Donald John Morrison was the last man to speak to Willie McRae, unless his murderer talked. He invited me warmly into his neat Benbecula home, where I was visiting with my friend, his cousin Donnie. Donald took my coat from me and hung it neatly in a cupboard. He then sat us in the front […]

What’s the most logical explanation? FFS. This makes me crazy. I honestly don’t think America is capable of common sense anymore: A small, globe-trotting balloon declared “missing in action” by an Illinois-based hobbyist club on Feb. 15 has emerged as a candidate to explain one of the three mystery objects shot down by four heat-seeking missiles launched by U.S. Air Force fighters since Feb. 10.  The club—the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade (NIBBB)—is not pointing fingers yet.  But the circumstantial evidence is at least intriguing. The club’s silver-coated, party-style, “pico balloon” reported its last position on Feb. 10 at 38,910 ft. off the west coast of Alaska, and a popular forecasting tool—the HYSPLIT model provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)—projected the cylindrically shaped object would be floating high over the central part of the Yukon Territory on Feb. 11. That is the same day a Lockheed Martin F-22 shot down an unidentified object of a similar description and altitude in the same general area.

Who can blame him? Biden knows that some people are irredeemable. Ron Johnson is one of them: Over his 36 years in the Senate, JOE BIDEN took pride in establishing friendships across the aisle. And now, as president in a hyper-partisan time, he often waxes nostalgic for the old days and states aloud just how much he likes many Republicans, including Minority Leader MITCH MCCONNELL. But Biden’s love of bipartisanship has its limits. The president clearly detests some on the opposite side of the aisle. There are those he views as convenient foils, allowing him to draw a distinction between his old GOP pals and the new crop of “MAGA Republicans” who, he often argues, pose a threat to the country. Biden frequently seizes on Florida Sen. RICK SCOTT’s plan to cut spending, including putting Social Security and Medicare on renew-every-five-year plans, as a cudgel with which to bash the GOP. There is little love lost between the two men. But Biden holds real antipathy for one Republican above all others: Sen. RON JOHNSON.

Self-described Christian reactionary livestreamer Nick Fuentes led his “Groyper Army” into a war against the conservative movement’s most prominent figures, including TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk and podcaster Ben Shapiro. Fuentes blasted conservative rivals as too pro-gay, pro-immigrant, and pro-Israel to champion the ideals of “America First.” Between 2020 and 2023, he hosted a rival “America First” conference (AFPAC) to compete with the annual CPAC confab of the conservative establishment. AFPAC’s main achievement has been engulfing MAGA-aligned politicians in controversy. In 2022, […]

The latest Russian defenestration The defenders of the Putin regime seem to think these are all totally coincidental and nothing to be alarmed about. Right: A Russian military official in charge of financial provisions for the military district blamed for the Kremlin’s worst losses in Ukraine has been found dead after a nasty fall from a St. Petersburg high-rise. Marina Yankina, head of the department of financial provisions for the Western Military District, was found dead on a sidewalk on Wednesday morning, according to multiple local reports. She is just the latest in a growing list of Russian military officials, defense industry figures, war critics, and gas and oil execs to die suddenly and mysteriously since the start of the full-scale invasion last year. The 58-year-old’s belongings and documents were found on a balcony on the 16th floor of the building, Mash reports. Russia’s Investigative Committee is looking into the circumstances of the deadly plunge, with their preliminary conclusion being suicide, according to Fontanka.
