Mike Lindell says that before year’s end, you can take the “former” off “former President Donald Trump.” In an interview with Rolling Stone, the MyPillow CEO said that by then the election will have been overturned and Mr. Trump restored to the White House. “Six months from now, Trump will be our real president and our country will be heading toward its greatest rebirth in history,” he told the magazine in a newsfeature about Mr. Trump’s most die-hard supporters that was published Monday. It does move back some of Mr. Lindell’s earlier claims that Mr. Trump will be back in...

President Joe Biden is using time away from summit meetings on his European tour this week for intense preparations ahead of his talks with Vladimir Putin, according to officials, as he works to avoid the pitfalls his predecessors faced in showdowns with the Russian leader. Most of his formal meetings this week have started after noon, leaving his mornings free for consultations with advisers. He has held lengthy preparation sessions with senior officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan, to discuss the wide range of issues he plans to bring up with Putin, from...

There’s growing evidence that Nickelodeon’s hard push to promote the LGBTQ agenda to children is having a negative impact on the network’s ratings. In the last two weeks, both Nickelodeon and its preschool-targeted network, Nick Jr., have released videos championing “trans,” “queer,” and “pansexual” inclusion. One video that sparked mass outrage depicted a cartoon version of drag queen Nina West singing about various LGBTQIA groups “[loving] each other so proudly” on “Blues Clues and You,” a show for two- to five-year olds. That same video showed a female-to-male transgender beaver who appeared to have post-operative surgical scars on its chest....

In March last year I made the following comment ranking the three leading candidates at that time for the presidency: "D. FORIEGN POLICY and NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY 1. Trump. He negotiates. He knows how to build. 2. Biden. How can you protect or represent a nation when you might forget its name? 3. Sanders. You cant protect a nation and bankrupt it at the same time." Biden;s attack on Putin, calling him a bully and a killer, deeply concerns me. Anyone who wants America to talk tough with Putin will be pleased. But is it the job of an allegedly Catholic...

Trump,...

Biden specifically referred to his predecessor's politics as part of a trend of "phony populism," telling reporters that he's attempted to assuage the fears of leaders following President Donald Trump's tenure who have doubted America's role on the world stage. The President made the comments after meeting with the 30-member defense alliance, as well as a number of leaders one-on-one. He also offered a firm defense of the Article 5 collective defense clause, which indicates that an attack on any of the allies in the alliance would be an attack against them all.

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said at the G7 summit that Italy is reassessing China’s investments in the country “carefully,” shifting away from the pro-Beijing policies of the previous government. Draghi expressed concern about the Chinese Communist regime. “It’s an autocracy that does not adhere to multilateral rules and does not share the same vision of the world that the democracies have,” he said at a press conference of the Group of Seven (G7) summit on Sunday. While the newcomer of the G7 admitted the importance of economic cooperation, Draghi noted the difference between the Chinese regime and the West....

Biden likes to talk a big Catholic game when he’s campaigning, but like most Democrats, the moment power is achieved is the moment that Catholicism gets tossed out of the window. As a result, American bishops are going to have a meeting to discuss whether or not he should be denied Holy Communion.According to Fox News, the meeting between the bishops will take place virtually and talk about, not only Biden but any politician who embraces any stances that run contrary to Catholicism’s teachings:The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will hold their annual meeting, virtually, from Wednesday through Friday,...

Over the last month or so pressure has been building on the Chinese government to fully comply with an investigation into the origins of COVID-19, particularly data that could link the outbreak to a lab leak – or rule it out. Anyone who really understands how the Chinese Communist Party and all of its apparatuses operate knows that there is no way full transparency will ever be achieved, but still, we must demand it.If that were the only pressure on the Chinese government, they’d ignore it just as they have for the past 18-plus months. But, based on the propaganda...

"Why is State Senator Jake Corman of Pennsylvania fighting so hard that there not be a Forensic Audit of the 2020 Presidential Scam? Corman is fighting as though he were a Radical Left Democrat, saying that a Forensic Audit of Pennsylvania will not take place. Why is Senator David Argall playing the same game?..."

A nuclear power plant believed to be experiencing a leak posing an “imminent radiological threat” is run by China General Nuclear Power Corporation: a state-owned firm that has enjoyed millions of dollars in investment from President Joe Biden’s son Hunter. Problems at the facility were exposed via a CNN report, which revealed that the plant’s French partner reached out to the White House for assistance: The warning included an accusation that the Chinese safety authority was raising the acceptable limits for radiation detection outside the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong province in order to avoid having to shut it...

A federal judge in South Dakota is on the warpath against the US Marshals service that provides courtroom security, accusing them of ‘kidnapping’ and criminal contempt after they refused to disclose Covid-19 vaccination status. On Monday, US District Judge Charles Kornmann fulminated for nearly an hour at the courthouse in Aberdeen, as Justice Department lawyers and two of the Marshals he wants criminally prosecuted took notes. “This was such an outrageous thing to do,” the judge reportedly said, according to the Washington Post, referring to the incident last month when a female deputy refused to tell him if she was...
