"The administration is a corrupt mob. This is a horror," Voight said in a video he shared on his X, formerly Twitter, account. "What are we to do…. This is now a war, a war against all of us. The Biden administration is a corrupt mob and the [former President Barack] Obama administration fuels the cycle."

He further alerted that the current administration's corrupt behavior against Trump "is the most disgusting scheme" to try and keep the former president down.

New York City is not handling the influx of illegal immigrants well — and it’s American children who are paying for it.

When the children of NYC went back to school, 21,000 of them were turned away due to the arrival of migrant children.

At a high school in Long Island City, a line to enter stretched around the block.

The U.S. Navy is well underway in scrapping its fleet of littoral combat ships. The latest to hit the chopping block is the USS Milwaukee (LCS-5), which was decommissioned on Friday, Sept. 8 at Mayport, Florida. 

The littoral combat ship program was supposed to give the Navy fast and powerful ships that could operate near shores, taking on coastal targets as well as submarines. Instead, the program grew in cost, as the Navy and the U.S. military as a whole began shifting its strategy and doctrine toward peer-to-peer combat, around the Pacific Ocean. The Navy pushed to phase out the ships, with the budget for the 2023 fiscal year calling to decommission nine of the Freedom-class LCS vessels. The ships have been given the nickname in some circles as “little crappy ships.”

The USS Milwaukee, a Freedom-class LCS variant, was commissioned in November 2015, in service for less than eight years. Last month the USS Sioux City was decommissioned after only five years of service. 

From 1929 to 1941, the United States experienced over a decade of economic hardship, known as The Great Depression. The American people were left hungry and struggling following a steep stock market crash, changes in world trading, government policy changes, failing banks, and the collapse of the money system. Everyday life during this time required grit and survival skills.

Though it might have been before our time, there are still plenty of survival lessons from the Great Depression that can be applied today. After all, you never know where the economy might go. Check out these eight lessons from the Great Depression that you can use to help prepare yourself for the uncertain future.

For years, conservative Americans have accused social networks of censoring them online. Americans discovered, thanks to documents released by Elon Musk and others, that Democrats in the federal government were, in fact, coercing major social networks to suppress content that challenged the Biden administration.

The state of Missouri and five other plaintiffs sued the White House, claiming it violated the First Amendment. A federal court ruled against Biden in July, issuing an unprecedented ban on the White House meeting with tech companies. Biden’s DOJ appealed this decision, taking it to the 5th Circuit Court. This is how the federal court ruled on the issue.

From The Post Millennial:

On Friday, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that the Biden Administration violated the First Amendment when it pressured social media platforms to remove posts about COVID-19 and the elections.

“It is true that the officials have an interest in engaging with social media companies, including on issues such as misinformation and election interference,” the decision read. “But the government is not permitted to advance these interests to the extent that it engages in viewpoint suppression.”

Pikes Peak is one of Colorado's largest tourist attractions. According to The Pikes Peak Website, more than 500,000 people reach the 14,115 ft. summit by hiking, driving, or taking the mountain's famous cog railway each year.

It's not unusual for Pikes Peak to pick up summer snowfall thanks to its towering elevation, but the majority of storms are light dustings mixed with over various forms of frozen precipitation.

Today, September 11th, 2023, the summit of Pikes Peak is sporting a healthy coat of white that appears to be at least a couple of inches thick. Check out the webcam photo below:

This video answers how they could have rigged the towers within 9 hours and disproves the impossible theory that the planes and office fires had anything to do with the global implosions.

AE9--11truth - Experts Speak out explain it with actual science. Any "expert" that supports the official theory is either afraid for his life or career or believes that by supporting the government story he might be approached by shadow government agents and get paid for his "services". The last and most common is that people are psychologically handicapped and their brain will do anything and hold on to any pathetic argument that supports their worldview and nothing can change their mind. This psychology is what keeps most people attached to the religion they have been taught) They always find an explanation no matter how outrageously stupid it is.

The Miami-Dade County school board has rejected a proposal to designate October as “LGBTQ+ History Month” in schools.

After a “pretty heated” public comment session, according to one attendee known to LifeSiteNews, the Miami-Dade school board voted 5-3 against the proposal on Thursday. Board member opponents argued that the measure would violate Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, which bans class instruction about “sexual orientation or gender identity in K-3 classrooms.”

“As constitutional officers, we have to uphold state law, and it’s very clear what that law is,” board member Monica Colucci said during the school board committee meeting, according to WPLG Local 10.

Miami-Dade parent Madelyn Ocasio told LifeSiteNews that during the comment session, some protesters noted that the vague, open-ended nature of the proposal meant it would render October “open season” for LGBT advocates in Miami-Dade schools, meaning virtually anything could be said or done regarding “LGBTQ” matters during that period without parental knowledge or oversight.

According to Ocasio, many local speakers fiercely decried the proposal as “sexualizing” children and as “child abuse.”
