The Senate confirmed Colin McDonald 52-47 to lead the new National Fraud Enforcement Division targeting abuse of taxpayer-funded programs. The Senate confirmed Colin McDonald on a 52–47 vote to serve as the Justice Department’s first assistant attorney general for national fraud enforcement on Tuesday, as the Trump administration ramps up efforts to crack down on abuse of taxpayer-funded programs. The confirmation comes as federal officials continue investigating large-scale fraud schemes, including a Minnesota daycare fraud probe involving millions in taxpayer-funded federal dollars, while House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has alleged whistleblowers warned state leaders about the issue for years....

Black man invades White home, murders 6-year-old, stabs 4 others: Receives early release. White girl gets drunk and says words: Early release denied. (from a sentence that was insane to begin with) "Justice" isn't blind - it's anti-White.

Left-wingers are playing a dangerous game by throwing their lot in with Islamists, Tony Blair has claimed. The former Labour Prime Minister was commenting on the arson attack on four ambulances belonging to a north London-based charity last week and its aftermath. Sir Tony warned that some on the left were in effect legitimising antisemitism – and making Jews “fair game” – by endorsing a viewpoint antagonistic to Israel. In an op ed penned for The Free Press, Sir Tony said the attack was not an isolated incident but part of a “pattern” of rising antisemitism across Britain and Europe....

According to a ZME Science report, three oak barrels were discovered during a water and sewage system project in the center of the city of Skien in southeastern Norway. The seventeenth-century barrels were surrounded by lime deposits, which helped to preserve them, and a large wooden rammer used by builders. Compacted lime was found in the bottom of the barrels and demolition debris was found on top of them. Slaked lime, an ingredient in mortar, was probably stored here. Workers may have buried the barrels to keep the lime chemically stable and prevent it from freezing during the winter. "The...

Both Ayn Rand and George Orwell would have recognized what is going on—and, in fact, they warned us about it. A form of torture I endure for my research is reading the New York Times morning emails. The phrase “alternate universe” aptly describes its sly, misleading story titles, which demonstrate a built-in bias even before the report itself begins. A good example was a heading marked “Territorial Adventurism” used the other day in reference to Trump’s geopolitical strategy in Iran and elsewhere. Adventurism is defined as “Involvement in risky enterprises, especially in foreign affairs, while disregarding established principles or...

WASHINGTON - The 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is 100 days away, and there are events scheduled across the U.S. in celebration. What we know: America250 has announced America's Block Party, kicking off on July 3 and 4 in five cities across the country: New York, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Fort Campbell and Charleston. In New York City, the Times Square Ball will drop on July 3 at 11:59 p.m. ET in a custom America250 design. It's the first time in 120 years that the ball will drop outside New Year's Eve. Los Angeles will host...

NECEDAH, Wis. — A kangaroo who escaped from a Necedah farm earlier this week has been found. The Sunshine Farm announced on Saturday that Chesney the kangaroo was located after being reported missing. On Saturday morning, the farm's Facebook page shared that Chesney was spotted near the power lines on the north side of the street. He was last seen in the area of 23rd and 9th. The Juneau County Sheriff's Office previously stated on Thursday that Chesney's owners were using a drone to search for him. The sheriff's office also said the following: "Apparently his dramatic ‘I’m running away...

Let me tell you, folks, the situation with Iran is going incredibly well, better than anybody could have imagined, and it’s all because of the strength and smart leadership we’ve brought back to America. We’ve got them right where we want them, scrambling and failing, and the results are pouring in like never before. Tremendous progress on every front, and the world is watching us win bigly again. Those IRGC losers thought they could push us around in the Strait of Hormuz, but they were dead wrong, total amateurs. We’re going to blow up all their mines down there, every...

The mother of slain college student Sheridan Gorman is speaking out, vowing a "fight for justice" after the 18-year-old was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant earlier this month in Chicago. Jessica Gorman delivered emotional remarks Saturday at a vigil in Yorktown Heights, New York, honoring her daughter, a Loyola University Chicago freshman whose life was cut short in what authorities describe as a sudden, violent attack. "I want to say this gently, but honestly, as a mom. I'm angry," Jessica Gorman said. "I'm like completely heartbroken, and we are going to fight for justice for our sweet Sheridan, and...

The communists’ infiltration plot has succeeded in America. We understand how they did it. It is now our job to fight back. If you haven’t yet watched Yuri Bezmenov’s 1984 interview with G. Edward Griffin, stop whatever you’re doing and find it. Not because it’s entertaining, though it undeniably is, but because it reads less like a Cold War relic and more like a leaked strategic planning memo from the faculty lounge. Bezmenov, a former KGB propaganda officer who defected to the West in 1970, laid out with clinical precision how a free society could be destroyed from within: not...

Dozens of significant injuries have been reported at the "No Kings" rally today after a multi-scooter pileup as the protest crossed Tremont Street. Nearby trauma centers were reportedly inundated with patients who had suffered broken hips and femurs due to the collision. Area hospitals were also dealing with a mass wave of rallygoers suffering various levels of bowel and urinary incontinence. "It's old-person Armageddon out here," said emergency physician Lee Bockelman. "There are shattered hips and leaking bladders everywhere. I've never seen anything like that. They don't train you for this kind of mass casualty event." Healthcare officials accused rally...

Others have claimed that hitting a ball with the just the right part of a bat to make it fly 150 yards is the most insane skill in sports. But I would just like to consider for one moment the insanity that is pitching. Michael Jordan soaring through the air is amazing... but the distances and heights he achieves are nothing compared to track and field contests. Pitching, on the other hand, is simply the most extreme superlative of throwing; there is no sport of throwing something further or harder than in baseball. And yet, throwing is the activity that...

HUGE SENTENCE IN FLORIDA: @AGJamesUthmeier announces 81 YEARS for Mario Crawford, who used drones to smuggle drugs, weapons & cell phones into state prisons Officials warn contraband is no longer just coming through the gates, it’s coming over the fences

To exactly no one’s surprise, it turns out that a vast leftist network, including the usual communist and socialist oligarchs, is funding the ‘No Kings’ protests. I’m someone who suffers from earworms. As those who have them can attest, they’re no fun. A song gets stuck in your head and refuses to be dislodged. Sometimes, though, it’s not a song; it’s an expression. As I read the latest exposé about the oligarchical leftist funding behind the “No Kings” protests that have been taking place across America today, two earworms clogged my brain: [videos at link] Yes, two classic Hollywood...

You may have noticed by now that far-left progressives seem to shift their focus to something new every few months. You wouldn't necessarily think there was a direct path from support for the Green New Deal to chanting "Death to America" in Tehran, but for some young leftists one thing leads to another. Yesterday the Free Press published a lengthy story about the poster girl for this sort of left-wing extremism. Her name is Calla Walsh and a few years ago she was a well-regarded youth activist working on campaigns for national democrats.Walsh studied at two elite Boston preparatory schools,...

"When I see armed terrorists in Toyotas storming into another country to massacre innocent civilians, I think of only one thing." "Members of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces, an umbrella group that includes several Iran-aligned Shi’ite militias, were seen in the streets of Abadan, according to video published by state-affiliated media."
