Out-of-Control Teen Takeovers Now Sparking
Fear Across July 4 Weekend

As we move into this great weekend, a weekend that should be devoted to patriotic celebrations, fireworks, burgers on the grill and cold beers in the cooler, many of our major urban areas are instead having to worry about another wave of what's being euphemistically called "teen takeovers," or, in other words, riots, in which packs of feral youths invade the city streets, leaving destruction and mayhem in their wake. The cities affected are making an effort now to head these events off with a combination of technology and curfews. Will it work? That remains to be seen.
The Heroes Who Made July 4 Possible replies

The Fourth of July is undoubtedly a special time for every American. It is an opportunity to reflect on the meaning and origin of American freedom. It is a day full of picnics, parades, barbecues, and fireworks. It is a highlight of patriotism and a celebration of proud sovereignty and independence. Two hundred and fifty years ago, July 4 wasn’t marked by the festivities we experience today. July 4, 1776, was mired in a time of uncertainty, sacrifice, fear, and desperation. Yet through all this, bravery, courage, and perseverance persisted, and a nation was born. There is no way we can put ourselves in the shoes of the American colonists,

What a photo. Tomorrow marks our 250th birthday, but it’s always a great time to be an American. Well, when isn’t it? We all know this country is great, despite what the blue-haired freaks and the liberal media clowns say. The World Cup has crushed any propaganda they had, as a) it’s now the most-attended tournament in FIFA history, and b) Europeans constantly post loving comments about the culture, the food, the hospitality, and the air conditioning. Oh, and Japanese fans are loving Texas barbecue. Yet in 1984, the Statue of Liberty underwent a renovation, leading to this iconic photo of a worker kissing Liberty's forehead. It wasn’t without risk.

A U.S. Army captain will serve 12 years in military prison after he pleaded guilty to secretly slipping his pregnant girlfriend, another soldier, a mail-order abortion drug that killed their unborn baby. Capt. Brandon Jones-Adams impregnated a junior enlisted soldier when the two became romantically involved on rotation in South Korea in May 2025. A couple of months later, the pair was reassigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington.
Remembering America’s Bicentennial Spirit replies

This year’s America 250 celebrations are the biggest national celebration since the Bicentennial. We’re a much different nation than we were back then. Even a few years after Watergate and President Richard Nixon’s resignation, the urge to politicize everything just didn’t dominate people’s minds. I was only three in the summer of 1976, so my memories of the Bicentennial aren’t all that vivid. I remember seeing the logo everywhere and hearing people talk about it, but the only specific memory I have is seeing the parade of the tall ships on television. My mom said that the parade of ships is her only strong memory of the Bicentennial

Explosive testimony before the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets reveals decades of CIA crimes against unwitting Americans, evidence destruction, secret torture sites in Germany, and a continuing deep state effort to hide the truth from Congress and the American people. Rep.

The two teen suspects wanted in the murder of Penn State student Billy Schmidt have been taken into custody. 22-year-old Billy Schmidt was studying journalism at Penn State and was set to graduate this December. Schmidt was killed last month as he was returning home from an NBA Finals watch party at a bar when the two armed suspects fatally shot him. The suspects, identified as 16-year-old Azzubair Outen-Fleming and Kaiseem Smith, 16, shot Schmidt in the chest in an attempted robbery ambush. Azzubair Outen-Fleming was arrested in Colorado on Friday. Kaiseem Smith turned himself in to the Philadelphia police.

Former Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, gives a speech outlining the mechanics of the Deep State and how the people within it operate. At around 3:30 of the presentation, Gabbard gives a specific example of the attitude of the employees on assignment to the ODNI. Obviously, I am not certain, but Tulsi seems to be describing the FBI liaison desk within the DNI as she explains how this federal government employee refuses to participate in the DNI request.

Can Europe Be Saved? replies

As a result of third-world migration–some say, invasion–much of Western Europe is no longer recognizable. Mass third-world immigration is unpopular nearly everywhere, but European elites, being unhappy with their populaces, seem determined to replace them. Campaigners including Eva Vlaardingerbroek and Martin Sellner have proposed the Save Europe Act, which you can read about here. The proposal strikes me as entirely reasonable. It petitions the European Union to exercise its right of initiative to propose legislation that would declare a moratorium on non-European, non-Western immigration; fundamentally reform EU migration and asylum systems; ensure and accelerate the return of illegal migrants; establish an EU-wide framework to incentivize voluntary remigration; and remove

One of the many ways Democrats continue to prove how pathetic they’ve become, and how they have no ideas to better the lives of regular Americans, is their endless attempts to scandalize Trump administration projects intended to repair and beautify the nation’s capital. It baffles me that cleaning up Columbus Circle, outside the major D.C. travel hub, Union Station, is somehow controversial. Democrats would rather the fountain was still covered in pro-Hamas graffiti and didn’t, you know, actually work. They’ve really worked themselves into a lather over Trump’s actions to reseal the bottom of the iconic Reflecting Pool and fix leaks.

Sen. Mitch McConnell remains hospitalized, his office said in a statement Thursday — without offering details about a recent medical episode that has renewed concern about the health of the former Republican majority leader. McConnell “continues his recovery in the hospital” and “continues to improve,” his office said. “Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” the statement said. “The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.” The statement did not explain why he was hospitalized last month.

After 9/11, there was a lot of talk about ‘radical Islam.’ There is no ‘radical Islam’ or ‘moderate Islam’, but lately there is more of a trend of middle class white women becoming radicalized on social media, supporting Islamic terrorists and sometimes converting to Islam. To some degree this is just BLM 2.0 or Transgender 3.0 with bored empty people becoming caught up in social media contagion. But it’s also an entry point for the enemies of our country who are happy enough to recruit these useful idiots.

The Trump administration has officially ended the federal government's decades-old paper retirement processing system, replacing a notoriously slow, manual operation housed inside a former Pennsylvania limestone mine with a fully digital process. The milestone, dubbed the "Last Day of Paper" by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), marks one of the Department of Government Efficiency's biggest victories after years of failed reform efforts. Located more than 230 feet underground in Boyers, Pennsylvania, the OPM retirement processing center stored more than 400 million paper records and manually processed roughly 10,000 federal retirement applications every month. Strangely though, for decades, retirement paperwork was physically mailed between agencies before arriving

The CIA investigated thousands of unvaccinated employees as if they were potential foreign espionage and sabotage threats, a new class action lawsuit alleges. In September 2021, former President Joe Biden mandated that federal employees and contractors receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Shortly after, the CIA’s chief operating officer directed the Counter Espionage Department (CED) to begin investigating employees and contractors who did not comply, the lawsuit alleges. Former CIA officer James Erdman, who uncovered Langley’s alleged surveillance of its own unvaccinated employees, said in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation that he repeatedly pressed CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s office to remove the marks on unvaccinated employees’ personnel files

The 26th president’s new library is set to open on the Fourth of July in Bismarck, North Dakota. Despite being a New Yorker by birth and spending a considerable portion of his early career in politics there, Roosevelt had a love of the great outdoors. He sought refuge in the Dakota Badlands territory in 1884 as he grieved the death of his first wife and his mother, who died on the same day. Wednesday saw the 45th and 47th president pay his respects to the life of the 26th president, delivering a

The father of socialist Melat Kiros (D), who unseated 15-term Rep. Diana DeGette (D) in Colorado’s first congressional district Democrat primary this week, legally immigrated to the United States when his daughter was an infant thanks to the federal government’s Diversity Visa Lottery. Running on Medicare for All, abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), mass amnesty for illegal aliens, and so-called “restorative justice programs,” Kiros, 29 years old, was able to defeat DeGette, who has served in Congress since 1997. Kiros’s website details her immigration history, mainly that her father was a beneficiary of the Diversity Visa Lottery in May 1997, just weeks after her birth.

During an appearance on Texas Impact’s Weekly Witness, Talarico argued that legislation restricting gender-affirming care for transgender minors and Texas’s abortion ban stemmed from what he called a “Christofascism movement.” (X) “You saw it in the anti-LGBTQ legislation, including the bill that would have denied gender-affirming health care to trans children,” Talarico said. “And then, of course, famously, infamously, we saw it last session with the most extreme abortion ban in the country. All of these ideologies stem from this Christofascism movement.”

Another poll released this week, which had Platner up by two, also contained some big warning signs for his campaign, indicating his extensive baggage is starting to catch up with him to the point that it has cost him support - even among voters who say Democrats winning back the Senate is a top priority.
