NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — A Jonesboro, Georgia, woman has been arrested in connection with a phone scam in which a caller allegedly posed as a police officer and convinced a victim to send money for bail, according to the North Charleston Police Department. Police said a woman reported on Dec. 4, 2025, that she had been scammed several days earlier. The victim told investigators that on Nov. 30, while she was at a pharmacy, she received a phone call from someone identifying himself as “Sgt. Daniels” with the Charleston County Detention Center. The caller allegedly told the woman that...

PARIS — The nation of France has thrown its support behind the American conservative movement, graciously spending the past week filming a massive campaign ad for the Republican Party. With midterms just over two weeks away, the entire nation of France took it upon itself to film a sprawling attack ad, demonstrating with incredible realism the dangers of voting Democrat. "Wow. Thanks, France," said Republican Senate candidate Jon Husted. "This must have cost billions of dollars to film. We really didn't expect this level of support from the French. Honestly, you didn't have to go so far as burning...

Halloween is more than just a great opportunity to score Snickers bars from your kids' baskets. It's also the chance to deck out your lawn in a way that strikes terror into the hearts of any liberal who walks by! Here are 10 decorations you can put up to scare the living daylights out of your liberal neighbors: 1. Clarence Thomas inflatable: Simply plug him in and enjoy the shrieks of horror. 2. Biology textbook: Opened to the chapter that covers human genders... terrifying. 3. Graph showing minimal impact of climate change: Noooo! 4. Giant U.S. Constitution: With a spotlight...

On Mondays, it is a habit of mine to retrace examples of both the best and the worst in human behavior. I will happily write about the best later today. First, however, an example of the depths to which the human heart can sink. Now, to be sure, the willingness of pro-abortionists to say almost anything is not news to pro-lifers. But looking back, a 776-word-long New York Times op-ed by Susan Heath was unusually cavalier/ blunt/heartless, even by their lowly standards. Thinking about the “attacks on a woman’s right to choose,” Heath told her readers, “It wasn’t always like...

Update! We're about to "Maduro" Castro. I didn't know I was voting for this, but it is in fact what I voted for. Florida's top prosecutor announced an arrest warrant Monday for former Cuban president Raul Castro under state murder charges that echo a federal indictment unveiled earlier this year. Raul Castro, 95, is wanted on murder charges connected to the February 24, 1996, shooting down of two civilian aircraft from 'Brothers to the Rescue,' an organization assisting Cubans fleeing to Florida by sea. 'Raul Castro ordered the murder of four Floridians in cold blood, and Florida will never stop...

On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Robert “Bob” Gimlin captured just under a minute of shaky, grainy 16mm film footage of Bigfoot. Allegedly. Nearly 60 years later, the new documentary Capturing Bigfoot finally puts the issue to rest: it was a hoax. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Of course it was a hoax.” To many of us, the clip was an obvious ruse. That seven-foot-tall hirsute fella is a person in a suit. Bigfoot, like Nessie, the Abominable Snowman, the Jersey Devil, and El Chupacabra, does not exist. However, for many others, the myth has persisted. Those 59...

Feds have DNA evidence that can prove Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud, wed her brother: sources WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post. People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar — and possibly members of her family like her father — defrauded immigration authorities. One source said the DNA evidence was critical...

Carolyn Marvin was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after blocking the path of an Uber delivery robot and refusing to get out of the way. Marvin told Philadelphia’s ABC13 “I know they’re taking the jobs of human delivery workers and so, I have been protesting them whenever I saw them by standing in front of them and preventing them from going forward.” Police responded to the scene and asked Marvin to move out of the robot’s way. When she refused, they placed her in cuffs and arrested her. The incident was captured on video and has now garnered considerable...

You can't make it up. No one would have ever associated Halloween body bags with racist lynchings before the current woke stupidity of our current time. You can buy these "corpse kits" at Lowe's, for crying out loud. And yet in Pennsylvania of all places, a local NAACP chapter is getting involved because one guy who loves Halloween too much has decorations that trigger them. From FOX 29: The homeowner told FOX 29 that the decorations are only intended as Halloween displays and there was 'no other agenda' when putting them up. The homeowner also said they are 'sorry if...

The shelves are absolutely ransacked. Glass jars and other items have been ripped off all the shelves and smashed on the ground. Yet the looters didn't steal (or even touch!) the ham, bacon, or other delicious pork options in the refrigerators. The looters also avoided the toilet paper and tissues on the other side of the store. The truly eagle-eyed might have also noticed that a good portion of the wine was left on the shelves. The media tells me that these riots are being carried out by "French students" who want "better schools" and that the riots are "mostly...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump faced heavy criticism on Friday for replacing White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia with Jessica Rabbit. Critics pointed to her prior work as a lounge singer and the fact that she wasn't technically human as two major red flags. "It's obvious that Trump just wanted a pretty face behind the podium, but a lounge singer? How's she going to convey the president's agenda?" questioned MS NOW personality Rachel Maddow. "Press secretary used to be a prestigious role. Who would have thought the position once held by Karine Jean Pierre could sink so low?"...

SNIP This famous evidence of the creature known as Bigfoot was shot by a man named Roger Patterson in Northern California on Oct. 20, 1967. The footage lasts just 59 seconds. We don’t get to spend much time gawking at the creature (it’s only a tantalizing glimpse), but he’s there just long enough for us to notice several things. The hair on his back looks a bit shiny. And is it our imagination, or is this primitive creature not just walking but strolling, with a rather jaunty sense of purpose? Why did this footage possess the world? As an opening...

The NFL has stopped at nothing to extend its influence overseas, but ahead of the league’s first ever game in France, it may have to contend with the French government. The Saints reportedly left for Paris immediately after their game in New York concluded today. Police arrested 1,800 people across the country as “violent groups clashed with officers and looted shops.”

A majority of California students still can’t read or do math at grade level, with new standardized test scores showing little to no gains despite years of efforts to recover from pandemic-era learning losses. Just 49.3% of students met or exceeded state English language arts standards in 2025-26, while only 38.4% reached proficiency in math, according to California’s latest test results released Thursday. The scores are from tests administered in Spring 2026. The figures mark a 0.5 percentage-point increase in English scores and a 1.1-point gain in math from the previous school year, when 48.8% of students met English standards...

Using out of state money, radical pro-abortion groups have raised more than $25.7 million to defeat a proposed constitutional amendment that would protect babies from abortion in Missouri. Stop the Ban, the campaign opposing Amendment 3, has collected the sum as of Thursday, according to disclosure reports. The Fairness Project, a Washington, D.C.-based group, has contributed nearly $12 million of that total. By contrast, Her Health, Her Future PAC, the main group supporting Amendment 3, has raised $5.3 million, including a $2.9 million donation from a new Missouri-based nonprofit that doubled the campaign’s cash on hand. If approved by voters...

First off, for those of you who do not watch the NFL, do not watch television, cut their cable, and so on - we get it. We hear from you guys every time there is something sports related posted. If you can help yourselves, please refrain from telling all of us you do not watch the NFL or television anymore. We know. We've heard it before. Now for anyone watching tonight's game, did you catch the two political ads for Ken Paxton? At first, I thought why am I seeing this in Tennessee. Than I realized that this game being...
