Should paid protesters be REQUIRED to give notice who is paying them? After all, TV and RADIO ads are required to say "paid for by..." And paying a protester could be considered just another form of paid promotion.

International relations expert Ralph Schoellhammer says over “4 million” migrants arrived in the UK from 2021 to 2025, despite the government promising to reduce migration.

The number illegal immigrants who have crossed the English Channel since Friday has now reached 1,300, GB News can exclusively reveal. Today alone, 600 made the crossing in multiple boats. Another migrant dinghy is still en route, and authorities in the UK and France are preparing for hundreds more to cross tomorrow. It is an astonishing surge in migrant crossings over such a short period, at a time of year when the number of illegal dinghy crossings would normally slow down significantly. A total of 91 illegals arrived on Friday. That was followed by 164 on Saturday and a further...

CC fans are unhappy again. After Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White subbed Caitlin Clark out just shy of her double-double against the Minnesota Lynx, fans erupted, slamming the management. Clark helped her side secure a dominant 96-77 road win over the league-leading Lynx on September 22, 2026. The 24-year-old finished with 27 points, four steals, nine assists, and seven rebounds. She also produced several deep triples throughout the game. However, one of the highlights of Clark’s play came with 1:23 left in the fourth quarter when she connected with Sophie Cunningham for an easy layup. Makayla Timpson gave the ball...

I periodically listen to a local radio station while running morning errands. They recently switched from CBS to Fox affiliation. The morning host totally trashed Bongino. Evidently, Bongino is back on the air and his podcasts are run overnight before 5 AM. There was no comment about his ratings stinking, only that a few early morning risers don't like him.

It starts with the generals and goes straight through political waste and fraud in his ballooned-up budget and ends with a demoralized force of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. That will be Pete Hegseth’s legacy when he’s gone, and it will take at least a decade and probably more to repair the damage he has done to our nation’s security. The New York Times reported last week that Hegseth “has fired or blocked the promotions of more than 80 generals and admirals.” The Times called it a “purge,” and that’s what it is. Ten percent of the military’s high-ranking leadership...

In a terrifying legal saga out of Volusia County, Florida, a 23-year-old woman spent 13 miserable days in jail for a fatal hit-and-run she had absolutely nothing to do with. The only crime she committed? Driving a black Dodge Durango on the interstate. On October 4, 2025, a horrific chain-reaction crash on I-4 resulted in the deaths of three people, including Flagler County Deputy Administrator Jorge Salinas, his wife, and a motorcyclist named Joaquin “Deno” Deno. The vehicle that triggered the crash and fled the scene was identified by a witness as a Dodge Durango. Instead of a comprehensive investigation,...

Hundreds of illegal immigrants have crossed the English Channel today after weather conditions improved overnight. Over 250 migrants have arrived on British shores today on four boats, with another inbound. They are the first crossings for five days, after windy weather prevented people smugglers from launching their boats. GB News can confirm that one migrant dinghy made it across the Channel undetected this morning, until it was just a couple of miles from the Kent coast. Border force vessels and a lifeboat scrambled to reach the dinghy before it was able to land on Shakespeare beach close to Dover harbour.

Thousands of full-charge rounds wore the rifling out of the Iowas’ 16-inch guns, and the Navy replaced barrels after the war. The spares came from weapons ordered for ships that were never finished — the incomplete Illinois and Kentucky, and the cancelled Montana class. Battleships that never fired a shot kept the ones that did in action. Four Iowa-Class Battleships Fired More Than 14,700 16-Inch Shells in Korea: Every completed Iowa-class battleship served against North Korea: USS Missouri, USS New Jersey, USS Wisconsin, and USS Iowa. Missouri arrived first in September 1950. New Jersey followed in May 1951, Wisconsin in...

Meta has been ordered to pay $567 million into a New Mexico abatement fund after a judge found the company’s platforms contributed to the youth mental health crisis in the state, marking another major blow to Big Tech in a growing wave of child safety litigation. The order, reported by CNBC, follows an earlier finding that Meta willfully violated New Mexico’s Unfair Practices Act. The company had already been hit with $375 million in civil penalties earlier this year. The new $567 million abatement fund brings the total price tag in the case to nearly $1 billion. Judge Bryan Biedscheid...

An 88-year-old widow living in a trailer in rural Michigan has been listed as funneling over $150,000 to Democrat causes through ActBlue. Nearly 15,000 separate donations averaging eight per day, every single day, for five years, Michigan Enjoyer first reported. The latest allegations come as ActBlue continues to face intense scrutiny from congressional investigators and federal authorities over its donor verification practices and allegations of potentially fraudulent contributions.

I had to sign up for a google account to view a document by a former employer(edu) well over a decade ago. I have received notifications over the years that my account is going to be canceled because of lack of use. I just got another termination notice for the 5th or 6th time. LOL

Tweaker Geographic Episode 125: “TweakFairy”

Much chatter has been on teh X lately about the “explosive diarrhea” Cyclospora outbreak. I, foolishly, made some what I presumed to be, mild and sensible suggestions on teh X only to be subsumed by a tidal wave of hate. Apparently there are NO solutions to this crisis. Everyone is going to die. Or something. That’s the script. Don’t deviate from the script! So, to recap what I have learned from this most recent episode of daring to challenge the latest non scientific orthodoxy: The CDC is not doing any contact tracing or epidemiology studies. Which means they are not...

A Prelude as a Backdrop to this film: The film begins in June of 1787, in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. It has been over a decade since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which spurned a War of Revolution against England, which predominantly lasted for lasting 8 years. George Washington and his Continental Army’s decisive victories led to a number of considerable defeats for the British on all fronts, forcing the King of England to face the end of his sovereign control over the 13 American colonies. In the meantime, the United States is trying to establish an effective...
