Muslims are the only immigrant group who come to the West with a ready made model of society they believe to be superior to Western law and they work furiously, by all means, to impose it. Under Islam, shariah (Islamic) law supersedes Western law. Anywhere Western law and Shariah law conflict, it is always Western law that must give way. What those of us working in defense of freedom did not expect, was the craven capitulation and cowardice by Western left elites to Islamic supremacy.

@Ed_Miliband We’re investing £64m to transform Port Talbot into Wales' first floating offshore wind hub. That means 5,000 good jobs, £500m of investment and enough clean power for 6.5m homes. We are putting Wales at the heart of our clean energy superpower mission.

Daniel McAdams, director of the Ron Paul Institute. Is this America First?

@FarmActionUS Rep. Thomas Massie is on the brink of securing a huge win for small farmers. His PRIME Act is officially included in the 2026 Farm Bill. If this passes, it will deliver a blow to Big Ag’s stranglehold on the meatpacking industry. “This would make it easier for local farmers to sell directly to local consumers using a local slaughterhouse.” How? It would cut the USDA out of inspections for local processing facilities. “You don’t need the USDA to inspect a facility that has seven employees.” “So what I’ve proposed is that you could just have the local health...

@RepNancyMace Washington’s war machine has spent decades sending our sons and daughters into endless conflicts in the Middle East, with no clear exit strategy, all to serve the interests of powerful politicians. We will not stand for it. We will not sacrifice American lives for the same failed foreign policies. The war machine may be willing to give the lives of your sons and daughters for the price of oil, but we are not.

The Loyola Phoenix, the student newspaper of Loyola University Chicago, has issued an editor’s note apologizing for an Instagram post calling the alleged killer of 18-year-old student Sheridan Gorman an "illegal immigrant." "On March 23, a post on The Phoenix’s Instagram page carried the following headline: ‘Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved,’" the editor’s note, posted below a Sunday article about Gorman’s murder, read. "That headline didn’t reflect the most important elements in the story, and it was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm to affected community members," the editor’s note continued. "Additionally,...

@RepNancyMace Just walked out of a House Armed Services briefing on Iran. Let me repeat: I will not support troops on the ground in Iran, even more so after this briefing. @RepNancyMace The justifications presented to the American public for the war in Iran were not the same military objectives we were briefed on today in the House Armed Services Committee. This gap is deeply troubling. The longer this war continues, the faster it will lose the support of Congress and the American people. @RepNancyMace Washington’s war machine is hard at work. They are try to drag us into Iran...

Peter Jackson gave a promising video update on Andy Serkis' progress on The Hunt for Gollum, the next chapter in The Lord of the Rings cinematic saga. "The script is coming together really well, and I think it's going to be a really good film," Jackson teased, before bringing on Stephen Colbert to announce another new LOTR film. The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past, developed by Colbert and his son, Peter, will depict chapters 3-8 of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring, which did not appear in Jackson's original film trilogy. Let the hunt officially commence...

I just ordered home heating oil... FIVE TWENTY-NINE A GALLON. I have (2) 330 gallon tanks. I thought I'd order 200 at 4.65 to tide me over until the price goes down, but today it is FIVE TWENTY-NINE. So I ordered the miserable 100 gallon minimum instead of paying over a thousand for 200 gallons. I love Trump, but this is unsustainable, and there should be no reason it is happening with the amount of oil we are producing domestically. I am P!SSED! If you have some snide insulting comment for me, blast away, but if you do that I...

@BBCNewsnight "Men need to be perp-walked in handcuffs to the jail, and until we see that here in this country... we don't have a system of justice that's working." Republican Congressman Thomas Massie on whether survivors of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will see justice done.

Former Minnesota Governor and ex-professional wrestler Jesse Ventura is now openly suggesting that President Donald Trump somehow faked the assassination attempt that nearly took his life in Butler, Pennsylvania just so he could look like a hero. In a disgusting display of disrespect toward the victims of the Butler, Pennsylvania tragedy, Ventura appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored to suggest that the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump was nothing more than a scripted wrestling “blade job.” In pro wrestling, a blade job (also known as “blading,” “juicing,” or “getting color”) is the intentional act of a wrestler cutting themselves, usually...

@ggreenwald The latest major poll for Brazil's October presidential election shows the incumbent, Lula da Silva, now trailing Flavio Bolsonaro, the Rio Senator and son of the now-imprisoned former President Jair Bolsonaro (within the margin of error but most polls now have similar results):
