Trump’s UK visit nearly took a dramatic turn when his helicopter, carrying him and Melania, made an emergency landing after a hydraulic issue. Diverted to Luton, the Trumps switched choppers before boarding Air Force One back to the U.S. The White House called it “minor,” but the symbolism is striking: the world’s most powerful man, forced down mid-flight. Was it just a glitch — or a reminder of how fragile power can be?

They hate you and think your normal American beliefs are "fascist." Case in point: A group of adults on Facebook who infiltrated group chats and coordinated to destroy students for wanting to start a Turning Point USA chapter in the Spring Branch school district at Stratford High School in Houston. https://x.com/M4LHarris/status/1968756309609570494?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1968756309609570494%7Ctwgr%5E0a7fa75bf619ab6bee9ae31b8cc4ad343b452139%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnotthebee.com%2Farticle%2Ftexas-ag-to-investigate-facebook-group-that-doxxed-kids-who-want-to-start-tpusa-chapter-at-their-school Here is the part where they name the students/teachers who want to start the TPUSA chapter (names redacted): The group claims, in direct contradiction to the FBI, the governor of Utah, District Attorney Jeffrey Grey, the accused shooter's own family, and the accused shooter's own messages, that the suspect...

VIDEOWhen you see the thumbnail for this video you might think it is a bit hyperbolic with the images of Mao's Little Red Book. However, just a few seconds into this video, you will agree that the images were entirely appropriate after hearing this Oberlin College Commie student speak approvingly of political assassinations, including that of Charlie Kirk, and lovingly quoting Mao to justify them. BTW, I'm not exactly surprised these rantings are from an Oberlin College student since that school has had a reputation for promoting Communist ideology for years.

Things haven't been going well for Democrats in recent months. President Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in a landslide and he was given, by voters, GOP majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate. Those "leading" the Democrat Party are aging seriously. New blood is tainted with extremism, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom's radicalism that doesn't even earn the appreciation of all Democrats, much less a cross-section of all voters. Trump Derangement Syndrome is at the pandemic level. Fundraising is off, and the issues all have lined up against them. Under Trump inflation is declining, jobs are working toward a...

Nothing to see here, just one of the most popular members of the Democratic caucus slandering a recently assassinated Republican from a pulpit. Yes, this really happened. VIDEOS AT LINK............ I do believe those of you who are interested in rewriting this hateful man's history are full of s---! Omar was at Elim Lutheran Church in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, for a town hall on Saturday. She was responding to a man who pointing out that Kirk was all about civil discourse. Here's the broader context: "Rewriting history" for Omar means debunking fake quotes from Charlie Kirk or putting other quotes of...

...President Trump announced he is going to declare Antifa a terrorist organization. Why is that important now? Because it obviously has something do with Charlie’s death. Let’s connect a few dots.....

Disney’s crumbling empire just hit another disaster, this time thanks to late-night clown Jimmy Kimmel. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney’s top brass, CEO Bob Iger and co-chair Dana Walden, made the decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the disgraced host refused to apologize for falsely pinning the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk on Trump supporters. Instead of showing an ounce of humility, Kimmel doubled down and prepared a fiery, anti-MAGA tirade that executives feared would “fan the flames.” ABC insiders revealed that affiliate owners and advertisers were in open revolt. By Wednesday, 66 of the 200 affiliate stations...

The Obama library — which isn't a library — has ballooned to a construction cost of more than $615 million, up from the original estimate of $300 million when the edifice was proposed in 2019. As 2024, the estimate had soared to $615 million, with the cost adding up to a whopping $615,674,047. But according to the Chicago Tribune, other estimates have already placed construction costs past the $700 million mark. Along with these massive cost overruns, the Barack Obama Presidential Center has had a very troubled history already, and it hasn’t even been completed yet. Originally, the Obama Center...

China’s scripted coast-guard incursions around the Senkaku Islands aim to normalize control through mass and proximity. But Japan has reorganized for rapid joint action, dispersing long-range anti-ship missiles across the Ryukyus, expanding fifth-gen air and AEW, and adding Tomahawks to create a lethal denial web. The U.S.–Japan alliance now signals unambiguous coverage, with carrier, Marine Littoral Regiment, and ISR/long-range fires ready to stiffen defense. Who would win a fight?

The Trump administration is preparing to designate transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, two national security officials tell me. “We're looking at the entire spider web for any of these attacks,” FBI director Kash Patel told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, when asked about shootings by trans individuals. “They,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said after the Kirk murder, are “putting this crazy ideology in our schools,” echoing the growing view of many in Trump’s inner circle that a “cult of gender ideology” is behind an explosion of violence by some as yet unidentified...

Generational power dynamics are why we’re in this position. I’m a late Gen-Xer. By some accounting, I’m an early Gen Y/Millenial. I refuse to be lumped into that group of individuals, personally, but that’s not why I’m writing this. Growing up, our parents pressed us to reach for our dreams. I think every good parent would want that for their kids, but I believe every generation’s motivations for that message are different. The Greatest Generation wanted their kids to not repeat the mistakes of the world at the turn of the 20th century. So many died for freedom, and the...

This was my home for 18 years when the fire started.I’m disappointed that all the media is saying is that it was “an electrical fire that started in the basement.”I want a lot more information.What is the controlling factor for why the fire started now, and not 10 years ago?How did it start?Why didn’t the city inspectors, the insurance company, or the landlord prevent it from starting?What could have been done to prevent this fire from starting, and why wasn’t it done?Here’s a news article about this fire from the Pittsburgh affiliate of ABC News. It includes a link to...

For years I have been writing about the slander culture of the left, whereby they can say any lie about anyone who disagrees with them without any consequence. These lies are often pure slander and defamation, based on no facts. Often they grow to a point that anyone attacked in this manner becomes a persona non grata, ostracized by all society out of fear.................. The events in the past two days in connection with former host Jimmy Kimmel of Jimmy Kimmel Live! however tells me that the murder of Charlie Kirk has truly changed things.

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump Administration from deporting Guatemalan children in HHS custody to their home country. US District Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, said Trump’s claim he is reunifying the migrant children with their parents “crumbled like a house of cards.” The government of Guatemala has now formally requested that these children be returned home. The children, who do not have a parent in the US, were in the care of the Health and Human Services Department. The Trump Administration worked with the Guatemalan government to devise a plan to safely return the children to...

LOS ANGELES -- Back in Spring Training, when he signed a contract to return to the big leagues for his 18th season, Clayton Kershaw reiterated his desire to retire as a Dodger. Retirement had crossed the veteran left-hander's mind leading into this year, but after losing much of the prior season to injury, he wanted to go out on his own terms. And there was only one team with whom he wanted to do it.
