As the 2020 Presidential election reaches its two year anniversary, Donald Trump supporters and midterm candidates continue to spread the falsehood that the former president won the contest. Election deniers, such as Kari Lake, Mark Finchem and Kristina Karamo, have all enjoyed Trump-endorsements, even as he more recently appeared to pivot over the claim. The findings of the January 6 committee have further reinforced efforts to put the myth that Trump won to bed. However, dubious claims about the 2020 election continue to emerge, and not just from the right. Donald Trump's supporters continue to falsely deny he won the...

Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce joined "The Faulkner Focus" Wednesday to slam Hillary Clinton's "insulting" claim in an upcoming documentary series that her "gutsiest" moment was staying married to Bill Clinton while Americans struggle to buy baby formula and gas. TAMMY BRUCE: We're looking at the absurdity here. Gutsy about not divorcing your husband because she made a basis, a decision on what it was she wanted in the future, believing perhaps she needed him to become the first woman president. But, you know, what's really gutsy is when you have two children, and you don't know where you're...

Her parents say she was born with a ‘fierce and confident sense of identity’. And that self-assurance can clearly be seen on the catwalk, where ten-year-old Noella McMaher has become the world’s youngest trans­gender model. Noella – who fashion insiders say could make her first million in the next year – first identified as transgender at ‘two-and-a-half nearing three’, according to her biological mother Dee, 35, who now identifies as a ‘trans masculine male’ and cites Noella as an inspiration. In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Dee said: ‘My spouse and I are both non-binary. 'In terms...

The day after Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook limited a polarizing story ahead of the 2020 election because of an FBI warning, the federal agency said it can only alert a private entity of a potential threat, not require it to take action. In an episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast made available Thursday, Zuckerberg said that although the FBI didn't specifically name a New York Post article about Hunter Biden's laptop, it "fit the pattern" of what the FBI warned about. The Facebook cofounder said the FBI is a "legitimate institution" and that the warning prompted him to...

For the Hass family, the concept of a family tree is quite literal, as Rudolf Gustav Hass grew an avocado tree that would change their lives. Rudolf’s avocado venture began when he purchased an acre of avocado trees in La Habra Heights, California. When those trees didn’t produce enough, Rudolf visited a local nursery and bought a bag of avocado seeds believed to have originated in Central or South America. Of all the seeds he planted, only one seedling became a tall and healthy tree. When this seed cross-pollinated with the other trees on the farm,

Dmitry Medvedev, relishing his unplugged self, has laid down the law on the Special Military Operation (SMO). Bluntly, he affirmed there is a “one and a half” scenario: either to go all the way, or a military coup d’Etat in Ukraine followed by admitting the inevitable. No tertium applies.That’s as stark as it gets: the leadership in Moscow is making it very clear, to internal and international audiences, the new deal consists in slow cooking the Kiev racket inside a massive cauldron while polishing its status of financial black hole for the collective West. Until we reach boiling point –...

The Long Decline in the Middle AUGUST 1, 2022 BY TOM PIATAK The Long Decline in the Middle A graph making the rounds on Twitter shows that, since 1970, the share of aggregate national income held by the middle class has plummeted while the share held by the rich has skyrocketed and the share held by the lower class has barely budged. I do not know if this graph has all the particulars right, but its thrust is undoubtedly correct. The decades-long decline of the once-great American middle class is the overarching political reality that the professional conservative movement has...

The New York Times said Donald Trump must face prosecution over his "unprecedented assault" on American democracy to show that no one is "above the law." In an editorial published on Friday, the Times suggested that it is vital that the former president be criminally investigated over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, including a plot to install fake electoral officials in a number of key states, before he "roused an armed mob" to storm the Capitol on January 6. The paper's editorial board said that while "no one should revel" in the prospect of a former president...

Senate candidate John Fetterman isn’t just radical, he is a threat to the life and safety of every Pennsylvania citizen. by Newt GingrichI recently reviewed every U.S. Senate race in the country, and it became obvious that the most radical candidate, by a huge margin, is Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman.Fetterman can’t possibly win the Senate race against Dr. Mehmet Oz if the central issues become Fetterman’s record and policy positions. He is simply too pro-drug, pro-crime, pro-woke theology – not to mention anti-Western Pennsylvanian oil and gas jobs – to win in an essentially centrist state.Fetterman knows his record...
