The McDonnell XF-85 Goblin was a bizarre Cold War experiment: a tiny, egg-shaped “parasite fighter” designed to be carried inside the bomb bay of a massive B-36 bomber. The plan was to launch the Goblin mid-air to defend the bomber from interceptors and then retrieve it on a trapeze. The concept was a complete failure.

"Imagine taking your toddler to the mall—and a man with 43 priors rips them away from your family." A suspect involved in over 30 previous criminal cases, including malicious wounding as well as assault charges, was released without bail by officials in Fairfax County, Virginia. Just days after being arrested earlier in July, he was taken into custody after being caught on camera picking up and carrying away a toddler in a mall.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Thursday on Fox News’ “Hannity” that the legacy media refuses to cover new Russiagate revelations because doing so would require them to admit they played a role in the cover-up. Since the allegations emerged involving officials from the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s campaign, corporate media has largely shifted its focus to other issues. While discussing the legal side of the scandal, Fox News’ Sean Hannity asked Turley who should “be worried” about potential legal repercussions. “Well, there’s a lot of people worried in this city tonight. This is the great reveal...

So, if Epstein had Trump blackmailed with their Mossad honeypot operation, why would Trump drop a dime on himself? VIDEO AT LINK......................

Starke, Florida AP — A man convicted of the 1994 killings of his wife and their two children became the ninth person put to death in Florida this year, his death Thursday marking a state record for a single-year execution total since the U.S. Supreme Court restored the death penalty decades ago. Edward Zakrzewski, 60, was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m. following a three-drug injection at Florida State Prison near Starke. After the return of the U.S. death penalty in 1976, Florida carried out a high of eight executions in 2014, a one-year total only matched this year with a...

In Atlanta, during coverage of the NRA Annual Meeting in 2025, this correspondent had an interesting conversation with the manager of my motel. The motel was chosen for a low price and a reasonably close location to the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta.This correspondent has always pursued frugality as a virtue. Frugality can be taken too far. This correspondent may have been close to the edge in choosing a cut-rate motel a few miles from the city center in Atlanta. After registering with the NRA Annual Meeting and picking up press credentials for the event, it was a...

The Horten Ho 229 was a German flying-wing jet prototype developed in the final days of World War II. National Security Journal was given a guided tour of the plane’s remains at the Smithsonian. Often called the “Nazi stealth fighter” for its resemblance to the modern B-2 bomber, the aircraft was a radical design that was decades ahead of its time.

* Over 4 milion 1955-2005. * 2013-2018 = 400,000 * 2023/4 = 150,000. Genocide in Darfur – How the Horror Began. By Eric Reeves. September 3, 2005. Perhaps the most destructive civil conflict since World War II and one of the longest wars in Africa’s history, it saw the Christian and animist South pitted against the Muslim, Arab-speaking North. As many as 2.5 million people have died since the second phase of the civil war began in 1983-and likely more than four million if we consider its earlier phase (1955-72).SudanTribune (Arch.)South Sudan Civil War (2013-2018):This conflict, which began after...

World Athletics is now standing up to transgender insanity, insisting on a test to prove an individual’s DNA is female before competing against other women. On July 30, the World Athletics Council announced its new rules effective September 2025, meaning that the rules apply to the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. The Member Federations are now required to test athletes to ensure biological males are not competing in the women’s categories. There is an exception for biological males with certain extremely rare sexual development disorders, however, which could potentially cause problems later. In its press release, World Athletics explained the...

“Democrats Better Lawyer Up.” Mike Davis On Mar-a-Lago Raid Targeting Crossfire Hurricane Records - Mike Davis - Article III Project Rumble - 12 minute video

In recent days, Poland has been electrified by continued reports of Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s attempts to unlawfully prevent President-elect Karol Nawrocki from taking office. These actions bear all the hallmarks of a constitutional coup. At the same time, on Friday, 25 July, the ruling left-liberal coalition moved to suspend the functioning of the National Broadcasting Council—a constitutionally mandated institution tasked with protecting freedom of speech and media pluralism. This action, too, constitutes a direct assault on the Constitution. Since December 2023, Poland under Tusk’s so-called “militant democracy” has become a testing ground for globalist lawlessness and a campaign of...

U.S. — Newly declassified intelligence files revealed that every politician, government official, and political candidate except Donald Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. The scandal reportedly took news media and D.C. insiders by complete surprise. "Wow, it looks like everything was exactly the opposite of what we were all told," said one surprised American citizen. "Who could've imagined they'd lie to us like this? It doesn't seem like something they'd do." The documents indicated that several key figures, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, James Comey, James Clapper, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Ash Carter, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Jeh...

POCAHONTAS LIZZIE WARREN FALLS ON SENATE FLOOR.

VIDEORight now President Donald Trump is easily the most popular political leader in Great Britain, far outshining their hapless Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Watch as Starmer is brutally mocked by British commentators for his hilarious reactions as Trump read the riot act on windmills which Starmer supports as part of his doomed-to-fail Net Zero project for Britain. This video is revelatory because it shows closeups of Starmer's awkwardness and extremely uncomfortable face as Trump speaks embarrassing windmill truths.

I have just concluded a telephone conversation with the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, which was very successful in that, more and more, we are getting to know and understand each other. The complexities of a Deal with Mexico are somewhat different than other Nations because of both the problems, and assets, of the Border. We have agreed to extend, for a 90 Day period, the exact same Deal as we had for the last short period of time, namely, that Mexico will continue to pay a 25% Fentanyl Tariff, 25% Tariff on Cars, and 50% Tariff on Steel, Aluminum,...
