A gun-toting father and son duo shot at an innocent woman they mistakenly believed wanted to break into their Florida home in what authorities characterized as a “really, really stupid” incident. “This ranks among the craziest stuff that I have seen in a while and I’ve seen a lot of crazy stuff,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said of the Saturday morning incident. Gino Colonacosta, 73, and son Rocky, just 15, thought an intruder was lurking when it was just a good neighbor who dropped off a package of medicine at their door that was sent to the wrong home...

America First superstar Kari Lake says she is even willing to debate her Democrat opponent in likely the most hostile environment possible: The mean-girl-dominated, ultra-liberal chat show known as “The View.” In the course of the campaign, Lake, the GOP’s gubernatorial nominee in Arizona and perhaps the best orator in the MAGA movement, has been trying to get Katie Hobbs, her rival and incumbent secretary of state (the official who is supposedly in charge of elections), to agree to a debate on TV. Previously, Lake, who has vowed to clear her high-energy campaign schedule to allow for a Katie-vs.-Kari one-on-one,...

Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, the state’s Democratic nominee for Senate, has a slim 2-point lead over Republican J.D. Vance, new polling shows. Ohio Northern University’s new poll found Ryan ahead with 43 percent to Vance’s 41 percent as the two vie to replace retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman. However, the results were within the poll’s 3.8-point margin of error.

John Fetterman’s campaign is citing a political donor’s note as proof that the Senate hopeful has a clean bill of health. In a letter released by Fetterman’s team, Dr. Clifford Chen said Fetterman has "significantly improved" following his stroke and "can work full duty in public office." The campaign released the letter—which it called a "medical report"—following calls from media outlets for the Pennsylvania Democrat’s health records. Chen’s political leanings could raise questions about his medical assessment of Fetterman, whose race against Republican Mehmet Oz could determine which party controls the Senate. According to campaign finance records, Chen has given...

President Biden on Wednesday rejected criticism that his latest release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve was politically motivated as the White House aims to bring down gas prices with just a few weeks until the midterm elections. “It’s not politically motivated at all,” Biden told reporters after announcing plans to release another 15 million barrels of fuel from the country’s reserves.

Amid pressures of the midterms, gas prices, inflation, and economic uncertainty, President Joe Biden announced a plan he claims will produce a "profit for taxpayers" – and it includes a long overdue call for oil companies to increase production. Biden is releasing 15 million more barrels of oil from the U.S Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) now, calling for U.S. oil companies to ramp up production, and offering them a $70 per barrel guaranteed price to sell it back to the U.S. government to refill the SPR in the future when demand falls and the price drops below $70 per barrel....

The Russian military has declared that it will continue to strike Ukrainian military and energy infrastructure targets. On Tuesday, General Igor Konashenkov, the spokesman for Russia’s defense ministry, confirmed that the strikes that have been occurring have been carried out with high-precision long-range air-and-sea-based weapons. In addition, he announced that U.S.-supplied rocket and radar systems have been destroyed.

We and our readers knew about Joe Biden’s pay-to-play corruption before the 2020 election, but far too many Americans had nary a clue. And then 81 million of them voted for Biden primarily because they thought he was a decent guy who was preferable to President Mean Tweets. Had the American people only known what a corrupt liar Biden really is, had they only paid attention to Donald Trump’s stellar record instead of his mouth, we might not now be suffering under 40-year-high inflation and various other malaise brought about by Biden’s disastrous administration. In October 2020, when news first...

When things are bad, it’s Putin’s fault. “I have been doing everything in my power to reduce gas prices since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine caused prices to spike,” Biden said. ....snip..... Biden also absurdly claimed he will be refilling the oil reserve at $70 a barrel to make money. “By selling from the [oil reserve] at the higher price of $90 earlier this year and then re-filling it in the future at a lower price around $70 will actually make money,” said Biden. Just two years ago the Democrats blocked President Trump from filling the Strategic Oil Reserves at $24...

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, now an MSNBC contributor, is wholly perplexed by the fact that there is a share of independent and Democrat voters who say they would support a candidate who questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election. Referencing a recent New York Times/Siena College survey, Psaki expressed confusion by one particular tidbit in the survey.

PHOENIX — The Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling for an investigation into a recent Phoenix police shooting of a Muslim man suffering from mental health issues. The group is calling for a probe into the death of 34-year-old Ali Osman, who was shot by Phoenix officers Saturday after police say he refused to stop throwing rocks at them. “Because of the circumstances of this disturbing incident, we call on city officials to conduct an independent and transparent investigation in order to determine whether the actions of the officers were within policy guidelines and the boundaries...

Nearly every day there is a report of a young, fit individual, usually a man, who suffers unexplained sudden death now termed “sudden adult death syndrome.” Because COVID-19 vaccination is highly prevalent and linked to the development of heart inflammation and myocarditis, it is a conservative and reasonable conclusion that unless otherwise ruled out, sudden adult death syndrome is a consequence of myocarditis. The differential diagnosis could include other vaccine related serious adverse events including fatal pulmonary embolism, multisystem inflammatory disorder, and vaccine induced thrombocytopenic purpura. Unlike sudden death, most of the other conditions give patients and doctors a...
