The violent deaths linked to the group known as Zizians stopped at six a year ago, after a U.S. border agent was killed and three members were arrested on trespassing and gun charges in the woods of western Maryland. Seven of the group’s members are jailed in three states, all awaiting trial.

Most hard core liberals, especially in the media, take it as a matter of absolute faith that President Donald Trump is the puppet of Russian president Vladimir Putin. However, an article published in a very surprising source has shattered that myth. The Atlantic magazine, yes that Democrat-loving periodical, published an article on Friday that destroyed that notion. And the two authors of the piece can't be written off as ill informed. Both Thomas Graham and Alan Cullison are members of the Council on Foreign Relations. In addition, Graham is the author of "Getting Russia Right" and Cullison was a former...

The film begins 20 days before the Inauguration of President Donald Trump’s second term, from the viewpoint of his wife, Melania Trump. Melania is in charge of organizing the Inaugural events scheduled for January 20th, 2025, and is deeply involved in everything from the party invitations to the décor of the ballrooms; from her own personal wardrobe, to the layouts and presentations of each ceremonial moment, Melania has a hand in making all of it come together.

Remember how for years liberals kept repeating that illegal aliens don't take away jobs from American citizens because many of them are just working in jobs that Americans don't want to do? Well, a major news outlet has now completely contradicted that assertion. And the source isn't who you might think because it is none other than the Associated Press.The admission that removing illegals from the USA has the effect of lowering the unemployment rate came at the tail end of this AP story on Wednesday by Paul Wiseman about the glowing January jobs report, "Surge of 130,000 US hires...

So what does a 2,400-year-old wooden bird that once flew have to do with us today? The answer is more than one might expect.The vision of Archytas fundamentally shaped our world by proving that mechanics is a creative force that could drive humanity forward. He founded the field of mathematical mechanics, bridging the gap between abstract theory and real-world applications through tangible inventions. That ancient pigeon, described by the Roman writer Aulus Gellius as being propelled by a jet of steam, was the ancestor of every modern engine, drone, and robot.Although this may sound like an exaggeration, it truly is...

DANGER: ICE Losing Support - Trump Must DO THIS NOW!

Meet Politico's Supervillains of the TDS Universe. Artist Natalia Delgado provided us with a rendering of the sheer villainy of a howling mad J.D. Vance, whose angry piercing gaze seems about to burn the hearts out of sensitive Georgetown liberals whose world has been turned upside down in the wake of the 2024 election.Behind Vance, staring ominously out at the world, is the spooky Big Brother hypnotic glare of the unholiest of all unholy supervillains, none other than Orange Man Bad. Who, oh who, can combat the overwhelming power of the MAGA supervillains? Fortunately, Politico reporter Gregory Svirnovskiy on Thursday...

I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating my cereal, and I remember thinking "wow, you're ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career." ---Derek ZoolanderDid the Gavin Newsom campaign think it was a good idea to turn to Vogue magazine for a glowing profile piece as perhaps a desperate attempt to counter the disastrous Atlantic magazine story that recently blasted the California governor who has 2028 presidential aspirations?Whoever that campaign person was could be finding his (or her) job currently at risk due to the hilarious blowback that resulted from the glam paean...

Few things better exemplify the inability of the left to tolerate contrary viewpoints than the recent struggle session framed as an "Internal Town Hall" when CNN CEO Mark Thompson was confronted by leftist staffers who claimed they were offended by the existence on their network of conservative commentator Scott Jennings.It seems they agreed with recent NewsNight guest Cameron Kasky, who arrogantly declared to Jennings that he was somehow not permitted to use the term "illegal alien" despite the fact it is a legal term written into immigration law.

"Trump, like Clinton, has not been implicated of wrongdoing, and the president has said he had a falling out with Epstein years ago."And with that brief observation by Politico on Friday by Hailey Fuchs in "DOJ announces full release of Epstein files," all their absurdly frenetic efforts last year to somehow implicate President Donald Trump via the Jeffrey Epstein files look like they came up empty. Millions of the Epstein files were released and as Politico sadly conceded, Trump was not implicated of wrongdoing (although for Clinton that might not be the case due to the Clintons refusing to testify...

Before the recent predatory killing of a woman in Colorado by a mountain lion, there were a number of warning events. Kristen Marie Kovatch was killed by a mountain lion on January 1 in Larimer County. According to the Denver Gazette, there were five confrontations with lions in the area from October 28 through December 23. Only one of the incidents involved the killing of a lion that was attacking a dog in the owner’s yard. The Denver Gazette article gleans three lessons from the series of events. The third is a set of recommendations about what to do if...

President Donald Trump is making a huge mistake campaigning on the economy -- an economy that’s projected to have expanded well over four percent at least in the fourth quarter of 2025. At least, that’s the newest hot take being blurted into cyberspace by CNN. CNN Business Senior Writer Allison Morrow, who’s developing quite the reputation for mastering the art of incoherence, published yet another example of brain-dead anti-Trump screeds January 28, “Trump wants to refocus voters’ attention on the economy. He might regret it.” Yes, that's a real headline. So what exactly — pray tell — should Trump talk...

Kristi Noem has been left utterly humiliated as her hard-charging ICE agents were given new rules last night to ignore 'agitators' and only arrest 'criminal' migrants as part of Trump's new deportation agenda. *** Trump appointed Homan to take command of immigration enforcement in Minnesota. Homan is a longtime rival of Noem and her rumored lover, Corey Lewandowski. [Ed. note: gratuitous, superfluous] 'This is common sense cooperation that allows us to draw down the number of people we have here. Yes, I said it. Draw down the number of people here,' Homan told reporters.New guidance for ICE directs agents to...

Back in 2016, I, along with a lot of people, made the argument that that election was critical to the future of the country. It was and America made the right choice. I made the same argument in 2020 and while America made the right choice the Democrats ran a coup d'état and we suffered through four years of watching whoever was controlling Joe Biden basically run the country into the ground. Then, two years ago I made the same argument, that basically, if America made the wrong choice the Republic was going to soon find its end. Thankfully America...

The Doomsday Clock, which has been ticking down to the end of the world for decades, is now officially closer to annihilation than ever before. On Tuesday, scientists with the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the symbolic clock four seconds forward to 85 seconds to midnight. It's also the closest the clock has ever been to midnight in its 79-year history, meaning experts believe humanity has never faced a more dire threat of a world-ending catastrophe than it does in 2026. The group, which decides where the hands are set annually, cited multiple threats to global stability, including nuclear weapons,...

Few things better illustrate the laughably absurd levels of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has infected Politico than the accompanying screenshot (as of this writing) of three Politico magazine stories featured on the front page of that biased periodical.The screenshot reveals a trifecta of magazine stories reflecting negatively on President Donald Trump, "Trump’s Greenland Gambit Has Broken Brains Across Washington," "Europe Could Kick Trump Where It Hurts: The World Cup," and "‘They Have This Combination of Grandiosity, Narcissism and Sociopathy’."You don't have to go much further beyond the title of the first Politico Magazine story to see it is the work...

These days, Republicans are pursuing a seamless garment of big government, from police-state immigration tactics to their interventionist economic policies. With both parties now hostile to limited government, Americans can only expect civic life to get worse rather than better.
