    ...by sitting out November elections to let the Democrats win (when the Republican isn't 'pure enough' for our tastes). Lots of people here claim there's no difference between the parties, or at least no difference between RINOs and Democrats. So ask yourself - do you really think that Susan Collins, for example, wants Trump dead (after voting with him on something like 98% of his judges and most of his legislative proposals)? In 2020, 500,000 Trump voters in Georgia, including some here, didn't bother to vote in the Georgia Senate Runoffs because the two Republicans didn't do enough to help...

    Shortly after Kirk, 31, was shot Wednesday while speaking at a campus event in Utah, Aaron Sharpe, co-owner of Lucius Q in Cincinnati, commented on a Facebook post from someone offering prayers for the husband and father of two. "Good riddance," Sharpe wrote in a post that is no longer publicly visible but has been circulated widely online in screenshots. "What a piece of s---," he added. On Wednesday evening, Sharpe doubled down on Facebook, posting, "Don't you dare come at me with your hypocrisy. … If you think that threats of social media attacks on me or my business...

    A local Democratic lawmaker in the Miami area is facing demands for his resignation after posting a message on social media stating that Charlie Kirk was a “fitting sacrifice” to gun manufacturers following the conservative activist’s assassination at a Utah college this week. Steve Cody, a councilman in the Miami-Dade village of Palmetto Bay, sparked outrage this week when he wrote on Facebook: “Charlie Kirk is a fitting sacrifice to our Lords: Smith & Wesson. Hallowed be their names.” He insisted he will not resign, noting he is term-limited and intends to serve through 2028. Palmetto Bay Mayor Karyn Cunningham...

    @VigilantFox Bill Maher delivers a brutal message to Democrats still calling Trump “Hitler.” Kirk is dead, and Maher has had enough of this sh*t. “Okay, first of all, a$$holes, he’s not Hitler. Okay? An insult to everybody in the Holocaust, to begin with. Second of all, calling somebody Hitler makes it a lot easier to justify things like assassination. Let’s put a sh*tload of that away, shall we?”

    New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge has hit three home runs in the two games since shaking hands with President Donald Trump. And Judge's latest homer was a historic one. Judge passed franchise icon Joe DiMaggio to leap into fourth place on the Yankees' all-time home run leaderboard on Friday night with a first-inning blast against the Boston Red Sox. It was the 362nd homer of Judge's career, surpassing DiMaggio, who had 361. Judge reached 362 homers in his 1,130th game. DiMaggio played 1,736 games and hit his last homer on Sept. 28, 1951, at the end of a 13-year...

    An American icon was assassinated. In a nation whose foundation is free speech and religious liberty, Charlie Kirk was murdered (at least it seems glaringly apparent) for exercising those freedoms. Charlie transformed conservatism in America not only for people of all ages. He was pro-Jesus, pro-life, pro-family, and pro-Constitution. He proved that Truth was always worth the hard work and intellectual pursuit. Without a college degree, he exposed the moral rot and academic dishonesty in higher education and in our politics. Is there any equivalent to Charlie Kirk in the progressive Left? Is there any leftist who would be willing...

    Trying to figure out how much battery storage, inverter size, type of charger and what have you to power my houseboat. My plan is to have enough battery storage to run everything using an inverter for AC power using batteries and by charging those batteries daily using a generator for a few hours. The biggest draw would be an occasional few minutes of a microwave to heat food, and also run a tv/monitor along with computer. everything else runs on DC current for short periods of time like fresh water pump. I do have a small a/c air conditioner that...

    A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employee has been placed on administrative leave after making controversial comments about Charlie Kirk. Gavin Sylvia, a data analyst with FEMA since November 2024, posted on Instagram: 'Half mast for the literal racist homophobe misogynist?? [Be ******* for real].' The post questioned President Donald Trump's order to have American flags flown at half-staff following Kirk's assassination on Wednesday in Utah. A FEMA spokesperson told the Daily Mail: 'This employee's words are revolting and unconscionable. He was immediately placed on administrative leave. 'Celebrating the death of a fellow American is appalling, unacceptable and sickening.' Sylvia...

    Let’s go to Seattle to hear directly from a moonbat why leftists believe Charlie Kirk deserved to die: (video on link, try not to barf) There you have it. Charlie Kirk deserved to die because he was a “Nazi” — i.e., someone who expressed views in opposition to leftism. That they apply this term to a guy like Kirk confirms that when used by liberals it has no other meaning. If you are reading this, you are probably a “Nazi” to. This means they would like to kill you also. If given the opportunity, they might.

    Utah Governor Spencer Cox basked in praise for his 'unity' plea at Friday's FBI press conference — but the man whose alleged assassin he was discussing once wanted him expelled from the Republican Party. Cox dominated the podium detailing Charlie Kirk's murder just three years after the TPUSA founder branded him a 'weak moderate' who 'should be expelled from the Republican party.' The 2022 social media blast came after Cox vetoed a bill banning biological males from women's sports — a move that infuriated Kirk and conservative activists. Now friends of the slain activist find it 'ironic' that the same...

    Labour MP Clive Lewis has said Sir Keir Starmer "doesn't seem up to the job" as anger grows over Peter Mandelson's appointment as an ambassador and the handling of his sacking. Mandelson was fired over links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The men's friendship had been known about at the time of his appointment but No 10 said new information about their relationship only came to light this week. Lewis, an outspoken voice on the Labour left, told the Radio 4's Week in Westminster: "It feels that he [the prime minister] has lost control within the first year". Minister Douglas...
