September 2nd, 2022 On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, why did former AG Bill Barr stay with the Trump Administration as long as he did if Trump was as bad as he said he was? Barr erroneously assumes that the appointment of a Special Master for the FBI raid is a red herring when the issue at hand is the protection of privilege or one’s fourth amendment right. If privilege simply didn’t matter then it wouldn’t be part of the Presidential Records Act.

All of the cases centre around a private medical clinic in northwestern Tucuman province. Authorities say they have ruled out Covid and common types of flu but are continuing other infection checks. Tests on the local water supply and air conditioners are also being done in the hunt for the cause. The third victim was a 70-year-old woman who had been admitted to the clinic for a surgical procedure. Doctors believe she may have been "patient zero" for the respiratory illness. The others who have fallen ill with the lung condition were medical staff at the centre. Their close contacts...

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters Primetime that he did not think the Department of Justice found what it was looking for during the raid of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Fla. He also accused the Department of Justice of not being fully transparent. “The judge would appoint the special master, and it would be an extension of the court,” Ratcliffe told fill-in host Judge Jeanine Pirro. “I do think that it’s the right thing to do. The DOJ’s position is number one, we don’t need a special master…we’ve...

The only city captured intact by Putin’s forces remains a hotbed of resistance and partisan activity. It was the news many in Kherson had waited six months to hear. The Ukrainian counter-offensive launched this week to recapture the southern city was cheered by those who have suffered under Russian rule since Moscow’s forces took over in March. Residents in Kherson, strategically located on the Dnipro river that cuts across the country, reported hearing missile strikes and explosions around the city, which had made the Russian patrol increasingly jumpy. “The pro-Ukrainian activity of people who remain in Kherson is very high,”...

Charging electric vehicles in Britain soon will be more expensive than filling up gasoline-powered cars thanks to soaring electricity costs — an economic switcheroo that could be a harbinger of shrinking financial benefits for Americans who go green. British energy regulators told electricity consumers to expect to pay 80% more beginning Oct. 1. The national price cap on residential electricity will send the average bill from about $190 per month to an estimated $343 per month, or more than $4,000 per year. The shocking price hike stems from the nation’s limited reserves and Russia’s cutoff of one of the region’s...

A California lawsuit brought by the girl’s parents accuses law enforcement of traveling hundreds of miles to confiscate a beloved pet. When a young California girl purchased a baby goat last spring, the intention was to eventually sell it at a county fair livestock auction. But after feeding and caring for the animal for months, she bonded with the goat, named Cedar, and wanted to keep it. Jessica Long sued the Shasta county sheriff’s department seeking damages and accusing the agency of violating her daughter’s constitutional rights and wasting police resources by getting involved in a dispute between her family...

“Delightful Meditation” (Psalm 1)Our psalm today, Psalm 1, begins as follows: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.” Today I want to tell you about the kind of meditation this psalm is talking about: what it is; why we delight in it; and how to do it. What, why, and how; so here we go. Our theme this morning: “Delightful Meditation.”...

Rep. G.K. Butterfield was proud to be in Congress. Some years ago, the veteran Democrat installed a vanity message on his congressional license plate, broadcasting the district he represents: North Carolina 1. In recent years, the number of menacing threats against sitting members of Congress has ballooned, forcing the Capitol Police to launch thousands of investigations; prompting a flood of new funding for lawmaker security back home and in Washington; and impelling lawmakers to take remarkable precautions to ensure they don’t become the next target of political violence.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Having politically weaponized federal law enforcement for his own political gain, President Biden has now taken to the airwaves to warn that democracy is in real danger. "Folks, I'm using the feds as best I can to destroy my political opponents, but let me be clear: I'm going to have to break more laws and seize even more power if I'm going to stop fascism," yelled President Biden, lighted in blood-red and surrounded by soldiers. "I don't care if that means a federal takeover of elections, an overthrow of the judiciary - heck I don't care if...

This week, President Biden gave what Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson characterized as an “urgent wartime address. Just as FDR rallied Americans to avenge Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, President called for patriotic Americans to help him defend democracy from the MAGA Republicans who are trying to take the country down an authoritarian path that opposes the regulations, mandates, foreign wars, higher taxes and spending needed to rescue us from the selfishness and liberty that ran rampant under Trump.” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre rejected GOP complaints that the President was maligning half the country by pointing out...

A Michigan voting machine recently went missing. Shockingly enough, an Uber driver from Ohio was able to purchase the Dominion voting machine from a Goodwill store for a mere $8. Now, Michigan officials are investigating how the voting machine used in the 2020 presidential election was able to be sold online. An Uber driver from Ohio was able to make an online purchase of a 2020 Dominion voting machine from a Goodwill Industries thrift store in Cadillac, Michigan. Uber driver Ean Hutchinson bought the voting machine from an online Goodwill auction with a winning bid of $7.99. Hutchinson – who...

Bob Barnes, the man who cycled to all 50 U.S. state capitals in one year, is already planning his next journey. Barnes, 52, of Syracuse, New York, rode his bicycle a total of 16,661 miles across the country in 359 days. After following his journey, Fox News Digital spoke with Barnes this week, after he'd been back in Syracuse for about a month to see how he’s settled back into "normal" life.

VIDEOJohn Harwood was finally FIRED by CNN on Friday but what took so long? We have known at least since Wikileaks revealed in 2016 that he is a complete tool of the Democrats as could be seen in his incredible suck-up emails with Clinton campaign manager John Podesta. Here is a compilation of just a small sampling of John Harwood clips that reveals what a completely unprofessional poison toad he is.

PREFACE This study was prepared (for the Historical Division, EUCOM, by a group of former German genernals and general staff officers. The names of the contributors are not announced at this time. The principal author, who by the end of the war had attained the rank of general (Generaloberst), served on the Eastern Front throughout the Russian campaign and the subsequent retreat into the plains of northern Germany.

Appointed commander of a panzer...

A Mississippi pastor has made a shocking confession of his own after he walked into his local sheriff's office to admit to killing a man three years ago and then dumping his body. James Eric Crisp, 37, who is a father-of-two, suddenly had a flash of conscience and decided to come clean to investigators at the Monroe County Sheriff. Crisp served jail time after being caught in a 2019 drugs bust, but before that incident he did something that has weighed on his mind ever since - he killed another man. His drug addiction saw him end up in a...

Gov. Tim Walz, running for reelection on a promise of “One Minnesota,” once described Republicans as naturally inclined to “demonize” others before mockingly accusing them of using “The Handmaid’s Tale” as an “operator’s manual.” “The Handmaid’s Tale” is a book by Margaret Atwood, popularized by a hit television adaptation, wherein women are essentially enslaved, raped, and forced to bear children for a class of male rulers called “commanders.” This is the reality Republicans want, according to Walz, who is attempting to position himself as the “bipartisan” candidate in the race for governor. But he didn’t stop there. “If you don’t...

BERLIN — During his speech last night, Biden abolished the office of the president and named himself Supreme Führer. "It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to accept this new authority I have given myself," said the benevolent ruler. "I love democracy. Once this crisis has abated, I will lay down the powers I have given myself. No, I'm serious. Think about it. Not a joke!" Political dissidents were then rounded up and imprisoned in order to save democracy. The whereabouts of Senator Ted Cruz are currently unknown.

Oklahoma's education secretary said the left is using education as a tool to 'hypersexualize,' 'groom' and 'indoctrinate' children Oklahoma's secretary of education called for a teacher's license to be revoked Wednesday after she provided students "access" to "pornographic material." "The teacher gave out… access to books that are pornographic" which violated the state's laws, Walters told Fox News Digital about Summer Boismier, who worked at Norman High School. In a letter to the state's board of education, Walters said that "Ms. Boisemier's providing access to banned and pornographic material to students is unacceptable and we must ensure she doesn't go...

Kari Lake, the Republican gubernatorial nominee in Arizona, blasted a reporter who asked if former President Donald Trump was “dividing the country” “by falsely telling people he won” the 2020 election.The question came during Lake’s press conference Thursday following President Joe Biden’s speech, in which he called MAGA Republicans a threat to America.“You say you feel like Joe Biden is dividing the country, but do you feel like Donald Trump is doing the same by falsely telling people he won that election when he lost it?” the reporter asked.This is one of the best answers to the media’s 2020 election...
