There's probably no better indicator of Gavin Newsom running for president than his sudden interest in promoting what he calls 'God's will.'Here's his repulsive media interview with Jake Tapper:Gavin Newsom takes a moment away from doing nothing about the 187,084 human beings suffering on the sidewalks of California and sleeping with his campaign manager’s wife to lecture President Trump on “God’s will” pic.twitter.com/aODh3XDn1m — Kevin Dalton (@TheKevinDalton) November 9, 2025A multiple-married serial adulterer, a pro-abortion extremist, and an associate of every kind of anti-Catholic activist, he's been a fallen-away Catholic for years.Now he's got religion.

Thanks to the good work of Blaze Media’s Steve Baker, we now have a plausible suspect in the January 6 pipe bomb plot, a former Capitol Police officer and reportedly a current CIA associate by the name of Shaun Rae Kerkhoff.“While nothing is 100% certain and everyone is innocent until proven guilty,” Baker posted on X, “gait recognition software identified a 94% match. Video proximity tracking and human analysis by federal intel sources take it to what I’m told is a 96-98% certainty.”For all the reporting on Baker’s discovery—and it’s important to note that Kerkhoff has not been charged nor...

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he is not “afraid” of Donald Trump unlike other western leaders and dismissed reports that their last meeting in Washington was volatile, adding that he had good relations with the US president. He also said in an exclusive interview with the Guardian that King Charles had helped build relations with Trump and described the British monarch as “very supportive” of Ukraine. The Ukrainian president denied claims Trump had tossed maps of the battlefield aside in a stormy exchange in October at the White House, where he had arrived hoping to secure supplies of US Tomahawk cruise...

A 79-year-old military veteran armed with a gun shot and killed a naked intruder early Friday morning during an attempted burglary in a Studio City neighborhood, police told NBC4 Investigates. The deadly altercation unfolded near Tujunga Avenue and Sarah Street, where police responded at about 7 a.m. to a report of a shooting. The Vietnam veteran heard screaming coming from outside a neighbor's house in the San Fernando Valley community and confronted the naked intruder, the LAPD said. Two women were inside the house, located southwest of the 170-101/134 freeway interchange, during the break-in, police said. During the ensuing struggle,...

Kirill Dmitriev — Vladmir Putin’s special envoy and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund — is suddenly ubiquitous. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has been largely quiet since his maximalist negotiating approach with Team Trump failed. Moscow, presumably largely guided by Lavrov, after winning a concession on Tomahawk missiles, opted to continue Putin’s hardline demands for ending the war in Ukraine ahead of the proposed Trump-Putin summit in Budapest. NATO would have to admit that it was the root cause of the war. Kyiv would have to cede all of the Donbas, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine would...

How did an Islamist socialist who posed with an unindicted terror bombing coconspirator become elected to head a city of terror survivors, the “most Jewish city in America” and how did he defeat an Italian-American political dynasty in what was once an Italian-American city? Because that New York City, the one people imagine from movies, no longer exists. In 1989, the last year of Mayor Ed Koch’s administration, Jews outnumbered Muslims roughly 4 to 1. By 2013, the last year of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration, the number of Muslims had doubled and the number of Jews continued to drop. ...

GÜIRIA, Venezuela (AP) — One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver. The men had little in common beyond their Venezuelan seaside hometowns and the fact all four were among the more than 60 people killed since early September when the U.S. military began attacking boats that the Trump administration alleges were smuggling drugs. President Donald Trump and top U.S. officials have alleged the craft were being operated by narco-terrorists and cartel members bound...

KENNER, La. — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 15 people in Kenner after an investigation at the Kenner boat launch. Kenner police said on Friday, around 9 p.m., federal agencies and state police investigated the boat launch and pier park area.

Maria Florinda Rios Perez was fatally shot after arriving at the wrong home for a house-cleaning appointment US officials are looking into whether to file charges against an Indiana homeowner who shot and killed a house cleaner who mistakenly showed up at the wrong address. Police say they found Maria Florinda Rios Perez dead in her husband's arms on the front porch of a home on Wednesday shortly before 0700 local time (12:00 GMT).

he release last week by the U.S. House and U.S. Senate Judiciary Committees of more than 2,000 pages of FBI documents reveals the enormity of the Biden administration’s determination to persecute and prosecute President Donald Trump, his political allies and supporters, the Republican Party, and literally hundreds of conservative political operatives, leaders, organizations, and even media entities. The Biden administration presided over an unimaginably aggressive political witch hunt that has cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars and burdened thousands of his supporters with untold millions of dollars in legal fees and other costs. The Biden administration’s actions were the...

BELEM, Brazil (AP) — Officials from countries most vulnerable to global warming offered searing dispatches of life on the front line of a warming planet Friday, as world leaders gathered on the edge of the Amazon rainforest for the annual United Nations climate talks. Haitian diplomat Smith Augustin, whose country was pummeled by Hurricane Melissa, appealed to wealthier countries that produce the greatest share of the world’s emissions to support Haiti in preparing for bigger storms. Developed countries pledged $300 billion to help poor nations cope with climate shocks at last year’s summit, but the money has yet to be...

Things are looking grim for former CIA Director John Brennan—and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.The ex-spook recently has been caught on camera fuming in response to questions about his involvement in Russiagate and his false claims about Hunter Biden’s laptop right before the 2020 presidential election. (Brennan was one of 51 former intelligence officials who signed an open letter insisting that news reports about the laptop’s explosive contents represented “classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”)But Brennan has more to worry about than facing confrontational questions in public forums. Like his Russiagate partner-in-crime James Comey, Brennan is likely...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband made at least $130 million in stock profits over the course of the California Democrat’s 37 years in Congress — a staggering return of 16,930%. Pelosi, 85, announced this week she will retire when her term ends in January 2027. The San Francisco pol became famous as the first woman to wield the speaker’s gavel, and infamous for her exceptional stock market returns. Before first taking Congressional office in 1988, the then-47-year-old freshman and her hubby, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, reported between $610,000 and $785,000 in stocks in their portfolio, according to...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Friday that Democrats would vote to end the government shutdown in exchange for a one-year extension of expiring ACA tax credits, multiple sources told Axios.

New York Attorney General Letitia James asked a federal judge Friday to dismiss a mortgage fraud case against her, calling it a vindictive and politically motivated prosecution brought at the behest of a president who regards her as an enemy. The motion, which had been expected, lays out a litany of comments from President Donald Trump designed to show the case was driven by personal animus that arose out of James' fraud lawsuit against Trump in her capacity as state attorney general.

A computer program that compared the bomb suspect’s gait to that of Shauni Kerkhoff produced a 94% match. A forensic analysis of a female former U.S. Capitol Police officer’s gait is a 94%-98% match to the unique stride of the long-sought Jan. 6 pipe-bomb suspect, according to a Blaze News investigation confirmed by several intelligence sources. A source close to a congressional investigation of Jan. 6 additionally told Blaze News evidence has emerged recently that pointed toward law enforcement possibly being involved in the planting of the pipe bombs. ‘They were f**king in on it.’ A software algorithm that analyzes...

Republican Chicagoans believe the conflicts between ICE and the protesters are a consequence of the city's sanctuary policies. "ICE is trying to get the worst of the worst out of the city to keep them safer. They're getting a lot of really bad people out of our community: sex offenders, drug cartel pushers. I've seen crime go down because of this." "If the city cooperated with the Feds. ICE wouldn't have to go out into the streets and make arrests." Democrats who opposed ICE's actions are no different from the Confederates who tried to separate from the federal government during...
