A seemingly calm Paul Pelosi never let on to responding officers that he was in distress just seconds before he walked back into his house where an intruder bludgeoned him with a hammer, new details from police sources have revealed. David DePape, 42, is accused of breaking into the Pelosi home and beating Paul Pelosi, 82, over the head with a hammer after reportedly intending to hold his wife, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, hostage and break her kneecaps. Instead of telling officers that he needed help, or trying to flee the home, Pelosi calmly greeted them and then retreated...

Jean-Pierre has previously expressed knowledge of the restrictions placed upon her by the Hatch Act. Watchdog group Protect the Public's Trust has called for an investigation into White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre after making public comments she made that appeared to endorse partisan political messaging. PPT wrote to the Office of Special Counsel after Jean-Pierre spoke from the official podium in the White House briefing room on Wednesday, saying "Unfortunately, we have seen mega MAGA Republican officials who don't believe in the rule of law. They refuse to accept the results of free and fair elections, and they fan...

The latest news on the Paul Pelosi incident is that when the cops showed up at his house last week, he told them, “everything’s good,” and then walked back into his house as though he had nothing to fear from his alleged assailant, David DePape. That’s when Berkeley hippie David DePape allegedly whomped Nancy Pelosi’s 82-year-old husband with a hammer. Just like everything else that appears to go against the media’s ludicrous lie about Mr. Pelosi being the victim of a crazed Trump supporter (who lives in a hippie commune plastered with gay flags and Black Lives Matter banners), rest...

The number of Republican voters who are against the war in Ukraine has steadily increased. In March only 6% said that the U.S. is doing 'too much' for Ukraine. That number is now 48%. The Republicans in Congress have been pressing the Biden administration to better safeguard the enormous amount of weapon and money it is sending to Kiev: Following concerns in Congress and accusations by Russia about weapons smuggling, the Biden administration released its blueprint on Thursday for ensuring that the $17 billion in arms it has so far sent to Ukraine were making it to the battlefield —...

Bacteria can travel through the olfactory nerve in the nose and into the brain in mice, where it creates markers that are a tell-tale sign of Alzheimer’s disease.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Friday cast Russia's war in Ukraine as a sacred conflict with Satan, warning that Moscow could send all its enemies to the eternal fires of Gehenna. -snip- Medvedev, who once cast himself as a liberal moderniser as president from 2008 to 2012, said Moscow was fighting "crazy Nazi drug addicts" in Ukraine backed by Westerners who he said had "saliva running down their chins from degeneracy". -snip- In a message marking Russia's Day of National Unity, Medvedev said the task of the fatherland was to "stop the supreme ruler of Hell, whatever name he...

The New Hampshire Senate race is a “tossup” between Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Republican Gen. Don Bolduc, according to Politico, which updated its forecast Friday in favor of Republicans, along with races in Washington State and New York. While Politico finally moved the race to a tossup four days before Election Day, on Tuesday, RealClearPolitics already marked the Granite State race as a GOP pickup. The last two polls measuring the race on Tuesday and Thursday indicated Bolduc was leading the race by a slim margin. Bolduc has come from 13 points behind in just six weeks.

With days to go before the date of both houses of Congress and the Biden agenda are decided, national Pollster Robert Cahaly of The Trafalgar Group took some time out of his busy schedule to field some questions about what’s likely to happen on November 8th and why.

MB: A few months ago things were not looking particularly promising...

Email Print Did you watch the Biden speech on Nov. 2? Not many Americans did. As time moves on, Joe Biden becomes more and more irrelevant. Wednesday night he attempted to motivate Americans to vote for Democrats for the sake of "election integrity." He implied that only Democrats have election integrity, claiming that the MAGA movement Americans are violating election integrity by questioning the 2020 election and by passing state laws that "suppress" voting. Biden in effect asked Americans to put aside the issues of today as being temporary (like inflation, the economy, illegal immigration, crime in Democrat-controlled cities, high...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) promised on Thursday that “not another penny will go to Ukraine” if Republicans retake control of Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections. “The only border they care about is Ukraine, not America’s southern border,” Greene said of Democrats at a Trump rally in Sioux City, Iowa. “Under Republicans, not another penny will go to Ukraine. Our country comes first. They don’t care about our border or our people.” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Ky.) similarly suggested last month that Republicans would rein in Ukraine spending if they retake the House, as the GOP appears poised to...

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Friday the country will require about 1.5 trillion rand ($84 billion) over next 5 years to meet targets in transitioning from coal to renewable energy. Going forward, much more money will be needed," Ramaphosa told a meeting of the presidential climate commission, citing the country's climate investment plan. Last year the United States, European Union, Britain, France and Germany committed to investing $8.5 billion over three to five years to help Africa's most industrialised nation reduce its carbon emissions, which are among the world's highest because it depends on coal...

It appears Democrat Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s “Trump-voting Republican” parents are not Trump-voting Republicans, but card-carrying Democrats. In what seems to be an attempt to paint himself as an everyman candidate who is more Pennsylvanian than partisan, Fetterman apparently talked his parents into claiming they are Trump voters and Republicans in one of his senate campaign ads. “We want to tell you something about John Fetterman. He was raised by two Trump-voting Republicans right here in this house in York,” Karl and Susan Fetterman claim in the 30-second video. “Us!”

China’s Global Times government propaganda outlet predicted a poor performance for Democrats in next week’s midterm elections fueled by President Joe Biden’s incompetence and his insistence on delivering remarks about alleged threats to democracy, which it branded as a distraction from “real issues.” Nationwide polling, particularly in the country’s most contested races, is showing American voters shifting by wide margins towards the Republican Party. A poll last week published by ABC and the firm Ipsos found that inflation and the economy are the top issues for as much as half of independent voters and 73 percent of Republicans nationwide, consistent...

Biden* has made the news with some, ah, colorful speeches lately. Everyone remember's his legendary "Pedo Hitler" speech in Independence Hall in Philly back in September. And now, in the spirit of being the unifying stateseman that he is, Biden* went on TV last night to warn America that the country is in danger if we... vote against his radical agenda that's destroying America. But that's not why I'm writing this post. Easily forgotten in Biden's* recent angry speeches along with his stumbling and stammering senior moments was a pre-recorded speech he gave back in July. But first, let's explain...

National Public Radio, on a regular weekday morning of all things, decided to air a propaganda piece normalizing the slaughter of preborn babies which included actual audio of an abortion being performed. You can hear the moans and groans of the mother, you hear the vacuum turn on, and you hear the nurses assure the mother she's doing okay. It's heartbreaking. I have to tell you, I don't recommend listening to this, but I'm going to put it here because THIS is what the leftists are running on. [Warning: Graphic Audio] Once you get past the horror of the procedure,...

A Chicago man has been arrested and charged after authorities say he left threatening voicemails for a Republican gubernatorial candidate. Scott Lennox, 21, said in one message that he was going “to skin Darren Bailey alive” after killing the candidate’s family, according to a filing from the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office that was obtained by The Epoch Times. “He better kill himself and if he doesn’t, I am going to kill him,” Lennox said. Lennox also described Bailey—an Illinois state senator who is running against Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker—as a racist white person and said he knew where...
