[ad_1] Vice President J.D. Vance and outgoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem both said Renée Good, an activist shot three times in her car by a federal immigration officer, was engaged in “domestic terrorism.” Two weeks later, after officers shot Alex Pretti at least 10 times, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller called Pretti “a domestic terrorist [who] tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” And in October 2025, a Border Patrol officer shot Marimar Martinez five times in her car; unlike Good and Pretti, Martinez survived. DHS deemed her a “domestic terrorist” who had “rammed” the officers’ vehicle while it was “boxed in.”…

[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair In communist Prague, my father was repeatedly arrested, imprisoned, and tortured for his dissident activities. My mother suffered, and in her attempts to halt that downward spiral, she made small gestures to appease the authorities. Her concessions consisted of the fact that, like most people, during communist holidays—the anniversary of the Russian Revolution, Labor Day, and others—she would place small Czechoslovak and Soviet flags in the windows of our Prague apartment and let them fly together, even though doing so was not strictly mandatory, but was well-regarded by the regime. My parents are an…

[ad_1] New video on the Daily Grail’s Patreon for supporters, in which RPJ and I give our thoughts (ie. rant) about Bob Lazar! Be sure to join up as a supporter and help us put food in our mouth occasionally! Spooky feelings in old houses may be caused by inaudible infrasound from old pipes and ventilation systems, study suggests. Related: We wrote about research into this theory (‘The Haunt Project‘) way back in 2008! The CIA ran MK-ULTRA experiments on prisoners of war in US custody, declassified documents confirm. (Archived page link) The ‘missing scientist’ story is unbelievably dumb. (Archived…

[ad_1] The hits have just kept on coming! (And not in a good way.) For anyone who cares and/or is curious why CJ has been mostly incommunicado the past 2 months (other than angrily ranting against the insanity of current events on Twitter): In this special DHP episode he gives an update on the most recent trials & tribulations he & his family have been through, including (but not limited to) his wife being hospitalized twice, another major death in the family, & finally, CJ himself being hospitalized for almost a full week while being the sickest & in the…

[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair Fact…  like the Israeli law that criminalizes speech which “minimalizes” the events of October 7th  or challenges the government recitation of what occurred on that day, but do not incite violence, under Article 24 of the Israeli Anti-Terrorism Law, Palestinians can be imprisoned for 5 years for merely saying “from the river to the sea” under a theory that words, and words alone, are an incitement to violence, an exaltation of terror, or a threat to state security. Fact … according to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor and the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem, over…

[ad_1] A Miami–Dade County sheriff’s deputy threatened to arrest a local TV reporter for asking Mayor Daniella Levine Cava a question at a beach and bay cleanup event in a public park. Jeff Weinsier of WPLG Local 10 News wanted to ask the mayor about a series of electric buses that cost taxpayers more than $60 million were taken out of service because they kept breaking down. But as Weinsier approached the mayor, Deputy Lester Aguilar stepped in and pushed him, saying if he didn’t back off, “You will go to jail.” Weinsier said he approached the mayor at the…

[ad_1] During the COVID-19 crisis, people who were not vaccinated faced all kinds of social discrimination, and health authorities went so far as to take drastic measures against the unvaccinated due to their alleged irresponsibility. This included private healthcare, which is heavily regulated by the state and where COVID-19 paranoia was also deplorable, irrespective of the right that private owners have to take discriminatory measures. In any case, a lack of common sense was the order of the day, and many unvaccinated people were denied adequate healthcare due to their vaccination status—even though vaccinated people continued to fall ill or…

[ad_1] April 28, 2026 Laura Flanders James Brady in 1986. Comparisons have been drawn to the events of March 1981, when an assassination attempt was made on Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley Jr. as he entered the Washington Hilton. Out of the Hinckley shooting came the Brady Bill and Brady Handgun Act – the landmark federal gun-control measures that created the background-check system for handgun purchases. My question, which has only become more urgent, is – What will come out of this shooting, at the same hotel, this past weekend? James Brady was press secretary to President Ronald Reagan when…

[ad_1] How Defeat in the Iran War Will Accelerate American Global Decline By Alfred McCoy Writing more than 2,000 years ago, the Greek historian Plutarch gave us an eloquent description of what modern historians now call “micro-militarism.” When an imperial power like Athens then, or America now, is in decline, its leaders often react emotionally by mounting seemingly bold military strikes in hopes of regaining the imperial grandeur that’s slipping through their fingers. Instead of another of the great victories the empire won at its peak of power, however, such military misadventures only serve to accelerate the ongoing decline, erasing…

[ad_1] Bombs have been falling on Iran for fifty-nine days. As of now a ceasefire is holding, just barely, brokered under pressure from Pakistan. But before it came, a girls’ primary school in the southern city of Minab was hit on the first day of the war, at least 170 dead, most of them girls aged seven to twelve, killed by a U.S. Tomahawk missile that President Donald Trump initially denied firing. Thirty universities struck since February 28, including Iran’s equivalent of MIT. Over 2,000 Iranians killed by American-Israeli strikes. Thirteen U.S. service members confirmed dead. An American F-15E shot…
