A heartwarming story has emerged from New Mexico, where a courageous rescue  dog named Pancho is being hailed as a hero for protecting his family from a knife-wielding intruder. Pancho’s bravery and the dedication of his family and the rescue organization that brought them together showcase the incredible bond between humans and animals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr6zyBSRE9c Facing danger with loyalty Pancho, adopted eight years ago from Española Humane in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, didn’t hesitate to act when danger entered his home. Earlier this month, a terrifying ordeal unfolded as a violent intruder armed with a knife broke into the residence. Without a moment’s thought, Pancho sprang into action, placing himself between the attacker and his family. This selfless act came at a tremendous cost – the intruder stabbed Pancho in the neck. Despite the severity of the wound, which narrowly missed vital organs, Pancho’s loyalty never wavered. Even while enduring further kicks that caused a spinal injury, he bravely held his ground, giving his family precious time to call for help. Thanks to Pancho’s courage, neighbors were able to intervene and restrain the assailant until authorities arrived. Facing danger with loyalty A race against time and a second chance The aftermath of… CONTINUE READING…

While recording the most recent edition of America’s Got Talent on Wednesday, September 13, Sofia Vergara participated in a lie-detector exam, and the judges made the most of the chance. She wore an arm cuff to track her vital signs and sat in an unusual chair that was shaped like a stack of tater tots. Terry Crews revealed the “tot seat”—which is a heated seat constructed of tater tots—and Simon Cowell offered up Vergara when Crews asked if any of the judges would like to participate. The judges asked her a number of questions, including one by Howie Mandel that didn’t turn out as expected. He asked her if there’s anyone in the audience that she’s interested in – referring to the fact that she’s now single for the first time in nearly 10 years. Unfortunately for Mandel – and the audience – she refused to answer the question and, instead, took the arm cuff off and walked back to her seat at the judge’s table. Howie Mandel is receiving a lot of backlash online as a result of his question, especially since it comes just a few weeks after he made a similar joke about her being single. It… CONTINUE READING…

This past week, left-leaning Fox News host Jessica Tarlov issued a live clarification to comments she had made on Wednesday regarding Tony Bobulinksi, a key witness in the GOP-led Biden impeachment investigation. Tarlov made on-air statements suggesting that Bobulinski’s legal fees were being paid for by a Trump super PAC.  Following these comments, attorneys on behalf of Bobulinksi sent a letter on Thursday to the Fox Corporation demanding a retraction and apology. “It was a mistake to believe Ms. Tarlov’s defamatory comments are without consequence. We will be watching today’s show,” stated Jesse Binall of the Binall Law Group, criticizing the Fox News host for her statements about Bobulinski. “I would like to clarify a comment I made yesterday during our discussion of Tony Bobulinki’s appearance at the congressional hearings. During an exchange with my colleagues about the hearing, I said that Mr. Bobulinski’s lawyer’s fees have been paid by Trump’s super PAC as recently as January,” she said in her on-air correction. What was actually said during the hearing was that the law firm representing Mr. Bobulinski was paid by a Trump PAC. I’ve seen no indication those payments were made in connection with Mr. Bobulinski’s legal fees and… CONTINUE READING…

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) went on a fiery tirade during an intense exchange in an impeachment hearing against President Joe Biden that took place in March of 2024, when former Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski was testifying.  Republican lawmakers have been investigating Hunter Biden’s business dealings and whether Joe Biden was involved. Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, testified before the House Oversight Committee this week, offering substantial evidence in the GOP-led investigation.  Chairman James Comer (R-KY) had also extended invitations to Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, another former business partner of the president’s son.  However, those two chose not to attend the hearing. During his testimony, Bobulinksi claimed he had previously witnessed potentially criminal actions committed by President Biden.  However, Ocasio-Cortez pressed Bobulinski on his statements, questioning him, “I heard your opening statement is submitted to the record part of our proceedings. I have a quick question. Simple. Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?” AOC repeatedly interrupted Bobulinksi as he attempted to answer the congresswoman’s question.  As she asked him to name specific crimes that the president committed, Bobulinksi answered, “corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy, DARA.”… CONTINUE READING…

One the most beautiful and largest castles in Slovakia, in the northern Orava region, Orava Castle is situated on a high rock above Orava river. In the forgotten, rough lands of Orava, on the way to Poland, along the Orava river, you will find a rocky formation, a steep rocky cliff vertically erected to the skies. Oravsky Podzamok village (translated lightly as “village under the castle”) is the starting point to the mighty Orava Castle. As it usually goes with Slovak castles, it was built in the place of former fortified fortress. That was right after the Tartar raids, in the mid 13th century. Orava Castle was owned by many aristocrats, county heads and noblemen, protecting important road to Poland and serving as an administrative and military centre for the region. After Francis Thurzo got the castle in pledge in 1556, he reconstructed it extensively, adding supporting walls to statically disturbed parts, annexing a palace and a new chapel. His son continued with works by building a big bastion with a tunnel, gatehouse and gate tower, according to the principals of then modern fortification theories. After his death, to this day, his wife Elizabeth Czobor supervises the castle. At night… CONTINUE READING…

Niederfalkenstein Castle is a medieval castle near Obervellach in Carinthia, Austria. It is part of the larger fortified complex of Falkenstein; while the main fortress of Oberfalkenstein today is in ruins, the lower barbican of Niederfalkenstein is largely preserved. Niederfalkenstein History The fortification was erected on a rocky promontory on the slopes of the Reisseck group in the Hohe Tauern mountain range, overlooking the Möll valley east of Obervellach. Niederfalkenstein is 843 meters above sea level. The ruins of Oberfalkenstein include a Bergfried keep with surrounding moats and the foundations of a Romanesque palace. A chapel dedicated to John the Baptist was first mentioned in 1246, greatly enlarged in the Baroque style in 1772 and is still in use. The fortification was first mentioned as Valchenstain Castle in an act from 1164. The name may have derived from Proto-Germanic walhaz in terms of a Roman settlement, referring to the descendants of the former Roman city of Teurnia, who had migrated to the remote valley during the Slavic settlement of the Eastern Alps about 600. The first documented ministerial Gumpoldus de Valchenstein was a legion of Count Engelbert II of Gorizia (Görz), scion of the Meinhardiner dynasty. The Counts of Gorizia also… CONTINUE READING…

The grade II listed ‘snake bridge’ was designed to allow horses to move over without having to untie it from the boat. This smart piece of architecture can be found in Macclesfield. The Macclesfield canal opened in 1831 and it features several snake bridges, or roving bridges, where the towpath goes from one side to the other in a loop. A roving bridge, or snake bridge, is a bridge over a canal constructed to allow a horse towing a boat to cross the canal when the towpath changes sides. This often involved unhitching the tow line, but on some canals they were constructed so that there was no need to do this by placing the two ramps on the same side of the bridge, which turned the horse through 360 degrees. On the Macclesfield Canal, this was achieved by building spiral ramps, and on the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal, it was achieved by constructing roving bridges of iron in two cantilevered halves, leaving a slot in the middle for the tow rope. This was also called a split bridge. For cost reasons, many ordinary Stratford bridges were also built in this way as they had no towpath. The ramps of the bridge… CONTINUE READING…

Recently, the government of Slovakia announced that it would be boycotting the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics after the opening ceremony, which they described as an “insult” to Christianity.  Deputy Prime Minister Tomas Taraba of the leftist-populist government in Slovakia further blasted the display of “degenerate decadence” at the controversial opening ceremony. Subsequently, Taraba stated that he would cancel his trip to France, where he would attend the closing ceremony on behalf of his nation.  Many believe one of the performances, in particular, was an overt mockery of “The Last Supper,” a critical moment in Christianity in which Jesus shared his final meal with the apostles.  The Deputy Prime Minister has been covering specific duties in the wake of the failed assassination attempt against Prime Minister Robert Fico in May. According to a translation of the announcement Taraba made on Facebook, “The organizers of the Olympics in Paris, who prepared the abomination for the world the presentation of the piny LGBT ideology and an insult to the symbols of Christianity, sa today “they apologized to the Christians on to the whole world” for insults that they caused.” The statement added that Taraba previously planned to attend the closing ceremony,… CONTINUE READING…

Speaking in an interview on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” with host Jesse Watters, famed investor and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary, also jokingly called “Mr. Wonderful,” sounded off on Vice President and likely 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, saying that the good press she has recently received will soon come to an end as people realize how awful it is. As background, VP Harris has had something of a honeymoon period with the media following President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out and name her as his chosen successor, but that is starting to come to an end as stories service about her horrible staff retention history and her limited accomplishments as a senator and vice president. O’Leary noted that Kamala’s brutally bad past will likely cause trouble for her in this election cycle, as she has a limited achievement history and has many bad policy decisions in her past. He said, “In the next two weeks, the happy talk is going to have to stop because someone’s going to sit her down and say, ‘let’s talk inflation, let’s talk border, let’s talk policy on energy. Let’s talk policy on foreign affairs.’” He continued, saying that Trump at least… CONTINUE READING…
