President Trump is a member of a group called “Just Stop Oil.”He just set up a blockade to prevent any oil from being delivered to Cuba.As a result, Cuba’s electrical system has shut down.I hope all the leftists who hate Trump will applaud him for joining their goal of bringing an end to the use of oil.https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/16/americas/cuba-power-grid-collapse-intl-latam

On December 27, 2025, a 13-year-old boy named Terrel Byars Jr. was hit and killed by a driver in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, which is near Pittsburgh.This past Sunday, protestors and their children walked in the street and deliberately placed themselves in front of oncoming traffic, in the exact same spot, on the exact same road, where Byars was killed.So after a child was hit and killed by a car, parents are encouraging their own children to walk in the same street against oncoming traffic.This is the exact opposite of what these parents should be teaching their children.Shame on these parents.https://triblive.com/local/4-arrested-officer-hurt-when-confrontation-breaks-out-at-west-mifflin-protest/

Trump’s latest comments come amid Levin’s months-long public feud with other right-wing podcasters, including Megyn Kelly, Jack Posobiec, Steve Bannon, and Tucker Carlson. The barb trading with Megyn Kelly came to a head on Sunday, when Kelly called Levin “Microp*nis Mark” and suggested that he is easily triggered by her because of “his microp*nis.” “Poor Megyn Kelly. An emotionally unhinged, lewd, and petulant wreck. She’s completely revealed and destroyed herself. She’s everything people say she is, but much worse. Never an intelligent, thoughtful, or substantive comment. Utterly toxic,” Levin said on X.“Microp*nis Mark @marklevinshow thinks he has the monopoly on...

In 1978, Paddy Chayefsky took to the stage at the Oscars and condemned the use of the ceremony as a political platform. What made him so mad? Vanessa Redgrave, wherein she called out the “Zionist hoodlums” who were trying to have her documentary The Palestinian silenced and destroyed... The brilliant screenwriter of Network did not hold back... 48 million people watched that episode. This year, the Oscars will be lucky to get 20 million. What might help is that a popular movie is in play: Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, which made waves for breaking the record for nominations (16) and for...

Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations and you’ve got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks. ...

I have never posted over here so if I'm in the wrong place doing the wrong thing the wrong way, I apologize - please advice, not flame. Since Apple paid $2,000,000,000.00 (yes, that's two billion dollars) for the sole rights to broadcast F1 races live I decided to break my no Apple rule and do the 7 day trial. The embedded Formula 1 app works, as does the embedded MLS app, Apple original Coming Soon and Children's shows all work but none of the Apple Original content (Movies, Shows, etc) will load. All we get is "Page Unavailable". I cannot...

The movie is just another sign that Hollywood has once again driven itself to total moral, artistic, and creative ruin.What would I do if I were one of America’s greatest film directors?The thought occurred to me sometimes as I was dawdling through film school, admiring the work of men and women whose talent I knew I lacked. With little hope of ever joining the pantheon myself, I daydreamed about what it must be like to be, say, Paul Thomas Anderson. Suppose I were him? Having delivered three of the finest cinematic masterpieces in recent history—Boogie Nights (1997), Magnolia (1999), and...

Demonizing the Jews is one of the oldest tricks in the bag. In the early Middle Ages, the accusations against the Jews of Europe started to erupt, and in the first quarter of the 21st century, they haven't stopped. Justin Martyr accused us of being Christ killers in "Dialogue with Tripho", as early as A.D. 160. John Chrysostom, might very well be the poster child for early Christian antisemitism. In his work Adversus Judaeos (387), he describes the Jews as "lucious, rapacious, greedy, destroyers, demon-possessed and assassins of Christ." Then came the ritual murder libel of 1141 when Jews were...

Iran has been at war with the United States and Israel for 47 years now. We didn’t start it; they did. But we are finally getting around to finishing it. In the first week of the 2026 action, we demolished over 3000 major targets in Iran, largely succeeding at the goal of decapitating the mullahs’ regime and eliminating their military capacity. Our airstrikes are rapidly wiping out their launch sites, their arms factories, their air force and naval vessels, while making a valiant effort to do all this without causing innocent civilian casualties. (As in any war, there are going...

An Islamic studies scholar told students to “be a threat” and praised the assassination of two “Zionists” during an online event Wednesday hosted by a student group at Union Theological Seminary, according to video clips of the talk. Professor Muhammad Abdou spoke at the event “Death to the Akademy: How to be a thorn in their throat amidst snakes in the grass” co-hosted by the seminary chapter of Students for a Liberated Palestine and the group Queer Muslims of New York City, the Washington Free Beacon reports. Abdou taught at Columbia University until recently when the institution banned him for...

Catch-and-release is succeeding…or failing spectacularly in New York City depending on your perspective. Thanks to Democrat control in Gotham and Albany, the latest horror show demonstrates how the people who voted for soft-on-crime politicians are getting exactly what they voted for, good and hard. Our latest poster child for ending progressive “catch and release” is Damon Johnson, 47, a one-man crime spree. He’s racked up a jaw-dropping 131 prior arrests in New York City since his first bust back in 1995 And those are just the crimes the cops caught him (allegedly) committing. Yet thanks to Team Soros prosecutors and...

The Drinker doesn't like much but he likes this highly anticipated sci-fi flick.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has sharply criticized judicial decisions blocking the detention of migrants transferred to Albania, citing the case of a Moroccan rapist with a long criminal record whom authorities say they cannot detain or deport after he applied for international protection. Speaking to RTL 102.5, Meloni said some court rulings preventing the continued detention of migrants transferred to Italian processing centers in Albania were “surreal” and undermined public safety.“I also wonder where the feminists are in the face of these events,” Meloni said during the interview, referring to the case of one of the migrants, Moroccan national...

Khuzestan is Iran's most oil-rich and ethnically diverse province — and the Arabs there have finally had it up to here with the theocrats who run things in Tehran. Whoever they are today, that is.In a daring new statement, the Khuzestan Arab Tribes Assembly this week calling for "a free, democratic, and federal Iran," and that they "firmly believe that the Islamic Republic's system has violated the rights of the people of Iran."While Khuzestan borders Iraq and is roughly one-third Arab, the assembly called the province the "beating heart of Iran" and emphasized "the protection of Iran's territorial integrity and...

Locals: ‘First time we’ve seen anything like this since the attacks started’ Check this wild footage from Karaj moments ago !

James Talarico’s fake tent show preacher act has been a joke since the moment he began it, and every living animal with a central nervous system is aware of this. For that matter, the geranium on your front porch may be aware of it. Pro-abortion, pro-trans, pro-trans-abortion for all six genders, Talarico’s much-derided sermonizing on the far-left Jesus he made up somewhere inside his cotton candy mind is ludicrous, appalling, embarrassing, and give me a minute while I load up all the pejoratives I can fit on this forklift. See, if you haven’t already, this discussion at First Things: “James...

A mysterious shortwave radio station began broadcasting strings of numbers in Farsi on the day Israel and the United States first struck Iran. It hasn't stopped since.Numbers stations, as they’re known, have been used by intelligence services since World War I to communicate with agents in the field, but have become increasingly rare in the digital age. With the Internet shut down by authorities in Iran, this Cold War relic has found new life. According to one group of aficionados that tracks these age-old spy tools, it’s the first new numbers station in years. A male voice in Farsi says,...

In this news video from the San Diego affiliate of NBC News, video shows that after a violent serial criminal named Arturo Gonzalez told Desi Sullivan, the principal of King Chavez High School, that he was running from ICE, the principal violated school policy by unlocking the door, and allowing this violent serial criminal to enter the school while students were inside the school.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt89ADHwhHUhttps://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/man-runs-into-school-after-ice-encounter/3991377/This tweet from ICE San Diego says that Gonzalez is “a known agitator with a long criminal history including… assault with a deadly weapon… and a 2023 restraining order stemming from a domestic violence arrest.”https://x.com/EROSanDiego/status/2030320342389170539

Donald Trump is betting that decisive force—not endless stalemate—can topple regimes, realign alliances, and compress decades of history into weeks.“There are decades where nothing happens,” Vladimir Lenin is supposed to have said (but didn’t), “and there are weeks where decades happen.” Welcome to the beginning of March, Anno Domini 2026. One week ago, on February 28, the United States and Israel commenced an attack on Iran. At first, it seemed to be merely a ramped-up continuation of Operation Midnight Hammer, the raid conducted last June when the United States, following up on Israel’s preliminary attacks, destroyed (“completely and totally obliterated”)...
