It's funny how much of the Democrat modus operandi resembles that of scam artists. Holiday scams are rising as many rush for deals yet discount due diligence. The left employs its own kind of political phishing, creative, yet driven by emotions such as vanity, guilt, and vengeance. Regardless of how it is done, liberalism often disguises its true political aims. Comparing even those political tactics to more nefarious holiday hustles could be useful. A growing fraud is the non-delivery scam. According to the FBI, this is “where you pay for goods or services … but you never receive the items.”...

We are shocked! The normally august Audie Cornish didn't go full Scarborough—someone known to drop f-bombs. Still, it was surprising to hear Cornish, the mannerly host of CNN This Morning, utter something out of character today. Mike Dubke, who served as White House Communications Director for three months during the first Trump term, suggested that one thing protecting Pete Hegseth from being fired is the difficulty that would be involved in the confirmation process for a replacement. Responded Cornish: "So, this is not a military term, but you're saying they're SOL. Basically, there's no other options out there." Get the...

Ruh-roh. Sounds like trouble in Democrat Land. Seems Josh Shapiro caught wind of some things Kamala Harris wrote about him in her memoir, things he considers LIES. --SNIP-- Harris wrote that the governor wanted to be “in the room for every decision” if she became president, adding that he often hijacked conversations and frequently needed to be told he wouldn’t have equal power.

Our entire safety net is designed to catch people at the very bottom, but it sets a trap for anyone trying to climb out. As income rises from $40,000 to $100,000, benefits disappear faster than wages increase. I call this The Valley of Death. Let’s look at the transition for a family in New Jersey: 1. The View from $35,000 (The “Official” Poor) At this income, the family is struggling, but the state provides a floor. They qualify for Medicaid (free healthcare). They receive SNAP (food stamps). They receive heavy childcare subsidies. Their deficits are real, but capped. Every dollar...

Ms. Bondi has just stated that the current Administration would like to restore faith in the FBI. She also said the pipe bomber evidence had been gathering dust. Kudos to Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, and the fine forensic work of the FBI! Since it has taken 5 years to solve this case, please post the questions you would like to see answered in your lifetime, here, regarding this case.

Explanation: An example of violence on a cosmic scale, enormous elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 lies about 75 million light-years away toward Fornax, the southern constellation of the Furnace. Investigating the startling sight, astronomers suspect the giant galaxy of colliding with smaller neighbor NGC 1317 seen just right of the large galaxy's center, producing far flung star streams in loops and shells. Light from their close encounter would have reached Earth some 100 million years ago. In the sharp telescopic image, the central regions of NGC 1316 and NGC 1317 appear separated by over 100,000 light-years. Complex dust lanes visible within...

Imagine drinking so much that you pass out on your couch, only to wake up in the morning and learn that a woman has accused you of sexually assaulting her while you were unconscious, and that an online mob is after you. That was the fate of an Oswego, New York man on October 11, after Olivia Henderson, a 23-year-old DoorDash driver in Oswego, delivered a food order to his residence on East Bridge St. The customer had selected the “leave at door” option in the DoorDash app, but upon arrival at around 11:15 p.m., Henderson claimed to have found...

Nearly 15 years later, Detroit finally has its statue of RoboCop. The bronze statue depicting the eponymous cybernetic star of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 set-in-Detroit sci-fi satire was installed in Eastern Market on Wednesday, nearly 15 years after someone proposed it in a viral social media post. Back in 2011, someone with the Twitter account @MT (no, not us) tweeted at then-Mayor Dave Bing that Detroit should have a statue of the part-man, part-machine cop because “Philadelphia has a statue of Rocky & RoboCop would kick Rocky’s butt.” “He’s a GREAT ambassador for Detroit,” the tweet continued. The idea got...

The American left doesn’t look at the United Kingdom and see a cautionary tale, it sees a template to follow.It’s easy to look at a collapsing civil society in a foreign country and comfort ourselves that, despite all our problems, we’re not as bad off as those people. Americans are especially apt to do this with our cousins in Great Britain, whose country is now in a state of precipitous and probably irreversible decline, and whose political leadership is openly hostile to the native population. But it’s a mistake to comfort ourselves this way, partly because the corruption of a...

Families who lost loved ones in the 2019 crash of a Boeing 737 MAX 8 jet said on November 6, through counsel, that they intend to file an expedited writ of mandamus to appeal the decision of a federal judge in Fort Worth, Texas, dismissing the criminal conspiracy charge against Boeing for the crashes that killed 346 people seven years ago. The families had argued before U.S. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor that the Department of Justice’s proposed non-prosecution agreement violated the judicial review provisions of the federal rules by preemptively agreeing not to prosecute Boeing even before Judge O’Connor...

She said that after she was forcibly slapped, her attacker pulled her hair, and she fell to the ground. Lewis said she watched the suspect run away as onlookers helped her off the ground and checked to make sure she was okay. 'That was honestly the scariest experience of my life,' she said in the video. 'If you're by campus and you're by this tall white guy, a homeless-looking guy with a beard, and sweats or something, please report him and be careful,' Lewis warned her classmates.

What good is an amendment saying we have the right to bear arms if I can't go house to house firing buckshot into every inflatable Christmas minion I see? Look, I don't have to spend my evenings driving around the neighborhood in my 2003 Silverado, shooting high-powered ammunition into inflatable Grinches. I do it as a service to my community. I'm just an everyday, red-blooded American, trying to do his part to rid the world of these abominations. Putting up inflatables to decorate for Christmas is like celebrating your anniversary by kissing your sister. It's gross, and it doesn't...

What’s Actually Happening Most of you already know what’s going on, but just in case you don’t: under the current rules, a government agency has to perform a security audit on DJI. If they don’t complete one by December 23rd, DJI automatically gets placed on the FCC’s Covered List. The truth is, no agency wants to be the one to step forward and take on that responsibility. There’s no incentive. There’s actually political risk. There’s liability. So the most likely scenario is that no audit is going to happen and DJI gets listed by default. It’s an underhanded way to...

Explanation: Where do comet tails come from? There are usually no obvious places on the nuclei of comets from which the jets that create comet tails emanate. One of the best images of emerging jets is shown in the featured picture, taken in 2015 by ESA's robotic Rosetta spacecraft that orbited Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (Comet CG) from 2014 to 2016. The picture shows plumes of gas and dust escaping numerous places from Comet CG's nucleus as it neared the Sun and heated up. The comet has two prominent lobes, the larger one spanning about 4 kilometers, and a smaller 2.5-kilometer lobe...
