President Donald Trump will 'permanently pause migration' from third world countries and ordered a green card audit of 19 nations after the Washington, DC terror attack that left a National Guard soldier dead. Trump blasted former president Joe Biden for letting unvetted migrants stream into America - claiming he allowed the Afghan shooting suspect into the US during the disastrous 2021 withdrawal. 'I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the US system to fully recover,' he said in a Truth Social post Thursday night. Trump also vowed to end all federal benefits for noncitizens, denaturalize...

Although, I will not give particulars to protect myself, God performed a miracle for me last night. I was traveling from my work camp to a gas compression station, which compresses LNG to allow it to flow through the pipes easier. The road I was traveling on was good, except for after the T-intersection, then it turned very ice with hard packed ice with grooves in the road that could catch your tire. I slowed down to about 50km/hr, trying to be safe. However, the road still caught my tire and I spun out of control. I had no control...

Lizzo believes we, as a society, must “undo the effects of the Ozempic boom” because plus-sized women are being “erased.” The musician, 37, took to Substack on Sunday to share an essay titled, “Why is everybody losing weight and what do we do? Sincerely, a person who’s lost weight.” Lizzo, who began shedding pounds in the fall of 2023 following a very public harassment and hostile work environment scandal, confessed that the ordeal made her “deeply suicidal.” (snip) “We’re in an era where the bigger girls are getting smaller because they’re tired of being judged. And now those bigger girls...

The Afghan national suspected in the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, DC was brought into the US through a Biden-era refugee program after the former president's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that led to the death of 13 US military members. The same program is known to have given suspected terrorists protected status as refugees in the US. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, has been charged with shooting West Virginia National Guard troops Andrew Wolfe, 24, and Sarah Beckstrom, 20, in Washington, DC on Wednesday. The case is now under a terrorism investigation by the FBI. However, Republican lawmakers have...

Temps are going to be below freezing for about four days at my farm house/hunting cabin. The house is unheated. The temps will be getting up to 37°F, 46°F, and 52°F on those days. I have two options. A) Turn the water off from outside. I'd open up the faucets to relieve any existing pressure and turn the water heater down to low. B) Option 2. Leave the water on from outside. Turn the water on inside the house at a trickle. (3 faucets) Leave the water heater as is. Is one method better than the other? thnx

Tucker Carlson pressed Piers Morgan on whether he “would say the word ‘******’ on camera” — a question that came up as the two debated whether free speech has been restricted in the United Kingdom. Morgan, during an interview on Carlson’s show on Wednesday, declined the offer. Carlson had asked him a moment before directly: “Would you say the word ‘******’ on camera?” “No,” Morgan replied. “Why? You don’t want to get arrested, do ya?” Carlson jabbed. Morgan started to protest, but Carlson kept going, saying, “Ohhh, because it’s so harmful to people? Is it like gay-bashing? What’s wrong with...

The Trump administration on Wednesday said it was placing an indefinite pause on immigration from Afghanistan in response to the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington D.C. The suspected shooter, an Afghan national, immigrated to the U.S. in 2021, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). “Effective immediately, processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols,” the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said in a post on the social media platform X. “The protection and safety of our homeland and of the American people...

The New York Times produced a detailed, data-driven report on President Trump showing signs of aging. The president, 79, responded by calling the female reporter who co-wrote the story “ugly.” Trump’s post to Truth Social on Wednesday came less than two weeks after he said “quiet, piggy” to another female reporter, which drew attention to his gendered insults and general brusqueness. The Times’ story analyzed Trump’s public schedules this year and those during his first term in office. Americans see Trump “less than they used to,” The Times found. He “has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling...

Norman Rockwell’s Freedom From Want is one of the most iconic (and parodied) paintings of the 20th century—it’s the Thanksgiving painting we know without even necessarily knowing its name.

A Brazilian bodybuilder who had more than 200,000 followers on Instagram died this week after falling from her high-rise apartment in Rio de Janeiro, according to reports. Diana Areas, 39, was found dead outside the Unique Towers condominium building Thursday, according to the New York Post and People magazine, citing local news outlets. Before her fall, Areas had been admitted to a hospital after authorities were called to her home and found her with cuts on her body. The 39-year-old reportedly left the hospital without being discharged.

Two National Guard soldiers have been shot in an ambush-style attack just 800 yards from the White House, sparking a lockdown at the president's residence. The suspected gunman is in custody and two soldiers are in critical condition after a shoot-out at Farragut West metro station in the center of Washington, DC. The suspect was also wounded. Donald Trump vowed that 'the animal' who shot the troops 'will pay a very steep price.' FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that two soldiers are being treated at a local hospital after West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey earlier sparked confusion by announcing the...

From Columbus Day to Independence Day to Thanksgiving, the U.S. pretty much specializes in taking dates that celebrate genocide and discrimination, and repackaging them as family-friendly holidays. So each November, when Thanksgiving approaches, you may wonder exactly why Thanksgiving is bad. Not only is Thanksgiving offensive to Indigenous people, but it glorifies colonialism, slavery, and even epidemics. Many Americans who celebrate Thanksgiving have no idea just how cruel the holiday’s origins are, while those who do may choose to either boycott the holiday, or just use it as an excuse to express general gratitude, gather with family, and eat comfort...

Country music star Riley Green sparked outrage after posing with a slain animal he killed less than 12 months after he was hospitalized for a hunting injury. The 37-year-old shared the images in a carousel on his Instagram account, captioning the post: 'That was a hell of a drag out… blessed to be back out here #weouthere #bowhunting #bigboy.' In the first image, he was lying down in the shrubbery with the giant dead deer spread out in front of him.

After six congressional Democrats released a video advising members of the U.S. military and national security community to “refuse illegal orders,” President Donald Trump said the lawmakers should be tried in court for “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” But legal experts told us this was not sedition and that the legislators were restating the law that only lawful orders must be followed. “Sedition is trying to overthrow the government with force or violence,” Eric R. Carpenter, a professor of law at Florida International University College of Law, said in an email to us. “In the video, the elected officials are...

JUST IN: New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick is being RIPPED for falsely claiming, "being in the country illegally is a CIVIL issue..." "...and we will not enforce civil law." FALSE: It's a CRIME. How can you be the leader of a major police force and NOT know this? Arrest and deport. No exceptions.

@mtgreenee Oh I haven’t suffered enough for you while you post all day behind a screen? Do I have to stay until I’m assassinated like our friend Charlie Kirk. Will that be good enough for you then? Sh*t posting on the internet all day isn’t fighting. Get off YOUR ass and run for Congress. I fought harder than anyone in the real arena, not social media. Put down your little pebbles and put your money where your mouth is. @Cernovich Replying to @mtgreenee You need to serve out your full term.

As families across the U.S. gather on Thanksgiving to celebrate one of the nation’s most cherished national holidays, some educators and schools are lamenting the day, pushing back on its "colonial" roots, and incorporating diversity, equality and inclusion DEI into the holiday. At the University of California, Davis, the California History-Social Science Project, which describes itself as "Resources & professional learning for K-12 history-social science," hosted a Zoom event called "Decolonizing Thanksgiving in the Classroom." "We will discuss reframing classroom practices and rituals about Thanksgiving," the event description explained. "Centering perspectives from Turtle Island (a name for North America used...
