"Does he recall details tho, with the dementia and all?" "Not much these days but since it’s all fake news anyway I don’t see the problem."In a text exchange from with former psychiatrist Keith Ablow, Hunter Biden seemed to acknowledge that his father, Joe, had dementia. National File has obtained over 800 pages of text messages sent or received by Hunter Biden in 2018 and 2019. The text messages were retrieved from the infamous laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden at a Delaware computer store that was eventually delivered to the New York Post.

Gloom and Doom Francis Threatens With God's Judgment“Time is running out; this occasion must not be wasted, lest we have to face God’s judgement for our failure to be faithful stewards of the world he has entrusted to our care,” Francis wrote in an October 9 Letter to the Glasgow climate conference COP26.Francis expressed his regret at being unable to attend the Conference in Scotland. The preservation of "God’s creation" is for Francis in his selective worldview one of the great moral issues of our time. He doesn't understand that the secularisation of faith and morals which he promotes, is...

The Netherlands shattered two grim coronavirus records on Thursday. Some 16,364 people were diagnosed with the SARS-CoV-2 infection between Wednesday and Thursday morning, the most ever in a single day. That pushed the seven-day moving average up to 12,378, breaking the previous record of 11,788 from December 22. A combination of raw and corrected data demonstrates that 86,384 people tested positive for the infection during the past seven days, slightly lower than the average indicates. The previous record, based solely on corrected data, was 82,099.

"Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace said President Biden and the Democrats are in "serious trouble" for the 2022 midterm elections, predicting the party's congressional majorities would be "wiped out" if elections were held in the current political climate. Wallace joined the "Brian Kilmeade Show" on Thursday to discuss how the recent GOP election victories in November could foreshadow the outcome of the next cycle.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The U.S. government is urging U.S. citizens to leave Haiti because of the country’s deepening insecurity and a severe lack of fuel that has affected hospitals, schools and banks. Gas stations remained closed on Thursday. The rare warning from the U.S. State Department comes as Haiti’s government and police are struggling to control gangs that have blocked fuel distribution terminals for several weeks. “Widespread fuel shortages may limit essential services in an emergency, including access to banks, money transfers, urgent medical care, internet and telecommunications, and public and private transportation options,” the State Department warned on Wednesday....

Millions of people living in the Midwestern region of the U.S. received their first blizzard warnings of the season on Thursday, NBC News reported. Parts of northeastern South Dakota and western Minnesota were issued blizzard warnings on Thursday. Both areas are part of “Blizzard Alley,” according to NBC News. November blizzards are a rarity; the last time there was a blizzard warning in November was in 2016 in South Dakota, NBC News noted.

The Taliban hold a military parade in Kandahar, Afghanistan's second-largest city and the militants' spiritual heartland, using former Afghan and international forces vehicles and helicopters to inaugurate their new "Islamic Emirate Army". A convoy of military vehicles drove down Kandahar's main road, which links the airport to the city centre, past onlookers while religious music blasted from loudspeakers. The Taliban defence minister recently announced military units would be reorganised and renamed. In Kandahar, the army corps formerly known as "Attal" was renamed on this occasion with the Arabic name "Al Badar".

Urgent measures need to be taken after a survey of 28,000 college and university students showed 16% are heavy drinkers and 50% suffer from severe stress and anxiety, education minister Ingrid van Engelshoven has told MPs. The research, commissioned by the ministry, was carried out at 15 higher education establishments, and is the first large survey to be carried out into the mental state of the country’s students. It found nearly all (97%) of students experience stress, because of both the pressure of work and the coronavirus crisis.

With a boss like this… Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo would regularly lash out at his senior staff — and once told a top aide, “You’re lucky that I don’t throw you out the window,” according to one of his accusers. Brittany Commisso — whose groping allegation led to criminal charges being filed against Cuomo last month — described the then-gov’s infamous short fuse to outside lawyers probing the sexual misconduct claims against him. “He would go from zero to 60 in .2 seconds depending on the situation,” Commisso said during a May 17 deposition, the transcript of which was released...

There are many ways to parse the Republican upset over a Democrat party boss in Virginia this November. Was it proof of the GOP rebounding after a Trump binge? Was it a foretaste of bigger Democrat wipeouts to come in 2022? Was it, to riff off of TAC contributing editor Matthew Walther’s take, false euphoria over a pyrrhic non-conservative win? I think all of these views have merit. For my part, my initial gut reaction to the Old Dominion election was, “Thank God the Clinton henchman and McCabe-ist swamp creature got shown the door.” But as the hours wore on...

Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday claimed a nearly $2 trillion social and environmental spending bill is “poised to pass soon” — despite centrist Democrats hitting the brakes after a new report showed inflation at a three-decade high. Harris, speaking at an Armistice Day event in France, touted passage last week of a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill while saying she’s confident Congress will pass the more contentious and larger spending bill put forth by President Biden. “Just before I traveled here, our Congress passed a landmark piece of legislation to make a historic investment in our nation’s infrastructure. Another...

Conservative critics falsely claimed that President Joe Biden referred to legendary pitcher Satchel Paige as a “negro” during a Veterans Day speech — barely more than a week after pulling the same bit on Biden and Pope Francis. Variations on the same claim spread like wildfire among verified conservative Twitter users Thursday: that the president had referred to the late Hall of Famer as “the great negro at the time,” some even including a clip that plainly reveals the falsehood of the attack: *** What actually happened is that the president was wishing Amb. Donald Blinken a happy birthday during...

Nobody's asking the obvious question: Were the pastor's heart problems caused by the Covid-19 "vaccine"? Generally speaking, I like Franklin Graham. I think he’s a true believer and his messaging is mostly aligned with a Biblical worldview. I’ve taken exception to his rhetoric in recent months as it pertains to Covid-19 “vaccines.” He’s an adamant promoter of the experimental drugs and went so far as to claim Jesus would have approved of the jabs. “I think if there were vaccines available in the time of Christ, Jesus would have made reference to them and used them,” he said during an...

Shiba Inu released the NFTs on October 14, and they sold out just 35 minutes after their release, which the project Lead Shytoshi Kusama tweeted about. Shiba Inu’s objective with developing and releasing...

The managing director of a retail consultant firm said the soaring inflation crisis is one of the “worst” in modern history because it escalated quickly. Strategic Resource Group managing director Burt Flickinger told Fox Business on Thursday that the current inflation crisis “was not a crisis 12 months ago.” “This is the biggest emerging economic crisis for consumers for over a decade,” Flickinger said. “The average cost of living for a family of four is up about $5,000 a year so now it’s a choice between heating homes, feeding families, or giving gifts.” Flickinger added that now, “you can’t do...
