Igor Danchenko, a main source for the details of the debunked "Steele dossier" of accusations created by Democrats against Donald Trump while he was candidate for president, and used even after he held office, was a paid FBI informant, according to new documentation, prompting fresh outrage from Trump.Danchenko is facing a trial on five counts of lying to the FBI during that relationship, and the court case is scheduled to be in federal court in a few weeks.But there are appearing new details about the situation in which he apparently fed faked information to former British agent Christopher Steele, who...

NEW YORK (AP) — Americans have grown fond of “buy now, pay later” services, but the “pay later” part is becoming increasingly difficult for some borrowers. Buy now, pay later loans allow users to pay for items such new sneakers, electronics, or luxury goods in installments. Companies such as Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna and PayPal have built popular financial products around these short-term loans, particularly for younger borrowers, who are fearful of never-ending credit card debt. Now, as the industry racks up customers, delinquencies are climbing. Inflation is squeezing consumers, making it tougher to pay off debts. Some borrowers don’t budget...

You might have thought that when you hear a newscaster or reporter call a major U.S. city a “war zone” because of the high crime and murders occurring there that it was just an exaggeration. It turns out that it isn’t. “Per capita murder rates in major U.S. cities such as Chicago, Baltimore and St. Louis are outpacing Ukraine’s recorded civilian death rate from Russia’s invasion,” according to Just The News. Think about that. Cities that get touted as examples of successful progressive places to live have more people dying, relatively, than a nation at war. Cities that held “most...

The statistics may not impress anybody currently living in Chicago or Los Angeles, but the level of violent crime in once-placid Sweden has risen so steadily over the last few decades, with bombings, car burnings, and machete attacks now as familiar fare as meatballs and lingonberries, that Norway’s state TV website, which ordinarily deep-sixes such unpleasantnesss, recently ran an unusually long article on the topic. Noting that Swedish elections were scheduled for September 11, it reported that crime, which only four percent of voters considered a big issue in 2014, was now cited as a major concern by more than...

What would you do if your sandwich order came with a stack of cash? It happened to one woman at an unnamed Georgia restaurant. FORT WORTH POLICE DEPARTMENT VIA TWITTER A Georgia woman hit the fast-food jackpot when she ordered a sandwich and later discovered it was served on a crisp bed of cash. It happened Wednesday, Sept. 14, in Jackson, 50 miles southeast of Atlanta, and Joann Oliver’s next move caught police off guard. “Jackson police were called to Mrs. Oliver’s workplace,” the police department said in a Facebook post. “Mrs. Oliver had (gone) to a local restaurant (drive-thru)...

I heard only two weeks ago about a grandmother in New Orleans, Linda Frickey, 73, who was carjacked in March after taking a break from work to put something in her car. When the carjackers rushed the car and drove off, Frickey got tangled in the seatbelt and was dragged for one block as her clothes were being torn off. According to witness Leanne Mascar, after a neighbor frantically screamed to let her go, the carjackers “slowed down and opened the door to kick her out.” Naked and with her arm severed, that grandmother bled to death in the street....

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Those who follow the debate on restoring Second Amendment rights have probably heard the other side proclaim some variant of:“Most victims are murdered by people they know.”The implication is defending yourself from a murderer is futile because there is no point in trying to defend yourself from a person who is close to you. This is a way of lying with statistics. The truth is far different.Few Victims Are Murdered By Someone They Live With.In 2013, this correspondent published an essay on the Misleading Murderer that you Know. The numbers were from 2010. This article uses numbers from...

The White House said in a statement the purpose of the summit is to “to counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety” promising to put forward “a shared vision for a more united America.

Through its censorship, Big Tech controls the flow of information that informs voters and impacts elections. As the 2022 midterms loom, big tech companies are again announcing their plans to meddle in U.S. elections by censoring news and information. Social media censorship ramped up dramatically following President Donald Trump’s 2016 victory, leading to companies such as Twitter and Facebook colluding with Democrat operatives in intelligence agencies to censor and suppress factual stories that harmed then-candidate Joe Biden during his 2020 campaign. Two years later, following heavy documentation of the meddling, big tech companies are intent on using the same strategy....

This is from a court deposition: Facebook’s stonewalling has been revealing on its own, providing variations on the same theme: It has amassed so much data on so many billions of people and organized it so confusingly that full transparency is impossible on a technical level. In the March 2022 hearing, Zarashaw and Steven Elia, a software engineering manager, described Facebook as a data-processing apparatus so complex that it defies understanding from within. The hearing amounted to two high-ranking engineers at one of the most powerful and resource-flush engineering outfits in history describing their product as an unknowable machine. The...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was thrown for a loop Wednesday when a journalist from NBC asked her an actual question. Jean-Pierre, who had a binder full of notes about various subjects, became flustered when she had to consult it. To her horror, the binder, which she'd considered as nothing more than a prop for several months, did not contain any answers. "I'm sorry, what did you say?" asked Jean-Pierre. "That sounded like a question." The NBC news reporter graciously repeated herself. "Is President Biden planning to address the apparent dichotomy between his constant celebrations for...

Trump And Pence Still At (Polite) War – For Now?: As President Joe Biden approaches the end of his second year in the White House, Republican contenders are preparing their presidential campaigns behind the scenes. Even with the prospect of a third Donald Trump campaign lingering, the Republican Party expects a large slate of candidates vying to go up against Joe Biden in 2024 (or potentially another Democratic pick, if the party’s voters get what they want). Among those candidates is former Vice President Mike Pence, who is expected to make an announcement about his plans next year. We don’t...

A report published Wednesday provided a major update regarding Special Counsel John Durham’s ongoing investigation. Appointed towards the end of the Trump administration to look into the origins of the FBI’s so-called “Russiagate” probe into the former president’s 2016 campaign, Durham’s inquiry appears to be wrapping up. “When John Durham was assigned by the Justice Department in 2019 to examine the origins of the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, President Donald Trump, and his supporters expressed a belief that the inquiry would prove that a ‘deep state’ conspiracy including top Obama-era officials had worked to sabotage...
