But a close examination reveals politics of the very worst kind meant to influence the 2024 election.” He cites, “Four corrupt, politically motivated prosecutors. One target: Donald Trump.” The trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPAMRVt46KA “Can there be any doubt there’s a sentiment of ‘This is get Trump?'” The video documentary is coming just as a trial is starting...

    Judge Aileen Cannon unsealed a trove of documents Monday that appear to reveal a coordinated effort within the Biden administration to target Donald Trump with political prosecution after he left office. Special Counsel Jack Smith and other federal prosecutors in President Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) indicted Trump in June 2023 for allegedly mishandling classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home. The indictment followed an unprecedented raid on a former president’s home the prior summer. President Biden also retained classified documents after leaving the vice presidency. Yet he was not charged because prosecutors say they believed he would “present himself to...

    They can't bring back their children, siblings or partners, but five years on, the families of the 2019 Boeing crash victims want to ensure a similar tragedy never happens again. "We've got French people, Canadians, Americans, Irish, British, we're all there together and we're fighting for something together," Naoise Ryan, holding a photo of her late husband Mick, told reporters on Wednesday. The Irishman was one of 157 killed when a Boeing 737 MAX operated by Ethiopian Airlines plunged into the ground minutes after take-off on March 10, 2019.

    Public health officials and drugmakers must be transparent about the side effects people may experience after getting their first shot of a coronavirus vaccine, doctors urged during a meeting Monday with CDC advisors as states prepare to distribute doses as early as next month. Dr. Sandra Fryhofer of the American Medical Association noted that both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccines require two doses at varying intervals. As a practicing physician, she said she worries whether her patients will come back for a second dose because of the potentially unpleasant side effects they may experience after the first shot. “We really...

After his arrest, he told detectives he had committed the acts because of the war in Gaza, and in revenge for Israel killing ..and...

    The British government said on Tuesday it would commit its largest-ever tranche of military aid to Ukraine as part of a package worth £500 million ($622 million). The assistance will include further deliveries of Storm Shadow air-launched, precision-guided missiles, as well as vessels and vehicles. The Paveway IV—the latest in the Paveway series of bombs—converts unguided munitions, also known as "dumb bombs," into precision-guided weapons. They can use laser guidance or satellites to find their way to a target. "The Paveway IV will enable Ukraine to strike back" at Russian forces and target high-value assets such as command centers and...

The decisions include shutting down the Ambler Access Road project, which would have opened up part of Alaska to mining needed for renewable energy, and blocking oil and gas drilling on up to 13 million acres of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.

    The recent wave of violent protests and arrests at elite universities like Yale and Columbia have only confirmed for Scott Katz that he made the right decision to attend Elon University. The North Carolina college, where he is currently wrapping up his sophomore year, is a long way from his hometown of Lafayette Hill, the predominantly liberal Philadelphia suburb where the average home costs $610,000. Katz, who is Jewish, says the antisemitism that’s increasingly visible at colleges nationwide—especially in the Ivy League, and other elite institutions like Stanford and Berkeley—hasn’t even touched his campus. “I haven’t been affected by it...

  • TAX DAY – AFL Sues the IRS and Treasury for Illegally Hiding Government Records on the Biden Administration’s Plans for Race-Based Tax Audits

    04/23/2024 8:02:50 PM PDT · by bitt · 14 replies
    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) filed a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of the Treasury for unlawfully concealing records regarding the Biden Administration’s plans for race-based tax audits. Congress prohibits the IRS from collecting data on taxpayer race and ethnicity directly and from acquiring such data indirectly from other agencies. However, to advance the “equity” cult, the Biden Administration simply steamrolled the law. On May 18, 2021, the Department’s Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo said that “racial equity” was a key factor in the Administration’s “design of tax compliance.” On December 14, 2021,...
