Man, I really hate having to cover this but we were warned: Symbolism Will Be Their Downfall. And I’m not saying Erika Kirk is a Freemason or Member of the Eastern Star, but I am saying I know what my eyes just saw and directly behind her on stage while accepting the first “Charlie Kirk Legacy Award” was a massive Masonic Compass. Here’s a close up screenshot I took, which only shows part of it: You can see it more clearly in this zoomed-out view: And you can see it most clearly in this photo” I know, I know, it’s just a coincidence right? Just a stage design with crossing triangles and it just happens to look similar to the Masonic “G” Compass. Sure, maybe. Also, this was a ceremony put on by Fox News and I’m sure Erika had no involvement in set design, so who chose to use this imagery? Is it all just a big old coincidence that all these Masonic symbols keep popping up everywhere?

After Rob Reiner and his wife Michele viciously had their necks slit with a knife in Brentwood last night (NOTE: I seem to remember two other people getting their throats slit in Brentwood too if I remember correctly) old footage has re-emerged of Al Franken roasting Carl Reiner back in 2000, claiming that he used to repeatedly rape his son, Rob Reiner. I guess this stuff is funny to these people? Look, I get it, it’s a Friars Club Roast and the theme of these Roasts is to go over the top, but I don’t really see what the joke is here at all….do you? What is possibly funny about this? Watch for yourself and see what you think: TRANSCRIPT: See, as a baby, Rob was routinely beaten by his father, Carl. On a typical night, Carl would slip into Rob’s bed, Jesus, roll him over, swab him down, and say something like, “I’m thinking about hiring Morey Amsterdam to play Buddy Sorrell. What do you think?” The success of The Dick Van Dyke Show changed things dramatically. Carl started inviting many of his famous friends to, son. Woo! Geez. More here: https://x.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/2000645027886699002 Again, where’s the joke? I’m not claiming any of this is real or truthful, but they do say comedy is often rooted in some level of truth and that’s where the humor comes from? Look, don’t shoot the messenger, I’m not the one who said it.  I’m not the one who thought it was funny.  Al Franken said it.  Al Franken thought it was funny. I don’t get it at all. Your thoughts?

Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA), who is the second-highest-ranked House Democrat, will get a primary challenge in the 2026 midterm elections. Clark is the House Minority Whip and is only behind House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in the party’s ranking order. Jonathan Paz, a former city council member from Waltham, Massachusetts, will challenge Clark. “I’m running for Congress to put power back in your hands. Working families deserve to thrive, not be squeezed out of the communities they love. I will fight for the working class, not the donor class. Watch why this moment is ours,” Paz, the son of Bolivian immigrants, wrote on X. “I’m challenging one of the most powerful Democrats in the House because we need new leadership,” Paz said in his campaign announcement video. “Let’s just call it what it is: our Democratic leaders are failing us. They’re not stopping Trump. They’re not making life more affordable. They’re not building a party for the working class. That’s why we need to rebuild the Democratic Party,” he continued.

Clark is likely to be the highest-ranking House Democrat to face a contested primary. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries had faced a run by New York City Council Member Chi Ossé, but Ossé dropped the bid earlier this month. Clark ran unopposed in 2024 and had more than $1.8 million in her campaign coffers as of the end of September. No. 2 House Democrat Katherine Clark gets primary challenger https://t.co/CuLhGKU9Cx — POLITICO (@politico) December 15, 2025 Your opinion? The Hill shared further info about Paz: Paz founded two organizations supporting residents impacted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and its raids. In the ad, he touched on his background as someone who was born in the U.S., raised in Bolivia and then returned to the U.S. when he was still a child, watching his parents work multiple jobs to make ends meet. He shared his experience being 14 years old and watching his father be detained and deported, and being the first in his family to get a college education. His campaign also touts some of his advocacy efforts, including helping organize an opposition effort that successfully defeated a ballot measure from moving forward in the Bay State that would have allowed ride-hailing drivers to be considered independent contractors with some benefits.

We reported to you last week that two members of our military had been killed in an ambush in Syria. That report here in case you missed it: BREAKING: U.S. Soldiers Killed in Ambush Near Palmyra as Syria Fighting Intensifies Again Their names were not released until today. Sadly, the two have been identified as Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres Tovar and Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard, both of the Iowa National Guard: Our entire National Guard family mourns the loss of Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres Tovar, 25, of Des Moines, Iowa, and Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard, 29, of Marshalltown, Iowa-the Iowa Army National Guard Soldiers who were ambushed and killed in Syria. Their mission was in support of… pic.twitter.com/eXcyCquOwb — Gen. Steven Nordhaus (@ChiefNGB) December 15, 2025 From the NY Post: The US troops who were killed and injured in Saturday’s ambush attack in Syria were members of the Iowa National Guard, a senior US official told Fox News. An ISIS gunman opened fire with an automatic weapon in the central Syrian town of Palmyra, killing two Iowa National Guard soldiers and an American civilian translator, the official said. Three additional US soldiers were wounded in the attack. Preliminary information suggests the attacker was once affiliated with the Syrian government forces and had been a low-level member of the Syrian Security Forces, before later becoming connected to ISIS, the official said. “He was not a part of the official delegation that was being escorted by the US and Syrian troops,” the official said. “… This would not be considered a ‘green on blue’ incident because the Syrian gunman was not part of the US/Syrian partnered delegation.” Earlier Saturday, US Central Command confirmed the deaths and injuries were a “result of an ambush by a lone ISIS gunman in Syria.” President Donald Trump warned that there will be “very serious retaliation” following the ambush. “We mourn the loss of three Great American Patriots in Syria, two soldiers, and one Civilian Interpreter. Likewise, we pray for the three injured soldiers who, it has just been confirmed, are doing well,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. While I do not in any way want to diminish the service of these two heroic and wonderful individuals, can we take a moment to discuss why in the Hell the IOWA National Guard is serving over in Syria? Let alone the question of whether we need to continue being the World Police, deploying troops in virtually every other country on the face of the Earth, that's a different discussion --  but assuming there is a valid need for US Troops in Syria, are you telling my the Army, Navy, Air Force and Space Force are not sufficient?  We really need to send the IOWA National Guard? Perhaps if we kept the Iowa National Guard in, oh I don't know....IOWA....perhaps we could start making Iowa Great Again instead of Syria? And almost certainly if we kept the Iowa National Guard in Iowa these two individuals would still be alive today as I type this. I don't mean to go all "Code Pink" on you, but enough is enough....bring our troops home! And if you can't bring all of our troops home, let's start with the National Guard. The very name says NATIONAL Guard.  If there is any branch of the USMIL that should stay home on domestic soil, shouldn't it be the National Guard? Can we start there? Start by bringing every last National Guard member home. This is an abomination: Why Have ALL 50 States Deployed National Guard Units Overseas? You learn something new every day... Until recently, I thought the National Guard was strictly a domestic operation designed to protect people here at home. While the Army, Navy and Air Force were designed to protect us in international conflict, I was always under the impression that the purpose of the National Guard was to make sure we had sufficient protections and help back here at home, if our military was deployed elsewhere. I was shocked to learn that is NOT the case. In fact, all 50 states have deployed troops overseas just within the last 4 years, with many currently deployed as we speak! Once again, it's America LAST for the Biden Regime! Draining our resources and our treasure and sending them everywhere but the actual United States. This is so wrong!

When I pressed ChatGPT on the primary mission for the Guard, it admitted the primary mission was to protect the homeland and respond to domestic emergencies, but we have clearly strayed far from that stated mission: Yes, the National Guard's primary mission is to protect the homeland and respond to domestic emergencies, disasters, and other critical needs within the United States. This mission stems from the historical roots of the National Guard as a state-based militia, designed to assist governors in managing state emergencies, such as hurricanes, floods, fires, civil disturbances, and more​. The National Guard operates under a dual state and federal mission, meaning that while it is primarily designed to protect the interests of individual states and respond to domestic crises, it can also be federalized by the President to support broader national defense missions. When activated for federal service, the National Guard is deployed alongside the active-duty military to support U.S. interests abroad, contributing to global operations such as combat missions, peacekeeping, and humanitarian aid. This flexibility is part of the Guard's unique role in the U.S. military structure​. While the National Guard is crucial for domestic operations, global deployments allow the Guard to support U.S. national security interests by participating in international operations and defense collaborations, often in partnership with NATO and other allies. These missions enhance the Guard's readiness, provide vital training, and contribute to global stability, which in turn helps safeguard the U.S. at home by addressing threats abroad before they reach American shores. Did you know this was happening? Folks, fixing this Country isn't all that hard...you start with absolute NONSENSE like this.... The freaking NATIONAL Guard of Alabama does not need to be patrolling the "Horn of Africa" whatever the hell that even means! There are literally only two words in the name: NATIONAL-GUARD In other words, Guard OUR Nation! And they have completely screwed that up! Sorry folks, this really fires me up....I am so sick of paying sky high taxes so that we can send the fucking Alabama National Guard to go patrol the "Horn of Africa"! Seriously, are you kidding me with this? Is someone pranking me on hidden camera? This. Is. INSANE! America is not the policeman of the world. Every single last troop and dollar of the National Guard that is deployed one inch beyond our physical borders should be recalled immediately and those expenses instantly slashed from all budgets. What the hell is wrong with our leaders? Spending our tax dollars to send the Alabama National Guard to go patrol the Horn of Africa? This is insane! Either our leaders are completely asleep at the wheel or they are corrupt. My money is on the latter.
