Greetings, Dear Reader, Let’s end the week on a vicious note. I think it’s overdue. I’ve been quite vicious in the past, as you well know. Some situations call for it.This is one of them … RAPISTS, RACISTS, AND FILTHY, THIEVING LIARS By all accounts, disgraced former Michigan Wolverines football coach Sherrone Moore is a bad person. Allegedly, the married father of three knocked up his executive assistant. He then coerced her into getting an abortion. He then doubled her salary to pay her off. When it blew open, as it inevitably would, Sherrone (again, allegedly) came completely unstuck. Reports…
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said on Thursday that the evidence against Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, is the “strongest” he has ever seen in a case. The case is moving more slowly than usual because Utah Fourth District Judge Tony Graf wants to ensure that this case remains fair, Turley said on “The Ingraham Angle.” He added that fairness has become a major concern for the judge since the evidence against Robinson is overwhelmingly strong. “But I think that reflects the fact that this judge wants to be very cautious.…
The stunning downfall of Sherrone Moore moved at a breakneck pace — from the University of Michigan cutting ties with its head football coach to police booking him into jail only hours later. According to FOX Business, Michigan announced that Moore had been fired for cause after the school uncovered what it described as an “inappropriate relationship” with a staffer. The revelation abruptly ended a tenure that began with high expectations and a lucrative contract — and now leaves Moore facing both professional and legal crises at once. His firing came less than two years after Moore helped deliver a…
Television personality Oprah Winfrey delved into the rise of family estrangement, known as “no contact,” in a recent podcast episode. “No contact” is exactly what it sounds like: abstaining from contact with someone, usually a family member or multiple family members, indefinitely. Oprah acknowledged: “I think some of it’s good … Reaching a state where you’re able to honor and protect your own emotional and mental health … Have we gone too far? That’s the question.” (RELATED: ‘F*ck You Oprah Winfrey!’: Comedian Mo’Nique Explodes On Stage During Oprah Rant) “A Cornell University study now shows that almost one-third of Americans are…
BRUSSELS (CN) — Starting in July, Europeans ordering a dress and lipstick from Shein will pay at least 6 euros ($7) in new customs duties — 3 euros for the clothing, 3 euros for the cosmetics — as the EU ends a decades-old loophole that let cheap goods from China flood European markets duty-free.EU finance ministers on Friday formally scrapped a 150-euro threshold that allowed low-value items to enter Europe without paying customs duties. The move targets platforms like Temu, Shein and AliExpress that have exploited the loophole.The scale of the problem forced officials to act. Around 4.6 billion low-value…
(Mike Maharrey, Money Metals News Service) I ran across a story about a gold and silver theft the other day.It contains some valuable lessons. And it also raises a few questions. Let me just warn you up front: this story is rated PG-13. Now, you’re probably thinking: what can be so unusual about somebody stealing precious metals? It happens a lot. Gold and silver are ideally suited for theft. They are valuable. They are portable. And they are easy to sell because pretty much everybody would like to have some gold and silver. Its value is recognized virtually everywhere in…

By Brandon Showalter, Opinion writer and social commentator Thursday, December 04, 2025Getty ImagesYoung men are going to church in increasing numbers, according to recent data, and women in the same age bracket are increasingly irreligious, which is a markedly unusual demographic shift. So, why is this, and what is happening? What kind of churches are these men flocking to, and why are they going? Those are interesting questions, and there are several layers to explore. But among some young men, the Holy Spirit indeed appears to be moving powerfully. Various narratives are swirling today about disaffected and demoralized young men, but what seems clear…

Is megastar rapper Nicki Minaj becoming red-pilled in real time?

Minaj recently spoke out and joined the Trump administration’s efforts to stop the horrific genocide of Christians in Nigeria. It’s not a stretch to assume that she was punished for her good deed by unhinged leftists after she dared to work with “evil, dictator,…

Rep. Andy Ogles criticized his colleagues for focusing on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and current immigration enforcement rather than the Hart-Celler Act of 1965, which he said has driven decades of large-scale chain migration into the United States. “Unfortunately, my colleagues must not have read the memo, because that’s not what they’ve talked about. They want to talk about ice and immigration. So let’s talk about that,” Ogles said.
