A male entered a 7-Eleven in Oklahoma City just before midnight Thursday and tried to buy burritos, beef sticks, and ice cream with a counterfeit $100 bill, according to a KOKH-TV news video. But the female clerk wasn't buying the con. What's more, the clerk said she was calling police, KWTV-DT reported — and she refused the male's demand that she give him back the counterfeit bill, Gary Knight of the Oklahoma City Police Department added to the station. Then the thug reportedly got violent. “He came around the counter, got behind the counter where she was, and grabbed her...

A Michigan man fatally shot a teen who broke into his garage and is now facing a manslaughter rap — sparking controversy over the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law. Sivan Wilson, 17, was with six other mainly teenagers when the group broke into Dayton Knapton’s garage in White Lake shortly after 1 a.m. July 8, authorities said. Knapton, 24, got an alert from his home security system, grabbed a .9mm gun, ran outside and fired two shots into the garage through a windowless door, striking Wilson, according to prosecutors and cops. As the group fled, Knapton fired five more shots...

In a story that’s got self-defense advocates cheering and the radical left fuming, a lone veteran in his home faced down three armed intruders—and dropped all three with precise head and chest shots, ending the threat in seconds. The November 12, 2025, incident, captured on video that’s gone viral, shows the vet’s calm resolve as he protected his life from the break-in crew. But the real jaw-dropper? The mother of one dead thug defending her son, claiming the vet used “excessive force” because they “only tried to rob” him. “My son only tried to rob you, and you took his...

A shocking poll shows that two years after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre that murdered more than 1,200 Israelis, a majority of Palestinians still say the terror group was right to launch the attack — and, equally disturbing, an overwhelming 86 percent deny that Hamas committed the well-documented atrocities against civilians. According to the Ramallah-based Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR), 53 percent of Palestinians say Hamas’s decision to launch the October 7 assault was correct; support is strongest in the West Bank at 59 percent, while 44 percent in the Gaza Strip back the attack — a...

A new report exposes that the Bureau’s data on instances of armed civilians stopping or preventing mass shootings is inaccurate and vastly undercounted.One of the most popular claims by anti-Second Amendment groups is that firearms lead to more crime. Indeed, anti-gun advocates point to dubious studies that purportedly debunk the research by John R. Lott, an academic, economist, and head of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC). Lott’s work definitively shows that higher concentrations of legal gun ownership result in less crime.By contrast, leftist research often makes conflation and category errors, such as failing to make a clear distinction between...

Reform's immigration policy is "racist" and "immoral", Sir Keir Starmer has said. He was reacting after Nigel Farage's party said it would axe the right of migrants to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR), ban anyone who is not a UK citizen from claiming benefits, and force those applying for UK citizenship to renounce other citizenship. This policy could impact hundreds of thousands of people, although Reform has exempted EU citizens with settled status from its plans to ban migrant access to benefits and its policies on ILR. Indefinite leave to remain is the status which grants legal migrants...

This is one of the most heartbreaking photos I have ever seen.Hero in Scotland defends herself from getting assaulted by a migrant and gets arrested. Young girls in the UK either have to get r*ped or face arrest for protecting themselves. Utterly insane pic.twitter.com/Ord31GB5jf — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) August 26, 2025This beautiful little girl in Dundee, Scotland, now known as Sophie Braveheart, or Sophie of Dundee, aged 14, is the same age as our adopted granddaughters.

The word 'slogan' has an interesting etymology. It comes directly from the Scottish Gaelic term 'Sluagh-Ghairm,' or battle cry. Highlanders in the Middle Ages would shout their sluagh-ghairms to rally their troops into war. In the movie Braveheart, William Wallace's sluagh-ghairm was 'Alba gu bràth,' or 'Scotland Forever.'We note this obscure bit of history because it appears that young lasses in Scotland have had just about enough of their government covering up for immigrant groomer gangs. They are shouting their sluagh-ghairms and channeling their inner William Wallace to show everyone, including would-be sexual assailants, that they're not going to take...

SCOTLAND — According to reports, the homeland of William Wallace has shifted away from charging into certain death in the name of freedom to just letting their teenage daughters handle the violent rape gangs. "I let my daughter have a knife, she can probably handle a gang of Muslim men," said local man Ewan Grant. "I would help, but my couch is really very comfortable. Plus, dealing with gangs who want to rape our daughters sounds like a lot of work." Instead of facing mortal danger in the name of freedom like their ancestors, today's Scottish have opted to give...

On Wednesday, another mass shooting unfolded — this time at Fort Stewart military base in Georgia. A male Army sergeant, who illegally carried a gun on the base, wounded five soldiers before others tackled and disarmed him. Typically, only authorized designated security forces such as MPs are armed on duty. Any other soldier caught carrying a firearm faces severe consequences, ranging from a rank reduction, court-martial, potential criminal convictions, dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of pay, and even imprisonment. So why would a soldier risk such harsh penalties? Because if you’re the attacker, planning to murder fellow soldiers, gun control laws won’t...

America’s oldest gun control law is once again in peril... President Donald Trump’s big, beautiful bill has brought a big, beautiful opportunity to Second Amendment advocates. By zeroing out the tax on certain guns and accessories mandated by the National Firearms Act, this controversial legislation raises a crucial constitutional question: Since a $0 tax generates no revenue, is it even a tax? Many argue it is not – and, therefore, the NFA is no longer a tax law. That’s precisely the approach taken by a new lawsuit from Gun Owners of America and several other enthusiasts of the right to...

President Trump said Monday his administration would send Ukraine additional weapons after his administration imposed a pause on some shipments to Kyiv. “We’re going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now,” Trump told reporters during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Defensive weapons, primarily, but they’re getting hit very, very hard. So many people are dying in that mess,” he added. The Pentagon last week confirmed a decision to halt the delivery of some air defense missiles and munitions to Ukraine, citing concerns...

Citigroup announced Tuesday that it’s ending its policy restricting banking services to businesses selling firearms, citing “regulatory developments, recent executive orders and federal legislation.” The policy, which required retailers to limit gun sales to people over 21, was originally implemented in 2018 after a 19-year-old shot and killed 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. However, in a statement released Tuesday, the bank indicated it will “no longer have a specific policy regarding firearms.” “The policy was intended to promote the adoption of best sales practices as prudent risk management and didn’t address the manufacturing of...

No, Jamie Dimon isn't predicting an invasion of or civil war in the United States, but during his wide-ranging discussion at the Reagan National Economic Forum, he did issue some dire warnings about how American policymakers have made some very poor decisions in recent years that threaten economic turmoil in the near term and our long-term dominance in the medium term. Dimon, as you likely know, is CEO of JP Morgan Chase and the most powerful banker in the world, making him one of the powerful people in the world. While Dimon is not a magician, it would be stupid...

California police are looking for a man who allegedly tried to attack a 13-year-old girl but ended up with a broken ankle after she fought him off with jiu-jitsu. The incident unfolded on May 6 at Carmel-by-the-Sea as the girl was walking home, according to Michael Blackburn, her jiu-jitsu instructor, who spoke with KSBW-TV. “Halfway home, a gentleman was standing in between two cars, and he stepped out to punch her in the face,” said Blackburn. The girl reacted by using the jiu-jitsu training she had undertaken for three years in Blackburn’s classes at the Carmel Youth Center. “She punched...
