A police officer who had a firearm held to his head by a colleague for threatening to spoil the latest Top Gun blockbuster says he has completely lost trust in the force. Constable Dominic Gaynor was ordered to perform community service after admitting to pointing his gun at his junior colleague, Morgan Royston, and threatening to shoot him at a Sydney police station in May 2022. A magistrate on Thursday said he was unconvinced the 30-year-old was sorry for his actions, which the victim said left him afraid and anxious.

A friend of mine got mad at me once because I spoiled the movie Titanic for him by telling him the ship sank.

Definitely not the brightest idea with gun play, probably falls under “boys will be boys “ However, the “victim” here has demonstrated he does not have the mental/emotional fortitude to be a police officer.

Every workplace has at least one. One loser who tells everything he knows, passes on rumors about other employees or just makes things up; all to remain the center of attention. They are often loaded with suggestions but will never implement one. Most conversations start with "At my last job...". They are universally hated. Ok, the gun was too much. Maybe a punch in the nose.

Any police officer who would hold a gun to another officer's had has no business on the police force. It breaks every rule of safety ever written about guns.

Any cop who would EVER point ANY gun, ostensibly unloaded or not, at another person without an official need to shoot that person is a DANGEROUS LUNATIC and should be immediately removed from the force and kept from ever handling firearms.

A number of Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are reportedly refusing to support Rep. Jim Jordan in his bid to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker, not because of personal opposition to Jordan but rather in protest of Matt Gaetz’s efforts to oust the previous speaker. “I have been told by a good number of people that their objection isn’t personal to Jim, it is that voting in Jordan is perceived to be rewarding Matt Gaetz and the rest of the eight,” Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs said.

If your goal is a pile of dead Israelis, send money to Iran. The more money you give to Iran, the more dead Israelis. Former President Barack Obama knows this, and still he sent the terrorist state of Iran pallets of cash. “On Tuesday, the Obama administration finally admitted something its critics had long suspected,” my colleague John Hayward reported in late 2016. “The entire $1.7 billion tribute paid to Iran was tendered in cash — not just the initial $400 million infamously shipped to the Iranians in a cargo plane[.]” “[A]t the same moment,” Hayward adds, “four American hostages were released.” Okay, so maybe I should amend my opening statement…

The claim by Newsweek is rather alarming – that the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI consider President Trump supporters as domestic violent extremists (DVE’s) in combination with official designation from the FBI as “domestic terrorists.” There’s nothing within the article, the citations or the quotes from multiple anonymous officials within the domestic surveillance system, that will seem a surprise if you take away the hyperbolic use of adjectives and descriptive statements. Yes, to the Newsweek readers, anyone who would challenge their worldview or political position is dangerous; after all, these are the same people who equate words with violence.

The original BRICS economic alliance between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa has expanded today. During the summit held in South Africa, the group which is home to about 40% of the world’s population and a quarter of global gross domestic product, voted to accept the applications of Iran, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Ethiopia. What we see forming now is further evidence of the great energy cleaving. As most western nations chase the World Economic Forum’s priority around ‘climate change’, the BRICS alliance hedges for more traditional energy sources (oil, natural gas, coal).

Journalist and filmmaker Mike Cernovich, who was an early supporter of Ron DeSantis and a vocal critic of President Trump, tried to assist the DeSantis campaign in formulating a viable strategy to counter Trump and run a successful 2024 campaign against him. However, he claims that his advice was either disregarded or implemented too late, leading to missed opportunities. Mike made this revelation while responding to a tweet from a follower asking him if DeSantis could pick up steam. Mike response starts with “No,” and then he goes on to explain more.

When Rolling Stone isn’t busy peddling fake rape stories, they dish out rather questionable movie reviews that almost sound like a veiled endorsement of child sexual abuse. That’s what happened with their latest review of the runaway conservative hit movie “Sound of Freedom.” It’s truly mind-boggling how so many liberals have taken the absurd stance of dismissing “child sex trafficking” as a conspiracy theory, labeling anyone who sheds light on it or wants to stop it as a “Q-kook.”

People ask me every day how I can remain optimistic when everything around us is created by lies, deceit, manipulation and corruption. The answer is simple, truth is power. The arguments of the liars are weak, constructed on fraud and dependent on the lack of knowledge by the average person. If you want to live in the light of truth, don’t be average – be extraordinary. This is the nature of our Treehouse assembly, and it grows naturally larger every single day. The truth has no agenda.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is locked in a contract dispute with his former network who took him off the air, but continues to enforce the contract he signed with them. As the contract battle wages, and while litigation with the network continues, Carlson is limited in his options for platform broadcast. As a result, Tucker Carlson’s personal Twitter account which existed prior to his Fox contract and is not subject to the terms and agreements, remains an outlet for him to use while not violating his non-compete clause.

As the geography narrows before us, it is important to remember the stakes and avoid the distractions. As a consequence, the baseline must be reaffirmed. It is critical to understand that both the DNC and RNC are private corporations with no affiliation to government. It is a difficult shift in thinking, but the party system in U.S. politics revolves around two distinct private corporations – two clubs that feed from the same corporate trough and position for influence and affluence within a political dynamic they control. The priority for both clubs, Republican and Democrat, is NOT politically or culturally ideological.

A senior Ukrainian official has admitted that his country has assassinated "quite a few" Russian civilians who support Putin and his war to assert control of the Donbas region. In an interview with The Times of London, Major General Kyrylo Budanov, who heads Ukraine's military intelligence service, also promised more attacks are to come. "We've already successfully targeted quite a few people," said Budanov. He didn't name any of the victims, but said "there have been well-publicized cases everyone knows about, thanks to the media coverage."

Thousands march on Minnesota State Capitol, call for cease-fire in Gaza A march to the Minnesota State Capitol led by the newly formed Free Palestine Coalition on Saturday was thousands strong. Protestors again called for a cease-fire and demanded that the U.S. stop sending funding to Israel amid an increasingly desperate situation for Palestinian people living in Gaza. “Different people come for different reasons,” shared coalition spokesperson Meredith Aby. “But we are united in a message, which is that we don’t want to have blood on our hands. We don’t want to be complicit.”

As previously reported, the Justice Department on Wednesday announced arrests in a high-end brothel network used by elected officials, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, lawyers, doctors and more. According to the Justice Department, the ringleaders operated two websites to advertise Asian ‘models’ for photography as a front. “Three individuals have been arrested in connection with operating sophisticated high-end brothels in greater Boston and eastern Virginia.

Pro-Hamas protestors on the campus of MIT were warned that if they didn’t disperse–they were violating campus policies that prohibited interfering with academic activities and the free movement of students and staff–they would be suspended. The protestors were warned several times and failed to disperse. Jewish students were prevented from entering the campus through the main entrance and were rerouted. Once the protestors finally dispersed the administration decided to not follow through on their threats to punish the students for violating the policies of the school. It was a bit of a surprise because MIT President Kornbluth seemed ready to follow through on her threat. So why didn’t she?

Chicago has become so unpleasant that migrants are fleeing back to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused better paying jobs. Since August last year, 20,700 migrants have arrived in Chicago from Texas. The Lone Star State's Governor Greg Abbott sent migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-run cities because of their proud status as 'sanctuary cities.' They offer enhanced protection against detention or deportation for undocumented migrants. Now, Illinois' harsh winters, lack of migrant infrastructure, and ambivalent support from locals has made many people, who undertook the harsh US-Mexico border journey, actually turn around and go back home.

On Friday, The Washington Post reported that journalists by the hundreds are signing a petition demanding that all media outlets should describe Israel in hateful terms, including "apartheid," "ethnic cleansing," and "genocide." In other words, they want all news accounts to sound like an "eradicate Israel" rally. But the Post used the most anodyne words for this radical petition. On the front page of the Style section, it said "Journalists sign letter protesting war coverage." On an inside page, it was "Letter calls for precise terminology." Are they too afraid to put "apartheid" and "genocide" in the headline?

Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition backing a conservative bishop in Texas who has been dismissed from his position by Pope Francis. In a brief statement on Saturday, the Vatican said Francis, in a rare move, had "removed" Bishop Joseph Strickland of the pastoral governance of Tyler and appointed the bishop of Austin as the diocese's interim administrator. Strickland is one of the pope's fiercest critics among U.S. Catholic conservatives and has been particularly critical of the pope's attempt to make the church more welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.

What is Islam? To answer that question, it’s more important to know what Islam isn’t. Islam is not a religion. It is an authoritarian, political ideology that forcibly imposes itself on all aspects of any society unfortunate enough to be under its yoke. Islam demands complete subjugation by its adherents. [snip] Islam allows no dissent. It is a complete and total way of life that glorifies oppression, slavery, and death. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, cultural, and military components. The religious component is the veil that hides the dangers.

There is something very wrong with the priorities of the Republican National Committee. During the third GOP primary debate on Wednesday, candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called on RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to resign, citing the party’s struggles in recent elections. He labeled the GOP a “party of losers,” reminding viewers of the “red wave that never came” in 2022 and the latest election losses suffered by Republicans on Tuesday. I’m sick and tired of this Republican Establishment that has made us a party of losers. Where is the accountability for years of losing: 2018, 2020, 2022 and now last night? I’m calling on @GOPChairwoman to resign tonight.
