So a “racist gerrymander” designed to “silence Black voters” is, in practice, on the verge of replacing an aging white Democrat with a Black female conservative who grew up in Memphis, pulled herself out of homelessness, and openly credits her Christian faith as the foundation of her politics. If that is what white supremacy looks like in 2026, the white supremacists need a new playbook. The “Black-Majority” District That Keeps Electing a White Democrat Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District has been drawn as a Black-majority district since the early 1980s. It is the only majority-minority district in the state. And since...

Saggezza Eterna@FinalTelegraph·10hLet's Get Serious: Should Obama ACTUALLY Be Arrested?The historical record of the Obama presidency is a ledger of criminal activity disguised as progressive evolution. Barack Obama transformed the executive branch from a constitutional office into a weapon of partisan warfare. His tenure established a precedent for the total subversion of the American republic. We are living in the wreckage of a nation he intentionally dismantled to satisfy a radical vision of globalist integration. The immunity he enjoys is a symptom of the systemic corruption he perfected. Jailing Obama is the only way to restore the integrity of the law.Operation...

Hollywood-style hit job just changed campaign ads forever— and it’s breaking the Internet by DBS Wire Share Tweet A viral, AI-generated campaign-style video featuring reality TV personality Spencer Pratt is blowing up online — and it’s not your typical political ad. The spot leans hard into Hollywood spectacle, casting Pratt as a caped crusader of sorts — yes, think Batman, but make it “Prattman.”The target is unmistakable: California’s political establishment, portrayed as exactly what critics on the right have been saying for years — insulated, self-satisfied elites who wouldn’t recognize real-world problems if they tripped over them on Rodeo Drive.

"Just now... sources in the White House as well as Congressional members tell me and @G_Knapp that the Presidential UFO file release will begin tomorrow. We are told it will be slow and steady at first. Nothing shocking initially. Let's see where this goes! This is VERY encouraging - that this administration is following through. More data means more leverage for those of us fighting for UAP transparency. SLEEPING DOG exists because our government chose silence over transparency - that might be changing."

"Millions of Britons have gone to the polls across England, Scotland and Wales for the Local Elections 2026 - join us we react live to the results as they come out! How bad will it be for Labour? Will this be a step forward for Reform from 2025? Are the Greens here to stay?"

Fox News contributor Mark Thiessen joined anchor John Roberts on Thursday to discuss the latest developments in President Donald Trump’s negotiations to end the conflict in Iran, which Thiessen warned risked putting the U.S. in a weaker position. Roberts introduced Thiessen and noted, “He’s got a new column out today in the Washington Post titled ‘Trump Risks Snatching Defeat From the Jaws of Victory.’” Roberts continued: You’re offering the president some advice here, including on X, where you said: “Here’s what Iran sees after being warned not to. They hit UAE and fired on a U.S. ship, and we didn’t...

A veteran NYPD captain has been yanked from his command and transferred to a desk job at a 911 call center after he was caught on video telling the truth about far-left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani while in uniform.Capt. James G. Wilson, 51, was serving as the second-in-command at the 94th Precinct in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, when his viral rant was recorded during an anti-ICE protest outside Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Bushwick on May 2. (snip)Still smiling, he added that all Democrats are a “waste of human race.”

U.S. — Members of the Democratic Party from across the nation issued a statement clarifying that everyone is an evil Nazi except that one guy running for Senate in Maine who has a Nazi tattoo. While the Democrats' political strategy for years had been to label all sorts of people as evil Nazis, ranging from Republican politicians to concerned parents at PTA meetings. But after Graham Platner became the presumptive Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, the Democratic Party sought to explain that the man with the skull-and-crossbones "Totenkopf" tattoo was definitely not an evil Nazi. "Graham Platner is definitely...

Last week, the Department of Justice announced that former FBI director James B. Comey has been again indicted by a Federal Grand Jury, this time in the Eastern District of North Carolina. The criminal offenses charged against Comey are precise and limited; two counts of threating harm to the President. They involve his posting of images of seashells arranged as “86 47.” 86 being slang for kill and Trump being the 47th president. Kash Patel, the current FBI director, commented that Comey “disgracefully encouraged a threat on President Trump’s life and posted it on Instagram for the world to see.”...

An unearthed clip of Sarah Trone Garriott, a member of the Iowa State Senate and current Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, has been circulating on social media in which she defends her decision to begin a day in the legislature with a Muslim prayer. She not only described the act as one of inclusivity, but also accused Iowans who sent her hateful messages of harboring “horrible animosity towards our Muslim neighbors.” The most striking part: she is an ordained Lutheran minister and pastor. "So the Senate begins every day with prayer, and the majority of members in...

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Newsmax on Tuesday the Trump administration is continuing full-scale immigration enforcement but is deliberately taking a lower-profile approach than his predecessor, Kristi Noem, to allow agents to operate without interference. "We're staying focused on all illegals, without question," Mullin told "Rob Schmitt Tonight," pushing back on criticism that the Department of Homeland Security is prioritizing only criminal illegal immigrants. "That doesn't mean we're slowing down even a little bit." Mullin said the shift is largely about strategy and visibility, not substance. "We're purposely trying to be a little bit more quiet," he said, adding...

Handre @HandreThe Plymouth Pilgrims accidentally ran the first documented socialist experiment in America three centuries before Marx scribbled his manifesto. Governor William Bradford's "common storehouse" system from 1620-1623 delivered textbook collectivist results: mass shirking, crop failures, and near-starvation.Bradford recorded the disaster in detail. Young men "complained that they were oppressed" when forced to work for others without reward. Productive colonists watched lazy neighbors receive equal rations despite contributing nothing. The system "was found to breed much confusion and discontent" because it violated basic human incentives. People starved while fertile Massachusetts soil lay underworked.The turnaround came swiftly in 1623 when Bradford...

The Daily Signal@DailySignal·22hVictor Davis Hanson: This Isn't the Democratic Party Anymore—It's the Jacobin Party@JamesCarville and Susan Rice have already noted the plan: pack the court the moment they get back in—no amendment, no Congress. Just do it.Add D.C. and Puerto Rico for four Senate seats. Kill the Electoral College. Kill the filibuster.Look at the 1992 and 1996 Democratic platforms under Clinton—secure borders, deportations, teens who commit murder tried as adults, balanced budget. Today, that platform would be called racist and fascist by the very party that ran on it.Thirty years ago, a Nazi tattoo would have been disqualifying in the...

Shane Kidwell@shanerkidwell·5hWashington just became the first state in U.S. history to terminate a public employee pension plan.The plan belongs to retired police officers and firefighters. LEOFF Plan 1 was 160% funded as of June 2024 per the state's own actuarial valuation. It had not required a single contribution in 25 years. By 2029 it was projected to reach 200% funded with a $4.3 billion surplus.The legislature terminated the plan, swept $3.9 billion, and is using $880 million of it to refill a rainy day fund it already drained to cover a deficit it created.Days ago, retired first responders including former...
