ASAP Rocky was still in a Swedish jail as of Friday afternoon, awaiting possible charges related to an alleged assault, though that may change soon after the Trump administration said it may get involved in seeking his release. Rocky's managers have said the musician acted to protect himself. TMZ posted a video on July 2 that the site claimed shows Rocky attempting to calm things down immediately before the incident. Fans of the rapper have been begging for the help of President Donald Trump to bring the American musician home after authorities in Sweden extended his time behind bars. President...

The Pharr International Bridge was temporarily closed Friday morning after a group of undocumented immigrants attempted to rush the bridge to enter the United States, according to a release from Customs and Border Protection. “At about 4 a.m. today[Friday], a group of 47 undocumented individuals attempted to illegally enter the United States in three waves via the Pharr International Bridge. Ignoring commands to stop, the group suddenly rushed the temporary barricades, bent metal poles and disabled the concertina wire affixed to the barrier,” states the release. (more at link)

effrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein and Theodore McCarrick operate(d) in different sectors of society, have different marital statuses and sexual preferences and profess different religions. What do these disparate men have in common? A belief system that claims that sex is an entitlement. They operate according to the tenets of the most powerful ideology currently at work in the world: the ideology of the sexual revolution. Epstein, the millionaire financier and admitted sex offender who pleaded not guilty July 9 to charges of sexual trafficking, allegedly got away with sickening crimes for a long time. But it would be a serious...

The capsule used by Neil Armstrong is deteriorating and in danger of crumbling into dust. The capsule or gondola used by Armstrong from the time he was a test pilot, X-15 pilot, and finally Gemini and Apollo astronaut is in sad condition. He not only trained in the gondola for the various space programs, but worked to develop flight controls with the engineers and technicians of the Naval Air Development Center (NADC) in Johnsvile, PA. He also used his experience there to become a NASA expert in flight simulation, one of his primary roles in the US space program. The...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge is upholding the Trump administration’s expansion of cheaper short-term health insurance plans as an alternative to the Affordable Care Act’s costlier comprehensive insurance.

The day before ultrarunner and obstacle course racing superstar Amelia Boone hit “publish” on the blog post that echoed through the endurance-sports world and beyond last week, she almost didn’t go through with it. “I was like, why am I doing this? I’m not recovered,” she told Runner’s World afterward. Even after her message went live, she spent some time second-guessing her motivations. But ultimately, Boone said, the predominant emotion she felt now that her 20-year experience with anorexia has become public knowledge is relief. “It’s honestly like having a hundred-pound weight vest lifted off,” she said. Now, she no...

The product is perfectly fine. There is zero health threat from the meat. The man who owns it is not even trying to sell it to the general public. He simply wants to be able to cook the 100 pounds of bacon for himself, his family, and friends. And yet, the state of Maine says that they have to confiscate it because the store which processed the slabs of seasoned pig messed up the paperwork. The Bangor Daily News reports that "Officials from the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry have told Randy Canarr that they feel badly about...

"Send her back” is not an affirmation of racism. It’s an affirmation of “I love my country — and if you don’t love it, get out.” When your country is a free country, to love your country is to love your freedom. Properly and rationally, you see people who hate your country as a threat to your freedom. Of course you want them out! And if these toxic members of Congress now known as “The Squad” hate freedom so much, why on earth would they want to stay here? For only one reason: To use their power in Congress and...

As an heiress to the Disney fortune, anything Abigail Disney says about the brand beloved by millions worldwide garners attention. And she’s calling out Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger for his nearly $66 million yearly salary, saying he isn’t doing enough to rectify the huge gap between his own earnings and that of other Disney workers. “Bob needs to understand he's an employee, just the same as the people scrubbing gum off the sidewalk are employees,” Disney said during an interview with the Yahoo News show Through Her Eyes. “And they're entitled to all the same dignity and human...

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has seemingly taken a shot at President Trump amid his ongoing feud with four progressive congresswomen, saying "there's a place" for natural-born citizens and refugees alike.

[Catholic Caucus] An Earthquake And An Avalanche ...Viganò’s newest allegations are shocking. First, he claims that Pope Francis’ Vatican officials shut down an investigation into sexual abuse of minors training to be altar boys inside the Vatican itself. The whistleblower was expelled, his supporters left, and the accused abuser, whom Viganò identifies by name, went on to be ordained two years ago. Second, he addresses Pope Francis’ appointment of Venezuelan Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra to be the new “Substitute” at the Secretariat of State, “making him the third most powerful person in the Curia. In doing so,” Viganò claims, “the...

Privatizing Public Lands Doesn't Mean Building Shopping Centers 07/18/2019Gor Mkrtchian Protected public lands in the United States — including national forests, national parks, and similar areas — cover nearly 500,000 square miles, or 14 percent of the land area of the United States. The existence of these government-controlled lands gives the federal government immense power over much of the United States, and in some US states, the federal government controls a majorityof the land area. Thanks to the popularity of some public lands, known for their natural beauty, federal control of so much land nonetheless remains popular, and the idea of privatizing...

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has allegedly been uncooperative with her hometown paper’s efforts to get to the bottom of accusations that she committed marriage fraud, the paper’s political editor said. Omar’s brief congressional career has been dogged by accusations — which she has denied — that she married a male relative, possibly her brother. Omar and her current husband, Ahmed Hirsi, filed joint tax returns while Omar was married to another man, Ahmed Elmi, Minnesota campaign finance officials said. Omar and her family have made it difficult for journalists to find out the truth about her marriage, Minnesota Star-Tribune...

Ayanna Pressley of the Squad says she doesn't want any more black faces who don't speak with a black voice. Well, here's a patriotic black lady who takes affront to this and gives Ayanna a little advice about hanging around with three bottom feeding foreign socialist/communists who in reality hate her because she (Ayanna) is the only true black American on the useful idiot puppet squad. Priceless video. I pray it goes viral (even with a little salty language). Video at source.

Research by Georgia State University’s Zach Goldberg and data from the Chicago Council on Global Affairs reveals that the Democrat Party’s move towards a mass immigration platform is driven primarily by white liberals. For example, about 65 percent of white liberals in 1994 said “large numbers of immigrants and refugees coming into the U.S.” are a “critical threat” to the nation. Fast-forward to 2016, and only about 16 percent of white liberals say mass immigration is a “critical threat” to the country. In a post for Tablet Magazine, Goldberg detailed how white liberals have transformed the Democrat Party’s platform to...

It appears there is at least one ethnic group that is safe to mock on CNN. WASPs, namely White Anglo Saxon Protestants. CNN's Chris Cuomo mocked FNC host Tucker Carlson for what he perceived (not quite accurately) was Carlson's ethnic background to slam him during Cuomo Prime Time, Thursday.

By the time Hillary Clinton took the stage in Atlanta on Friday to address a venerated civil rights group, many in the room had invoked the incendiary tweets by the man who defeated her that roiled politics in Georgia and the rest of the nation. And Clinton held little back at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, labeling President Donald Trump’s assertion that four liberal congresswoman of color should “go back” to their home countries as racist before presenting the activists in the hotel ballroom with a challenge. “We are better than this, but we better start proving it, not just...

Thought I’d take just a few moments to explain just what the gob-smacking greatness of Trump really is. Nobody seems to be aware of it. So I fly in like mighty mouse to “save the day!” BTW-on a side note I am seeing Trump with his Sir Kaepernick commercial and now his picked fight with the right honorable Omar person and the super-right honorable AOC. Here’s my suggestion. As the election draws near, do a commercial where you morph Kaepernick and have the illustrious 2 beside him. They could be the new Tony Orlando and Dawn. Morph it up. They...
