  • Will Trump’s ATF Restore Form 1 Applications to Pre-Biden Standards?

    In 2022, the ATF changed the procedures for filling out a Form 1 to make your own silencer. The ATF denied about 850 applications. The ATF claimed “Solvent Traps” were actually suppressors, started denying Form 1 applications, and required much more information about how a silencer was to be manufactured, and what parts would be used to make the silencer. Senators and representatives sent two letters, one from Representatives and one from Senators, to the Biden ATF asking for clarification of what the ATF was doing. Here is an excerpt from the Senate letter submitted to ATF on March 16,...

    Across the Western world, governments have opened the floodgates to mass third-world immigration. It is questionable whether such policies have been popular anywhere, and it is hard to identify a country where citizens have ever voted for them. Thus, unrest has been inevitable. The international political class has usually responded to popular discontent over immigration by shutting down speech and criminalizing dissent. Meanwhile, a number of European countries are rapidly becoming unrecognizable. Why this crazed dedication to an unpopular and likely suicidal policy? I wish I knew. Yesterday, there were massive protests across the United Kingdom against the Uniparty’s immigration...

    We all knew, but there's nothing like concrete evidence. Hillary Clinton and her democrat ilk concocted the biggest election fraud conspiracy in the history of the United States. You know most of the players, but let's familiarize you with a couple of other names. Critical to this conspiracy were one Julianne Smith and Leonard Benardo. Julianne Smith is the alleged creator of the Russian collusion scheme. She served as the head of Hillary Clinton’s Europe team during the 2016 presidential campaign. Leonard Benardo is a senior vice president at the Open Society Foundations, a George Soros funded organization. In July...
  • Texas Dems to flee state amid national redistricting battle

    Politico ^ | 08/03/2025 | Adam Wren
    Dozens of Texas Democrats plan to flee the state amid a special session Sunday afternoon, making a last-ditch effort to disrupt a mid-decade redistricting attempt forced by President Donald Trump, according to two people briefed on the matter. It marks their second act of breaking quorum — when the state House will lack the minimum number of lawmakers needed to conduct business — since 2021. And it comes as the party scrambles to counter the aggressive action in Texas, intended to keep Republicans in power in Congress next year by creating five GOP-friendly seats in the state. Four years ago,...
  • I have been playing with AI videos for a couple years now, its Sorta Crazy now

    Over the past couple of years, I’ve explored dozens of AI video creation websites, and while the results are often impressive, they’re unmistakably AI-generated—especially when it comes to hands. Why do AI videos love giving characters six fingers? It’s frustrating and a dead giveaway!That said, AI video technology has come a long way. The progress is incredible, and it’s only going to get better. But not everyone is thrilled. Some people leave negative comments on my posts, worrying that AI videos will “destroy humanity.” Could they? Well, a well-crafted hoax could certainly stir panic—think of the War of the Worlds...

    VIDEOYes, it was truly a magical place. Sintra. Our next stop after Lisbon. Just seeing the photos or videos of Sintra doesn't do it justice. One must visit Sintra to feel its magical effects on the spirit. No wonder the royal family of Portugal chose to stay in the magic mountains of Sintra at the Palacio de Pena during the summers.

    After Texas Republicans unveiled a new congressional map favoring the GOP at President Donald Trump’s request, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett revealed that, based on the redrawn district lines, she no longer lives in her own district. “I currently don’t live in the [Congressional District] 30 that they created…that’s not where I live now,” Crockett shared in a video reacting to the new map. The very outspoken and popular Democrat said state Republicans created the map kerfuffle despite asking her and other incumbent members of Congress where they live. “They are supposed to take that into consideration, and these are some...

    Trump basically told Schumer to go to hell last night, after Schumer tried to extort money from Trump before removing Democratic Party blocking/delaying tactics of Trump nominees. Among the demands Schumer made were money for Gaza and NIH money for blue states with sanctuary cities etc. Worth noting that Trump has had 131 nominees confirmed already compared to 55 confirmed at this stage in the first Trump presidency, despite all the drama from the Democrats.

    On January 28, President Trump issued an executive order declaring that "it is our policy to not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support gender transition for people under 19.

    Ukrainians aged 60 and older can now serve in non-combat roles thanks to new legislation. The elderly Ukrainians will need special approval and get medical clearance before enlisting. The law was passed by the Ukrainian legislature earlier this month and signed by President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday, allowing people over the age of 60 to serve in limited roles until martial law in Ukraine is lifted. While the current martial law authorization is set to lapse next month, Zelensky has requested that lawmakers extend it for an additional 90 days. Zelensky’s presidential term has already expired, and he has used...

    RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina House voted 72–48 on Tuesday to override Governor Josh Stein’s veto of House Bill 318, officially enacting the Criminal Illegal Alien Enforcement Act. The controversial legislation mandates that sheriffs notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within two hours when releasing an inmate subject to an immigration detainer and requires a 48-hour hold for federal pickup. They also considered several other bills. Republicans enacted a total of eight bills that Stein had vetoed. With each of those bills passed, support was secured from at least one Democrat in the House to meet the required...

    National Security Journal ^ | 8/3/2025 | Andrew Latham
    Despite cheap drones devastating tanks in recent conflicts, the U.S. Army is developing the next-generation AbramsX. This move isn’t a return to old ways but a necessary evolution for modern warfare. The lighter, hybrid-electric AbramsX is designed as a networked “combat node,” integrating AI, advanced sensors, and an Active Protection System to survive on a drone-saturated battlefield. While drones have changed warfare, they cannot hold ground.

  • Think Uncle Sam Owes $37 Trillion? It's Far Worse Than That

    Stark Realities ^ | 08/02/2025 | Brian McGlinchey
    When asked how far the US government has plunged into the red, many fiscally-conscious Americans will tell you the national debt has reached $37 trillion. As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.That huge discrepancy springs from the fact that the federal government doesn’t hold itself to the same accounting standards it imposes on businesses. Rather than using accrual accounting — which recognizes expenses when they’re incurred — our Washington overlords self-servingly...

As the Trump administration inches toward reversing those mandates, Troy Lake's family is pushing for the president to pardon him. Because he removed emissions controls from diesel engines, a 65-year-old Wyoming man is bracing for his sixth month in federal prison.

    Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem's effort to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of tens of thousands of migrants in the United States from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal was challenged by the Soros-funded National Day Laborer Organizing Network on the grounds that "they are being targeted because they are non-white, non-Europeans." Noem defended the plan to end TPS saying "this temporary program was established by an executive order issued by President Clinton. The premise used to justify TPS was that these illegal immigrants faced significant risk of harm if they were deported to their home countries. Whether...
