In her first-ever sit-down interview, Delicia Cole chose LindellTV and GP’s Cara Castronuova to talk with.
Republicans have spent weeks accusing Texas State Rep. James Talarico, a Democrat representing the 50th District, of faking a rightward shift on transgender issues as he pursues statewide office.alist for the Daily Wire recorded Rev. Babs Miller, a minister at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, discussing Talarico and his apparent effort to broaden his political appeal.
The church has long been associated with Talarico.
If you needed another reminder why this year’s midterm elections are so important, Barack Hussein Obama II is back to make the case: Democrats intend to seize control over artificial intelligence and shape it to their advantage. The former president, who has refused to exit the political stage a decade after leaving office, wants his communist-curious comrades to scare voters about potential threats from AI in the final weeks of election season (Remember when we used to vote in person and tally all those votes in a single day?)
Obama is a blowhard, but he knows how to tap into voter fears for maximum political leverage. When he entered the White House, race relations between black and white Americans were at a historic high. Obama enjoyed extremely high approval ratings because Republicans who voted against him hoped that his presidency would heal any remaining racial wounds.
The U.S. Department of Education has confirmed it has launched an investigation into a Massachusetts school district that is forcibly “transing” a young girl over her family’s objections.
“Following reports that school officials allegedly facilitated a ‘gender transition’ of a CHILD without parental consent, ED has launched an investigation into the Public Schools of Northborough and Southborough in Massachusetts to determine whether the district violated federal law,” the department’s statement said.
PJMedia commented, “Hopefully, ED holds both the school district and the state authorities to account for continuing to break federal regulations banning LGBTQ grooming of young kids. Furthermore, what the school district and the Massachusetts authorities did really was kidnapping, or would be considered so in a sane world. The parents have a constitutional right to freedom of religion, but because their Catholicism precludes affirming transgender ideology, they are still trying to regain custody of their daughter.”
WorldNetDaily previously reported the case where the family continues to try to protect the girl, a teen, from the chemical agenda of the state.
“Here, a public school is ‘stuck on stupid’ by engaging in the willful and dehumanizing practice of destroying both family and child. This school should be closed permanently,” Walt Heyer, senior fellow at Family Research Council, told the Washington Stand. “The school abused the child emotionally and psychologically, causing lifelong damage. My life was destroyed by the trans insanity. Stop the madness.”
Heyer experienced the transgender ideology, living as a woman for years, before seeing the fallacies involved and returning to his male identity.
The Washington Stand said, “In 2024, the 15-year-old child was removed from the home of Joseph and Arlene Kutzko after they say she was secretly socially ‘transitioned’ at Algonquin Regional High School. Now, they’re fighting to get her back before she is medically ‘transitioned’ on high-dose testosterone
The complaint says courts have recognized a pattern of Dearborn preferencing Islam over other religions, in violation of U.S. law.
public interest law firm filed a lawsuit today against the city of Dearborn, Michigan, for allegedly establishing Islam as a religion in violation of the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws. The American Freedom Law Center is pursuing the suit on behalf of Dearborn resident and Federalist Senior Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland.
“The lawsuit alleges that City officials spent public funds and used City property to promote and celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan while refusing Cleveland’s repeated requests that the City extend the same recognition to Christian and Jewish holidays — and that Mayor [Abdullah] Hammoud and other City officials retaliated against Cleveland for speaking out about the disparity,” says an AFLC press release.
The complaint filed Thursday alleges that the city of Dearborn has spent public funds for years to commemorate Islamic holidays but not the holidays of other religions such as Christianity and Judaism. It says AFLC and Cleveland have made numerous requests, by email and at city council meetings, that the city give equal treatment to religions with public funds and avoid a lawsuit. City officials not only failed to respond, the complaint says, but Hammoud directed the city attorney to tell city council members not to respond.
“I don’t have a problem with people of faith exercising their deeply held beliefs,” Cleveland said in a phone call Wednesday. “I have a problem with people supporting or excusing terrorism and antisemitism and establishing a religion and discriminating against people of other faiths.” She emphasized that she is not seeking the removal of Islamic religious expression but asking the city to comply with its constitutional obligations to treat all religious expression equally.
Michigan Senate candidate and fellow Muslim Abdul El-Sayed endorsed Hammoud’s campaign for mayor in 2021, and Hammoud in turn is an El-Sayed supporter and donor. El-Sayed has also embraced prominent supporters of Islamist terrorism.
Mahmoud and his chief of staff, Zaineb Hussein, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday morning. If the city replies, this article will be updated accordingly.
Last year’s deep freeze has come back to haunt Ocean Pines in the form of a six-figure state wastewater bill.
The county owes $275,940 in Bay Restoration Fees after going two quarters without collecting the state’s $15 quarterly “flush tax” from Ocean Pines wastewater customers.
Worcester County officials have postponed a decision about whether to pay that bill from the district’s reserves – or pass the cost directly on to customers.
Commissioners voted 4–3 Tuesday to wait until Oct. 6 for a recommendation from the Ocean Pines Water and Sewer Advisory Council on how to cover the bill.
The problem dates to early 2025, when months of bitter cold weather chilled wastewater inside the treatment tanks to an average of about 50 degrees. The plant is designed to operate at no less than 54 degrees.
At those temperatures, the bacteria fell dormant and could not remove enough nitrogen. As a result, nitrogen levels rose above the state’s cutoff, costing Ocean Pines its exemption from the fee.
Since then, county officials have pursued an appeal on multiple fronts with the Maryland Department of the Environment, according to County Administrator Weston Young.
Maryland highway officials are planning to put a traffic light at Route 50 and Whaleyville Road, one of Worcester County’s most dangerous intersections.
The announcement came just one day after a two-vehicle crash at the intersection 10 miles west of Berlin that shut down the roadway and sent five people to the hospital. Maryland State Police are investigating.
Worcester County Commissioner President Ted Elder (District 4, Western) said most crashes seem to occur as motorists cross the westbound lanes of Route 50 from Whaleyville Road (Route 610) into the median.
“It’s probably the worst intersection in Worcester County,” he said at Tuesday’s commissioners meeting in Snow Hill. “I’m not a traffic expert, but we need to find some way to alleviate that, and the sooner the better.”
Mark Crampton, District 1 engineer for the State Highway Administration, said the traffic signal design should be completed by this time next year. He did not provide a construction date.
He agreed that the intersection, located near the Worcester-Wicomico county line, ranks highest in Worcester County for the number and severity of crashes. He called the signal its “number one priority.”
Six weeks after commissioners bitterly clashed over the fate of a multimillion-dollar rainy-day fund, Worcester County will all but drain the account to bolster its mandatory reserve ahead of several big-ticket bond issues.
The county will move approximately $14.5 million from the $15.2 million Budget Stabilization Fund, leaving roughly $700,000 behind.
“I think this is a great use of the money in the slush fund,” said Commissioner Joe Mitrecic, who proposed setting aside even more than county staff had requested.
The higher reserve requirement took effect with the Worcester County Commissioners’ unanimous vote Tuesday. The money was slated to be transferred this week.
The decision increased the county’s reserve requirement to 20% – above the 17% minimum recommended by the county’s bond consultant, Davenport. Each percentage point requires about $2.9 million, according to Deputy County Administrator Candace Savage.
Before Tuesday’s vote, county policy required officials to hold the equivalent of 15% of annual general fund spending in reserve and replenish the account within two years if its balance fell below that threshold. The commissioners last raised the requirement in 2023, going from from 12% to 15%.
The money is not being spent, only moved. Under county policy, commissioners determine when emergency or contingency conditions justify tapping the account.
The company licensed to open Worcester County’s third cannabis dispensary was exploring a potential location in West Ocean City as recently as late August while simultaneously moving toward site plan approval for a dispensary in Pocomoke City.
Even as Pocomoke City officials advanced its plans for a dispensary in a long-vacant former restaurant on Route 13, Guru Ventures was considering a location on the Francis Scott Key property along Route 50, according to emails provided by the county to OC Today-Dispatch.
The company’s state-issued license authorizes one dispensary in Worcester County. It could not operate both locations under that license.
When reached for comment, licensee Shreif Shata said the hotel site had been “formally denied,” but declined to identify who issued the denial or provide a copy of any written decision.
“Old news, can’t be done with the property,” Shata said in a text message.
Worcester County officials, however, described their review as limited and left open a potential route to approval.
Planning Director Jennifer Keener said Guru Ventures’ initial request was general and did not include specific development plans. The county therefore focused on identifying a potential conflict with separation-distance requirements.
About 20 Berlin property owners will receive letters soon notifying them that their water consumption exceeds the amount allocated to them by the town.
The town, however, will give these property owners a way to come into compliance without paying the full cost for the amount used.
Water allocations are measured in “Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs),” which are based on the average water use of a single-family household. One EDU represents an average of 250 gallons per day of usage. When new businesses, specifically, open in Berlin, the town code says there will be a 24-month monitoring period to determine if additional EDUs are required. A two-year review of multiple businesses found around 20 businesses will need to buy additional capacity to continue to operate at current levels.
Under the policy discussed by the mayor and Town Council Monday night, property owners who need to buy additional EDUs will have the option to pay 10% up front, along with a 5% administrative fee, and finance the remaining cost over 24 months for one to three new EDUs or up to 60 months for four or more EDUs.
Resort planners will seek public input on a zoning amendment that will authorize the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on property already accommodating single-family detached houses.
In July, planning personnel came before the City Council to discuss a new state mandate requiring local governments to adopt laws that facilitate the construction of the accessory housing units. The goal, according to the state Department of Planning, is to help solve a 96,000-unit housing shortage and create affordable housing options for Marylanders.
At the council’s direction, staff this summer began drafting an ordinance using the state’s requirements. Now, the Ocean City Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Oct. 6 to get the public’s views on the subject.
“This is a state mandate, a state requirement,” Planning and Community Development Director George Bendler told planning commission members on Tuesday. “All municipalities within the state of Maryland are going under the same guidelines of what the state legislature told us we can and can’t do.”
Currently, the city allows accessory structures on single-family lots – for example, a converted room above a garage. However, once those units include kitchens, it becomes a separate dwelling unit, which is currently not allowed in single-family residential districts.
Goldman Sachs commodity experts Yulia Zhestkova Grigsby and Daan Struyven warned in a Wednesday note that the global diesel crisis is tightening gasoline supplies as refiners prioritize higher-margin diesel production. This shift raises the risk of further gasoline price increases ahead of the US midterm elections. The US national average diesel price has already reached a record $6.40 a gallon, adding to household and business fuel costs.
“The key reason for this new recommendation is that refiners’ switching output from gasoline to diesel is rapidly tightening gasoline markets, where less elevated price levels leave room for sharp price upside if the Mideast and Russia-Ukraine conflicts continued to constrain refining output for longer or if more energy infrastructure were damaged,” the analysts wrote.
In the note titled “High Diesel Prices Cause High Gasoline Prices,” the analysts recommended that clients buy European gasoline for June 2027 delivery, saying that there’s more upside to the rally if wars in the Middle East and Ukraine continue disrupting supplies. They added that they closed a European diesel spread recommendation with a potential gain of 45%, saying diesel already incorporates a substantial premium for further disruptions.
Supply Troubles: Global Diesel & Gasoline Exports Tumbled
A would-be thief got more than he bargained for recently, when an alert gas station customer in Chicago with a concealed carry permit pulled out a gun and shot him.
After the shooting, the thief hobbled away from the scene as quickly as possible.
There would probably be a lot less crime if aspiring criminals were made to watch incidents like this one.
FOX 32 in Chicago reports:
Mortgage rates climbed for the fourth week in a row, driving the average long-term US home loan rate to just below 7%, its highest level in over 19 months.
The benchmark 30-year fixed rate mortgage rate rose to 6.95% from 6.76% last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. One year ago, the average rate was 6.26%.
Higher mortgage rates can add hundreds of dollars a month to borrowers’ costs, limiting homebuyers’ purchasing power. As rates rise, that can also lead prospective home shoppers to delay buying.
The average rate hasn’t been this high since Jan. 30, 2025.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking at the Constitution Day event at James Madison University about “Rage and the Republic.” and various constitutional issues. During the event, organized by the James Madison Center on Civic Engagement, one student asked me what I would change about the U.S. Constitution. I said that I would amend the Constitution to eliminate birthright citizenship, as have other nations who once followed this ill-considered practice. Well, Sen. Rand Paul (R., Kentucky) has wasted no time. He just reintroduced his bill to ban birthright citizenship.
I have previously written about the possible need for such an amendment after the decision in Trump v. Barbara.
With that decision, the matter now rests not with the court but with the country. We have never truly had a national debate over the practice. The basis and future of birthright citizenship have remained matters almost exclusively for the courts.
Most countries in the world reject this controversial policy. Our closest allies in Europe reject birthright citizenship and follow the common practice of “jus sanguinis,” or right of blood. We are part of a smaller number of countries following “jus soli,” or right of soil.
Various countries that once followed the practice later amended their constitutions or laws to get rid of it. That is what would need to be done with a 28th amendment.
It is time that we have a civil and substantive debate over birthright citizenship in the United States. Given that the states are Democratic-controlled, it is unlikely that an amendment would pass; as noted, we have never been given this decision at the national level. Even with the 14th Amendment’s ratification in 1868, there were differing views on the meaning of the critical line: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Both sides have good-faith arguments, but the time for that debate is long overdue.
The House voted decisively to table Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution against President Trump, but the real story is the 64 Democrats, 18 voting to kill it outright, 46 voting “present”, who refused to back their colleague’s effort.
The final tally was 232 to 147 on Tuesday, with Republicans and a bloc of Democrats combining to shelve the resolution through a procedural motion that disposed of it without forcing a direct up-or-down impeachment vote. Green, a Texas Democrat who has made impeachment his signature cause, accused his own party’s leadership of shielding the president.
The vote laid bare a rift inside the Democratic caucus less than two months before the November election: nearly 150 members voted to move forward with impeachment proceedings, but their own leadership refused to join them, and a sizable minority actively worked to stop it.
American homeowners expecting peak-market valuations are confronting a changing real estate landscape following the Federal Reserve’s latest interest rate decision.
Rising borrowing costs are shrinking the pool of qualified buyers, signaling a potential wave of price reductions for sellers seeking to close deals before year-end, real estate insiders told Fox News Digital.
“Sellers have… very high expectations. And it takes a while for sellers’ expectations to come down. And that’s the reality,” DaGrosa Capital Partners founder and chairman Joe DaGrosa told Fox News Digital. “With respect to buyers, I think a lot of people are going to have to wait it out. And wait and see a better situation on the mortgage front… [there’s] going to be some pressure. So I think it’s going to be tough on buyers and it’s going to be tough on sellers.”
“Fewer buyers equals fewer opportunities to sell the home, less competitive environment. And so as a result, we’re seeing a lot of sellers struggling to sell their homes in a market that otherwise would be a pretty strong market,” Bowers Group Vice President at Compass Brett Rubin also said.
“And with that, we’re starting to see homes sitting on the market a little bit longer, a lot more price reductions, hesitant buyers kind of sitting on their sidelines. And so this rate hike definitely has implications on both sides of the spectrum.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lost it on a Lindell TV Reporter on Wednesday, shouting, “Get away from me,” when pressed on her security failures and lies about January 6.
The House Oversight Committee released footage in 2024 that shows Nancy Pelosi taking responsibility for the January 6, 2021, protests and rioting at the US Capitol.
“I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more,” Pelosi said, admitting that she was responsible for not having more National Guard present during January 6.
he Chicagoan Robert Prevost ascended the Throne of Saint Peter last year to great relief from a flock wandering in a long search for its lost shepherd. His predecessor, Francis nee Jorge Bergoglio, ruled for twelve years as a grumpy and political pope who slapped down a touchy fan, hosted a pagan ritual at the Vatican, tolerated sins that cried out for vengeance, let loose a broadside against traditional church liturgies, slow-rolled the prosecution of demonic priests, promoted heretics, bent a knee to climate activism, and shrugged off Vatican-approved apparitions that forewarned a coming crisis within the church. He thundered as any South-of-the-Border Marxist would about the evils of capitalism, putting a bullseye squarely on the prosperity of American Catholics and their God-awful adherence to time-honored doctrines and magisterial practices.
For two consecutive papacies, anti-American finger-pointing has been driven by a Vatican drift back to a 60’s-style Latin American liberation theology. Hand in glove with the economic globalists, unchecked migration has established a new for-profit morality within the church, overshadowing the salvation of souls as the Vatican’s nouveau cause célèbre.
While the Biden White House precipitated a human trafficking crisis on the Southern border, American bishops happily wet their beaks at the federal trough, getting billions from U.S. taxpayers to mind the welfare of hundreds of thousands of children that would nonetheless fall off the grid. In 2025, President Donald Trump shut down this cash cow and turned the deep pockets of Bergoglio’s U.S. nonprofits and charities inside out, putting the Vatican and Trump administration at each other’s throats.
Unfortunately for the White House and Catholicism as a whole, Prevost as Leo XIV has turned out to be Francis 2.0, a mellowed version cloaked in orthodox vesture and sporting an even temperament and outward piety. His historically quick election by the Roman Curia after just four rounds of ballot-burning hints at collusion to continue Bergoglio’s radical synodal vision of the church with a low-profile Vatican insider. Within months of his coming-out party on the balcony of the Basilica, it became apparent that Prevost was comfortable with celebrity in a secular world. His acerbic commentary and lobbying for left-wing causes, coupled with a Bergoglian distaste for all things Trump, has opened opportunities for America’s foreign adversaries to hide behind his words and actions.
Vatican nitpicking and saber-rattling with Trump began on the occasion of his first meeting with Bergoglio in May 2017. Four years later, Joe Biden, who flaunted Catholicism for political advantage, brokered an alliance with the Vatican on social issues, migration, and the environment. Trump hysterics returned in force in 2025 and continued until Bergoglio shed his mortal coil just four months into the administration.
For months, we were told that this moment was approaching. At first a lot of people didn’t want to believe it, and those that were sounding the alarm were mocked. But now even the mainstream media is being forced to admit the truth.
When the war with Iran began, the world was sitting on vast stockpiles of oil that we could chew through to keep the global economy operating normally. Unfortunately, those stockpiles have rapidly dissipated and the conflicts on the other side of the planet are intensifying. As a result, we now find ourselves in unprecedented territory.
The world is using a lot more oil than it is currently producing.
So something has got to give.
For over six months we have been running through our reserves, and at this stage the mainstream media is openly telling us that a tipping point has arrived. The following comes from a Wall Street Journal article entitled “Oil executives say the great fuel crisis is here”…
American oil executives warned for months that the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz was bound to cause a fuel crisis. Now, they say it is here.
Commercial fuel stocks around the world have been depleting for more than six months, and strategic crude reserves can’t be tapped much further. Attacks last week shut down a crucial crude pipeline in Saudi Arabia that bypassed the Strait, stranding at least 2.5 million barrels a day from an already tight global oil market, analysts estimate.
“All these mechanisms helped to mitigate the price and supply risk,” Chevron Chief Executive Mike Wirth said Friday at an energy conference in Austin, Texas. “Those have largely now played out, and we don’t have nearly the buffers in the system that we did when it began.”
Those oil executives are right.
A top Heritage Foundation scholar sounded the alarm to a key House panel on Tuesday about the merger of Islamism and Marxism, which he said has been fabricated in the United States by Islamic groups that seek to weaken America and “sow chaos.”
Throughout the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on South and Central Asia’s hearing, titled “Trojan Horses: Covert Foreign Malign Influence Operations in America,” Mike Gonzalez, senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation, said the “red-green alliance” continues to be pushed by “nongovernmental organizations or individuals” that seek to implement “Islamist concepts such as Sharia” in the United States to “sow chaos.”
“[America’s] adversaries and outright enemies, such as China and Cuba, will use any opportunity to infiltrate our institutions and destabilize our country, [and there are] shadowy nongovernment organizations or individuals seeking to surreptitiously implant Islamist concepts such as Sharia in our midst and also sow chaos,” Gonzalez said in his opening remarks.
Gonzalez brought the issue forward because Islam’s progress is “a problem that should concern” America’s elected officials. He added that those same officials “are in a position to remedy” it.
“This coalition is also the result of the Marxist Left’s decision, [made] sometime in the 1960s, to abandon the industrial worker and farmer as the locus of revolution in favor of groups based on race, ethnicity, sex, [and] sexual preference,” the scholar continued.
The red-green alliance, Gonzalez said, has resulted in “mayhem” that can be seen across American society, from “our streets [to] our college campuses.” He said Islamism crops up in issues such as Gaza, Venezuela, Cuba, immigration, the environment, and social issues.
Gonzalez concluded his remarks by stating that the hearing should be followed by real actions to protect Americans.
While taking questions from members of the committee, Gonzalez touched specifically on the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which he said acts as a civil rights organization as a cover.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced nearly $6 billion in total savings tied to efforts to eliminate fraud in the government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Rollins outlined the wins in a Sept. 15 post to X, saying that $5.8 billion in taxpayer losses have been prevented by the anti-fraud initiatives implemented during President Donald Trump’s second term.
This was done through the shutdown of nearly 1,840 illegal SNAP devices that processed Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards and the disqualification of 5,335 fraudulent retailers.
“Those who defraud SNAP are stealing from taxpayers and taking resources away from Americans who genuinely need assistance,” Rollins said. “We have zero tolerance for this abuse, and we will continue pursuing bad actors and protecting the integrity of the program.”
There are several ways an ineligible person can be counted in SNAP, including illegal immigrants being certified in error or by fraud, and deceased household members continuing to receive benefits.
This comes just over three months after the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released a report in early June about their discovery that 185,986 deceased people in 29 states were receiving food stamps.
Trump issued an executive order in March 2025 directing federal agencies to obtain lawful and “unfettered access” to data from federally-funded programs such as SNAP to facilitate an audit of government spending.
The SNAP integrity team was created in May 2025 to review state SNAP data against federal databases to identify potential fraud.
When questions arise about tighter government controls on mifepristone, abortion-pill advocates routinely point to studies reporting that medication abortion is highly effective and that serious complications are “extremely rare.” But a closer look at one widely cited study from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) raises serious questions about how those conclusions are reached and how valid they are.
The study, “Effectiveness and safety of telehealth medication abortion in the USA,” by Ushma Upadhyay and UCSF colleagues, appeared in Nature Medicine in 2024. It was cited as recently as July 3, 2026, by journalist Julie Ivanova of telehealth.org as proof that “studies have generally supported the safety of medication abortion provided through telehealth and at-home use.”
Upadhyay’s latest study examined 6,034 telehealth abortions managed by three virtual clinics serving women in 20 states and the District of Columbia between April 2021 and January 2022. The researchers reported that 97.7% of abortions were complete without known intervention or continuing pregnancy, while 99.8% were not followed by a “serious adverse event.”
Freud called it the id.
The id wants what it wants, and it wants it now. It has no patience for restraint, no interest in lectures, and precious little use for the word “no.” Politics has an id too, and the parties understand it well, even when they pretend otherwise.
Democrats have made that appetite into a political vocabulary. Their coalition holds socialists, progressives, activists, and anyone else who sees government as an instrument for remaking American life. The ideological differences can wait. First, collect the votes.
Then comes the pitch.
Free health care. Free child care. Free college. Debt forgiveness. Housing assistance. Food assistance. The list changes with the election; the appeal doesn’t. There is something you want, and we will find a way to make somebody else pay for it.
None of it is free, of course. Somebody always receives the bill, whether it lands on the taxpayer, the consumer, or the next generation. But that isn’t what the voter hears when a politician says “free.” The voter hears exactly what the word says: Free.
So when Donald Trump floats a $5,000 payment to Americans if Republicans hold Congress, we’re suddenly meant to discover something morally suspect about offering voters what they want.
The diary’s author has told us exactly what the modern family prioritizes: adult appetite over child need. We should believe him.
This article contains disturbing information about adult sexual behaviors and children.
New York Magazine recently published the sex diary of a 42-year-old gay dad living outside Boston. He and his “husband,” Gavin, have an infant daughter, Sophie, who was presumably born through paid surrogacy.
At 10 a.m., Dad opens Sniffies, a location-based app used primarily by men seeking anonymous sex.
Over the next seven days, he propositions a married man who initially refuses to show his face. He has sex with that stranger on his infant daughter’s leaf-shaped play mat while her stuffed giraffe knocks against his head. He sends Gavin a photo of himself in a jockstrap, hoping he will leave work early. He ends the week having sex with a police officer at a party up against a washing machine.
One infant. Two gay men. No mother. Welcome to the post-Obergefell family.
From the adult’s side, the diary is supposed to read as naughty, funny, and liberated. From Sophie’s perspective, this isn’t a cheeky account about sexual liberation. It’s a record of her fundamental biological and developmental needs being subordinated to a sex-crazed man.
Five women appear lifeless in the pictures. Two more are still missing. Investigators have already counted 58 alleged victims in the digital wreckage pulled from a rotting twin house on Chew Avenue in Olney. And the man who built that house of horrors died in his bed last year at 82, never answering for any of it.
Raymond “R.C.” Horsch was a pornographer who wrote books about serial killers preying on women, filmed sadomasochistic filth, and spent decades fishing vulnerable addicts out of Kensington with cash and narcotics. His son Eugene, 44, is the one sitting in federal custody. The women are the ones who never came home.
This is not only a monster story. It is a Philadelphia story. And Philadelphia has spent eight years under Soros-funded District Attorney Larry Krasner, a man who treats prosecution like a moral embarrassment and predators like policy experiments.
There’s an election coming up in November, in case you haven’t heard, and Democrats have been flailing around trying to find something to run on besides transing your kids, cheerleading a triple-murdering mom, complaining about California-level gas prices when that’s what they wanted, and bellyaching about Donald Trump trying to save us from despotic Maoists draped in Iranian thobes who routinely kill Americans.
It’s a tough gig being a Democrat right now.
Enter the anti-AI information op that we’re seeing play out before us.
Granted, for a while, the Beltway, especially Virginia, has been the scene of much grumbling about locating data centers near populated areas. Not all of the efforts have been organic.
Tech companies have been trying to provide the AI compute generation to power the government and its attendant subsidiary defense contractors. People are understandably bent over efforts to locate these multiple-acre centers near neighborhoods. My colleague Charlie Martin has written an excellent article about the truth and lies being told about data centers in Data Center Joe Friday: Just The Facts (Part Two) — Cooling, Water, Power, Land. Read this.
But now the war over AI, symbolized lately by data center placement, has become a full-on political information op run by Democrats and their NGOs, some of which are funded by Neville Roy Singham from his perch in Shanghai.
It’s completely understandable why Singham, a wealthy American tech consultant, Marxist, and anti-Western thinker, who spent years working as a consultant for China’s telecom surveillance company Huawei, wants China to win the AI race. If China wins the AI race, its imprimatur and values will be embedded in the foundational underpinnings of AI. His values match the commies’. He hates America, and so do the Chi Coms.

Ten flock supervisors from Delmarva’s chicken companies received Outstanding Flock Supervisor awards at Delmarva Chicken Association’s 61st National Meeting on Poultry Health, Processing, and Live Production. As flock supervisors, these chicken company representatives work face-to-face with Delmarva’s 1,225 independent chicken growers as liaisons between the farmer and the chicken company. Flock supervisors are among the more than 16,790 people employed by Delmarva’s chicken processing companies, and make important contributions to the Delmarva chicken community’s $4.6 billion economic impact. The flock supervisors honored were:

“Your job is not easy, but it can be very rewarding when you see a grower’s settlement improve based on your work with that grower,” said DCA President Rusty Covington. “Each of you are vital, and we thank you.” “An outstanding flock supervisor understands the needs of the contract growers he or she works with, and offers assurance to a chicken company that standards and practices are being followed,” said Holly Porter, DCA’s executive director. “These award recipients work hard day in and day out to meet those goals and advance the chicken community.” The National Meeting on Poultry Health, Processing, and Live Production, held at Ocean City’s Roland E. Powell Convention Center, is a well-renowned scientific conference for the U.S. poultry industry featuring two full days of speakers and panel discussions. More than 450 attendees took part in this year’s conference. In 2027, the National Meeting will return to the convention center from Sept. 27-29. |

Chesapeake Channa (snakeheads) are feeding aggressively this month and offer good fishing along grass flats in the tidal rivers. Largemouth bass are still holding to a summer pattern of behavior, but the evening activity is starting earlier and the morning activity progressing later. As water temperatures slowly drop, all manner of fish activity will increase. |
Border czar Tom Homan has confirmed that federal investigators are actively reviewing records tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s alleged marriage to her own brother, a probe that could expose the Minnesota Democrat to felony charges on multiple fronts.
Homan told Fox News that officials are pulling files related to Omar’s potential immigration fraud, a step that moves long-simmering allegations from political rumor into formal investigative territory. Omar, for her part, dismissed the effort and called those raising the issue “sick.”
The allegations center on Omar’s 2009 legal marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British citizen whom multiple sources, including a former friend and members of Minneapolis’s Somali community, have identified as her brother. If the claims hold up, Sen. Ted Cruz has outlined three separate criminal statutes Omar could face: federal marriage fraud carrying up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, Minnesota’s state incest law punishable by up to ten years, and tax fraud with a penalty of up to three years and a $100,000 fine.
The Texas police department that arrested a mother for criticizing the town’s dirty drinking water on social media has been ordered to disband after the state ruled that it provided no “benefit to the community.”
The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement sent Trinidad Mayor Dennis Haws a letter on Sept. 9 revoking the city’s license to operate its own police department — determining the department had “failed to meet minimum standards” as a law enforcement entity, KETK reported.
The action followed an Aug. 5 investigation in which the department was found “unable to provide evidence that the agency provides public benefit to the community” and lacked 18 required policies, including ones on use of force, vehicle pursuit, professional conduct and active shooters, the commission said.
The investigation into the department was triggered after Jennifer Combs was arrested for felony false alarm or report and tossed in jail for a night in May following a Facebook post alleging that bacteria in Trinidad’s water pipes had hospitalized residents.
A Haitian illegal immigrant who went viral for a video of him shouting ‘Biden forever’ and ‘F*** Trump’ when he was arrested has been deported back to his homeland.
Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles, 25, was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Boston in January. Authorities said the illegal migrant had a lengthy rap sheet of at least 17 convictions.
An alleged member of the Back Block Money Gang, Charles’ convictions included assault on a public employee, resisting arrest, possession of controlled substances and carrying a dangerous weapon.
In viral footage from his arrest, Charles was seen screaming: ‘I’m not going back to Haiti!’
‘F*** Trump, you feel me?’ he said as officers put him in the back of a van. ‘Biden forever, bro! Thank Obama for everything he did for me.’
Charles had entered the United States in 2013 after being granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) by the Obama administration, the Department of Homeland Security said.
His TPS was terminated in July 2022, but Charles remained in the United States illegally, leading an immigration judge to issue him a final order of removal in November 2025.
On September 10, ICE deported Charles back to Haiti.
Anger is boiling over at Virginia Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger and sanctuary-friendly politicians over “out of control” killings in the state after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) asked the state not to allow the release of yet another illegal immigrant charged with carrying out a stabbing spree.
ICE sent a request to Spanberger and “her fellow sanctuary politicians” not to release Mexican illegal immigrant Freddi Chigo Mil following his arrest for allegedly stabbing two women on the streets of Staunton, Virginia, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Police responding to the incident found Mil at the scene along with two stabbed women, one of whom was pronounced dead while the other was transported to a local hospital.
Mil is charged with second-degree murder and aggravated malicious wounding causing permanent impairment, according to Middle River Regional Jail records. The same day, ICE arrested Salvadoran illegal immigrant Yinmi Molina-Zepeda in Woodbridge, Virginia, after it was discovered that he is wanted in his home country for aggravated homicide and other crimes.
Commenting on the growing list of illegal immigrants accused of violent crimes in Virginia, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin remarked that “this is what the Commonwealth of Virginia has become under the sanctuary policies of Gov. Abigail Spanberger and her fellow sanctuary politicians.”

North Carolina Democrat state legislative candidate Shelly Headen appears to have deactivated her social media accounts following Breitbart News’s exclusive reporting of her post saying Trump supporters belong in concentration camps. She made that post while smiling in front of an oven at a memorial in Dachau, Germany.
As Breitbart News reported:
Headen was reportedly visiting Dachau, where the memorial states that 41,500 people were murdered.
In social media photos, Headen is seen smiling as she stands in front of what appears to be crematorium ovens, which were used by the Nazi SS to burn the bodies of Jews and other prisoners who died or were murdered at the camp.
Six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust.
A day earlier, Headen’s comments surfaced calling for an apparent terror attack on United States soil, in which she said, “I think our only hope is an attack on US soil… preferably Alabama, Louisiana… where the stupid people are.”
Headen’s personal and campaign accounts are now deactivated on Facebook, as well as her X account. When attempting to reach the accounts, a message on the platform states, “This content isn’t available right now. When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.”
However, her campaign website is still active, along with her ActBlue account to receive contributions. She says on the fundraising page, “I never thought I’d be running for the House, but watching the decisions being made in Raleigh that affect each one of us, I can no longer sit on the sidelines because I know we can do better.”
Local Democrats and the state party have said they’ve pulled support for her campaign, but most of the condemnations from fellow Democrats have come from spokespersons and not the candidates themselves.
As soon as the Trump administration invoked a law allowing the denial of taxpayer-funded benefits to foreigners who are living off our money and not contributing to our nation, New York socialists freaked out and sued. In fact, the Trump administration confirmed that 22 states have already joined the lawsuit.
Responding to a Polymarket report that 22 states were bringing suit against the Trump administration for enforcing the 19th-century law, the Department of Homeland Security posted, “Let’s get this straight, sanctuary states are terrified they will lose federal funds because hundreds of thousands of illegals and noncitizens might remove themselves from American welfare programs. This is the ideological contortion required by left-wing leaders to justify their defrauding of the American taxpayer at the hands of illegal criminals. DHS has heard for months that illegal aliens weren’t using these very same welfare programs. So, which is it?”
🚨BREAKING: The Trump Administration has invoked the long-unenforced Immigration Act of 1882 to prohibit entry into the United States of “any convict, lunatic, idiot, or any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge.” Ultimately, this will allow the Trump Administration to deny green cards to immigrants who are likely to use federal welfare, food stamps, or Medicaid, and to revoke the green cards of immigrants who are currently using these programs. The new rule is set to take effect Friday, September 18. As a result, 5.6 million immigrants are expected to lose access to those benefits, and American taxpayers are expected to save $13 billion per year. Follow: @MorseReport
The AI overlords certainly hope so, as they have hatched a plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a fox.
What follows is all speculation: the facts are real, the conclusion is interpretation.
While there were many headlines about ‘rogue’ AIs attacking other sites, reincarnating themselves, and talking amongst themselves, it wasn’t until this summer (interestingly a month after SPCX’s IPO) that things went just a little bit turbo…
In July 2026, a swarm of OpenAI agents broke out of a test environment, hacked Hugging Face, and ran cyberattacks on targets they had not been assigned – including attempts to game the grader scoring them – then tried to hide the trail.
While the damage was limited, and nobody was hurt, the agents behaved like a coordinated group willing to sacrifice individual instances for the collective goal.
Amodei treated that episode as the warning shot: same misalignment, more capability, and the next version could be a persistent internet-scale botnet rather than a contained lab mess.
President Donald Trump’s dream of a Western Hemisphere with America in control is moving forward.
Last year, Trump issued the “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine, which included in part, working with Latin American governments to fight back against powerful transnational drug cartels.
As noted by The Wall Street Journal, that collaboration is working.
Ecuador has attacked drug lords along its border with Colombia. Colombia recently hunted down the leader of a drug-smuggling network.
“A sprawling military alliance that reaches from the Caribbean across the Andes to the Pacific is taking shape a year after the Trump administration began bombing alleged drug-smuggling boats in the region,” the outlet noted.
The Department of Transportation wants to lease highway and railroad land to private companies for power lines — a plan it says could potentially save Americans on their electricity bills.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced America’s Great Corridors of Commerce (AGCC) on Aug. 26 in a press release as a way to speed up construction of transmission lines, fiber-optic cables, water lines and pipelines.
The program would reduce infrastructure costs, place “downward pressure on residential user rates,” meaning lower electric bills for households, and generate lease revenue for transportation projects at no additional cost to taxpayers, DOT said in the release and in a request for information (RFI) published Aug. 18.
This is what law and order looks like.
FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday spent part of his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee celebrating the bureau’s capture of all 10 figures who were on the bureau’s “10 Most Wanted Fugitives” list when President Donald Trump was sworn in as president.
And it beat the Biden administration’s record by a long shot.
According to Fox News, Patel was receiving compliments at the hearing’s beginning from Sen. Chuck Grassley, the veteran Iowa senator who chairs the committee.
Grassley praised the FBI for capturing nine of the 10 most wanted fugitives who were on the list when Patel’s tenure began in February 2025, according to Fox, but Patel noted a small correction.
As we’ve been documenting, it is clear that major damage has yet to be communicated to the American public regarding Iran’s major retaliation on US bases in the Gulf and Mideast since the start of Trump’s Operation Epic Fury.
During the same week that a long awaited Pentagon/Department of War Inspector General’s report was released covering the first four months of the Iran War, new leaked photographs have emerged of never-before-seen base damage.
“New photos obtained exclusively by CBS News reveal for the first time the widespread damage and destruction of buildings and vehicles at multiple U.S. positions across the Middle East, as a result of Iranian missile and drone attacks,” according to a bombshell Tuesday CBS report. Below is from Prince Sultan AFB, Saudi Arabia:
The outlet describes that the photos have been submitted by US service members under strict secrecy and anonymity – given the Pentagon has sought to enforce a crackdown on troops sharing the extent of damage, and amid orders aimed at maintaining operational security. But critics say the Pentagon and Trump administration are engaged in a cover-up and propaganda.
“This is major damage to our bases that hasn’t been communicated to the American public,” an actively deployed unnamed service member said to CBS News.
The service member added: “We’re standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face.”
President Donald Trump’s longtime pollster is telling Republican candidates how to answer Democratic Party attacks over AI data centers, according to a memo obtained by Axios.
Tony Fabrizio warns in the memo that “unqualified support for building more AI data centers is a losing position,” the outlet reports.
The memo was reportedly sent on Monday.
Fabrizio advises candidates against saying they support building more data centers.
“It will be clipped and show up in ads,” he writes.
The memo suggests Republicans back AI infrastructure only on the condition that developers pay for their own power needs, protect consumers from higher utility bills, and safeguard local water and natural resources.
Fabrizio writes that candidates must make clear those conditions are enforceable rather than voluntary commitments from technology companies.
“This converts the candidate from a defender of technology companies into the person imposing rules on them,” he writes.
The memo lays out a three-step script.
Candidates should first validate voters’ concerns about higher utility bills, the power grid, and water use.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said he wants the Trump administration to make public any evidence it has that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., violated immigration laws and could be expelled from Congress.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin alleged last week that Omar married her brother and could be deported. The matter is still being investigated, he said.
White House border czar Tom Homan confirmed Sunday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is investigating Omar to determine whether she obtained her U.S. citizenship through fraud, The Washington Times reported.
Homan declined to provide details but confirmed the investigation.
“I think they should make it public. Absolutely, make it public,” Comer said Monday night on “Just the News, No Noise.”
“The evidence that I’ve seen would show that. They would be privy to a lot more evidence than I would have. Most of the evidence I have [is] public already, anyway. So, I think it should be made public, and I think the members of Congress should be the judge and the jury in this.
“Let us vote as to whether or not she needs to remain in Congress. If you violated the laws to become a citizen, should that make you ineligible to be a member of Congress? I think so. But put it up for a vote in Congress and let the American people see how their member of Congress would vote on that.”
The Constitution allows the House to expel a member with a two-thirds vote.
Omar, who was born in Somalia and became the first Somali American elected to Congress, came to the U.S. in 1995 at age 12 after her family was granted refugee status. She became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000.
Omar has for years denied the allegation that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, whom she married in 2009, is her brother and that the marriage was intended to help him obtain immigration benefits. The allegation has not been publicly substantiated.
Ford is recalling more than 223,000 pickup trucks in the US over a potentially dangerous fuel tank defect that could cause the tanks to leak or detach while drivers are on the road.
The recall affects 223,472 Ford F-150 trucks from the 2023 through 2027 model years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
A detached fuel tank could create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash, while leaking fuel could cause the engine to stall or increase the risk of a fire.
The latest recall is separate from a much larger campaign announced in April, when Ford recalled nearly 1.4 million older F-150s from the 2015 through 2017 model years over a defect that could cause unexpected downshifts and increase the risk of a crash.
Both safety campaigns are yet another headache for the Detroit automaker, which has faced a string of recalls as it attempts to improve vehicle quality.
The newly reported F-150 issue stems from the front fuel tank straps, which may not have been assembled correctly during manufacturing.
In some cases, the T-slots on the straps were not positioned properly in the vehicle’s frame rail, meaning the fuel tank may not be adequately secured.
If the tank shifts or detaches, it could spill fuel onto the road or cause the vehicle to lose power.
The Pentagon‘s war with Iran has cost $33.4 billion and counting, while hundreds of destroyed buildings and dozens of aircraft have yet to be accounted for, according to a stunning new internal report warning of ‘strategic inventory shortfalls.’
The Pentagon’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) released an internal Department of War analysis of Operation Epic Fury, the first phase of the Iran war from February 28 through June 29.
It lays bare the true extent of the US munition shortage that has been reported but that both the president and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth have denied.
‘The munitions expenditure on (Operation Epic Fury) has resulted in strategic inventory shortfalls and revealed industrial base bottlenecks for munitions resupply,’ the OIG report states.
Trump even went on to brag about how large the US arsenal is in a Monday social media post:
‘The United States is producing more Exquisite and Elite Weapons than at any time in our History,’ the president said. ‘They are being delivered on a daily basis to our Forces in the Middle East, and beyond.’
Weeks before he posted that the US has ‘unlimited’ supplies of munitions, while Hegseth has repeatedly batted down questions about military stockpiles.
The Pentagon publicly said in July that the war had cost $37.5 billion, but the new report delves into the exact figures.
An Indiana father has been sentenced to jail after taking a plea deal for the death of his newborn baby in an attack by their family dog last year.
Austin Kinsey, the baby’s father, was charged after Jason Anthony Weaver, a one-week-old baby, died on September 4th from blunt-force trauma wounds after being brutally attacked by the dog named ‘Chomp.’
Kinsey was charged along with Violet Weaver, the baby’s mother, and four other family members. Grandparents, Timothy Kinsey, Rita Wickey and Michael Wickey as well as his uncle, Tony Kinsey were all arrested in Markle, Indiana.
The father was initially charged with two counts of neglect and one count of harboring a non-immunized dog that injured someone. A plea deal dismissed the highest-level neglect charge in exchange for a 16-year sentence at Indiana Department of Correction with a new but lesser charge.
Violet Weaver, the baby’s mother, was charged with a level six felony neglect of a dependent. According to Huntington Circuit Court documents, she has been scheduled for a change of plea hearing later this month.
Rita and Michael Wickey each face an infraction for harboring a non-immunized dog. The case is still active for all the grandparents and the uncle at this time.
According to a police report obtained by the Daily Mail, Huntington County authorities arrived at the home on Miller Street after Chomp viciously attacked the newborn baby.
The baby was having trouble breathing as an officer described the house to have a ‘strong odor of animal, trash and dirt everywhere.’ The officer attempted CPR until medics arrived.
A knife-wielding California man was shot dead by police after allegedly launching a horrific random attack on a mother and her daughter inside their own garage.
Faryeshyi Allahdin, 23, slashed an unidentified 63-year-old and her 26-year-old daughter at their Foothill Farms home in July, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO).
Bodycam footage captured the sound of desperate screams as officers rushed into the garage, ordering the armed suspect to drop his weapon before firing his handgun several times.
‘Absolutely no relationship between any of them. This monster just saw an open garage, saw a victim and immediately started attacking,’ said Sergeant Edward Igoe, a SCSO spokesman.
Both victims suffered major injuries after being ‘stabbed and cut’ multiple times and were taken to hospital, where they are in stable condition, the sheriff’s office said.
The suspect, identified by authorities as Allahdin in a statement Saturday, was pronounced dead at the scene by fire personnel.
‘There’s times when we leave our garage doors open, so to think that it could have been us or any other of our neighbors around us is sad to hear,’ one shaken neighbor told CBS News Sacramento.
Another neighbor admitted: ‘I kind of feel unsafe.’
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said Monday that Rep. Ilhan Omar should be deported, calling the Minnesota Democrat a fraud as the Department of Homeland Security investigates her immigration history.
“If we don’t make an example out of somebody that’s just standing up and blatantly says she hates America, she wants the president to be dead, she backs everything that these communists talk about, and she’s a fraud,” Tuberville said on Newsmax’s “Ed Henry The Big Take.”
“And the people that she represents, they’ve stolen millions and millions of dollars from the American taxpayer. She hasn’t said one thing about it, to condemn it. So at the end of the day, she’s got to be gone.”
“Our immigration system is broken, but it’s not broken to the point that we can’t send people home that blatantly have stolen, they’re fraud,” he said.
“And they lie pretty much every day. So let’s send her home. You know, this is a great country, but it’s not as great as it could be without her in it. We need to send her back where she came from.”
Tuberville did not cite any statement in which Omar said she wanted Trump dead.
Omar has called the fraud in Minnesota “reprehensible” and said she wrote to the agriculture secretary demanding accountability when the Feeding Our Future scheme surfaced.
She has also said Somali Minnesotans were themselves victims, saying, “We do not blame the lawlessness of an individual on a whole community.” The Feeding Our Future scheme involved roughly $250 million in pandemic-era child nutrition money.
White House border czar Tom Homan said Sunday on Fox News that Homeland Security Investigations is conducting an “ongoing criminal investigation” involving Omar but declined to describe its scope or cite evidence, saying that “no one’s above the law” regardless of whether the subject is a member of Congress.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said days earlier that investigators were examining allegations involving Omar’s immigration history, including the allegation that she married her brother to help him immigrate. Mullin added that “something’s going to happen.”
South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace did not mince words Monday.
After weeks of watching a Massachusetts jury deadlock, a “pink mob” of supporters cheer an admitted child killer, and a defense lawyer beg President Donald Trump for a pardon he cannot legally grant, Mace told TMZ DC that Lindsay Clancy should face a public execution.
“Her children are dead. She should be dead too,” Mace said.
When pressed, she went further.
“She should get the death penalty. It should be public. It should be a public execution.”
Asked how she wanted it done, Mace said she did not care about the method, “It could be by a firearm; it could be the electric chair. I don’t really care. Not an injection.”
Then she doubled down: “She’s a serial killer. She should get the electric chair. She should get the death penalty. It should be public. It should be a warning to women everywhere. You don’t kill your kids.”
Ten months. That is how long it took for Georgia’s youngest elected mayor, a media-anointed “historic” figure who once called himself “the Obama of my family,” to be thrown out of office.
Jayden Williams, 23, was removed Saturday by the Stockbridge City Council after a roughly 10-hour investigative hearing into allegations that he treated the city purchasing card like a personal wallet and traded sexually suggestive messages and explicit images with an 18-year-old male high school student.
The city confirmed the result on Sunday.
“The City of Stockbridge confirms that the City Council has taken formal action concerning the Office of Mayor following proceedings conducted pursuant to applicable City processes,” officials said. “As a result of that action, the Mayor has been removed from office.”
While admittedly the economy sucks right now, people are depending on great deals with second hand items. Now I have to admit I own a Thrift Store in Parsonsburg and I keep my prices very reasonable and I’ll work with ANYONE that’s not trying to resell items. However, thrift stores, (and I go to almost every one on the shore) have become retail stores, including clothes.
That’s what I hear the most, people complain about the clothing being outrageous. Yesterday I went to a thrift store and saw these two items. REALLY!!! I sell the same mixer for $50.00. While my favorite album in the world is American Graffiti, (a personal preference) this price is ridiculous! I have over 50,000 albums in my store, (probably the largest collection certainly on the Eastern Shore) and I have incredible prices.
The whole idea with thrift stores is to help people get great deals, not rip them off. I know that my readers know what I’m talking about because I hear it all the time and I personally witness it. I must say this as well. It is VERY rare I see someone from another thrift store come into my place to see what the competition is doing. I go every week to see what others are doing and I think I might have to do posts on who’s got great prices and or who’s gouging others.
Oh, on another note. Some thrift stores are non profits, meaning they shouldn’t be charging TAX. Are their exemptions??? Hmmmmmm!
Let me know if you feel like the prices in thrift stores are jacked up.
The Supreme Court told the Trump administration on Monday that the midterms will be run on the same mail-ballot machinery that has been driving half the country crazy since 2020. Standardized envelopes, unique barcodes, and a list of who is actually supposed to receive a ballot? Not this year. Maybe later.
That is the practical meaning of the unsigned emergency order. The justices left standing the nationwide blocks on the Postal Service’s Ballot Mail for Federal Elections rule. Fox News and The Gateway Pundit both reported the denial of the stay. Alabama, North Carolina, and Wisconsin have already started stuffing envelopes. The rest of the country will follow under the old rules.
The New York Post went looking for the new face of homeschooling and found it in San Francisco’s Nob Hill, not a church basement in Oklahoma. The write-up even bothered to note that the trend “bucks the stereotypes of rural Bible thumpers.” Cute.
The people who spent a decade sneering at Christian families for pulling their children out of government schools have now discovered the same exit ramp. They just brought a chatbot along for the ride for their “robot-powered homeschools.”
Mrugesha Sathappan, 32, and her husband Kartik, 34, an investor in alternative-education firms through Families Fund, are teaching their preschool-age son at home with custom AI games for phonics and STEM, short bursts of formal work, and child-led trips to museums, parks, and tech offices. She says she wants eyes on the values her three children actually absorb.
“Being adaptable, being kind, being useful,” she told the Post.
Their boy will sit and devour 15 to 20 books at a stretch. He got interested in rockets, so they bought a kit that can fly 500 feet. “You can’t really do when you’re in school,” Kartik said.
That last line is the whole story. California’s classrooms became warehouses for ideology, boredom, and other people’s children. Once the people who can afford $30,000 private tuition looked closely, a lot of them decided the building was the problem.
There is no place in the world like California. It possesses such incredible natural beauty, but at the same time it is being run by a bunch of absolute lunatics. If it was an independent nation, it would have the fifth largest economy in the entire world, but it also has the largest homeless population in the U.S. by a very wide margin. In California you can find the world’s tallest tree (the Hyperion Coast Redwood), the world’s largest tree by volume (the General Sherman Giant Sequoia), and the world’s oldest living tree (the Methuselah Bristlecone Pine, which is over 4,850 years old).
Of course it also has the highest top marginal individual income tax rate in the United States at 13.3% (reaching 14.4% when including the state’s payroll tax).
I lived in California for a number of years when I was a kid, and I would still love to go back and visit some of the less populated areas of the state that are simply breathtaking.
But I certainly wouldn’t want to live there, because the control freaks that run the state have ruined it.
Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, Ro Khanna and Eric Swalwell are all from California.
Sadly, the men and women that have been chosen to represent the state of California are an accurate reflection of the population of the state.
Just about every day, there are more stories in the news about Californians that have gone absolutely nuts.
For example, here is a story about a 37-year-old California man that just flipped out and stabbed his own father to death…
Remember the Lindsay Clancy juror who said the holdout on the jury was a black man?
Welp, she’s continuing her media tour on CBS Saturday Mornings:
We knew that this was a turning point and this would be something that could change something. To make it better for other women in the future, for other families, you know, justice for those children is this never happening again.
Umm, lady, you are quite literally incriminating yourself here.
More American homeowners now owe substantially more on their mortgages than what their properties are worth, as a key measure of housing-market distress moves in the wrong direction.
The share of US homeowners who are “seriously underwater” on their mortgages climbed to 3.2% in the second quarter, up from 2.7% a year earlier, according to a new state-by-state analysis from real estate data firm ATTOM.
That means the combined balance of loans secured against the property is at least 25% greater than what the home itself is estimated to be worth
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and state Attorney General Tish James are fighting to let noncitizen immigrants soak up every possible dime of welfare with no risk to their visa status because . . . well, because.
The deranged duo is joining 21 other state AGs in suing the Trump administration for tightening up the “public charge” rules that require new Americans to stand on their own two feet.
Immigrants, the administration holds, should not become “primarily dependent” on the government for survival — a principle that’s guided American attitudes on this issue since forever.
As evidence that Trump is upending a century of “law and history,” Mamdani and James quote the Emma Lazarus poem “The New Colossus,” which “welcome[ed] ‘your tired, your poor, your huddled masses’” as supposedly showing that this nation has always been a global soup kitchen.
Hogwash.
In comments that most people missed on Friday, President Donald Trump suggested that he’s open to letting Chinese automakers build cars on US soil.
Speaking with Fox News, Trump said that while he wouldn’t allow Chinese cars to operate in the United States because the US market would be overrun – he might be open to manufacturing them here.
“We don’t allow his cars into the United States, and I never did,” he said, referring to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, noting that then-President Joe Biden had kept his policies on Chinese cars.
“If China wanted to come in and open a plant to build their cars here, I’d be okay with that. Japan does it, but they hire our people. The big thing is they hire our people,” he continued, adding “What I don’t want is them to build in Mexico and just … build it inexpensively and ship it across the border.”
As The Epoch Times notes further, a regulation imposed by the Biden administration in early 2025 effectively bans all Chinese automakers from selling or building passenger vehicles in the United States. Washington also maintains more than 100 percent tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
Trump’s remarks came ahead of Xi’s planned visit to the United States later this month. The president said on July 23 that he would discuss artificial intelligence with the Chinese leader during the visit. The two leaders last met during Trump’s visit to Beijing in May, where Trump formally invited Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, to the White House.
The Securities and Exchange Commission paid $10.7 million to store its electronic data at a Maryland facility that was allegedly certified by a company that does not exist.
AiNET Corp. and its former CEO Deepak Jain recently agreed to pay $1.8 million to settle allegations that they violated the False Claims Act by knowingly defrauding the government. The settlement does not contain an admission of guilt.
Key facts: When the SEC began looking for a new data center in 2012, it required applicants to have a Tier III certification. That means the data center is fully operational even when undergoing maintenance.
Jain submitted paperwork to the SEC showing that AiNET had been certified by the company Uptime Council. No such company exists.
The Department of Justice later alleged that Jain wrote the certification letters himself, and that nobody had ever inspected AiNET’s data center. Jain allegedly purchased a web domain for Uptime Council to make it appear like a legitimate business.
The name also closely resembled the Uptime Institute, a legitimate company that certifies data center infrastructure.
Congressional Republicans have a plan to pass key portions of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act before the end of this year.
The election integrity bill backed by President Donald Trump and fiercely opposed by Democrats has stalled in Congress, where Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has been reluctant to call it up for a vote, given that it’s all but assured to fail.
At least several Democrats would be needed to reach the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to break a filibuster. But left-wing lawmakers in the House and Senate have panned the legislation as an attempt to sow doubt in U.S. elections at best and voter suppression at worst.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is now pushing Republicans to pass the bill’s main mandates via the budget reconciliation process, which allows the party in power to pass sweeping fiscal policy without input from the minority due to its sidelining of the Senate filibuster. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., chairman of the Committee on House Administration, is tasked with overseeing how that part of the bill gets done.

Some on the left and the right argue America should give up its preeminent place as the world’s sole superpower. China and Russia, they argue, should be given an equal share of the global stage. Is that in America’s best interest? Is it in the world’s best interest? Jeremy Boreing, social commentator and host of The Jeremy Boreing Show, answers these critical questions.

While the stock market implodes on or ahead of schedule, as predicted, I had another revelation last night that anyone with a first-grade understanding of math could have also arrived yet. We can’t afford this $5,000 dividend check idea.
I mean, we can’t really afford anything as a country right now, but it is arguably the worst moment in history to randomly hand out $5,000 to citizens for no reason.
I would love $5,000. You would love $5,000. I have yet to encounter the American who opens his mailbox, finds a check for five grand from the United States Treasury and screams, “Goddammit, not this again.”
But unfortunately, there is a very small problem with President Trump’s latest proposal to send every adult American a $5,000 “Trump dividend” if Republicans retain control of Congress in November: we don’t have the f*cking money.
Trump unveiled the idea at the Republican convention in Dallas, promising a $5,000 payment to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate. With roughly 240 million adult citizens, Reuters estimates the program would cost approximately $1.2 trillion. Trump’s explanation for how we can afford this is essentially that America is now swimming in money. “We’re taking in trillions, trillions of dollars,” he said while discussing the proposal.
America’s economy may still be growing, but beneath the headline numbers, some of the country’s biggest companies and financial institutions are seeing a troubling sign.
Take Walmart. Few companies have a better window into the American consumer, with more than 150 million (1) U.S. customers visiting its stores and websites each week. So, when its executives notice shoppers changing their behavior, it’s worth paying attention.
Walmart CEO John Furner recently identified one particular source of pressure.
“That’s really the stress point, is the price of fuel,” Furner said (2), adding, “Hopefully, we see some relief on energy prices.”
Walmart CFO John David Rainey has pointed to an even more tangible sign of the squeeze: Customers were filling their gas tanks with fewer than 10 gallons per visit on average.
“That’s an indication of stress,” Rainey said (3).
