Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) was hit with a federal indictment Wednesday, accusing her of stealing $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds to support her 2021 congressional campaign. Cherfilus-McCormick, who has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee since December 2023, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami and faces up to 53 years in prison if convicted. Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain....

Nov. 18 should henceforth be recognized as far more dangerous than Jan. 6 ever was. Far more shocking. And an actual attempt at fomenting an insurrection, a coup. The “Nov. 18ers” should be forever shamed and discredited. Rather than hundreds of unruly Trump supporters strolling through the Capitol building, many of whom were subsequently incarcerated for doing so, we have just witnessed six sitting Democratic lawmakers openly urge members of the military and intelligence community to defy direct orders from the president of the United States. Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) posted a video to social media Tuesday morning in which...

The Democrats have a long history of being in bed with entertainment industry elites. I don't like to use the word "Hollywood" when writing about the lefties in showbiz, because there are a lot of conservatives working behind the cameras there. Most of the stars, as we are painfully aware, are enthusiastic socialists, mostly because they can afford to be. This relationship between the Dems and entertainers has given the latter the false impression that they know something about American politics. Some do, but even those who have some activist experience are still out of touch due to the aforementioned...

Bill Clinton’s Administration was infested with creeps who reportedly visited Epstein Island. President Trump is right. It is time to investigate the Clintons and the entire Democrat Party for their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton We know that the Clintons are closely tied to Jeffrey Epstein. We reported in 2019 that investigative reporter Conchita Sarnoff, the author of “Trafficking” on the Jeffrey Epstein case, joined Shannon Bream and said Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane 27 times and ALMOST EVERY TIME that Clinton was on the plane there were underage girls on the plane. Sarnoff also said Bill Clinton...

VIDEOSorry Seth Moulton! But just because President Donald Trump was merely MENTIONED in Epstein Files does NOT mean you are absolved of your more than obvious DEFAMATION of him when you publicly claimed on Morning Joe that he had improper relations with underage females. And you only made it WORSE when you repeated the DEFAMATION to Politico Hack Dasha Burns a week later while PRETENDING that just Trump's name appearing in the Epstein Files somehow absolves you. Hopefully a lawsuit award will not only include a hefty financial penalty against you but will also require an abject public APOLOGY.

Six Democrat lawmakers released a viral video urging troops to “refuse illegal orders.” The clip, led by Sen. Elissa Slotkin, warns that “threats to the Constitution are at home.” Conservatives erupted, accusing Democrats of pushing the military to defy President Trump. War Secretary Pete Hegseth hit back instantly, dismissing the video as “Stage 4 TDS.” Democrats insist it’s about law, not politics, as they push bills to curb Trump’s war powers. The showdown has triggered a fierce debate on loyalty, legality and military obedience

In the wake of the newly released Epstein files last week, President Donald Trump ordered an investigation into Democrats mentioned in the files -- including LinkedIn co-founder and major Democrat donor Reid Hoffman. On Tuesday, when pressed by ABC News' Mary Bruce, Trump lashed out about the files, saying Democrats should face scrutiny. Specifically, he called out Hoffman by name, saying, "Hoffman, in my opinion, should be under investigation." "He's a sleazebag," Trump added. Hoffman's ties to Epstein have previously been reported -- including a trip he took to Epstein's island. Hoffman has said he regretted the relationship, which he...

Belem, Brazil) — Crowned by global media outlets as the most important American at the United Nations “climate” summit in Belem, far-left California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) slammed U.S. President Donald Trump as an “invasive species” while signing deals with hostile foreign governments. The American president, Newsom suggested, must be stopped in order to save the world from alleged man-made climate change. Among other major announcements, Newsom inked a number of unconstitutional quasi-treaties with foreign governments — several of which are dominated by self-proclaimed communist and socialist leaders hostile to the United States. These “partnerships,” signed on the third day...

The growth of science denialism in the 21st century can be seen in the mainstream media’s gleeful reaction to the death at 97 of James D. Watson (1928–2025), codiscoverer of the structure of DNA. Supposedly, the age of cancel culture is over. But nobody in the prestige press is apologizing for getting Watson fired in 2007 from running the famous Cold Spring Harbor cancer lab he’d built back up over four decades because he was quoted as saying he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence...

🚨 BREAKING: Stephen Miller just accused Congressional Democrats of demanding INSURRECTION, after they asked members of the Armed Forces and Intelligence Community to rise up against Donald Trump This is unbelievable. "We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship." MILLLER: "Democrat lawmakers are now openly calling for insurrection." (Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) I'm Senator Alyssa Slotkin. Senator Mark Kelly.

An old report has brought back a question Donald Trump’s team hoped would disappear: did the FBI work through the night to remove his name from the Jeffrey Epstein files before saying there was nothing left to release? The timing is important as Trump has suddenly reversed his stance on making the documents public. Sources familiar with the process told Bloomberg, “We know from news reports that Trump’s name was in the Epstein files. But what hasn’t been reported is that an FBI FOIA team redacted Trump’s name and the names of other prominent public figures from the documents.” The...

A firm representing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) solicited Jeffrey Epstein for donations and to get him to attend a dinner with then-President Barack Obama, newly released files revealed. Thousands of pages of documents from Epstein’s estate published by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week included a 2013 email from a representative of Jeffries’ asking Epstein to meet with and give money to the Democrat leader. House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) exposed the email on the House floor during consideration of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed 427-1: https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/1990866192358055989 New York City-based firm Dynamic...

President Donald Trump's sudden pivot on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files was not an impulsive gamble but a tactical move to end a months-long drama that has consumed the White House and Congress. In a sudden shift, Trump said Sunday night that 'House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files.' But White House insiders have told the Daily Mail that the move by Trump wasn't a U-turn, but a calculated move to expose senior Democrats and his critics who had links to Epstein. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday: 'We have nothing to do with Epstein....

Will the death of Western Civilization occur while the United States is the global hegemon and unquestioned leader of the West? Due to Euro-socialism and decades of unfettered Islamic immigration, virtually all the nations of Western Europe are swept up in seemingly irreversible death spirals. When combined with the pathological anti-American and anti-West mindset The American Marxist fifth column has long been part of the global cabal of Marxists and their de facto Islamic allies, as both have a common objective: to destroy Western Civilization. As such, they have been determined to undermine the United States as the titular leader...

Alright guys, I need some help. What the heck is Schumer trying to say here when asked why he didn't care about Epstein while Biden was in office? REPORTER: "Why wouldn't [the Epstein files] have been released the last four years when President Biden was in office?"CHUCK SCHUMER (MORON): "That's the question every American is asking...

Just when you thought Trump would run and hide from all this Epstein stuff (see Epstein's 2018 email about Trump and Bubba), he's going all-in on releasing the files. But first, check out this 2015 video of Trump talking about Epstein and Prince Andrew: VIDEO AT LINK................... BREAKING - A 2015 clip of Presidential Candidate Donald Trump bringing up Epstein Island before anyone knew who Epstein was is resurfacing. “That island was a cesspool. Just ask Prince Andrew. He’ll tell you about it.” "A guilty man doesn't mention something he wants to hide." Now, in 2025, the president is calling...

President Donald Trump’s call for House Republicans to support releasing Jeffrey Epstein-related documents was a stunning capitulation after a months-long campaign to block the vote. It was also a specific defeat for Trump at the hands of a despised GOP opponent: Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky. “He got tired of me winning,” Massie said of Trump’s U-turn in an interview Monday morning. Insisting “I DON’T CARE!” in a late-night Truth Social post, Trump was bowing to the inevitable — a broad House Republican mutiny on a vote that was only scheduled because Massie forced it. It was the result of...

An Algerian national allegedly assaulted two women in the back of his New York taxi in separate incidents but is still snagging fares after getting a sweetheart deal from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the New York Post reported Saturday. Records show that Mohammed Bellebia, 34, was allowed to plead guilty to lesser charges in at least one of the incidents, according to the newspaper. According to the tabloid’s detailed reporting, the cabbie’s first alleged victim was 23-year-old Maile Bartow who entered Bellebia’s yellow cab minivan around 2 a.m. in November of last year after a night on the town...

WASHINGTON — The East Wing that President Donald Trump tore down last month stood for decades. The ballroom he’s building in its place could be gone not long after the first wave of guests sit down for dinner, depending on the outcome of the 2028 presidential race. If elected, a Democratic president would have plenty to worry about aside from White House decor; war and peace can easily fill up a day. But a new president may face considerable pressure from within the Democratic fold to do something about a massive new ballroom forever linked to Trump. Already, prominent Democratic...

There has been a slew of news stories out of Minnesota detailing rampant fraud of state welfare programs, including the COVID-era "Feeding Our Future" scheme, a housing fraud scandal, and Medicaid scams. Now, "community organizations" are preparing to play the "racism" card in response to these multiple investigations.
