abortion pills. In fact, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists usually advise medical personnel to not ask women if their urgent health...

The media is trying so hard. The left-wing shills at Politico have seized on the chaos in California hoping it can be manipulated to catapult the state's Democrat governor into the national conversation. Trump has catapulted Newsom to the front of the Democratic resistance.The California Gov was overshadowed by Washington politics and Harris' political future. Now, he's back in the spotlight.https://t.co/3oBTeBwmPz— POLITICO (@politico) June 10, 2025But if this is his audition for 2028, it's not going very well. California Governor Gavin Newsom is up to his armpits in another mess of his own making. The progressive poser who during his...

Summary and Key Points: The nearly $9 billion cost increase for Canada’s F-35 acquisition, bringing the total to $27.7 billion, is not the real scandal; it is a symptom of a deeper “strategy shock.” According to a recent Auditor-General’s report, this “sticker shock” is less concerning than the fact that Canada lacks a coherent plan to support the jets. Key basing infrastructure for the F-35s will not be ready until 2029, years after the first jets arrive in 2026, and the Royal Canadian Air Force already faces a severe pilot shortage, raising serious questions about the nation’s ability to operate...

Prosecutors in Wisconsin have just filed an unusual document with a court: They explained that just because a person is a judge, that doesn’t mean she gets a free pass to break the law. That earlier was the stunning claim from Hannah Dugan, a now-suspended judge, arguing that prosecutors weren’t even allowed to bring a case against her after evidence showed she distracted federal agents, then let an illegal alien criminal walk out of the courthouse. Dugan’s claim was that she has absolutely immunity for whatever she does in her courtroom – even in the courthouse building. A report at...
