Merrick Garland is supposed to be a pretty good lawyer. Harvard Law School, federal prosecutor, federal judge, Supreme Court nominee, attorney general presiding over the Department of Justice (DOJ) — all the cake, most of the icing, without the cherry. But some of my former prosecutor friends tell me that he may have overlooked a key procedural point in his current joust with former President Trump over the Mar-a-Lago documents. On Sept. 8, Garland filed a notice of appeal to the 11th circuit Court of Appeals from the special master order of Florida District Judge Aileen Cannon. Simultaneously, he moved...

Pipe bombs were planted on the night of January 5, at the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), according to the FBI. As evidence this occurred, the FBI released surveillance videos showing a suspect, a man wearing a hoodie, carrying a backpack, walking by the RNC bomb site and sitting on a bench next to the DNC, between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. the night of January 5. The pipe bombs had 60-minute kitchen timers, which means had they been armed and viable they would have detonated before 9:30 p.m. on January 5. But they didn’t....

VIDEO AT LINK.................. Thought a snake in your boot was bad? That old 19th-century idiom is nothing compared to one in your ear. Shocking footage captured the alleged moment that a “surgeon” tried to remove a live snake that infiltrated a woman’s ear. Video of the herpetological surgery has racked up more than 125,000 views as viewers speculate whether or not the squirm-inducing footage is authentic. “The snake has gone in the ear,” reads the caption to the bizarre Facebook clip, which was posted Sept. 1 by an India-based social media star named Chandan Singh to his 20,126 followers. However,...

New Hampshire will hold the last Senate primary before the 2022 midterm elections on Tuesday, with the contest influencing whether Republicans will control Congress next session. New Hampshire’s Senate race has captured the most attention, with the GOP vying to defeat Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan, a first-term incumbent who won in 2016 by less than 1,000 votes and is seen as a “vulnerable” incumbent by Republicans. But her likely Republican opponent, Don Bolduc, could prove controversial in the blue state. The Republican Senate primary in which Bolduc is competing has been described by Politico as damaging to the party. Bolduc,...

BERLIN (AP) — Economists, scientists and environmental campaigners called Tuesday for the German government to create a 100 billion-euro ($100-billion) fund for tackling climate change. Marcel Fratzscher, the president of the German Institute for Economic Research, said the money is needed partly because of Germany’s failure to invest enough in solar and wind power. Adequate funding would have made the country less dependent on fossil fuel imports that are now contributing to energy poverty, Fratzscher said. “These mistakes need to be corrected now,” he told reporters in Berlin. Volker Quaschning, a prominent climate scientist at Berlin’s University of Applied Sciences...

During his opening monologue today, Fox News host Tucker Carlson outlined the history of the Biden administration targeting the democrat political opposition by using the Dept of Justice and FBI. [Direct Rumble Link] During one part of the lengthy segment, Carlson outlined the recent subpoenas to people within the MAGA movement. WATCH: The technique most often deployed, is for the DOJ/FBI to claim an anonymous source has provided information against the subpoena target, and therefore the target must prove their innocence against the “sources” claims. Having received one of these DC subpoenas directly, my experience with the construct leads me...

The unelected operatives at President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice don’t seem to like the idea of impartial oversight. During the unprecedented FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago clubhouse in Florida, the FBI secured a series of supposedly classified documents. Trump’s team claims the documents were declassified. Additionally, a motion filed by Trump’s attorneys on Aug. 22 argued that the DOJ could not be trusted, arguing that, because of this, an impartial “Special Master” needed to be appointed to look over the documents “to preserve the sanctity of executive communications and other privileged materials.” After Judge Aileen Cannon...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A little-known candidate for the U.S. Senate race in Alaska suspended his campaign Monday, hoping not to divide the GOP vote during the general election by throwing his support to a fellow Republican backed by former President Donald Trump. Buzz Kelley, who finished fourth in the primary race, said his motivation for suspending the campaign came after Republicans Sarah Palin and Nick Begich lost to Democrat Mary Peltola in the special general election for the state’s U.S. House seat left vacant with the death in March of U.S. Rep. Don Young. “After the Peltola victory, the...

GO VOTE! Strike a blow for Liberty! Trump has made no endorsements in any of these primaries. Don Bolduc is the conservative running for US Senate In New Hampshire against the moderate, Sununu-endorsed Chuck Morse Also in New Hampshire, in the first congressional district, Karoline Leavitt is the conservative against Matt Mowers (former Chris Christie aide) and Gail Huff Brown (Scott Brown's wife) Governor Sununu is also up for reelection but is likely to win

Trump shared a picture of himself wearing a Q lapel pin, overlaid with the QAnon phrases “The Storm is Coming” and “WWG1WGA,” on his Truth Social account on Monday evening. The post had been originally shared on Truth Social by an account called “Patriots in Control,” before Trump re-shared it.

“It’s tough to be alive now. I think societal collapse is in the air, it smells like it, and without being pretentious, I hope that’s why these movies matter because that’s the role of the artist is to shine a light on what’s going on.” That’s Timothée Chalamet, an up-and-coming American actor musing on Bones & All, the latest film by the Italian director Luca Guadagnino. The movie was wildly popular at the Venice Film Festival. The audience gave it a 10-minute standing ovation, chanting, “Luca! Luca!” Critics on Rotten Tomatoes ranked it 98 out of 100. One reviewer described...

Rick Newman of Yahoo Finance is always a treat as he campaigns for Democrats and their policies. Even with inflation at 40-year highs because of Democrats’ profligate spending (with the help of the Federal Reserve printing money and keeping rates artificially low), and because of Biden’s intentional destruction of the fossil fuel industry, Newman still says that Americans are better off than we think. America is doing better than you think But Beverly Herzog of US News points out: Around 64% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, according to a May 2022 LendingClub survey. You might think that this...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMatthew 1Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son 18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[d]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[e] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son...

US farm machinery giant John Deere has estimated software fees will make up 10 percent of the company's revenues by the end of the decade. Chief executive John May offered the projection in a Wall Street Journal report on how Deere has plowed billions into developing self-driving tractors and crop sprayers that can tell the difference between weeds and produce. Though farmers are already struggling with operating costs – including fertilizer and fuel – Deere wants to sell software subscriptions for operating its ever smarter vehicles. Bernstein analysts estimate that the average gross margin for farming software is 85 percent,...

“Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God!’ The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus” (John 1:35–37). John looked at Jesus as He walked nearby, and repeated to his disciples what he had proclaimed to the crowds on the previous day: “Behold, the Lamb of God!” Having heard their teacher speak again those powerful words, the two disciples followed Jesus. John’s willingness to unhesitatingly hand them over to Him is further evidence of his self-effacing humility and complete...

This recent attack on Trump is a distraction so as not to look at what 0bama did and Biden is doing, which is a 1000 times worse; they are obeying their puppet masters to eliminate more than half of the population of the US and of the world!

When I started watching Tucker Carlson, one of the things that made him enjoyable was that he always kept a little bit of an ironic distance from what he was covering. In recent months, though, that has changed. Tucker’s angry and righteously so. Monday night’s monologue may have been his most fiery yet because he focused on something we’ve all seen from the moment Biden swore an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”: As all totalitarian regimes do, Biden is using the instruments of government to persecute his political opponents. We saw it when...

The National Intellingencer, of yesterday, says: "We learned, last evening, by a messenger from the army of Gen. MCCLELLAN, that he had advanced his headquarters some miles beyond Rockville, and that the army had approached the Monocacy River, the bridges over which, or a portion of them, had been destroyed by the rebels." PHILADELPHIA, Friday, Sept. 12. There are many rumors in town, mainly from Gen. MCCLELLAN's army, all of which have a favorable indication. BALTIMORE, Friday, Sept. 12. The Nationals occupied New-Market, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, ten miles from Frederick, yesterday. WASHINGTON, Friday, Sept. 12, 1862. Information...

Bangkok (AFP) – There's no crunch or crackle, but crickets are on the menu at one Bangkok pop-up serving fusion bug burgers, demonstrating the latest way to incorporate the protein-rich meat into food -- direct from Thailand's farms. Already catching headlines as a meat alternative, the edible insect market is expected to grow into a billion-dollar global industry in the coming years with many adopting creepy-crawlies into their diets as a result of climate damage. Thailand's Bounce Burger is the newest cricket kid on the block with its cricket-beef burgers, sausages, cricket balls and even power bars and cookies. "Crickets...
