Shelby County District Attorney Steven Mulroy (D), an advocate for far-left jailbreak policies, says 34-year-old kindergarten teacher and mother of two Eliza Fletcher’s murder is merely an “isolated attack by a stranger.” Last Friday, Fletcher was abducted at approximately 4:20 p.m. while jogging around the University of Memphis campus by an individual in a dark-colored GMC Terrain. Her body was discovered Monday evening, approximately 7.5 miles away from where she was abducted, and authorities official confirmed her death the following morning.

The Department of Justice is as reliable as a North Korean news agency—it certainly has similar credibility numbers. These DOJ officials have been going rogue for years. Sorry to rehash what you already know: the Russian collusion hoax, the fabrication of evidence to secure FISA spy warrants on Trump campaign officials, the suppression of exculpatory evidence in that process, the botched kidnapping plot against a Democratic governor in Michigan, and the actual surveillance operation against the Trump campaign proper in 2016—all of which point to these institutions becoming the Left’s political Gestapo force. There is little reason to believe any...

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A federal judge ruled that New York state could not require a Christian family services agency to provide adoption services to unmarried or same-sex couples. New Hope Family Services in Syracuse professes that it cannot provide adoption services to same-sex or unmarried couples because of religious beliefs. It filed a federal lawsuit against the state Office of Children and Family Services in 2018 after the agency told it to revise its “discriminatory and impermissible” policy or shut down its adoption program, according to court filings. U.S. District Court Judge Mae A. D’Agostino in Albany cited free...

The Senate Leadership Fund PAC under the guidance of Senator Mitch McConnell has openly denied funding or greatly reduced funding to Senate America First candidates using the self-serving rationale that he only funds ‘candidates of quality.’ McConnell has also arbitrarily chosen to invest $2.4 M in a Republican primary rather than use the funds to beat the Democrat in the general election. Uncharacteristically pessimistic for a Republican leader of the Senate, McConnell encourages voter suppression of his own party as he predicts that the Republicans only have a “50-50 chance” to take back the Senate. The SLF PAC website contains...

Former first lady Michelle Obama indicated Wednesday that as a black woman, she was never meant to serve as first lady of the United States of America. “A girl like me, she was never supposed to be up there next to Jaqueline Kennedy and Dolly Madison,” she said. “She was never supposed to live in this house and she definitely wasn’t supposed to serve as first lady.” The former first lady spoke as she joined her husband, President Barack Obama, to unveil their official portraits at the White House on Wednesday. She said she often wondered about who was responsible...

Former President Donald Trump slammed the FBI Wednesday for “improperly” taking his medical and tax records. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen M. Cannon disclosed Monday that Trump’s medical records and tax documents were seized by the FBI. Fox News reports his medical records date back 40 years, according a source familiar with the case. “Not only did the FBI steal my Passports in the FBI Raid and Break-In of my home, Mar-a-Lago, but it has just been learned through court filings that they also improperly took my complete and highly confidential medical file and history, with all the bells and...

Billionaire Mark Cuban had harsh words for progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren and her calls to tax the rich during an appearance at Vox Media’s Code Conference. Cuban, who has an estimated personal fortune of $4.6 billion, laid into Warren (D-Mass.) over her frequent calls for higher taxes on him, Elon Musk and other wealthy Americans. The liberal lawmaker has long argued that billionaires don’t pay their fair share in taxes. “I don’t mind being taxed more. I wrote a blog 20 years ago saying it’s the most patriotic thing you can do, after military service, is pay your taxes, because...

ATLANTA, GA — Georgia Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams sounded the alarm to her fellow 2022 candidates this morning, claiming in a press conference that the 2022 midterm elections have already been stolen.

Today, the highly anticipated theatrical film My Son Hunter has opened to rave reviews and leftist panic, as the movie’s trailer has crested to over 4.5 million cross-platform views and climbing. My Son Hunter—Breitbart’s first foray into film distribution—is NOW available to stream and download at MySonHunter.com. This is the bombshell story about Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” that the establishment media and its Big Tech censors did not want the American public to see during the 2020 election–and the left’s reception to My Son Hunter shows that they still don’t want this story seen. It’s not hard to see...

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) does not plan to endorse the state’s GOP gubernatorial nominee, who is backed by former President Trump, according to a spokesperson. “The Governor and Lt. Governor [Karyn Polito (R)] said months ago they don’t plan to get involved in the gubernatorial election so they can focus solely on finishing strong,” Baker spokesman Jim Conroy confirmed to The Hill. “That’s still the case.” Former state Rep. Geoff Diehl, who had the endorsement of former President Trump, was projected on Tuesday night to win the Republican primary in the Massachusetts governor’s race, beating out moderate businessman Chris...

Funny thing: Former President Donald Trump was hoarding classified documents so dear that only cabinet members could read them. We apparently know this because … Department of Justice employees leaked that information to the Washington Post. It’s impossible to take seriously the lecturing on how incredibly dangerous and unprecedented the Mar-a-Lago stash is when its details are given out anonymously to select members of the press. Not that we shouldn’t know what Trump had — to the contrary. Attorney General Merrick Garland should make it clear that he won’t tolerate media leaks, and anyone at Justice or elsewhere in government...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday on FNC’s “America’s Newsroom” that the fact that the FBI found former President Donald Trump’s passports with classified documents during the raid at Mar-a-Lago is evidence that “ties Trump to those documents.”Barr said, “You don’t go into someone’s house and look document by document. You take what you think will be responsive, and then you sort it out through a taint team. No one disputes that goes back, OK? The classified stuff are government documents, and they go to the government. There is no scenario legally under which the president gets to keep...

If you're voting in November's midterm elections, chances are you'll have a candidate on the ballot who denies the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election. An analysis by FiveThirtyEight found that 60% of Americans will have a candidate to choose from this fall who supports former President Donald Trump's lies that the election was stolen. These candidates will appear on ballots in nearly every state, FiveThirtyEight found. The political website drew the candidates' positions from news reports, debate footage, campaign materials and social media and reached out to all Republican nominees for the House, Senate, governor, secretary of state and...

TWENTY-THIRD WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME LUKE 6:20–26 Friends, our Gospel for today is Luke’s version of the Beatitudes, less well-known than Matthew’s but actually punchier, more to the point. It all hinges on detachment, that decisively important spiritual attitude—apatheia in the Greek fathers, indifferencia in Ignatius of Loyola. Spiritual detachment means that I am unattached to worldly values that become a substitute for the ultimate good of God. How bluntly Luke’s account puts things! Look at Luke’s first beatitude, a model for the rest: "Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours." What if we...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says it’s unlikely she could ever be elected president of the United States — because so many people in America “hate women” and “would never let that happen.” The socialist firebrand New York Democrat speculated about the possibilities of her launching a future White House bid in a wide-ranging cover interview with GQ magazine published Wednesday. Ocasio-Cortez said that while she tries to hold onto the belief that anything is possible, her experience in Congress has “given me a front-row seat to how deeply and unconsciously, as well as consciously, so many people in this country hate...

The California Independent System Operator on Wednesday afternoon (at 12:12 PM PDT) issued an Energy Emergency Alert 1, in effect from 4 to 9 pm. The alert by the manager of the state's power grid is a warning to utilities that all electricity resources are expected to be fully committed and some shortages are possible. Residents are already being urged to cut their power use during those hours due to a previously declared Flex Alert, but Cal ISO is again calling on people to step up their conservation efforts further to avoid rolling blackouts. With electricity demand reaching record levels...
