Over 85% of the world’s refugees are Muslims, mostly adult men. But for some reason they don’t seek asylum in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, or in any of the 50 Islamic-majority countries.
They only want to go to non-Muslim Western countries. Any ideas why?
This Humble Elevator Technician Ran Two Miles Into The World Trade Center To Save Hundreds Trapped In Stalled Elevators.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, 46-year-old elevator mechanic Charles "Chuck" Costello Jr. was working at a hotel in SoHo, twenty blocks north of the World Trade Center. It was a rare day for the New Jersey father of four to be working in Manhattan, but as a Boeing 767 slammed into the North Tower and hundreds of thousands of people began fleeing Lower Manhattan in terror, Costello did the unthinkable: he jumped out of his work site and ran over two miles straight toward the burning towers. When his coworker desperately urged him to stay back, the humble Navy veteran and devout Christian simply replied, "I'll be fine. Just keep your cellphone on," before disappearing into the thick smoke.
Inside the burning complex, stalled elevators had become horrific death traps, locking hundreds of panicked occupants inside pitch-black shafts filled with jet fuel smoke. While official contractors withdrew their crews from the chaos, Costello voluntarily charged into 1 World Trade Center to offer his technical expertise. Working alongside firefighters and police officers, who quickly came to know him as "the elevator man", he used his specialized tools and knowledge to override controls and manually force open jammed doors, freeing trapped workers line after line. After extricating countless people from the North Tower, he refused to seek safety for himself and instead ran directly into 2 World Trade Center to perform the exact same life-saving operation.
Costello’s tireless efforts saved hundreds of lives before the towers collapsed, but his refusal to abandon those trapped inside came at the ultimate price. On January 5, 2002, search and rescue crews finally recovered his remains deep beneath the rubble in a South Tower elevator shaft, resting side-by-side with a firefighter and a police officer. In his pocket were his driver’s license, union card, and rosary. Today, his son carries on his legacy as both an elevator mechanic and a volunteer firefighter. While the world remembers the overwhelming tragedy of that morning, Chuck Costello’s quiet, self-sacrificing courage stands as a testament to the highest order of human love, serving as a poignant reminder of how easily extraordinary human stories can be overlooked.
The Anatomy of the Swamp Quisling, John Thune
(A quisling is a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force occupying their country)
The rot inside the Republican establishment has a polished, tailor-made face, and its name is John Thune. Washington runs on one filthy rule: the moment an entrenched creature secures his perch, he drops all pretense of serving the electorate and feeds exclusively on the host. Thune spent four decades slithering through the Capitol's back corridors waiting to inherit the gavel. Now installed as Senate Majority Leader, he runs the chamber as an auction house for corporate donors and an execution chamber for the conservative mandate.
He arrived in Washington without an original thought or an ounce of organic grassroots loyalty. A desk parasite groomed inside the South Dakota party apparatus, Thune survived by mastering the quiet art of political servility to Mitch McConnell. His entire legislative career exists to ensure ordinary citizens never touch the levers of real power. Every manufactured smile in Sioux Falls evaporates the second he returns to the Beltway, replaced by the calculating smirk of a palace guard protecting his masters from the public.
Look at how he handled the SAVE America Act. When millions of disenfranchised Americans demanded proof of citizenship at the ballot box, Thune sneered at their urgency. He buried the legislation, whining that defending the franchise was a tedious procedural nuisance. He openly mocked the fight for election integrity by boasting that challenges would "go down like a shot dog". That vile phrase unmasks his genuine worldview. To John Thune, working-class patriots fighting for their republic are rabid animals requiring immediate extermination.
His treachery reaches its peak whenever a populist president attempts to govern. Thune weaponized cowardly pro forma sessions to throttle executive recess appointments, actively sabotaging an America First administration before it could even staff the agencies. He rolls over for endless foreign entanglements and rubber-stamps bloated appropriations, yet miraculously discovers the sacred rules of parliamentary paralysis only when conservatives demand results.
John Thune is the ultimate establishment operative, a hollow suit trading national sovereignty for donor checks and Georgetown cocktail invitations. He holds the Republican base in supreme contempt, content to manage the slow liquidation of the American republic so long as his leadership status remains unchallenged. South Dakota and the forgotten heartland owe him nothing.
Patriots must treat this political mercenary as the hostile actor he is, strip him of his unearned power, and cast him into absolute political oblivion.
The DOJ just announced the LARGEST HEALTH CARE FRAUD CASE IN HISTORY
Georgian national illegal alien Erekle Gugava was just charged with conspiring to launder proceeds of a $1.3 BILLION health care fraud scheme. He allegedly worked for a Russian-based criminal organization who stole billions from Medicare.
The amount of fraud is STAGGERING
🚨 BREAKING: Political donations to a Somali candidate are being scrutinized because they came from "CHILDCARE" firms based in MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota.
The money went to Ubax Gardheere, a "single black immigrant" from Somalia, in her Washington election
I wouldn't be surprised if these fraudsters funnel the money to their preferred Somali political candidates all across America.
Courtesy of the taxpayer.
We need MASS raids of these "child care," "day care" and "health care" buildings in Minnesota, NOW. The fraud is very easy to spot, as @nickshirleyy showed.
Sixty-two years and $22 trillion later, the U.S. poverty rate sits at roughly 11 percent, almost identical to where Lyndon Johnson found it in 1964. The government ran the most expensive social experiment in human history and produced nothing measurable. Bureaucracies perpetuate themselves, and this policy worked exactly as designed.
When Washington transfers purchasing power to the poor through SNAP, Medicaid, housing vouchers, and 126 other overlapping programs, it doesn't eliminate scarcity; it relocates decision-making from individuals to administrators. Those administrators develop career interests in perpetuating dependency, because a solved problem eliminates their department.
Free market thinkers identified this perverse incentive structure before Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act. Every dollar taxed from productive activity carries a deadweight cost before it reaches anyone's dinner table.
Capital formation lifts people out of poverty. You build wealth through savings, property rights, and voluntary exchange, none of which $22 trillion in redistributed spending actually produced.
Since most people are unaware, here’s a reminder that both Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn were violent American communist terrorists who function as forefathers to contemporary Antifa and the violent left. Their group was involved in killing people, robberies, bombings and shootings. Their actions made them heroes to the left.
Ayers escaped conviction by being a fugitive for years.
Good news you probably haven't heard:
The Great Barrier Reef's five best years of coral cover in the 40-year record are the five most recent.
After decades of predictions of its imminent demise, the reef stubbornly refuses to die.

Obama sold “Change.” What we actually got: Kids cutting off their private parts. Halal guys running New York City. Women believing they can off their own children and walk free.
None of this was normal before 2008. He didn’t just change America, he normalized crazy. 🇺🇸 #explore #fyp
I have read some truly evil things in my life...
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, comes close to what I read in the search warrant for Joshua Gilliam and Ronald Lynch.
These two married men had 5 BOYS, in North Carolina.
They were arrested in May for r*pe, child p*rnography, and grooming.
The victims are a 5-year-old and a 15 year-old... but police say many many more charges are coming.
...but it gets worse.
Last year... in May of 2025, the NC State Bureau of Investigation sent Harnett County a cybertip about Ronald Wayne Lynch, possible child se*ual abuse material.
NO CHARGES WERE FILED.
In MAY 2026... 1 FULL YEAR LATER ...a second cybertip arrived.
This time naming his husband, Joshua Lee Gilliam, in the r*pe of a five-year-old and the grooming of a fifteen-year-old.
THEN charges were filed. For both men.
Please read that again... a year went by.
A year in which children remained in that household.
What happened to those children in that year?
The details of this case are so sickening and so horrifying I have had to walk away from my laptop.
Truly the most vile things I've ever read in my life, bar none.
I'm at a loss for words that evil like this can evil exist at this depth.
How was this never seen?
Why did no one say anything?
How can this happen in America?!!!!
You called the flight attendant.
Said you felt “uncomfortable.”
Said my dog looked “dangerous.”
Asked why a German Shepherd like that was even allowed to fly.
Ma’am, let me introduce you to Duke.
That “dangerous” German Shepherd spent six years deployed as a Military Working Dog alongside U.S. Special Operations. He wasn’t trained to intimidate civilians — he was trained to come home with everyone.
Duke is a certified Multi-Purpose K9.
Tracking hostile targets through desert heat that melted boot soles.
Detecting explosives before they became folded flags on grieving mothers’ laps.
Clearing compounds before young soldiers ever stepped through the door.
He’s been shot. Twice.
And he never broke command.
That scar on his shoulder you keep staring at? Shrapnel from an IED overseas. After the blast knocked him off his feet, ears ringing, body bleeding, Duke got back up and swept the perimeter. He located two secondary devices hidden along the exit route before his handler physically carried him out.
The limp you noticed when we boarded? That came from taking rounds during an ambush so his handler — a 22-year-old soldier on his first deployment — could make it home, hold his newborn son, and build a life outside a war zone.
Duke has military commendations.
He has a Purple Heart.
Official after-action reports credit him with saving more than forty American lives.
Know what else he has?
Zero bite incidents.
Not one. Ever.
The “intense look” you’re afraid of? That’s discipline.
The stillness that makes you uneasy? That’s control.
The size that worries you? That’s the same strength that dragged wounded men to safety.
The only people Duke has ever been trained to engage were armed combatants actively trying to kill U.S. service members.
Right now, he’s retired.
Twelve years old.
Arthritis in his hips.
Still scans every doorway out of habit.
Still positions himself between me and strangers without thinking.
He’s not scanning you because he wants to hurt you.
He’s scanning because once upon a time, if he didn’t, people died.
So no, ma’am — I won’t be changing seats.
He’s allowed to fly.
He’s earned every mile in this cabin.
But if you’d like to say something, you’re welcome to say thank you.
Trust me.
He’s heard far worse — from people who were actually dangerous. 💙🐾 🐕🦺🐕🦺
United States citizens have a right to representation, NOT illegal aliens. United States citizens should decide electoral votes and congressional seats, NOT illegal aliens.
We are suing @uscensusbureau for unconstitutionally allowing illegal aliens to commandeer the path to The White House and compromise our elections.
