Our flag, history, and culture seem to offend many people these days, but our benefits don’t offend anybody, other than perhaps a few hard-working taxpayers.
Odd.
It is remarkable — and very sad — how far we’ve come from the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations, which, despite coming hard on the heels of Watergate and the pathetic end of the Vietnam War, were almost universally and gleefully celebrated by all.
Last time around, Karen Bass lost the mayoral election both rounds and then won it with ‘late arriving ballots’.
The way the game is being played this time is even sleazier with an attempt to knock out Spencer Pratt, who finished second on Election Night, in the first round with a whole lot of ‘late arriving ballots’ for the third place candidate, Nithya Raman.
As America celebrates its 250th birthday, the elitist media seem to be collectively asking the question: “What’s there to celebrate?”
From CNN Bakari Sellers insisting there isn’t much difference for Black Americans in 1896 and 2026 to New York Times columnist Paul Krugman calling for a “thorough purging of [MAGA] from the United States” to MS NOW host Ali Velshi feeling a “deep unease” about honoring the birthday of “our so-called democracy,” the media elites have revealed their real feelings about this country.
Islamic influence continues to expand in the United States. Adam Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim, won the House primary in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District. In the past Hamawy, not only accompanied Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheikh’ linked to the World Trade Center terror attacks, he also volunteered for an Al Qaeda-linked group. A newly formed pro-Palestinian political action committee spent more than $1.5 million to boost his candidacy.
Henry Nowak’s murder, news of which quickly crossed the pond, has now morphed into a diplomatic row. The US State Department posted on X that:
“Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.
Unlike George Floyd, Nowak didn't commit any crimes. He wasn't a serial violent felon.
Yet unlike the George Floyd situation, I don't see any cops taking a knee for the white kid.
If the majority of a police force won't speak out against what happened, they're complicit in it. https://t.co/WS01zWzg2Q pic.twitter.com/1BaWynqKnU

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth linked the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II to modern immigration challenges facing Europe in a speech Saturday marking the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.
“Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different, dangerous ideologies,” Hegseth said during remarks at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. “Beaches in Spain, Italy, Greece, and Bulgaria — boats and men arrive.”
Timothy Mason drives a pair of Honda Accords: One is a 2010 model with fewer than 40,000 miles that he uses for his daily commute in Massachusetts to his accounting job, the other a 2001 V-6 with more than 280,000 miles he uses for tough winter driving.
“Where’s the financial sense in a new car?” Mason, 41, says. “Better fuel mileage, maybe, but is it going to save me $800 plus per month?”
Mason is on the extreme side of something happening across the country: America’s cars are older than ever.
Downing Street has hit out at “people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division”, after JD Vance’s comments on the murder of Henry Nowak.
The US vice-president blamed the death of the 18-year-old British student, who was fatally stabbed last year in Southampton by Vickrum Digwa, on the “mass invasion of migrants” and said the “only response” was “righteous anger”.
I’m with Vance.
A top US politician has warned the UK government against using sensitive backdoor technology to spy on Americans.
Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, a close ally of Donald Trump, wrote to Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, on Friday, raising concerns about a lack of security cooperation, saying Britain may be using encryption to gain access to US citizens’ private data.
He pointed to the UK’s Investigatory Powers Act 2016, which allows the government to issue secret orders known as “technical capability notices”.
Mr Jordan heads the House judiciary committee, a powerful force on Capitol Hill, and he has led past investigations into US federal agencies, including the activities of the FBI and US spy agencies.
The UK may be building “backdoors into their encrypted services”, he wrote to Ms Mahmood.
Jan. 3, 2027 will be a historic day. Barring some unforeseeable circumstance, when the fateful day comes around, Hisham “Adam” Hamawy will become the first member of the United States House of Representatives to have worked for a group linked to al-Qaeda, and to have served as a defense witness for a jihad terror leader. The way the Democrat Party is going, he likely won’t be the last. And so America must face the reality: the enemies are well inside the gates, and inside the corridors of power as well. The conquest is well underway.
An escalating controversy over British law enforcement saw the Trump administration’s state department attack ‘two-tier policing’ as it sent condolences to the family of murder victim Henry Nowak and “the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he isn’t surprised by the Trump administration’s plan to slap import levies on goods allegedly made with forced labour.
A report released from U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer’s office on Tuesday listed dozens of countries, including Canada, as having varying degrees of ineffective enforcement rules around goods made with forced labour.
The report accused Canada and a handful of other countries of failing to “effectively enforce” import bans on such items. As a result, the U.S. government will hit goods not compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement with a 10 per cent levy.
Much is being made of the recent launch pad explosion of Blue Origin’s massive rocket, an event that to some suggests we may have lost our way in seeking the high ground of space.
Those who believe this have forgotten their American history. Our nation’s first response to the Soviet Union’s Sputnik success in the 1950s was Vanguard, which promptly fell back on the pad after launch and exploded in a fireball.
Yet we would go on to be the only nation to land men on the Moon. Repeatedly.
Donald Trump called me “crooked as hell” as he spread lies about the fraud that occurred in Minnesota. Any keen observer will recognize the pattern of inciting hostility against me and the Somali community whenever his own failures and corruption catches up to him. He routinely reaches for the same tired playbook of lies, racism and deflection.
They can’t deport her soon enough.
Slavery was neither central to America’s founding nor the primary source of the country’s subsequent prosperity. Yet both ideas have gained currency in recent years, making it likely that the nation’s slaveholding past will figure prominently in commemorations of the 250th anniversary of American independence.
