This one comes in the wake of an u unprecedented crisis our country is witnessing at the border, with millions pouring into the country unchecked and unaccounted for.

Kennedy were released, then-President Trump ordered all of them to be made public.On Twitter, President Trump announced that after consulting with the chief of staff, John Kelly, the CIA, and other agencies, he would release all the files, with the exception of names and addresses of living individuals.#JFKFilespic.twitter.com/AnPBSJFh3J— Donald J.

Persistent questions from voters and a petition with 5,000 signatures have convinced the Lycoming County Commissioners in Pennsylvania to recount its 2020 election results. Around the state, loosely organized groups of voters have been asking various counties for recounts from 2020. “In our county, they approached our commissioners and leveled allegations that there were thousands of uncounted votes in our county based on what I believe are nonsense statistics,” Lycoming County Director of Elections Forrest Lehman told The Epoch Times. Groups of 20-80 people started attending county meetings asking for the recount. The county showed various information to answer their...

MIAMI — President Trump told the conservatives currently withholding support from House leader Kevin McCarthy to stand down in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News. “I like him,” Trump said of McCarthy, before teeing off on those working against him including Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs, Matt Rosendale, Bob Good, and Ralph Norman. Trump warned that there could be serious consequences if McCarthy does not get the gavel and it would make Washington worse for conservatives. “I think it’s a very dangerous game that’s being played,” Trump said. “It’s a very dangerous game. Some bad things could happen. Look, we...

This is getting some attention today but the actual incident happened back on October 26. That’s when a transgender student entered a girls bathroom at Edmond Memorial High School in Edmond, Oklahoma and got into a fight with two female classmates. Police were called and the information on the case comes from a police report.The attending officer noted the female victim had “several red areas” on her face, and that both of her eyes were beginning to swell.

Alternate headline: 36% of Americans aren’t on Twitter. Actually, given how small a percentage of Americans actually are on Twitter, this result from the latest Harvard-Harris/CAPS poll seems very surprising.If you’ve never been on Twitter, that is. Otherwise, welcome to the party, pal:One has to wonder whether those numbers have remained static or in fact are growing with the release of The Twitter Files, this generation’s Pentagon Papers. That analogy grows stronger as it becomes clearer just how much the platform co-opted itself to the bureaucrats in Washington, especially in the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security. Plenty of attention...

(The opinions expressed by contributors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of RedState.com.)DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas needs to be impeached.A simple fact: If we don’t have a border, we don’t have a country. If millions of unvetted illegals with few to no skills pour across our southern border, we will eventually fade from existence as a sovereign nation. Because of ineptitude, policy failures, and outright, bald-faced lying, illegal aliens have accepted the Biden invitation and massed at our southern border. With the additional help of criminal cartels and the Mexican government, people from every third-world nation...

I ask the question in my headline in earnest.Here’s a relative axiom, attributed in various forms to various historical figures: Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself. So, yeah — what are the Democrats thinking? They should count their lucky stars if Donald Trump wins the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination.With multiple polls showing Republican support for a 2024 Trump run collapsing, the former president beleaguered by key midterm losses by candidates he strongly backed, courtroom setbacks, and mindblowing unforced errors — blameable only on Trump — the Democrat Party would be wise to...

The Colts blocked a punt for a touchdown, scored on an interception of quarterback Kirk Cousins and raced out to a huge lead, but it was the Vikings who made history on Saturday. Minnesota completed the biggest comeback in NFL history, rallying from a 33-0 halftime deficit to beat Indianapolis, 39-36, on Greg Joseph’s 40-yard field goal with three seconds remaining in overtime at U.S. Bank Stadium. The wild and improbable victory surpassed the 32-point margin former Bills quarterback and ex-Colts head coach Frank Reich led in a 1993 wild-card playoff game against the Houston Oilers.

In mid-November, while the whole world was focused on the Ukraine crisis, the US midterms or whatever other “big story” the media decided was more important, a truly momentous shift took place in the global financial system. It might seem like a small step on the surface, but it has the potential to bring about a real and possibly irreversible sea change in the way we use money; or better said, the way it uses us. As Reuters reported on the 15th of November, “Global banking giants are starting a 12-week digital dollar pilot with the Federal Reserve Bank of...

A three-judge appellate panel on Friday dismissed a challenge to Connecticut's transgender athlete policy, after a group of biological females said it was unfair that they have to race against biological males who identify as female.In its decision, the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City upheld a lower court judge's dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the policy, brought by four female runners opposed to letting transgender athletes compete in high school sports. According to the judges, the girls lacked standing to sue, calling their claims that they were deprived of wins, state titles and athletic scholarship...

Billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are betting on the New York-based Synchron as the answer to Elon Musk’s Neuralink.Founded by Australian professors Tom Oxley and Nick Opie, the company on Dec. 16 announced it had closed a $110 million Series C funding round involving Bezos Expeditions, Gates Frontier, and ARCH Venture Partners.The Synchron Switch is a “brain-computer interface” that is implanted in the blood vessels at the surface of the motor cortex of the brain via the jugular vein.Once set, the interface will detect and wirelessly transmit information from the brain, allowing severely paralysed individuals to control personal devices...

Elon Musk restored the Twitter accounts of some journalists who were originally suspended after he claimed they disseminated information about his location. Initially, Musk gave the journalists a seven-day suspension. However, after major backlash from the public, he decided to put the decision in Twitter users' hands. The reporters who were suspended were from liberal outlets such as the Washington Post, The New York Times, and CNN. Musk conducted a 24-hour poll on his account asking if the reporters should be reinstated "now" or in "seven days." In a 59% to 41% vote, almost 3.7 million Twitter users decided to...

The report finds that the severity and frequency of such attacks can...

Four countries in the Arab Gulf have intensified their campaigns against homosexuals, or what the states’ leaders refer to as “perverts,” in recent months in what they say is an effort to preserve customs, traditions, and religious and societal values. Kuwait has announced the deportation of at least 3,000 massage parlor employees, most of them of Filipino nationality, who allegedly offer sexual services to male clients. Sheikh Talal Khalid Al-Sabah, first deputy prime minister and interior minister, issued strict instructions regarding “the need to clean the country of homosexuals who imitate women” by launching wide campaigns in all governorates, “because...

This isn’t the first time PJ Media has reported on the sad fates of the human beings trafficked into our country by cynical globalist-socialists, and it won’t be the last. Still, it’s particularly disheartening when minor children, placed in peril by the Biden administration’s extralegal immigration and national transformation machine, are taken advantage of. To its credit, Reuters has been conducting real journalistic investigations into the growing problem of illegal child labor at U.S. factories. The news outlet conducted hundreds of interviews and documented several cases of third-world labor abuse. On Friday, Reuters reported on underage illegal aliens staffing auto...

Republicans are currently making noises about investigating the Democrats’ illegal and unprincipled acts. There are many targets, and it’s to be hoped that Republicans make good on their promises to expose Democrat wrongdoing. On January 3, when the 118th Congress convenes, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky) will take the House Oversight and Reform Committee chair. To that end, The Wall Street Journal published Comer’s promise to investigate the past two years of Democrat scandals resulting from “unchecked one-party rule.” In plain English, congressional Democrats placed partisan aggrandizement above the national interest. Rep. Comer’s op-ed piece was titled “Get Ready for Republican...
