Hunter Biden’s financial dealings with Ukrainian, Russian and Chinese businesses created potential “criminal financial, counterintelligence and extortion concerns,” according to a report by two Senate committees. The report details a series of wire transfers between Biden and a businessman with extensive ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The report, written by the Senate Homeland Security and Senate Finance committees, also states that State Department officials repeatedly raised concerns about Hunter Biden’s work for Burisma Holdings. One official testified that he told Joe Biden in October 2015 that his son’s links to Burisma “enabled Russian disinformation efforts.” U.S. banks flagged suspicious...

LeBron James took a moment on Tuesday night to clarify his position on violence against police officers. The Los Angeles Lakers star has been accused by some of exacerbating tensions between members of the community and police, so he decided to set the record straight.

For a long time, other nations have been free riders on America’s innovative pharmaceutical industry. Worse, they have enacted socialist price controls to limit what they pay knowing that the largest market would pick up the slack to ensure a steady supply of new lifesaving drugs. It needs to stop, but President Trump’s recent executive order is not the right way to do it. Earlier this month, the president signed his “Most Favored Nations” Executive Order to test a program limiting prescription medication payments made through Medicare Part B and Part D to the lowest rate paid in similarly developed...

“In Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin registration among whites without college degrees is up by 46 percent while registration by people of color is up by only 4 percent.”

“Moreover, this investigation has illustrated the extent to which officials within the Obama administration ignored the glaring warning signs when the vice president’s son joined the board of a company owned by a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch.” The Republican-led Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committees released the interim report on Joe Biden’s son Hunter’s role on the Burisma board, a Ukrainian natural gas firm. I remember many publications raising an eyebrow when Hunter joined the Burisma board, especially since President Barack Obama appointed his then-Vice President Joe Biden to oversee Ukraine’s transition from a presidency under a pro-Russian president to a...

Joe Biden appeared to deliver a version of the Pledge of Allegiance during his campaign speech in Wisconsin Monday that left many a viewer baffled. Was it yet another ‘gaffe’ by the former Vice President as the first presidential debate against Donald Trump looms in one week? Biden began by stealing a similar line to his old boss, Barack Obama, regarding his disregard for ‘red states’ or ‘blue states.’ “[President Trump] has a deeply flawed and divisive view of the United States, this nation, and the job he holds,” declared Biden . “I don’t see the presidency that way. I...

BREAKING: Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is reportedly planning to announce the decision in the deadly shooting of Breonna Taylor by Louisville police at 1:30 p.m.

The Portland Police Bureau said that a group of approximately 75 individuals were involved in the chaos last night, which included a “commercial grade firework” being thrown near police vehicles that were parked at the Penumbra Kelly Building. The group reportedly blocked traffic for hours and some ventured onto the property and were arrested.

The Canadian woman arrested on suspicion of sending a ricin-laced letter to the White House had a backup plan to assassinate President Trump if the poison attempt failed, according to court documents. Pascale Veronique Ferrier has been charged with threatening to kill the president. The Justice Department says Ferrier's efforts were attempts to get Trump out of the 2020 presidential race. Ferrier was arrested Sunday and has pleaded not guilty to the charges. She wrote that she had a “better recipe for another poison, or I might use my gun when I’ll be able to come,” the court documents state.

While our old buddy Slow Joe was speaking, he says "I lost that line" while he was reading from a teleprompter. This clip further proves that he uses a teleprompter and still gets confused while reading from a teleprompter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB59hcDpOIE

Before the COVID-19 pandemic walloped our colleges and universities, higher education had been facing threats to existing business models for years. A great deal has been written the past few years predicting the demise of large numbers of U.S. colleges and universities. Many higher education institutions are indeed threatened. But their demise may not be inevitable; the problem may not be endogenous factors but how they are managed, and that can be corrected. Still, the scenario has looked bleak for many small private colleges. Former Harvard Business School professor and management guru Clayton Christensen predicted that half of American colleges...

To many Americans, the rise of the “woke” must seem like a frighteningly realistic remake of the classic science fiction movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” It does not take much exposure to leftist college activists and their like-minded sympathizers to feel like a significant percentage of the population has come under the spell of a ruthless alien ideology.The forced resignation of The New York Times’s editorial page editor James Bennet by staffers who objected to his publication of a conservative op-ed, the push by Princeton University professors to create a committee to oversee “racist behaviors, incidents, research, and...

'I've been a police officer for 30 years, and I've never seen anything like this' A military veteran was robbed in Virginia while he was dying from a heart attack. The sickening video shows the suspect appearing to help the Air Force veteran, but he was actually stealing money out of his wallet. Ray Bass took a city bus in Richmond to his doctor's appointment at the McGuire VA Medical Center shortly before 11 a.m. on Sept. 10. While in transit, the 66-year-old suffered a heart attack. Riders informed the driver that a passenger had collapsed. The driver pulled the...

Total victory is upon us, folks. And some Republicans have managed to get on a path towards redemption with conservatives. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he wouldn’t block the nominee. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is a ‘no,’ but as we’ve said before—Maine is an oddball state. She gets a pass. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), a runner up in the biggest pain in the a** contest among the GOP, did initially say that she’s opposed to filling the Supreme Court vacancy left by Ruth Bade Ginsburg, but is now changing her tune. The last justice passed away last Friday making the...

At the beginning of the debate, Trump should say, "You know what, Joe? Let's switch podiums." Watch the panic as Trump comes over to the rigged Dem podium/teleprompter. He should also bring -- and display/explain for the TV cameras -- a device that jams earpiece transmissions.

In a recent survey of about 50,000 Iranians over the age of 20, a Netherlands-based secular research group found that 1.5% of respondents identify as Christian.Applied across Iran’s population of more than 80 million, the number of Christians in Iran is “without doubt in the order of magnitude of several hundreds of thousands and growing beyond a million,” the research group GAMAAN said after the study.Open Doors USA, a global persecution watchdog organization, says until now, there was no in-depth research to substantiate the claims about the number of Christians in Iran. “Given the high-stakes consequences of leaving Islam in...
