Today, Michael Whatley was endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber endorsed Whatley because they know he is the Pro-Job-Creator candidate who will support policies that help create more and better jobs and more and better opportunities for all North Carolinians. Under Roy Cooper’s reign, he was consistently against North Carolina job creators. From vetoing tax relief; forcing an impractical Green New Deal energy agenda that raised costs; to closing businesses during COVID; Cooper stood against our job creators every step of the way. The Chamber endorsement demonstrates that job creators across North Carolina know Michael Whatley is...

ITHACA, NY — Immediately following her appointment as a special prosecutor to investigate the alleged sexual assault of a female student, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that she was indicting President Donald Trump in the Cornell case. Fierce debate swirled on social media about the case, but James said she determined almost instantly upon joining the investigation that Trump was the one who was ultimately responsible for the incident. "I know he's to blame somehow," James told the media when announcing the indictment. "Though he was not present at the time of the incident, has no connection...

A New Jersey student claims he was branded a “racist” and forced to drop an online course after his woke community college professor spotted a “Trump 2020” flag hanging on his wall during a Zoom call. Justin Caiazzo, 29, is suing Passaic County Community College, business professor Gladys Harris and dean Peter Hynes, arguing his First Amendment rights were violated during a July 2021 online class. Caiazzo, of Lake Hiawatha, was blindsided when Harris allegedly stopped her business statistics class after spotting the Trump banner in his background, according to the Sept. 23 complaint filed in New Jersey Superior Court....

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for years has publicly said he’s a physician — but there’s overwhelming evidence that he’s had no experience as a licensed medical doctor. This April, he gave an interview to a local TV journalist where he talked up his credentials as a physician multiple times. In March, he told a group of Teamsters nurses that he had “been in enough codes to watch who really does the work” and said that same month on a podcast that “I’ve been a doctor my whole career.” His LinkedIn profile currently says he’s a “physician,” and late...

Most MSM is saying these are "student riots", but it is the muslims. Like usual. Video at source link.

Let's check in on our "devout Catholic" former president, and see how well he's Catholic-ing today. Last week at a gala in Delaware, Biden spoke (mumbled) for 20 minutes, telling the abortion fanatics that this is "no time to give up" in the fight to kill as many babies in the womb as possible. Biden delivered remarks at Planned Parenthood of Delaware's 22nd Annual Chocolate & Champagne Gala in Claymont, Delaware, on Thursday. Before the former president spoke, former first lady Jill Biden presented her husband with the Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award.According to a Facebook post by Delaware Planned...

An animal welfare group has been administering nasal naloxone to crows that are suspected to have eaten toxic drugs left accessible outside in downtown Prince George, B.C. The Good Caws Crow Rescue Society (GCCRS) has posted multiple videos showing their volunteers giving nasal naloxone to crows that are otherwise unresponsive. The videos then show the crows alert and able to fly again. Naloxone is a medication commonly used to reverse or reduce the impact of an opioid overdose in people, and Dayna Slater of GCCRS says the crows they are helping are centred in an area of town where illicit...

Authorities are searching for a jet after it lost contact with air traffic control early Saturday morning. It is being reported that the aircraft in question is a medical transport plane. According to the United States Coast Guard, the FAA notified them that they lost contact with the Gulfstream “early Saturday morning.” There were six passengers onboard, USCG confirmed at 3:15 a.m. Saturday. The Coast Guard’s Northeast District stated about 20 minutes later that the Gulfstream G100, with the tail number #C-GRJP, was flying from Bermuda International Airport to Boston Logan International Airport when it disappeared off the coast of...

The Democrat Party is co-opting its socialist insurgents to defeat Trump and the GOP—but inviting ideological extremists into the fold could threaten the party’s future. This is the final installment of a two-part series. The first installment can be found here. Like Germany’s center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), America’s center-left Democrat Party faces a challenge from its extreme flank. Unlike the CDU, which has abandoned its past strategy and adopted one of confrontation, the Democrat Party is sticking with its strategy of co-option—not fusion—with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). But will the Democrat Party’s strategy prove any more successful...

Cmdr. James Gennari kept Perez breathing while Army EOD Staff Sgt. Ben Summerfield pulled the rocket free. Perez...

Vance has said he will wait until after the midterms before deciding whether to run in 2028. Vance declined to speculate about whether a poor Republican showing could discourage him from running.

How the British people gave up their own country, their future, and the narrative of their past. The Thames and the Tower of London (Samuel Scott, 1771). With intellectual clarity and courage, Soviet-born British podcaster Konstantin Kisin has challenged the common claim that Britain has always experienced high-volume immigration and is inherently a “nation of immigrants.” He notes that the post-1066 Norman conquest added only 5,000–10,000 individuals from mainland Europe to the ruling class—a number that pales, both numerically and proportionally, next to modern net migration figures running in the hundreds of thousands annually. The unprecedented transformation of Britain’s demographic...

The FBI shared new information Friday pertaining to President Donald Trump's would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, releasing text messages he shared with an unidentified person related to a 3D printer he used to build a firearm.

An attendee at the rally was killed while attempting to shield his family. Crooks, who fired...

Jordan Domingue, a top staffer who worked two of Abdul El-Sayed’s campaigns has quit the Democrat’s U.S. Senate race and is now talking. What he describes is a candidate who has faked his way through public life, right down to the “physician” title. This is a lengthy article, but every American needs to understand, from an insiders perspective, how dangerous this man would be if elected to the U.S. Senate.In a post on X, Jordan Domingue outlines his decision to defect from Abdul’s campaign after working first on his failed gubernatorial campaign and again on his current Senate campaign.“His foreign...

The midterm elections are a month away, and I would like to ask a favor: Please make sure that you vote. Please encourage your friends and family to vote. We need all the help that we can get. Perhaps you feel that voting is a useless exercise that exists to legitimize bad outcomes — a way of forcing citizens to accept responsibility for things they did not do. “You get the government you vote for,” we often hear, but that’s not exactly true. Unelected bureaucrats and judges from unaccountable agencies and Constitution-subverting courts give us a lot of government that...
