    A little girl had her fourth birthday party ruined after two balaclava-clad teenagers destroyed a wooden stall she uses to sell eggs from outside her home. Maisie Willis would regularly sell eggs from her chickens to passersby on her street in Holbury, near Southampton. The stand was found smashed into pieces on a nearby road, with the eggs thrown all over the street. Maisie's mother, Chelsea Willis, revealed that she tracked down the teenagers who have since apologised. 'She works really hard and doesn't even keep the money for herself - it goes into looking after the chickens. 'I can't...

    Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is the world’s second most dangerous antisemite, several spots ahead of white nationalist Nick Fuentes, according to a new report from the Israeli government. The report contains an analysis of 10 “prominent influencers in the global anti-semitic and anti-Zionist arena in 2025, who were selected based on both the severity of their actions/statements and the scope of their influence.” While outside organizations have created similar rankings of antisemitic influencers, this appears to be the first one published by the Israeli government. As evidence of Thunberg’s antisemitism, the Israeli government pointed to her use of “terms...

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran fired on three ships in the Strait of Hormuz and seized two of them on Wednesday, intensifying its assault on shipping in the key waterway a day after U.S. President Donald Trump extended a ceasefire while maintaining an American blockade of Iranian ports.Iranian media said the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard was bringing the two ships to Iran after seizing them in the strait, through which 20% of the world's oil passes in peacetime. The standoff over Iran's closure of the strait and the U.S. blockade raised doubts about when or if talks would resume...

    Famed civil liberties attorney Alan Dershowitz says he has abandoned the Democratic Party. Dershowitz wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that Democrats have become far too anti-Israel for him to continue voting for the party. As a result, he has switched his party registration. "I am a lifelong Democrat. I started campaigning for the party's local candidates as a teenager in Brooklyn, N.Y., have been a registered Democrat for 67 years, made speeches for John F. Kennedy as a college student, and can count on one hand the number of Republicans I've ever supported for any office," he wrote....

    Donald Trump's naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is unraveling after dozens of Iranian vessels secretly slipped past US surveillance, even as the regime tightened its grip on the critical oil passageway by attacking three tankers. Approximately 34 Iranian oil tankers have slipped through the blockade, with 19 vessels exiting the Persian Gulf past Trump's navy and another 15 ships entering from the Arabian Sea toward Iran, according to the Financial Times. Six of those tankers were smuggling Iranian crude oil totaling 10.7 million barrels, estimated to be worth approximately $910 million in revenue for the regime. The report...

    Months after opening Rampart Twelve, the FBI and DOJ still had no evidence to indicate that Lauren Boebert and Paul Gosar were guilty of the allegations against them. Partisan prosecutors at the Biden administration’s Department of Justice charged forward with an investigation into Republican members of Congress after privately saying the primary evidence lacked credibility, new records show. The documents, released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Tuesday, show the beginnings of “Operation Rampart 12.” The operation, which the FBI launched to investigate multiple Republican members of Congress based on claims that they assisted Jan. 6 Capitol...

    This year, so far, has been a robust one for Manhattan’s trophy-home market. Since the beginning of the year, 126 contracts have been signed for homes priced at $10 million and above, according to Olshan Realty’s Monday report. That’s well ahead of last year’s 90 trophy deals that were logged during the same period, and even ahead of the 117 that were signed in the same time frame in 2021, a record-breaking year for Manhattan’s luxury-home market that included 400 trophy-home contracts.

  • Baalism's Suicidal Nature Worship and Sexual Decadence (Earth Day)

    Much of ancient Israel’s plight, well documented throughout the Old Testament, was its insatiable thirst for pagan nature worship. This of course was in direct violation of the first two commandments of the Mosaic Law which commanded Israel not to worship any other false god or idol (Exodus 20:3-4). The reason why Israel was forbidden to worship other gods, the natural created order, and idols, was given in Genesis. Genesis 1 presents to the reader an ultimate Creator who made the universe out of nothing through His omnipotent spoken word, and then climaxed the creation process with the making of...

    As "Earth Day" is upon us, let us look at the demonic and leftist philosophy which is driving this "Baalistic" ideology. What seems to have a stranglehold on America and the world at present is the godless totalitarian socialistic environmental movement of today. This movement has halted progress and has laid shackles on the capitalistic freedoms at present here in America and in the world. As the environmentalist display their "Green Righteousness" and seek to practice at the same time a relative and godless philosophy when it comes to the Moral Laws of Nature and the ETERNAL ABSOLUTES of FOREVER,...

According to the Daily Mail: In her forthcoming book, Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution, conservative journalist and author Mollie Hemingway lifts the lid on the justices' treatment of clerks. ...

    On Mar. 6th, President Donald J. Trump issued, “effective immediately”, a directive ordering the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”) to act as a federal “sovereign backstop” for qualified private insurance companies providing Hull & Machinery and Cargo coverage to shipping companies operating in the Persian Gulf. The backstop will take the form of a $20 billion reinsurance facility (“Reinsurance Facility”) available to qualified private insurance companies, as well as shipping lines. While the official list of qualified insurers has not yet been issued, Chubb, AIG, Liberty Mutual, and, significantly, Lloyd’s of London acknowledged active participation in negotiations with the...

"We know we campaigned on saving the country, but honestly, we don't really care," said Senate Majority Leader John Thune....
