Kari Lake’s effort to fire Voice of America Director Michael Abramowitz has been blocked by a federal judge. Lake has been trying to oust Abramowitz as she reduces the staff of the agency, but Abramowitz has fought back, saying the only way to fire him is to go through an advisory board that requires Senate confirmation, according to The Washington Post. He has been on paid leave since March. President Donald Trump removed everyone on the board in January. Replacements are not yet in place. Trump chose Lake to oversee the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which includes VOA, but...

This is truly ghoulish: Minnesota Democrats are fundraising off Robin Westman’s murderous spree: Note the suggestion that “Minnesota Republicans…may refuse to take action, even now.” As though it were self-evident that Westman’s murders require banning a particular type of firearm, one of several, I believe, that he used. Governor Tim Walz has said that he is considering calling a special session to enact more gun control legislation, including an “assault rifle” ban. Minnesota Democrats want to turn the 2026 election into a referendum on gun control, as they turned the 2022 election into a referendum on abortion. They thus seek...

We were told America was a mongrel nation, weak, divided, controlled by Jews, incapable of military prowess. Every day I am here, I see the opposite. This is the most organized, unified, and powerful nation on earth. We were told fairy tales by criminals.

The success of President Trump's crackdown on DC crime is impressing the majority of Americans. Vice President JD Vance observed "this town averaged one murder every other day for the last 20-30 years, which means in two short weeks the president and his team have saved six or seven lives. People who would have been killed on the streets of DC are now living, breathing, and spending time with their families because the president had the willpower to say no more, we're not going to give the streets of DC over to vagrants and robbers and murderers." A recent Harvard...

On Sunday the nationalists in Australia are organizing a series of Australia-First marches confronting the issues of excessive migration, globalism, corporate control of politicians, population change and the destruction of Australian cultural identity.Obviously, this represents a threat to the authoritarian regime currently controlling Australian govt.As with the yellow vests in France, the AfD party in Germany, the MAGA movement in the USA, U.K Brexit and the current resurgence of British people against mass migration, these nationalist rallies are a direct threat to the globalist politicians and their corporate benefactors. The Australian government has pledged to crack down on non-compliant dissident...

You can’t make this up. On Friday morning, embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, recently fired by President Trump over allegations of fraud and misconduct, appeared in federal court to challenge her dismissal. The case was heard by none other than Judge Jia Cobb, a radical Biden-appointed judge already notorious for shamelessly blocking Trump’s lawful mass deportation orders. .... Snip.... Roger Stone @RogerJStoneJr Yeah I'm certain that it's just a coincidence that the Clerk of the DC court just happened to send fired Federal Reserve Board Member Lisa Cook's lawsuit to the Federal District judge who was Cook's sorority sister.

The short answer is: NO. The real answer is: It's slowly losing value.

Palestinian activists are huddling this weekend to devise the "next phase" of their protestsRadical Palestinians are planning and moving again on multiple fronts, raising the question: will we experience a violent fall semester on college campuses, in workplaces, in our places of worship and on our streets? The answer appears to be yes.On this Labor Day weekend, the nation’s top Palestinian and pro-Hamas strategists are gathering in Detroit, Michigan. We should pay attention as they plan for what they call the “next phase” of their campaign against Israel and against Jews. We saw a glimmering of this incipient uptick over...

And this year a heavy sand storm completely destroyed the "festival" including, tragically, the Orgy Dome. And yet dumb shmoes will continue to pay thousands of dollars to go to a festival that Mother Nature obviously hates to the extent that She destroys it every year.However, there is an incredible upside to Burning Man because it acts as a fantastic Man Filter. In this video someone points out that the week of Burning Man is also the one week of the year that women...

Run Time 54 m. / " started noticing something was off in home appraisals,” says Mitch Vexler, whistleblower and expert on property valuations. He tells Daniela Cambone: “They were inflating property values to jack up taxes, and that was feeding into trillions in school bond debt that I believe will spiral.” On the scope of the problem, Vexler is blunt: “We’re talking about $5.1 trillion in school bonds that are based on these inflated appraisals. That’s massive—this is a ticking time bomb for local governments and taxpayers alike.” He warns of consequences for the bond market: “School districts are relying...

Anti-Israel rioters on the Greek island of Crete have attacked an Israeli cruise ship, preventing tourists from disembarking in the latest incident targeting Israeli visitors in Greece. The MS Crown Iris — operated by Israeli cruise line Mano Maritime — was targeted once again by pro-Palestinian activists this week.

The rioters, waving Palestinian flags and holding banners falsely accusing Israel of genocide, clashed violently with police who were trying...

...What I’m learning about the shooter’s background is horrifying - yet predictable in the Communist hellhole of Minnesota - where chaos seems to be the norm. My research is showing that the Democrat Minnesota authorities KNEW this family and their history and either ignored what he was about to do - or facilitated it....
