    Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see. 3038 Mar 12, 2019 2:55:14 PM EDTQ !!mG7VJxZNCI ID: 4fe510 No. 5643022>Decide for yourself (be free from outside opinion).>Decide for yourself (be objective in your conclusions).>Decide for yourself (be true in your own beliefs).>Decide for yourself (be open to following the facts).>Decide for yourself (be strong in defending your beliefs).>Decide for yourself (be resistant...
  • Why Did Japan Send Its Navy To British Malta In 1917? [13:33]

    The Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902 had bound the two island empires together against a common rival, but it was the German U-boat war that finally brought the Imperial Japanese Navy to the Mediterranean. As Royal Navy escorts were stretched to breaking point, Britain turned to its ally in the East. Eight Japanese destroyers, commanded by Admiral Soto Kozo, sailed for Malta -- and over the months that followed, they escorted nearly eight hundred troopships through submarine-infested waters and clashed with enemy submarines on more than thirty occasions.

    Three Steps in the Dark (1953) is a British whodunit mystery that plunges viewers into a chilling country‑house murder where family secrets, betrayal, and intrigue collide.

Set in the shadowed halls of an English estate, this atmospheric crime thriller unfolds with moody interiors, whispered motives, and a complex cast of heirs and suspects. As tension mounts toward a surprising revelation, the film captures the timeless appeal of an Agatha Christie‑style mystery rooted in suspicion, deception, and psychological suspense. Three...

  • While American blacks worship Africa, many Africans have disdain for American blacks

    American Thinker ^ | 8/30/2026 | Andrea Widburg
    The disconnect between American blacks and Africa is profound, and it stunts their cultural development. A powerful strand of American black culture romanticizes Africa as an ancestral homeland, even though Africans themselves played an indispensable role in selling other Africans into slavery. At the same time, many African immigrants look with disdain on the ghetto culture that developed in parts of black America during the second half of the 20th century. And then there is the strangest irony of all: While some Africans reject that culture, others eagerly imitate it. There’s a lot to unpack here. The Atlantic slave trade...

    If you like snacking on cheddar or grating Parm over your pasta because they’re delicious, it might surprise you to learn that they also can help you reach your protein goals. Because they’re made from milk, all cheeses contain casein and whey proteins that make them a good source of protein.While they might not be as protein-dense as some dairy sources like Greek yogurt or other protein-containing foods like chicken and beef, “the protein sources in cheese provide all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein food,” says Giana DiMaria, a registered dietitian and instructor of medicine at...

    NEW YORK CITY, NY — Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the installation of a Muslim foot-washing station at the base of the 9/11 Memorial in preparation for marking the 25th anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks. Mamdani stated that the addition was long overdue, as Muslims repeatedly lodged complaints about not feeling properly accommodated at the site where thousands perished. "So far, the 9/11 Memorial has been a total failure, with systemic exclusion built into its very bricks," said Mamdani. "How can you celebrate — I mean, solemnly observe — 9/11 properly without humbly obliging the religion that propagated these...

    family’s beloved pet donkey was shot and killed by Georgia cops after the tiny ass allegedly confronted them when they ran through his pasture. Hannah Israel, 30, said officers entered the family’s property in Cedartown — near the Alabama border — without notice at about 12:45 a.m. while chasing a suspect when they came across HeeHaw. “They claimed he ran up to them braying and they thought they were in danger and shot and killed him after trying to Taze him,” Israel wrote on Facebook "HeeHaw was raised in the house and did petting zoos he never knew a stranger,”...

    Theodore Roosevelt was famous for gunboat diplomacy. But Donald Trump's ambassador to Italy has found a rather more luxurious way to win friends: love boat diplomacy. Billionaire entertainment mogul Tilman Fertitta, 69, is wooing foreign officials from the deck of his $450 million mega yacht, the Boardwalk, as he cruises around Italy on a two-and-a-half-month 'Coastal Diplomatic Tour.' The 383ft vessel boasts two helipads, two swimming pools, four hot tubs, a fully equipped spa, scuba room, putting green and cinema, with business tycoons and sports personalities rubbing shoulders with government officials at lavish receptions. Fertitta, the world's 312th-richest person according...
  • Mass circumcision ceremonies leave 43 boys dead and dozens more mutilated in South Africa

    Mass circumcision ceremonies in South Africa have left more than 43 boys dead and dozens more mutilated. The rituals – known in the country as ‘Ulwaluko’ – are carried out twice a year at initiation schools with the intention of preparing young men for adulthood. When the youngsters arrive, they are taken away from their families and smothered in white clay. They then spend three weeks transitioning from boys to men before being returned home. As part of the ceremony, the initiates are meant to be circumcised by traditional surgeons who have years of experience. But many circumcisions are instead...
  • Astronomy Picture of the Day - Launch of the Roman Space Telescope

    NASA ^ | 31 Aug, 2026 | Video Credit: NASA
    Explanation: A new telescope has been launched into space to study the universe. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (RST) has the same size main mirror as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) but sees 100 times more sky during each snapshot. This is possible because when compared to HST, RST's main mirror is more curved, its secondary mirror is closer, and its main camera is larger. The result is that RST can inspect more of the sky more quickly, likely allowing, among other capabilities, the discovery of many more supernovas which tell us more about the expansion rate and composition...

    Rescuers raced Monday to free hundreds of workers believed to be trapped in tunnels at hydropower sites that were buried in mud by catastrophic flooding on the Nepal-China border, as the death toll climbed and increasingly desperate families searched for missing loved ones. “These tunnels are big enough to drive trucks through,” said Jakob Steiner, a geoscientist at the University of Graz in Austria based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. “And from what we understand, they have managed to get oxygen to some of those stuck inside and are trying to rescue them now. It’s a race for time, though, as people...

    I’ve been on a bit of an anti-woman kick in my writing (see here and here)—not because I actually hate women (I am one), but because I’ve been dealing with a lot of awful women in recent weeks. One such exchange comes to mind, and there’s a point in it I’d like to make. Every summer, I buy a pool membership pass at a local country club because it allows me some suntanning time, and my 8-year-old logs lots of swimming hours. But let me be clear: This is not some fancy-schmancy club—snobby people are not my people. The club...

    All the shopper wanted was to buy a laptop. Instead, a routine trip to a Best Buy turned into a bizarre confrontation over gender, pronouns and whether a customer should be compelled to address a biological male employee as “ma’am.” Video of the encounter shows the Best Buy employee, who presented with a distinctly masculine appearance, objecting after the customer referred to the employee as “sir.” The employee insisted on being addressed as “ma’am.” The customer wasn't having it. His position was straightforward: the person standing in front of him appeared to be a man, and he wasn't going to...
  • Lindsay Clancy Truthers Are The Best Argument For Repealing The 19th Amendment

    The Federalist ^ | August 31, 2026 | Rebeka Zeljko
    [S]uffragettes argued that women possessed the same intellectual capabilities to exercise political judgement as men, and therefore they should be granted the same political privileges as their husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons. Unfortunately for women, Lindsay Clancy truthers are now doing their best to prove those suffragettes wrong. Women’s constitutions and hormonal balances are so precarious, they argue, that women should be exempted from our criminal laws and ruled incapable of making moral judgments. Sounds oddly reminiscent of the “sexist” men they claim to detest. It’s highly unlikely that a majority of women would condone Clancy’s actions, but a nonzero...

She recently appeared on political commentator Roland Martin’s podcast. She says the friction between the Democrat Party and its Democratic Socialists of America members is being spurred on by the ‘white media.’

Whoops! However, that wasn't the only costume Target was forced to pull from its shelves. Here are seven other costumes that got the axe:

    President Donald Trump went to bat for data centers on Monday morning, arguing that communities opposing the warehouses powering artificial intelligence will “end up being backwards and poor.” Data centers have become an increasingly contentious and toxic issue for many Republicans on the campaign trail, especially in key swing states like Ohio and Michigan. “The only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor. If they want to be successful and rich, with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let Data Reign,” Trump...
