They’ve Just Crossed The Line…
I’m exposing leaked emails showing Ofcom pressuring Rumble to adopt the UK’s Online Safety Act—despite Rumble not being a UK company or targeting UK users.
This isn’t about “protecting children”; it’s about building an international censorship regime that overrides national laws and erodes free speech everywhere.
From government collusion with Big Tech to the weaponization of vague “harm” definitions, the UK establishment is laying the groundwork for total speech control—just as public trust in institutions collapses over scandals from COVID to Epstein.

Explosion at US Steel plant in Pennsylvania leaves 1 dead, dozens hurt or trapped under rubble
An explosion at a U.S. Steel plant near Pittsburgh left one dead and dozens injured or trapped under the rubble Monday, with emergency workers on site trying to rescue victims, officials said.
The explosion sent black smoke spiralling into the midday sky in the Monongahela Valley, a region of the state synonymous with steel for more than a century. An Allegheny County emergency services spokesperson, Kasey Reigner, said one person died in the explosion and two were currently believed to be unaccounted for. Multiple other people were treated for injuries, Reigner said.
Allegheny County Emergency Services said a fire at the plant started around 10:51 a.m. The explosion sent a shock through the community and led to officials asking residents to stay away from the scene so emergency workers could respond.
“It felt like thunder,” Zachary Buday, a construction worker near the scene, told WTAE-TV. “Shook the scaffold, shook my chest, and shook the building, and then when we saw the dark smoke coming up from the steel mill and put two and two together, and it’s like something bad happened.”
Dozens were injured and the county was sending 15 ambulances, on top of the ambulances supplied by local emergency response agencies, Reigner said.
The plant, a massive industrial facility along the Monongahela River south of Pittsburgh, is considered the largest coking operation in North America and is one of four major U.S. Steel plants in Pennsylvania that employ several thousand workers.
Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, who formerly served as the mayor of nearby Braddock, called the explosion “absolutely tragic” and vowed to support steelworkers in the aftermath.
“I grieve for these families,” Fetterman said. “I stand with the steelworkers.”
The Allegheny County Health Department said it is monitoring the explosion and advised residents within 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) of the plant to remain indoors, close all windows and doors, set air conditioning systems to recirculate, and avoid drawing in outside air, such as using exhaust fans. It said its monitors have not detected levels of soot or sulfur dioxide above federal standards….
Over 400 acts of hostility against US churches in 2024; gun-related incidents more than doubled: report
The incidents highlighted in the group’s “Hostility against Churches in the United States” report released Monday morning ranged from vandalism and arson to gun-related threats, bomb hoaxes and physical assaults.
The Washington-based conservative Christian advocacy organization documented 415 hostile acts across 43 states, affecting 383 churches, based on open-source documents, media reports and official records.
The total was slightly lower than the 485 incidents identified in 2023 but remained well above the yearly totals from 2018 through 2022. Since January 2018, the organization has tracked 1,384 incidents.
“Although the motivations for many of these incidents remain unknown, the rise in crimes against churches is taking place in a context in which fewer Americans are attending religious services or identifying with a specific faith,” the report notes.
According to Gallup data, less than a third of the U.S. population regularly attends church services, and researchers say “fewer Americans share a common understanding of what church buildings represent.”
“It is important to note that not all crimes against churches are motivated by hatred for Christianity. Some vandals appear to be motivated by financial gain through theft, while other culprits are teenagers engaging in a destructive pastime,” the report states.
“However, there are still incidents that seem to be targeting church intentionally and with malicious intent. Regardless of the perpetrator’s motives, such crimes can leave churches in physical, financial, and emotional disarray. Some churches struggle to cover the costs of repairs and fear future offenses.”
Gun-related incidents jumped from 12 in 2023 to 28 in 2024.
In one case near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a man entered Jesus’ Dwelling Place Church during a sermon and pointed a gun at the pastor before being tackled by a deacon.
In Georgia, an armed man disrupted services at three churches, filming his actions and encouraging others to join him….
Sean Duffy celebrates as USMMA Jesus painting brought up from basement: ‘All glory to God!’
A historic painting of Jesus saving sailors lost at sea was brought up last week from a chapel basement at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) in Kings Point, New York, according to a midshipman who spoke to The Christian Post.
“All glory to God! ‘Christ on the Water’ is out of the basement,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted to X Friday, along with a photo the midshipman shared with CP last Thursday. “Work will continue to get it fully restored and back into a place of prominence. To our amazing men and women at [USMMA] — religious expression is something we celebrate, not condemn.”
The relocation of the 1944 painting, titled “Christ on the Water,” comes four months after Duffy first visited the USMMA and drew raucous applause from midshipmen when he called for its restoration during a speech at the school’s annual Battle Standard Dinner on April 3.
The painting had hung in the USMMA’s Wiley Hall for 76 years until a 2023 letter from Military Religious Freedom Foundation founder Mikey Weinstein demanded its removal, claiming a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Under the leadership of the recently removed USMMA Superintendent Vice Adm. Joanna M. Nunan, the school’s administration first covered the painting with a curtain during official events before placing it in the flood-prone basement of the school’s chapel.
Weinstein, who has threatened “World War 8” if the painting is restored to its original location, condemned the recent news in a statement to CP that accused Duffy of being a Christian nationalist.
“The only type of disingenuous religious expression this MAGA sycophantic servile Secretary Duffy celebrates here is extremist, Christian nationalism, make no doubt about it,” he said.
“If it goes back to the same mandatory conference room MRFF fought to have it taken down from, the unconstitutional restoration of this blatantly sectarian expression of wretched, fundamentalist Christian supremacy and triumphalism is as repugnant to our U.S. Constitution’s separation of church and state as it would be for an ice cream aficionado if an ice cream shop offered a dog feces flavor to the public.”
Midshipmen who have spoken to CP in recent months explained that “Christ on the Water” had come to symbolize God caring for them amid the storms in their own lives….
LGBT group that fought to strip Christian colleges of Title IX exemptions closes down
An LGBT advocacy group that filed an unsuccessful legal challenge to end religious exemptions to federal Title IX discrimination law for Christian colleges that receive federal funding is closing down.
The board of directors for the Religious Exemption Accountability Project emailed an update to supporters on Sunday to announce that they are closing the organization’s operations, citing “a serious internal issue” that affected its “financial and operational stability.”
“While we cannot share all details publicly, we are deeply grateful to the founders, students, alumni, volunteers, donors, and community who believed in this work from day one,” stated REAP.
“Founded as a legal and storytelling campaign by queer students and alumni, REAP grew into a national nonprofit advocating for LGBTQIA+ students at religious colleges and universities.”
The group will “remain incorporated solely to conclude operations, fulfill legal obligations, and preserve our archive.”
In March 2021, REAP filed a lawsuit on behalf of over 30 LGBT-identified current and former students who believe they were discriminated against by over 20 religious colleges.
Filed against the U.S. Department of Education and other defendants, the complaint sought to eliminate the religious exemption given to Christian academic institutions under Title IX federal civil rights law, which bars discrimination based on sex for any educational institution that receives federal funding.
The lead plaintiff, Elizabeth Hunter, was a former student at Bob Jones University in South Carolina who alleged that school officials harassed her because of her sexual orientation.
Hunter had also taken issue with the student handbook detailing behavioral rules prohibiting same-sex romantic relationships, claiming that BJU created a “scary, harsh environment for me.”
Other plaintiffs attended institutions such as Baylor University in Texas, Union University in Tennessee, Fuller Theological Seminary in California and Azusa Pacific University in California, among others.
The Council for Christian Colleges and Universities filed a motion to intervene in the legal challenge, saying that the schools “are transparent about their policies and behavior guidelines, which students voluntarily agree to when they choose to attend the institution.”…
Newly released footage proves Ashli Babbitt was murdered in cold blood…
This newly released footage makes it undeniable: Ashli Babbitt was never a threat. She was literally standing there, surrounded by police officers who had a clear view of her and could have easily apprehended her if she’d posed any danger at all. But she didn’t. She was unarmed, not acting aggressively, and certainly not an immediate danger to anyone in that hallway.
And yet, Lt. Michael Byrd, a DEI misfit in every sense of the word, chose to fire into a crowd of people for no reason, killing an unarmed woman in cold blood. It was a reckless, cowardly act, and now the video leaves no room for excuses.
The problem now is that Biden has issued a blanket “auto pen” pardon for Michael Byrd.
Joe Biden, the outgoing US president, pardoned on Monday various officials and politicians, including Michael Byrd, the officer who killed protester Ashli Babbitt.
Other individuals who were pardoned include former representative Liz Cheney, former chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci, and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, among others.
The pardon also included members of the House January 6 Committee, which included police officers involved in the death of four people during the January 6 protests.
On January 6, 2021, Ashli Babbitt and three other protesters lost their lives during an attempted takeover of the US Capitol building.
Babbitt, who was a US Air Force veteran, died after being shot in the neck by Capitol police officer Michael Byrd. The footage of her death has been widely circulated among American protesters.
In his statement announcing the pardons, Biden said, “These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction”. He also stated that the nation “owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.”
That pardon would cover federal crimes related to the shooting, including any potential federal murder or civil rights charges. This means the DOJ and federal prosecutors couldn’t touch him, even when new evidence like this footage is revealed. However, that fake pardon wouldn’t stop civil lawsuits against Byrd or the Capitol Police or state-level criminal charges. The problem is, DC is not a state, and Byrd was acting as a “federal officer” inside a federal building, so it’s unlikely any non-federal jurisdiction could prosecute him.
This is exactly why the autopen pardons need to be challenged.
Clearly, it’s time for the Trump administration to dig much deeper into the Ashli Babbitt case and hold Michael Byrd accountable for what he did.
The American people deserve the truth about what happened that day. More than anyone, Ashli’s family deserves answers—and Ashli herself, a US veteran who served her country, deserves justice.
August 10, 2025 – Cover Story: Oregon-Hard Drugs
The U.S. is mired in a years-long nightmare of record drug use and overdose deaths — killing well over 100,000 people a year and costing taxpayers in terms of crime, law enforcement, homelessness, and prison.
