Devine pointed to claims by former Hunter associate Tony Bobulinski New York Post columnist and "Laptop from Hell" author Miranda Devine ripped President Biden on Brian Kilmeade's radio show Tuesday, pointing to "overwhelming evidence" that the president was directly involved in his son Hunter's shady business dealings. Devine pointed to testimony from one of Hunter's former associates Tony Bobulinski who claimed the "Big Guy" mentioned in controversial emails surrounding the scandal is President Biden himself. MIRANDA DEVINE: It's quite shocking. We already knew, thanks to the whistleblowers that have very courageously come forward to Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson –...

As the war in Ukraine rages on and the people living there suffer as their leaders stubbornly resist any rational diplomatic settlement to end the crisis, it is important to take a closer look at the idea of Ukrainian territorial integrity. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky intransigently stated when discussing possible negotiations to end the conflict, “Our priorities in the negotiations are known. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are beyond doubt.” President Biden and other American political leaders have vociferously declared “the commitment of the United States to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.” But if we are supporting a war...

The top Republican leader in the Maryland Senate declined to endorse his party’s nominee for governor on Tuesday as Republicans continue to grapple with far-right conservative Dan Cox at the top of the ticket. Senate Minority Leader Bryan Simonaire, speaking about the need to break Democrats’ supermajority control in the Legislature, said he was solely focused on the candidates for state Senate and had no plans to endorse any of the statewide nominees.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has sent a "fact-finding" delegation to the southern border, part of the ongoing battle with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over the busing of illegal immigrants to the Big Apple. The delegation from Adams’ office met on Tuesday with Border Patrol officials in Eagle Pass, Texas, along the shores of the Rio Grande, where hundreds of migrants have crossed into the U.S. each day. In a statement, Adams’ office accused Abbott's office of being "unresponsive" and turning the situation "into a political sideshow." "We’ve sent members of the team down on a fact-finding mission to...

Welcoming and employing varied perspectives from a foundation of mutual respect will improve our interoperability, efficiency, creativity, and lethality.'(LifeSiteNews) – The armed forces have been a project of the gender ideologues for some time, perhaps because they are so overwhelmingly masculine. They still are, and the U.S. military is still easily the most powerful in the world. But that hasn’t stopped the ideologues from making progress. “Pride” is now celebrated by many branches (remember the U.S. Marines’ “Pride bullets?”); there is all sorts of babble about transgender soldiers, as affirming individual identity rather than creating a cohesive unit were the...

A former FBI investigator said Eliza Fletcher's kidnapping suspect had previously abducted a former co-worker of the heiress's uncle. Jennifer Coffindaffer revealed that Cleotha Abston's first kidnapping victim, Memphis Attorney Kemper Durand, worked in the same flaw firm as Fletcher's uncle, Michael Keeney, NewsNation reports. 'I think this is a very significant clue, and I'm sure certainly that the FBI, the US Marshalls and the TBI is looking closely at this relationship,' Coffindaffer said. Abston, 38, was only 16-years-old when he and an accomplice kidnapped Durand, threw him into his own trunk, and tried to force him to withdraw money...

Democrats and the public-health clerisy denounced President Trump for rushing Covid vaccines. They’ve been curiously quiet about the Food and Drug Administration’s gunshot approval last week of revamped booster shots with no trials showing they are safe or effective. The FDA granted emergency-use authorization to mRNA shots by Pfizer and Moderna that are bivalent, targeting the initial Wuhan variant as well as the currently predominant BA.4 and BA.5 strains. The Biden administration ordered 171 million doses earlier this summer, so FDA authorization seems to have been a fait accompli. The FDA probably should have made the reconfigured vaccines available to...

Arizona school districts are poised to violate state law next week when they use taxpayer dollars to send representatives to a politically motivated meeting where attendees will be encouraged to help overturn Arizona’s new universal school reform. This week, the Goldwater Institute asked the Arizona Attorney General’s Office to investigate this illegal behavior and put a stop to it.Arizona law clearly prohibits school districts from using district money or resources, such as personnel, to influence the outcomes of elections—including ballot initiatives and efforts to place measures on the ballot. Nevertheless, public school district employees will be attending the Arizona School...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WSPA) – A South Carolina court has ruled that the electric chair and firing squad are unconstitutional and the state cannot execute inmates by those methods. In Tuesday’s ruling, Circuit Court Judge Jocelyn Newman ruled that both methods of execution are cruel and unusual punishment, in violation of the South Carolina Constitution. “In 2021, South Carolina turned back the clock and became the only state in the country in which a person may be forced into the electric chair if he refuses to elect how he will die,” Newman wrote in her ruling. “In doing so, the General...

Califiornians are apparently not heeding officials’ warnings that they should sacrifice their comfort for the sake of whatever business or social-engineering plan is the new thing. CAISO shows that usage is up 13% today from yesterday at the same time of day and for a second consecutive day, the state’s grid operator issued a level-2 energy emergency alert. ... The emergency declaration allows officials to order some large power consumers to shut down in a last-ditch effort to avoid outages. “We are heading into the worst part of this heat wave, and the risk for outages is real and it’s...

President Biden is rejecting calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. The White House said Tuesday that the designation could have “unintended consequences for Ukraine and the world” and undermine the U.S. ability to support Ukraine at the negotiating table. “We do not think this is the most effective way to go or the strongest path forward,” White House press secretary Karine Jeanne-Pierre told reporters.

Pope Francis Ushers In Radical Environmentalism Under The Guise Of ‘Catholic Teaching’Pope Francis’ militant environmentalism comes couched in the devotional language of his 2015 encyclical “Laudato Sí.” What he calls “the Gospel of Creation” is a politicized assault on fossil fuels, industrial development, economic freedom, and private property. It is the Great Reset in cope and chasuble.A Vatican campaign intent on social, political, and economic transformation arrives this year in two stages. The first appeared in May. The second starts today, Sept. 1, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, and lasts until Oct. 4, the feast...

Mark Keam, a long-serving Democratic member of the House of Delegates from northern Virginia, has resigned his seat, a move that will set up a special election to fill the vacancy in the blue-leaning district. An attorney who was first elected to his Fairfax County-based seat in 2009, Keam said in an interview Tuesday that he had stepped down to take a job in the International Trade Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Keam said he will serve as a deputy assistant secretary running the National Travel and Tourism Office, which is focused on bringing foreign travelers to the...

Joe Biden has made his obsession with President Trump known, most recently through his hellishly lit Mussolini-meltdown speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia last week, manically painting Trump and all his voters as "threats to the republic."He may be doddering and insentient, but he still burns bright against his potential opponent in the 2024 presidential race, which even Democrats don't want him to get involved with. On Trump, Biden's as obsessed with Trump as Stalin was with Trotsky.So it comes to light that not only has Biden tried to smear Trump as a danger to democracy and "threat to the...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday on “CBS Evening News” that President Donald Trump led a “seditious conspiracy against the government of the United States” to hold on to power after losing the 2020 presidential election. Referencing the hearings of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 riot, anchor Norah O’Donnell asked, “What is your takeaway about the January 6 committee and Donald Trump’s actions?”

Actress Jennifer Lawrence claims she “can’t **** with people who aren’t political anymore” — meaning she can’t deal with them anymore — and that she “unleash[es] text message” rants at her family in Kentucky and has nightmares about Tucker Carlson. In a recent interview with Vogue, Lawrence spoke with writer Abby Aguirre over a bottle of wine in an outdoor dining area, where she talked about her misery derived from the U.S. Supreme Court overruling Roe v. Wade and her conservative family members — including her father — in Louisville, Kentucky. The actress, who has an estimated net worth of...
