Speaking with Tommy Vietor on the “Pod Save America” political podcast, released on Monday night, Platner, 41, confirmed the existence of the tattoo, seen in video he shared displaying his bare chest, but suggested that his opponents in the race have been spreading claims that the symbol is affiliated with Nazism, which he forcefully denied. “I am not...

Louisiana Gov. Huey Long, Democrat and Depression-era populist, predicted in 1935, “When fascism comes to America, it will come under the guise of anti-fascism.” This prophecy is coming true before our eyes. This year, Democrats are calling everyone who disagrees with them a Nazi or a fascist while facilitating evil. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz charges that President Trump is “a fascist to his core.” Former Vice President Kamala Harris agrees. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the silver-tongued Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who calls Mr. Trump a “Temu Hitler,” are among the Democrats who have twisted reality to reach...

ATLANTA — Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been subpoenaed by the Department of Justice for records related to her travel history, the New York Times is reporting.

Channel 2 Action News has reached out to Willis’ office, and their spokesman, Jeff DeSantis, said, “We have no comment beyond the fact we have no knowledge of any investigation.” [snip] After several appeals, the...

Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended indefinitely by ABC last week. Executives yanked the program off the air on September 17. Three days later, a local ABC station was fired upon. You’re not going to hear about it, especially after the suspect has been identified. His name is Anibal Hernandez Santana. So, not a white guy. The kicker is he’s also vehemently anti-Trump. A Sacramento man was freed on bail after allegedly shooting into ABC10’s lobby — only to be quickly picked up by the FBI, according to authorities. The FBI took Anibal Hernandez Santana, 64, into custody Saturday on charges...

...Following President Abraham Lincoln's assassination on April 15, 1865, President Andrew Johnson rescinded Field Order 15 and returned to Confederate owners the 400,000 acres of land—“a strip of coastline stretching from Charleston, South Carolina to the St. John’s River in Florida, including Georgia’s Sea Islands and the mainland 30 miles in from the coast.” Roy L. Brooks, a distinguished professor of law at the University of San Diego School of Law, described Johnson as a segregationist “who wanted to basically return African Americans to a position of subordination.” Without land of their own to work, the 3.9 million members of...

The news traveled quickly — not just through traditional media channels, but across the virtual corridors of Twitter, where an entirely different story was unfolding. The suspect’s name is Tyler Robinson. He’s 22 years old. A local. A gun owner. A practicing Christian. A self-identified conservative and registered Republican. And...

I am not really a fan of Elon Musk however; I can find nothing that I object or disagree with in his diatribe that Musk shares. I must give credit when credit is deserved. It was posted 8 days ago, and watching it I think you will understand why I mention this fact, as he mentions political violence in his illuminating well thought out message. He is spot on with his analysis. It's a 24.5-minute video that is well worth the time to watch: Elon Musk Explains Why Democrats’ Hidden Agenda Will Destroy America

They Killed Charlie Kirk Luke 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. We are all Charlie Kirk now. They would rather kill us than debate us. You may have murdered a messenger who had a beautiful family, but you did not kill this freedom movement sweeping the young people around the world. You Democrats may have killed another Christian who loved the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior, you did not kill every Christian in the world who loves Jesus. You just...

Laura Lee Yourex, 62, of Costa Mesa, was charged with five felonies last week as she registered her dog, Maya, to vote in the 2021 gubernatorial recall election and the 2022 primary election, Orange County District Attorney prosecutors said. "The dog's vote was successfully counted in the 2021 gubernatorial recall election but was rejected in the 2022...

Throughout history, starting and then losing unprovoked wars has been a reliable way for dictators to forfeit their grip on power, either at the vengeful hands of the countries they targeted, via palace coups by disgruntled elites or occasionally even through uprisings by ordinary citizens weary of making sacrifices for a tyrant's deadly delusions. Within days of losing the Falklands Islands War to the United Kingdom in 1982, Argentina's General Leopoldo Galtieri, the leader of the embattled military junta that had launched the war to head off popular demands for new elections, resigned his office and started the process of...

Rob Sand is a gun-toting Christian from rural Iowa who goes deer hunting, drives a white Ford F-150 pickup, and opens speeches by quoting the Bible. He is also a rising Democratic star whose run for governor is spooking Republicans in the ruby red state. The father of two, 43, is the only Democrat to currently hold statewide office in Iowa and could hold the recipe for winning over voters in pro-Trump states.

Top Dem donor and Gavin Newsom backer raised $300 million by touting "Corporate ESG Business" based on fake revenue.Joe Sanberg, a top California Democrat activist who decried the corruption of big Wall Street banks and started a company marketed as the “cleaner” alternative, actually propped that company up through blatant fraud, he admitted Thursday.

Its motto was “clean rich is the new filthy rich.” It was once a star of the “environmental, social, and...

According to the bodycam footage obtained by Nicole Solas, Hogan...
