What used to be online threats, harassment, and social-media trolling has started to bleed (literally) into the real world. Conservatives are being swatted. Homes are being shot up. Public figures are facing assassinations. Events are being shut down by threats of violence. And now, once again, a young conservative is dead. ...... but think about it: you have a visible right-wing leader on a campus where conservatives already say they’re afraid to speak freely, a violent act followed by silence and unanswered questions, and an administration with a record of caving to activist pressure. When you put it all together,...

Former FBI Director James Comey got another assist from a Clinton-appointed judge Friday as the Justice Department looks to hold him accountable for his role in Russiagate. Last month, U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, a Clinton appointee, ruled that Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was incorrectly appointed and therefore, the charges brought by her office against Comey were “defective.” “All actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment … constitute unlawful exercises of executive power and must be set aside,” the judge wrote. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced at the time that the Justice Department would be appealing the ruling....

The Charlotte City Council is being slammed for approving $3.4 million to hire a PR company to clean up the reputation of their public transportation after a string of recent stabbings. The city’s latest action comes after two widely-publicized stabbings, including one that ended fatally on Charlotte’s train system and sparked a national conversation on rising crime and lax prosecution in urban areas of the country. On Tuesday, Republican North Carolina Rep. Mark Harris called out the “pro-crime Democrats in Charlotte” for spending the cash on “misleading ads” rather than choosing to “invest in REAL safety to prevent another tragedy...

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino on Thursday brushed off questions about his past claims of a cover up in the case of who planted pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican national committee offices a day before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. When Fox News’s Sean Hannity reminded his former colleague of his past social media comments, Bongino said the FBI was “pretty comfortable we have our guy.” “Listen I was paid in the past, Sean, for my opinions,” the former political commentator continued. “That’s clear. And one day I will be back in that space, but that’s not...

The Trump administration blamed Biden for failing to catch the Jan 6 pipe bomb suspect - with Dan Bongino even alluding to a 'massive cover up.' 'There is a massive cover-up, because the person who planted those pipe bombs—they don’t want you to know who it was, because it’s either a connected anti-Trump insider, or this was an inside job,' Bongino said in 2024. 'Those bombs were planted there. This was a setup. I have zero doubt.'

The Biden administration withheld data from the public on the risks of myocarditis from the Covid vaccine, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary claimed Thursday — a bold accusation that clashes with years of public statements from federal health officials. “We have done more to study myocarditis and to go back and look at deaths of people, of children from the Covid vaccine,” Makary told NBC News in an interview. “Internal data submitted on myocarditis, we found that the Biden administration was sitting on data on myocarditis in young people, and it was not made public.” Makary’s claim comes...

BUTLER COUNTY, IOWA – U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is making public internal emails and a Federal Bureau of Investigation Electronic Communication (FBI EC) exposing Department of Justice (DOJ) officials’ refusal to open a criminal investigation into potential campaign finance violations committed by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), despite FBI agents’ demonstration of a fact-pattern showing Clinton and the DNC intentionally concealed payments to inappropriately target then-candidate Donald Trump.The Federal Election Commission in 2022 fined Clinton and the DNC for disguising campaign expenditures to pay Fusion GPS, a political opposition research firm, to craft...

I'm not saying it, Thomas Massie is saying it. BREAKING:🇺🇲🇮🇱 "Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel's intelligence agencies." - Republican Rep. Thomas Massie. pic.twitter.com/II9fdhGZ1h— Megatron (@Megatron_ron) November 19, 2025Yesterday, Speaker Johnson told us he was worried that if we declassified items in the files without consulting the intelligence agencies, it would be "incredibly dangerous" because, uh, critical sources must be protected. Leftwing commentators were quick to come to their own wild conclusions: BREAKING: 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 Speaker Mike Johnson claims the Epstein files CANT be released unredacted because they contain intelligence-agency material that falls under “national...

Official House results show the bill passed with overwhelming support, as 427 members voted in favour and only one Republican, Clay Higgins of Louisiana, opposed.

New York Post columnist Miranda Devine is calling on the FBI and Secret Service to finally produce the full truth about the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt against President Donald Trump — an attack she says federal authorities have mishandled from the beginning. In a column Monday, Devine wrote that Americans are still waiting for a coherent explanation of how 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to climb onto a rooftop overlooking Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally and fire eight rounds from an AR-15-style rifle, grazing Trump's ear and killing firefighter Corey Comperatore. "We are all owed a better explanation,"...

We are all owed a better explanation from the FBI and Secret Service about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump 16 months ago at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa. The president himself remains unsatisfied with the answers he’s been given about the circumstances leading to 20-year-old Thomas Crooks climbing on a rooftop with an AR-15 style rifle and firing eight times at Trump, narrowly missing his head but hitting his ear. [snip] Thanks to an enterprising source who uncovered Crooks’ hidden digital footprint, we can see that Abbate misled Congress by omission, because he left out an entire section...

Trump just yanked his support from Marjorie Taylor Greene and he’s gearing up to back a primary challenge in Georgia.

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki immediately walked back her suggestion that President Donald Trump is among the “predators” named in the documents about sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a Thursday segment. House Democrats released emails on Wednesday in which Epstein claimed that Trump knew about his conduct and even sat in a room with his victim. After making the suggestion that Trump is a predator, Psaki immediately noted on “The Briefing with Jen Psaki” that there is no evidence that Trump committed any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. “You’re talking about the other predators out...

Jeffrey Epstein seemingly offered to provide Russia with information about President Donald Trump during the celebrity businessman's first term in office, according to a new batch of emails released by House Republicans. In old messages released on Wednesday, Nov. 12, Epstein — who died in prison in 2019 — implied that he had discussed Trump with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, before Churkin's 2017 death. “Churkin was great,” Epstein wrote, per Politico. “He understood trump after our conversations. it is not complex. he must be seen to get something its that simple.” The outlet also reported that...

President Trump and his administration on Wednesday ramped up a pressure campaign on congressional Republicans who are pushing for a full release of the Justice Department’s files about the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, rushing to head off a House vote on the matter. Top officials met in the White House Situation Room on Wednesday with Representative Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican who is backing an effort to force a House vote on whether to demand the release of the files. She was summoned to sit down with top Justice Department and F.B.I. officials, according to two people familiar with...

“We Know Nothing” – Eric Trump Slams PA State and FBI Silence on Butler Assassination Attempt Republished with permission from AbleChild. Eric Trump is demanding that investigators solve the mystery behind the alleged shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who reportedly tried to kill his father at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania more than a year ago. For those who for months have been asking for the FBI to release its investigation of the assassination attempt, Eric’s demands seem fair. The President’s son reports during an interview on Pod Force One with Miranda Devine that “I’m very far away from being...

LONDON — A knife attack on a train that left 11 people injured on Saturday night was not a terrorist incident, said police, as two British nationals were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Of the nine people thought to have life-threatening injuries, four have been discharged, and two "remain in a life-threatening condition," Superintendent John Loveless said in an update on Sunday morning. “At this stage there is nothing to suggest that this is a terrorist incident," he added, noting that both suspects, men aged 32 and 35, were born in the United Kingdom and remain in separate police...

A former U.K. Metropolitan Police Detective Constable is speaking out, warning that he was told to drop his investigation into Islamic "grooming gangs" in London or he'd lose everything, including his children. The U.K. has tried very hard to cover up the scandal, with two survivors quitting an inquiry panel over claims Labour Party officials want the investigation to fail. Reports of sexual assaults, grooming, and forced prostitution go back years, with authorities turning a blind eye to the issue — fearing accusations of racism — INSANE 🚨 Jon Wedger the former Metropolitan Police Detective Constable in London, UK exposes...

The ghost writer who helped Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, pen her posthumous memoir claimed she knows everyone named in the so-called Epstein files. “Yes, I know who the names are,” Amy Wallace told News Nation’s “Banfield” on Tuesday of those tied to the notorious, now-deceased sex trafficker. “Virginia [knew] who the names are, but so does the FBI and so does the Department of Justice,” the “Nobody’s Girl” co-author insisted. “That’s why there’s such a clamoring right now for the Epstein files to be released.” Wallace, who spent four years writing the book, said she still...
