On CNN This Morning, in a discussion of President Trump pressuring Bibi Netanyahu over the latest Gaza peace proposal, Stephen Collinson, the ponderous CNN senior politics reporter, said: "What's been missing in all of his peace efforts so far in Israel and in Ukraine, is his willingness to impose power and leverage, American leverage. We often talk about more nefarious ways he does it in the United States, but is this exactly what should be happening now, that Trump is finally standing behind his statements?" So, suggests Collinson, Trump applying "nefarious ways" to Israel is "exactly what should be happening...

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson's decision to align himself with the masked Antifa "protesters" confronting the ICE agents attempting to enforce America's immigration laws has created an inverted sense of justice in the city. At a demonstration outside the ICE offices in the city Antifa goons proceeded to attack journalist Nick Sortor who was observing the demonstration. Though outnumbered, Sorter's efforts to defend himself attracted the attention of the Portland Police who arrested him "for his own protection." The arresting officer explained "first of all, there was only one of him and dozens of Antifa. Arresting Sorter was feasible with minimal...

Confused or dishonest “populists” are attacking Trump antitrust officials for focusing on censorship and DEI rather than mundane economic issues. In doing so, they forget why the MAGA movement turned on Big Tech in the first place. America First Conservatives reject laissez-faire tech regulation because of Silicon Valley’s jihad against free speech, where dissidents were censored just for going against woke dogmas and being deemed “bigoted” by liberal apparatchiks. Fortunately, many parts of the tech industry appear to be turning a new corner. With X leading the way, free speech is now making a comeback on tech platforms. The Trump...

Mark Bray, a financier of international Antifa and the author of the Antifa Handbook, has announced he is fleeing to Europe (believed to be Spain). The announcement follows the U.S. government declaring Antifa domestic terrorists, and the intelligence community looking to establish the international links to declare international Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization. Without evidence, Bray says the reason is because of "death threats + doxing." Bray is one of the major financiers of the International Antifa Defence Fund, which also announced that it was shutting down to relocate its operations abroad in an attempt to escape U.S. prosecution....

Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant has issued a 20-page removal notice to X on September 26, demanding the platform censor 23 specific posts featuring raw CCTV clips showing the last moments of Iryna Zarutska's life for Australian users. If X doesn't comply, it faces fines of AU$825,000 per day. Among the targeted posts are commentaries about the slaying of Zarutska on her way to work by a convicted criminal on a train carriage, with many of the posts by journalists and online commentators criticising the double standards of the West when white women are murdered by criminals. Inman-Grant, who has...

VIDEOThe state of Illinois appears to be in state of Open Rebellion against enforcement of the immigration Laws. One big example of this rebellion happened in Chicago when members of ICE were under assault and aid was requested of the local police. However, the Chief of Patrol REFUSED to give them any aid thus endangering the lives of the ICE crew. Of course, this would not have happened without the consent of the deranged Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. Fortunately, the voters have an opportunity to soon let their feelings on this Open Rebellion be known since there will soon be...

In criminal prosecution, like construction, the smallest crack in the foundation can bring down the entire structure. The case against Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating conservative leader Charlie Kirk, appears solid from the outside – confession texts, a recovered weapon, witnesses by the thousands. But beneath this seemingly ironclad exterior, a troubling vulnerability has emerged that should concern every American who values justice. Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was shot dead while speaking to 3,000 supporters at Utah Valley University on September 10. A single bullet to the neck silenced one of conservatism’s most influential young...

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...
