Conservative influencer Nick Fuentes, who has refused to endorse Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential campaign, said Friday that the former president's supporters dressing in garbage bags made him realize that "it is a cult." In his Friday night episode of America First, Fuentes referenced Trump's October 30 rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, when the former president climbed into a garbage truck in an effort to play on President Joe Biden's remark from the day before. Biden faced backlash after a clip of his call Tuesday with Voto Latino was circulated online, where he was heard saying, "The only garbage...

I am standing on the floor of an arena in Chicago, waiting for Kamala Harris. It’s been nearly three hours. There are thousands of us squished together, toppling over, jostling, hot, uncomfortable, straining under the lights. Everywhere I look, there are people holding tall “Kamala” signs, shouting, screaming, panting, roaring. Music is pounding. It was like this last night, and the night before, and the night before that: a 96-hour psycho war dance. To get an idea of what has been achieved at this year’s Democratic National Convention — how a party purges itself of one candidate and installs another...

As parties go, this one was glitzy, slick, star-studded and electric. It was also terrifying. By the time Kamala Harris took the stage at the DNC on Thursday evening, we had been told by the Obamas, Oprah, the Clintons, Hollywood and Harris herself that there is no one better to be the next American president, because… After a week of this, I still can't tell you. After a week of the mainstream media insisting the same, I'm at a loss. I doubt I'm alone. We just witnessed not so much a convention as a coronation. This entire production, created to...

A Bold Vision for America’s Future. The Tuesday theme will focus on Democrats’ platform to push America forward. In a press release, party leadership accused former President Donald Trump of believing the country’s best days are behind it, and that he and Sen. JD Vance will implement a “Project 2025 agenda” to pull the country backward. Speakers:The early list is short and will likely updated later today around gavel time. Second gentleman Doug EmhoffIllinois Gov. J.B. PritzkerFormer first lady Michelle ObamaFormer President Barack ObamaProtests... No specific list today, but others beyond yesterday's Islamic Palestinian HAMAS supporters. Schedule:DNC events start at...

The leader of a Kenyan starvation sect went on trial on Monday for manslaughter over the deaths of more than 400 of his followers in one of the world's worst cult-related tragedies. Self-proclaimed pastor Paul Nthenge Mackenzie and dozens of other suspects pleaded not guilty in January to multiple counts of manslaughter, one of several cases against them over what is known as the "Shakahola Forest Massacre". Mackenzie appeared in a magistrate's court in the Indian Ocean port city of Mombasa along with 94 other suspects, prosecutors and court officials said. "There has never been a manslaughter case like this...

If you had told the average person that an anarchist or an airman had set himself on fire to protest Israel’s campaign against Islamic terrorists, you would get two very different reactions. Unsurprisingly the media led with the data point most likely to produce a favorable reaction. And Aaron Bushnell cynically played the same game, wearing (the wrong) uniform to his Hamas suicide attempt rather than the Antifa red in which he had been previously photographed. The Washington Post gets around to admitting that Bushnell was an “anarchist”. Less than two weeks before Aaron Bushnell walked toward the gates of...

House Speaker Emerita Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that some of her Republican colleagues have told her that if Vice President Kamala Harris can defeat Donald Trump, they can get “back to our debate on the issues.” Pelosi said, “Let’s just talk about the glory of Kamala and Tim, the promise that they have put out there, the enthusiasm.” Mitchell said, “You talk about John McCain and talking to him and he gave you a heads-up he was going to vote, the key vote to save The Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, so there used...

Trump knows that Barron has a strange hold on the affections of many of his most hardened supporters. And if there's anything more outlandish than the personality cult that surrounds him, it's the one that is rapidly developing around his youngest child. ... These cherry-picked details helped spawn a bizarre theory – eagerly taken up by pro-Trump tin-foil hatters - that Donald and Barron are time-travellers and that Barron will one day become an all-conquering 'American Caesar'.

A woman wanted in connection with several brutal, gang-related murders in Mexico was recently arrested inside the United States. On February 15, the combined efforts of the FBI Safe Streets Gang Task Force, the El Paso Police Gang Unit, County Sheriff's Narcotics Division, and Border Patrol resulted in victory when agents arrested Mexican fugitive Michelle Angelica Pineda, sometimes referred to as La Chely, in a motel in eastern El Paso, Texas. American and Mexican law enforcement officials believe that Pineda, a Mexican national, crossed the U.S. border illegally as part of a drug-trafficking ring perpetrated by the violent street gang...

The shadow government loves dumb and easily controlled ‘leaders.’ I know the country’s going to hell in a handbasket. Inflation is killing working-class families. Illegal immigrants are raping and murdering little girls. “Woke” corporations are pushing “transgender” madness on young children. Public schools are telling students that they will not survive the “climate apocalypse.” Biden and the build back better buffoons in control of Western governments are doing everything they can to drag us into WWIII. Still, if you are a Trump supporter who believes the status quo must go, Thursday’s presidential debate was awfully fun. Perhaps you couldn’t bring...

Fundamentally transforming a country ain’t easy. Just ask Barry O., who’s been running the show for twelve consecutive years now, yet has still not fully succeeded in turning America into a third world s-hole. Obama’s made some strides in taking down the country he and his wife so fervently despise, but there’s still more work to be done. How does Barry do it, you ask? That’s simple. As one of his lackeys, Jonathan Gruber (no relation to Hans), put it while discussing the passage of Obamacare, Barry relies on “the stupidity of the American voter.” And based on much of...

During his Monday appearance at the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, disgraced former head of the National Institutes of Health Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed that Americans who refused the abortion-tainted COVID shot were likely responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens.

Pope Francis has stated that “deniers of climate change” are “foolish” as they don’t believe “research,” and insisting that “climate change exists.” In comments made to CBS Evening News and aired April 24, the 87-year-old Pontiff decried those whom CBS’s Norah O’Donnell described as “deniers of climate change.” “There are people who are foolish, and foolish even if you show them research, they don’t believe it,” responded Francis. “Why? Because they don’t understand the situation or because of their interest, but climate change exists.”

Planetary warming, also known as climate change, continues to accelerate. The last eight years have been the warmest on global record, which is well-documented, with information dating back to 1850. Additional warming will continue in the years to come, but how much more warming depends on the decisions we make in the coming decades about energy use. For those looking to take individual actions, and in recognition of Earth Day, there are many that are relevant across income levels: 1. Reduce food waste This can be as simple as being sure that food is consumed before it goes bad and...

Donald Trump’s supporters are parroting his persecution complex, leading experts to warn of the dangerous cult of MAGA.

The national antiwar-impeachment group, World Can’t Wait, drew 150 people, representing the range of the city’s cultural milieu, to the San Francisco Main Library’s Koret Auditorium Sunday to “drive out the Bush Regime” and reverse its slide toward what many see as an imperial presidency. The meeting was one of at least 11 such events around the country this month and last, from New York to Los Angeles, mobilizing public sentiment for impeachment, despite the repeated insistence by Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party leadership that the issue is “off the table.” An American Research Group poll last week found...

Anne-Marie Slaughter, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s director of policy planning, now denies she endorsed Today’s Zaman, the flagship newspaper of Fethullah Gülen’s Islamist cult. Here is a google cache record with Prof. Slaughter’s endorsement, and here is the page now, with Professor Slaughter’s endorsement excised. Professor Slaughter denies she made the endorsementThere are two possible explanations: (1) Professor Slaughter is being truthful, and Today’s Zaman simply made it all up. If so, this suggests that the ethics of Zaman and the organization which sponsors it are non-existent. (2) Professor Slaughter asked for the retraction only after learning about Today’s...

A 38-year-old Quebec man has been found guilty for starting a series of devastating forest fires - which lead to hectares worth of damage and displaced hundreds. Brian Paré has plead guilty to staring 14 forest fires, including fires in Chapais and Lake Cavan, at a courthouse in Chibougamau in Quebec. Paré, who has been detained since his arrest, said little during the hearing, only responding 'yes' to a series of questions from the judge. He had been charged 13 counts of arson and one count of arson with disregard for human life. It is unclear if the court has...

During the Iowa battle, Donald Trump Jr, the former President's son was asked an intriguing question whether he would follow father's footsteps and run for the top post and 2028. Trump Jr replied to the voter during the campaign event in Ankney pawing way for speculations. The real estate businessman was present with his fiance Kimberly Guilfoyle. While choosing not to answer the White House run in 2028 question directly, Trump Jr looked in the crowd and probably at Guilfoyle and responded in excitement “Oh God, Hey princess, you ready for this?” "Listen, you never know. I don't want to...
