“OK, COME TO ISLAND, RANCH, LETS PLAY,” said Jeffery Epstein to Reid Hoffman. No wonder Reid Hoffman was scared to death for the Epstein files to come out and funding lawsuits against President Trump.

In a New York Times opinion piece in August, Canadian writer Stephen Marche wrote: “Canada is living through an era of acute, sustained, profound and abiding rage. The source is President Trump; the object is the United States.” The month before, he launched an eight-part podcast series on Canada’s freshly fraught relationship with what had been its forever friendly neighbor, the United States. The name of the podcast series: Gloves Off. Hockey term. Of course. Once arm in arm, the two countries now are squaring off politically, economically—and on the ice. The modern version of their hockey rivalry was spiced...

Protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a small Oregon city turned violent on Friday night, prompting President Donald Trump to threaten to send more manpower to protect federal property around the country. The protest in Eugene, a city roughly 110 miles south of Portland, was part of yesterday's 'National Shutdown,' meant to be a nationwide rallying cry to demand ICE leave cities. In Eugene, protesters gathered outside a federal building at around noon, with many of them holding signs showing their distaste for the Trump administration's immigration enforcement strategies. As day turned into night, federal officers began intermittently deploying...

Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.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...

I had no idea who Ben Bankas was until I heard that all of his sold-out stand-up comedy shows in Minnesota were abruptly canceled. So I had to do a little digging. The internet tells me that he's originally from Toronto, but now based in Austin, Texas, and he has a podcast that's pretty popular, as well as a solid, cult-like following. He regularly sells out shows in the United States, Canada, and Europe. I took a look at his social media pages, and he's actually pretty funny. His humor is dark, just the way I like it, and he's...

Those who think the Bible is just a heap of moral platitudes and ancient religious practices are surprised to learn that the Bible does say something about rioting, reveling, and rebellion. Let’s look. “Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.” (Ro 13:13) The First Amendment and free speech were once used to produce something good, to make positive changes in the nation. That day seems to have slipped away, along with a lot of other powerful, foundational measures. One lesson the Bible teaches us...

Sometimes momentum counts for more than we imagine in creative careers. James Stewart, Hitchcock's preferred leading man during much of this period, had started the decade with a series of westerns directed by Anthony Mann (Winchester '73, Bend of the River, The Naked Spur, The Far Country, The Man from Laramie) that have passed the test of time as genre classics. And nothing becomes an American legend more than playing legendary Americans like Glenn Miller (The Glenn Miller Story) and Charles Lindbergh (The Spirit of St. Louis). But the secret weapon would turn out to be Stewart's leading lady in...

Far-left anti-ICE agitator Maria Santay livestreamed her arrest as she impeded an ICE operation in Southern California on Friday. Santay, who is associated with the far-left group “ICE Out of LA,” livestreamed the arrest from a Chevron gas station in El Monte, California. She joined a group of far-left agitators at the gas station who were blowing whistles and ringing cowbells at federal agents. “Don’t shoot at my window! What the ****!” Santay shouted as federal agents surrounded her vehicle. “Lord protect me please!” Santy shouted as she mustered up fake tears for her social media followers. “These guys are...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a surprise choice to succeed Jerome Powell when his term expired in the spring, President Donald Trump nominated an unknown Spanish economist named Ronaldo Paulino as chairman of the Federal Reserve. According to administration insiders, Trump made the choice after a brief meeting with Paulino at the White House, from which he came away impressed with Paulino's knowledge of the Fed's history and ideas for its future. "He knew a lot about the Fed for being a foreigner," Trump later told reporters after announcing the nomination. "He's also got a very nice mustache, I must say....

U.S. — Self-proclaimed journalist Don Lemon was arrested on Friday for allegedly raiding a church service and intimidating its congregation, prompting experts to warn that such actions taken by the DOJ could be a slippery slope that leads to arresting politicians and other people who deserve it. "This is an outrage," sociological analyst Kelvin Grimp said. "If we start enforcing laws, elected officials and other criminals could be in really big trouble." According to sources, approximately 99% of the U.S. Congress and up to half of the nation's governors would be behind bars if America were to continue down this...

At first glance, Amelia, with her purple bob and pixie-girl looks, seems an unlikely candidate for the far right to adopt as an increasingly popular meme. Yet, for the past few weeks, memes and AI-generated videos featuring this fictional British teenager have proliferated across social media, especially on X. In them, Amelia parrots right-wing, often racist, talking points, connecting her celebration of stereotypical British culture with anti-migrant and Islamophobic tropes. She sips pints in pubs, reads “Harry Potter” and goes back in time to fight in some of Britain’s most famous battles. But she also dons an ICE uniform to...

Pivotal’s eVTOL aircraft dubbed Helix is available to order online for $190,000, with deliveries expected within a year.

A woman claimed she was sexually assaulted by disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein in Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion – while Jay-Z was also allegedly there, according to a chilling document released by the US Department of Justice. The alleged incident happened in 1996, when the victim – whose name was redacted – said she was “abducted” from her home by a stranger, according to an FBI intake form dated July 2019. She “later awoke in the presence of Harvey Weinstein and Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) while Weinstein had inserted his fingers into [redacted],” according to the unsubstantiated allegatio

With some sympathy, I have been contemplating the sorry lot of anti-ICE activists in a non-sanctuary state with a government rated as the least corrupt in the nation. Braving near Minnesota temperatures, a half dozen Mesozoic creatures stood out in the latte town of Exeter Sunday morning, holding “ICE = GESTAPO” and “TRUMP = HITLER” signs. Upon the recommendation of a friend in law enforcement, I did not go join them, without identification and carrying a loaded 9 millimeter with extra magazines. In Minnesota, youthful members of Antifa and Democratic Socialists of America man the barricades, but here in New...

A Virginia Commonwealth University nurse recently instructed her TikTok followers to contaminate ICE agents’ food or render them lethally paralyzed. She did this through a series of social media posts, calmly and with a little smirk on her face. If people can no longer trust nurses or food service personnel, the economy will eventually crash and the country will come apart. A Miami nurse recently allegedly put up a Facebook post stating: “I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for [Make America Great Again]. It is my right, it is my ethical oath, and I stand behind...

A Florida couple claims a fertility clinic error led to the birth of a “non-Caucasian child” who was not biologically theirs, according to a lawsuit. Tiffany Score and Steven Mills allege that Orlando fertility clinic IVF Life, Inc., and its head reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Milton McNichol, implanted another patient’s embryo in Score’s uterus in April 2025, the Orlando Sentinel reported on Thursday. In 2020, Score and Mills stored three viable embryos at the clinic — which boasts about its “advanced fertility care” and “cutting-edge technology” — for in vitro fertilization, a process that creates embryos and stores them until...
