Former National Security Adviser John Bolton claimed Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump did not have any idea what to do in the Middle East. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Former President Trump last night at a rally in Pennsylvania, Shanksville, said that none of this would have happened if he had been president. Take a listen to what he said.”

During an interview with Univision that took place last Wednesday and aired on Tuesday, President Joe Biden stated that he would consider taking further executive action on guns and criticized 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump because Trump “famously told the NRA that, don’t worry, no one’s going to touch your guns” if Trump won. “[Trump] famously told the NRA that, don’t worry, no one’s going to touch your guns if I — from the very beginning, I used to teach the Second Amendment in law school, from the very beginning, there were limitations. … And — but...

As a U.S. Navy veteran, I find it utterly disgusting and contemptible that the Biden administration is taking Israel to the woodshed over a mistaken and tragic drone strike that resulted in the deaths of food aid workers. Especially contemptible among President Biden’s rogues’ gallery of propagandists is John Kirby, former Navy admiral and current White House national security spokesman. Mr. Kirby chastised the Israel Defense Forces for the aid deaths while hypocritically downplaying similar accidental deaths by U.S. forces of innocent Afghans during President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Kabul in August 2021. Yet the simple truth remains: Israel has...

A swarm of “masked tough guy wannabe thugs” trapped a Virginia cop inside her patrol car as they jumped on the hood and tore it apart — before one driver mowed down another cop who was coming to her aid. Shocking bodycam video from the out-of-control “street takeover” showed hundreds of people retaliating against the officers for breaking up their 3 a.m. Sunday car meet-up, according to Fairfax County police. “I’ve got a huge crowd. They’re hitting the car,” the distressed officer can be heard saying as she radios for backup.

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby responded to questions on how the 2021 U.S. strike in Afghanistan that killed an aid worker is different from the Israeli strike that killed World Central Kitchen workers are different by stating that it’s “imprudent to try to compare two things that happened three years apart in two different conflicts.” And there was an independent investigation of the Afghanistan strike, “and that independent investigator found that there was no need for personal accountability to be had, but did find that the U.S....

It was just after 1:30 Tuesday morning when Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D) says he received the call from the city’s fire chief. “He said, ‘Sir, the Key Bridge collapsed,’’ said Scott, who was awake with a three-month-old child when the call came in. “I said, ‘Repeat that.’ He said, ‘The Key Bridge collapsed, a ship hit it, it’s gone, sir.’ ” Scott, 39, said he threw on his official Baltimore city jacket and headed for the scene, calling the governor, the presidents of the state Senate and city council and the city administrator along the way. When he arrived...

MADISON, Miss. (WLBT) - A woman has been arrested after an apparent road rage incident in Madison. On Monday around 08:07 a.m., officers from the Madison Police Department responded to a call regarding a possible road rage incident in the City of Madison. Upon arrival, officers discovered that a female driver had been exiting Interstate 55 southbound onto Highway 463 when her vehicle was shot at by another motorist on the southbound exit ramp. Responding officers quickly gathered information about the incident, including descriptions of the vehicle and the suspect. Shortly afterward, an officer located a vehicle matching the description...

Maintenance costs have risen for many US weapons, including some crucial systems by Ukraine or likely to be deployed in a conflict with China. In particular, operating and support costs for the M982 Excalibur — a GPS-guided 155-mm artillery shell supplied to Ukraine — nearly doubled between 2011 and 2022 to roughly $100,000 per shell, according to a Government Accountability Office report. Such problems are baked into the military procurement system. The sticker price of a weapon, such as a jet fighter, only reflects a fraction of what it will cost to maintain that weapon over its lifetime. "Operating and...

Vladimir Putin has made a direct threat to nuke the West as he accused NATO and the US of 'preparing to strike' Russia in his annual address to the nation. The Russian president, 71, said: 'They, NATO and America, are active in other parts of the world, of course, and they continue to lie there, to deceive. 'They are preparing to strike our territory and, using the best possible forces, the most effective forces to do so.

President Biden was jeered by dozens of protesters on Friday as he visited East Palestine, Ohio more than a year after the disastrous train derailment — as concerns mount over the long-term health and environmental effects on the community. Dozens of area residents lined a commercial strip in the town with signs that said “Too Little Too Late,” “Dementia Joe You Gotta Go” and “Go home, Sleepy Joe!” A pool reporter traveling in the motorcade noted that one angry protester “was giving the middle finger” while several more were “giving the thumbs down.”... The president’s election-year visit to East Palestine,...

The White House says President Biden will not take a cognitive test — even after a damning report from his own Department of Justice highlighting his “poor memory” and voters expressing major concerns about his mental acuity. “The president proves every day [in] how he operates and how he thinks — by dealing with world leaders, by making difficult decisions on behalf of the American people — whether it’s domestic or national security,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Monday, quoting from Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor. “That is how Dr. O’Connor sees it, and that is how...

Mayor Brandon Johnson and his administration received complaints about unsanitary and unsafe conditions at a Pilsen migrant shelter as early as late October, more than a month before the death of a 5-year-old boy focused attention on the state of the facility, emails recently obtained by WTTW News show. On Dec. 17, 2023, Jean Carlos Martinez Rivero died at Comer Children’s Hospital after falling ill at a migrant shelter in the 2200 block of South Halsted Avenue. Then on Dec. 19, several other individuals were taken to the hospital from that shelter with respiratory illnesses, according to the mayor’s office....

Former President Trump continues to confuse former President Obama with President Biden while on the campaign trail and in interviews.

Two Chicago journalists reported that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has become so "stressed out" that he was hospitalized for panic attacks. John Kass and Anita Padilla broke the news on WGN-AM's Chicago Way Podcast on January 16, saying that Johnson needed medical help due to increasing stress. They were talking about the illegal immigrant problem on air when Kass said "No amount of anti-depressants can cure him of this problem." "I know, it's so true," Padilla said. "And you know, I actually, you brought it up, I was gonna bring it up." "The panic attacks?" Kass asked. "The mayor's panic...

The Biden campaign reportedly holds off-the-record meetings with establishment news reporters and editors to provide them with spreadsheets about where they think their reporting fell short. The media’s willingness to take direction from Biden suggests why Americans do not trust the establishment media, as Gallup polling shows: Only 32 percent trust the establishment media “a great deal” or “a fair amount.” 50 percent say the national media intend to mislead, misinform, and persuade the public. Just 35 percent say most news organizations can be relied upon. The New York Times, the Washington Post, and other outlets participate in the meetings,...

Americans are increasingly alarmed by people flows across the US-Mexico border, with record numbers now saying the influx of asylum seekers is a 'crisis' or a major problem, a new poll shows. A CBS News survey found that a staggering 93 percent of respondents said the frontier was in a 'crisis' or that border guards faced a 'very serious' or 'somewhat serious' issue of undocumented arrivals. Only 7 percent of the 2,157 people surveyed said it was 'not much of a problem.'

President Joe Biden likened former President Donald Trump to Nazi Germany during a speech on Friday. Biden’s dark rhetoric is a recent escalation after establishment media outlets questioned whether he would put greater emphasis on bashing his 2024 political rival. Speaking at Valley Forge to commemorate the January 6 protest, Biden equated Trump to one of the worst historical regimes.
