  • Musk Warns “Civil War Is Inevitable” In UK as Anti-Immigration Protests Spread | The Liberty Beacon


    Musk Warns “Civil War Is Inevitable” In UK as Anti-Immigration Protests Spread

    (Tyler Durden Reports) – European countries on the front lines, such as Greece and Italy, have been overwhelmed with migrants over the years due to failed open-border policies facilitated by radical leftist politicians. These unaccountable leaders (elected & unelected) have created the perfect storm of migrant crime and chaos across the continent.

    For readers, who are not caught up with the news cycle, anti-immigration demonstrations have erupted across the UK following the horrific stabbing of three children in Southport by the 17-year-old son of Rwandan immigrants. 

    Here’s the latest reporting:

    Now weekend anti-immigration demonstrations were seen in Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Hull, Belfast, Stoke, and other cities. Some turned violent while others did not.

    Citizens are enraged with progressive officials who have promoted open borders, leading to an influx of migrants. This has resulted in increased crime and chaos and has adversely affected working-class families by pushing down wages for low-skilled jobs.

    The Guardian quoted protesters on Saturday as chanting, “Get them out” and “Yorkshire.”

    In the southwest city of Bristol, folks shouted, “We want our country back,” while others yelled, “England ’til I die.” There were small pockets of counter-protesters who called called anti-immigration protesters ‘racist’.

    It seems that the working-class people in the West are beginning to speak up. After all, Christianity played a major role in the development of Western civilization.

    On Sunday, Policing and Crime Minister Diana Johnson told Sky News that unrest is viewed as “criminal disorder” and that people participating were “thugs.” She said some protesters may face “imprisonment.”

    Folks are not happy about the two-tier judicial system. Where have we seen this before?

    Prime Minister Keir Starmer told the nation that the government will do “whatever it takes” to quell the violence.

    On Saturday evening, Musk weighed in on the unrest, warning: “Civil war is inevitable.”

    Musk’s assumption might not be too far off from what could be coming to Europe. In fact, far-left EU elites who have pushed years of open borders, flooding countries across the bloc with hundreds of thousands of migrants, if not millions, have intentionally or unintentionally stoked incredibly high divisions among the population over migration. Meanwhile, failed open-border policies have supercharged nationalist movements.

    One interesting note: leftist corporate media are pushing that X has been the epicenter of fueling misinformation and disinformation, as it’s likely EU leftist officials are going to attempt to clamp down some more (remember the Olympics censorship) on Musk’s free speech efforts.

    Here comes the censorship.

    Europe’s slow-motion crisis has undoubtedly gained momentum as social unrest ignites. This couldn’t have come at the worst possible timing as Russia and Ukraine are locked in a multi-year war in Eastern Europe with elevated risks of broadening conflict. Furthermore, risks of broadening conflict are also seen in the Middle East between Iran and Israel. 

    The West is in chaos, thanks to far-left lawmakers from the US to Europe who have promoted failed open-border policies – destroyed meritocracy – and still can’t describe what a woman is.

  • Florida woman accused of stabbing ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend

    SPRING HILL, Fla. (TCN) — A 22-year-old woman remains hospitalized after her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend allegedly stabbed her.

    On the evening of July 31, the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home to a report of a possible stabbing. Deputies located Sydney McKelvy with a stab wound to the chest.

    Upon further investigation, officials learned McKelvy’s boyfriend, Jeffrey Hildebrandt Jr., lives at the residence where the stabbing allegedly occurred. Hildebrandt reportedly told officials that he and his girlfriend were “hanging out at the house” when 19-year-old Emily Morales, his ex-girlfriend, came over unannounced to “create conflict.”

    According to the sheriff’s office, Hildebrandt stepped away to tell his mother about his ex-girlfriend’s arrival. McKelvy reportedly answered the door, inviting Morales into the home.

    Deputies allege Morales “immediately became confrontational with McKelvy,” pulled out a pocket knife, and stabbed her in the chest.

    Hildebrandt reportedly rushed to the kitchen and found his girlfriend with the stab injury. According to the sheriff’s office, Morales also allegedly tried to stab Hildebrandt and then fled the scene.

    Officials transported McKelvy to a local trauma center, and she required surgery.

    Deputies found Morales at her residence and took her into custody. During an interview, she reportedly confessed to going over to her ex-boyfriend’s house to confront him, but she didn’t know McKelvy was also there. Morales told the sheriff’s office McKelvy took an “aggressive stance toward her,” so she pulled out the pocket knife and allegedly stabbed her and then threw away the knife on her way home.

    Authorities arrested Morales on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was booked into the Hernando County Jail, and her bond was set at $5,000.

    The sheriff’s office did not provide further details on the victim’s condition.

  • Taliban gets $239 million in aid after failure of State Dept. vetting

    From Just the News:
    The Islamic extremist Taliban has received at least $239 million in U.S. aid aimed at counterterrorism after State Department vetting procedures fell apart, according to a government watchdog.
    The government watchdog, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), issued a July 2024 report identifying at least 29 grants where the Taliban may have erroneously received counterterrorism funds.
    SIGAR “investigators found that the State Department failed to comply with its own counterterrorism partner vetting requirements in Afghanistan,” Judicial Watch reported.
    The funds came from State Department divisions called “Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor” and “International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs.”

  • Fact Check: Don’t get it twisted: This tornado video doesn’t show an Atlanta storm

    Three clips of tornadoes whipping through houses and ripping off roofs appear in a video recently shared on Facebook. 

    “Tornado in ATLANTA,” text over the video says. 

    The caption of the July 21 Facebook post sharing the video: “Strong tornado in Atlanta USA.” 

    This post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.)

    A EF2 tornado touched down in Atlanta in April — at night, in the dark — and none of the clips in the Facebook post, all recorded in daylight, show the Georgia twister. 

    The first clip was shot in May 2022 in Andover, Kansas. 

    The second clip also appears to show the Kansas tornado. Another video, which an ABC News affiliate in Tulsa, Oklahoma, published on YouTube, shows a similar scene. 

    The third clip was shot in June 2023 in Indiana. USA Today published the footage after several severe tornadoes developed across the central part of the state. 

    Some of the footage has been altered — quickened or flipped so that images that were on the right are now on the left. 

    We rate claims these clips show a tornado in Atlanta False.

The patented placket stay, a revolutionary feature designed by Rob Kessler, ensures that the collar stays crisp and upright throughout the day.

  • Hit the Purple Light | The Liberty Beacon


    Commentary/Satire by Bill the Butcher

    I know there are a lot of X’s, Z’s, and even Millennials out there puzzling over the title of this article but let me explain. To combat my depression after my first divorce my mother put me to work as a doorman in a whorehouse. The cover for the place was that it was a dance club where semi-nude girls would dance on a stage and display their wares to young soldiers from Fort Hood looking for “ diversion.” To camouflage stretch marks the stage would be bathed in purple light to give the illusion of something that is not. A purple light can make a 40 look like a 20. And verily, verily I say unto you, the purple lights are on for this election. Now . . . on with the article.

    The Democrats have mounted a campaign against Donald Trump since he took the oath of office. From that crazy lady on her knees screaming, “No!” to the rifle shot in Pennsylvania, it’s been uphill there and uphill back. Biden stresses over and over again that Trump is bad for Democracy, as he mumbles through another press conference and Obama leads him off the stage.

    Yes. It was a miracle that bullet didn’t hit him right between the eyes, and if it wasn’t it’ll do until one comes along. But we have degenerated into “warring” factions down to insane theories about President Biden having something to do with the assassination attempt. There just has to be a Grassy Knoll here somewhere! People! Have you lost your minds? No matter who wins the election it will not affect you in any noticeable way except for your temper fit should your guy lose. And that’s the God’s honest truth.

    When I was six years old President Eisenhower made absolutely no difference to me or anybody I knew. And to this day I can’t tell you one thing he ever did that affected my life then or now. Kennedy made a blip when he got shot and Nixon made one when he did not. I thought having a Peanut Farmer in the White House was funny, but Obama was a real knee slapper. Now be honest. What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Clinton. And it ain’t that Middle East Peace deal but it did have something to do with a pizza and a dress. Hayel to da CHIEF!

    Candidates create issues to solve. The sky is falling, the sky is falling, look! There’s a piece of it right there! KerCHUNK! Well it looked like sky. But consider this. Now I want you to put your thinking caps on. You know how on a fairly regular basis the government runs out of money. I’ve never understood how that could happen since the government has a monopoly on printing money and it’s not real money anyway. It’s backed by, well, audacity. But they borrow against future governing I guess and in about six months or so they need to raise a little hell and then raise the debt ceiling, whatever that is. After much hemming and hawing they eventually raise it and we’re good until next time. I think the next time TXU sends me a disconnection notice I’m gonna just raise my debt ceiling. Now while “Shutting the government down” only affects things like the toilets in Yellowstone and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier please note that it doesn’t affect congressional salaries. I think they may have shut it down once and sans toilets it really had Yellow Stones until they agreed on a budget. All the toilets flushed on Capitol Hill! Congress churned on. Nothing missing. Not one prime rib or free stamp. They get payday right on time while they’re telling us that it’s the end of the world.

    So there we are, numb from all this, fighting traffic to get to work, our grandson wants to wear a dress, and Lo and behold, they’s Meskins on the border! Alert the media. There’s been Mexicans on the border since Santa Anna took the Alamo! And both candidates are inventing more issues than a soon to be ex-wife. Biden quit! Harris is gonna run. Trump got his ear blown off. The polls are shifting. Wait! No their not. No, there’s a 1% spread. Harris is gonna bring in twice the Mexicans and Trump’s gonna shoot them.

    Know what I began to see? Admit that if the government did close down would we even miss it? What would happen if we just called off the election and let Elon Musk run the country? What is peace of mind worth. Watch the news. There simply can’t be that much going on. I mean, these people can’t balance a checkbook.

    Look, life is stressful. Just plain old vanilla life gives out strokes and heart attacks by the six-pack. And we don’t need more stress over stories candidates make up to get votes.

    You work all day. You come home. You’re tired. And you check the news. You find out the new buzz word is “weird.” I’ll go with that. It’s all weird. And things are wearing just a little bit thin. I prefer some candidates over others. I wouldn’t vote for a woman from California if she spent the weekend with me and paid the hotel bill. I was suspicious of Trump because he’s a Yankee, but I would vote for him. Do I buy the country is falling to the Mexicans? Hell no! Texas has had Mexicans on the border all my life. Cut my grass. Trump runs a pretty good hotel and should Harris lose she could always change her name to “Candy” and learn to work a pole. And in ten years we’d all be waiting for the next innovation from Taco Bell. Hit the purple light!

  • 'David Makes Man' actor Akili McDowell arrested for allegedly fatally shooting man in parking lot

    HOUSTON (TCN) — An actor known for his role on the Oprah Winfrey Network show “David Makes Man” was arrested over the weekend for allegedly shooting and killing a 20-year-old man last month.

    According to the Harris County Sherif Ed Gonzalez, on July 20, deputies were called to an apartment complex parking lot in East Harris County, where they found a 20-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced deceased at the scene. Gonzalez said the suspect or suspects fled the scene following the incident.

    In an update, Gonzalez announced homicide detectives arrested 21-year-old Akili McDowell on a count of murder in connection with Cesar Peralta’s death. He was booked into the Harris County Jail, where he is being held on $400,000 bond. He was charged with theft in July 2023, which is listed on the charges on the Harris County Jail website.

  • Fact Check: Olympic shooting star’s origin story about messy divorce began as satire

    A Turkish air pistol shooter became a social media sensation at the Paris Olympics — not for winning a silver medal with his partner, but for his meme-worthy casual appearance and shooting stance while competing.

    Yusuf Dikec, wearing a T-shirt and forgoing some of the high-tech glasses or equipment other shooters donned, was seen in photographs and videos with one hand in his pocket as he took aim at his target. 

    His appearance fascinated social media users, who jokingly wrote that he was a hit man or John Wick, the action movie character played by Keanu Reeves. 

    Along with the jokes, one story about Dikec making the rounds on social media claims he had a dark backstory to his shooting prowess.

    An Aug. 1 Instagram post shared a photo of Dikec with a few paragraphs of text above it that said he “first picked up a gun during a particularly frustrating divorce mediation.” After winning his silver medal, the post claimed, Dikek “stood emotionless on the Olympic podium and declared, ‘Sharon, if you’re watching this, I want my dog back.’”

    We found similar posts on Facebook, Instagram and Threads.

    These posts were flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.)

    (Instagram screenshot)

    That would make a compelling story if it were true. But the tall tale came from a satirical account called The Sportsmemery, which shared the fake Dikec story in an Aug. 1 post that it described as satire, something the other posts sharing the story omitted.

    It seems Dikek may be more of a cat person, at least according to his Instagram account, where he shared two photos of himself with a feline friend in 2022. There was no photo of him with a dog there.

    One Facebook post shared side-by-side photos of Dikec shooting at the Olympics next to one of him at home with the cat. “If something ever happens to that cat, we’re about to get four movies out of this guy,” it said, a reference to  the action film series “John Wick.”

    The claim that Dikec took up shooting during a messy divorce and told his ex from the Olympic podium that he wants his dog back originated as satire. The social media posts that omit that distinction are False.
