Last week in the UK a fairly typical modern ‘scandal’ occurred.
In the past a scandal tended to mean a politician had been caught lying, having an affair, being a traitor, being engaged in self enriching corruption, being grossly incompetent in a way damaging to the nation, or having sick and perverse sexual tastes.
Today all of those are more likely to be obligatory or an explanation for a rapid promotion rather than career ending.
So what constitutes a scandal today?
A scandal today signifies any statement, any act, any policy or any belief that isn’t a Globalist Progressive, borderline Marxist and undoubtedly treasonous, one...
"Newsom is apparently thoroughly historically illiterate," explained Sen. Ted Cruz, criticizing the governor over his lack of knowledge about historical events in the United States, including those of the civil rights movement.
"He said we've never seen National Guard federalized in the states. I guess his history book does not discuss the civil rights movement. He's never heard of a president named Dwight D. Eisenhower. He's never heard of sending the National Guard in to southern states when Democrats who refused to desegregate schools resisted, Eisenhower sent the National Guard in…"
Just weeks ago, New York City residents, including large populations of immigrants, elected a Muslim, Zohran Mamdani, the city's new mayor.
He immediately praised his own religion as the one true faith, and now there are being broadcast into city streets, in multiple locations, the Islamic call to prayer, up to five times a day.
The U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense on Sunday for the first time transported a small nuclear reactor on a cargo plane from California to Utah to demonstrate the potential to quickly deploy nuclear power for military and civilian use. The agencies partnered with California-based Valar Atomics to fly one of the company’s Ward microreactors on a C-17 aircraft — without nuclear fuel — to Hill Air Force Base in Utah.
“This gets us closer to deploy nuclear power when and where it is needed to give our nation’s warfighters the tools to win in battle,” Duffey said.
America’s largest automakers are retreating from their electric vehicle ambitions after taking staggering financial hits — a shift highlighted in a recent Wall Street Journal report revealing more than $50 billion in combined charges.
While the governor’s 2026 budget proposal attempts to frame the challenge as a “manageable” $2.9 billion shortfall, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office has painted a far bleaker picture, projecting an $18 billion deficit... The state has a cost-of-living crisis that drives the middle class away, thanks to factors including:
•Energy costs: Californians pay the highest electricity rates in the continental United States — nearly double the national average.
•Gas prices: Aggressive environmental taxes and regulatory premiums keep California’s gas prices much higher than in the rest of the country.
•The poverty paradox: Despite its vast wealth, California has the highest poverty rate in the nation when accounting for the cost of living. More than 7 million residents lack the resources to meet basic needs.
When Newsom boasts of “California values,” he speaks of a system that punishes middle class residents through high taxes and regulatory burdens, forcing them to flee to other states...
While immigration enforcement has faced some hurdles, including a partial government shutdown, law enforcement has continued to take down criminals. In a major score for Houston Immigration and Customs Enforcement, authorities announced the arrest of two people who allegedly ran a major illegal operation.
In a clear stand for law, sovereignty and the rule of American jurisdiction, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced a formal investigation into a potentially unlawful "sharia city" development in Kaufman County, warning that any attempt to establish a foreign-style enclave on Texas soil will not be tolerated.
