Just days after President Joe Biden gave a dark speech denouncing Republicans, former President Donald Trump called out the "totally corrupt" "partisan mobsters" of the FBI abusing "their power" to elected the "cognitively impaired" Biden."The FBI is totally corrupt," Trump wrote in a Truth Social statement Saturday. "They blatantly used their power to get a cognitively impaired Democrat elected President — in two elections."Trump compared the latest "abuse" of power of the raid of his private residence at Mar-a-Lago to the perpetrating of the Russia collusion narrative in the 2016 election...."They are an out-of-control group of highly partisan 'mobsters,' a...

Russia has scrapped a Saturday deadline to resume flows via a major gas supply route to Germany, deepening Europe’s difficulties in securing winter fuel, after saying it had found faults in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline during maintenance.Nord Stream 1, which runs under the Baltic Sea, had been due to resume operating at 0100 GMT on Saturday after a three-day halt for maintenance....European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said earlier the EU should impose a price cap on Russian pipeline gas......Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Moscow would turn off supplies to Europe if Brussels imposed such a cap.

Joe Biden's "soul of the nation" Independence Hall speech apparently didn't go over the way he thought it would go over with the voters. That's the only conclusion one can reach now that he's walking back his grandly staged production's bloodcurdling message about President Trump's supporters being "threats to democracy." According to the New York Post: “Do you consider all Trump supporters to be a threat to this country?” a reporter asked Biden at the end of his only scheduled public remarks of the day.“Come on, look, guys, you keep trying to make that case. I don’t consider any Trump...

South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley canceled the team’s upcoming two-game series with Brigham Young University (BYU) on Friday after Duke University volleyball player Rachel Richardson claimed a BYU fan called her racial slurs during a recent game. South Carolina women’s basketball was scheduled to start its season with a home game against BYU, followed by an away game on BYU’s campus during the 2023-24 season.

In a move that seems a stretch even for a leftist corporation that openly promotes LGBT agenda points and links itself to the body mutilations of young children through transgender ideology, this new "cartoon" from Disney features a little girl "Antichrist." "There's no more putting this off. Your dad is the devil and you're the Antichrist," the cartoon mom tells her daughter, about 13. The "adult" programming is called "Little Demon" and one of the actors who provide voicing expressed approval that it normalizes "paganism." Here's the trailer (be aware of adult content):

Rob Schneider has no qualms about publicly voicing his political beliefs, even if it jeopardizes his acting career at this point. That’s what he claimed to Glenn Beck earlier this week, and now, fans are asking just one question on Twitter: what career?

The CD Media Big Data Poll finds Democrat John Fetterman leading Republican Mehmet Oz by 43.8% to 40.0% in a quickly tightening race for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. That lead is now just outside the sampling error of the survey and comes as former President Donald Trump holds to the state to rally for both Dr. Oz and Doug Mastriano. By education, Dr. Oz leads among working class voters with no college degree 45.4% to 33.0% and among voters with some college or a 2-year degree, 42.1% to 36.5%. Fetterman leads among voters with a 4-year degree 51.0% to 39.3%...

The CD Media Big Data Poll finds Democrat Josh Shapiro and Republican Doug Mastriano locked in a tight race for governor in Pennsylvania. Shapiro holds a statistically insignificant lead at 43.9% with Mastriano taking 43.2%. The Keystone State is one of the most crucial battleground states and which party controls the governor’s mansion is critical to the 2024 presidential election. Men back Mastriano 58.1% to 29.4%, while women back Shapiro by a 57.8 to 29.0 margin. By party, Shapiro takes 86% of Democrats against Mastriano, who takes 77.5% of Republicans and is leading significantly among independents, 47.4% to 30.2%. By...

I created a video from Biden's speech. I increased the speed, dubbed a clip from a Hitler speech to replace his, and added some menacing music in the background. Thanks to the red background they used, I already had a menacing clip to begin with. Thus editing the rest was a piece of cake. We all agree that the true Fascists are the Democrats, and Biden being their leader makes him the modern day Hitler. I uploaded it to Rumble, since YouTube has been removing my videos. Seems like I'm being slowly removed from most leftist controlled social sites. Anyway,...

The CD Media Big Data Poll finds Donald Trump leads Joe Biden 46.6% to 40.0% in Pennsylvania, one of the most crucial battleground states. The 45th President became the first Republican to carry the Keystone State since 1988 when he defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, but lost it to the 46th President by less than 1.2% in 2020. “Ahead of both 2016 and 2020, every poll we conducted in the state pointed to a very close race,” Big Data Poll Director Rich Baris, stated. “Now, it’s not at all that close. Even after being raided by the FBI, the former...

On Friday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky responded to a question on whether the handling of schools during the coronavirus pandemic was a failure by the CDC by stating that she was “not in the CDC when schools were closed.” And that “starting in January 2021, I have said, and continued to say, schools should be the first place to open and the last place to close.” After Walensky talked about her review of the agency’s response to the pandemic, host Steve Inskeep asked, [relevant exchange begins around 3:30] “I know you want to look...

While recent polling shows that Senate candidate John Fetterman is leading his Republican opponent, voter registration data indicates that the Democrat should not count Dr. Mehmet Oz out of the race just yet. On May 17, the day of the Pennsylvania primary elections, there were 4,000,436 registered Democrats and 3,450,289 registered Republicans in the state. As of August 29, a little more than three months later, there were 4,001,568 registered Democrats and 3,461,215 registered Republicans. While Pennsylvania still currently has more registered Democrats than Republicans, more than nine times more Republicans than Democrats were added in the period between the...

The German government will support the Ukrainian war effort for “as long as they need us” and no matter what public opinion of voters is on the issue, Germany’s foreign minister said on Wednesday. Appearing at the Forum 2000 conference in Prague, Annalena Baerbock of the Green Party, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the ‘traffic light’ coalition government of Olaf Scholz, said that Germany will press on with supporting Ukraine’s struggle supporting sanctions against Russia for years if necessary.

SHENZHEN - Most residents of the Chinese tech hub of Shenzhen went into a weekend lockdown on Saturday as mass Covid-19 testing kicked off in much of the city of 18 million people. The lockdown, and the suspension of bus and subway services, came into effect two days after city authorities said rumours about a lockdown were based on a "misinterpretation" of the latest Covid-19 prevention and control measures. Residents in six districts that account for the majority of the city's population will be tested twice over the weekend, helping to "minimise the impact on people's working life," the city...

As Serena Williams' her playing career ended Friday night, there's a good case to be made that she is the greatest female player of all time. Even so, facts still matter. And in extolling Serena, CNN got one fact glaringly wrong. Co-host John Berman brought on CNN sports correspondent Carolyn Manno, who claimed: "What Brianna [Keilar] said at the top, the longevity piece, is so important. Because she is in the pantheon of all-time greats. But she has outlasted Michael Jordan and Tom Brady."Serena has outlasted Tom Brady?? Serena is retiring at age 40. Tom Brady is 45, and is...

“If we elect two more senators .... We’ll protect voting rights. We’ll pass election reform and make sure no one, no one, ever has the opportunity to steal an election again!” Biden exclaimed.
