Since former President Donald Trump launched his campaign in 2016, the FBI has been involved in a series of shady, politicized acts that seem to benefit the Democratic Party. Now, Congress might have decided to rein in the rogue agency at last. On November 30, Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to FBI Director Chris Wray, asking for details of the Bureau’s policies for recruiting and using “Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHS).” Jordan pointed out, “The FBI has had a poor track record in recent years of relying on CHSs.” He cited the Bureau’s use of renegade former British...

As if California didn’t have enough problems, its failing justice system is flooding the state with predators. Thousands of convicted are being released from prison early. Many of the worst offenders have spent less than a year behind bars. A British newspaper has analyzed California’s offender database and found some horrifying statistics. The Daily Mail reports that over 7,000 of those imprisoned for “lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age” were released later the same year — meaning they spent less than 12 months in prison. The same lenient sentences were handed to hundreds of...

Moscow, December 2, Interfax - The Moscow Patriarchate considers the Ukrainian authorities' intention to ban Russia-linked religious organizations to be targeting the most vulnerable part of Ukraine's population. "The Ukrainian leadership are prepared to act against their own population, and the most defenseless and unobjecting kind at that, the believers and the clergy of the largest and the only canonical Orthodox Church in Ukraine," Russian Orthodox Church spokesperson Vladimir Legoyda said on Telegram on Friday. He was commenting on a decree by Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky, which would pave way for a total ban on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC)....

It is common for gun control zealots to bloviate about how the United States is such a violent country, and others such as Canada’s dictator in chief Justin Trudeau using the crime rate in the United States as justification to seize firearms from his citizenry. And yes, the United States is ranked third when it comes to our murder rate. Now, want to know a dirty little secret? If you remove the following cities—Chicago, Detroit, Washington, DC, St. Louis and New Orleans—from the equation, the land of the free and home of the brave slips all the way down to...

Now that the proof is in the pudding regarding how often Twitter, the most influential social media platform, was essentially used as an arm of a political party to silence opposing voices, the proverbial beans are being spilled by the hour. In a separate but related case involving a lawsuit filed against President Joe Biden and his administration by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, in which he alleges the Biden administration colluded with Twitter and other Big Tech firms to censor and suppress freedom of speech, a bombshell emerged in the discovery process. That bombshell is an email document that...

Incoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would not wade into discussion of former President Trump’s third run for the White House on Sunday. Netanyahu, who is set to make his own return to power, was pressed by NBC’s “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd on whether he would “like to see” Trump become president again. “Oh, God.

Keep me out of it.” Trump, who is facing a slew of legal and federal investigations, announced his third bid...

We’re not going to see an FBI document that says, “Tell Twitter the Biden evidence is Russian disinformation.” When the new Chief Twit, Elon Musk, released the so-called Twitter Files over the weekend, Matt Taibbi’s consequent thread of reporting observed there’s no evidence of a specific warning to social-media platforms that the Biden information was sourced to Russia or hacked…however, there is significant evidence of FBI collusion in the scheme. It is not necessary for FBI officials to issue specific warnings to convey the message that a story should be killed. In these schemes, there are sophisticated actors in each...

The teacher, who goes by Flint and uses they/them pronouns, recently posted a video in which they opened a box of new Pride flags while discussing their queer-centric library, which they say has helped students who are 'figuring out who they are.' 'People get really mad about my queer library. I have like 200 titles that are specific to the LGBT community that I've been curating for...

Sane minds agree that Twitter is about to become even more of a dangerous, ill-monitored tinderbox of hate.

Eight young girls who were forced to marry a Mormon prophet were found together at an Airbnb in Washington after escaping protective custody in Arizona. Federal agents say the eight girls who ran away from group homes in Arizona late last month were found hiding out at the Airbnb in Spokane with one of their older sister-wives, Moretta Rose Johnson, 19, who is now facing federal kidnapping charges. The girls, as young as 9-years-old, had been taken into protective custody by the Arizona Department of Child Services back in September after a whistleblower revealed how Bentley-driving Samuel Rappylee Bateman, 46,...
