During the early 1970s the greatest enemy to Israel was known as the Palestinian Liberation Organization who was known for waging terror attacks on Israeli civilians and targets all over the world. The PLO was known for being a Socialist organization whose sole purpose was the elimination of the state of Israel along with the establishment of a socialist state of Palestine where the constitution would be run by secular Marxism rather than Islam. Due to the short sidedness of the Rabin administration and later Begin there was an idea to bring about a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood into...

CNN once again presented itself as a case study of how much pull leftist billionaire George Soros has within the global media when it chose to use its journalists as emissaries protecting his image and his dark vision for the world. The loaded headline for the September 18 article: "How the right blames George Soros for just about everything." CNN took aim at Soros critics following Vice President J.D. Vance’s September 15 guest-host appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show, where he ripped unhinged magazine The Nation for grave-stomping on the TPUSA Founder’s grave after he was assassinated September 10. Vance...

Tucker Carlson’s team have been investigating the events of 9/11. Today they release the first segment of a multi-phase docuseries. A former FBI agent who was embedded in the CIA’s Bin Laden unit, Mark Rossini, claims the CIA was fully aware that the 9/11 hijackers were in the United States planning an attack. Rather than inform the FBI, the CIA tried to recruit two of the hijackers for a “false-flag” operation, which quickly spiraled out of control. The failed mission raises urgent questions about government secrecy, intelligence failures, and what really happened before 9/11. YouTube:The 9/11 Files: The CIA’s Secret...

We hear constantly about the importance of the independence of the Federal Reserve. Fine: but what if the Fed isn’t independent of politics, it is just independent of, and hostile to, the administration that is in power? Some think that is the situation now before us. Stephen Moore comments on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s most recent pronouncements: Fed Chairman Jerome Powell was full of doom and gloom yesterday [Wednesday], forecasting 1.6% growth for this year and closer to 1.5% next year. Was he talking about Afghanistan or the United States? In the second quarter of this year, the U.S. economy...

The level of brain-dead sludge disguised as economic news just plastered on the CNN.com website just to slam the so-called Trump “threat” is enough to subtract ten points from your intelligence quotient. CNN senior reporter Matt Egan — who’s made a name for himself for pushing some of the dumbest economic hot takes circulated by the network — is apparently trying to one-up himself. “The US economy has a new problem: Democracy is under siege,” cried Egan in a September 22 headline. Egan listed off a number of actions by President Donald Trump, to effectively compare him to a third-world...

New research reveals that climate fairness calculations have long favored wealthy, high-polluting nations by letting them delay urgent action while shifting responsibility onto vulnerable countries. Credit: Shutterstock Scientists have uncovered a hidden bias in climate pledges that rewards big polluters and penalizes vulnerable nations. Past calculations allowed high emitters to dodge responsibility and delay action. The new approach emphasizes historical responsibility, demanding steep cuts from wealthy countries and funding for poorer ones. Climate Goals Under Scrutiny Climate efforts are falling short of the Paris Agreement’s targets. To stay on track, each country is expected to contribute its ‘fair share’ of...

A North Carolina police officer who declared he was “Antifa” in a post on the social media app BlueSky was fired Monday by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, according to the News & Observer. Brian Edwards, 37, served as a detention officer for the agency while making the posts and had been promoted to corporal in May, the News & Observer reported. Edwards’ posts included calls for subjecting “traitors” to “war crimes trials” and hinted at executing them. “I maintain that the biggest mistake the US government has ever made was letting the traitors from the civil war back into...

VIDEOIn the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination the left has been trying to mischaracterize the assassin as something other that what he obviously is: a deranged LEFTIST who was living with his Trans lover. One yuuuuuge example of this pathetic deflection was the recent attempt by Jimmy Kimmel to infer that the assassin was somehow MAGA. Where did Kimmel get such an idea? Although this obvious mischaracterization came from many Democrats and liberals from within the same leftist bubble that Jimmy Kimmel lives, it could be that since Kimmel is a movie fan, he got this deranged notion from...

Another day, another perfectly sane and rational reaction from Keith Olbermann. (Sarcasm intended.) Less than two weeks after Charlie Kirk was brutally murdered by a radical leftist, ol' Keith figured now would be a good time to smooth things over by threatening another conservative media personality. But, as reported by the New York Post, this isn't unusual territory for Olbermann: Olbermann faced criticism last week for his reaction to ABC affiliate Sinclair's decision to air a remembrance for Kirk over Kimmel's show, an announcement made before the comedian was suspended. Olbermann's lovely social media post that time: Yeah. He's a...

President Trump has rightly demanded accountability from Attorney General Pam Bondi for her “safety dance” tenure at the Department of Justice. That same spirit of accountability, however, must also apply to the president himself — and one of his judicial nominees simply will not do. Rebecca Taibleson, nominated for the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, donated to ActBlue, Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, and Kamala Harris’ 2015 Senate run. She is 42 years old. If confirmed, she could shape precedent against conservatives for decades. So why is he nominating her? This pick occurred before Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In its aftermath, it...

Science or Control? A Reflection on Climate Change and Scientific AuthorityThe Climate Crisis: From Ice Age to Apocalypse In the 1970s, the fear was global cooling—scientific articles and media coverage warned of an impending ice age. That didn’t happen. Soon, the narrative shifted to global warming. When the planet didn’t burst into flames, the terminology changed again to climate change—a catch-all that could explain any weather event: rain or drought, heat or cold, snow or its absence. Every shift came with new studies, new headlines, and always the same conclusion: We’re to blame. But the Earth’s climate has always changed....

Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson The first of our five-part series on 9/11. Enjoy.

On the first weekend of September, I saw Charlie Kirk speak at the Build Up Korea conference in Seoul. It was his first trip to Asia and sadly destined to be his last; five days later, he was assassinated at Utah Valley University. The conference is an annual gathering of young Korean conservatives, with whom Kirk had become quite popular. Even after having taught university here for seven years, I still did not feel like I had a good handle on the current political scene. The issues that are divisive can appear puzzling and petty to the outsider unfamiliar with...

Open carry of handguns as of September 10, 2025 The number of states that ban the open carry of firearms has again been reduced to five. Before 2022, it was four, but New Jersey criminalized open carry, even with a permit, in 2022. New Jersey permit requirements and processes for obtaining a permit are being challenged in the courts. Connecticut banned open carry in 2023, making six states that generally banned open carry. Open carry with a permit is allowed in some rural parts of California. The California ban is being challenged in the Ninth Circuit.On September 10, 2025, Florida’s...

NFC North News @NFCNorthNewss 🚨🚨BREAKING: The NFL is cooperating with Federal Investigators over potential match fixing by the #Packers. This play in particular is what is raising red flags. A total of 1.1 BILLION was on Packers Moneyline, a record amount for the NFL. Yikes. 😬

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul thinks backing an antisemitic mayoral candidate will help get her re-elected. Others in the party are wondering and wavering.Was it a sign of growing confidence that his victory in November was inevitable, or merely just another indication of the strength of his hatred for the State of Israel and the Jews? Perhaps it’s a bit of both. Either way, it’s clear that Zohran Mamdani feels no need to feint to the center or water down his fervent anti-Zionism.When the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City promised to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...

Baltic incidents—drones, airspace brushes, GNSS spoofing—could cascade into a NATO–Russia war driven by fear, honor, and interest. Opening phases likely favor NATO in air and sea with superior ISR, EW, and standoff fires; Russia counters with missiles, dense air defenses, cyber, and navigation attacks. Two plausible endgames emerge: a non-nuclear grind to an armistice shaped by attrition and political risk, or limited nuclear use to coerce termination, shattering the taboo and accelerating crisis instability.

GLENDALE, AZ — President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared an awkward moment Sunday during the memorial for Charlie Kirk when they were both caught on a kiss cam. Witnesses could see Elon Musk awkwardly get Trump's attention, point at the Jumbotron, and turn to him with a shrug as if saying, "I guess we have no choice." Sources say Trump then shifted awkwardly in his seat as if waiting for the moment to pass, but Musk was ready to go for it. "I've never been on a Jumbotron before. Don't let me down," he allegedly said. "Come here,...
