A customer, who rented a car on Hertz’s supposed ‘unlimited miles’ deal, found himself slapped with an eye-watering $10,000 bill after he clocked a staggering 25,000 miles in just one month. When he challenged the charge, Hertz did the unthinkable – they threatened to get him arrested. The saga began when the customer, who posted his encounter on TikTok, claimed his rental agreement clearly stated ‘unlimited miles.’ Yet, after his epic journey, he returned the car only to face a hefty charge and a raging Hertz employee. ‘Show me where it says I can’t charge you!’ barked the employee, adding...

Back by popular demand, Charlie welcomes back to the show Pedro Gonzalez, Associate Editor of Chronicles Magazine, for a second, in-depth talk about the truth regarding Ukraine, America's involvement in the country, and how our own nation shares, at least in part, for how Ukraine arrived at this fateful moment in history. Who exactly is Victoria Nuland? How was the US State Department involved in the Maidan Protests and subsequent violent and killing that ultimately resulted in the removal of a democratically elected president? Was the CIA involved in the so-called "Revolution of Dignity" in Ukraine? What role did neocons...

Blog/Cryptocurrency Posted Mar 8, 2022 by Martin Armstrong Spread the love more I warned ion the private blog that cryptocurrencies may end up being suspended. The excuse will be Russia and the news is out now that Biden will sign an Executive Order to regulate cryptos because Russia can use it to circumvent sanctions. Not only is Biden authorizing the regulation of digital currencies, but he is also instructing to move forward with a central bank cryptocurrency. Once that is done, all other cryptocurrencies will be seized and folded into the government’s crypto. There will be no competition. Money historically...

"Following a large picketing protest on December 8, the University Provost stated in an email that 'several injuries' occurred as faculty and students attempted to enter campus. The Student Workers of Columbia-United Auto Workers are demanding that the school increase wages for working students, including a $26 hourly wage."

The tribulation altar and the Holy of Holies will be Satan's primary target for destruction and desolation in the seven-year tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; 12:7; Rev. 11:1-3). However, when we look at Daniel 9:26; we see that some 2000 years earlier that; Messiah would be cut off (crucified, but not for Himself (Isa. 53, John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:10); and after that; the city and sanctuary were to be destroyed which took place in 70 A.D. The ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS propitiation and finished work of the Messiah put out of business the Temple and Altar; for Messiah fulfilled it perfectly (Matt.26:28;...

After HotAir went over to the dark side over the past 4 years, I started reading RedState again and was pleased to see that Erick Erickson was no longer associated with them. But ever since Wednesday morning, I've been keeping an eye on the tone of Conservative blogs. RedState seemss quite calm and unperturbed by the steal. Yes, they've done some stories about alleged voter fraud, but their heart doesn't seem to be very into it. So far they have no stories about Giuliani's press conference today. But they did have a story sticking up for Dan Crenshaw in his...

Ryan Reynolds has one simple request for young Canadians in British Columbia: Please don't kill his mom. The request came Friday, when provincial Premier John Horgan posted a video on Twitter asking for help from British Columbia-native celebrities in reaching young people about the dangers of partying during the coronavirus pandemic. Horgan called out Reynolds and Seth Rogen for help.

In my last column, “Newsweek Hits a New Low,” I wrote about Newsweek’s dishonest description of what I had said on one of my weekly PragerU “Fireside Chats.” A viewer had asked me to respond to a statement Anne Frank made in her epic Holocaust diary. Frank said, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” The Newsweek headline, “Conservative Radio Host Ridicules Anne Frank,” was simply a lie. In order for readers to appreciate the level of mendacity, I had my entire response transcribed and placed it in the column. A few days later I received...

Life is about living and obtaining experiences. It really and actually is. If you are not out “there” living life to it’s fullest, making friends, helping others, and raising a little bit of “Heck”, then you are wasting your life. Here, we look at others who are making their life count. They are making a difference in the lives of those around them. They are contributing and participating in life. They are the heroes. When life SCREAMS out your name, will you answer? Will you answer the call, like these people did? Rufus was the name of the good Samaritan...

Anyone who has been out in the real world during current and previous Christmas shopping seasons knows that there has been an informal (and occasionally formal) proscription against stores wishing customers a "Merry Christmas" and promoting Christmas in their ads and promotions. On Friday, Wolf Blitzer's CNN panel tried to pretend that the hostility towards "Merry Christmas" has never existed, as they mocked a video which exaggerated its thanks to President Donald Trump for "allowing us to say merry Christmas." Trump has made his preference for "Merry Christmas" very clear. The Trumps' 2017 Christmas card, as would be expected, has a...

On Friday, Fox News's Tucker Carlson interviewed Stephen F. Cohen, a contributing editor at The Nation. Cohen sharply criticized coverage at the Washington Post and the New York Times, and more generally stated that he has "never seen media malpractice" like the establishment press's year-long effort to breathe life into what he insists has been a completely ginned-up claim that Russia tried to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Given that it has leaned hard-left during its entire existence, it might stun readers here to know that Cohen, who is married to magazine editor Katrina vanden Heuvel, strongly believes, based on...

Last week I returned from a big journalism conference, and it cemented a hunch I’ve been ruminating on for a little while now: A lot of the chatter in the hallways was about data suggesting that readers have started paying less attention to the quick-churn news cycle. Web traffic to news sites appears to have declined across the board from the spikes after Trump was elected. That’s a problem for a lot of an industry that derives most of its revenue from the ad impressions that load every time you click on a story, whether or not you end up...

Tragic news broke Monday evening when the family of Otto Warmbier, the American college student taken by North Korea and returned in a coma, put out a statement that their son passed had away earlier that afternoon. “Unfortunately, the awful torturous mistreatment our son received at the hands of the North Koreans ensured that no other outcome was possible beyond the sad one we experienced today,” the statement said. When Otto was first detained by the Communist regime, multiple outlets mocked his arrest and impending doom.Tragic news broke Monday evening when the family of Otto Warmbier, the American college student...

On Thursday, the U.S. military dropped a MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) on an ISIS tunnel complex in Nangahar Province in Afghanistan. Shortly after that, USA Today posted a breathtakingly ignorant graphic purporting to show that the MOAB contained over 70 percent of the destructive force of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. This epic fail occurred even though the following comparison was known early on: The MOAB has the force of 11 tons of TNT. For comparison, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 had the force of 15 thousand tons of TNT. The destructive force of the...

The wagon-circling campaign to protect Obama administration and intelligence community officials who surveilled Donald Trump and his transition team during his presidential campaign and post-victory transition is moving into hyperdrive. On Monday, CNN's Don Lemon proclaimed that "there is no evidence whatsoever" supporting Donald Trump's claim about having been "spied on illegally" (note the inclusion of the word "illegally," which is crucial), and declared that he would not "aid and abet the people who are trying to misinform you." Lemon's stridency as he delivered his rant on CNN Tonight appeared to betray "he protests too much" behavior, while subsequent events...

He's done it before, but he quadrupled down this time. CNN's serial plagiarist Fareed Zakaria, who insists that former President Barack Obama's administration was "largely scandal-free," contended on Don Lemon's CNN Tonight show Friday evening that Donald Trump owes his whole life, his success and his election to the presidency to "bullsh*tting." As Matthew Balan at NewsBusters observed in early August, Zakaria described Trump as a "bullsh*t artist," and went to the left's favorite characterization of anyone they disagree with or don't like: CNN's Fareed Zakaria ripped Donald Trump with an uncensored expletive on Monday's Wolf program over the billionaire's...

The French government has recently demanded that the United States government and American based net providers of blogging, social media and forums such as wordpress, Twitter, Yahoo, Google and others trash the first amendment and its guarantee of free speech and Freedom of religion and adopt the same totalitarian censorship as the leftist European union. France has made demands to the US that they censor its blogs, posts, and other social media in order to comply with its views of liberalism, multi-culturalism and tolerance. This while having no toleration whatsoever for competing views on traditional values, Christian faith, family values,...
