The eye flutter is strong with this one. When is Karine going to Karack? The video link is one of KJP once again shutting down a press question about FJB and FHB business dealings that everyone at the White House denies exists yet bank records prove that it does.

No...I'm not sorry. And no, I dont want to date her. But I think she and AOC may make a cute couple.

Names gradually rise and fall in popularity over time with changing trends and norms. But certain choices drop off the map more quickly thanks to big cultural or political moments ― think Katrina, Isis and more recently, Karen. It seems that the name Brandon might be joining their ranks. Between 2021 and 2022, the name fell 20 places, from the 181st most popular name for boys in the U.S. to No. 211, according to Social Security Administration data. Like Karen, the name Brandon had been dropping in popularity for many years, but a recent negative cultural association seems to be...

Former President Trump suggested in a new interview that the war between Israel and Hamas will just have to “play out” despite concerns about rising civilian casualties. “So you have a war that’s going on, and you’re probably going to have to let this play out. You’re probably going to have to let it play out because a lot of people are dying,” Trump told Univision in an interview that aired Thursday night. “It should have never started. There was no way it would have started again,” Trump added. “Iran didn’t have the money because Iran is leading this. And...

President Joe Biden fundraised off the Democrat Party’s nearly flawless election day on Tuesday, using the victories in Ohio, Kentucky, and likely in Virginia to draw a contrast between “democracy” and “MAGA.” The Republican potential losses in all three states highlight the GOP’s seeming inability to persuade voters of their arguments against late-term abortions.

Teachers at Palestinian schools run by the UN agency responsible for Palestinian refugees celebrated Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre against Israel and are part of a “national strategy to commit acts of terror,” the head of a watchdog group told The Algemeiner following the release of the group’s new bombshell report on the matter. At least 14 teachers at schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) publicly celebrated the Hamas atrocities on their social media accounts, with one calling the morning of Oct. 7 an “unforgettable glorious morning,” a report...

Black voters are more disconnected from the Democratic Party than they have been in decades, frustrated with what many see as inaction on their political priorities and unhappy with President Biden, a candidate they helped lift to the White House just three years ago. New polls by The New York Times and Siena College found that 22 percent of Black voters in six of the most important battleground states said they would support former President Donald J. Trump in next year’s election, and 71 percent would back Mr. Biden. The drift in support is striking, given that Mr. Trump won...

A White House fence was vandalized Saturday night with red paint as pro-Palestinian protesters shook the gate to one entrance to the executive mansion as some chanted "F--k Joe Biden," the New York Post reported. The demonstrators also covered the General Marquis de Lafayette Statue in nearby Lafayette Park with graffiti and Palestinian flags, according to social media posts. The protesters were rallying against the Biden administration's support of Israel in the war against Hamas. Some outside the White House were heard chanting "F--k Joe Biden." Demonstrators also canted "Free, free Palestine!" and "Cease-fire now!" The U.S. Secret Service said...

Purse snatcher gets instant karma dealt by passerby.

At today's Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) grilled DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas about illegal immigrants with ties to Hamas, and multiple other border-related issues.

Within days of the Hamas slaughter of Israeli innocents, President Biden issued a veiled warning to Iran and any others who smelled a chance to pile on. As the president put it in a White House appearance Oct. 10, “To anyone thinking of taking advantage of the situation, I have one word: Don’t.” It wasn’t exactly a Clint Eastwood “Make my day” moment, but the point was clear enough. The United States has Israel’s back, so the axis of evil forces better stay on the sidelines. The point was underscored when Biden ordered an aircraft carrier strike group to the...

Mr Farage accused the President of being responsible for much of what has happened in the Middle East, which has led to the Israel-Hamas war. He called out Mr Biden's “catastrophic policy error” that he was “directly responsible” for. “Biden’s visit to Israel, the fact that other leaders wouldn’t see him, I thought was very, very significant and then on the plane going back, he could barely utter a word,” Mr Farage told Sky News host Paul Murray. “So, the leader of the free world does not inspire great confidence.”

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to 'completely eliminate' Hamas on Saturday night as he revealed IDF forces have been fighting within the Gaza Strip to get rid of 'evil' and 'bring back' hostages. He told Israeli citizens that the ongoing ground operation is the second phase of the war against Hamas, which he said would see Israeli 'good' triumph over 'evil'. The IDF is exhausting every option to bring hostages home to their loved ones, Netanyahu added, saying he today met with families of those thought to be trapped in Gaza and that his 'heart is broken'. The press...

A presidential primary filing period marked by lights, cameras and (in)action has come to a close at the New Hampshire secretary of state’s office. Two weeks before he dropped out, former Vice President Mike Pence was the only candidate to have his own studio lights shining on him as he signed up for the yet-to-be-scheduled Republican contest next year. Former President Donald Trump’s staff ripped up tape from the carpet that reserved spots for local journalists and put his campaign photographer up front instead. President Joe Biden skipped signing up altogether, in deference to changes that the Democratic National Committee...

For the first time in decades, it's hard to ignore the threat of nuclear war. But as long as you're far from the blast, you're safe, right? Wrong. In this sobering talk, atmospheric scientist Brian Toon explains how even a small nuclear war could destroy all life on earth -- and what we can do to prevent it. A professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado-Boulder, Brian Toon investigates the causes of the ozone hole, how volcanic eruptions alter the climate, how ancient Mars had flowing rivers, and the environmental impacts of nuclear...

US forces are facing a wave of attacks across the Middle East as Iranian forces and their proxies test defences in response to Israel’s bombing of the Gaza Strip. On Tuesday, officials said that at least two dozen US troops had been hurt in a wave of attacks on their bases in Iraq and Syria over the past week. Tortoise understands that the attacks are more extensive than has been reported.

Republicans announced Friday that they had uncovered a "direct payment" to President Joe Biden...But the March 2018 payment came from Joe Biden's brother James, not a Ukrainian oligarch or Chinese tycoon, and the check was marked as a "loan repayment."

Sen. Ted Cruz is pulling the curtain back on three "Iranian spies" who were allegedly working at senior levels within the Biden administration, claiming that one of the Iran "sympathizers" is regularly accessing classified materials while working as a chief of staff in the Department of Defense. SEN. TED CRUZ: Well, and what you just mentioned with Rob Malley remains one of the greatest national security scandals in our nation's history. So, Rob Malley was Joe Biden's chief negotiator for Iran. He's an incredible Iran sympathizer. He is an advocate, a passionate advocate for the disastrous Obama-Iran nuclear deal. But...

Donald Trump tore into Democrat suggestions that his supporters need ‘formal deprogramming’ with a new campaign ad based on George Orwell’s 1984. The new ad posted on his Truth Social platform shows the Republican front-runner coming to the rescue of American workers reduced to mindless drones under the tyranny of Joe Biden. One part of the clip shows voters being instructed to ignore a clip of Biden, 80, tripping as he climbs the stairs of Air Force One, with the ageing president hit by numerous such incidents that have raised questions over his fitness for office. It claims the real...

As President Joe Biden declared unwavering support for Israel in the days after Hamas’ terror attack in Israel, Ahmad Ramadan, a former Biden adviser now leading coalition efforts for the Michigan Democratic Party, called the state party chair to raise the alarm about what he was hearing. Michigan has one of the largest Muslim and Arab American populations in the country, and they say their support for Biden was instrumental to putting him over the top in the critical swing state in 2020. But now, Ramadan and other Democratic leaders in the state were hearing nothing but frustration with Biden...
