Chicago residents are having a property tax bonfire after they received their new property tax bills that have increased significantly. Some residents reported that their bills have increased $977 from last year. Democrats again increased property taxes due to budget shortfalls and not being able to manage a budget or decide what’s actually important. Residents complain of rising assessments, and say despite property taxes increases, there’s no notable improvements being made to their city. So in other words, Mayor Brandon Johnson is doing a lot worse than we could ever expect. The residents in Chicago are paying all this money…

An anti-ICE protester was hit by a car and is now speaking out about the situation where she “found out” it was a bad idea. Anahi Padilla-Oliver, a protester, was struck by a vehicle near 350 South State Street, police said. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing. Speaking to ABC4.com the day after the incident, Padilla-Oliver recalled seeing others move aside as a car approached. She said the driver slowed and stopped, prompting her to stand proudly and hold her sign. Suddenly, the car sped toward her, carrying her forward a few feet before slowing enough…

Think about how crazy this sounds to you. Then imagine a woman ten times crazier than that. Lucy Carrington, a dog owner from the United Kingdom, became the center of widespread media attention after appearing on ITV’s daytime program This Morning to discuss her claim that her Siberian husky, Storm, preferred a vegetarian diet. The segment quickly went viral after a live on-air test contradicted her belief. Carrington told the show’s hosts that during a particularly hot summer, Storm had stopped eating her usual food. Believing the dog had developed a preference for vegetables, she began feeding Storm plant-based meals,…

If there was ever a f*ck around and find out moment, then I guess this could be one of the great examples! Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey didn’t mince words when his team rolled up to a condemned home in Sharpes, Florida, this week and took it down with a full-blown demolition crew. The house, long labeled a magnet for drug use, theft, overdoses, and general chaos, had been sitting on the sheriff’s High Intensity Target, or HIT List, which, yes, is actually what Ivey calls it. According to the sheriff’s office, the property had racked up years of complaints,…

Newly released documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate are shining light on a surprising connection: Rep. Stacey Plaskett exchanged real-time text messages with Epstein during Michael Cohen’s high-profile 2019 testimony before Congress. The messages, uncovered in a large batch of emails and files made public by the House Oversight Committee, show Epstein watching the hearing live and texting Plaskett advice on what questions to ask as her turn approached. The congresswoman, who represents the U.S. Virgin Islands as a non-voting delegate, was a member of the House Oversight Committee at the time. According to the records, Epstein texted Plaskett during the…

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey appointed Giselle Byrd, a biological male who identifies as female, as a state commissioner to the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW). Byrd was subsequently elected by fellow commissioners to serve as the Vice Chair of the MCSW’s Programming and Planning Committee. So basically, they hired a male to speak for women, instead of selecting an actual woman. You really can’t make this stuff up. Byrd, a black transgender woman, made history with this appointment as the first transgender woman of color to serve on the commission. He is also the Executive Director of…

PA Democratic Senator John Fetterman voted to open the government, then some time after that he was hospitalized. I’m not saying the two things are connected, but the timing was skeptical that’s for sure! Just kidding, he fell due to a heart condition. Fetterman was briefly hospitalized this week after suffering a fall linked to a cardiac rhythm disturbance, his office and multiple news outlets confirmed. Fetterman, 56, was out for a morning walk near his home in Braddock, Pennsylvania, when he became light-headed and collapsed. According to statements from his office, the episode was caused by a ventricular fibrillation…

President Donald Trump is calling on the Department of Justice to launch a new investigation into several high-profile political and financial figures connected to Jeffrey Epstein, marking one of the most aggressive moves yet in the renewed national spotlight on Epstein’s network. In a post on his social-media platform, Trump said he would be directing Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department, along with assistance from the FBI, to investigate what he described as “Epstein’s ties to powerful Democrats,” specifically naming former President Bill Clinton, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, tech billionaire Reid Hoffman, and executives at JPMorgan Chase.…

Staff at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas were fired for improperly accessing and leaking emails Ghislaine Maxwell sent to her attorney, which were later shared with the U.S. House Judiciary Committee and made public and Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin is at the center of it. Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for sex-trafficking crimes linked to Jeffrey Epstein, had her lawyer, Leah Saffian, confirm the firings were due to “improper, unauthorized access” to the prison’s email system. Some leaked messages showed Maxwell praising the facility’s “concierge-style” treatment, noting better food and polite staff compared to her previous prison. A whistleblower…

U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says that every American receiving SNAP benefits will soon be required to reapply, marking a major shift in how the nation’s largest food-assistance program is managed. The announcement came during an interview on November 14, where Rollins outlined a new effort to tighten eligibility oversight and address what the administration describes as misuse and outdated records within the program. Rollins said the USDA intends to require “everyone” on SNAP to submit a new application so the agency can verify that all current recipients still qualify. Speaking about the plan, she emphasized that benefits…

The Dow Jones Industrial Average just made history, crossing 48,000 points for the first time ever and closing at a new all-time high. It’s a major milestone for a market that’s been on a rollercoaster all year, and investors are pointing to one big factor behind the surge as the government shutdown ends. The rally began gaining momentum early in the week, with blue-chip stocks leading the way. According to The Wall Street Journal, the climb above 48,000 marks the strongest performance for the Dow in months, fueled by a wave of optimism that the political stalemate in Washington is…

The political breakup no one expected just hit the GOP. Former President Donald Trump has officially cut ties with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of his loudest and most loyal defenders for years. And yes, it turned messy almost immediately. Maybe this explains why MTG was begging for donations on social media like a true grifter. She’s wealthy from stock exchanges, makes a 6-figure salary, and yet she was still begging her followers for donations. Pathetic, if you ask me and anyone smarter than a rock, or Jasmine Crockett. The split became public after Trump posted on Truth Social calling…

If you’re looking for a feelgood story, then here’s one for ya! And for once, I don’t have anything stupid to say about something. Wait, yes I do. Imagine patting people on the crotch all day and getting a $10k bonus check in the mail. That’s cool, right? I’m glad these workers are being compensated for staying on duty while the clowns in government shut it down and argued for almost three months. Good job and we all appreciate it. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that select Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers will receive one-time $10,000 bonus checks for…

You gotta love when the filthy rich politicians lecture us little minions about billionaires as they’re flying around in private jets that only a broke millionaire could afford. Such is the case with geriatric liar, Pocahontas, as she was outed once again for contradicting herself on a massive scale. Warren, known nationally for her sharp critiques of billionaires and calls to “tax the ultra-rich,” is facing renewed scrutiny after reports resurfaced showing her own reliance on private jets during past campaign cycles. The contrast between her messaging and her travel habits has become a talking point for critics who argue…

Nothing says standing up for poor people and fighting the oligarchy like spending $15,000 PER HOUR on private jets. And don’t get me started on the climate. You know we can’t concentrate on more than one scandal at a time, so let’s stick to wasting money on private jets while calling out these wasteful boneheads. Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sparked a new wave of headlines earlier this year after reports confirmed they used private jets while traveling for their joint “Fighting Oligarchy” tour. The news kicked up plenty of debate online, mostly centered around optics, but the…

So you’re telling me JFK got shot in the head for this? LOL LAUGHABLE! If there’s one thing you will learn after reading this story, it’s that the Congressional Circus will continue. We may witness a little short fat clown exit politics and a taller skinnier clown jump into the mix. A new Kennedy is officially jumping into the political arena. Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of President John F. Kennedy, announced he’s running for Congress in New York’s 12th District, the seat Rep. Jerry Nadler is leaving after decades in office. And yes, the internet has already decided this…

You gotta love the lack of awareness when it comes to Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett. She was making fun of women who support Trump while she was standing next to a giant man in a dress. The jokes just write themselves now and it’s hilarious. Crockett is no stranger to viral moments, and her latest one comes from an off-the-cuff conversation at a social event in Dallas. A short clip circulating online shows Crockett talking with a drag performer and joking about how she can “always spot a MAGA woman.” The comment set off a fresh round of debate on…

I’m not going to crack jokes about people who suffer from micropenis, but when it comes to a rotten person like Hitler, then I guess it makes sense why he was so bad. He must’ve been so angry that he had compensate for it in the worst way possible by killing millions of people. Why didn’t Hitler just buy a Dodge Ram 3500 instead? So anyway, this is a real news story and it’s saying that a DNA test stemming from a blood sample taken from the scene of Hitler’s death reveals the man suffered from having the tiniest dick…

All the millions of people who are milking the SNAP system better start taking showers and filling out job applications. Now I’m not against people using the system WHEN THEY NEED HELP, but I am 100% against people LIVING OFF THE SYSTEM because they refuse to work for a better life. Older people, people with disabilities, and anyone who needs temporary help – you’re fine. I hope you get the help you need. But if you’re some big back chick who spends all of her money on fake nails and fake eyelashes and you have 12 kids and refuse to…

The U.S. just announced a new military campaign called Operation Southern Spear, and it’s already becoming one of the most talked-about national security stories of the week. The announcement came directly from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who posted about the operation on X and described it as an effort to “remove narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere.” The phrase got people’s attention quickly, especially since the statement came with very few details and raised more questions than answers. From what’s been reported so far, the operation is being run through U.S. Southern Command, with a new group called Joint Task Force Southern…
