U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) reportedly assaulted a reporter who did nothing more than ask if he endorses his party’s Graham “Nazi tattoo” Platner, the Democrats’ nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine. “Do you endorse Graham Platner in Maine?” the unnamed journalist asks.

We’ve warned more times than I care to count that governments are likely to steal from citizens’ pension funds. Why? Because it’s a big pool of cash just sitting there — and when the parasite class sees money within their reach, they simply can’t help themselves. Perhaps most importantly, governments have control over most pension funds in the world. Sure, most people think it’s their money sitting in the pension plan, but when you look at the fine print there’s a lot that you as an investor can’t do with ‘your money’. First up. The “lucky country,” Australia. “The Albanese…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – A cargo ship traveling through the Strait of Hormuz on a United Nations-approved route was hit by a projectile Thursday, the British military said, as several tankers made their way out of the channel using the same path.

Still reeling from their leader’s electoral defeat earlier this week, members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are warily preparing to welcome his successor — with some conditions. Darializa Avila Chevalier — a democratic socialist who ousted Hispanic Caucus Chair Adriano Espaillat in Tuesday’s New York primary and is expected to win the general election — plans to join the coalition currently composed of 42 Democrats across the party’s ideological spectrum. “ICE kidnappings have sent school absenteeism rates skyrocketing across New York City since immigrant parents are too afraid to send their children to school,” Avalia Chevalier said in a statement…
