Sixty years have passed since The Sound of Music released, and yet, it remains as timeless as ever. This multi-generationally loved film contains so many important messages, many of which are still relevant to this day. In addition to the story, there’s also the beautiful sights and sounds. It’s no wonder fans dream of visiting the many gorgeous locations featured in it… but did you know that it’s actually possible? When Lauren Hendy had the opportunity to visit The Sound of Music house, she was quick to take it. The home still looks stunning… but it’s no longer a house. Instead, the building used for the von Trapp home is now a luxury hotel. In the backyard, you can expect to find a familiar view of a beautiful lake. Check out the views yourself in the video below! @laurenhendy Fr the trip of a lifetime such a special and nostalgic weekend #soundofmusic #travel #europe #salzburg #fypp #memories #bucketlist #hotel ♬ Edelweiss – Bill Lee & Charmian Carr “I’ll be jealous of you for the rest of my life omg,” someone admits in reply to Lauren’s video.

UPDATE: Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said in a Sunday evening press conference that the violence was “getting increasingly worse and more violent.” “This violence that I’ve seen, it’s disgusting,” McDonnell said, according to Fox News. “It’s escalated now, since the beginning of this incident. What we saw the first night was bad. What we’ve seen subsequent to that is getting increasingly worse and more violent.” “We’ve seen people with hammers … breaking the bollards behind the federal building and taking the rocks. If you will, or pieces of concrete and throwing them at officers,” McDonnell added. “We’ve had liquid—of who knows what, description thrown at officers. There’s no limit to what they’re, doing to our officers,” he added. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, “Jim McDonnell, the highly respected LAPD Chief, just stated that the protesters are getting very much more aggressive, and that he would ‘have to reassess the situation,’ as it pertains to bringing in the troops. He should, RIGHT NOW!!! Don’t let these thugs get away with this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized Trump in a X post, writing, “Local law enforcement didn’t need help” and “Trump sent troops anyway — to manufacture chaos and violence.” Let’s get this straight:1) Local law enforcement didn’t need help.2) Trump sent troops anyway — to manufacture chaos and violence.3) Trump succeeded.4) Now things are destabilized and we need to send in more law enforcement just to clean up Trump’s mess. https://t.co/g6bwwZ29fc— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) June 9, 2025 Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a Democrat, wrote on X, “Angelenos — don’t engage in violence and chaos.

ICE began the raids Friday, and agitators took to the streets in downtown Los Angeles and Paramount, Calif. Democrats condemned both the ICE raids and the National Guard response to the riots. “In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE officers and federal law enforcement agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a news release Saturday. “These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens.” “That is why President Trump has signed a presidential memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester,” Leavitt added. “The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs.” Fox News circulated a video of agitators driving motorcycles around a burning car amid the protests.

Democrats Condemn ICE, National Guard Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned the ICE raids on Friday. “This morning, we received reports of federal immigration enforcement actions in multiple locations in Los Angeles,” she wrote. “As mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, I am deeply angered by what has taken place. These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city.” “My office is in close coordination with immigrant rights community organizations,” she added. “We will not stand for this.” We will not stand for this. pic.twitter.com/Ug1CN4JKOz— Mayor Karen Bass (@MayorOfLA) June 6, 2025 The Department of Homeland Security, likely in response to this criticism, released a list of six illegal alien criminals whom authorities detained Saturday.

We are in close…— Governor Gavin Newsom (@CAgovernor) June 8, 2025 Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., took to the street to protest as National Guard troops arrived. “I want to know why they’re here with guns,” Waters told a Los Angeles Times reporter. “Who they gonna shoot? There’s no reason to shoot anybody, even if there are protests.” Trump Celebrates Return to Order President Trump thanked the National Guard for bringing order to the streets Sunday. “Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest,” he posted on Truth Social. He called Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass “incompetent” and “unable to handle the task.” Trump also stated that “MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why???” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem condemned Newsom, saying that if the governor had done his job, “people wouldn’t have gotten hurt the last couple of days.” “We’re not going to let a repeat of 2020 happen,” she added, mentioning the Black Lives Matter riots that claimed at least 26 lives and resulted in between $1 billion and $2 billion in paid insurance claims. Noem noted that a federal law enforcement officer had suffered a shattered wrist during the violence.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. By now, if you believe Britain has taken leave of its senses, you’re not alone. The government has decided that worrying about immigration or caring about British culture might make you a terrorist. This gem of bureaucratic genius comes courtesy of the “Prevent” program, that once well-meaning initiative designed to stop actual terrorism, like bomb plots and people with a fondness for Kalashnikovs, now apparently more concerned with sniffing out your aunt’s Facebook posts about British bulldogs and Yorkshire pudding. Prevent, for those lucky enough not to be familiar, is the UK’s flagship anti-extremism strategy. It was born in the post-9/11 panic and was originally tasked with steering vulnerable individuals away from radicalization. What started as a good-faith attempt to stop kids from being lured into jihadist cults has since mutated into something far less noble: a state-sponsored snooping operation that now treats the phrase “too much immigration” like it’s a secret handshake for neo-Nazis. The smoking gun is a government-hosted training module advising public sector workers, nurses, teachers, librarians, and probably the guy who does your recycling collection, that “cultural nationalism” should be seen as a potential marker for extreme right-wing terrorism. Credit: gov.uk Prevent Refresher Duty Course – via The Telegraph According to this new definition, if you express concern that British towns are changing faster than a TikTok trend, you might not just be a grumbler, you could be a pre-terrorist. Somewhere, Orwell is weeping into his gin. This bureaucratic meltdown is, unsurprisingly, setting off klaxons among those who still cling to the quaint notion of free speech. According to the Telegraph, Lord Young, of the Free Speech Union, has penned a letter to the Home Secretary that might as well have been written in block capitals and underlined in red ink. He warned that the term “cultural nationalism” is so fuzzy it could apply to “politicians across the mainstream political spectrum.” And he’s absolutely right. The line between criminal intent and awkward dinner conversation is vanishing. We’ve now got a scenario where a guy like former government minister Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg can be flagged as an extremist for saying something any newspaper in 2003 would’ve put on page one without blinking. But the real horror show here isn’t even the nonsense definitions. It’s what happens after someone gets flagged. Prevent doesn’t simply have a peek at your file and move along. It keeps your name in its sprawling, dystopian database for six years. And who gets to see this little dossier of shame? Intelligence agencies, of course. The police. And, bizarrely, tax authorities. The result is a system where absolutely no crime needs to be committed, no law needs to be broken. Merely being politically incorrect is enough. Like the 24-year-old autistic man who got referred for watching edgy comedy and browsing the wrong corners of the internet. No evidence of extremism. No plans to do anything remotely illegal. But into the database, he went, like a suspect in a crime that hasn’t been invented yet. It’s not just columnists and freedom-lovers who are worried. Even people who used to run the counter-extremism efforts are now saying, “Hang on, folks, this has gone completely mental.” Professor Ian Acheson, one of the people who advised the Home Office on extremism, has warned that we’re now criminalizing beliefs. “We are now beginning to see the consequences of a referral mechanism built on training like this,” he said, “which skews away from suspicion by conduct to the mere possession of beliefs that are perfectly legitimate.” Sir William Shawcross, the man who used to review Prevent’s operations, found that even former Cabinet ministers were being swept up in the net, thanks to their views on, you guessed it, immigration and national identity. If even the Tory old guard are being branded extremists, you really have to wonder who’s not on this list. His review was brutal. Prevent was inconsistent, wasteful, and politically biased. He called for ideological neutrality and actual standards, both of which, in government circles, are treated like exotic endangered species. Naturally, the Home Office isn’t backing down. According to them, Prevent is “not about restricting debate or free speech.” Which is sort of like saying speed cameras aren’t about catching drivers. They’re just there. Watching. But as the gap widens between what Prevent claims to be and what it actually does, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to believe it’s just a case of mission creep. At best, it’s institutional incompetence dressed up as concern. At worst, it’s state ideology masquerading as national security. So if you’re reading this and thinking this sounds a bit crazy, congratulations. You may already be on a list.

Self-styled ‘misogynist influencer’ claims police radar gun must have been ‘calibrated incorrectly’ and says he cannot afford £300 fine

The Trump administration can claim many historic victories but none greater than securing the southern border. This wasn’t just the fulfillment of Trump’s signature campaign promise — it was a demonstration that “law and order” means nothing without real enforcement.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has become the face of that message. She appears in a series of high-profile ad campaigns — aired nationwide and internationally — warning illegal immigrants to self-deport or face permanent removal. The ads sparked predictable outrage, but the message remains clear: The days of catch-and-release are over.After four long and chaotic years, this country is once again speaking up for our sovereignty, our citizens, and our way of life.But the ads aren’t brazen — they’re brilliant.Democrats have slammed the ads as a waste of money or a form of political advertising. But the truth is, they hate the ads because of how powerful they are.These ads reflect a basic truth: DHS has a duty to enforce federal immigration law. Campaigns like these aren't new. The Biden administration ran its own digital push in 2022 under Customs and Border Protection, urging migrants to “Say No to the Coyote.”But the results now speak louder than any slogan. Trump and Noem haven’t just increased removals or tightened border security — they’ve changed the calculus entirely. Fewer migrants are even attempting to enter the country. That’s the power of clear, consistent messaging.Biden told the world illegal entry wouldn’t carry consequences. Trump has made it clear those days are done.As Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies once noted, the power of presidential messaging became undeniable in 2016. Compare the “Trump effect” to the “Clinton effect”: In November 2016, border agents logged more than 63,000 apprehensions. By March 2017 — just two months into Trump’s first term — that number dropped to just over 12,000.By the end of that term, Trump had slashed both legal and illegal immigration by a staggering 92%. The world took notice.It’s happening again. After four catastrophic years of Joe Biden, Trump’s return to the Oval Office has triggered a collapse in border crossings. Overall encounters have dropped 93% since he took office. In Panama’s Darien Gap — one of the most notorious corridors for illegal migration — crossings have plunged by 99%.The message is getting through: America’s borders are no longer open.Law and order depends, first and foremost, on clarity. It’s one thing to enforce the law, but it’s another thing to make sure everyone knows that you’re enforcing the law. The only way someone can play by the rules is if he knows what the rules are and what the penalties are for breaking those rules.Why do we write down our laws? Any healthy human society already knows that things like murder, theft, and fraud are wrong. That law is written in our hearts. We write down laws and penalties so that everyone knows exactly what the rules are for living together and what happens otherwise. Advertising the information is the entire point of putting it down on paper in the first place.RELATED: ‘Self-deport’ flights begin as some illegal migrants take advantage of Trump's tempting offer Photo by J. David Ake/Getty ImagesIf our laws are to be truly just, they must be stated clearly and enforced faithfully. This is the entire point of having a written set of laws, so that everyone knows the rules of the game and the penalties for breaking them.Laws don’t enforce themselves. Without consequences, they’re just suggestions.Kristi Noem understood that early. She was the first governor to deploy National Guard troops to the southern border in support of Texas during Biden’s open-border disaster. In one meeting with Border Patrol agents, she heard it straight: “There are no consequences right now. Without consequences, there is no enforcement, and there is no law.”That’s changed.Under Trump and Noem, consequences are back. And the whole world knows it.We are no longer seeing mobs of illegal aliens rushing the border wearing Biden campaign T-shirts, expecting to receive free, taxpayer-funded handouts that candidate Biden promised them on the campaign trail. Instead, the corporate left-wing media is forced to churn out pearl-clutching sob stories about how illegal aliens are choosing to self-deport or how businesses that depend on immigrant traffic through the Darien Gap have collapsed due to the decline in immigration.The famous chart from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) proves that President Trump accomplished in just 100 days what it took him four years to do last time. And he’s just getting started. These results are not just a function of enforcement. They are a result of messaging.When America speaks, the world indeed listens. Now, after four long and chaotic years, this country is once again speaking up for our sovereignty, our citizens, and our way of life.

A bombshell report from the New York Times accused the federal government of working with data processing company Palantir to develop a database of Americans' private information.The idea has been criticized as a way for the government to compile sensitive data against naysayers, detractors, or immigrants who could get the boot over their politics. Another interpretation is that the government is simply sharing data between agencies to make processes more efficient, like streamlining tax data or locating illegal immigrants.'Palantir never collects data to unlawfully surveil Americans.'In March, President Trump signed an executive order "ensuring Federal Agencies share critical data, consistent with applicable privacy protections."By April, the New York Times was warning that this compilation of data could mean the government would have hands on civilian information like alimony payments, IP addresses, or student loan defaults, all in the same place.A lot of the data listed would come as no surprise to the average person, given that his Social Security number or criminal history is already firmly in the government's purview. However, the issue rises with the company Palantir — founded by Trump-supporting mega-donor Peter Thiel — gaining access to all this data and compiling it through government contracts.As Newsweek reported, Trump may have allegedly tapped Palantir to create a database of Americans' private information.RELATED: CNBC host tries to get Palantir CEO to side against Rubio, Musk on European speech — but gets a surprise response Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel speaks at the Cambridge Union on May 08, 2024, in Cambridge, England. Photo by Nordin Catic/Getty ImagesPalantir was founded in 2003 by Thiel and Alex Karp, but did not go public until 2020. Karp has publicly boasted about stopping the "far right" in Europe through Palantir's software and the company's work with COVID-19 vaccine distribution. That work is just one of many integrations with the federal government pointed out by the New York Times in a subsequent investigation.For example, Palantir engineers have worked with the IRS since April to organize data on taxpayers, according to two unnamed government officials.According to Wired, Palantir also has a $30 million deal to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement to implement software to achieve "near-real-time" tracking on illegal immigrants.The Social Security Administration and Department of Education are also using Palantir's data integration and analysis tool called Foundry, according to Yahoo.Palantir's response to this firestorm of accusations from left-wing outlets started with directing the Times to a blog post from 2020. Titled "Palantir Is Not a Data Company," the blog states that the company is not a data broker or seller."Unlike many tech companies, our business model is not based on the monetization of personal data," the tech company wrote. "We do not collect, store, or sell personal data. We don't use personal data to train proprietary AI or machine learning models to share or resell to other customers."On June 3, five days after the report accused Palantir of undermining Americans' trust, the tech company took to its X page to accuse the New York Times of publishing "blatantly untrue" content.Echoing its years-old blog post, Palantir said it "never collects data to unlawfully surveil Americans, and our Foundry platform employs granular security protections. If the facts were on its side, the New York Times would not have needed to twist the truth."RELATED: Oculus creator fires back at 'politically obsessive journalists' as hit-piece culture dies — (@) "The Times seeks the facts and the truth," the outlet replied. "Our article is based on excellent, factual reporting, including conversations with Palantir employees and federal officials who have knowledge of Palantir's business before the U.S. government."Palantir's Bill Rivers then went on the attack the next day and accused the New York Times itself of collecting and selling data."Palantir doesn't collect data on Americans but The New York Times does," he wrote. "If you compare third party tracking on NYT vs Palantir websites, NYT makes 38 third-party requests. Palantir makes NONE. They bash Palantir for data privacy but sell and track customer data THEMSELVES."Blaze News asked the New York Times about its data collection and whether or not the outlet sells user data to third parties.Spokesman Charlie Stadtlander said the outlet's reporting on Palantir is based on "a pursuit of facts and truth about a company with large amounts of contracts with the U.S. government, paid for by American taxpayers.""Our reporting is driven by transparency, accountability, and insight for our readers to better understand the forces at play between the government and a large tech company," Stadtlander continued. "Conflating run-of-the-mill corporate policies with the truths expertly uncovered in this reporting seems to be an attempt at deflection and distraction."Stadtlander did not address any collection or sale of user data.Palantir has a point, though, even if it is a misdirection. News websites are havens of data collection, and the farther east you go, the more prevalent it seems to be.A 2018 study from Nieman Lab found that European news outlets are rampant with third-party cookies tracking user data. U.K. and Spanish outlets were by far the worst offenders, followed by French, Polish, Finnish, and German news companies.Websites in just seven European countries averaged 81 third-party cookies per page. Other popular websites (non-news) had just 12 on average.In the battle of data, the left wing does appear to be winning the Pokemon-style game of collecting it all.Google, Facebook, and Adobe were ranked as the top three companies collecting data in 2021, according to pCloud.In 2022, Clario did a deep dive into which apps are tracking user data, including location and contact info. Apple Messages, Snapchat, Instagram, Apple Photos, Safari, and of course Google Maps all ask users for this data.At the same time Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter (pre-Elon Musk), and Tinder were all using face recognition and environment recognition while seeking access to contacts and images. Of those, only Tinder was not taking in voice data/recognition.These are not exactly right-wing companies.'... playing it safe is the most dangerous thing an administration like Trump’s could do.'Return's James Poulos explained that from a tech angle, the federal government is, and has been, in dire need of more security for its data.“It’s been a rough century for civil libertarians, whose dreams of a Wild West web have been dashed at every turn," Poulos said. "Almost always the justification has been the hardest one to challenge: national security."Poulos says that America is so vulnerable to a systemic attack by China that there is not much of an alternative other than to quickly secure its data all at once.He added, "The ancients were well aware that in tough times people would often have to accept regimes of a type and severity that fell below normal hopes and expectations. Here we are again. There's plenty of blame to go around, but with a hand this bad, playing it safe is the most dangerous thing an administration like Trump’s could do."While it will continue to be difficult to discern whether any political aisle is trustworthy with your data, it seems clear that while the left wing is busy pointing out right-wing intrusions — as it should — it may also be acting in self-service, introducing a welcomed distraction from its own data mining.There does exist a third possibility, however: that President Trump is taking a calculated risk by allowing certain actors to secure sensitive information rather than have it fall into the hands of a hostile nation.Like Blaze News?
