    A healthcare company’s regional president and her husband are accused of ditching their 6-month-old daughter in their tent on the beach during her nap time while the rest of the family went on a long walk along the shore Friday afternoon. Sara Sommers Wilks and her husband, Brian Wilks, were both arrested shortly after police responded to reports of an abandoned baby at Florida’s Miramar Beach around noon Friday. Sommers Wilks, 37, and Wilks, 40, told police that they’d “lost track of time” while on a walk with their three older children, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook....

    Thousands of civil liberties advocates gathered in London on Saturday to protest against the left-wing Labour Party government’s plan to impose digital ID cards on the nation. Marching from Marble Arch to Whitehall in central London, demonstrators were seen carrying banners and placards reading “No to Digital ID”, “If You Accept Digital ID Today, You’ve Accepted Social Credit Tomorrow”, and “Once Scanned, Never Free”. The protest came in response to plans mooted by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to roll out a “Brit Card” Digital ID scheme by 2029. Starmer initially pitched the plan as a means of combatting illegal...

    I see all the protesters today (How many are there, really. Inquiring minds want to know.) The visible age of the people in the short videos is pretty obvious. Actually, once you notice that, a lot of things become clear. For intsnce: We could clear up the government shutdown with over-the-counter medications. No need for embarrassment. When you are getting on in age, it's hard to keep yourself regular. Late-night TV ratings are completely understandable. Bedtime in the care home, dozing-off if you are still with your family, who can watch Kimmel or Colbert like we used to. Biden was...

    I see Adam Schiff as a poster boy for the Deep State. A scrawny bureaucrat who turned the House Intelligence Committee into a partisan circus, pushing hoaxes while burning through millions in our money, all while concealing his own skullduggery. Below are the twenty most outrageous Schiff reports. It’s weird because each reads like a case study in double standards. 1. Russia Collusion Hoax Mastermind Schiff brandished a manila envelope on live TV and swore he had “smoking‑gun proof” of Trump‑Russia treason. Behind closed doors, his committee quietly spent $32 million on an investigation later debunked as partisan fiction. He...
  • Students for Justice in Palestine Backs Gaza Executions: ‘Death to Collaborators’

    The national body of Students for Justice in Palestine backed Hamas’s grisly public executions of fellow Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, posting “Death to the Occupation, Death to Collaborators” on Instagram. The call for executions followed the murder of “journalist” Saleh Al-Jafarawi, known to critics as “Mr. FAFO” because he would post complaints about Israeli counterattacks after posting happily about Hamas attacks.

    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...

    AMUSE on X ^ | 18 Oct, 2025 | @AMUSE
    The so-called “No Kings” protest sweeping the nation, which is organizing nationwide demonstrations on October 18, 2025, across many major cities, is not a spontaneous cry for democracy but the latest orchestrated campaign by Indivisible, a network built by former congressional staffers and funded through George Soros’ Open Society empire. Founded in 2016 by Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, Indivisible began as a viral Google Doc that promised to teach progressives how to resist Donald Trump. Within weeks, the founders had transformed it into a professionalized operation flush with cash from the same sources that have quietly shaped left-wing activism...

    They’re really, really angry because they find it unforgivable that the American people voted for Trump. Did you hear that we marched against “kings” this weekend? Yes, who knows how many reminded us that they hate kings, dictators, authoritarians, and anything that rhymes with Trump. Yes, anything that rhymes with Trump. At the same time, please forgive some of us if we think that this bunch of marchers is just a little crazy, as Sasha Stone told us: “If the rule you are following has led you to this, of what use was the rule?” “Do you have any idea...

    People living in the West need to understand the Muslim mindset. At a time when America finds itself dealing with pro-terrorist rallies on college campuses, the U.S. government providing military arms and equipment to Islamic countries, and Americans deeply concerned about impending terrorist threats and Islamic law (sharia) being imposed and adjudicated in local communities, how does the average person come to understand these issues? How can an effective solution be reached when few really seem to know what is going on? It is helpful to begin with the understanding that the Islamic world sees everything through the same lens....

    They reject the will of voters and insist on ruling instead. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt really got under Democrats’ reptilian skin last week when she correctly noted, “The Democrat party’s main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.” Botoxed and unnaturally preserved devil-worshipers from Nancy Pelosi’s generation haven’t been this worked up since President Lincoln freed their slaves. House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries did his best Greta Thunberg impression by sinisterly glaring at television cameras and slinging “How dare you?” insults in Leavitt’s direction. There’s nothing that Democrats despise more than a person...

    Bolton, tariffs, the UN... Donald Trump just isn't tired of winning yet. If you’re reading this today, you probably did not join the aged hippies marching around with signs saying “No more Kings,”a multistate demonstration whose sponsors are not yet fully disclosed. (I don’t think Meghan and Harry are among them, though there are some foreign donors involved.) But rest assured, you didn't miss much. John Bolton: This Week in “No Man is Above the Law”The biggest domestic story of the week in my view was the indictment of former National Security Adviser John Bolton.

    For years, Silicon Valley and Wall Street seemed to have a monopoly on ambition. Tech and finance were the dream industries, places where ambition met prestige and paychecks stretched into six figures. But in 2025, that dream looks different.According to a new Click Intelligence report, the most desired job in the world right now isn't in AI, crypto, or venture capital. It's nursing.The study analyzed global Google search data across four categories: 'how to be [job title]', '[job title] courses', '[job title] career opportunities', and '[job title] salary.' When those numbers were combined, 'nurse' came out on top with more...
  • Millions of Americans Are Falling Behind on Car Payments — A Warning Sign for the Economy?

    10/18/2025 8:51:37 PM PDT · by SeekAndFind · 78 replies
    One of the key engines of the U.S. economy is starting to misfire and it’s happening in auto lending. Since the pandemic, car buyers have faced a costly mix: record sticker prices, shrinking dealer incentives, and higher borrowing costs. To make car ownership possible, more Americans, especially lower-income households, have turned to used vehicles and stretched loans out over longer terms. Now, the strain is showing. Delinquencies are rising, repossessions are climbing, and subprime borrowers are feeling the squeeze as wages stagnate and unemployment edges higher. On the surface, the economy still looks strong, but the auto market is one...
  • Daily Cocoa Cuts Inflammation by 70 Percent: Scientists discover why dark chocolate may help you live longer.

    Your daily hot cocoa might do more than warm you up—it could also prevent heart disease and the inflammation that drives it, according to a recent study. As we get older, our bodies become more inflamed, increasing our risks of developing chronic disease and dying. A large-scale study tracked people who took daily cocoa supplements for two years and found that body-wide inflammation stayed steady instead of rising—with the strongest effects in those who had higher inflammation at baseline. In the Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS) trial, daily cocoa extract supplements were linked to a 27 percent lower...

    Legal Insurrection ^ | 17 Oct, 2025 | Mary Chastain
    Something tells me Illinois will find a way to do it. When has that state ever followed rules or laws? Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is a disgusting person. MSNBC’s Jen Psaki asked Pritzker to elaborate on comments he made on Sunday about the ability to charge ICE agents with breaking state and local laws. Pritzker answered (so glad Pam Key of Breitbart transcribed this because I did not want to hear his voice): “We don’t know that anybody would be held accountable at the federal level. So we’re looking at all of the options at the local level with county...

    In a surprising departure from usual partisan rhetoric, prominent Republican figures, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and political commentator Tucker Carlson, have extended rare praise to New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, acknowledging his grassroots-focused campaign strategy, even as they continue to oppose his political ideology. Greene, who had earlier shared a doctored image of the Statue of Liberty in a burqa in response to Mamdani’s rise, has since revised her stance. Speaking on Steve Bannon’s podcast, she said, “He really ran a campaign where he talked directly to the people… Even though his solutions are insane and...
