..... But now it seems an individual as well is calling for an investigation into another matter concerning the president. An aide who formerly brought claims against Joe Biden but was intimidated into backing off at that time has reinstated her claim against the now-president due to the change of hands of the House. A former aide to President Joe Biden, back when he was a U.S. Senator from Delaware, wants the House of Representatives to open up a formal inquiry into her allegations of being sexually assaulted by Biden in 1993, Independent Journal Review reports. Tara Reade made headlines...

President Joe Biden’s State Department used taxpayer dollars to fund a pro-LGBT group in Colombia that supports the legalization of prostitution. Fundacion Sentiido, a Colombian pro-LGBT group that focuses on “gender, sexual diversity, and social change,” received $16,000 from the State Department, an investigative report from the Washington Examiner reveals. The grant is intended to “provide tools, resources and opportunities to support journalists and activists in Colombia and in Latin America” so they can understand the “use of disinformation and gender restrictive narratives against LGBTIQ and women’s rights,” the State Department explains.

Call it a crisis of faith. Despite appointing the conservative judges who ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade — and fervently courting the religious right during his presidency — prominent evangelicals are beginning to shy away from supporting former President Donald Trump’s third bid for office. A major factor is the same issue driving leaders in other parts of the conservative coalition away from his campaign: They’re not sure he can win. “Evangelicals, conservatives and freedom-loving Americans … the common question is: Who can win in 2024?” Bob Vander Plaats, president and CEO of the Family Leader, told Semafor. “And I...

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch asked Monday whether Colorado baker Jack Phillips was forced to undergo “reeducation” after refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding. Gorsuch’s question came during oral arguments in the case of 303 Creative v. Elenis. Lorie Smith, who owns 303 Creative and provides graphic and web design services, sued the state in 2016 because she did not want to create wedding websites for same-sex couples, arguing the law violated her First Amendment rights. The case is similar to that of a 2018 case involving baker Jack Phillips, also from Colorado, who refused to make...

The Kremlin will begin to disintegrate should Ukraine recapture Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula illegally annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2014, a Crimean official said. Refat Chubarov, a Crimean Tatar leader, made the remarks in an interview with Ukraine's Radio NV in a video published on Thursday. It comes amid reports that Russians are fleeing Crimea to the neighboring Russian region of Krasnodar because they fear Ukraine will eventually liberate the Black Sea peninsula. He said Putin's government will begin to collapse as Ukraine's Armed Forces get closer to recapturing Crimea, adding that the peninsula is of exceptional...

Last week a disabled Canadian military veteran testified in front of the country’s Parliament, claiming that when she complained to Veterans Affairs about a delay in installing a wheelchair lift in her home, they offered to… euthanize her. If you’re an MSNBC viewer and you don’t know what “euthanize” means: This lady was having trouble getting around the house, so Canada offered to move her into a coffin. Wow, even Canada’s own government admits that living in the second-worst snowbound communist country on Earth is a fate worse than death.This sort of medical advice is not only legal in Canada,...

John Davis Ferron and his wife moved to the Village of St. James in 2020. They loved their new home, including two “very nice looking cranes” already in their front planter. The birds were placed there by the previous owner and had been there for years. Then came the dreaded knock on the front door by Community Standards. An anonymous complaint had been received about the birds. The couple grudingly removed the cranes. “However, many of our neighbors who also have cranes and other decor in there front yards are unaffected,” he said. Ferron said it’s a perfect example as...

Former President Trump on Monday insisted he does not want to “terminate” the Constitution, responding to broad backlash after he said over the weekend its rules and laws should be disregarded so he can return to the White House. Trump, in a pair of posts on Truth Social, responded to the fallout from his comments on Saturday that the 2020 election should be redone or he should be put back in office. The former president weighed in after internal Twitter communications showed company officials deciding to limit the spread of posts about allegations against Hunter Biden, President’s Biden’s son, in...

Nearly every state is reporting “high” or “very high” flu activity, according to tracking by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Only four states – Alaska, Michigan, New Hampshire and Vermont – have “low” or “minimal” activity. Two more states, Hawaii and West Virginia, have a “moderate” level of influenza infections.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (CBS12) — A team of sheriff's deputies "conducting an operation regarding illegal street racing" had their work cut out for them when one of the cars almost hit one of them, rammed his SUV, and led authorities on a chase.

Schneider: The Pope Is The First Person Responsible For The Church's MiseryFreemasonry has infiltrated the Church, but the clergy, starting with the Pope and ending with the bishops, are to blame for the current misery.Bishop Schneider said this during an interview with @cjm-media and Gloria.tv recorded on 17 November (video below).He refers to the short pontificate of the good Hadrian VI (1522-1523), who ruled during the Reformation (Schneider: "Protestant deformation").Hadrian sent a legate to the 1523 Nuremberg Diet who everyone expected would condemn Martin Luther. But the legate named the Holy See as the main culprit in the Church's misery."That...

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Monday on CNN’s “At This Hour” said former President Donald Trump is becoming “less and less electable” with his recent actions and statements. Anchor Kate Bolduan said, “The only Republican who has so far declared that he’s running for president there ’24 is Donald Trump. This weekend he called for and suggested terminating the Constitution and overturning the 2020 election results to have himself reinstated into power. You have made clear that you don’t think he has a path to winning in ’24, but what do you think of the statement when you saw it?”...

The vehicles towed from the Moscow crime scene where four University of Idaho students were killed last month have not been moved from the outdoor parking lot where they have been exposed to the elements for nearly one week, images show.

Arizona officials certified the state’s vote canvass on Monday, officially declaring winners in the high-profile gubernatorial and Senate races, among other contests, as GOP figures vow to fight the election results in court. The once low-profile certification process turned into a fierce battle between election officials, Republican candidates and some county boards as the GOP seized on printer malfunctions in the state’s most populous county, in part leading Arizona to become an epicenter for voter disenfranchisement allegations. Election officials have acknowledged mishaps but insist no voter was disenfranchised. Some GOP figures and their supporters claimed officials were lying, unsuccessfully calling...

Webster University assistant professor Ralph Schoellhammer says the Dutch government's plan to shut down 3,000 farms in a bid to comply with EU emissions standards is a “war against humanity”. Mr Schoellhammer said these decisions are made due to a “cultish ideology”. “We get the promises that ‘oh this is not going to be a problem, we are going to move to alternate modes of production’, be it energy or agriculture,” he told Sky News Australia. “In the end, it never works.”‘War against humanity’: Netherlands to shut down 3,000 farms
