Paul Sperry @paulsperry_ DEVELOPING: Trump HUD is proposing a two-year cap on fraud-infested Section 8 housing subsidies, which currently have no time limits or work requirements. Studies show at least 1.4 million have been freeloading off tax-supported Sec. 8, which brings more crime to neighborhoods... 12:11 PM · Aug 19, 2025

Imagine, for a moment, the year is 2500. Human civilization is gone, lost to disaster, time, or neglect. One day, an alien research team lands in what was once North Carolina and begins to study the ruins of a place once known as Duke University. Buried beneath centuries of sediment, they find a course directory from the Department of History, dated 2025. What would these visitors conclude about American history? Would they know about the Revolutionary War and its heroes, Washington crossing the Delaware, the debates at Valley Forge, the intellectual courage of the Founding Fathers? Would they learn about...

President Trump called into Fox & Friends show this morning to explains some of the details within the Ukraine Peace Summit held at the White House with President Zelenskyy and European leaders.There’s some interesting insight into the urgency, held by President Trump, as he describes talking about the need to stop the killing now, not next week. President Trump notes he told the EU leadership, it is ridiculous to say meet again in a few days; thousands of people are dying each week. Trump told them they need to get into action tonight. WATCH: In his generally off-the-cuff remarks, President...

Is Abby Grossberg: Tucker Carlson’s “Mordecai”?Tucker Carlson has long trafficked in dog whistles and culture war grievances—but his rage toward Abby Grossberg, a Jewish former Fox producer who challenged him legally, seems to cut deeper. In classic authoritarian fashion, when confronted by a credible critic, Carlson didn't just fight back—he allegedly let that grudge fester into something uglier. Like Haman targeting Mordecai in the book of Wsthet [Esther 3:4] Purim story, Carlson’s hostility toward Grossberg hints at something broader and more dangerous: when a powerful man can't take accountability, he looks for someone to blame—and too often, it’s the same...

Sandra Solomon was born a Muslim in Ramallah under a different name and raised in Saudi Arabia before eventually moving to Canada, where she made the bold decision to leave Islam and convert to Christianity. In this powerful interview, she shares her personal journey of faith, her escape from religious oppression, and her outspoken fight against radical Islam. As the niece of Sakher Habash, a founding leader of the Palestinian Fatah movement and one of the architects of the Intifada, Sandra’s story is not only courageous but deeply intertwined with Middle Eastern history and politics.

We may finally have a video that tops the one of Georgia election workers (allegedly) rigging the 2020 election… Two videos, actually. In the first surveillance video, a Democrat city councilman can be seen in the backseat of a vehicle while his accomplice stuffs stacks of ballots into an election drop box. In the second video, captured a few days later, another vehicle pull ups and stuffs more ballots into the box! This time, the Democrat councilman is riding in the passenger seat. The councilman caught cheating in these videos is Abu Musa, who just won his election last week!...

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! VIDEO AT LINK............... pic.twitter.com/gwfpy23SXQ— Davy Jones (@itsNTBmedia) August 19, 2025I kid you not: Three Africans have set up shop in the woods outside Jedburgh, Scotland, for the last few months and have proclaimed themselves the rightful inheritors of the land. The "tribe" consists of "Queen Nandi", "King Atehene" and a handmaid from Texas named "Asnat" (all very traditional Gaelic names!). They have named the seat of their throne "Mount Shungu." Here they are marching through the city to proclaim the news to their subjects: The Kingdom Of Kabala Has Come😂 The self declared King of...

As families chased from their homes by the Burma Army return to their villages, hidden mines still threaten homes, churches, and fields. The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) are working with local volunteer deminers under civilian authority to train communities, improve detection, and get the gear needed to make the land safe again. Since the 2021 military coup, landmines have become one of the deadliest threats facing civilians in Burma. In Karenni and southern Shan state alone, there have been 205 recorded landmine incidents since that time, with actual numbers likely far greater due to underreporting. Burma now has one of...

While President Trump deserves credit for pursuing diplomacy to end the Ukraine war—a step his predecessor avoided—his strategy contains a grave risk to U.S. interests. In his pursuit of a historic peace deal, Trump has proposed offering Ukraine an “Article 5-like” security guarantee. This commitment, made outside of NATO, could obligate the U.S. military to defend Ukraine and create a direct tripwire for conflict with a nuclear-armed Russia.

The Department of Education (ED) announced on Tuesday that it is ending the taxpayer funding of political activism jobs on college campuses. The department is rescinding the Biden-era guidance that allowed the Federal Work Study (FWS) program, which provides college students with part-time jobs to help fund their education, to be used for jobs at political rallies, voter hotlines, poll workers and other political activism jobs. Institutions should instead “focus FWS funds on jobs that provide real-world work experience instead of political activities.” “Federal Work Study is meant to provide students opportunities to gain real-world experience that prepares them to...

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett blasted Texas Republicans’ newly redrawn district map as “racist” Monday night on Instagram — while in the same video she praised California Democrats’ gerrymander. Crockett’s comments come as runaway Texas Democrats return to Austin to vote on the Lone Star State’s proposed map, which will likely result in the GOP picking up five seats there in the midterms. California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom also recently announced a special November election for California voters to approve the Democratic-dominated state legislature’s gerrymandered map, which was drafted in an effort to “neutralize” Texas’ mid-decade redistricting. “All of the...

On Monday night, Sigal Chattah, U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada, sounded the alarm after a shocking betrayal of justice allowed an alleged child molester to escape accountability, which “outraged” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. The Gateway Pundit reported Monday that Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, head of the Technological Defense Division at the Israel National Cyber Directorate, was arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of attempting to lure minors for sexual purposes. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Alexandrovich was caught attempting to solicit sex from a minor electronically during a multi-agency sting operation targeting child predators. He...

Dustin Grage @GrageDustin: Flashback to when Sen. Omar Fateh claimed the real terrorists looked like his white Republican colleagues on the Minnesota Senate floor. An ethics complaint was later filed against him for violating the Senate’s code of conduct. Jul 16, 2025 https://x.com/GrageDustin/status/1945576885078933720

SoftBank will invest $2 billion into Intel as the struggling chipmaker pulls back on spending and lays off thousands of workers. In an announcement, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son said the investment aligns with the firm’s belief that “advanced semiconductor manufacturing and supply will further expand in the United States.” SoftBank’s investment in Intel makes it the sixth-largest shareholder, according to The Wall Street Journal. Last year, the Japanese investing firm committed to spending $100 billion in the US during President Donald Trump’s four years in office. SoftBank has already teamed up with OpenAI on Project Stargate, a $500 billion initiative...

Another day, another Democrat “public servant” caught behaving like she’s above the law. On Thursday night, Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan, a Democrat-appointed prosecutor with the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office, was arrested in Newport after refusing to leave a restaurant and berating responding officers with her supposed “status.” According to a press release from the Newport Police Department, officers were dispatched at 9:51 p.m. on August 14 to the Clarke Cooke House after an entitled Hogan and her friend, Veronica Hannan, reportedly refused repeated requests to leave. According to the bodycam footage obtained by Nicole Solas, Hogan...

VIDEO MSNBC has a new name as announced by an excited Morning Joe. The new name will take some time to get used to but we should respect their name change and use it right away.

Federal officials, in public and in federal courtrooms, are lying about the existence of video footage from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Utah Attorney Jesse Trentadue believes his brother was interrogated and tortured to death in August 1995 because federal authorities mistakenly thought he was “John Doe #2” in the Oklahoma City Bombing. For the past 30 years, Trentadue has filed 7 major federal FOIA lawsuits seeking documents and evidence, and has already obtained 2 million documents. Trentadue doggedly pursues the many lies federal authorities have told over the years about the bombing, and the illegal federal program “PATCON” that...

Our Constitution, perhaps the greatest document in human history behind the Bible, is not quite perfect. In 2025, we can see things that might have been added. Number one is probably term limits. Another would be a prohibition on deficit spending outside of war. And maybe they could have added something about judges being responsible for the crimes the criminals they release into society commit… No doubt there are countless things we could sit here 250 years later and think of that the Founding Fathers could have added, but didn’t because they couldn’t see into the future. One thing they...

Here, the Taiwan Relations Act provides a possible model. It allows the United States to provide continued military assistance and equipment to a government it does not technically recognize as a separate state, but with the goal of preventing Beijing from using force to resolve the political disputes stemming from the Chinese civil war.

On Monday night, a major explosion and fire occurred aboard a bulker in the Port of Baltimore's inner harbor, three miles from the site of the former Francis Scott Key Bridge. At 1830 hours local time, the vessel W Sapphire (IMO 9605645) was departing the CSX Curtis Bay coal pier in laden condition. Just off the dock, the vessel sustained a massive explosion in the forward hold, followed by a fire. A web cam operated by StreamTime captured video of the event, with some of the elements of the Key Bridge visible in the background. Multiple firefighting vessels responded immediately...
