How one Dane kept the Saxons at bay for two and a half hours!

The US Navy delivered a list of potential punishments for Mark Kelly after he appeared in an insurrection video with five other Democrats. In it, he urged soldiers to rebel against their “illegal” or “unethical” orders. There were no illegal or unethical orders, as explained by another of the Seditious Six who appeared in the […] The post US Navy Considers Punishments for Sen.

House Oversight Democrats released 19 photos on Friday that show sex offender Jeffrey Epstein hanging out with prominent figures, including President Donald Trump. The images, which belong to the Epstein estate, are part of the roughly 95,000 photos in the hands of lawmakers on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Some of the 19 photos also include former President Bill Clinton, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, filmmaker Woody Allen, and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. The photo of Trump that Democrats have zeroed in on is a black-and-white image of a young Trump standing with six women whose faces have been censored to protect their privacy. It’s unclear where or when the photo was taken. Other images from Epstein’s estate show sex toys, and one photo features a bowl of “Trump Condoms” sold for $4.50. The packaging on the condoms shows Trump’s face with the text, “I’m Huuuuge!” The condoms were made in 2016 as political satire and designed by Fishs Eddy, a housewares and novelty shop in New York City, according to the National Museum of American History. It’s unclear where or when the photo of the sex toys and condoms were taken. In another photo released by House Democrats, Trump is standing alongside Epstein and a woman who appears to be model Ingrid Seynhaeve. The photo is from a 1997 Victoria’s Secret Party in Manhattan, the Daily Mail reported. Trump and Epstein were pals in the 1990s and early 2000s, before Epstein was charged with sex trafficking. None of the photos of Trump released by House Democrats on Friday implicate the president or any of the other men shown in the images. The White House ripped House Democrats for “selectively releasing cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative.” Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships “The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked and the Trump Administration has done more for Epstein’s victims than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for transparency, releasing thousands of pages of documents, and calling for further investigations into Epstein’s Democrat friends,” added White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson. “It’s time for the media to stop regurgitating Democrat talking points and start asking Democrats why they wanted to hang around Epstein after he was convicted.” Democrats called the photos “disturbing” and believe they “raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.” “Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!” the Oversight Democrats added. Other powerful men appeared in the photos from Epstein’s estate, including Bill Gates, who was pictured alongside Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former prince whose royal title was stripped earlier this year after fallout over his close relationship with Epstein and allegations leveled against him by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre. Former President Clinton was also seen in one of the newly released photos, where he was standing alongside Epstein and Epstein’s co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. Clinton was close to Epstein for years, and rode in the sex offender’s infamous private jet on multiple occasions. The former president has not been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein’s crimes. Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon showed up in three of the photos released on Friday, one of which included him talking to Epstein and another that showed him talking to Woody Allen. Bannon was working on a documentary about Epstein up until Epstein’s arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. On the day Epstein was arrested, Bannon was messaging the financier about potentially filming on Epstein’s notorious Little St. James island. Bannon also has never been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein’s crimes.

If Americans keep choosing cheap, processed food over healthier options, taxpayers will have to keep footing the bill with higher healthcare costs, Republican Congressman Eric Burlison warned Congress on Friday. Before he took to the House floor, The Daily Wire sat down with Burlison to learn about his health care solutions. “Healthcare is not just about insurance, it’s about being healthy,” Burlison told The Daily Wire. “When you look at the amount of money that we spend per capita on food versus other countries, we buy cheap food. Other countries spend more money on food, but they also spend less money on health care. In America, we spend a little money on healthy food but a lot of money on the back end in insurance.” Total United States health spending for 2025 is expected to be $5.6 trillion, according to the Health Affairs National Health Expenditure Projections. And over the next decade, America’s medical bills are projected to grow about 1.5% faster every year than GDP. In 2025, Medicare was the largest line item in the United States’ spending budget, accounting for 17.8%.  Burlison believes the solution lies in his Make America Healthy Again Accounts, which he is spearheading alongside Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The accounts are “a supercharged, tax-free health account” and would allow individuals to contribute $25,000 tax-free and $50,000 per family every year. The money in the accounts rolls over each year and never expires.  “The unique idea that we have,” Burlison told The Daily Wire, “is we’re going to allow for a particular amount of money out of this account to be spent on healthy food, protein, produce, vitamin supplements, and yes, maybe a gym membership, so that people are encouraged. Don’t go buy junk food, go buy unprocessed healthy food. And if you do buy it, we’re going to give you a tax deduction on that.”  Burlison says employers will be able to contribute to the account, allowing them to “help cover premiums or out-of-pocket expenses without wasting money on the current bloated system.” He wants every account to come with a $5,000 interest-free credit line for deductibles or unexpected costs. His pitch to the House comes right as the Senate failed to advance two competing health care proposals authored to replace the Affordable Care Act subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of this year. Democrats continue to advocate for an extension of Obamacare that would increase the deficit by $350 billion if made permanent. “The American people made it clear they wanted the ACA tax credits extended,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Burlison, however, compared the extension to throwing money on a sinking ship. “I think it’s a fool’s errand to throw money down on the sinking ship,” said Burlison. “Instead, we really need to reform healthcare and let people purchase the healthcare that they truly want and need.” Speaker Mike Johnson says he has plans to hold a floor vote on a GOP plan next week.

Since disclosing his cancer diagnosis in early 2024, King Charles has kept most information private. We do not know what kind of cancer he has or the prognosis. His daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, also faced a cancer diagnosis in the same year and chose to keep details private. Buckingham Palace released a statement in February 2024 confirming the king’s decision not to speak on the matter. “His majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer,” Buckingham Palace shared in 2024. A special message from The King, in support of Stand Up To Cancer. As part of this year’s @SU2CUK campaign, @CR_UK and @Channel4, with support from the @NHS, have launched a nationwide Screening Checker to help people find out which cancer screening programmes they are… pic.twitter.com/K5kSQ0Utx3— The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) December 12, 2025 King Charles Appeared Ready to Discuss His Cancer King Charles shared good news in his cancer journey update. “Today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to ‘doctors’ orders,’ my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the New Year,” he said. “This milestone is both a personal blessing and a testimony to the remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care in recent years. Testimony that I hope may give encouragement to the fifty percent of us who will be diagnosed with the illness at some point in our lives,” King Charles added. Many thanked King Charles for speaking up about his cancer diagnosis. “A profoundly important and potentially life-saving initiative. The integration of a nationwide Screening Checker demystifies a critical aspect of preventive healthcare, directly empowering individuals with knowledge and access. This move, championed by His Majesty and driven by collaboration between major institutions, transcends mere awareness. It provides a tangible tool for public agency. Such efforts underscore that the most noble use of influence and technology is in safeguarding the health and dignity of every citizen. A commendable step forward in public health advocacy,” someone wrote. “Such wonderful news!! Thank you for raising awareness on this important topic. god save the king,” another person shared.

'They have political problems coming their way'

'We don’t trust anyone anymore'

On Thursday, November 13th, I had the distinct pleasure of viewing the new Low Rhythm Rising exhibit, which celebrates the music of Muscle Shoals at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. It was great seeing dresses and suits worn onstage by Arthur Alexander, Dan Penn, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Candi Staton, Percy Sledge, Mavis and Pops Staples, and Wilson Pickett. Wilson has been my hero for many years. I produced a tribute album for him in 2024 in Muscle Shoals. It was also great seeing guitars, basses, and other musical instruments which were played live and in the The post Muscle Shoals Legends On Display At the Country Music Hall Of Fame appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Conservative activists are preparing for the Indiana primaries following Thursday’s failed redistricting vote. In the Indiana Senate, 21 Republican state senators joined 10 Democrats in voting against a congressional map that would have potentially given the GOP two more seats in Congress. The GOP state lawmakers’ vote has supercharged conservative activists who spoke to The Daily Signal about what they would be doing to make sure those Republicans who voted against redistricting lost their seats in office. The Establishment GOP Problem Benny Johnson, a conservative activist and host of “The Benny Show,” called out the establishment GOP in an interview with The Daily Signal. Referring to Republicans who cave to pressure by the establishment, Johnson said noted that they end up serving “Democrats in our policymaking.” That point may go a long way to explaining why a state senate that had forty Republicans and only 10 Democrats still voting against giving the GOP more seats in Congress. Those types of Republicans “always want to be loved by the left,” Johnson added “You know, Indiana has been a red state for a very, very, very long time. People get very comfortable in that environment. They get squishy, get soft, and they get neutered,” the conservative commentator postulated. Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith told The Daily Signal that “This is the problem with Republicans in general: we are not engaged up front with the issues as much as the Democrats are.” Beckwith also addressed a structural problem in Indiana’s elections. “We have open primaries, which is the most foolish primary system you could have. There was a marketing campaign last primary season that said Democrats can vote in Republican primaries too,” Beckwith explained.  That issue was also raised by Johnson, who told The Daily Signal that “open primaries, ranked choice voting: these are kind of platforms that are driven by the left.” “They get passed in squishy places like Indiana, in order to rig elections like this,” Johnson continued, adding “Obviously, when you have a bunch of Democrats voting for a Republican, what do you think you’re going to get as the result there?”  I am very disappointed that a small group of misguided State Senators have partnered with Democrats to reject this opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps and to reject the leadership of President Trump. Ultimately, decisions like this carry political consequences. I will…— Governor Mike Braun (@GovBraun) December 11, 2025 Johnson contrasted the Hoosier state with Florida where the activist noted “Republicans still know how to fight and understand what’s at stake and understand how quickly elections can get rigged and how bad things can go downhill.” Beckwith also suggested that some Republicans in the Indiana government have gone squishy. “There are Republicans in the senate right now that if you had to take a Republican litmus test right now: strengthen the border, anti-DEI, etc. There are Republicans who have consistently voted against those bills in the state senate,” Beckwith explained. ‘The Cavalry Is Coming’: Conservative Orgs Prepare for Indiana Primaries The failure to redistrict Indiana has galvanized national political organizations to spend in a state they had previously written off as thoroughly conservative.  “Turning Point Action is preparing to invest substantial resources into any primary race involving Republican senators who voted against the redistricting plan for Indiana,” Brett Galaszewski, the Enterprise Director Legacy Field Program at Turning Point Action told The Daily Signal. Galaszewski explained that those resources would be deployed to “significant field operations—including paid staff, ballot-chase infrastructure, and other grassroots assets.”  ”Heritage Action will be actively involved in holding accountable the senators who voted no, including supporting primary efforts against Republicans who ignored their voters,” Tiffany Justice, the executive vice president of Heritage Action, said in a statement. “My fellow Hoosiers and I are incredibly disappointed by the senators who voted against redistricting,” Monica Boyer, a Heritage Action Sentinel who is from Warsaw, Indiana, told The Daily Signal. “Conversations are beginning about efforts to primary the senators who let their constituents down. We need to give Indiana a voice. We will not be silenced by those hellbent to kneel to California liberals,” Boyer added. Johnson is optimistic about what the outcome will be from these efforts. “I mean, these are like races where five thousand people vote, and so these are easily flippable,” he told The Daily Signal. The lieutenant governor also expressed appreciation for the national help. “I feel like the cavalry is coming,” he told The Daily Signal.
