Combined…

Over the Fourth of July weekend, Washington DC found itself beset by the “Patriot Front”, about 400 guys in matching outfits, with white balaclavas covering their faces and waving flags about. The (relatively small) gathering walked about a bit, did some marching, waved some flags…and scared the press to death! They’re not real, of course. The running joke has already become they are barely-disguised federal agents indulging in some rather lame propaganda, even as some members of rightwing defend both their realness and their aims. Apparently they do community projects and stuff. Regardless, they are not real. Even if they’re…

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine’s air force said Tuesday it intercepted five ballistic missiles launched by Russia in a raft of overnight attacks, although other missiles and drones got through and hit warehouses and a school in the capital of Kyiv. It was the first time in almost two weeks that Ukraine said it had downed Russian ballistic missiles, which are harder to stop than drones or cruise missiles and have pummeled the country in Moscow’s 4-year-old full-scale invasion. Ukrainian air defenses likely used the U.S.-made Patriot surface-to-air guided missile system that is the most effective way of countering ballistic…

Brad Cooper, and American service members. Trump said the Strait of…

Colorado is a prime example of what can happen to a state that loses its roots and allows leftists to slowly take over, Republican Wyoming gubernatorial candidate Megan Degenfelder explained during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily. The Trump-endorsed candidate spoke about the neighboring state and explained that she wants to preserve Wyoming and keep it from turning into Colorado. “What happened? Give us the history of Colorado, how they went so far left,” host Mike Slater asked. “How long do you have, right?” Degenfelder joked, explaining that the shift in Colorado happened ever so slowly. “You know, I think…

Rep. Lisa McClain of…

UNESCO has already recorded this alarming trend, and it demands an explanation.UNESCO regularly collects and publishes information on progress toward one of the key Sustainable Development Goals: the universal inclusion of school-age children in primary and secondary education.

At the time, witnesses reportedly testified that the hijackers…

A CPI Report for the Record Books The June inflation report was even better than it looks. Don’t get us wrong. The headline figure was glorious. The consumer price index fell by 0.4 percent for the month, the biggest decline since the big dips in March and April of 2020, when the economy was reeling from the pandemic shutdown. Prior to that, you have to go all the way back to January of 2015, when the CPI fell 0.7 percent. Not surprisingly, gasoline prices played a big role in each of those declines. The pandemic triggered a global collapse in…

Today is Monday, July 13, 2026, the second anniversary of the failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. As he was delivering his remarks, shots were fired and Trump instinctively reached up to touch his ear that, unbeknownst to him at the moment, had been grazed by a bullet. Members of the U.S. Secret Service rushed onto the stage, shielded the president, and rushed him offstage as the crowd tried to take cover in the chaos. People were screaming and as the agents lifted President Trump to his feet, he…
