Andrew had his gun license stripped by Met police. The hunter becomes the hunted. For his long association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is facing a long list of repercussions that seem to have no end. Now, the avid hunter has surrendered his firearms license to the Met Police – the same police force who dropped the investigation into his alleged crimes. The Telegraph reported: “The former Duke of York, 65, agreed to give up his firearms and shotgun certificates last month after he was visited by the Metropolitan Police at Royal Lodge in...

Donald Trump's government has banned two Brits - including a campaign group leader with links to senior Labour figures - and a former EU commissioner from the United States for allegedly seeking to curb free speech among Americans online. The US State Department says it has sanctioned Imran Ahmed, leader of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), and Clare Melford, of the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), for seeking to 'coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose'. Mr Ahmed, a Cambridge graduate who is based in Washington DC according to an online CV, faces deportation; Ms Melford will...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(12/24/25)[Prayer]Countdown To ChristmasLuke 1:39-45Mary Visits Elizabeth 39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as...

A former Bank of America employee in southwest Miami-Dade was arrested after being accused of stealing $500,000 from a disabled victim, authorities said. Mario Martinez, 40, is facing several charges, including exploitation of the elderly, organized fraud and first-degree grand theft. According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, deputies began investigating the case on Jan. 16 after they received a call from the Bank of America branch in southwest Miami-Dade, where a supervisor reported a scheme involving one of his employees. An arrest affidavit said the employee was taking money from a client at the bank, and that he had a...

The time for “polite inquiries” is officially over. For five years, the bureaucratic fortress of Fulton County, Georgia has stonewalled every attempt to look under the hood of the 2020 election. They hid behind state seals, played legal shell games with ballot locations, and treated public record requests like personal insults. But as of December 2025, the game has changed. The Department of Justice (DOJ), now acting as a legal strike force under the Trump administration, has launched a federal offensive that is sending shockwaves through the Georgia political establishment. Led by assistant attorney general Harmeet Dhillon, the DOJ has...

“‘. . . and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field’” (Matthew 13:44). Every man or woman desires basic joy in his or her life—a desire that all others directly or indirectly serve. We like to eat because tasty food brings joy and usually a feeling of good health to our bodies. We enjoy money because of the prospect of good and necessary things it can buy. Many of us also seek prestige, power, knowledge, and other advantages for the supposed joy they will bring. But all such joys are fleeting...

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign on Monday, accusing him of engaging in the cover-up of the Qatargate affair, which Bennett called “the most serious act of treason in Israeli history.” The statement from Bennett, who is running against Netanyahu in next year’s election, follows new revelations about the scandal. The affair involves allegations that top aides to the prime minister were acting as paid lobbyists for Qatar, where Hamas’s leadership is based, while simultaneously working for Netanyahu. On Sunday, i24 News reported that communication between the suspects showed they had fabricated information,...

In A Nutshell * Swedish researchers followed nearly 28,000 people for up to 30 years and found those eating 50+ grams daily of high-fat cheese (more than 20% fat) had a 13% lower dementia risk compared to light consumers * Not all dairy showed benefits — milk, yogurt, low-fat cheese, and low-fat cream had no clear link to dementia risk, while butter showed mixed results depending on overall diet quality * Vascular dementia saw the biggest drop — people eating the...

But who wants to die for Big Brother’s woke State? Oliver JJ Lane, a writer and editor for Breitbart London, writes frequently about the growing censorship regime in the U.K., the public’s distrust of both institutional government and Establishment politicians of all labels, the official cover-up of Muslim “grooming” gangs that target and rape British children, and the increasing backlash of native Britons against a ruling class that prioritizes “multiculturalism” and “diversity” over everything else. A running theme of his articles is that the U.K. is headed for civil war. Last summer, Lane wrote a piece with this provocative headline:...

Lot of posts copying the likes of @BernieSanders @SenWarren and @AOC calling for more taxes on Billionaire @elonmusk, forgetting that in 2021 he paid a 53% rate of tax totaling $11b. They all repeat the claim that his company has received benefits of $38b from the US Government. Let's look at his REAL economic impact to the U.S. It's mind blowing. Musk’s ventures currently contribute $100–140B in annual GDP impact, or roughly 0.4% of total U.S. GDP. And growing faster – considerably faster – than the US economy, promising even greater contributions in the future. That’s more annual contribution to...

Jaguar’s transition to becoming an EV-only brand is almost complete, following the final vehicle with an engine rolling off one of its UK production lines. Though nothing has been officially announced by Jaguar, the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club reported on last week’s landmark occasion, in which an F-Pace SUV rolled off the line on December 19, 2025. The F-Pace SVR’s black paint was reportedly a tribute to the final E-Type which too was finished in black, though the larger focus was on what was under the SUV’s bonnet, with its supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine being the last to leave a Jaguar...

A joint venture between two industry giants will lead to the launch of a flagship EV, and it’ll take an unexpected title when it does come to market. The Afeela 1 is going on sale in California next year as the first model from Sony Honda Mobility, a partnership between the tech and car giants, with a vision to take on the upper end of the EV market. While some cars already offer onboard gaming via their touchscreens – or even have rear screens you can plug devices into – the Afeela 1 will be the first car to feature...

There's no official YouTube stats breakdown by country for these specifically (they don't label "AI slop" channels), but from discussions on Reddit, articles on content farms, and...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has a lot of embarrassing distinctions from a political standpoint, not the least of which is being part of one of the few vice presidential debates people actually remember, with JD Vance absolutely cleaning his clock in October 2024 without breaking a sweat. After getting humiliated the following month as well, one would think that Walz would lie low in 2025 to avoid further national embarrassment. But, not only has he not done so, he's running for reelection as governor in 2026. Even more amazingly, Walz is rumored to be considering a 2028 presidential run,...

Vince Guaraldi Trio’s soundtrack album for ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ has become a seasonal classic, full of magical pieces that stand on their own.The choice of Vince Guaraldi to create the soundtrack for the first A Charlie Brown Christmas Special, which aired on CBS on December 9, 1965, came about by chance – and ended up proving to be an inspirational decision. American television producer Lee Mendelson, the man who produced the show, was looking for someone to do a jazzy soundtrack. He initially tried for Dave Brubeck. “The first call I made was to Dave Brubeck, who was an...

CROSSLAKE, Minn. (KTTC) – In a letter penned by the mayor of Crosslake, and signed by 97 other mayors across the state of Minnesota, top city officials expressed their “deep concern and growing frustration” with the direction the state is heading in. Crosslake Mayor Jackson Purfeerst claimed that fraud, unchecked spending, and inconsistent fiscal management at the state level is making it more difficult for cities and towns to plan responsibly and continue offering core services to local taxpayers. “Minnesotans watched an historic $18 billion in surplus disappear in a single biennium, only to now face an updated projected $2.9...
