FBI "didn't show an interest in any of the money" after seizing Hunter Biden's laptop, according to John Paul Mac Isaac, the computer shop owner who reported it to authorities. John Paul Mac Isaac, the Delaware computer shop owner who unwittingly came into possession of Hunter Biden's laptop, says an FBI agent initially gave a stern warning to his family when first offered a copy of the explosive evidence about Joe Biden's son: "You better lawyer up and get out of my office." In a wide-ranging interview Monday with Just the News, Isaac described what concerned him most about the...

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) discussed the impeachment of now-former President Donald Trump over the storming of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month. Coons claimed there is “new evidence coming out every day” showing Trump “spread baseless lies” about the 2020 presidential election results and that he tried to “undermine” the process of our democracy. He added that he does not think incitement of insurrection “is a hard case to make.”

If Hawley and Cruz Are Cancelled, Conservatism Is NextAny conservative worth his salt should defend senators against baseless and dictatorial attacks.The usual suspects have, once again, cobbled together a show trial for Donald Trump in hopes of finally ousting him as the main competitor to their self-proclaimed monopoly on authority and public opinion. Nothing new, of course: this has been the aim of the ruling class, left and right, for the past few years. But now that Trump’s term has drawn to a close, his enemies have begun to focus their fire more keenly on the (alarmingly few) senators who...

Social media giant Twitter has announced a new feature called “Birdwatch” which aims to encourage users to police and flag each other’s tweets if they believe they spread misinformation. The company claims it wants to “broaden the range of voices” fighting against misinformation, but the feature has the potential to devolve into flagging wars between different factions of users. In a recent blog post, Twitter announced a new feature on its site called “Birdwatch,” which allows users to add notes with “helpful context” to tweets that they believe are misleading. To participate, users must have certain information on file with...

"The United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. The United States... does not challenge that position." Thus did President Nixon, in the Shanghai Communique of 1972, accept China's territorial claim to the island of Taiwan. In 1979, Jimmy Carter severed relations with Taiwan, recognized Beijing as the legitimate government and dissolved the U.S. mutual security treaty with the Republic of China on Taiwan. We ceased to be obligated to go to war to defend Taiwan. Fast-forward four decades to the...

As the world's best-selling cookie brand, Oreo excited gluten-averse fans when they announced they'd be releasing the first-ever gluten-free version of their cookies this January. But for one brewery in Colorado, this Gluten-Free Oreo announcement sparked another exciting concept: a Gluten-Free Oreo stout. Holidaily Brewing Company in Golden is billed as "100-percent dedicated to gluten-free," founded by Karen Hertz, a cancer survivor who went gluten-free as part of her treatment plan. The brewery's lineup features plenty of intriguing styles—from a hip hazy IPA to even a gluten-free spin on a wit beer, which is traditionally made from the very not...

In his inaugural address, President Joe Biden pledged to “repair alliances.” Yet one of his first moves in power was to remove a bust of the late British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill from the Oval Office, as President Barack Obama did in January 2009. This was a slap in the face for Great Britain on Day One of Biden’s presidency and sends the wrong signal to America’s closest friend and ally.

Women-only teams at military schools, colleges, and service academies will have to accommodate biological men, regardless of the harm done to women. The newly inaugurated Biden-Harris administration is off to a rocky start with military men and women. Serious affronts have come from Congress as well as the White House, adding insults to injuries with even more damage on the way. It was bad enough when Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., insinuated during a CNN interview that most of the 25,000 National Guard soldiers deployed to guard the Capitol during the Inauguration were white males and probably Donald Trump voters, so...

VIDEO Ah! Virtue signaling is soooo wuuuuunderful! It makes liberals feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Unfortunately, such virtue signaling can sometimes hilariously backfire on them as was the case with the Cesar Chavez bust in the Oval Office.

Democrats are obsessed with former President Donald Trump, even after their candidate, President Joe Biden, was elected as the 46th President of the United States. They have impeached him but as the impeachment trial approaches it appears that not enough Republicans will join Democrats in convicting him, which means in 2024 he could again campaign for the presidency. That is why some Democrats are talking about a contingency plan to rig it so that he can never become president again by using a provision in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, CBS News reported. Section 3 of the Amendment states::...

On Tuesday's Morning Joe, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough in effect accused Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) of murder. In a Trump-pleasing move, Hawley objected to the certification of Biden's Electoral College victory, which was then smeared into Hawley crying for deadly "sedition." I mean, he's one of those little -- I mean, but, but, he goes to Stanford and Yale and he uses it for evil. He uses it to kill Capitol cops. He uses it to start seditions against the United States of America. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

An ITN analysis finds a State Department employee with the same name as a person at the center of accusations of election hacking was one of only ten employees to graduate the National Defense University with an advanced cybersecurity degree. A man by the name of Stefano Serafini is accused of being one of the individuals that facilitated the hacking of the presidential election on Nov. 3. That hack allegedly switched votes electronically from President Trump to Joe Biden and took place at – among other sites – the U.S. Embassy in Rome, Italy. Those allegations, made by Maria Zack...

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell is under attack by the left for the crime of saying he has evidence of mass voter fraud that happened in the November election. Shortly after the breach of the Capitol building on January 6, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohls H-E-B, and Wayfair all announced they would stop carrying My Pillow products in their stores over Mike Lindell’s close relationship with President Trump after Democrats, RINOs, and many in the media blamed President Trump’s speech for the “spontaneous” attack, even though it has been proven that the attack was planned days before Trump’s speech. ....

A woman has admitted suffocating her severely disabled son after suffering a breakdown. Dylan Freeman's body was found in Acton, west London, on 16 August with a sponge in his mouth. His mother Olga Freeman pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility. Three psychiatric reports said Freeman was suffering from a severe depressive illness with psychotic symptoms at the time of the killing.

Dylan had autism, Cohen syndrome - which is linked...

Meet the CDX-50 Tremor – the name alone would likely give Second Amendment opponents night tremors. At just under 23 pounds, the bolt action Cadex CDX-50 Tremor is the lightest .50 BMG platform on the market today – a full 10 pounds lighter than the Barrett M107 used by the U.S. military.

Processed goods like jelly or gravy could be unavailable in NI at the end of the protocol grace period, according to Stormont's agriculture minister. Edwin Poots acknowledged Northern Ireland has plenty of homegrown produce, such as beef or potatoes. But he warned trimmings like Bisto or trifle could be missing from traditional Sunday dinners. He also stood by his claim that action was needed to avert "a major crisis" over food supplies. However, political opponents have accused him of scaremongering. Mr Poots said the official minute of a meeting he held with suppliers - at which he was told of...

About two years ago, one of my wife's best friends began to turn down invitations to get together. Then, out of the blue, she unfriended my wife on Facebook. That's kind of a rude way to brush off someone, so my wife finally asked her: What gives? Have I offended you? Her terse text response was full of self-righteousness: "John (her husband) and I are so appalled by the things that Steve writes that we don't want to associate with you anymore." I wasn't offended that they disagree with my positions or even that they felt our political disagreements are...

I this age of anti free speech, we may have to get our message out in this manner: Happy Days with President Biden (satire).

Over the weekend, a couple of prominent terminations took place in the media universe. A pair of writers from the New York Times each found their tenure at the venerated newspaper curtailed over two separate incidents of questionable decisions they made on social media. It is a ridiculous thing to consider, but what is more ridiculous are the reactions from other journalists who find these results outrageous. Considering that not only have these actions played out over the past calendar year but many in the press were either unconcerned or even supportive of these actions, and now they find this...
