The new golden calves: Progressives bow to political idols

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Undercurrent Substack How the Left Turns Leaders Into Gods and Politics Into Religion Idolatry is as old as humanity itself. Ancient Israel bowed before golden calves. Rome worshiped its emperors. Today, American progressives practice their own brand of idolatry—transforming politicians, activists, movements, and bureaucracies into secular saints. These idols are exalted as saviors of society, placed beyond criticism, and treated as the ultimate sources of justice and truth. The only thing they never deliver is actual redemption. The Priesthood of Experts The story begins with intellectuals. W.E.B. Du Bois envisioned the “Talented Tenth,” a vanguard of Black elites who would uplift the race through education and cultural refinement. His idea ...

Sources say Trump plans to relocate Space Command from Colorado Springs to Huntsville

By Seung Min Kim and Kim Chandler | Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration will announce on Tuesday that U.S. Space Command will be located in Alabama, reversing a Biden-era decision to keep it at its temporary headquarters in Colorado, according to two people familiar with the announcement. Trump is expected to speak Tuesday afternoon, and he will give the new location, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to confirm the plans ahead of the official announcement. A Pentagon website set up to livestream the remarks describes the event as a “U.S. Space Command HQ Announcement.” “The president will be making an exciting announcement related to the Department of Defense,” White House press secretary Karoline Lea...

Denver Highlighted as One of 10 U.S. Cities With Highest Crime Rates

By Ashleigh Fields | KDVR Fox 31 (The Hill) — President Donald Trump has threatened to send National Guard troops into more American cities after deploying soldiers in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles this year. He’s highlighted Baltimore and Chicago as cities in particular need of help fighting crime, though this week he appeared to back off his threat to unilaterally deploy the National Guard into cities uninvited. Baltimore has the third-highest rate of violent crime, while Chicago ranks 29th among cities with at least 500,000 residents, according to the latest FBI data. Trump’s focus on cities in blue states — those led by Democratic governors — with Black mayors has drawn criticism from Democrats, who have pointed out that some cities in red states have higher crime ...

Border czar vows ICE crackdown in sanctuary cities after Labor Day

By Center Square | Washington Examiner (The Center Square) – Border czar Tom Homan told reporters that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations will expand after Labor Day in sanctuary cities nationwide, including Seattle, Wash., and Portland, Ore. “You’re going to see a ramp-up of operations in New York. You’re going to see a ramp up of operations continue in L.A. and, you know, Portland, Seattle,” Homan told reporters gathered near the White House. “I mean, all these sanctuary cities refuse to work with ICE … we’re going to address that.” Homan said some other states are complying and working with ICE. “We don’t have that problem in Texas and Florida, where all the sheriffs are working with us and they’re actually holding peo...

Rio Grande crisis leaves farmers desperate and states divided

By Susan Montoya Bryan, Morgan Lee | The Associated Press via Fortune A simmering feud over management of one of North America’s longest rivers reached a boiling point when the U.S. Supreme Court sent western states and the federal government back to the negotiating table last year. Now the battle over waters of the Rio Grande could be nearing resolution as New Mexico, Texas and Colorado announced fresh settlement proposals Friday designed to rein in groundwater pumping along the river in New Mexico and ensure enough river water reliably makes it to Texas. New Mexico officials say the agreements allow water conservation decisions to be made locally while avoiding a doomsday scenario of billion-dollar payouts on water shortfalls. Farmers in southern New Mexico increasingly have...

From Colorado to California wolf conflicts fuel push to delist

By RMEF Staff | Grand View Outdoors As new wolf packs kill livestock in Colorado and California, support grows to delist wolves nationwide. Wolves released by way of a controversial ballot initiative in Colorado, opposed by RMEF, have experienced a rocky start, creating headaches for wildlife managers and ranchers alike and seeing mortalities in their ranks.  In late August 2024, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) announced it was trying to capture and relocate wolves from the Copper Creek wolf pack, which formed from animals CPW released in Grand County in December 2023. Months later, the pack had killed nine cattle and an equal number of sheep.   In early September 2024, CPW announced that wildlife managers had captured the two adult wolves and four pups that ma...

Lee Corso retires as college football’s face of tradition and fun

By Blake Silverman | Sports Illustrated Corso's last show brought out all the feels. Lee Corso's incredible 38-year run on ESPN's College GameDay has come to a close. His final show took place in Columbus, Ohio, where it all began, ahead of the big showdown between No. 1 Texas and No. 3 Ohio State Saturday. The 90-year-old college football legend chose the Buckeyes, throwing on a Brutus Buckeye mascot head before signing off for the final time. Although one last "not so fast" would have been electric, the Ohio State pick is a fitting one. He chose the Buckeyes in his first-ever headgear pick before they beat Penn State in 1996. According to Cole's GameDay Blog, who tracks all of Corso's picks, he has went 286-144 in headgear selections for a 66.51% winning p...

Cyberattack cripples Nevada state services

By Liam Hibbert | Just the News (The Center Square) - Nevada state government services were still limited Wednesday morning after the discovery of a statewide cyberattack. Emergency services remained open, but many state-run websites and offices were closed Wednesday. The state said it “identified a network security incident” Sunday morning, but did not publicly address the issue until a Tuesday evening memo. In it, the Office of the Governor said it and the Governor’s Technology Office were working around the clock to restore state services. Across Nevada, government employees were placed on administrative leave Monday. While many returned on Tuesday, others were still not back in the office on Wednesday. The Center Square was unable to access the Nevada executive bran...

Clinton email scandal revisited: FBI had its own private server issues

By Steven Richards | Just the News Months after he refused to charge Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election for using a private, unauthorized server to transmit classified information, then-FBI Director James Comey's inner circle used personal email accounts to further a plan to make an "unauthorized disclosure" to journalists, newly declassified memos reveal. When investigators in a criminal probe codenamed "TROPIC VORTEX" sought permission in 2019 to gain access to those private emails, federal prosecutors turned them down, according to the memos recently uncovered by current FBI Director Kash Patel and declassified for release to Congress by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington DC "issued a prosecutorial declination decision for TROPIC VORTEX,"...
