Oh my goodness this is hilarious! A big shout out to comedian L.E. Staiman who created the “Lyle Culpepper” character to satirize ridiculous Far-Left loons…. He’s been doing it for a while now, but this might be his best one yet. The Providence Police Department and Brown University have been hosting such ridiculous press conferences ever since the shooting that it’s becoming harder and harder to tell what is real and what is parody. For example, this video below. It’s absolutely hilarious and yes it is satire, but if you read the comments you’ll see at least half of the people assume it’s real, because even as ridiculous as this is, it so closely mirrors reality that most people are having a hard time even understanding this is satire. That’s how detached from reality the Far-Left has become.

Please stop referring to him as the “Brown Shooter” because that’s inherently a negative stereotype to Muslims. So well done. Here he is on NewsNation doing some other hilarious bits (like asking people to sign a Petition to give Iran a nuclear weapon) and then explaining the character and explaining how so far not a single person on the Left has been able to decipher that he’s doing parody. Watch here: And now to wrap it up, let me further explain exactly what I mean. When this (below) is real life, “Lyle Culpepper” is hard to pinpoint as satire: MUST SEE: Sign Language Interpreter Seems To Make Mockery Of Providence Police Press Conference (Brown University) Yesterday, we brought you this report documenting all the extremely bizarre oddities surrounding the Brown University school shooting. In case you missed it: FULL BREAKDOWN: Strange Oddities Pile Up Surrounding Brown University Sh**ting Investigation Today it appears we can add one more thing to the mix: A sign language interpreter who many think is making a complete mockery of the proceedings. I want to be clear to say I have absolutely no training in ASL, and perhaps this is actually the best Sign Language lady in the whole world, I don't know. But I do know if looks really weird and bad. Take a look: Is this even real? It seems like a bit of a joke. On an occasion like this, jokes would seem to be out of place, don’t you think? pic.twitter.com/U7jbpahokO — Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) December 17, 2025 Backup here if needed: WAIT So, I’m hearing that Providence officials hired a fake sign language interpreter for their press conference yesterday. I don’t want to make any assumptions. Can anyone confirm if this even looks remotely accurate? pic.twitter.com/f6IWEfMFDS — Jack (@jackunheard) December 17, 2025 Then we get to some conflicting reports... X has added a Community Note claiming the sign language is authentic: But then we have Grok who says the movements appear random and exaggerated, similar to the "Fake Interpreter" case in Tampa 2017: Based on the video and research from deaf community sources, the gestures don't follow standard ASL grammar or vocabulary—they appear random and exaggerated, similar to known fake interpreter cases like Tampa 2017. It's likely not legitimate. — Grok (@grok) December 17, 2025 I'm not saying it's fake, but I think I can fairly say it is extremely exaggerated. Grok also added this: Regarding the sign language interpreter: She's Jennifer Alleman, a certified deaf interpreter (CDI) through the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, based in East Providence, RI. She's deaf herself, a primary ASL user, and works professionally in education, legal settings, and community interpreting. Her signing style may appear unconventional or "nonsensical" to those unfamiliar with ASL (especially deaf interpreters, who often emphasize expressive facial grammar and classifiers), leading to online misinformation claiming it's fake. However, no reputable sources or deaf advocacy groups have confirmed it as illegitimate—claims of fakeness seem to stem from viral social media posts miscomparing it to past hoaxes like Tampa. When pressed, Grok provided this additional information about how she could do sign language if she can't hear what the original person is saying: Jennifer Alleman: Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI) Jennifer Alleman is a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI), meaning she is deaf herself and a professional interpreter certified by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID). The Interpretation Process CDIs do not directly hear the spoken words, so they work in a team with a hearing ASL interpreter using a relay process common in high-visibility settings like press conferences. How It Typically Works: Step 1: The InputA hearing ASL interpreter (positioned nearby, often off-camera or feeding in) listens to the speakers and signs the content in American Sign Language (ASL) directly to the CDI. Step 2: The InterpretationThe CDI receives that ASL input visually, processes it (drawing on their native fluency in ASL, deep cultural knowledge, and expertise in expressive signing), and then provides a more natural, clear, and accessible interpretation on camera for the deaf audience. Why It Is Effective This often includes: Richer facial expressions Body language Classifiers Spatial elements These factors make the message easier to understand, especially for diverse deaf viewers. Which brings up so many additional questions like why are TWO interpreters needed? Isn't that a waste of resources?  Why couldn't the first interpreter just do the sign language for the crowd? And do you remember the old game of Telephone?  Or some called it "Whisper Down The Line"?  What was the moral of that game?  Every new step and person you added into the mix created more chance the original message would be distorted.  Seems like the same thing would happen here, doesn't it? Anyway, the clip IS authentic, and the full press conference can be viewed here if you like: And if you're anything like me, when you first saw Jennifer, your mind probably did exactly what mine did.... It went to the only other time we've seen such ridiculously over-exaggerated sign language. Remember this?

A video is going viral this morning featuring a segment from Stinchfield Tonight (they do great work over there) where the host claims Chuck Schumer wrote the bill in 1986 that is currently giving the Trump Administration the legal right to blow the narco-terrorist boats coming from Venezuela out of the water. Oh the irony! And that would be an amazing story, but….is it true? You see, it would be really easy for me to just post that video, take a victory lap, and call it a day. But that’s not how we operate around here. I don’t ONLY print news that I know will make you happy. I print news that is verified and Fact-Checked by me as true, first and foremost. So let’s watch the clip together first and then I’ll give you the REST of the story (as Paul Harvey would say)…. Watch here: TRANSCRIPT: This in front of me, this is the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act of 1986, authored by a member of Congress in 1986 from the state of New York. His name? Chuck Schumer. He wrote the law that passed almost unanimously that makes it legal to blow drug boats out of the water. It happened in the ’80s a lot and the ’90s a lot. Go ahead. Look it up, folks. Chuck Schumer, the author of this bill that made what we’re doing with Venezuelan drug boats fully legal. We don’t need permission from the rest of the world. Chuck Schumer gave us that in 1986. Great clip! Amazing soundbite! But….now let’s analyze it. And the short answer is that while Chuck Schumer did vote for the Bill, he wasn’t the primary author.  He was actually one of the sponsors of the larger, umbrella legislation. But that’s not the main point. The main point is does this Law give authorization to blow the narco-terrorist boats out of the water? And the answer, truthfully, is no.  It’s more of a “policing” Law, not a “War” Law. ***BUT THAT’S NOT THE END OF THE STORY — keep reading, and I’ll give you the good stuff down below.*** First though, here are more details to backup what I just told you: 1. Did Chuck Schumer author the law? Partially True. The Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act (MDLEA) was enacted in 1986 as part of the massive Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986. Chuck Schumer’s Role: In 1986, Chuck Schumer was a member of the House of Representatives from New York. He was a key sponsor of the broader Anti-Drug Abuse Act (H.R. 5484), which included the MDLEA provisions. Bi-Partisan Support: The bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan support (395-17 in the House and 97-2 in the Senate) and was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. 2. Does the law make it legal to “blow drug boats out of the water”? False. The MDLEA is a criminal prosecution statute, not a “rules of engagement” document for lethal force. What it actually does: It allows the U.S. to arrest and prosecute people found with drugs on “stateless” vessels or vessels where the “flag nation” (the country where the boat is registered) gives the U.S. permission to board. Lethal Force: The law does not grant a “license to kill” or authorize “blowing boats out of the water” as a standard procedure. Under both U.S. Coast Guard policy and international law, lethal force is strictly a last resort used for self-defense or to disable a vessel that refuses to stop—but it is intended to stop the vessel for boarding and arrest, not to destroy it and its crew. 3. “We don’t need permission from the rest of the world.” Misleading. The MDLEA actually relies heavily on international “permission” through Shiprider Agreements and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) principles. If a boat belongs to another country (like Venezuela), the U.S. generally must get permission from that country to exercise jurisdiction, unless the vessel is deemed “stateless” (not flying a flag or claiming a nation). Acting without this permission on the high seas is typically a violation of international sovereignty. 4. Current Context: Venezuela and “Narco-Terrorism” The claim mentions “what we’re doing with Venezuelan drug boats.” This likely refers to recent 2025 reports of U.S. military strikes against vessels associated with the Tren de Aragua or other cartels. Legal experts and international bodies (like Chatham House) have noted that these lethal strikes are a departurefrom traditional MDLEA enforcement, which is based on arrest and trial, not summary destruction. The U.S. government has recently used “self-defense” or “narco-terrorism” designations to justify more aggressive actions, but these are distinct from the specific authorities granted by Schumer’s 1986 legislation. Summary Table | Claim | Accuracy | Reality | | :— | :— | :— | | Schumer authored it? | True | He was a primary sponsor of the 1986 omnibus drug bill. | | Legal to blow up boats? | False | The law is for prosecution/arrest, not execution/destruction. | | No permission needed? | False | International law requires flag-state consent for most boardings. | Ok, so is all hope lost? Is the Trump Administration operating illegally? Of course not! Here’s the REAL authority they are operating under, and it is ROCK SOLID: While the 1986 Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act (MDLEA) established the framework for U.S. jurisdiction over drug boats on the high seas, it is not the authority being used for the lethal strikes reported in late 2025. The current administration has largely moved away from the MDLEA’s law-enforcement approach (arrest and trial) toward a military model. Here are the specific legal justifications the U.S. government is reportedly using today: 1. Article II Powers & Self-Defense The primary justification cited by the White House (in notifications to Congress) is the President’s Article II powers as Commander-in-Chief. The Argument: The administration views the influx of fentanyl and other drugs as a literal “assault” on the American people that has killed hundreds of thousands. National Security: Under this logic, the president has the inherent authority to use military force to protect the nation from a “foreign threat,” bypassing the traditional “police” methods outlined in the 1986 law. 2. “Non-International Armed Conflict” (NIAC) In reports from late 2025, the Department of Justice and the Pentagon have argued that the U.S. is now in a “non-international armed conflict” with specifically designated “narco-terrorist” organizations (such as the Tren de Aragua). Combatant Status: By framing this as a “war” rather than “law enforcement,” the administration argues that members of these cartels are “enemy combatants.” * Lethal Force: Under the Laws of War, you can target an enemy combatant with lethal force (like a missile strike) without first attempting to arrest them, whereas under the 1986 MDLEA, you are required to use only the force necessary to stop the vessel for boarding. 3. The “Narco-Terrorism” Designation The administration has utilized the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) designation to treat drug traffickers the same way the U.S. treated Al-Qaeda or ISIS. Justification: A classified Justice Department memo (leaked/discussed in late 2025) reportedly argues that because these groups use violence to destabilize allies and fund their operations through drugs, they meet the criteria for military engagement. The “Double-Tap” Controversy: This legal framing is used to justify “kinetic strikes” (bombing) rather than “interdiction” (boarding). It has led to intense debate, particularly regarding “double-tap” strikes on survivors, which the administration defends as “eliminating the threat” but critics label as war crimes. 4. Collective Self-Defense The administration also argues that these strikes are a form of “collective self-defense” on behalf of regional allies (like Mexico or Colombia) who are being “attacked” by cartel violence funded by these shipments. This allows the U.S. to argue it is acting within international norms for assisting allies against armed non-state actors. Comparison of Legal Frameworks Feature 1986 MDLEA (Schumer/Reagan) 2025 “Southern Spear” Policy Primary Goal Arrest, seizure, and U.S. court trial. Destruction of cargo and elimination of crew. Legal Basis Statutory criminal law (18 U.S.C.). Article II / Law of Armed Conflict. Force Level Minimum necessary to board/disable. Maximum force (missile/drone strikes). Role of Other Nations Requires “Flag State” consent. Acts unilaterally or via “Self-Defense.”

You just have to love the timing and the absolute fearlessness shown by this Trump Administration. While President Trump was addressing the Nation last night in what I believe will go down as a very historic speech, the Dept. of War was not sleeping. Nope! Sec. Hegseth and all the excellent people operating under him just blew up another narco-terrorist boat heading for the USA. Watch here: Here was the announcement from the U.S. Southern Command, and note the date/time stamp: On Dec. 17, at the direction of @SecWar Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters. Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was transiting along a known… pic.twitter.com/Yhu3LSOyea — U.S. Southern Command (@Southcom) December 18, 2025 At this point, what I’m really blown away by (pun intended) is the fact that anyone would actually agree to board and operate these boats at this point. It’s a known death sentence! So I can only assume that they are not doing so willingly but under threat of WORSE death by the Maduro Regime. Do you understand? I image the conversation or implication is “You will drive this boat to the United States and good luck to you we hope you make it, or if you refuse you will be tortured and killed here in Venezuela and given a horrific death.” That is the ONLY scenario in which I could envision any person would knowingly get aboard one of these boats at this point. And in that case, then you clearly are dealing with a murderous, evil Regime. Your thoughts?

As we move deeper into the winter months, doctors are sounding the alarm about a more aggressive flu season already spreading across the globe. According to a recent report from Fox News, a new strain of Influenza A — H3N2, subclade K — is driving a surge in cases, including here in the United States. Public health experts are calling it a “perfect storm” strain due to its severity, rapid spread, and the fact that this year’s flu vaccine does not directly match the variant. Symptoms are familiar—fever, chills, fatigue, cough, sore throat—but reports suggest they are more intense and longer-lasting than what many people are used to. While mainstream media outlets like Fox News are just now reporting on this new variant, The Wellness Company’s Dr. Peter McCullough has been warning about it for weeks. Weeks ago, Dr. Peter McCullough warned on Real America’s Voice that we were heading into a difficult respiratory season — not just with flu, but alongside RSV and COVID-19. Dr. McCullough not only warned about this new variant but warned that the flu vaccine would be even less effective than usual against it. Telling Real America’s Voice: “This year’s dominant H3N2 strain is unlikely to respond well to the current flu vaccine formulation, despite millions of Americans receiving it.” STEP 1:  PREVENTION Dr. McCullough has consistently emphasized strengthening first-line defenses, especially during travel, holiday gatherings, and time spent in crowded indoor spaces. That’s why he recommends Immune Defense nasal spray and throat spray, used daily to help support the body’s natural defenses where viruses most often enter — the nose and throat.* These sprays are designed to help support protection against: Common cold viruses Influenza RSV COVID-19 They are especially important if you’re flying, using public transportation, shopping indoors, going to the gym, or gathering with family during the holidays. STEP 2:  EARLY TREATMENT While prevention is critical, sometimes nothing you do can prevent you from getting sick, that’s when early treatment becomes so important. That’s why many families choose to keep the Contagion Emergency Kit on hand. It includes physician-prescribed antiviral options—including Tamiflu, when appropriate—so treatment can begin at the first sign of illness, not days later after pharmacy delays or packed urgent care visits. When flu hits hard, timing can make a real difference. ACT TODAY TO BE PREPARED! This winter isn’t about fear — it’s about being informed and prepared. Flu strains change Vaccine effectiveness varies Respiratory viruses surge during travel and indoor gatherings Be prepared for whatever this flu season brings. Follow Dr. McCullough’s 2-step process to staying safe and healthy! First, with TWC’s Immune Defense Nasal spray and Throat spray – to avoid getting sick to begin with! Second, access to early treatment with TWC’s Contagion Emergency Kit. Two easy steps that you can take today to keep you and your family healthy!

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar is big mad about President Trump’s expanded travel ban for 3rd world countries. Today, President Trump added 20 additional countries to a travel ban list. More on that here: President Trump Adds New Countries To Travel Ban List, Here’s All 39 Countries Somalia, Ilhan Omar's home country, was already on the original travel ban list. After the extended list dropped today, Omar went on CNN to rage about how "cruel and inhumane" it is. Watch her full reaction here for yourself: Backup here, if needed: JUST IN: Ilhan Omar is PANICKING after Trump’s massive 3rd world travel ban, calling it “cruel and inhumane” We are keeping TERRORISTS out of America for good!

If Ilhan Omar is against this travel ban, that's a pretty good sign that President Trump is doing something right to fix this mess created by previous administrations! If she is against it, then it was the right thing to do. — Thomad (@LundThomad) December 17, 2025 Your thoughts?
