Report: Paralyzed Army Vet Killed Himself After Wife Had Affair with Pastor

/0 Comments/in , /by

A paralyzed Army veteran allegedly killed himself after learning that his wife had been having an affair with a controversial pastor in South Carolina.

Chris Skinner, 41, allegedly drowned in a neighborhood pool near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in September of 2021, and though police ruled out a suicide at the time, a new probe has been launched. His sister, Tamra McDermott, told the Daily Mail that new evidence may have surfaced indicating it was not an accident, adding that he likely took his own life after discovering his wife, Suzie, was in an affair with a pastor.

“It would be fair to say that the coroner has reopened the case because there’s been evidence [that’s] come forward that it could potentially not be an accident,” McDermott said.

The coroner wrote at the time that Skinner may have slipped into the pool after coming too close, but the police report said that he stopped at a curve before suddenly moving forward into the water, making it a suicide. New witness testimony also appears to contradict evidence given by Skinner’s wife at the time.

“When looking at the police reports and coroner reports, it is clear there was some inconsistency. Also, it was acknowledged that some of what was said at [the] scene may be inaccurate,” said McDermott.

Trump Pardons Navy Veteran Convicted in Capitol Riot

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump has pardoned a Virginia man whose sentence already was commuted for his convictions stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Thomas Caldwell, a retired Navy intelligence officer, was tried alongside Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes but acquitted of seditious conspiracy — the most serious charge brought in the Jan. 6 attack.

Caldwell’s pardon is dated March 20. Defense attorney David Fischer said he informed Caldwell of the pardon on Monday after learning about it from news reports.

“And he’s elated,” Fischer added.

A jury convicted Caldwell of obstructing Congress and of obstructing justice for tampering with documents after the riot. One of those convictions was dismissed in light of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year. (Read more from “Trump Pardons Navy Veteran Convicted in Capitol Riot” HERE)

Conspiracy Confirmed: DOGE’s Investigation Into Social Security Proves Illegals Have Been Voting

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Thanks to DOGE’s latest investigation into Social Security, we now know that millions of illegals weren’t just raking in max benefits—they were also voting in US elections. Yet again, another so-called conspiracy theory turns out to be completely true, and the American people are the biggest losers.

Antonio Gracias, founder and CEO of a $16 billion growth equity firm, has been working alongside Elon Musk and DOGE to dig into Social Security—and what he uncovered is absolutely devastating. Every hard-working American, especially our elderly living on fixed incomes and barely scraping by, should be outraged. As it turns out, the system isn’t just broken—it’s far more rotten than we ever imagined. . .

Elon Musk, Antonio, and the entire DOGE team have uncovered what looks like a full-blown operation to flood the system: millions of illegals handed Social Security numbers, maxed out on benefits, enrolled in Medicaid, and yes—registered to vote. And even worse is that some of them actually did vote. They found the records. It’s real. It’s happening. And the numbers don’t lie.

Watch this breakdown. See the chart. Hear the admissions. This isn’t a glitch—it’s the system doing exactly what it was rigged to do:

GOP Lawmaker Leaves Top Commanders Shocked After Asking Why Military Isn’t ‘Just Killing’ Narcoterrorists

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Republican lawmaker left two top military commanders stunned Tuesday when he asked why the US is not “just killing” Chinese drug traffickers bringing fentanyl precursors into the Western Hemisphere.

“In your professional military opinion — put aside everything, policy — as an admiral, if we just started killing these people that are killing Americans (through drug overdoses) — 250,000, 300,000 Americans; about the amount of people that died in World War II — why aren’t we just killing these people?” Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) asked Navy Adm. Alvin Holsey, who leads US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), during the House Armed Services Committee hearing.

Holsey, who oversees military operations in and around South America, initially responded by asking what Van Orden meant by “these people.”

“Are you talking about the ships coming across?” Holsey asked.

“I’m talking about these narcoterrorists,” Van Orden replied. “Why aren’t we just killing the people that are killing American citizens? It makes absolutely no sense to me.”

Holsey explained that the military does not have the authority to kill the drug smugglers, and further explained that fentanyl ingredients coming to China for processing in Mexico for eventual smuggling into the United States are being shipped through legal means.

YETI Refuses To Customize Cups With The Word ‘Conservative’

/0 Comments/in , /by

YETI, the pricy cooler and cup company, is apparently not for everyone. While the company partners with organizations promoting left-leaning politics, it does not want its brand associated with conservative customers.

YETI just turned down a small bulk order of mugs from the Virginia-based Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women. The group went through its first batch from last year, so it reordered 48 customized mugs printed with its name and logo. YETI agreed to replenish the group’s supply for about $1,600.

But soon the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women received a note from YETI canceling the order.

“YETI is unable to customize products with text or logos that are licensed, copyrighted, profane, or political in nature,” the note said.

Over the phone, a YETI representative said multiple times the word “conservative” was the problem, Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women President Kimberly Begg told The Federalist. Why did YETI complete the order last year? (Read more from “YETI Refuses To Customize Cups With The Word ‘Conservative’” HERE)

EPA Shuttering Museum That Cost $315 per Visitor to Stay Open — With Barely Anyone Showing Up

/0 Comments/in , /by

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin is canceling a year-old museum dedicated to the EPA’s history — citing its $315-per-visitor cost to operate.

The museum is located on the ground floor of the environmental agency, but recorded very little foot traffic, despite its prime location just a block north of the Smithsonian’s Natural History and American History museums on the National Mall.

“The scarcely visited museum cost a whopping $4 million taxpayer dollars to build in accordance with Smithsonian standards and more than $600,000 annually to operate,” an EPA official said.

“It had less than 2,000 external visitors between May 2024-February 2025 and while the museum was free, the cost to taxpayers per external visitor amounted to nearly $315 per person.”

The museum logged just 1,909 external visitors during the 10-month period. Counting EPA staff visits lowers the per-person operating cost slightly to $190.37. (Read more from “EPA Shuttering Museum That Cost $315 per Visitor to Stay Open — With Barely Anyone Showing Up” HERE)

Trump ‘Not Joking’ About Third Term — and Notes This Apparent Loophole: ‘There Are Methods’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By New York Post. President Trump said he’s “not joking” about serving a third term in the White House — and thinks there’s a loophole to make it happen.

Trump, 78, told NBC’s Kristen Welker in a Sunday morning phone call that “a lot of people want me to do it.”

Trump claimed that “there are methods which you could do it,” including having Vice President JD Vance, 40, run for president with Trump as his vice president. Vance would then resign to allow Trump to regain the top job.

“But there are others too,” Trump said, without elaboration.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, says “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice” — allowing for the potential loophole of Vance resigning in Trump’s favor.

“I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration. I’m focused on the current,” the president said. (Read more from “Trump ‘Not Joking’ About Third Term — and Notes This Apparent Loophole: ‘There Are Methods’” HERE)

Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Running For Third Term

By Daily Caller. President Donald Trump revealed he’s “not joking” about running for a third term during a Sunday phone call with NBC News’s Kristen Welker. . .

“I’m focused on the current,” the president continued.

“I’m not joking,” Trump clarified. “But I’m not — it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are methods which you could do it,” Trump added, responding to a question on if he has embraced plans to seek reelection for a third term. Seeking a third term, however, is prohibited by the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution.

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,” the amendment states. (Read more from “Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Running For Third Term” HERE)

The New York Times Drops a Massive Truth Bomb on the Democrats

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The New York Times editorial board just discovered what conservatives have been saying for years: the Democratic Party is completely out of touch with everyday Americans.

It’s a stunning rebuke from a paper that typically carries the water for Dems. The Times finally admitted the obvious: Democrats’ obsession with identity politics and their “scolding, censorious posture” have driven voters straight into Republicans’ arms.

“In the aftermath of this comprehensive defeat, many party leaders have decided that they do not need to make significant changes to their policies or their message,” the editorial board writes. “They have instead settled on a convenient explanation for their plight.”

They then point out that Democrats are in denial about their electoral struggles, clinging to the idea that they are merely victims of post-pandemic inflation and poor messaging rather than deeper political failures. Party leaders insist their policies are popular but that voter apathy—rather than a genuine shift toward Trump—led to their losses. DNC Chairman Ken Martin claims Democrats simply need to “connect” their message better, while Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz dismisses the idea of winning over Trump voters, instead focusing on mobilizing those who stayed home.

“As comforting as these explanations may feel to Democrats, they are a form of denial that will make it harder for the Democratic Party to win future elections,” they warn. (Read more from “The New York Times Drops a Massive Truth Bomb on the Democrats” HERE)

Hegseth Signs Memo Ordering Return To ‘Sex-Neutral Standards’ In The Military

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By The Federalist. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memo on Sunday ordering the return of “sex-neutral standards” for military combat roles.

“We need to have the same standards, male or female, in our combat roles to ensure our men and women who are under our leaders or in those formations, have the best possible leaders and the highest possible standards that are not based at all on your sex,” Hegseth said.

According to a copy of the directive obtained by The Federalist, Hegseth has instructed the secretaries of America’s military departments to “develop comprehensive plans to distinguish combat arms occupations from non-combat arms occupations.” These plans, as specified by the defense secretary, must also “identify which positions require heightened entry-level and sustained physical fitness” for “certain combat arms roles.”

“These roles, which are critical to our military’s mission success, demand exceptional physical capabilities, and the standards for them must reflect that rigor,” Hegseth wrote.

The plans to be developed by the military departments must address “Ground Combat Operations,” “Special Operations Forces (SOF) Occupations,” and “Specialized Occupations,” according to the directive.

Hegseth Orders Same Physical Requirements for Men, Women in Combat Roles, Says U.S. ‘Allowed Standards to Slip’

By New York Post. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a memo Monday ordering men and women to meet the same physical fitness requirements if they want to serve in combat roles, saying the Pentagon had “allowed standards to slip.”

“Different standards for men and women in combat arms, MOS and jobs, that’s not acceptable,” Hegseth said in a video posted to X, using the abbreviation for “military occupational specialty,” or job type.

“We have to have the same standard — male or female — in our combat roles to ensure our men and women who are under our leaders, or in those formations, have the best possible leaders and the highest possible standards that are not based at all on your sex.”

The memo, which orders the military branches to “develop comprehensive plans to distinguish combat arms occupations from non-combat arms occupations,” specifies in hand-underlined text that the soon-to-be-developed standards must not “result in any existing service member being held to a lower standard.”

“All entry-level and sustained physical fitness requirements within combat arms positions must be sex-neutral, based solely on the operational demands of the occupation and the readiness needed to confront any adversary,” Hegseth wrote.

CEO Facing Lawsuit Says He’ll Be Dragged to Jail Before Taking Down Store’s American Flag

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The CEO of Camping World, a national RV dealer with stores in 200-plus locations, is facing a lawsuit by another city over its massive American flag that waves outside a dealership.

City leaders in Greenville, N.C., voted 4-2 last week to initiate legal action to take down the American flag at a Camping World dealership. The vote came amid another lawsuit filed by the city of Sevierville, Tennessee.

“Not when they sue, not when I lose, not if they take me to jail, the flag is not coming down,” Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis said last week after the city council in Greenville, North Carolina, voted to authorize the filing of civil action against the company, WITN reported. “While I respect the city council’s position and while I understand they have the right to sue me, and they’re going to and I understand I have the right to defend myself, the flag is never coming down.”

“They need to sue me, not the business, because I put the flags up everywhere,” he added.

The Greenville City Council said the flag is nearly the size of a basketball court at 3,200 square feet. It flies on a pole that stands 130 feet tall, almost double the size of what is currently allowed.
