Matt Nelson said in a video he uploaded to YouTube before arriving at the location that he was about to engage in an “extreme act of protest” due to “the ongoing genocide in Gaza.” Nelson’s identity and motive were not immediately apparent following the incident, which took place Wednesday evening.

@glennbeck So, the FBI held onto video evidence for DECADES showing that Saudi Arabia may have helped plan 9/11. Why release it NOW? Does this have anything to do with Saudi Arabia’s threat to end the petrodollar? Did the United States just threaten global war?

NATO is drawing up plans to send American troops to the frontlines of Europe in the event of an all-out conflict with Russia, it has been revealed. New 'land corridors' are being carved out to quickly funnel soldiers through central Europe without local bureaucratic impediments, allowing NATO forces to pounce in an instant should Putin's devastating war in Ukraine move further west. The plans are said to include contingencies in case of Russian bombardment, letting troops sweep into the Balkans via corridors in Italy, Greece and Turkey, or towards Russia's northern border via Scandinavia, officials told The Telegraph. Tensions have...

Gas and oil pipeline flows to Europe have plummeted by more than eighty percent since 2022, with the state energy company Gazprom taking a US$6.9billion (£5.4billion) hit to its finances.

“Millions” could die in Ukraine’s war with Russia if US lawmakers don’t approve President Joe Biden’s $60 billion aid request for Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN on Sunday. Asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about a claim made by the US Senator J.D. Vance that the outcome of the war would not change even if Ukraine receives the money, Zelensky said he wasn’t sure Vance “understands what is going on here.” “To understand it is to come to the front line to see what’s going on, to speak with the people, then to go to civilians to understand …...

Steve Bannon was fuming on his podcast today after the George Santos expulsion. He blames Fox News, Kevin McCarthy, and their GOP establishment allies of intentionally trying to sabotage Speaker Johnson and the MAGA wing of the party by giving away their slim majority to stop their right-wing agenda. "This is McCarthy screwing MAGA to jam up Mike Johnson. This is 100% McCarthy and his acolytes trying to make our job even tougher and take away our majority. This is Fox News, everything. This is the apparatus saying, 'we are going to shut down the ability to make massive cuts...

Last week I warned that 2024 is literally the pivotal year in the history of the United States of America. Because if Trump doesn’t win, we are facing one party rule, the end of the Republican Party, the end of capitalism, the end of America as we know it. If President Trump doesn’t win in 2024, there will never be another Republican President. Anyone who doesn’t understand this, is blind, deaf and very dumb. But the real contention of this commentary is… if Trump loses in 2024, I strongly believe he will be the last Republican – period. Because being...

We are facing the end of the GOP. We are facing the reality that if former President Donald Trump doesn't win in 2024, there will never be another Republican president. That's not a possibility, it's a certainty. But it's much worse than that. With Democrats in full control of power, there will never be a Republican again. PERIOD. With one-party rule... and the weaponization of government in full force... and censorship of dissent by media and social media in full force; with free speech being criminalized (as it is now versus Trump) against all Americans... with no opposition to communist...
