Trump has sprung his trap. Liberals, your hate has made you stupid. Let's go over the timeline: Trump; as Presidents do, takes materials with him. The GSA even sent more. The National Archives wants them back beginning in January, I think. Trump sends back 15 boxes back.In June Trump's lawyers meet with Feds. Trump takes them on a full tour of his residence. The Feds recommend a more secure locker which later installs.In August a warrant is issued; the Feds raid the residence. 30 agents spend nine hours searching and bust the locker they asked Trump to install. They leave,...

Though LGBTQ people have existed since time immemorial, they’ve only recently begun to receive a fair amount of representation on film and TV. Still, Hollywood has a knack for straightwashing LGBTQ characters and historical figures, reinforcing heteronormativity when it can. ...

Russian spies are refusing to move to occupied parts of Ukraine, FSB insider says Even salaries six or eight times the usual amount cannot entice reluctant agents Some are hiding behind medical certificates signed by compliant doctors Retirees are now being called on, but just three of 200 'said they would consider' Vladimir Putin's secret services agents are refusing to work in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, an FSB 'insider' has claimed. Even salaries six to eight times higher than usual are failing to persuade counter-intelligence officers to move to conquered areas, the alleged source said. Putin urgently needs both regular...

The IRS has received massive backlash from Republicans after setting specific requirements requiring new agents to be armed and use “deadly force.” As previously reported by RSBN, IRS agents are expected to “maintain a level of fitness necessary to effectively respond to life-threatening situations” and “carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.” Agents must also “be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments,” luring heavy criticism from Republicans. The agency is seeking to hire 87,000 new agents after the Senate passed the Democrat-led Inflation Reduction Act, allocating...

'Squad' member reported between $15,001 and $50,000 from rental income in 2021 Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has pocketed up to $100,000 in rental income during the pandemic despite pushing to cancel rent, according to disclosure forms reviewed by Fox News Digital. Tlaib filed her latest annual financial disclosure report Thursday, which reveals she collected between $15,001 and $50,000 in rental income from a Detroit property in 2021.

You’ll soon likely have another specialty plate to choose from in Florida. But this latest plate is already polarizing. Governor Ron DeSantis is promoting a Don’t Tread on Me plate patterned over a flag that was first flown on a warship in 1775 as a battle cry for American independence, but its meaning has changed a lot since then. However, the plates won’t be made available until 3000 people statewide order them. Then you’ll see them popping up on other cars. But already they’re raising eyebrows. The bright yellow historical flag depicts a timber rattlesnake ready to strike. Raymond Homand...

An academic writing for the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre has argued Queen Elizabeth I may have been non-binary in an essay. In an essay on the Globe's website, trans-awareness trainer Dr Kit Heyam referred to the Virgin Queen with 'they/them' pronouns, saying: 'Elizabeth I... described themself regularly in speeches as "king", "queen" and "prince".'

Florida Keys deputies Wednesday morning shot and killed an off-duty federal law enforcement officer who they said pointed a semi-automatic rifle at them. The deputies shot Lane Morgan Caviness, 48, at a house near mile marker 95 in Key Largo around 10:42 a.m. Eastern time.

Caviness was a commercial airline pilot who was also a sworn law enforcement officer with the Federal Flight Deck Officer program, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security’s Air Marshal Service,...

Encouraging reports indicate that the more sensible of the states have finally begun to confront not only the leftist takeover of corporate boards and executive suites, but against the attempts by the modern malefactors of great power – Larry Fink and BlackRock, Brian Moynihan and Bank of America, and the rest of that crowd – to dictate American economic and social life under the banner of ESG. Things are moving quickly. Just recently Governor DeSantis announced a “flat ban” against investing Florida state or pension funds in ESG-involved investments. West Virginia Treasurer Riley Moore listed the firms, including BlackRock, with...

On July 15, 2022, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton amended the complaint filed in federal court against the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, in the Texas lawsuit against the ATF. The complaint challenges the constitutionality of the NFA and the Gun Control Act of 1968 to regulate privately made silencers/suppressors/gun mufflers made and kept in Texas. The amendment incorporates the Second Amendment decision by the Court in Bruen, which establishes a refined and clarified procedure for courts to use in Second Amendment cases.The Texas case came into existence as part of the requirements of HB 957, which became law in Texas...

Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has a much-linked article in the current (Summer 2022) issue of the City Journal with the title “The Corruption of Medicine.” The subject matter has substantial overlap with a Manhattan Contrarian post from last November with the title “The Progressive Neo-Racist Cancer Has Completely Destroyed The AMA.” Mac Donald’s piece goes deeply into what she calls “two related hypotheses” that have recently come to dominate the medical profession: Medical education, medical research, and standards of competence have been upended by two related hypotheses: that systemic racism is responsible both for [1] racial disparities...

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE INTO THE FIERY FURNACE D A N I E L CHAPTER 3 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, ninety feet high and nine feet wide. He then summoned all the provincial officials to come to the dedication of the image he had set up. So they stood before it.

Whoever does not fall down and worship...

"The man whose personal pronouns are “slippery when wet” and whose name became a verb after he was caught on an October 19, 2020, WORK Zoom call with WNYC radio and New Yorker staffers ‘taking a trip to palmdale’, Jeffrey Toobin has quit FakeNewsCNN after two decades of lying about Conservative Republican Patriots in general and years of doing so about President Donald Trump specifically. Some are taking part of his announcement (specifically “Oklahoma City bombing, coming in 2023”) as a threat and with many people in Oklahoma City covering things in tarps it is beginning to resemble the front...

No, that headline’s not a joke. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, once so popular it had its own TV show solely dedicated to its heroics, has become a hyper-politicized, jackbooted bully that no longer serves the American people or the U.S. Constitution, which its employees are sworn to protect. It has become, instead, the intelligence arm and domestic enforcer of the far left. Did we say defund? Yes. But we don’t mean simply to cut its funding, as leftists have disastrously proposed for police forces across the country. We mean tear down the entire rotting edifice of the FBI and...

Federal agents removed top secret documents when they searched former President Donald J. Trump’s Florida residence on Monday as part of an investigation into possible violations of the Espionage Act and other laws, according to a search warrant made public on Friday. F.B.I. agents seized 11 sets of documents in all, including some marked as “classified/TS/SCI” — shorthand for “top secret/sensitive compartmented information,” according to an inventory of the materials seized in the search. Information categorized in that fashion is meant to be viewed only in a secure government facility. It was the latest stunning revelation from the series of...
