Police have made several arrests over three nights of disorder in a small Norfolk town over what locals say is the sudden and unannounced imposition of illegal migrant males on the community by the government. Thetford, a small town of some 25,000 near the Suffolk border in south Norfolk saw its third night of unrest and what some called an overly heavy-handed police response on Thursday over the emergence of so-called ‘HMOs’ — homes of multiple occupancy — regular family houses divided into small sub-units and used by the government to disperse boat migrants around the country. The apparently sudden…

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee meets to debate and vote on holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress on Thursday, August 6. Fauci refused to testify before the committee last week about his actions during the COVID-19 pandemic, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Several Republicans argued Fauci had no basis to invoke the Fifth Amendment as he had received a blanket pardon from former President Joe Biden, leading Chairman Rand Paul to call for a contempt of Congress resolution.

President Donald Trump said voters may seek to punish Republicans — but not him — in the November midterm elections, as GOP lawmakers sweat that affordability concerns and the war in Iran could mean Democrats flip the House and perhaps even the Senate. “They’re angry at Republicans,” Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News that aired Friday. “But they’re not angry at me. They’re not angry at me, but they are angry at Republicans.” The GOP faces the prospect of heavy losses this November, as gas and grocery prices remain stubbornly high due in part to the White House’s…

For decades, Americans have accepted an entertainment industry where ideological diversity has been noticeably absent. While Hollywood, the music business, and major media companies often celebrate diversity in many forms, diversity of thought has too often been the exception. That gap has created an opportunity. The demand for conservative-leaning entertainment is not driven by outrage. It is driven by market forces. Millions of Americans want stories, music, comedy, documentaries, and cultural programming that reflect values they recognize: faith, family, personal responsibility, patriotism, entrepreneurship, and a belief that the American experiment is still worth celebrating. This isn’t about creating an echo…

Iran lawmakers are considering enacting sweeping, punitive laws that would block ships from the U.S., Israel and other undefined “hostile” nations from transiting the disputed waters of the Strait of Hormuz, the country’s national news service reports. Penalty fines are also being considered in the act of revenge as Iran sees itself as the sole agent policing shipping traffic in the region – waters which are a passage for roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply as well as a host of other essential commodities including liquified natural gas (LNG). The plan would impose fees of up to seven percent…

The U.S. economy shed jobs in July even while the unemployment rate fell. Payrolls across the American economy contracted by 23,000 jobs in July and the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1 percent. The public sector’s payrolls fell sharply, and the services sector hiring was soft, with a large contraction in retail and leisure. The goods-producing side of the economy, however, saw a solid expansion, with both construction and durable goods manufacturing expanding at a rapid pace. Economists had forecast the economy would add 88,000 jobs and predicted the unemployment rate would hold steady at 4.2 percent. None of the…

Miss North Carolina USA has been stripped of the title she won barely a month ago after a string of allegedly offensive posts came into public view. The New York Post reports Brittany Boltinhouse, 27, was formally dethroned Wednesday. Miss USA Organization chairman and CEO Thom Brodeur said the action came after what he described as conduct that violated the organization’s standards was discovered in a “thorough review of recently surfaced information.” Although Brodeur did not specify the unbecoming conduct, he said the pageant “does not tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia nor language that strips any person of their dignity — whoever…

“University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan” by Ken Lund, CC BY-SA 2.0 Starting in 2027, the University of Michigan is changing from letter grades to system of pass or incomplete for first year students, claiming that they are doing it to ‘curb’ the mental health crisis. If you can’t handle getting a letter grade that you don’t like, maybe you are the problem. Maybe you’re just not ready for college. This is just more coddling, safe space nonsense that higher education has become known for in recent years. Oh wow University of Michigan will HIDE first-semester grades on transcripts for…

I really don’t understand the tremendous apathy that I am witnessing right now. Everyone can see that commercial oil inventories are rapidly being depleted. As I discussed yesterday, the global oil market had about 400 million barrels of excess inventory before the war, and now we have “close to nothing”. But at least we still have the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, right? Yes, that is true, but that is being rapidly depleted as well. In fact, when you add the dwindling commercial oil inventors in the U.S. to the oil that is left in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, we only have 43 days of…
