    Wild woman Rep. Lauren Boebert squeezed in a quick groping session between vaping and loudly singing during her already-infamous “Beetlejuice” viewing — later blaming her inappropriate behavior on her ongoing divorce. Security footage from Denver’s Buell Theatre Sunday shows the 36-year-old Colorado Republican reaching down for her date’s crotch shortly after blowing a plume of vaporized smoke into the air, which she initially denied doing When her date — Democratic Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher, 46 — in turn appeared to fondle her breast, the congresswoman aggressively grabbed his hand to keep it there. The heavy petting was just one...

    Donald Trump's argument that the 2020 election was rigged has reinforced the views of Americans who are already disenchanted about politics, one factor in their inclination not to cast a vote next year − that is, a vote they would probably cast for him. An exclusive USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll of unlikely voters − those who are eligible to vote but say they probably won't − give Trump a lopsided edge over President Joe Biden among Americans who are deeply skeptical of politics and governmen

    Well, this is one way to ensure that Blue states and cities won’t have to provide the promised “sanctuary” to illegal immigrants: force them to remain in Texas. It’s both brilliant politically and proof positive that the flood of illegal immigration Biden has invited is largely intended to punish Red states and change their demographics.

    The special counsel appointed to oversee the federal investigation into the president's son, Hunter Biden, intends to seek a grand jury indictment of the president’s son before the end of September, his office said Wednesday in a new filing. “The Speedy Trial Act requires that the Government obtain the return of an indictment by a grand jury by Friday, September 29, 2023, at the earliest. The Government intends to seek the return of an indictment in this case before that date,” prosecutors wrote in the filing.
  • From Grievance to Greatness(a review of Vivek Ramaswamy’s Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence)

    Law & Liberty ^ | 8/21/2023 | James Bruce
    Vivek Ramaswamy’s Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence offers a plea for the reinvigoration of American life. Based on the title, one might think that this book is a dystopian screed. It is not. Ramaswamy simply dreams of better things for the nation he loves. “If Americans come to see themselves as fellow citizens rather than each other’s victims,” he suggests, “then our Union can and should stay together.” Ramaswamy does not imagine a Golden Age to which we should return. Instead, he loves America today: “Next to most of the...

    A woman who was waving a gun at people on a North Bellmore intersection was struck by an officer’s vehicle, according to Nassau Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder. The woman fired the weapon into the air Tuesday afternoon at the corner of Bellmore and Jerusalem avenues. An officer then struck the suspect with his vehicle and recovered the semi-automatic handgun. The woman, identified as a 33-year-old African American, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and is in custody.

    China and Russia conducted a joint naval operation near the coast of Alaska earlier this week in a “highly provocative” move amid the war in Ukraine that triggered a robust US military response. Eleven Russian and Chinese ships neared the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska earlier this week near the maritime boundary Russia shares with the US, but the fleets never entered US waters, according to The Wall Street Journal.

    On Wednesday, reports started flooding in that a cargo ship, the Freemantle Highway, was ablaze in the shipping channels 17 miles off an island on the coast of the Netherlands. There were reportedly 3000 cars aboard, 25 of those EVs, and they were being transported from Germany to Egypt. What a difference a couple days make for clarity. For one thing, it turns out the number of EVs onboard the Freemantle Highway? TWENTY TIMES MORE than initially reported. There were 498 EVs onboard as opposed to 25, for a total of 800 more cars overall in the cargo. HOLY SMOKES....

    Come on and take a free ride! Five Big Apple bus routes will be free starting in late September, in part to monitor ridership numbers on transit lines with high fare evasion. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s troubleshooting plan is part of a $50 million state pilot pushed hard by progressives in Albany. The funding also boosts the number of trains running on the No. 1, No. 6, C, N and R trains by 20 percent during the middays and on weekends. “The MTA is the lifeblood of New York City, and I’m proud of the tremendous progress we’ve made in...

  • IRS quietly changes rule on how your children's inheritance is taxed - here's what you need to know to avoid a shock bill

    The IRS has quietly changed the rules around taxes on inheritances, putting Americans in danger of being caught out if they try to transfer assets to their children. The agency has curbed the tax break on a particular kind of trust often used to minimize estate taxes. Prior to the new instruction, it was unclear what the tax policies were around assets passing to beneficiaries through an irrevocable trust. But the Revenue Ruling 2023-2 has confirmed that these trusts will now be subject to capital gains tax, which will have a substantial impact on estate planning for Americans

    There is a 4-year-old girl in rural Arkansas who is learning to ride a camouflage-patterned four-wheeler alongside her cousins. Some days, she wears a bow in her hair, and on other days, she threads her long blond ponytail through the back of a baseball cap. When she is old enough, she will learn to hunt, just like her mother did when she was young. The girl is aware that her father is Hunter Biden and that her paternal grandfather is the president of the United States. She speaks about both of them often, but she has not met them. Her...

    A former morgue manager at Harvard Medical School is facing federal charges for allegedly stealing, selling and shipping human body parts, according to an indictment. Cedric Lodge, 55, who worked at the medical school’s morgue in Boston, “stole dissected portions of donated cadavers, including…heads, brains, skin, bones, and other human remains, without the knowledge or permission of (the school) and removed those remains from the morgue in Massachusetts and transported them to his residence in New Hampshire,” the federal indictment, filed Tuesday in US District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, said. Lodge allegedly conspired with his wife, Denise,...

    U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has been assigned, at least for now, to oversee the case stemming from Donald Trump's indictment, a source confirmed to NPR on Friday. Trump appointed Cannon to the bench in 2020, and she is the same judge who ruled in favor of Trump's request to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago last summer, a move that temporarily stopped federal prosecutors from continuing their investigation into the documents.

    Hunter Biden is believed to be hiding out at the White House while his baby mama goes on the warpath. Lawyers for former stripper Lunden Roberts asked an Arkansas court Friday to jail the First Son for failing to stump up his financial records as required in her lawsuit over support payments for their 4-year-old unacknowledged daughter,......... Numerous sightings over the past six months lend credence to the idea, with Hunter and his family spotted trailing his father and the first lady onto Marine One for weekends away to Delaware or Camp David, or for longer vacations at the borrowed...

He was visiting the city from Miami, where he lived. Police are yet to confirm an identity for the suspect, but Mission Local reports he was a fellow tech executive who lives in the Bay Area. It is unclear if the man attended the same tech conference Lee was in town for.

    An analysis of voting records found that some of the most-Republicans states have some of the least-conservative lawmakers... It seemed like a slam dunk: Wyoming, the most conservative state in the country, was poised to introduce school choice, a policy overwhelmingly supported by conservatives that also enjoys support from most Democratic voters, especially minority ones. There was no doubt the bill had the votes to pass: Out of the state House’s 62 members, 57 are Republicans. A majority of the chamber was not only supporting the bill, but had co-sponsored it. Then, it died
