The Inspiring Story of a Daring Escape
from Behind Enemy Lines

One of the places I visited during a trip to the Balkans in June was a large nuclear bunker complex on the outskirts of Tiranë, the capital of Albania. It’s a massive underground structure—five stories, 106 rooms, and a two-story-high assembly hall, all covering 32,000 square feet—and was built in the 1970s during the height of the Cold War to shelter Albania’s Stalinist leader Enver Hoxha and his inner circle. Dug by hand, the bunker claimed the lives of many laborers. One could see it as the culmination of the many smaller domed concrete bunkers scattered across Albania’s landscape, cities, and beaches.

A computer is only as good as the data you put into it. That warning from the early days of computing -- garbage in, garbage out -- has never been more relevant than in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).
AI now drives everything from search engines to image generators, yet instead of providing objective, data-backed insights, it too often parrots progressive narratives, twisting facts to match feelings.
Case in point: despite U.S. Census Bureau data indicating that over 75% of Americans identify as white, AI-generated images of “typical Americans” often show mostly non-white groups. This isn’t intelligence. It’s indoctrination, built into algorithms by ideologues in Silicon Valley.
The strange ATF case of Patrick Adamiak
15 replies
Three years ago Patrick Adamiak was an E-6 in the Navy, on his way to finishing a military career. At 28, he had a private business selling popular gun parts and replica, non-firing weapons. Today, he’s nearing his third year in a federal prison, serving a 20-year sentence.
His life fell apart when the ATF decided to take an interest in him. They raided his home and found nothing illegal, just gun parts and entirely legal, semiautomatic guns. But these were the Biden/Garland years and guns of any kind, and gun owners, were in their crosshairs.
Our South Carolina neighborhood has green cans for garbage and blue cans for recycling. All our neighbors dutifully separate their garbage. We don’t, and we don’t for a very specific reason. What I discovered a couple of years ago is that, while different trucks drive around collecting blue and green cans on garbage day, at the end of the shift, the trucks dump all the garbage into the same landfill. It’s a scam that, according to my local representative, makes people feel good about themselves.
When I lived in Marin County, California, we also had to separate our garbage. That wasn’t surprising, though
A Massachusetts jury found Karen Read not guilty of murder by reason of O.J. Simpson on Wednesday. If the broken taillight did not hit, you must acquit.
O.J. Simpson vowed to find the “real killers” after his acquittal. Read said outside the courtroom Wednesday, “No one has fought harder for justice for John O’Keefe than I have.”
As Simpson tormenter Norm Macdonald might joke if cancer did not murder him: What terrible luck that the person who fights the hardest for justice for you winds up murdering you.
Read stood accused of killing her Boston policeman boyfriend with her car in a 2022 snowstorm after a night of hard drinking.
End the EPA’s Endangerment Finding
2 replies
In December 2009, the Endangerment Finding was born when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under then-president Obama ruled that carbon dioxide (CO2) endangered human health and thus could be regulated as a pollutant.
The EPA’s action flowed from an expansive and unjustified decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that CO2 was a pollutant simply because it was emitted into the air, and if the agency found it endangered human health or welfare, it could regulate it.
VOX has referred to the court’s decision as the Roe v. Wade of climate policy, and VOX is right.[snip] CO2 is not listed as a pollutant or hazardous chemical under the 1970 Clean Air Act
A London academic has appealed to policymakers and military leaders to consider taking remedial action to minimise the impact of civil wars, which he warns have become a distinct possibility in Western nations.
Professor of War in the Modern World, David Betz of King’s College London, has claimed that many European countries now exhibit signs of being in a pre-civil war state. According to his research, there is a statistically significant chance of a war breaking out in the next five years in a Western state, and given Europe’s interconnected nature, it could spark similar conflicts in neighbouring nations.
After Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. booted the 17-member CDC vaccine advisory panel, the naysayers in the press clutched their pearls and howled their horrors.
Here's a typical reaction from -- where else? -- MSNBC:
Dr. Sean O’Leary, an infectious disease expert with the American Academy of Pediatrics, told NBC News that Kennedy’s evidence-free accusations are “deeply insulting to the many scientists who contribute countless hours to the process.” The doctor noted that the ACIP panel is “a model for the rest of the world,” adding that Kennedy is now responsible for “manufactured chaos.”
The left’s love of violence as strategy

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. --Isaac Asimov
There can no longer be a shred of doubt that the Democrats, or, the left, loves and uses violence as a tactic in its war against America.
They hate Trump and his supporters precisely because they love their country and the traditional values on which this nation was founded.
Is there a person on the planet who does not realize that all the protests against ICE deportations are organized, and the participants recruited and paid?
Soros’s billions pay for all manner of these violent leftist actions, dating from Ferguson, where Michael Brown was killed
D-Day from an eyewitness
6 replies
During the first week of June every year, I remember my father, Gilbert C. Frye, and what he experienced as part of the landing on Utah Beach on D-Day. I would like to share an excerpt of his written memories, which we pressed him to create. (He never talked about his experiences.)
Going for D-Day: The weather that evening was marginal at best, foggy and drizzly, typical English soup. After a restless night spent aboard the landing craft — wherever we could find room to “bed down” with blanket, at dawn next morning
If you were to ask any Democrat about germ warfare in the Americas, you’d almost surely hear from them about the time that “Americans” tried to kill Indians with smallpox-infected blankets. After all, it’s right there in Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, the most read (and most Marxist) history book in American education. The fact that it was an officer in the British military, not the colonists, who did this once in 1763 is irrelevant. Our nation is tarred.
Given the Democrat obsession with this particular “germ warfare” (conducted at a time when germ theory didn’t exist and, moreover, it was an exercise that almost certainly failed)
Two Chinese nationals have been charged with allegedly smuggling into the U.S. a fungus called "Fusarium graminearum, which scientific literature classifies as a potential agroterrorism weapon," the Justice Department said Tuesday.
Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, citizens of the People’s Republic of China, were allegedly receiving Chinese government funding for their research, some of it at the University of Michigan, officials said.
"The complaint also alleges that Jian’s electronics contain information describing her membership in and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party," a DOJ press release said.
"It is further alleged that Jian’s boyfriend, Liu, works at a Chinese university where he conducts research on the same pathogen

The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday issued subpoenas to former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to compel their testimony about deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) also sent a subpoena to the Department of Justice for records related to Epstein’s case, and issued subpoenas to compel testimony from several other figures, including former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales.
A 19-year-old former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer was beaten and bloodied by a mob of 10 minors early Sunday morning as he thwarted a carjacking attempt in the nation’s capital, according to DC police.
Edward Coristine, whose LinkedIn handle earned him the nickname “Big Balls” at DOGE, was with a woman near downtown DC when he saw the group of juveniles approach their car and “make a comment about taking the vehicle,” according to a Metropolitan Police Department incident report obtained by The Post.
“At that point, for her safety, [Coristine] pushed his significant other … into the vehicle and turned to deal with the suspects,” the dramatic report continues.

Protests Were Insane? What If Obama Gets Indicted? 25 replies
Former President Barack Obama will not face charges for treason, sedition or any other crime in the wake of newly disclosed intel. Whether Obama’s actions, if true, meet the elements of a crime is, of course, one thing. But this is not the primary reason Obama has little to worry about. [Snip] Why does Obama need not fear charges? The race card.
Consider the protests after the death of George Floyd. [Snip] ...Floyd’s death triggered the largest “racial injustice” protests in American history. ...estimated 10,000 protests,...5% to 7% involving violence. Approximately 26 million people protested, 25 people...killed, 2,000 police officers...injured, and billions of dollars...
President Donald Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., dropped a bombshell on Tuesday about mRNA vaccines and how they actually prolonged the COVID-19 pandemic. Yes, really.In a video posted on X by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Kennedy announced that the science has been reviewed, and it shows that the shots forced on the public by the government to supposedly stop the COVID pandemic actually helped cause the variants and caused the pandemic to go on longer.Kennedy announced that the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA,
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), who is quickly earning a reputation for being one of the most obnoxious members of Congress, recently unleashed a torrent of foul, filthy language during a left-wing rally. All of the vitriol was aimed squarely at President Donald Trump, whom she insulted with pure venom.
Crockett was delivering an address at the MoveOn Rally in Phoenix, Ariz., where she was advocating for improved oversight on gifts given to Supreme Court justices when the verbal explosion occurred.
"Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of *, OK? We know that!" she yelled
President Trump has had enough of the out-of-control violent crime in the District of Columbia, not to mention the exceptionally soft sentences being handed to offenders, and is threatening to "federalize" the Democrat-run city if nothing is done to address the problems. This comes after a DOGE staffer was severely beaten when he came to the aid of a woman being attacked by a rampaging mob of teen boys.
Trump took to Truth Social to put Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser and the city council on notice that something needs to be done immediately—and if they won't do it, he will.
You think Kamala Harris picking her 2024 running mate was merely a strategic political move? Think again. As recently surfaced internal memos from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI reveal, the choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sent more than a few alarm bells ringing inside U.S. counterintelligence circles.
Newly released Homeland Security group chat messages, obtained after a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from Judicial Watch, show outright glee from agency insiders at Washington’s potential nightmare.
Watergate was a zit…while RussiaGate is CANCER.
This is a coup, insurrection and treason by Obama, Hillary and their Deep State/communist cabal- all wrapped into the biggest scandal in U.S. history.
Yet the mainstream media is once again gaslighting us at the highest levels, while whistling past the graveyard. Why? Because this is their scandal. They were in on it from the first day, as the PR wing of the Democrat Party and various communist traitors hellbent on the intentional destruction of America. We all know Obama ordered the spying on candidate Trump to help his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton win the presidency.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to order a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to free the hostages, according to local reports.
The expansion of the war would see the military, which already controls about 75% of Gaza, take over the remaining areas and conduct operations where the hostages are believed to be held, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The move was reportedly made without the input of the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir — with Netanyahu instructing him to fall in line or resign, according to the internal memo sent out.
California and New York are signaling they will move forward with plans to redraw congressional lines as Democrats look to counter the Texas GOP.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Monday that Democrats are pursuing a plan to put mid-decade redistricting before voters, which could be “triggered” by what happens in Texas. And New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), appearing alongside Texas Democrats who fled to her state over the proposed maps Monday, embraced exploring “every option” to redraw congressional lines.
As soon as President Donald Trump announced that he was firing Erika McEntarfer from her job as commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the wailing and gnashing of teeth began. This was part of an “authoritarian playbook,” it was “Orwellian,” it was “preposterous.”
The correct response is, “long overdue.”
Even for government work, the BLS has been breathtakingly bad at its job, something we’ve been reporting on this space for years.
Back in 2023, we noted that the BLS had been vastly overcounting jobs created since Joe
Sen. Adam Schiff, the man who never missed a chance to lecture America about ethics and accountability, is now the focus of a full-blown federal criminal investigation. On Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland, hardly a bastion of right-wing activism, revealed it is actively pursuing Schiff for alleged mortgage fraud. This isn’t some garden-variety political dustup—Schiff faces accusations that he repeatedly lied about his primary residence on federally backed mortgage applications spanning over a decade, from 2009 through 2020. While representing California in Congress, Schiff allegedly listed a Maryland property as his primary address to secure.
