If peace is on the way, why are they feverishly preparing for World War III? It appears to me that NATO countries are convinced that something really big is coming. Is there something that they know that they aren’t telling the rest of us? As I discussed yesterday, things in the Middle East are really heating up, and the conflict in Ukraine has reached a very dangerous stage. If negotiations with Russia fail, both sides are likely to significantly escalate matters in a desperate attempt to win the war, and the Russians could come to the conclusion that a final...

ope Francis is facing another terrifying health scare. The Vatican confirmed that the 88-year-old pontiff suffered two episodes of acute respiratory insufficiency this week, moments where his breathing nearly stopped entirely. Medical teams had to intervene, using non-invasive mechanical ventilation to help him breathe. This latest setback stems from the accumulation of mucus in his lungs, which doctors had to remove through bronchoscopies. It’s hard to ignore the gravity of the situation. Pope Francis has been fighting double pneumonia since mid-February, and while there have been slight improvements, his condition is still precarious. The Vatican’s announcement makes it clear: while...

The U.S. government is in the habit of sending hundreds of billions overseas each year—foreign aid, military assistance, humanitarian support—and most of it is wasted or siphoned off by the well-connected. It’s the ultimate slush fund. Billions are funneled to NGOs that line their pockets, pay exorbitant salaries to their cronies, and rarely, if ever, deliver on the stated mission. This is a direct line to the $36 trillion debt and a $2 trillion annual deficit we’re drowning in. Foreign aid is a massive scam, draining U.S. coffers while our own infrastructure and services fall apart. Look at the State...

Have you noticed that there has been a very alarming rise in volcanic activity in recent months? According to Volcano Discovery, 38 volcanoes around the globe have recently erupted, and dozens more are showing signs of either unrest or minor activity. In all my years, I have never seen anything quite like this, and I am entirely convinced that seismic activity will only increase during the months ahead. Here in the United States, I am watching Mt. Rainier very closely, and Yellowstone is a threat that is constantly hanging over our heads. But scientists are warning that Mount Spurr could...

In what has become a horror show for the British army, the force is even more hollowed out than once thought. The Brits may only have 20 to 25 main battle tanks that they could count on should there be an overseas deployment. The Royal Armored Corps is supposed to have 59 Challenger 2 tanks, but there haven’t been that many in years. The problem started in the 1990s and got worse due to parts shortages, defense contractors going bankrupt, and maintenance and repair worker shortages.

Norm Eisen's ongoing lawsuits against Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are drawing scrutiny—and not just because of the high-profile figures involved. It turns out, Eisen’s own family ties are raising serious questions about conflict of interest. His daughter, Tamar Eisen, worked as a Program Officer for the National Democratic Institute (NDI)—a non-profit organization that has been on the receiving end of millions in USAID funding. It doesn’t stop there. The NDI has been the recipient of substantial USAID grants, including a hefty $32.3 million for the “Electoral Empowerment of CSO Project.” Now, just as Norm Eisen’s lawsuits against...

Imagine a birthday cake so large that it has 250 candles on it. Such could be the case on July 4th next year, when America will celebrate two and a half centuries of our national independence. Just last week President Trump issued Executive Order 14180 to plan for that birthday. The order calls for a “grand celebration worthy of the momentous occasion.” And it adds, “It is also the purpose of this order to take other actions to honor the history of our great Nation.”

The largest and most bloated bureaucracy in the history of the world has been thrown into a state of complete and utter chaos. I have no idea how all of this is going to end, but it sure is entertaining to watch. President Trump is firing people left and right, and Elon Musk is storming around Washington D.C. like a bull in a china shop. I think that the words “shock and awe” don’t even begin to describe what we are witnessing. Nobody has ever dared to go into these ultra-powerful government agencies and start turning the tables over. When...

What in the world just happened at Reagan National Airport? Like many of you, I was deeply distressed to hear of such a great tragedy that should have been so easy to avoid. There is no way that we can bring back those that have died. Many believe that if competent people were running things at Reagan National Airport, they would still be with us. Others are entirely convinced that we aren’t being given the entire picture. There are so many unanswered questions, and I am going to share quite a few with you in this article. But let’s start...

NBC News senior business correspondent Christine Romans is already laying the groundwork for how the stupid media narrative will be spun if the supposedly stellar Biden economy nosedives: blame President Donald Trump. Romans’ Inauguration Day piece, “The economy starts the year in solid shape. Now it's in Trump's hands,” followed the typical course of leftist media regurgitating devoid-of-context data points the Biden White House sticks to its decrepit economic record like a bunch of barnacles. Then Romans brazenly set the stage for how coverage of Trump’s own record will go: “The president-elect inherits robust growth, sticky but much lower inflation...

Around midmorning on Thursday, parents across Montana started receiving texts from their children that schools were in lockdown. Schools quickly confiscated students’ phones, and parents panicked as they couldn’t find out anything more about what was happening. Schools statewide received threats of a suicidal person with a gun. Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, and Kalispell all received threats. Fortunately, there was no such gunman. The threatening phone calls originated from a foreign country, with schools receiving the same message. But the incident raises the question of what Montanans can do to keep schools safe . . . Instead of using...

Since his election, President-Elect Donald Trump has worked quickly to assemble a first-rate cabinet that will disrupt the “Deep State” and bring much needed change to our federal government. Unfortunately, we must wait until January 20, 2025, for his inauguration. Until then, the entire world is in danger of being plunged into a nuclear war, compliments of President Joe Biden and the team of warmongers controlling him. Last week, it was announced that Biden had given Ukraine approval to use long range American missiles, MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile Systems, to strike deep inside Russia. After the decision was announced, Ukraine...

A leftist group financed by self-appointed Minister of Truth George Soros is partnering with a Big Tech-backed organization in an attempt to interfere in the 2024 election. The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) boasted in an Aug. 21 press release how it was leading a joint effort for “Helping Election Officials Combat Misinformation in 2024” with a “course” co-led by the Google and Facebook-backed Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL), which was significantly involved in the whole “Zuck Bucks” scandal to influence the 2020 election. Notably, Soros pumped at least $1,496,000 into the coffers of CDT and its...

The M4 Carbine dates back to the Vietnam War when the Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrol soldiers needed a weapon that was compact and still semi-concealable so they could snoop deep into enemy territory without being seen. This was the CAR-15, the older brother of the M4. The M-16 was longer and cumbersome in close combat situations, so special operations personnel later preferred the smaller size of the M4, especially when they jumped out of airplanes. The M4 then spread to light infantry units later in the 1990s. Some soldiers and marines still used the M-16A2 and A3 until the Second Gulf...

She should have just kept her mouth shut about the economy. I know that sounds harsh, but it is true. The best chance that Kamala Harris had of winning was to stand for nothing. I am being completely serious. For the first few weeks of her campaign, she was being showered with positive coverage by the mainstream media even though she had not come forward with any serious policy proposals. She could have probably continued doing that all the way to election day in November, but now she has ruined her campaign by telling us what she actually plans to...

America has more civilian-owned guns per capita than any other country in the world. However, only 0.0084% of the country's estimated 500,000,000 firearms are used to end a human life. "Gun violence" is a broadly defined term that encompasses the relationship between firearms and death, crime, or injuries. Unfortunately, this vague terminology can divert conversations from concrete data and hinder the development of effective solutions. This report will highlight the increasing issues related to gun violence and provide a clearer understanding of the term.

MSNBC's Morning Joe tap-danced on the Democrat line again on Monday, freaking out over Donald Trump joking to the Christians at a Turning Point USA "Believers Summit" that they won't need to vote in four years because "we'll have it fixed." Sharpton thought he was criticizing Donald Trump. Instead, he unintentionally revealed something ominous about the Dem strategy for "winning" elections. "If he's saying he's going to give the far-right Christians what they want, it is frightening at best. They're trying in some states to stop a drop box for voting, trying to limit early voting, He intends to set...

So apparently the US Supreme Court has just given 40 US states the green light to begin issuing their own gold and silver-backed currencies. Quote from the SC decision: “The United States maintains a dual system of banking, made up of parallel federal and state banking systems. That dual system allows privately owned banks to choose whether to obtain a charter from the Federal Government or from a state government.” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-529_1b7d.pdf
