Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) told Breitbart News exclusively that China’s intense international push for global dominance is the biggest threat that America has ever faced, even more substantial than the one that the Soviet Union posed in the 20th century during the Cold War. Continue reading “Sen. Marco Rubio: ‘The Chinese Effort to Supplant America Has No Precedent’”
Establishment elites have always had a predilection for regime change. Obviously, this strategy helps weed out nation states that might be uncooperative with their future plans for a fully centralized global economic and political order. We have also seen regime change occur when former puppet leaders go rogue and refuse to follow the script they have been given. Most of these men have acted as dictators and are not very empathetic public figures, so we rarely care when they get overthrown or murdered. That said, there are always wider implications to such events. Continue reading “Is Venezuela On The Verge Of Becoming Another Syria?”

The government of Hungary is poking billionaire globalist George Soros and the European Union again. On Tuesday, the government announced on its Facebook page that it is launching a new media campaign with the message that Soros and the EU are in favor of unchecked illegal immigration into the EU states, including Hungary.
Against the backdrop of an image showing a grinning Soros and EU President Jean-Claude Juncker, the post reads: “The government is launching an information mission on the Brussels plan for immigration. Everyone has the right to know the current proposals that are fundamentally endangering Hungary’s safety.” (Facebook translation from the original Hungarian) Continue reading “Hungary Launches New Ad Campaign Aimed at Soros and EU Immigration Policies”

By a slight margin, the North Dakota House voted down a so-called “stand your ground” bill that supporters said would “empower potential victims.”
House Bill 1497 failed by a vote of 41-49 on Wednesday. Rep. Jeff Magrum, R-Hazelton, introduced the bill to the House Judiciary Committee in January, which gave an 8-6 “do-pass” recommendation to the bill after amendments in committee work. Similar legislation failed in 2017.

For decades, voters have been lied to by politicians promising to crack down on immigration. We vote and we vote and we vote, and nothing ever changes. Wage-lowering, culture-destroying policies manage to appear in every bill Congress passes.
We finally got sick of it and voted for Trump. He promised to build a wall, deport illegal aliens and end the anchor baby scam. No matter how much the establishment screamed at him, he never backed down. Continue reading “Trump’s Failing. Don’t Ask Me To Lie About It”
A Coast Guard lieutenant arrested earlier this week on drug and gun charges was planning to commit domestic terrorism, according to a court filing from the U.S. District Court in Maryland.
In a motion filed Tuesday, U.S. attorneys said Christopher Hasson, a lieutenant in the U.S. Coast Guard who has served at the service’s headquarters in Washington since 2016, had a hit list of targets, a cache of guns and a series of communications with white supremacists. The first sentence in the motion imploring the court to detain Hasson pending trial: “The defendant intends to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country.” Continue reading “Coast Guard lieutenant accused of murder plot ‘on a scale rarely seen in this country’”

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a win Wednesday to a former heroin addict who argued that Indiana’s seizure of his $42,000 Land Rover amounted to an excessive fine for a drug conviction.
In a unanimous holding, the justices for the first time incorporated the 8th Amendment’s protection against excessive fines to the states. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who delivered the court’s opinion, wrote that the safeguard is “fundamental to our scheme of ordered liberty.” Continue reading “Supreme Court says states can’t impose excessive fines”
The head of the US Food and Drug Administration says that if states don’t require more schoolchildren to get vaccinated, the federal government might have to step in.
Nearly all states allow children to attend school even if their parents opt out of vaccines. These vaccine exemptions are especially popular in Washington state, where a measles outbreak started last month that has now sickened at least 67 people in four states. And New York has been working to contain its largest outbreak in decades, which began in October and has sickened more than 200 people. Continue reading “FDA chief: Federal government might step in if states don’t change lax vaccine laws”

The ugly Houston PD drug raid that resulted in four injured officers and two dead “suspects” just keeps getting uglier.
Officers swore a confidential informant purchased heroin from 59-year-old Dennis Tuttle in the house he shared with his wife of 21 years, Rhogena Nicholas. They swore the CI told them the house was filled with heroin packaged for purchase. Continue reading “Fatal Houston PD Drug Raid Apparently Predicated On Drugs A Cop Had Stashed In His Car”
Legendary cowboy actor and all-American tough guy John Wayne has posthumously infuriated social justice types, after a 1971 interview resurfaced in which the ‘True Grit’ actor criticized racial equality and homosexuality.
Speaking to Playboy magazine almost 50 years ago, Wayne unleashed a series of statements that would have him fired, sued, tarred and feathered if he uttered them in 2019. Wayne referred to “healthy, lusty sex” between a man and a woman as “wonderful,” but called homosexuality “perverted,” dismissing the Oscar-winning ‘Midnight Cowboy’ as “a love story about two f*gs.” Continue reading “John Wayne posthumously bashed for 1971 ‘white supremacist’, ‘homophobic’ Playboy interview”

Hey, the good thing about getting into a shootout with a stormtrooper is you know they’ll miss.
The California Highway Patrol tried to pull over a Ford Mustang for speeding on Sunday night, but the driver sped off. He wound up pulling over on a side street and he and his passenger ran away on foot, but the cops quickly tracked them down.
