First Lady Jill Biden went on ABC's The View to urge voters "to choose good over evil when you cast your ballots. On the one hand we have Republicans backing the evil forces of the marketplace as the best model for growth and prosperity. Take the issue of inflation. It's been my observation that all the prices put on goods and services are placed there by human beings. If we want lower prices we must get these human beings to put lower-price tags on the merchandise. Joe is doing that. He told the CEOs of Walmart and Target that if...

On this date in 1966, the Congo’s last civilian Prime Minister and three former cabinet officials “walked unfalteringly to the gallows in the main square”* of Kinshasa and were hanged before a crowd a hundred thousand strong as Lt. Gen. Joseph-Desire Mobutu consolidated his ruinous Zairian dictatorship. A cycle of weak governments and nationwide chaos had befallen the resource-rich former Belgian Congo in the early 1960’s after the CIA eliminated the leftist Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba. Evariste Kimba was, when the cycle ended in the fall of 1965, the most recent man to succeed to Lumumba’s title — though hardly...

I said immediately following the guilty verdict from the biased and manipulated New York City jury, that District Attorney Alvin Bragg “just elevated President Trump to countercultural icon status.” [link] The reason is simple, Americans inherently sense corruption, unfairness and can feel when something is profoundly wrong.While many Americans may not fully understand the granular issues at the heart of the Lawfare cases, they know President Trump has not done anything wrong in comparative scale to the attacks and vitriol leveled against him. This “sense” of bearing witness to gross injustice creates an outcome of support for the person being...

Higher-education administrators remain in a tight spot regarding the recent spate of antisemitism on campuses. They have allowed, and in some cases encouraged, a system that has an untenable moral tension where the treatment of Jews is concerned. The war in Palestine has brought this tension to light. Students and faculty on elite campuses tend to see the world in terms of opposing groups: us and them, black and white, good and evil, and, most importantly, oppressor and oppressed. The oppressed can be identified among the poor, black, female, homosexual, etc. The oppressors fall into the opposite groups: the rich,...

The liberal media often accuses former President Trump of endangering the lives of his various antagonists with his criticisms of them. The notion is that a deranged supporter might act out violently. So, it was shocking to hear Alicia Menendez, on Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, tee up Michael Cohen to say something that could endanger the life of President Trump. At the end of multiple segments in which he appeared, Menendez put it to Cohen: "When you say you want peace, you say you'll never get peace so long as Donald Trump is here?"Cohen agreed: "Yeah. I don't...

When it comes to identity politics ..... Victoria is very much Australia’s place to be. Since late last year, the Victorian government has been headed by a hard-left premier, Jacinta Allan. But voila, this week Allan has put Victoria on the international map with one of the most bizarre pieces of identity politics yet seen from a western government. On her Twitter account, Allan announced that ‘We have appointed the first Parliamentary Secretary [equivalent to a junior minister] for Men’s Behaviour in Australia’. She’s actually wrong: it appears this is the first appointment of its kind, anywhere. On seeing Allan’s...

Warning: take your blood pressure medicine if prescribed before watching Rosie O’Donnell's reaction to Trump verdict

Minnesota congressman Dean Phillips called on N.Y. Governor Kathy Hochul to pardon Donald Trump for his ludicrous conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s nakedly politicized persecution of the former president. Even though he’s right—Trump should have never been charged with this garbage in the first place and should be quickly pardoned—his reasoning is way off the charts. He wants to let Trump off the hook now, not because the clown show trial was a stain upon this nation— which it most certainly was—but because it might help the GOP presumptive nominee win at...

The government of President Emmanuel Macron jolted by a downgrading of France's credit by a major ratings agency. Just nine days before the June 9th European Parliament elections...

1) Carried out military interventionism in Libya without Congressional approvalIn June 2011, U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said that Obama had violated the Constitution when he launched military operations in Libya without Congressional approval.In April 2014, Ralph Nader said that Obama should be impeached for his actions in Libya.2) Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton cronies – just like Bush didIn May 2010, it was reported that the Obama administration had selected KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011, just hours after the Justice Department had said it would...

I’m just going to throw out a bunch of factual datapoints that seemingly mean something, but the larger ‘intent’ picture is still opaque. Many readers may not be familiar with the connective tissue between the names, so I’ll just cut to the chase.According to media reports, Pershing Square Capital Management founder Bill Ackman is preparing to back Donald Trump in the 2024 election {LINK}. Bill Ackman is the Wall Street money guy backstopping Elon Musk, and Ackman created the financial vehicle to take the X-Platform back to the public market (unused mechanism).To wit, Elon Musk is reportedly in frequent communication...

ALERT: Alex Jones just broadcast today that government is right now in the process of attempting to illegally seize the InfoWars studios, to put locks on the doors, then force liquidate all broadcast assets, to silence @RealAlexJones . Alex slept in his studio last night and has publicly said he would call local police to stop the illegal federal raid on his studios. Details are coming in slowly, situation is uncertain. Not able to verify everything at this time, but everyone should pray for @RealAlexJones and the InfoWars operation, pray for their safety and for their defense against a corrupt...

Hitler is Informed Trump has been found guilty in Hush-Money Trial.

Covenant School shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale reportedly told her therapist that she was fantasizing about killing her family and committing a school shooting, according to a report by 99.7 WTN radio host Brian Wilson. The therapist reportedly did not report these findings to authorities. 99.7 WTN host Brian Wilson: The ongoing investigation apparently focuses on the shooter’s therapist. Metro Nashville Police Department is remaining silent on this, but sources familiar with the investigation confirm that search warrants were run on the home and office of the therapist in an effort to obtain notes of the therapy sessions with the Covenant...

VIDEONever Trumper George Conway appeared on a CNN panel in the wake of the Trump Kangaroo Court trial verdict. First he started bloviating about "justice" but then got slapped with a very depressing (for him) reality check by establishment type Republican Scott Jennings. What sent Conway over the edge is the sudden realization that Jennings and most other Republicans who have been lukewarm about Trump have been converted into Trump defenders due to the over the top injustice of the Manhattan Lawfare trial. It sent Conway so far over the edge that he looked like he was about to cry...

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) called the creation of a Free Palestinian state "the only feasible option for peace in the Middle East. Hamas is built on an idea. You can't kill an idea with bullets and bombs. We tried this in Vietnam, but the idea of communism couldn't be killed by US troops. Likewise, the idea of a free Palestine from the river to the sea can't be killed. Yielding to this idea is the only sensible." "Of course, this would mean that the occupying Jews must be eliminated," Bowman argued. "There are fewer than 16 million Jews in the...

Romania’s wartime fascist dictator Ion Antonescu was shot on this date in 1946. An army officer who worked his way up to the brass via his exploits in the Second Balkan War and then in World War I, Antonescu emerged as a major nationalist politician in the interwar period. He was the elite political figure who allied with Corneliu Codreanu‘s Iron Guard movement. Antonescu became the Defence Minister in a a far-right government, was temporarily shouldered out of the state by King Carol II‘s coup, and then re-emerged as the leading alternative when Carol’s government was undone by the tectonic...

A massive fire broke out at Farina Farms Inc. in Marion County, Illinois, one of the largest free-range egg facilities in the U.S., resulting in the deaths of millions of chickens. The fire began around 6:30 p.m. along Highway 37 before rapidly escalating into a 5-alarm fire, which required five different fire departments from surrounding areas to tackle the blaze, WAND TV reported.
