Here is the current Speaker of the House in Virginia, in a church pulpit, telling congregants to ignore Jay Jones's call for the assassination of the prior Speaker and murder of his kids because…politics. Where is The Bulwark? Where are Dem leaders?

An 18-year-old man is facing felony charges after allegedly terrorizing a DePaul University student in a prolonged robbery and extortion scheme that began aboard a Red Line train in Lincoln Park and ended in a South Side alley. In a detention filing, prosecutors said Ricky Willis and another man who remains at large boarded a southbound Red Line train at Argyle in the early hours of September 6. When they reached Fullerton, an 18-year-old DePaul student boarded the train. They backed him into a corner and demanded money while threatening to kill him, according to prosecutors. After gaining control of...

The Engines of Wealth: From Conquest to CodePreface: Understanding the DNA of Human ActionHuman history is shaped by the tension between constant biological drives and changing social environments. Across centuries, people have sought the same essentials — food, clothing, shelter, and security — yet the mechanisms to achieve them have evolved dramatically. Civilizations rise and fall not because human nature changes, but because the systems that organize labor, energy, and capital shift in response to crisis, innovation, and opportunity.This essay traces three transformative forces that have repeatedly restructured societies and economies: war, which expanded wealth through conquest; plague, which redistributed...

(The Center Square) – Three Muslim men have been charged in connection to a shooting at a youth baseball complex in Katy, Texas, a suburb west of Houston. Shots were fired into the Ameripark youth baseball field, known as “The Rac,” when a youth baseball tournament was being played. Video obtained by KPRC 2 NBC News shows adults and children running away from the fields; “12-year-old Texas Colts players in light blue jerseys [were] running frantically for cover as bullets flew past them,” the news outlet reported. A 27-year-old coach was struck in the shoulder, taken to the hospital and...

SNL sketch referencing Pete Hegseth, 2025 In October 2025, Saturday Night Live aired a sketch referencing Pete Hegseth’s fiery remarks at a major military gathering. The comedic portrayal attempted to lampoon the atmosphere surrounding his address, but for those who have lived and served within the disciplined culture of the U.S. Armed Forces, the nuances of that moment carried a deeper strategic weight. What many viewers saw as political theater, warriors understood as a disciplined silence under authority. Political humor has long served as both a mirror and a pressure valve in American society. In a democracy, satire often reveals...

We’re hearing it everyday that Americans are facing an affordability crisis. Housing, tuition, health care, and grocery prices are rising fast. But over the first six months of Trump’s second term, affordability has gone up, not down. Through June inflation adjusted median household incomes are up about $1,100 per household.The stress that consumers are feeling about affordability is the hangover effects of the near 20% rise in prices under Bidenomics from 2021-23.Who Caused the “Affordability Crisis?”Also, don’t forget that the average family will see a near $2,000 tax savings next year due to the Trump tax cut passed in July.

Two men who killed a 60-year-old man in an expressway shooting nearly four years ago while they were both on pretrial release for felony gun cases have pleaded guilty. Joshua Concepcion, 22, and Alexis Perez, 20, were sentenced to 15 years and 12 years, respectively, according to court records. Around 4:19 a.m. on November 18, 2021, Federico Bautista was driving to work in McKinley Park when Perez, driving a stolen Jeep in the opposite direction on Damen Avenue, saw him and popped a U-turn, prosecutors said. Perez allegedly followed Bautista onto the Stevenson Expressway and pulled up alongside Bautista’s car...

For years I clung to the belief that, despite the rise in hostility to the Jewish community, we could still build lives here. I had watched from abroad during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party from 2015 to 2020, when Jew-hate poisoned the party and seeped into wider politics. Yet, despite my deep disappointment, I still believed in this country enough to move back from Hong Kong in 2022. I wanted to believe the Jewish story here still had a future, and I was determined to be a part of it. October 7, 2023, changed everything. Hamas carried out...

President Trump scorched Fox News in a Truth Social post after watching an interview that correspondent Peter Doocy conducted on his new “The Sunday Briefing” show with Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) about healthcare and the government shutdown, urging the conservative cable network to “either get on board, or get off board, NOW.” “Why is FoxNews and Peter Doocy putting on Democrat Senator Mark Kelly to talk about, totally unabated or challenged, Healthcare?,” Trump wrote. “The FAKE SPIN is so bad for Republicans that it is hard to believe that we WIN.” Trump’s ongoing war of words with the media, normally...

President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza garnered widespread support from many Middle Eastern countries. Foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, Egypt, and the Palestinian Authority all welcomed Trump's efforts and agreed to work with the US to advance the implementation of the peace plan. The plan includes releasing the remaining hostages, disarming Hamas, and the possibility of a Palestinian state — if Hamas complies with the plan and the Palestinian Authority agrees to discontinue its anti-Israel policies. If Hamas does not comply, Israel is authorized to continue fighting until...

Wow. In Oregon’s emergency lawsuit to prevent the President from sending troops to protect federal property, a disturbing email from @PortlandPolice Sergeant Andrew Braun (badge #56961) was included. In it, Braun blames the victims of Antifa violence for their own assaults and attacks. Braun claims that journalist @KatieDaviscourt , citizen journalist @hunnybadgermom and conservative activist @RheinDAmacher are somehow responsible for being attacked by “protesters.” He falsely labels Daviscourt and Chelly Boufferache as “counter-protesters” and accuses them of trespassing on federal property. In reality, these journalists stay near or on federal property because when they're on public streets in Portland, the...

'The Savant' is straight out of a progressive fever dream, with no mention of whose actually committing political violence.Tongues are wagging over Apple TV+ benching “The Savant,” a new series following a hate-crime specialist tracking evil white men. The Jessica Chastain vehicle was slated to debut on September 26. Now? There’s no new release date set. Why the dramatic move? Apple won’t exactly say, but many have suggested that the show features a Charlie Kirk-like figure painted in a negative light.Well, we’ve seen the show’s first four episodes, and here’s the ugly truth. The series is ripped from a progressive’s...

Sham Uddin, devout Muslim barrister, has repeatedly weaponized his platform to spew rabid vitriol, masquerading it as "justice." His rhetoric isn't mere activism—it's a toxic brew of Jew-hatred and baseless fabrications that echo the worst historical apologists for evil, like Candace Owens' grotesque defenses of Josef Mengele. Uddin's "contributions" to outlets like TV Islam only amplify this poison, lending a veneer of legitimacy to what is, in truth, a dangerous incitement against Jews and the State of Israel, the world's bulwark against Islamist extremism. Both disseminating which they themselves do not believe.A Pattern of Hatred: From "Free Palestine" Rants to...

It was grudging praise for President Donald Trump yet considering the source it was surprising bordering on astounding praise. Atlantic magazine writer Nicholas Florko should therefore be put on the alert to prepare for his shunning by his colleagues and other members of the media for daring to give what is in effect high praise to Trump for forcing Pfizer to agree to slash its drug prices with other pharmaceutical companies expected to follow suit.Florko's Thought Crime arrived on Thursday in the form of his article, "Pfizer Finally Gave Trump What He Wanted." The praise from Florko did not come...
