Joe Biden will be hoping he can end the ‘sausage wars’ between Britain and the European Union as he meets Boris Johnson for the first time today. A trade crisis has deepened after the UK government threatened to ferry British meat into Northern Ireland without any checks. Under the agreed Northern Ireland Protocol, UK farmers may be barred from sending certain chilled meat products west across the Irish Sea. The clock is now ticking on the disputed trade between Britain and Northern Ireland as a post-Brexit grace period is due to end on June 30. In the US president’s first...

Where was the outrage back then? Democrats are making a big deal about a case of phone surveillance in the case of locating leakers in Washington from the Trump administration. They forget, or just don't care, that it was they who pioneered the surveillance state. The Obama/Biden used the Justice department to protect career criminal Hillary Clinton from prosecution and to target Trump and associates. When that happened, there was no outrage from Rep. Adam Schiff of the House intelligence committee, or from most of the media. FBI honchos James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and others used a fake dossier from...

If a thing goes without saying it goes even better when being said. First, it should be said that the main, indeed usually the only real, target of the woke brigade is the democratic western world, primarily the U.S., the UK, and Israel. The woke brigade claim to be attacking past and present manifestations of colonialism and slavery, but their accusations never extend to the slave trade of the Ottoman Empire, or to the oppression of the Rohingya by Burma, or Chinese crimes against humanity involving the Uyghur. The woke attack is not only a diminution of the positive contributions...

It is now clear, after the appointment of new attorney general, Merrick Garland, that he must, not may, appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden in public corruption matters that may substantially involve his father. This is especially clear now that it is known, contrary to his fervent denials, that Joe Biden met with Hunter’s corrupt Ukrainian and Russian clients at least once at Café Milano in Washington, D.C. There are likely more meetings, but once is enough. He also met at length in the White House with Hunter’s partner, Devon Archer, as the two were pitching their services...

A poll by the left-leaning Change Research group pits Sen. Lisa Murkowski against two other candidates — Republican candidate Kelly Tshibaka and former senatorial Democrat-backed candidate Al Gross. Tshibaka wins, hands down. In the ranked-choice election method to be used in Alaska for the first time in 2022, Murkowski and Gross split the liberal vote in this poll. John Wayne Howe, who the pollster uses as a placeholder right-leaning candidate of the Alaskan Independence Party, trails in this poll. In the poll, Tshibaka was ranked #1 by 39 percent of respondents, with Al Gross ranked first by 25 percent, and...

LOS ANGELES, CA – America’s Frontline Doctors released the following statement today in response to the announcement by the Centers for Disease Control that they will hold a June 18th emergency meeting of The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP) to address increased rates of inflammation of the heart muscle and heart lining after COVID-19 vaccination, particularly in young people. In a June 10th meeting the CDC disclosed, as of May 31, 475 cases of myocarditis/pericarditis were reported to VAERS of Americans age 30 and younger. The conditions called myocarditis and pericarditis can cause permanent heart damage. AFLDS is currently...

I don’t begrudge anyone their success and couldn’t care less how much money someone has. But our culture puts people who have a lot of money on a pedestal more for having a lot of money and less for how they got it or what they do with it. More often than not, what they do with it is, quite frankly, stupid. “A fool and his money are soon parted,” as the saying goes. But sometimes a fool has so much money that there’s nothing they can do to be parted from all of it, which frees those people up...

Liberty-minded pastor and small-business owner Jackson Lahmeyer of Oklahoma has had enough of Big Government overreach, so now he is taking on RINO Republican James Lankford in the competitive race for one of Oklahoma’s U.S. Senate seats. Citing a very low score on The New American magazine’s Freedom Index (35 out of 100) and his support for the terrorist group Black Lives Matter, Lahmeyer told TNA Senior Editor Alex Newman that Oklahoma deserves better. If elected, Lahmeyer, who does not come from a political background, promised to defend the Constitution, state sovereignty, and more. He is also encouraging and supporting...

HIGHLAND PARK, MI -- Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and LGBTQ rights advocates said a new executive order blocking government funding for conversion therapy on minors is a first step toward outlawing the practices in Michigan. The governor said tax dollars should not go toward “dangerous and discredited” practices during a Monday press conference at the Ruth Ellis Center, a social service agency for LGBTQ youth. Whitmer also endorsed two bills seeking to prohibit mental health professionals from engaging minors in conversion therapy, described as any treatment that seeks to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. “Conversion therapy is opposed...

The New York Times recently updated a piece on Facebook’s moderation of satire, removing a claim that Babylon Bee “trafficked in misinformation.” The New York Times, in the middle of a court battle over allegedly defamatory articles, which, according to a judge, said reporters failed to note that they inserted opinions, made the update and issued a correction after receiving a demand for a retraction over claims about the Babylon Bee, a satire website.

A Virginia couple on Monday became the third and fourth defendants to plead guilty in the sprawling investigation stemming from the Capitol riot in January. However, Jessica and Joshua Bustle of Bristow, Va., became the first to plead guilty in federal court who faced only misdemeanor charges as a result of their actions at the Capitol as lawmakers were attempting to certify President Joe Biden’s electoral college victory. Under a deal with prosecutors, the Bustles each pleaded guilty to one of the four misdemeanor charges they faced: parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. They could get up to...

@Cernovich Folks, the guards are beating the hell out of the January 6th defendants. One had a black eye. Judge didn’t care. Follow @julie_kelly2 for these stories. It’s gulag level stuff happening right here in USA.

JPMorgan's longtime CEO Jamie Dimon says America's largest bank is currently 'stockpiling' cash because there's a 'very good chance' inflation is here to stay after being driven to its highest level in 13 years. Dimon said on Monday that JPMorgan is not buying Treasuries or other investments because of the risk that surging inflation will see the Federal Reserve increase interest rates. 'We have a lot of cash and capability and we're going to be very patient, because I think you have a very good chance inflation will be more than transitory,' Dimon said during a Q&A at Morgan Stanley's...

I had to say something here seeing as how I was yelling at my radio driving home tonight. NPR had a spot focusing on how India has basically emerged from its very ugly COVID-19 crisis where HUGE numbers of people were rescued from death and hospitalization. That part is true...but the reason for it is India decided to use Ivermectin to treat the victims and NPR didnt mention one thing about Ivermectin use. I've been trying to find that NPR recording but I cant. If someone better than I can...please post it here. Thank you!!!

Outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday blasted President Biden’s policy approach to Iran in a “scorched earth” final address to the parliament — comparing the US return to the Iran nuclear deal to President Franklin Roosevelt declining to bomb the train tracks to Auschwitz when he had the opportunity. In his last Knesset address as prime minister, a defiant Netanyahu spoke for more than half an hour, declaring that he would no longer keep his foreign policy disagreements with the Biden administration “behind closed doors.” “The new US administration requested that I save our disagreements on the Iran...

The pandemic saw people leave Democratic blue states in droves and head towards sunnier climes in the red states of the south to escape the strict lockdowns and spiraling crime. A migration report from moving company North American Moving Services found those living in the states of New York, California, Illinois, New Jersey and Maryland headed for Arizona, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Idaho. Four of the top seven states people were fleeing were located in the Northeast where the pandemic stuck first.
