@Acyn Boebert: I am so tired of spending money elsewhere. I am tired of the industrial war complex getting all of our hard earned tax dollars. I have folks in Colorado who can't afford to live. We need America first policies right now.

My latest song. Eureka!

Five Mexican nationals were indicted on federal drug trafficking and weapons charges this week after authorities discovered a clandestine methamphetamine lab in Northern California, leading to the seizure of nearly 3,000 pounds of the drug, officials said. The Department of Justice said a federal grand jury returned a 10-count indictment Thursday against Luis Reyna Carrillo, 33, Mariana Vanessa Mendoza Camacho, 33, Juan Jesus Manriquez Diaz, 31, Alvaro Rosales, 44, and Manuel Juan Madrid Perez, 38, charging them with conspiracy to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine and multiple drug trafficking and gun offenses. "These illegal aliens allegedly operated a secret lab on...

As we navigate the opening quarter of 2026, the United States ammunition market has transitioned from a period of volatile demand to a state of forced prioritization. We are no longer witnessing a temporary market fluctuation driven by domestic panic; rather, we are navigating a structural realignment of the entire industrial base. This 2026 crisis is fundamentally a supply-side phenomenon where the civilian market is being “crowded out” by a monopolistic procurement force: the global defense apparatus. Unlike previous demand-driven shocks, this scarcity is rooted in the physical redirection of raw materials and manufacturing lines to sustain high-intensity kinetic conflicts...

If you haven't seen it yet, it's worth watching the 2 minute clip at the link. It's glorious to hear the truth spoken at the UN.AwakenedOutlaw repostedBridgett Fertig@LightOnLiberty·2hPresident Trump dropped the biggest Truth bomb regarding child trafficking to the world and he did it right in the faces of the UN globalist elites who facilitate it."Any system that results in the mass trafficking of children is inherently EVIL. Yet that is exactly what the globalist migration agenda has done. And it's what it's all about.""The previous administration lost nearly 300,000 children.Think of that.They lost more than 300,000 children, little children,...

Piers Morgan angrily stormed off his own show after a “Manosphere” influencer made a crude remark about his wife seeking out pool boys, flashing a photo of her in a bathing suit. The British broadcaster called it quits after just 15 minutes speaking with Harrison Sullivan, better known as “HSTikkyTokky” — a social media influencer who was featured in journalist Louis Theroux’s documentary “Inside the Manosphere” on a controversial ultra-masculine network online. SNIP “What I do with my children is up to me,” Sullivan added. “I don’t agree with you going to [Jeffrey] Epstein’s island and having freak-offs with Ghislaine...

Nigel Farage insisted "the British people will not put up with this any longer" amid a row over a Ramadan event held in London. Tory MP Nick Timothy sparked controversy with a tweet saying public Muslim prayer is an "act of domination and division", following the Open Iftar in Trafalgar Square on Monday. He is facing calls, including from Sir Keir Starmer, to be sacked as shadow justice secretary over the post. But Mr Farage echoed Mr Timothy's comments as he weighed in on the furore. The Reform UK leader wrote on X: "What we witnessed in London at the...

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- — Duke barely avoided a shocking upset to open the NCAA Tournament, with the No. 1 overall seed having to rally from 13 points down and going ahead for good in the final 5 minutes to beat 16th-seeded Siena 71-65 on Thursday. Cameron Boozer had 22 points and 13 rebounds for the East Region's headliner, which hit its first four shots yet need a comeback against a fearless upstart playing just five players right up to the final seconds. And yet, the Saints took it to the Blue Devils (33-2) at every turn. The No. 1 seeds...

Former reality TV star Joseph Duggar is facing a child molestation charge in Florida, almost five years after his brother Josh, who also starred in the TLC show "19 Kids and Counting," was convicted of downloading child sexual abuse images. Joseph Duggar, 31, was arrested in Arkansas, where he lives, and was awaiting extradition to Florida on Thursday. Duggar is charged with lewd and lascivious behavior on a child under 12 years old, according to an arrest affidavit from the Bay County Sheriff's Office in Panama City, Florida. Police officers in Tontitown, Arkansas, on Wednesday contacted deputies in Bay County,...

Why are men breaking up with—and abandoning—their girlfriends mid-hike? Breakups tend to follow a few predictable scripts, whether it’s an ominous “we need to talk” in the living room, a tense phone call, or, if someone’s particularly terrible, a text. But apparently, some men take them to new heights (literally), ending relationships mid-hike on mountaintops, which reads like the plot to a true-crime series. Yes, this is happening in real life, and often enough to earn its own name: alpine divorce. Despite the tongue-in-cheek branding, an “alpine divorce” is anything but playful. The name nods to a 19th-century short story...

Democrats have kept the Department of Homeland Security shuttered since mid-February because they were outraged that two Americans were killed by ICE agents while interfering with their work. Since then, terrorists have claimed four American lives – a number that could have been significantly higher had fortune not prevailed. So, where are the protests over these deaths? “What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling — and unacceptable in any American city,” is how Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer justified his party’s decision to force the DHS closure. Democrats are insisting on a raft of ICE “reforms,” but their goal is simply...

Diplomacy is not surrender, and talking to an opponent is not a reward for good behavior. In dealings with China, Russia, or Iran, U.S. diplomatic initiatives must always be measured not by the process or optics—or by whether they support an abstract goal—but by whether the outcome results in greater or weaker constraints on a rival’s ability to harm us and our interests. Does it increase or decrease his dependency on us? Does it aid or complicate his ability to concentrate military power against us? Does it ease or impede his path of conquest?A corollary has to do with allies....

Disturbing details about Cesar Chavez’s creepy California lair are emerging where the disgraced union titan allegedly raped girls and women while living like a king. Chavez has been accused of sexually abusing multiple young girls and women, according to a shocking investigation from the New York Times. Multiple women, two of whom said they were children, detailed accounts of when Chavez allegedly began sexually abusing them. The allegations have surfaced more than thirty years since the co-founder of the United Farm Workers labor union died in 1993. Ana Murguia claimed the abuse started when she was just 13, while Debra...
