A motorist foiled a brazen armed highway robbery in Chile by using his vehicle to send one of the criminals who tried to force him to stop airborne. When highway bandits tried to block a freeway entrance ramp with their car and one emerged with a handgun ordering him to stop, the motorist accelerated through a narrow gap between the thieves’ vehicle and a guard rail — plowing one of them over the rail and down the slope below. The two perpetrators were dressed in black and wearing masks when they emerged from their Audi as it screeched to a…
On Wednesday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) discussed the impact of a lapse in DHS funding impacting FEMA and said that the president “Seems to forget that much of the reason that we need FEMA is his total disregard for climate change and the extreme weather events that we’re experiencing.” He also stated that “ICE has been so dramatically funded, they won’t be hurting in a shutdown.” Quigley said, [relevant remarks begin around 3:30] “When the president of the United States talks about, well, we’ve got to fund FEMA, and you have to be voting for…

Wednesday on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said he would hold District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro accountable for seeking and failing to bring indictments against him and several other Democratic lawmakers over a video on military orders. Co-host Alicia Menendez said, “You have a letter from your attorney that is demanding that Jeanine Pirro never take legal action against you, saying the indictment was a misuse of power. The reports that your office tried and failed to secure an indictment against Congressman Crow represents a breathtaking and unprecedented level of prosecutorial overreach and misuse of…
A small GOP rebellion is unleashing a flood of House votes on President Donald Trump’s tariff policies in the coming weeks — handing Democrats a powerful tool to hammer Republicans on affordability issues ahead of the November midterms.

Six Republicans broke ranks and joined Democrats Wednesday to overturn Trump’s Canada tariffs — a vote that took place only after three of those GOP members…

Guess what the main topic of debate at the European Parliament in Strasbourg this week is. It is what the Euro-elites consider the most concerning issue of the moment: “State violence in Minneapolis and the rule of law in the United States.” This is a typical example of seeing the speck in your brother’s eye while ignoring the beam in your own. The European Union is criticizing the rule of law in America, while there are indications that Ursula von der Leyen’s European Commission has in the past two years actively tried to interfere in eight parliamentary and presidential elections…
