End of the American Dream)—Does Iran have the ability to conduct 9/11-style attacks on U.S. soil? As you will see below, the Iranians are making all sorts of very serious threats and they are encouraging us to “prepare as many coffins as possible”. But most Americans do not take such threats seriously. They seem to believe that the war that is raging on the other side of the planet could never reach us. Unfortunately, the truth is that Iranian terror is a very potent threat. The Iranians used chemical weapons against protesters in January, I have documented that U.S. officials...

Weeks after the Obama Presidential Center’s star-studded opening in Chicago, a subcontractor who previously claimed his company was stiffed for nearly $4 million has shut down operations and laid off 25 union workers. Mike Owen, the owner of Chicago-based Adamson Plumbing Contractors, told Fox News Digital that the financial fallout forced the company to abandon about half a dozen other construction jobs and left it on the verge of collapse. Owen described the shutdown as a painful decision he believed was necessary to save the company from bankruptcy. "Laying off close to 30 people is something that no owner in...

These Americans are sharp and heartwarming. Love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S19Y94Wp72E

A "committed jihadist", Bashir planned a terror attack on a defence base with the man who later went on a deadly knife rampage at a synagogue in Manchester in October 2025. Bashir pleaded guilty to the preparation of terrorist acts with Jihad al Shamie last month. The pair took a 10-hour roadtrip to carry out "hostile reconnaissance" on a Ministry of Defence facility in August last year, two months before al Shamie was shot dead by police while carrying out his terrorist attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue. Today is the second day of the sentencing hearing at...

For weeks, Verona, Wisconsin tried to get Flock to remove the three automated license plate cameras that its city council had voted to stop using. Flock told city employees not to remove the cameras, and a Flock employee told city officials that they were unsure whether the cameras could be remotely disabled, which led the town to decide to put black plastic trash bags over them until Flock eventually removed the cameras itself, according to emails obtained using a public records request by 404 Media. The emails give insight into the process cities face while deFlocking themselves after voting not...

I am involved with the Apple developer program and therefore get the latest beta iOS updates. The last update iOS 27 Beta 4 is really weird because ONLY when visiting FoxNews does it automatically terminate Safari. I have not tested another single site other than FoxNews that resulted in termination of the Safari browser.

“When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.” Deuteronomy 22:8 (NIV) At first, this sounds like a small command. Put a railing around your roof. But it tells us something beautiful about God. God knows people fall. So he tells his people to do more than warn one another. He tells them to build mercy into the house. Do not wait until someone is broken on the ground. Put something between them and the edge. ****************** The...

@FmrRepMTG Total betrayal. The House of Representatives passed the NDAA 216-212. 7 Republicans voted NO. 6 Democrats voted YES. This $1.1 trillion dollar military budget contains Sec 219 that ties our military intelligence and military industrial base to Israel. Now it goes to the Senate.

Summary The US has signed a landmark nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia The US Department of Energy says the "peaceful nuclear co-operation agreement" will provide "great access" for US firms to the Saudi nuclear energy programme A "bilateral safeguards agreement" has also been signed as part of the deal, it says US media reported before the deal was announced that it could potentially allow Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium itself - we're yet to see the full details The fear is that if Saudi Arabia starts enriching its own uranium, hardliners in Iran could be encouraged to secretly race to...

A French modelling scout with close ties to the late US financier Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead at his home outside Paris, prosecutors said on Wednesday. Under investigation in France, Daniel Siad, 69, was one of several French men accused of aiding Epstein to traffic and abuse women. Siad had not yet been questioned by investigators, but had denied the allegations, saying he wanted to be heard and give his version of events. 'An investigation to determine the cause of death was opened on Monday evening following the discovery,' the Nanterre prosecutor's office said. An autopsy will be carried...

Women may be the fairer sex, but are they the better sex? Research is conclusive that men are better at quite a few things than women. Here are just a few examples: Being created: That's right, men were created first. Get wrecked, ladies. Fatherhood: Women are terrible dads. Growing a handlebar mustache and twirling it mischievously: Have you seen the women with mustaches? Not very impressive. Clogging toilets: Also, unclogging toilets. Thinking about Ancient Rome: Research suggests women never think about Ancient Rome, which is literally insane. Being President of the United States: Try harder, women. Moving furniture: Wherever...

@cspan @LeaderJohnThune on the defense budget, crypto bill and Russia sanctions: "None of those things get done if the Democrats continue their posture of trying to block even getting on legislation."

There’s resistance from progressive Democrats backing el Sayed, who has called Stevens an empty suit beholden to corporate interests. Supporters of Stevens, meanwhile, may be hesitant after weeks of ads painting el Sayed as unelectable and personally flawed. The big attack ad on TV has been claims that he is “disrespectful” toward women.

Not all mimes stay silent. One is now accused of terrorizing women. A Massachusetts man known for roaming in a black-and-white mime costume is accused of frightening women for months at a popular state park, where prosecutors say he allegedly stripped to his underwear, slathered himself in cooking oil and worked out near female employees before later collapsing in court as the allegations were read aloud. Hernan Villagran Lux, 29, of Framingham, is facing criminal harassment charges after three female state Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) employees had up to over 50 encounters over the past two months at...

The country roads of America brought the world across our land, as our role hosting the World Cup fittingly coincided with America 250. The sprawling event on a grand stage reminded the world—and us—about important realities of our nation at its quarter-millennial birthday. Now, like most Americans, I hugely prefer our football—which starts soon. We are just culturally biased toward a game that is far higher scoring, much more violent, and far more of a spectacle. We opt for the sports version of opera, with heightened, dangerous drama, rather than the grind and nuance of soccer. ---SNIP--- But the World...

Background: Just saw an AI vid in which two talking chimps in a car beat up a Maine Senatorial candidate. Question: Do you think AI vids with violence will eventually end up as prosecutable events? "Battery by artificial intelligence in the First Degree, Class A Felony", GA Code § 16-5-23.6

One of America's longest-serving conservative radio hosts is returning to Atlanta. Beginning soon, The Mike Church Show will air live weekday mornings from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Eastern on 1010 The King Atlanta, marking Mike Church's return to one of the nation's most important radio markets. Church, whose broadcasting career spans more than thirty-three years—including thirteen years as the top-rated host on SiriusXM Patriot—was invited by 1010 The King to help restore appointment listening and compelling conservative talk radio to Atlanta's daily routine. "I'm honored that 1010 The King has asked me to return to Atlanta," said Church. "Great...
