    Oh man, talk about your all-time bad decisions. I don’t know what led up to this moment, but it’s the definition of FAFO. For some reason, a police officer was confronting a black man in a gym and instead of following the officer’s directions he squared up to try and fight him. And then….OUCH!

    LONDON — In what political analysts described as a historic turning point for Western Civilization, Great Britain announced a "Reverse Crusade" where they invite Muslims to come and destroy England. With the original Crusades of the Britons journeying to the Middle East to free the Holy Land from Islamic rule long in the past, UK leaders said it was time to wipe the slate clean and turn the tables to allow Muslims to return the favor. "We're flipping the script," said UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "We can now look back and see the flaws in our approach to invading...

    A mother whose 9-year-old daughter encountered a naked male trans-identified sex offender in a school locker room spoke out at a Virginia school board meeting last week.

The mother said that a year had passed since her family stopped registering for swim lessons at Washington Liberty High School in Arlington after an incident involving her then-9-year-old daughter. "Last September, my daughter and I walked into the locker room, and a biological male who identifies as transgender and who also happened to be a...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a bold response to the recent shootings in left-leaning cities, Democratic leaders courageously stepped up to demand common-sense prayer control. Sources disclosed that the Democrat Party has decided to take a stand by calling for common-sense regulations on prayer in order to address the recent spate of transgender, leftist school shooters opening fire on innocents. "In these difficult times, it's important to reduce perpetrators' motivations to attempt mass murders," said Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. "That's why I support reasonable prayer restrictions — the only way to stop shooters from targeting little children is to abolish prayers....

    WASHINGTON – Louisiana is now urging the U.S. Supreme Court to rule a key section of the Voting Rights Act unconstitutional, which would throw out the state's congressional map that has two minority-majority districts. “The Constitution forbids sorting voters by race. And telling legislators drawing maps to think about race, but not think too much about race, is an untenable standard,” Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said after releasing Wednesday afternoon a 58-page brief filed with the Supreme Court. Louisiana had previously defended the maps, saying they had created them under protest when a federal judge ruled a previous map...

"Each [department] did have a DEI director, but that's been since changed to like 'multicultural...' So technically we are not 'DEI'" "Even if their DEI office was a person of one, that person didn't get fired. They just got moved... Nothing's changed."

    President Trump on Wednesday called for far-left billionaire George Soros and his son, Alex Soros, to be charged under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for funding and supporting violent far-left rioters. Soros and his Open Society Foundations have funneled money to and bankrolled many dark money projects and radical left movements to destabilize conservative governments and place radical left globalists in power. He is also the puppet master behind the lawfare against Trump, election interference, and chaos across the country. Notably, the Jewish billionaire has funded countless instances of violent riots, including anti-Israel movements, Black Lives Matter,...

    A groundbreaking study reveals racial bias in jury convictions, “When we break down this study we find that - Black juries have a 12% conviction rate against black defendants, vs a 59% against whites. So that indicates that there is a 47% interracial bias when you have black jurors - White juries have a 33% conviction rate against white defendants, vs a 26% against blacks, which actually demonstrates a negative 7% interracial bias Meaning whites are more likely to convict their co-racial group than they are to convict somebody across racial lines Whereas black juries have a 12% conviction rate...

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing by Austin Private Wealth dated July 12 showed the firm had shorted 12 million shares in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) via a put option, sparking frenzied conspiracy theories after the unusual trade was highlighted by a number of social media users.

Smith shared his experiment on Reddit, and it quickly spread across tech and finance communities, with coverage from Decrypt, Futurism, and others. Smith is quick to...

    A disgraced California elementary school teacher was sentenced to more than two centuries in prison last Friday after authorities unravelled the decades-long sexual abuse he committed against many of his own students. Kim Kenneth Wilson, 64, served as the head of the audio-visual club at Del Paso Heights Elementary School for 23 years before he was axed when the stomach-turning abuse was revealed. Wilson wound up curating a mountain of evidence against himself, including sick photographs and videos he captured of himself committing sex acts on his female students, often as young as 6 or 7 years old. Thanks to...

IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SHOULD, ACCORDING TO MANY, HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED BY THE FCC. I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our Democracy!!! MAGA

    Abstract The prevailing idea so far about why the rainfall occurs was that after agglutination of water droplets with condensation nuclei, the size of the particle formed by the condensation nuclei connected with droplets of water increased considerably and caused its fall. This idea has led to numerous scientific publications in which empirical distribution functions of clouds’ water droplets sizes were proposed. Estimates values provided by these empirical distribution functions, in most cases, were validated by comparison with UHF Radar measurements
