    Stan Lee, the man who co-created Marvel Comics, has died ... Stan's daughter tells TMZ. We're told an ambulance rushed to Lee's Hollywood Hills home early Monday morning and he was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. We're told that's where he died. Lee had suffered several illnesses over the last year or so -- he had a bout of pneumonia and vision issues. Stan started Marvel with Jack Kirby in 1961 with The Fantastic Four. He went on to create Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man and The Avengers. Stan made cameo appearances in all of the...

    A pilot sacked for being scared of flying has won an unfair dismissal claim after a tribunal heard he was told to do a crossword when he raised concern about his phobia. First officer Matthew Guest has been working for Flybe for almost a decade but became anxious and had "panic attacks" after being promoted to longer flights, a tribunal heard. On one occasion Mr Guest twice raised concerns with a boss about a four hour flight but was told to do a crossword or read a book whilst the plane was cruising. He called in sick the next day...
  • America is finished unless something is done to stop this (vanity)

    Every year we let in between one to two millions legal and illegal immigrants. Most of them will come in and vote democrat. At this rate it won't be long before the democrats have a monopoly on power in nearly every state (they already do in several states) A democrat monopoly on power would rival the old soviet union for leftist tyranny. The immigration time bomb is ticking. Unless this is stopped we are finished.

    A squirrel hunter opened fire, hitting his hunting partner in the face. DNR officials were called to the Allegan State Game Area to investigate a hunting accident. That’s when they learned that a squirrel hunter opened fire with his 12-gauge shotgun after seeing movement next to a tree, around 20 yards away. The movement turned out to be his hunting partner’s face, according to conservation officers. The shot caused serious injury to the man’s face, eye, and jaw. He was airlifted to the hospital for treatment. Conservation Officers report the victim was not wearing any hunter orange. The investigation continues,...

    After winning control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections, the Democrats are now planning to push for the most aggressive changes to gun legislation in decades. The Democratic Party is aiming to shake up current laws with the biggest changes to current regulations in the last 25 years. Dems are preparing for the big push ahead of the new term, which begins January, but Republicans are unlikely to make it easy for them.

    Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended a previously deported murderer who illegally re-entered the U.S. about one month following his deportation. Agents assigned to the Laredo Sector conducted an extensive search for a suspected illegal alien who absconded from arrest on November 10. Early Sunday morning, agents found the suspect near the Interstate 35 mile marker 31 location and took him into custody. Information obtained by Breitbart News from Laredo Sector Border Patrol officials revealed that the agents determined the suspect to be a Mexican national with no legal basis to be in the U.S.

    Many people are very seriously questioning the integrity of our voting system, especially in this, the election of 2018. I intend to explain exactly how this fraud is accomplished, and why late-vote acceptance is so dangerous and destructive to our republic: First, one must understand the importance of chain of custody. Used often in the law-enforcement community, this concept means that evidence (or, in our case, ballots) must be handled an a tracked, sealed, and auditable manner. There must be an auditable paper trail that records the sequence of sealing, custody, control, transfer, unsealing, analysis, and disposition of election ballots,...

    Once again Liberals are shown to be blind to their own hypocrisy. Although the following comments can be attributed to liberals of all stripes, in this case I specifically refer to Jews due to a) the Tree of Life massacre being against Jews specifically, b) my being Jewish and my constant amazement at the disconnect of those around me, c) my observances of the congregation, members and the Rabbi before and after the Pittsburgh massacre, and d) their ongoing attacks on everything conservative and Trump. Fact: Most Jews are Liberals guided more by "social justice" and liberal policy than facts,...

    Pabst Brewing Company and MillerCoors are going to trial, with hipster favorite Pabst contending that MillerCoors wants to put it out of business by ending a longstanding partnership through which it brews Pabst’s beers. The case has high stakes for Pabst, whose lawyers argue that the company’s very existence relies on the partnership with Chicago-based MillerCoors, which produces, packages and ships nearly all its products, which include Pabst Blue Ribbon, Old Milwaukee, Natty Boh and Lone Star. MillerCoors, meanwhile, says it’s not obligated to continue brewing for Pabst and that Pabst doesn’t want to pay enough to justify doing so....

    I left for vacation on Wednesday somewhat pleased about the election results, all things considered. I've been checking back in with the news periodically and am increasingly disturbed by what's going on in Florida and Arizona. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Democrats never accept defeat, ever. If I read my Twitter feed, it's incredible the amount of fraud and ballot stuffing going on in Broward county in detailed specifics. But, if I wade into leftist Twitter, it's like a different universe. "No evidence of voter fraud", "the president is undermining our elections", etc. It's as flabbergasting as it is...

    The 1946 Battle of Athens, Tennessee Investigations into Cantrell and Mansfield elections began when citizens noticed that many of the votes tallied included felons and deceased members of the county. As well as the returning veterans were routinely targeted by the Sheriff’s men as they made up roughly 10 percent of the county’s voting populous. An opposing non-partisan party to Cantrell and Mansfield was formed by the returning G.I.’s and thus the 1946 battle of Athens, Tennessee began.

    George Lopez has been charged over an altercation with a man who reportedly harassed him with pro-Trump rhetoric at a Hooters in New Mexico. Law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News that the actor and comedian was charged with misdemeanor battery over a clash that's said to have occurred after he allegedly tried to fight the man who attempted to film him while in a Las Cruces Hooters. Reps for Lopez did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment. The incident reportedly took place back in October when the actor was in Las Cruces filming a faith-based movie, “Walking...

    Michelle Obama says she felt alone after a miscarriage 20 years ago and she and Barack Obama underwent fertility treatments to conceive their two daughters, according to her upcoming memoir. In some of her most extensive public comments on her White House years, the former first lady also lets her fury fly over President Donald Trump's "bigotry and xenophobia" — dangerous, deliberate rhetoric, she wrote, that risked her family's safety. "For this," she writes, "I'd never forgive him." But it's her deeply personal account of her marriage to the future president that shed new light on the Ivy League-educated couple's...
