Secrecy is exactly what is wrong about this. Secrecy allowed wild media speculation in Trump-Russia matter. As target, Trump is entitled to copy of warrant, underlying affidavit. He should make them public immediately. Today.

Donald Trump regularly mishandled classified documents while President, his former press secretary has alleged after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago mansion in an apparent hunt for records he is accused of illegally taking when he left office. Stephanie Grisham, a confidant of both Donald and Melania Trump before turning on them over the January 6 storming of the Capitol, said she saw him rip up documents and put some into his pocket during her time at the White House. 'The President of the United States did not handle classified documents properly,' she told CNN Monday night, hours after the FBI...

This is how democracy ends. Or maybe, just maybe, how civil war starts. After the surgically-embalmed octogenarian Nancy Pelosi jetted into Taiwan to proclaim America's enduring commitment to freedom, back home FBI goons were staging a politically-motivated, prime-time raid on the home of her sworn enemy Donald Trump. As events unfolded on live television, it was like watching one of those old conspiracy-theory movies, starring Robert Redford or Gene Hackman.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday that 'no one is above the law' and noted the FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home would have had some legal justification. Pelosi, who repeatedly sparred with Trump when she was speaker and he was president, said she had no special knowledge of the Monday raid. 'All I know about that is what is in the public domain. I was surprised that it flashed on my phone last evening,' the speaker said on MSNBC's Morning Joe.

As the monkeypox virus continues to spread throughout the United States, health officials are asking people at high risk of contracting the virus to stay vigilant and get tested. The virus is known to cause a rash of bumps and blisters that can be painful, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says, but not everyone will see this visual signifier as their first symptom. What are the signs and symptoms of the virus? According to the CDC, monkeypox is like a milder case of smallpox. “The main difference between symptoms of smallpox and monkeypox is that monkeypox causes lymph...

A 65-year-old man died in a freak accident during the Highland Games in the Netherlands on Sunday, Dutch police have confirmed. The man, who was not a spectator at the games, was touring Geldrop Castle in the province of Noord-Brabant, near where the Highland Games were taking place. Sometime in the early afternoon, the man was struck by a heavy metal ball — similar to the ones used in hammer-throw events — and died on the scene. ... A witness who spoke with local public broadcaster Omroep Brabant said the victim “didn’t see the ball coming at all” because he...

45th President Donald Trump released a statement on Monday saying that the FBI has raided his Florida home. Trump, who spoke at CPAC on Saturday in Dallas, and in Kenosha, Wisc. on Friday, said that his home is “currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents.” It was later reported that the FBI took 15 boxes of material from the former president’s residence. Fox reported that more than 30 FBI agents raided the home, and were “not being judicious” about what they took from the home. Trump was New York at the time of the...

A left-wing pollster found that voters disapprove of common left-wing policies and talking points on everything from big government to abortion, Time reported Monday. The poll from the Democratic-aligned Winning Jobs Narrative Project, which surveyed 60,000 voters across 17 states, found that "making villains of corporations" and embracing "culture war topics like abortion" are ineffective strategies for Democrats. Liberals would attract more voters, in fact, if they sounded like conservatives—talking about "respect for work" and placing "government in a supporting rather than primary role." Voters prefer Republicans' handling of the economy, which remains "the top issue of the coming election,"...

Astaxanthin (ASX) is a marine-based pigment in plants that has many different potential functions. ASX is an antioxidant more potent than many other antioxidants. Antioxidants have anti-inflammatory and oxidative stress-reducing properties to potentially reduce the incidence of cancer or inhibit the expansion of tumor cells. We found that application of ASX significantly reduced proliferation rates and inhibited breast cancer cell migration compared to control normal breast epithelial cells. The accessory marine-based plant pigment astaxanthin (ASX) has many different potential functions. ASX is a ketocarotenoid: carotenoids modulate cancer, reproduction, atherosclerosis, immunity, and age-related macular degeneration. Since ASX has anti-inflammatory and oxidative...

With so much focus on artificial intelligence and concepts like ‘the singularity’, we sometimes forget that robots have been around for a long time and that they can be pretty valuable tools even without advanced machine learning or even the possibility to move around on their own. Think about the industrial robots in modern automated car factories, or those mine-clearing robots that help human lives, just to name a couple of examples. Now, one Japanese company is trying to bring attention back to these humble creations with an ingenious humanoid heavy-duty robot capable of performing all kinds of useful chores...

Hello Friends, Last night I was sickened to find out that Biden and Christopher Wray’s FBI RAIDED President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago HOME! The supposed reason for this raid was the execution of a search for materials that Trump allegedly took with him after his Presidency. Fox News sources said the National Archives and Records Administration referred the case to the Justice Department, which recovered 15 boxes of classified materials from the home. Anyone with a functioning brain knows that the Leftist cabal that currently runs our country is deathly afraid that President Trump will run again in 2024. They have tried...

Ilhan Omar, one of the biggest stars of the left, is facing a centrist challenger in her Minnesota congressional primary on Tuesday, while Vermont Democrats will choose a nominee for an open House seat who will likely make history as the first woman representing the state in Congress.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Tuesday described the FBI’s invasion of former President Trump’s personal safe, as part of its unprecedented raid of Mar-A-Lago, as “fair game,” making the remarks during an appearance on Sirius XM’s Julie Mason Mornings. Christie began by speaking from his own experience as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, explaining that moving to proceed with a search warrant against a sitting or former public official is one of the “most grave type of decisions.

The decision by the Justice Department to conduct a full-scale morning raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Largo home does not seem justified, based on what we know as of now. If it is true that the basis of the raid was the former president’s alleged removal of classified material from the White House, that would constitute a double standard of justice. There were no raids, for example, on the homes of Hillary Clinton or former Clinton administration national security adviser Sandy Berger for comparable allegations of mishandling official records in the recent past. Previous violations of the Presidential Records Act typically...
