A dispute over a chicken burrito bowl order led a woman to assault a worker at a Washington, D.C., Chipotle restaurant on Saturday. Video of the altercation went viral on social media with more than 7 million views. Roberto Hernandez told WTHR-TV that the woman walked into the store and demanded a refund because she

This article requires a disclaimer. You see, I’m not a University of Texas football fan. When I heard that they were joining the SEC, I protested and pretended it wasn’t going to happen like a child who just found out they’re going to have a little brother or sister. When this season began, I thought

A member of the Nebraska state Senate cited the reason for the Christmas season while tossing an expletive at a critic over the transgender issue. Democratic state Senator Megan Hunt is an outspoken supporter of the transgender agenda, but she paused on Christmas Day to malign a random person on social media. Hunt’s 14-year-old child

The PBS partnership with the liberal “fact checkers” at PolitiFact was celebrated on Christmas with a seven-minute promotional segment for their “Lie of the Year” award, granted to Donald Trump and J.D. Vance for Trump’s claim Haitian migrants were “eating the pets” in Springfield, Ohio. They didn’t prove that, but PBS made no attempt to

War on Christmas? It’s strange that anyone would bother. In 2024, it’s perfectly easy to celebrate Christmas without any reference to Christ or Christianity. Charlie Brown’s melancholy reflections on the season demonstrate that being ‘over’ Christmas is not a modern invention. Most of know about the commercialization of Christmas and Coca-Cola’s mass adoption of a

The Virgin Mary gave birth to the promised Son of God in the town of Bethlehem — just as the angel and the Scripture had foretold. The buildup to this birth in Luke’s Gospel is eventful. In Luke 1 there are angelic appearances and revelations, a visit between pregnant female relatives, songs of praise and

The Christmas edition of CNN This Morning tried to throw a wet blanket on Trump’s win, saying voters chose him despite his lies, etc.  A panelist cast Kamala’s campaign as always having been a long shot, a “Hail Mary.”  When panelists downplayed the scope of Trump’s win, Republican strategist Brad Todd scored the segment’s zinger,

The possibility of water, whether frozen or liquid, on Mars is often hailed as groundbreaking — but it might be overshadowed by a far more astonishing claim from the CIA. According to a declassified document, the agency believed that giant beings once inhabited the red planet. The report, titled “Mars Exploration May 22, 1984,” details

If you’re not feeling the Christmas spirit like you usually do, Glenn Beck has a solution. “I want to start today by fixing our gaze upon that cradle in Bethlehem, where the greatest gift ever given entered the world,” Glenn begins. “A simple child was born.

Even after The Wall Street Journal published a four-byline bombshell detailing how Joe Biden’s staff energetically hid his ongoing cognitive decline from the public, there wasn’t a single question at the White House briefing. No reporters demanded answers about how they were misled, or complained they were pressured into silence. They mustered that umbrage over

The Christmases of years past often blur together, but some stand out and remain cherished forever. My father’s last Christmas at home began as a disaster but became something extraordinarily special. About a dozen years ago, my father was in rapid decline due to a cruel disease that had severely diminished his ability to walk

The prologue to the Gospel of John announces that Christ’s coming into the world is countered with opposition. The Gospel of Matthew concretizes this hostility in the actions of King Herod, who ruled the land of Judea at the time of Jesus’ birth. Herod is portrayed in the Gospels as being cruel and manipulative, and

The Freedom from Religion Foundation recently set up its annual “Winter Solstice” exhibit at the Wisconsin Capitol in opposition to religious displays, which is accompanied by a sign that reads, “At this season of the Winter Solstice, may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only

Last week, we caught Joe Scarborough sounding like Bernie Sanders as he banged his desk in frustration, inveighing against “billionaires” and wondering how the Democrats could possibly have missed the “layup” of beating the Republicans in November’s election, given the disparity in income between those billionaires and working-class Americans.  On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough made it clear that

Top O’ the Briefing Happy Christmas Eve, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is off for a righteous holiday sausage grilling.  We’ll begin with a programming note for the next couple of days.

An armed Florida homeowner yelled “freeze” at an intruder in his residence last week — but police said the suspect kept moving toward him. With that, the homeowner opened fire. The Lake Wales victim told police he woke up in his home on the 700 block of South Scenic Highway to the sound of his

A sitting member of Congress was found in a dementia living care home after not making a public appearance for months, and some online expressed outrage over the incident. Republican Rep. Kay Granger of Texas was first elected to the U.S. House in 1997 and announced in late 2023 that she was not seeking re-election.

One of President-elect Donald Trump’s Day One priorities will be instructing all of the 2.1 million career federal workers — most of whom work most of the time from home —  to either show up at their official duty stations or else find new jobs outside of government.

During a speech at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest over the weekend, Glenn Beck celebrated President-elect Donald Trump’s victory and also warned about potential infiltrators amid the Republican Party’s surging popularity. “Last year when I was here, I told you there’s a million ways this country can fall apart, and there is only one way it

X’s own AI is disparaging the platform’s owner for allowing free speech on X. Grok, X’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, attacked Elon Musk and blamed him for alleged “Racial Slurs on X.” Relying on debunked theories falsely asserted against Musk, Grok claimed that after Musk’s acquisition of the platform “there was a noted increase in

Is this the end of gas-powered cars? California wants to ban new gas car sales by 2035 — and on Wednesday, the EPA gave them the all clear, announcing that it would approve two waivers under the Clean Air Act allowing the state to do just that. Approving the waivers will cripple the auto industry,

Three days before Christmas, the nation is horrified to learn details of the murder by fire of a woman on the New York city subway. The one legacy media newscast that bothered to report this story omitted significant details regarding the suspect’s immigration status. Watch the full report as aired on the CBS Weekend News

I am repeatedly told by certain pundits that “tariffs are a tax on consumers.” These pundits, who don’t foresee a scenario where their own income might be outsourced, are probably correct in some cases — tariffs could increase consumer prices on certain products. So what? Another “tax” on consumers is the erosion of purchasing power

If you told me even 10 years ago that I would be writing for a conservative publication like Align, I would have chuckled. Had you told me that I would be writing about issues of concern to men, about what men are and what they need, I would have guffawed. Until about eight years ago,

The audience at NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” crossed a deeply disturbing line when they erupted in cheers at the mere mention of Luigi Mangione, the man charged with brutally murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City earlier this month.  Advertisement The display was nothing short of grotesque.

There was an air of despair on MSNBC’s The Weekend on Sunday morning, as an anti-Trump panel expressed outrage about the President-elect’s various lawsuits against journalists and news organizations, but also despair that the liberal media establishment is failing to step up as leaders of the #Resistance, singling out ABC News for its $15 million

For the tens of millions of Americans eager to quit smoking cigarettes, the Supreme Court may represent their best hope. On December 2, the court heard oral arguments in the landmark case Wages and White Lion (Triton) v. FDA.

“Shazam!” star Zachary Levi predicted his career would implode if he endorsed Donald Trump for president. Levi did it all the same. Get woke. Go broke. Backpedal. It’s the new Hollywood mantra. So far, he hasn’t been pitchforked out of Tinseltown, but it’s still possible. “Club Random” host Bill Maher warned the actor last week
