Last July, a young man driving an ATV committed a series of attacks in Hancock, a small city in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, including slashing tire valves, breaking car windows, and even running down an elderly man putting up yard signs in support of President-elect Donald Trump. Hancock police almost immediately claimed that the incidents were

I remember the smell of cigarette smoke in the 1990s. It was the last time in America when you might smell cigarettes in a bar or a restaurant. It’s a smell that always reminds me of my childhood. Nostalgia. Memories. The world that was. The world we saw, heard, and smelled. Those were the smells
On Thursday night, Notre Dame eked out a 27-24 win over Penn State in the Orange Bowl, setting the Fighting Irish up to attempt to claim their first national title since 1988.

NewsBusters reported that five late-night comedy shows uncorked almost 6,000 jokes against Donald Trump to about 1,100 about Joe Biden (and only 92 about Kamala Harris). All this allegedly hilarious hostility failed to prevent Trump from getting re-elected. Our comedy analyst Alex Christy has crunched all the late-night numbers and analysis of the Keystone Cops
A memo from a Meta company official announced the company’s decision to terminate all hiring policies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, according to an Axios report.

NBC’s Seth Meyers and Comedy Central’s Desi Lydic both attacked President-elect Donald Trump on their respective Thursday editions of Late Night and The Daily Show for politicizing the Los Angeles wildfires with his attacks on President Joe Biden and Gov. Gavin Newsom. Both argued such attacks were not only unseemly but factually wrong; however, both
Top O’ the Briefing Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Dog sweaters are a sign of the decline of Western civilization that don’t get talked about enough. Advertisement I would like to begin by saying how grateful I am that some MB readers share my Jennifer Connelly crush. We’re back to the wildfire hellscape
Donald Trump is making some big and unusual promises before taking office for the second time. Among them are his apparent plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America as well as buying Greenland and making Canada the 51st state. “Here’s the thing,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” begins.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against a bid from the attorneys for President-elect Donald Trump to delay the sentencing in the case involving hush money paid to adult movie worker Stormy Daniels. The court ruled in a narrow 5-4 vote against Trump on Thursday. ‘The Biden/Harris DOJ forced Bragg to concoct anything to embarrass TRUMP.’
Former President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump shared what seemed to be a warm conversation on Thursday ahead of Jimmy Carter’s funeral. The video of the exchange quickly went viral, leaving thousands speculating about what was said. According to a professional lip reader who spoke with The New York Post, their smiles and laughter
While the liberal broadcast and cable networks largely behaved themselves Thursday in their coverage of the official state funeral for late former President Jimmy Carter, there were a few wacky exceptions with CNN using the fact that Carter’s FBI director is still alive to bash President-Elect Trump demanding change at the agency. CBS also had
LGBT activists did their best in recent weeks to pressure Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to veto Republicans’ Parents’ Bill of Rights. Their best was evidently not good enough. To the chagrin of those averse to increased parental involvement and greater transparency about what children are subjected to at school, DeWine ratified HB 8 on Wednesday. The
Enough time has elapsed since Bitcoin hit the landmark $100,000 value — and hovered around that point ever since — to make some recommendations to those who have kept their distance from the most important cryptocurrency in the world. Buckle up! Of course, the disclaimer states that this is not financial advice. The twist is
On CNN’s “Thunderdome”, more commonly known as NewsNight with Abby Phillip, the conversation over the response to California’s catastrophic wildfires inevitably led to Donald Trump. To be more precise: pre-imputing a bad response to a man who is still days away from taking power as President of the United States. Watch as Scott Jennings wrecks
It is most certainly not against Catholic doctrine to deport large numbers of illegal aliens. In fact, governments have a moral duty to protect their people and enforce the law. But if some leftist Catholic bishops are worried about a crackdown on illegal migration, what they are really worried about is the prospect of losing
For decades now, the U.K. government has been burying untold thousands of incidents of sexual assault perpetrated by predominantly Muslim gangs that have essentially been imported into the country despite the culture’s incompatibility with Western beliefs. Anyone who has dared to call the government out on its egregious abandonment of British citizens has been labeled
Within hours of President-elect Donald Trump stating Monday, “I am hearing that the people of Greenland are ‘MAGA,'” Donald Trump Jr. and Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk touched down in Nuuk, the capital of the autonomous Danish territory. In an exclusive interview Wednesday, Kirk told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck about the perception-changing experience
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel did not take kindly to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s Tuesday announcement that he is ditching the company’s relationship with its fact-checking partners. Naturally, Kimmel assumed that if a self-appointed fact-checker says something is true, it must be true, as he compared the move to a taco restaurant getting rid of health inspectors
Top O’ the Briefing Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Yak wranglers rarely show up in any interesting FBI profiles. You may have noticed that there was a lot of content about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg here yesterday. We here in conservative new media have an odd but necessary relationship with Big Tech leftist
The memo appears to have gone out, and the legacy media has pivoted in unison to launch a new line of attack against the incoming Trump administration. The key buzzword is “cruel.” Don’t let the gaslighting fool you. When they attack Trump’s reforms, they defend the policies he intends to reverse — policies that showcase
Ohio police say they are investigating the death of an elderly woman who was mauled and partially eaten by pigs on Christmas day. The Pataskala Police Department said officers were called to the home of Rebecca Westergaard Rigney on a welfare check after the 75-year-old failed to show up to a family celebration for the
Trump-appointed District Judge Aileen Cannon blocked the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigations into Donald Trump and two of his employees.

“I’ve been talking about this a good bit and, and I just, I, I—it’s important that we keep talking about it.” Poor Joe Scarborough. Losing hurts. On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough mounted his hobby horse, and for the umpteenth time since November 5th wailed about how it was only a “1% election.” Forget that Trump
Residents of several counties in North Carolina are still on the hook for the full payment of their property taxes, officials warn, even if their homes were destroyed by Hurricane Helene. In late September, Helene battered the mountainous region of Western North Carolina and the surrounding states, causing massive floods that swept many structures away
The Jan. 1 atrocity in New Orleans, carried out by an ISIS sympathizer who plowed a vehicle into a Bourbon Street crowd, killed at least 14 pedestrians and wounded dozens more. The attack reminded me of a recent post on the Chronicles website, where regular columnist Tom Piatak explained why “Americans voted against suicide” by
In yet another move to tarnish his presidential legacy while channeling his former boss Barack Obama, Joe Biden has authorized the transfer of 11 Gitmo terrorists to Oman. The Middle Eastern nation has agreed to assist with their resettlement and oversee security monitoring. Advertisement We’ve seen this before and we know how it usually turns
CNN’s live coverage of Congress’s election certification on Monday included panel after panel of hosts and commentators bizarrely reminiscing about the dramatic events of January 6, 2021. Amid the faux hysterics, sympathy for Vice President Kamala Harris, and somber attitudes, senior political commentator Scott Jennings prevailed as a voice of reason, providing some much-needed reality
A Minnesota male admitted to killing and dismembering two former girlfriends in what has been called “heinous acts of cruelty.” On Thursday, 41-year-old Joseph Steven Jorgenson of Woodbury appeared in a Ramsey County courtroom to plead guilty to two counts of second-degree murder.

Judge Juan Merchan accused two of President-elect Donald Trump’s picks for the Department of Justice of engaging in “dangerous” and “chilling” rhetoric in the New York criminal case. Trump was represented by attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove in the case where he was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records. ‘President
The Romans set January as the first month of the year. Originally, March had been the start of the new year. But the early Roman kings, before the republic, moved it to coincide with Janus, a two-faced god who looked backward with an old face and forward with a young face. Julius Caesar realigned Roman
