When Representative Travis Corcoran jokes that America needs โa final solution to the problem of theater kids in politics,โ the regime media of New Hampshire erupts into moral panic. As censure proceedings descend into ritual humiliation, an unsettling stranger named Mr. Scratch arrives to preside over the spectacle. Beneath the golden dome of the State House, outrage becomes hysteria, politics becomes theater, and something infernal answers the call. In the final supernatural reckoning between plain speech and political theater, can the old granite spirit of New Hampshire survive in a chamber claimed by darker powers?
A gothic political fantasia in the spirit of The Devil and Daniel Webster, The Devil and Representative Corcoran blends satire, supernatural horror, and American folklore into a tale of private conscience, public shame, and the eternal temptation to trade stubborn honesty for fashionable lies.

Farmers Abandon Wheat Crop, Igniting Global Food Shortage Fears [VIDEO]
Wheat futures explode after the USDA dropped a bombshell: 10.5+ million acres of U.S. wheat abandoned, marking the smallest American wheat crop since 1972. Hard Red Winter (the main bread wheat) is getting crushed, with production down sharply and futures limit-up.
Globally it's no better: major exporters like Australia (-17%), Argentina (-25%), Canada (-12%), and others are all down at once. The result? A tightening world supply that mainstream analysts say is now raising serious food shortage fears.
Why are farmers walking away from fields? Drought + skyrocketing diesel prices are making harvest uneconomical on millions of acres.
What does this means for you? Sharply higher prices for bread, pasta, flour, cereals, and baked goods are coming. It also pushes up livestock feed costs, which will drive higher meat, dairy, and egg prices in the months ahead.
Watch to learn more.

Iraq filed a formal UN complaint attributing the attack to the US. Washington denied involvement.

A Greek bronze shield blazon, c. 400โ300 BC.
This piece would originally have been mounted to a hopliteโs circular shield (aspis) as part of a warriorโs panoply. Shield blazons often featured animals or mythological figures and served as identifying emblems in battle. Similar shield devices appear frequently in Greek vase painting and relief sculpture, though very few bronze examples have survived.
The lion is shown biting and gripping a spearhead. According to Christieโs, the image symbolized the futility of attacking the shieldโs owner, with the spear represented as powerless against him. The motif itself is relatively rare in Greek art, though parallels appear in Greek coinage and metalwork from Thessaly and southern Italy.

๐ข US lawmakers are terrified of defying the Zionist lobby - Massie
Though many politicians privately agree with his political stance, they fear that aligning with him would lead to their political โdeathโ, says Rep. Thomas Massie.
Massie, facing a tight congressional primary race in Kentucky against a fellow Republican endorsed by Trump, argues that if he wins, โWe can demonstrate that you can take this hill without dying.โ
If at least a dozen lawmakers start siding with him on key votes, he argues, AIPAC wouldnโt be able to financially target all of them at once.

โNo, AIPAC can't spend $30 million on a dozen people. That's $360 million. That's enough to build a ballroom, okay?โ

Tom Massie of Kentucky, the worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman in the history of our Country, is an even bigger insult to our Nation than Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who suffered an unprecedented loss tonight by not even being allowed to run in the Republican Primary. This is the first time such a thing has ever happened to a sitting U.S. Senator! Thatโs what you get by voting to Impeach an innocent man, especially one who made it possible for Cassidyโs Senate win. Very disloyal, but Tom Massie, a major Sleazebag, is even worse! Kentucky, get this LOSER out of politics in Tuesdayโs Election. He is nicknamed Rand Paul Jr., another real โbeauty,โ because of his absolutely terrible voting habits. Vote for Ed Gallrein, a successful Kentucky farmer, and American War Hero, who only ran because he thought that Massie was so disloyal and disrespectful to your President, ME! This is a great man, Central Casting, in fact, who truly deserves to represent the fantastic people of Kentucky, a Commonwealth that I am proud to have won all three times, in record fashion! ED WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
