The USS Lexington was ferrying aircraft to Midway, and the USS Saratoga and USS...

In my new book, "It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry!" I chronicle my personal and professional experience with my once proud alma mater, the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as the Deep State in the executive branch. Indeed, this experience, where I saw politics elevated over the rule of law – as I also describe in even greater detail with regard to our compromised federal judiciary, whose judges are literally bought and paid for by special interests – is what caused me to conceive of and found Judicial Watch in 1994 and later Freedom Watch, which I...

President Trump, in what he described as the “most important speech I’ve ever made,” claims “bad things happened” during the election. Trump added that if he’s right about the level of election fraud that took place in 2020, “Biden can’t be President.” In a speech that stretched 46 minutes, the President once again claimed voter fraud during the election was rampant and that the results were rigged. “If we are right about the fraud, Joe Biden can’t be president,” he insisted. “We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of votes. We’re talking about numbers like nobody has ever seen before.” The...

Belarus’ President Alexander Lukashenko says military build-ups by the United States and NATO near the western borders of his country, Russia, and a number of other states in the region is cause for “serious concern.” “Once again, the world is on the brink of an unbridled arms race. The most dangerous phenomena are getting worse, namely a military standoff between global centers of power,” Lukashenko said in a statement at an online session of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) on Wednesday. “We clearly see an increase in systemic events of military nature in Poland and in Baltic states,” he...

It is Pearl Harbour Day now in Australia. My father served in the field ambulance of the 2nd 14th Battalion of the Second Australian Imperial Force in 1945. He camped in Morotai for three weeks in June before sailing to the war’s final major battle, the second Battle of Balikpapan. This story imagines what might have happened if someone like my dad had made friends with General Douglas MacArthur. If we are to be free, than our imaginations must be free.

The biggest debate about 2021 probably isn’t where the market is going. It’s how it gets there.We, and many others, are optimistic on the next 12 months. But there’s less agreement among investors on how these gains will be achieved. With our economists still in the 'V-shaped recovery' camp, we think returns will be powered by strong economic growth, driving an early-cycle, post-recession pattern of returns. Buy what you’re usually supposed to buy following a recession.Others disagree. They think our forecasts for economic growth are too optimistic and expect COVID-19 to take longer to dissipate, with a more serious, longer-lasting...

Turkey’s lira briefly slipped on Friday after U.S. lawmakers included mandatory Turkish sanctions in a defense spending bill that moves Washington a step closer to punishing its NATO ally for buying Russian S-400 missile defenses last year. The final version of the $740 billion annual U.S. defense spending legislation would oblige the White House to select from a list of sanctions over the S-400s, which Washington says are incompatible with NATO operations. U.S. President Donald Trump, who is set to step down next month, has said he will veto the bill over separate provisions. But he may need some support...

Mike Braun (R-IN) about why he can not accept the 2020 presidential race results, Sunday on “This Week.” Stephanopoulos said, “As I said, Joe Biden’s victory has now been certified in states totaling 279 electoral votes. So do you now accept that he’s president-elect?”

<p>I’ve written twice thus far on the setting by Justice Alito of a deadline for the Pennsylvania state defendants to file their response to the Emergency Application for Injunctive relief filed by GOP Congressman Mike Kelly and other Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs are seeking Supreme Court review of the dismissal of their complaint by the Penn. Supreme Court seeking to declare all “no excuse” mailed in ballots for the November 3 election to be invalid based on the claim that the Pennsylvania statute adopting that voting scheme violated a provision of the Pennsylvania State Constitution.</p>

Gabriel Sterling is a very unhinged and corrupt top elections officials in Georgia. On Thursday when video was produced showing far left criminals dragging out hidden “suitcases” of ballots to count in the State Farm Center after they removed all GOP observers Sterling tried to claim this was standard operating procedure. Gabriel Sterling earlier last week lashed out at President Trump and his supporters after a Dominion operative was caught on video downloading files from a USB during ballot counting. Gabriel Sterling is a corrupt operative. And now there is proof that Sterling had it out for Trump. We know...
