Joe Wurzelbacher, otherwise known as ‘Joe The Plumber’ passed away at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer, a source confirmed to the Daily Caller. Wurzelbacher, who became well known during the 2008 presidential campaign after confronting former President Barack Obama about whether or not his tax plan would end up costing him more, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2023. Conservative radio host Derek Hunter shared the news of Wurzelbacher’s passing in a post on Twitter on Sunday afternoon. “Horrible news. My good friend Joe Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, passed away this morning at the age of
Nearly 50 years ago, the Concorde's first, non-stop transatlantic flight was the stuff of science fiction.
The sleek, supersonic, 203-foot tailless bird with a downturned nose scorched across the ocean and cast a shock wave over the water implying the promise of a new age of modern travel.
It seemed like a beginning.
It turned out to be an end.
On September 26, 1973, the Concorde's sprint from Washington D.C. to Paris took three and-a-half hours.
Today's Boeings cover that distance in more than twice that time.

No Tricks Zone publishes a summary of an article by Dr. Klaus-Dieter Döhler, a natural scientist and environmentalist, and Josef Kowatsch, a nature conservationist, that criticizes the global warming industry in Germany. Their criticisms apply equally to that industry in the U.S.
The authors point out that reality has refuted the tricked-up models that are the only basis for global warming hysteria: They write:
The business model “global warming” is mainly corrupt and is run by paid scientists and organizations and is headed by a super rich group of billionaires. Their aim is not to protect the climate, but to generate funds for themselves and their dubious machinations.

Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias angrily slammed arsonists in a televised briefing this week, saying, “You are committing a crime against the country.” BBC reported Aug. 25 that arsonists have several times tried to start fires on Mount Parnitha near Athens. “Arsonist scum are setting fires that threaten forests, property, and, most of all, human lives,”
General Motors is closing its IT Innovation Center in Chandler, Arizona, cutting 940 jobs.
The closing came as a major shock, ChandlerNews.com reported.
This location will close on Oct. 31, according to KTVK-TV. “Today’s announcement that GM plans to close its Arizona IT Innovation Center came as a complete surprise,” economic development director Micah Miranda said.
“We’ve recently been working with their local team about higher education partnerships, mentoring, and a promotional video highlighting Chandler’s Price Corridor. With this unfortunate news, we plan to work closely with our workforce development partners to assist with employment opportunities for those impacted,” Miranda said.

Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida's surgeon general, recommended this week people should not obey mask mandates and COVID-related lockdowns due to them not working to prevent the spread of the virus while having disastrous repercussions.
"What do you call re-imposing mask policies that have been proven ineffective or restarting lockdowns that are known to cause harm? You don't call it sanity. These terrible policies only work with your cooperation. How about refusing to participate…" Ladapo posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
If Vivek Ramaswamy were to become president, he wants to bring on Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump to advise him.
Asked Sunday why he would be more successful than Trump, the 2024 hopeful said he would 'build on the foundation' the ex-Prsident laid and seek his mentorship so he doesn't waste time learning the same lessons.
At a town hall in Iowa on Friday – just two days after the first Republican debate – the political outsider was asked who he would seek guidance from if elected. He said Musk would be one of those individuals.
President Joe Biden missed the Las Vegas Aces' celebratory trip to the White House after choosing to extend his vacation.
The WNBA champions headed to Washington on Friday, where they were instead met by Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
That is despite a previous announcement that both President Biden and the First Lady, Jill Biden, would be on hand to greet the record-breaking Aces.They defeated the Connecticut Sun in four games to win the WNBA Finals last year - it was the Aces' first title and also the first time a team from Las Vegas had claimed a major league professional sports title.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, a candidate for the GOP nomination, said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that that he was “confident” former President Donald Trump would not be the 2024 GOP nomination.

I remain confident, more confident after Wednesday night, that Republican nominee will not be the former president.” He continued, “We’re going to give the American people the standard bearer for the GOP that’s going to be able to lead us to victory against Joe Biden and the radical left.

Now that country music star Oliver Anthony has hit millions of playlists across America, Edwin Snowden said he probably made a different type of list as well.
Snowden is the polarizing National Security Administration whistleblower who revealed the United States was keeping files on its own citizens through a vast network of snooping. Snowden is currently living in Russia, as he is wanted by the U.S., but connected to America enough to know about Anthony’s rise to fame.
“After hitting topping the iTunes list and tweeting like this, the FBI will be making space for him another kind of list, too,” Snowden tweeted.
Donald Trump's legal spokeswoman Alina Habba said the ex-President doesn't need any 'prep' for the four different criminal cases against him because he did 'nothing wrong.'
It comes as Trump's legal calendar runs into the primary election cycle while he remains by far the highest polling and most likely candidate to win the nomination to take on President Joe Biden in 2024.
Habba dismissed the trials as 'theatrics' and told Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream that the trial dates will be moved because it's 'unrealistic' to expect Trump to be at two different trials in two different states in a short period of time.

The vice president’s attempt to score points on “Women’s Equality Day” was doused by a reality check from Riley Gaines: “This is satire, right?”
Since the onset of their administration, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have stood as champions of leftist causes to erode women’s spaces, expose children to sexual content, and far too many cause irreversible harm to further transgenderism.
Saturday, as Harris gaslighted with snippets from an array of previously delivered word salads, former NCAA swimmer and Independent Women’s Forum advisor Gaines spoke to what the policies Democrats have embraced have actually been doing to women’s rights.
As President Joe Biden's open border continues to wreak havoc on the United States, one Democratic city is suffering the consequences.
Over the weekend, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) sent its tenth bus full of illegal migrants to Los Angeles just days after its mayor criticized the border state for sending migrants.
Democrat Mayor Karen Bass got a rude awakening when a bus of 39 illegal migrants showed up on her doorstep.
The bus, which included 12 families and 21 children, was sent five days after Abbott sent the ninth shipment to the liberal city during Tropical Storm Hillary.

— “The Worst President in History,” Matt Margolis & Mark Noonan...
Is Joe Biden the worst, the most depraved, blundering, and corrupt president in American history, as many have now come to believe? Victor Davis Hanson refers to the Biden clan as “likely the most corrupt presidential family in American history.” Vito Corleone was a Boy Scout compared to Joe Biden. Indeed, Biden is so unprincipled and degenerate a specimen of humanity as to seem almost fictional, a Manchurian president intent on humiliating, perverting, and ultimately bringing down the country he is sworn to honor and represent.
Israel will have partial laser defenses by this time next year, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems chairman Yuval Steinitz told Army Radio on Sunday.
"One year from now – Israel will be the first country to have partial laser protection. In two years there may be complete protection – against missiles, shells, rockets, or anything else. This will protect us both in the South and in the North," said Steinitz.
Israel's push for laser air defenses
This past February, senior Defense Ministry official Brig.-Gen. (res.) Danny Gold said Israel’s air-defense lasers,
Truthful and comprehensive journalism is at the heart of whether we will continue to devolve, or whether we regain our national footing. By their nature, journalists have a platform with the public, and a tremendous ability to influence it; people believing in and then acting on erroneous information yields destructive consequences. In this way, journalists as a whole advertently support the interests of the Democrat Destroyers; think of the “every man for himself” hysteria stories or the suppression of the efficacy of certain medicinal drugs when COVID first appeared.
Mr. Dooley, the alter ego of humorist Finley Peter Dunne, famously uttered this about the function of journalism:
.
We have so many beautiful sites here in the South, and I love living in an area where I have easy access to the beach and the mountains. There’s nothing like getting out in nature, even if it’s just the woods behind my house.
I often hear people talk about communing with God in nature, and while we have to avoid the trap and temptation to become more devoted to the created things than to the Creator Himself, it’s easy to see how people can become closer to God when they experience His creation.
John Calvin called creation the “theater of the glory of God.”
A preseason game between the Dolphins and Jaguars in Jacksonville was called off Saturday evening after rookie Miami wide receiver Daewood Davis was injured and carted off the field. With 8:35 to play, Dolphins quarterback James Blackman attempted to find Davis over the middle but missed. Jacksonville linebacker Dequan Jackson leveled the 24-year-old rookie, drawing a flag for unnecessary roughness as Davis lied motionless on the turf. As both teams gathered around him, Davis was eventually removed from the field and the game canceled. In a tweet, Miami announced that Davis "suffered an injury in tonight’s game and has been
Here we go again— the Biden Administration has plans to roll out a new COVID-19 vaccine this fall, requiring Americans to get another jab.
Despite declaring earlier this year that COVID is no longer a threat, President Joe Biden said his administration will "likely" recommend that all Americans receive the updated booster, including children.
Over the weekend, the president told reporters that he plans to ask Congress for additional funds to develop a new vaccine, adding that he may force everyone to take it whether they previously received the initial vaccine.
"Yes, I can," Biden said.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One person is dead and five others are hurt after a shooting on Market Street in downtown Louisville.
During a news briefing, LMPD Major Shannon Lauder said the shooting happened at the Southern Restaurant and Lounge around 3:00 a.m. Sunday.

Analysis: In First Debate, a Shadow War
Between Establishment Reaganism and Insurgent Trumpism replies
Between Establishment Reaganism and Insurgent Trumpism replies
It's not hard to understand why so many Republicans admire Ronald Reagan.
"The Great Communicator" sparked a conservative revival that fractured the remnants of the left-wing New Deal coalition. As president, he helped end the Soviet Union, winning the Cold War.
Forty-three years after the Reagan Revolution, and eight years after former President Donald J. Trump changed the game again, none of the Republicans who convened for the first presidential primary debate on Aug. 23 repudiated President Reagan. Even President Trump cited a move by President Reagan as precedent for his decision to skip the debate.
U.S. President Joe Biden said Friday he plans to request more money from Congress to develop a fresh coronavirus vaccine, adding he may require everyone to take it whether they have been previously vaccinated or not.
“I signed off this morning on a proposal we have to present to the Congress, a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works,” Biden, who is vacationing in the Lake Tahoe area, told reporters.
He added it’s “tentatively” recommended “that everybody get it,” once the new shots are ready and out of the lab.
The Republican primary debate charade, hosted by a hapless Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, revealed two things: Vivek Ramaswamy is a rising star, and Donald Trump dominated as the elephant not in the room. The Democrats and the media run a constant clown show, but the Republicans play along as useless puppets, willfully participating in a system designed to destroy them. The Republican party is allowing itself to be rigged by playing by the rules of an old system that no longer exists. The Democrats, bureaucracy, and media are vicious apparatchiks. They are a dirty and obvious enemy who clearly need to be fought.
Furious 9/11 families have urged the Biden administration not to spare the attackers the death penalty and have demanded the release of documents that could finally implicate Saudi Arabia.
Brett Eagleson, who was 15 when he lost his father in the South Tower almost 22 years ago, called the proposed plea deal for the suspects awaiting trial at Guantanamo Bay a 'sickening betrayal.'
For Eagleson, a plea deal would mean the suspects can avoid trial and avoid revealing answers relatives of the 2,977 Americans killed in the attack have had an agonizing wait to hear.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this weekend. Bartiromo opened up the discussion asking McCarthy if he will launch an impeachment investigation.
McCarthy balked once again. This guy is so weak. Democrats are destroying the country on every front. They are stealing our freedoms and have indicted the leading Republican with 91 bogus charges on speech charges. And McCarthy is still talking about someday, possibly, if the stars align, he will open an impeachment inquiry!
Is the NRA Still Relevant?
replies
When it comes to guns, the Second Amendment, gun control, and all that it entails, the most common denominator is the Nationa Rifle Association of America. The NRA was established on November 17, 1871, with the mission of advancing rifle marksmanship, firearm safety, and competency. They claim to be the oldest civil rights organization in America, older even than the ACLU.
I, for one, am a Life Member of the NRA because they do perform and support great services like marksmanship training and standards, amongst many others. I also have certifications as a Range Safety Officer, as well as a rifle, pistol, and shotgun instructor.
Tropical Depression Ten has formed near the Yucatán Peninsula in the western Caribbean, according to the National Hurricane Center. It could become a hurricane by Tuesday afternoon and make landfall in Florida as early as Wednesday.
A tropical storm warning has been issued for the Yucatán in Mexico from Tulum to Rio Lagartos, including Cozumel. A tropical storm watch has also been issued for the western tip of Cuba in the provinces of Pinar Del Rio and the Isle of Youth.
The depression is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm on Sunday as it meanders in the Yucatán Channel. By Monday, the system will begin moving north,
With voting still months away, the most important part of the first Republican presidential debate might have been the dispute between former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
That’s not because either of them left Milwaukee as the likeliest Republican nominee, though both of them saw more buzz associated with their campaigns after Wednesday night. Haley and Ramaswamy occupy opposite poles of the GOP on issues like foreign policy — and how much the party has been permanently reshaped by former President Donald Trump or will revert to its pre-Trump form whenever he passes from the scene.
On Saturday, a gunman opened fire in Jacksonville, FL, killing three individuals. According to law enforcement, the shooter, who is white, had left behind several writings indicating the shootings were racially motivated.
It wasn't long before the press moved beyond just reporting the facts on the ground and into politicizing the matter, though. As expected, because one nutjob (who police say was not part of a larger group) did something terrible, the press immediately moved to suggest Republicans were at fault. Of course, such standards don't apply when a far-left militant transgender shooter kills six people at a Christian school in Nashville, but that kind of media hypocrisy
Brian Kemp told Georgia voters on Saturday at a fish fry, “If you give anybody a voting machine they can hack it.”
This took place at the 8th District GOP fish fry in Perry, Georgia.

GA voter: What did you just say? If you give anybody a voting machine, they can hack it? Wow! Brian Kemp: (nods in agreement – his wife looks nervous in the background)

Brian Kemp: We got transparency. Brady: No, we don’t.
Brian Kemp’s daughter: It’s not worth it, sir.

Three U.S. Marines died Sunday after their Osprey aircraft came down during war games on a remote tropical island on the northern tip of Australia. Another 20 were injured with five flown to a hospital in a “serious condition.”
Twenty-three personnel were on board a fully loaded Bell MV-22B Osprey when it crashed on Melville Island, 30 miles off the coast from Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory.
Five were flown to Royal Darwin Hospital in a serious condition with one classified as “critical.” The recovery efforts are ongoing.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a new job assistance program to benefit the illegal aliens who have descended on the state at a time when 380,000 of her own citizens are out of work.
The Democrat-controlled sanctuary state has been the nation’s top beneficiary of President Joe Biden’s open-border immigration policies, with the majority of the tens of thousands of new arrivals who have mostly settled in New York City, overwhelming the local government’s ability to house them.
Hochul, who is pleading with the Biden administration to speed up the process of providing migrant work permits, rolled out the Empire State’s own jobs program,
A white gunman fatally shot three Black people in what was a hate-motivated shooting at a Dollar General retailer in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday afternoon, Sheriff T.K. Waters said.
"This shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people," the sheriff said at a news conference. "He wanted to kill n------. "That's the one and only time I'll use that word," Waters said, referring to the racial slur. The shooter, who wore a tactical vest and was armed with an AR-style rifle and Glock handgun, had left messages for his parents, the media and federal law enforcement officials detailing racial hatred, Waters said.

Conspiracy theories continue to circulate around the drowning death of the Obamas’ personal chef Tafari Campbell, due to what one media outlet is calling a “cover-up” by the Massachusetts police.
“Police in Massachusetts are continuing to cover up information about the death of Obama personal chef Tafari Campbell even after declaring the case closed this week,” DailyMail.com reports.
Of particular interest to online sleuths is the unnamed female companion that was reportedly with Campbell, a seemingly strong swimmer, when he drowned in shallow water while paddle boarding near Barack Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard summer home.

Florida lawyer Lawrence Caplan filed a challenge in federal court earlier this week, arguing that former President Donald Trump cannot run for president because of the 14th Amendment.
Caplan pointed to a clause in the amendment that says those who “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the government cannot hold office.
“The bottom line here is that President Trump both engaged in an insurrection and also gave aid and comfort to other individuals who were engaging in such actions, within the clear meaning of those terms as defined in Section Three of the 14th Amendment,” Caplan wrote in the filing,
The processing of former President Donald Trump in the Fulton County jail followed a familiar pattern. First came the mugshot, then the merchandise. Both the left and the right immediately started selling mugs and t-shirts featuring the scowling image of Inmate P01135809.

The definition of "vindictive" is to have or show a "strong or unreasoning desire for revenge." As an observer of the ongoing humiliation and persecution currently directed toward Donald J. Trump and anyone who supports him, what America may now be witnessing is an unparalleled display of malicious revenge.
One might ask, "Who is driving this retribution?" The most obvious answer to that question is that it must be a self-absorbed force with a notorious reputation for spiteful exoneration. Judging from past conduct, that force would be none other than former president Barack Obama.
Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips of True the Vote (TTV) believe they have the goods to prove that “Trump was right” about the 2020 election in Georgia. Their work concerning the state’s voter rolls allegedly proves that at the time of Raffenperger’s Nov. 20, 2020 certification, there were, according to Engelbrecht, “364,000 ineligible voter records,” of which approximately 67,000 actually voted in the 2020 election. UncoverDC spent some time this week talking with Engelbrecht about TTV’s investigation of Georgia’s voter rolls.
For several years, news reports have chronicled how tens of thousands of wealthy and middle-class families have been fleeing New York City and state for less expensive and safer destinations.
More recently, news reports have chronicled how more than 100,000 illegal immigrants who crossed the southern border and claimed asylum have come to the city, with 60,000 of them living free of charge in publicly-funded hotels and shelters.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that InfoWars published insider information that alleges the TSA and US Border Patrol will be moving back to 2020-era COVID-19 mandates and restrictions starting in mid-September through mid-October, to include mask mandates on all flights. This is in addition to the confirmed mask-mandate reinstatement at Morris Brown College in Atlanta, GA, and Lionsgate Studios in Santa Monica, CA.

As of publication, Tucker’s tweet of the full interview has “260M views” on Twitter.

As of last year, the interview with the highest viewership ever was Oprah Winfrey’s 1993 interview of Michael Jackson, which had a global audience of 90 million. The numbers put Tucker’s interview of Trump as the new winner,

It may seem like small potatoes at a time of political lawfare, gross government mismanagement leading to at least 1,000 dead in Maui, the prospect of continuing war in Ukraine, and high inflation, but the government’s use of its powers to beset us on a daily basis and make life more expensive, less efficient, and more dreary is evident every day. Two things that come to mind -- and there are, I concede, many more -- are urban bike lanes and administrative fiddling with everything from light bulbs to home appliances.
On Friday’s broadcast of “The Issue Is,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated that the issue of retail theft in the city has “nothing to do” with a lack of consequences for crime in the city and “things like this happen” when there are profits.
Bass said, “Well, you know what, things like this happen when there [are] profits to be made, and law enforcement put the task force together that I’m supportive of, and it has a number of different agencies, the city attorney, the district attorney, etc., all at the table.
