Reality is absolutely downstream from fiction. Did the creators of South Park predict the future in their 1999 comedy film? I think we’re all suddenly realizing that prognostication is easy – Simply imagine the most absurd scenario possible and eventually it’s going to come true because we’re living in clown world.A war between Canada and the US opening up a portal to hell might be a bit of a stretch, but recent events lead me to believe that there are very real ingredients coming together that could trigger an active conflict with our neighbors to the north.

The Pentagon Inspector General expanded his investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the double-encrypted app Signal. Steven Stebbins took over as Acting Inspector General after President Trump fired the previous IG and 17 other inspectors general. Stebbins was first appointed to his position in 2015. Pete Hegseth has been under heavy attack since before his confirmation hearing and the leaks keep coming.

National security adviser Mike Waltz is expected to depart from the Trump administration in the coming days, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN, the first major staff shakeup since the president took office in January. Waltz’s job has been in limbo after it was made clear to him earlier this week that his time leading the National Security Council had come to an end, according to a source familiar with the matter. Alex Wong, the deputy national security adviser, and other national security advisers are also expected to depart, per multiple sources familiar with conversations, though timing is...

We must remember not just South Vietnam's fall, but why it fell.Fifty years ago, April 30, 1975, the world watched in horror and disbelief as the last American helicopter lifted off from the rooftop of our embassy in Saigon. South Vietnam had fallen in the manner of Ernest Hemingway, “first gradually, then suddenly”: a decades-long war, a relative peace, and then a mad dash by the North Vietnamese Army that consumed the country in less than a month. The tragedy was simply breathtaking. And horribly, horribly unnecessary.What followed was not peace, but darkness. The swift collapse of South Vietnam, Cambodia,...

One of President Trump's most volatile characteristics can also be one of his most endearing. While I'm reluctant to speak with certainty about eras before my lived experience, I can say that in my lifetime there has never been a political enigma like The Donald. Politicians don't talk like he talks. They don't attack their enemies like he attacks his enemies. They don't pressure the status quo like he pressures the status quo. And not since at least Franklin Roosevelt has a president been so comfortable governing by spitball - that is, throwing some idea or policy against the wall...

A Russian satellite believed to be part of Moscow’s nuclear anti-satellite weapon program appears to be malfunctioning, with erratic movements suggesting it may no longer be operational. The development could be a major blow to Russia’s military space ambitions, US analysts said. Cosmos 2553 was launched just weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Over the past year, it has shown signs of uncontrolled tumbling, according to radar data from LeoLabs and optical tracking shared by Slingshot Aerospace with Reuters. The satellite is believed to serve as both a radar tool for intelligence gathering and a platform for radiation testing....

Once again, the failing New York Times is running interference and burying the real story to protect their preferred narrative. An article headlined "Missteps, Equipment Problems and a Common but Risky Practice Led to a Fatal Crash," which is about January's devastating crash at Reagan National Airport, is a textbook example of mainstream media malpractice. An honest headline would have read, "Helicopter Pilot Ignored Multiple Safety Warnings Before Fatal Crash." The liberal paper of record spent roughly a thousand words dancing around the obvious truth: A helicopter pilot directly caused this tragedy by ignoring multiple explicit warnings. But that wouldn't...

Just shy of two weeks ago, President Trump spoke with assurance during a media event in the Oval Office with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni that negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were in a good place, and that U.S./Ukraine minerals deal could be signed shortly. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent piped up later on Apr. 17 that the timeline was looking closer to the 26th. The images of the two leaders' last meeting in D.C., with Zelensky causing a commotion over the president's and Vice President JD Vance's responses to his strident statements during their sit-down, then departing from the...

Ever since President Trump has been back in office, Democrats have been working hard to impede his success, not that you can blame them. They realize they have nothing to offer US citizens, and they have concluded that all they can do as a party is delay Trump’s obviously popular agenda. Their only success during the four years of Biden was in failing. So, they have opted for the Return of the Roadblock, starring Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and a cast of hundreds of ignoramuses. Leaders are supposed to offer solutions and find compromises that get things done. Democrats offer...

The media meltdown over the Trump administration’s restructuring of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division tells you all you need to know: it’s a necessary and overdue correction. NBC News and other outlets are breathlessly reporting that Trump’s team, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, has reoriented the Civil Rights Division to focus on issues like keeping men out of women's sports, ending radical indoctrination in K-12 education, and defending Americans, including Christians, against discrimination. The professional left is calling it a “bloodbath.” Former bureaucrats are lamenting that the division has been “completely refocused.” Good. That’s the point. "Civil...

If you are wondering why the left is working so very hard to discredit and destroy SecDef Pete Hegseth, you need not look any further than the wins he’s racking up. Hegseth promised to rip the ‘woke’ out of our military and return it to the business of being a force of warfighters that strikes the fear of God — or at least the fear of Uncle Sam — into those nations that mean us harm. Earlier this week, he announced the reversal of Biden’s COVID compliance firing policy, with an active search for those ‘warriors of conscience’ as Pete...

It’s been three months since Vice President Vance cast the tie-breaking vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as Defense secretary. The Deep State worked hard to scuttle Hegseth’s nomination in December and January with a steady drip of news stories calling his character into question, but President Trump and his trusted veep stood by their man and applied enough pressure on wayward Republican senators to secure his confirmation. Suddenly, corporate propagandists posing as reporters are back with fresh stories meant to undermine Secretary Hegseth and get him fired from the Pentagon’s top post. It’s almost as if the Deep State tabled...

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) A controversial ATF informant who forewarned her handlers about the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing has reportedly turned up dead 30 years later. The ex-ATF informant, Carol Howe—who warned her handlers in early 1995 that neo-Nazi extremists in Oklahoma were planning to attack federal buildings—had vanished in the late 90s after being acquitted from explosives charges. In the remaining years of her life, she was reportedly living in Sparta, Tennessee under the name “Sarah Collins.” She died in a house fire on Jan. 6, according to documentarian Jon Ronson. Ronson, who produced a podcast in...
