    Who Is Judy Shelton and Why Does She Matter? Judy Shelton's Background and Expertise Judy Shelton is an economist with decades of experience in monetary policy, particularly in advocating for sound money systems. Her academic and professional work emphasizes constraints on government spending and central bank accountability. Shelton's prominence grew during her consideration for a Federal Reserve Board nomination in 2020, where her unconventional views on gold-backed currency and Fed reform drew attention. She aligns with critiques of the Fed's expansive role in credit markets, arguing that its policies disproportionately benefit financial institutions over ordinary savers. Shelton's Alignment with Trump...

    YouTube ^ | January 10, 2026 | Autentic Documentary [misspelling in original]
    Who were the Celts really? Mythical druids of legend or feared warriors of antiquity? Deep inside the European Alps, sealed salt mines have preserved astonishing evidence of a powerful civilisation that flourished more than 3,000 years ago. These people were neither barbarians nor island dwellers -- they were the rulers of a vast Kingdom of Salt, enriched by one of the most valuable resources of the ancient world. Now, a remarkable discovery raises new questions. Inside a 2,400-year-old Celtic tomb, the remains of an aristocratic woman and two unusually large men are uncovered. Were they relatives, ritual sacrifices, or part...
  • I've Waited 40 Years to Dunk on Phil Collins About This

    The wheels of justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine. In this case, it's been forty years since British establishment-pop workhorse Phil Collins incurred a young Athena's wrath with his band Genesis's mockery of the greatest president (up until then, anyway) of modern times. f you're Gen X like me, your adolescence was happily enhanced by the heyday of old-school MTV. The concept was brand-new then: music videos by the hottest pop stars, 24/7, hosted by the original veejays — Alan Hunter, Nina Blackwood, Martha Quinn, Mark Goodman, and of course, "Triple J" J.J. Jackson. It was innovation, novelty,...

    NY Post ^ | 1/24/26 | Kathianne Boniello, Geoff Earle
    Shots rang out in Minneapolis early Saturday after federal police tried to subdue a man who was waving around a gun, according to law enforcement sources and video posted to social media. A 39-second clip showed about half a dozen cops struggling with someone on the sidewalk in front of a donut shop at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, when the gunfire erupted. The officers appeared to scatter after the shot went off, according to the footage. The shooting happened after the man brandished a firearm with two magazines, a law enforcement source told The Post. In a statement, city...
  • Trump laments to The Post that Schumer is roadblock to DC IndyCar race for America’s 250th: ‘What’s wrong with him?’

    WASHINGTON — President Trump said Friday that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is putting the brakes on his grand plans to hold an IndyCar race in DC to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is pushing for the unusual race around the National Mall in August as Trump seeks out unconventional showcases for America’s leading sporting events. “We can’t get Schumer. Schumer is making it very difficult,” Trump told The Post in an exclusive Oval Office sitdown. “What’s wrong with him? Everybody wants to. Schumer doesn’t because he doesn’t want to see advertising near the Capitol,” the...
  • Bills To Conduct HC Interview With Philip Rivers

    Philip Rivers is set to interview with Buffalo today. Rivers has never worked as a head coach, coordinator or position coach at the pro or college levels. That lack of experience would make a jump directly to the HC ranks in the NFL a risky one. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if a mutual interest exists between the parties once this in-person interview concludes

    Washington Examiner ^ | 23 Jan, 2026 | Kimberly Ross
    One year into President Donald Trump‘s second term, the political temperature around the country is at an all-time high. This is hardly surprising given our sustained and intense polarization. The Democratic Party is still reeling from its November 2024 loss. But what it offered, a substitute candidate who entered the scene at the eleventh hour, had little appeal. Former Vice President Kamala Harris is far more mentally competent than was the diminished Joe Biden. However, she represented something average Americans reject: extremism. There is much to say about the wrong behavior that both parties have displayed in recent years. And...

    Virginia Democrats in the state’s House of Delegates introduced a resolution on Tuesday that would establish a task force to investigate the Virginia Military Institute and determine if the historic military college should continue to receive funding. The move is the latest of Virginia Democrats’ efforts to reinvigorate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy in the state after much of the DEI mandates and policies were revoked after President Donald Trump was elected in 2024.

    Fake leftist scientist Michael Mann. In the never-ending legal battle between fake climate scientist Michael Mann and his critics, Rand Simberg and Mark Steyn, Mann has once again lost badly in an appeal to a higher court, with the Superior Court in DC not only ruling that Mann must immediately pay Simberg and Steyn a total of more than $27K in court costs and fees, but blasting Mann for his lies to the court during the proceedings. The fact remains that Dr. Mann throughout this litigation complained that he suffered lost grant funding directly stemming from the defamatory statements of...

    "No work, no school, no shopping." Anti-ICE efforts continue to ramp up Minneapolis, coordinated by a coalition of socialists, communists, and labor unions. A collection of far-left activist groups — including the Democratic Socialists of America, major labor unions, explicitly Communist groups, and a CCP-linked protest network — have all organized a strike scheduled for Friday which aims to “shut down” schools and businesses statewide in Minnesota in an effort to push ICE out. The planned shutdown was announced early last week — "ICE Out of MN: Day of Truth and Freedom" — include plans for a large-scale march in...

Lafayette police said in a statement Thursday that the five were arrested following an extensive investigation into the shooting of Judge Steven Meyer and his wife, Kimberly. Both victims were in a stable condition following the shooting, which happened around 2:17 p.m. on Jan. 18. The judge was injured on his arm, his wife on her hip.

    Hundreds of businesses in Minnesota are closing Friday to protest the deportation of illegal migrants, as industry experts admit that President Donald Trump’s deportation polices are nudging up wages for their American employees. Vendors, labor unions, and residents said they would be part of the “general strike” against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the New York Times reported Friday. However, it is important to note federal agents have been arresting criminal illegal aliens in the Democrat-run state and elsewhere across the nation to safeguard American communities. The Times article stated: In an email on Thursday, a Department of Homeland...

    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) barred the use of human fetal tissue derived from elective abortions from being used in taxpayer-funded research. “HHS is ending the use of human fetal tissue from elective abortions in agency-funded research and replacing it with gold-standard science,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a statement. “The science supports this shift, the ethics demand it, and we will apply this standard consistently across the Department.” HHS said in its announcement, which was released the same day as the 53rd annual March for Life, that its new policy aligns with...
