Are Republicans Poised for Period of Extended Dominance
Americans have become accustomed to control of Congress coming down to a handful of toss-up seats and increasingly small majorities no matter which party emerges victorious. But historically, fierce back-and-forth competition has been the exception rather than the norm, and there are some signs that the country could be headed for another period of long-term Republican dominance.

Has the US shut its ‘Five Eyes’ allies out of intelligence on Ukraine-Russia peace talks?
In the memo, the talks were reportedly classed as “NOFORN” by US intelligence, meaning no foreign dissemination. That included withholding intel from members of the “Five Eyes” alliance – a traditionally tight-knit intelligence network linking the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. “US intelligence sharing relationships with our allies have never been stronger,” wrote Gabbard’s spokesperson, Olivia Coleman, on social media. She accused CBS of creating “manufactured outrage by manipulating classified information.”

Why Do Governments Keep Lying About Net Zero?
Politicians keep repeating that Net Zero initiatives will save the planet, creating a cleaner, greener future, with cheaper bills and better jobs. The reality for ordinary people, however, is clear for all to see: higher household costs, more rules, and a creeping sense of control. So, why does it always feel like there are other motives at play with all the Net Zero talk in the West? And, if so important, why aren’t major powers with huge populations, like China and India, following suit?

Bubonic Plague Diagnosed in California: Shadows of Egypt’s Sixth Plague
A recent plague case in California has captured public attention, serving as a stark reminder that one of history’s most feared diseases is still lurking in the background, waiting to burst out as it did as the Sixth Plague in Egypt.

Superintendent Works To Block Out-of-State Teachers From Pushing Dangerous Anti-Biblical Ideologies In Oklahoma
Certain teachers fleeing far-left states such as New York and California — bastions of woke indoctrination masquerading as “public education” — may not be welcome in Oklahoma classrooms. Under a new policy rolling out this month, left-wing extremists who hate America and want to weaponize children at taxpayer expense need not apply. Critics are fuming. But supporters say it is an important step as government schools — especially in liberal states — push increasingly dangerous and unhinged ideologies.

NYC Hosts Pakistan Day Parade — A State Built on Terror, Hate, Minority Cleansing, and 9/11 Betrayal

As the UK seeks to nationalise the rail network, South Africa has learnt nationalisation’s pitfalls and is seeking privatisation
South Africa has recently made moves to allow the private sector to participate in the government-owned rail network.  After years of poor management, inefficiencies and ineffectiveness, the freight rail system is the country’s failing the export sector and affecting the economy. Despite failures seen in nationalised rail systems elsewhere in the world, the UK’s Labour government is forging ahead with nationalising the rail system in the UK. Why?  Because of socialist ideology.

Media Misses Significance of Japan’s “Japanese First” Moment 
One month on from Japan’s seismic elections last month, the global media has still failed to grasp the significance of the outcome – both for Japan and the global conservative movement. … That election produced a political earthquake unlike anything the country has seen in decades. the big winners were not Japan’s liberal parties. Instead, it was the upstart Sanseito (“Party of Do It Yourself”) that shocked the political class – gaining 14 new seats in addition to the one already held by its leader. Just as American media failed to grasp the significance of Donald Trump’s America First movement in 2016, they are now ignoring Japan’s own “Japanese First” moment.

COGAT releases shocking footage of Hamas brutality against Gazans 
COGAT published the videos as Israel and Hamas compete over the global narrative on Gaza.
Calling Hamas “the embodiment of evil and unrestrained cruelty – to preserve its bloody rule,” the videos released by COGAT mostly show extensive beatings of tied-up men lying on the ground, some with their eyes blindfolded, crying out in pain from being struck with hard objects or from being kicked.  “Hamas embodies the essence of evil. The shocking footage illustrates how the terrorist organization Hamas oppresses the population, abuses civilians, and uses unrestrained violence against people in order to maintain its bloody rule and consolidate its power.

‘Protect Our Children’: Advancement Of Dangerous California Bill Halted After Thousands Rally In Sacramento
Democrat lawmakers in California thought they could get away with it—AB 495, a reckless bill that would allow for child trafficking. They thought wrong. Sacramento may not have been listening before, but after a massive pro-God, pro-family, pro-parental rights rally on the steps of the capital, they are definitely listening now. Thousands of common-sense conservatives swarmed the California capital Tuesday, along with tens of thousands more online.

There Are Wild Theories About An Absolutely Gigantic “Comet” That Will Make A Run Through Our Solar System In September And October
A colossal interstellar space rock that was originally known as “A11pl3Z” but has since been given the designation “3I/ATLAS” will be making a very alarming run through our solar system in September and October.  Based on their initial observations, scientists estimated that 3I/ATLAS has a diameter of approximately 20 kilometers, and that would make it larger than Manhattan.  But now scientists are telling us that it is probably at most 5.6 kilometers wide.  Even if it is only about 5 kilometers wide, we are still talking about an extinction-level event if it were to hit us.  Over the next couple of months, 3I/ATLAS will be zipping through our solar system at a speed of about 130,000 miles per hour, and scientists assure us that the gravity of the sun cannot significantly alter the trajectory of anything moving that fast.  But what if they are wrong?

Zohran’s Mamdani’s Crime Carnival Arrives
…First, it was socialism via government run food stores. Now, Mamdani’s latest proposal is to eliminate misdemeanor crimes altogether — a policy that would invite petty crime, drive down property values, and replicate the disastrous effects seen in places like San Francisco. That’s right. Now, shoplifting, drug use, DWI, harassment, prostitution, even a good old-fashioned sidewalk sucker punch—are all rebranded as “non-serious.”

Why Are More And More Americans Becoming Disabled?
Bureau of Labor Statistics data reveals 1.1 million MORE Americans have become disabled in just the past 3 months. Why is nobody talking about this?

Has He Gone Completely Insane? Zelensky Announces That There Is Not Going To Be Peace
If you listen long enough, people will eventually tell you exactly what they truly believe. Unfortunately, we have just learned what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky truly believes about the war with Russia, and it is not good news at all. Apparently Zelensky is convinced that there will not be a permanent state of peace until all of Donetsk, all of Luhansk and all of Crimea belong to his government. Needless to say, the Russians will never hand all of Donetsk, all of Luhansk and all of Crimea over to Ukraine willingly, and so they will need to be taken by force. Since the Ukrainians cannot do this alone, they will be seeking to enlist the help of others, and that is what should deeply alarm all of us.

Now Comes the California Fire Sale: China-Based Company Is Buying Up Land Incinerated by Firestorms
If foreign corporations want to buy burned-out properties, can those sales be stopped? Should they be stopped? When the feared firestorm hit Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena in Southern California last January, the Los Angeles mayor was MIA, the “public safety” guy in charge—the vice mayor—was on home confinement for making an anti-Israel bomb threat on city hall, fire fighters were not pre-deployed, there was no water in the reservoir, and fire hydrants went dry in the Palisades. Soon came vows by L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and elected officials in Malibu, Altadena, and the Palisades to streamline the rebuilding and permitting, which turned out to be a joke. Now, amid bad leadership, virtue signaling masquerading as help, incinerated FireAid money, and promises in name only, comes the fire sale.
