  • The Outrage of Somali Fraudsters

    In Minnesota, the Somali fraudsters who have managed to have diverted to themselves billions of dollars through the state’s welfare system for services, from child care to hospice care and everything in between, never rendered, are outraged that any of the luxury goods they bought with that money should be taken away from them. When the government repo men appear, the Somalis fly into a fury. It’s amazing how much anger they manage to summon up. They feel genuinely put-upon, victimized by racists depriving them of their new possessions only because they are Somalis. Here are just five of those...

Webber was arrested at a Virginia hospital and faces first- and second-degree murder charges as he awaits extradition to Charles County.

    Almost a year ago, we learned that more than half of Leftist women between the ages of 18 and 29 have at least one diagnosed mental illness. It shows. There's a reason we refer to them as AWFULs — Affluent White Female Urban Leftists — after all. Now a significant number of those women between the ages of 15 and 44 want to leave the U.S. and move permanently overseas, according to Gallup.

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a promising sign that the weeks-long conflict in the Middle East could soon be over, President Donald Trump postponed strikes against Iran until all of its leaders assembled in one place again for a meeting. Trump posted the announcement to his Truth Social account on Monday morning, revealing that planned strikes on strategic targets would be halted until all of the remaining leaders of the Iranian government gathered again in one room. "We're holding off until we get them all together again," Trump posted. "We did it before, and it was very successful. It was my...

    President Donald Trump announced Monday he is postponing planned U.S. military strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure for five days after what he described as "very good and productive" talks with Tehran."I am pleased to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the middle east," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Based on the tenor and tone of these in depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which will continue throughout the week, i have instructed the...

    After her knockout Saturday, women’s junior flyweight boxer Isis Sio has been placed in a medically induced coma, ESPN reported Sunday. ... The 19-year-old was knocked unconscious after multiple hits to the head in her fight with Jocelyn Camarillo at the Orange Show Event Center in San Bernardino, Calif. Camarillo landed an early left hook and three more punches before Sio fell to the ground. The fight ended after 78 seconds. She received immediate medical attention following the knockout and was stretchered out of the arena before being taken to the Intensive Care Unit at Loma Linda University Health Medical...

    “And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.” (Mt 17:1-2) When Jesus took Peter, James, and John to a high mountain to show them this amazing moment where he was transfigured and glowed with such brilliance that he outshined the sun, Peter’s reaction was very earthly. Peter wanted to build tabernacles in places where people could come and worship where this event took place. It’s almost...

    Mediaite ^ | March 23, 2026 | Ahmad Austin, Jr.
    President Donald Trump on Monday told CNBC’s Joe Kernen that Iran is in the process of regime change following his latest talks with the country. Moments before their phone call, Trump revealed in a Truth Social post that he had “productive conversations” with Iranian leadership. As a result of those conversations, the president said, there would be a temporary halt to military strikes on Iranian targets. Operation Epic Fury, the operation that began the war in Iran three weeks ago, killed more than four dozen members of the Iranian leadership, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran, however, said “there has...

    The civilian board that oversees America's spy agencies will probe whether political bias kept intelligence analysts from sharing with Congress and President Donald Trump evidence that China meddled in elections dating to 2020, its chairman says after an explosive report by Just the News. "We ran a decade-long investigation in the Congress into China, and so this new bombshell that you just dropped is very concerning to me, and it should be to the Congress," President's Intelligence Advisory Board Chairman Devin Nunes told the Just the News, No Noise television show. "This information was likely around in 2019, probably in...

    As New York approaches the Green Energy Cliff, developments are starting to come more quickly. When last I addressed the subject on March 6, there had just been “leaked” a three-page memo from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to the Governor’s office, revealing that implementation of what New York calls its “cap and invest” program — actually, an artificial scarcity program intentionally designed to drive prices up and impoverish the people — would cost every New York household thousands of dollars in increased energy costs. (I put the word “leaked” in quotes because most knowledgeable...

    As the 89th Banking Convention wraps up in Cancún today, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau share the stage with Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, and the BIS—amid a focus on ending cash that ties perfectly into Mexico’s ongoing biometric ID rollout. On Wednesday, the 89th Banking Convention began in Cancún, Mexico, as representatives from the Mexican government and banking sector met to discuss the future of digital payments and the phasing out of cash in a country where more than three-fourths of the population depends on it. The annual meeting brought together leaders from Mexico’s financial...

  • The Dunning–Kruger Problem in Modern Governance

    American Thinker ^ | 23 Mar, 2026 | Jeannie DeAngelis
    Overconfidence despite clear incompetence was evident in both Obama and Mamdani. There is a cognitive bias called the Dunning–Kruger effect, which -- in my opinion -- would be better called the Obama-Mamdani effect today. Dunning-Kruger describes a delusional mindset where “People with low knowledge or skill in an area tend to overestimate how competent they are.” In biblical terms, this kind of hubris is defined by Paul in Romans 12:3 as one “...think[ing] more highly of oneself than one ought.” That Scripture verse captures the essence of two popular, similar politicians who, despite having little knowledge or skill, have convinced...

    @DineshDSouza He hasn’t paid income tax in over 30 years and claims he hasn’t gone to jail because Americans are not legally required to file….. @PeterSchiff My father also said, “Show me the law.” He coined the term “confession” to describe the 1040. Though the government never showed him any law that required him to pay income taxes or file an income tax confession, corrupt judges orchestrated convictions to protect the government.

    Heart-pounding audio captured the frantic moments before Sunday’s fatal collision involving an Air Canada passenger plane and a firefighting truck at LaGuardia Airport — with one air traffic controller admitting after they “messed up.” Air traffic controllers urged an incoming plane to go around as the crash unfolded on the ground, killing the jet’s pilot and co-pilot, according to LiveATC audio. The truck was cleared to cross the airport’s Runway 4 before air traffic controllers urged a Frontier plane bound for Miami and the vehicle to stop. “Stop, stop, stop, stop,” the controller frantically demanded. “Truck 1, stop, stop, stop....

    The news just keeps getting more disgusting from the Sandalista Spring Break crowd, descending on Cuba to show 'solidarity' as President Trump halts its "free" oil from Venezuela, and creating a boatload of misery for Cuba's socialism-impoverished locals. It wasn't just gawking at people's poverty from state safari-style tour buses while singing 'Guantamanera' at them, which I wrote about here. Alberto de la Cruz @albertodelacruz "This is how the foreign communists visiting Cuba get around...like they're on a safari through a theme park. Then they ask us to resist in the name of their criminal ideology. They're all immoral." It...
