Former Attorney General Bill Barr called Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush-money case against former President Donald Trump an “abomination” on Wednesday. Additionally, Barr revealed, despite past differences and concerns about a Trump second term, that he plans to vote for the presumptive GOP nominee in November. Regarding Bragg’s charges against Trump, Barr told Fox News, “I’ve said from the beginning this case is an abomination. You know it’s obviously political, seven years after he pays hush money, to try to come up with this case.” “It’s not only far-fetched, they’re trying to predicate it on a federal crime, which...

Virtually everyone I talk to thinks mainstream news is just propaganda. COVID drove a spike through the very heart and soul of the First Amendment. Even five years before, people generally respected the news. COVID appears to have been the death knell to mainstream news. This chart shows the results of Gallup Polls, and the trust in American media is down well below 40%. Our models warn that when confidence in government falls below 40%, governments begin to collapse. That magic number applies to the media as well. Last October, the Pew Research Center reported that Americans follow the news...

The DeSantis campaign, a super PAC linked to him and a nonprofit group supporting him together paid $95,000 in recent months to the Family Leader Foundation, an Iowa-based nonprofit led by evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats, For that money, DeSantis and supporting groups got three pages of advertisements in a booklet distributed at the July forum attended by 2,000 Christian conservatives, and tickets to the summit, lunch and an after-dinner event. Vander Plaats and his group are leaders in the state’s Christian conservative movement, which has enormous political influence in Iowa. “Vander Plaats clearly understands his political power, his kingmaker...

A 2020 report by a think tank funded by liberal billionaire George Soros raised questions about whether it had any hand in the creation of President Joe Biden’s “Ministry of Truth.” The Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board “may have originated from an under-the-radar think tank report that called on the department to change its focus,” Just the News reported. The 2020 report, published by the establishment Atlantic Council, called on the DHS to begin “prioritizing ‘nonmilitary threats,’ such as white supremacism and disinformation,” according to Just the News’ article. The report was headlined, “Future of DHS Project: Key...

Laws in some European countries that impede migrant children from reuniting with their families or force them to leave when they turn 18 create a “huge security risk” by potentially turning young people to crime and extremism, the chief of Europe’s top human rights body said Friday. Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland said such laws compel many young migrants facing uncertain futures to flee, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation from human traffickers who could push them into crime or the illicit sex trade. “This is causing a huge security risk for Europe,” Jagland said during an interview with...

After 9 months, Bloodbath Bakhmut is falling. Soon, scared, maimed and dying Ukrainian soldiers won’t have to scream in the “Meat Grinder”. Maybe Ukraine is falling. Russia stands on the dead, proud captor of buildings like holes and earth like charcoal. There's the possibility that I'm lying. After all, John Kirby, retired Admiral and ex-spokesperson for the Pentagon, and now spokesperson for the National Security Council, stated on May 2 that: "Russia's attempt at an offensive in the Donbas, largely through Bakhmut, has failed." In the words of the White House, "The National Security Council is the President's principal forum...

Life, Liberty, and Levin host Mark Levin illustrated in the opening monologue of his Sunday broadcast that former President Trump has been hypocritically targeted by a corrupt system. "How is it that Hillary Clinton is still walking on the earth free? She should be getting 50 life consecutive sentences for her violations of the Espionage Act," Levin asked. "How is Jim Comey still walking on the face of the earth free?" He recounted the former secretary of state's email scandal that plagued her failed 2016 presidential campaign. "We know Hillary had a server in her home to gather information, including...

So, I just got a message from a friend who was in Afghanistan. His friend is in hiding with his family, cannot go out to get food, and fears they will all be killed. He is begging for help. The message could be posted on The Palmieri Report soon. It simply amazes me that the Biden Regime let in millions of illegals, while it left our friends in war zones to twist slowly in the wind. Who elected them? Less than a majority...

Liccardo acknowledged his plan won’t “magically stop” mass shootings but says it at least should reduce the harm caused by firearms in the city. He wants the city by September to adopt an ordinance requiring gun owners in San Jose to pay an annual fee and carry insurance to cover unintentional firearms-related deaths, injuries or property damage. The insurance could not legally cover intentional harm caused by a gun owner, he acknowledged. The city has yet to determine the annual fee, which would be used to cover emergency responses to shootings, medical care and related services, but Liccardo said it...

The clamor of the cable cars running up and down San Francisco's roller-coaster hills hasn't been heard since March when a shelter-in-place order shut down the city at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mayor London Breed shared on Twitter Tuesday the orange and burgundy cars will come out of hibernation this year. "People have been asking whether the cable cars will be able to return as we emerge from COVID-19," Breed wrote. "Cable cars are a part of the fabric of San Francisco. They draw tourists, they help our economy, and I'm not going to let them just disappear....

I work 12 hours/day and 7 days a week. I don't have the time to watch these shenanigans, as entertaining or not, they may be. I was just wondering if what happened today can be summarized?

I received word from 2ndDivisionVet wife that he passed away. I am not using his real name here out of respect but, will ping his handle and his wife can if she would like. I didn't ask what he died from but, knowing him for better than 10 years, I knew of medical conditions and a few terrible Operations he had. He was a wonderful human being who cared deeply for his fellow Americans and the ideals that make this country so great that people the world over want to come here and be free, live in liberty and be...

So Wednesday a funny thing happened on the hill as leftist morons decided to "Mock President Trump" by inflating a giant inflatable Chicken with a Trump style hairdo on it. They did this to send a signal about Trump "Playing Chicken with North Korea". This would be akin to Chamberlain Supporters in England right before world war II putting a inflatable chicken with a hat on it's head and a cigar in it's mouth to mock Winston Churchill for "Playing chicken with the NAZIs" Immediately the internet meme patrols on 4chan and the Reddit The_Donald got to work subverting it...
