The United States military might soon add an insane new weapon to its arsenal. As I often say, the United States has the most powerful military on the planet, and there's no close second. We don't just have the best people. We have the greatest technology and weapons that humans have ever designed. Whether it's the B-21 Raider, the F-22 Raptor, nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers or anything else, the United States can bring tools to the fight years more advanced than our adversaries. That might now include a new kind of munition.

Shame is rapidly becoming a thing of the past in America. But even though the conscience of a nation dies, sometimes things get so bad that shame creeps up again and makes you wish you were a citizen of a different country. Such an example is found on X about a school board in a California school district. Although it’s not much fun or very entertaining to watch, this is the video in which the school board is being questioned by what seems to be a parent. This writer thought at one time that I had seen it all. I...

President Trump said his proposed 100% additional tariffs on goods from China were "not sustainable."

New York magazine wondered aloud about the success of President Donald Trump in achieving a peace deal in the Middle East while the Biden administration was an utter failure in that regard. That puzzlement was reflected in the title of Ross Barkan's Tuesday Intelligencer section column, "How Did Trump Get a Peace Deal Done Where Biden Could Not?"Barkin struggles with the idea of Trump's success by denigrating him as merely a transactional deal maker in the real estate mode as well as being primarily motivated by a desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, such mockery is to be...

British actress Frances Barber conceded Monday that she's changed her view on President Donald Trump following his role in brokering a peace deal between Israel and Hamas earlier this week. "I had TDS and I'm now eating my words," she wrote on X Monday, reposting a photo showing a "Thank You" message to Trump written on a Tel Aviv beach. The actress later confirmed in her comment section that the acronym she used in her post stood for "Trump Derangement Syndrome." Barber had previously been an outspoken critic of Trump, slamming the president on social media for being a "convicted...

Smith, who resigned from the Justice Department in January shortly before Trump returned to office as president, warned that attacks on public servants would have an “incalculable” cost on the country. “I think the attacks on public servants, particularly nonpartisan public servants — I think it has a cost for our country that is incalculable, and I think that we — it’s hard to communicate to folks how much that is going to cost us,” Smith said in an interview last week with former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissman at University College London Faculty of Laws, where Weissman is a visiting...

Like many snowbirds, the massive shark Contender is gorging on fatty foods up north in preparation to go south to Florida for the winter. The New York Post: The biggest great white shark ever recorded in the Atlantic has resurfaced just off the coast of Canada – where he is plumping up on seals ahead of winter. Contender, a 14-foot beast, was tagged in the North Atlantic by OCEARCH in January – a non-profit organization that conducts research on large marine animals – 45 miles off the Florida-Georgia coast, off Jacksonville. His tracker only transmits a locating signal when the...

Centuries of human history have been frozen in time inside the towering nests of bearded vultures, Europe’s most endangered raptors, and have revealed a surprising archive of ancient artefacts carried aloft by the birds themselves. A Spanish research team who were excavating 12 ancient eyries in southern Spain’s rugged cliffs uncovered 2,483 preserved remains in a study published recently in the Ecology journal. Among them: 2,117 animal bones, 86 hooves, 72 leather scraps, 43 eggshell fragments—and 226 human-made objects, some dating back over 650 years via carbon-14 analysis. “These nests have acted as natural museums,” the authors wrote, who credited...

Bush, assuming he runs as a Republican, is not likely to align himself with the MAGA movement, as he has called President Donald Trump 'personally troubled'. And in December 2023, he donated $50,000 to a super PAC that was in support of Nikki Haley, Trump's main rival in the 2024 Republican primaries. He has not given much to Maine politicians but has supported Senator Susan Collins, a moderate Republican who voted against Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.

Watch the video of Curtis Sliwa on Fox News. He's pumped, excited, and in it to win it. He is not dropping out.

VIDEOMargaret Dumont was NOT amused and in our era neither is Kaitlan Collins.

We’re gonna need a bigger telescope. Scientists have discovered that the 3I/ATLAS — a Manhattan-sized interstellar object that potentially has alien tech — is much larger than previously thought, according to a new report. First discovered by NASA on July 1, the cosmic anomaly has been under watch by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and his team as it shoots across the solar system. The object, which is believed to be a comet, reportedly has interstellar origins, making it the third ever object from beyond the solar system ever detected after ‘Oumuamua, which was discovered in 2017, and 2I/Borisov in 2019....

President Trump will not allow Israel to impose sovereignty over the biblical heartland of Israel. It’s not the West Bank - it’s Judea and Samaria. It’s where Abraham Isaac and Jacob and the stories of most of the Old Testament took place. I am not surprised! The pressure from Saudi Arabia Turkey Qatar Egypt France UK and Canada was too much for him.

On Monday, President Donald Trump issued an advisory for pregnant women to refrain from taking Tylenol or at the very least cut back on their intake of it as a precaution due to a possible link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) and autism.The reaction to this announcement by the Associated Press that same day displayed an obvious animus that Science was dying. This fury was reflected in the headline of the AP story by Ali Swenson and Lauran Neergaard: "Trump makes unfounded claims about Tylenol and repeats discredited link between vaccines and autism."

This short clip shows the moment the shot hit Charlie. It appears the shot was synchronized to Robinson's .30-06 cover shot. While not definitive, what is clear is that the hit drove Charlie to his left and off his chair. Someone has to have better video. It is noteworthy that the cameras to Charle's rear, mounted up on the tent super-structure, were removed 5 minutes after the shooting. No one secured the crime scene and the FBI didn't arrive until 18 minutes after the shooting. Indeed, the entire crime scene was corrupted immediately and now they have stripped the entire...

The New Yorker magazine used to be a showcase for great writers. That was many years ago. More recently it has become a cesspool of mediocre writers striving with great urgency to promote their leftist agendas. And the latest such example of a New Yorker writer crawling deep into the sewer came on Wednesday with this smear masquerading as a story by Kyle Chayka, "Charlie Kirk and Tyler Robinson Came from the Same Warped Online Worlds."To say that Chayka sickeningly attempted to put Charlie Kirk and his assassin on the same moral plane, as inferred by the story title, is...

VIDEOWhen you see the thumbnail for this video you might think it is a bit hyperbolic with the images of Mao's Little Red Book. However, just a few seconds into this video, you will agree that the images were entirely appropriate after hearing this Oberlin College Commie student speak approvingly of political assassinations, including that of Charlie Kirk, and lovingly quoting Mao to justify them. BTW, I'm not exactly surprised these rantings are from an Oberlin College student since that school has had a reputation for promoting Communist ideology for years.
