The Manhattan grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump over a payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels will hear from an additional witness on Monday, attorney and longtime Trump ally Bob Costello, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Before We Storm The Gallows… By J. Johnson Despite years of attacks he's leading in the polls. Then they said he can get back on YouTube. Then he's allowed back on Facebook. And oh, by the way, we’ll be arresting him Tuesday. As many may prepare for "The Great Protest”, forgive my head scratching for thinking something is very wrong with this picture. As expected, many are warning would-be protesters to be aware not to get caught into a trap, but from a wider viewpoint it may appear that a trap has already been sprung. So we are called to...

An Upper West Side supermarket is using facial recognition technology to bust thieves as a wave of shoplifting slams the city — but some customers say it’s an invasion of privacy akin to “Big Brother.” Fairway on Broadway and West 74th Street is collecting customers’ personal information — such as eye scans and voice prints — in an effort to stop the scourge of shoplifters wreaking havoc on the market, according to the firm. “This technology is helping our stores reduce retail crime, an industry-wide challenge that has increased dramatically over the last few years,” the firm said in a...

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has updated its mission statement with a new statement that does not include gendered language. According to a VA press release, the prior mission statement read, "To fulfill President Lincoln’s promise 'to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan' by serving and honoring the men and women who are America’s veterans." The new statement drops the gender-specific terminology and no longer includes the Lincoln quote, though it still references the sixteenth president. The text of the new statement reads, "To fulfill President Lincoln's promise to...

Most people don’t notice when they are given counterfeit money and then pass it on. After all, who really takes the trouble to check whether the money he has been given is genuine? However, anyone who passes counterfeit money risks being imprisoned. So we have to know how to recognize counterfeit money, as it will always appear deceptively real. This is also the creed of the “False Prophet,” who is mentioned three times in the Book of Revelation (16:13; 19:20; 20:10). Many people treat the prophetic word in the same careless way in which they take and then pass on...

Appearing this morning on MSNBC's Velshi show, Leonnig said she felt compelled to call out Trump's "misinformation" in Trump's Truth Social post calling on supporters, in the context of his possibly imminent arrest, to "Protest. Take back our nation." LEONNIG: It's not a violent crime he's charged with. And that means that he would be given negotiated terms under which to voluntarily turn himself in. Nobody is coming for him with cuffs. You know, he has the opportunity to come in a back elevator, backstairs, no perp walk, if he chooses. And instead, Donald Trump is really choosing to use...

Confidential documents reveal that within months of receiving the initial doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, some individuals are developing Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) and Vaccine-Associated Enhanced Disease (VAED). And as if that weren’t alarming enough, official documents also prove that a mysterious form of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is also appearing in a disturbing number of recipients just five months after their initial injections. This may explain why, tragically, official Government records confirm that millions of people have mysteriously died suddenly in countries around the globe, including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Europe, in the wake of the...

President Joe Biden’s Department of Education plans to enact new rule changes to civil rights law this May that would end free speech as Americans have known it. The changes would inject gender ideology straight into the heart of Title IX of the Civil Rights Act by erasing the Supreme Court’s long-standing distinction between protected speech and punishable conduct.——- break ——- The Biden administration is purposefully muddying the waters between mere speech and harassing conduct specifically to force the use of pronouns and gender-affirming language. Under the proposed rule, students and faculty can violate Title IX simply for refusing to...

Story at a glance: The antiviral drug remdesivir, brand name Veklury, is approved for use against COVID-19 despite research showing it lacks effectiveness and can cause high rates of organ failure. John Beaudoin is calling for a criminal investigation into remdesivir, citing data that it may have killed 100,000 people in the U.S. Beaudoin received all the death certificates in Massachusetts from 2015 to 2022, finding 1,840 excess deaths from acute renal failure from Jan. 1, 2021, to Nov. 30, 2022, which he believes may be due to remdesivir. A study published in The Lancet found “no clinical benefit” from...

Dr. Anthony Fauci is back. And he’s warning Americans that Covid boosters will likely be ‘required’ for the foreseeable future. “Yeah, well, that — that leads to the question, Joe, and we’d like the answer from you, Dr. Fauci who you’re the pride of Holy Cross college,” ex-Boston Globe writer Mike Barnicle said. “And I don’t believe you were in medical school with Ted Cruz or Jim Jordan, but how many booster shots do you think we will be getting, there’s one available now, but how long in the future will we be getting booster shots?” he snidely added. “You...

Explanation: To see the feathered serpent descend the Mayan pyramid requires exquisite timing. You must visit El Castillo -- in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula -- near an equinox. Then, during the late afternoon if the sky is clear, the pyramid's own shadows create triangles that merge into the famous illusion of a slithering viper. Also known as the Temple of Kukulkan, the impressive step-pyramid stands 30 meters tall and 55 meters wide at the base. Built up as a series of square terraces by the pre-Columbian civilization between the 9th and 12th century, the structure can be used as a calendar...

I think that it would be fair to assume that Bill Gates is a Democrat. There is nothing that hints to me in any way that he would lean toward conservative policies other than those that add money to his pockets. Here’s the list of Congressional Republicans whom Bill Gates donated money during the 2022 election season: Rep. Vernon Buchanan – Florida, District 16 Rep. Dan Crenshaw – Texas, District 2 Rep. Elise Stefanik – New York, District 21 Rep. Chuck Fleishmann, Tennessee, District 3 Rep. Mike Simpson, Idaho, District 2 Rep. Garrett Graves, Louisiana, District 6 Rep. Cathy Rodgers,...

On Mar. 8, 2023, LifeSiteNews posted an article by Tom Parker that said, “The World Health Organization (WHO) is marching forward with its plans to make amendments to the International Health Regulations.” Parker said, “Some politicians have opposed the proposed amendments to the IHR, but this opposition has yet to prevent the WHO from moving forward.” He added that, as of now, WHO member nations have proposed 307 amendments to the IHR (307 proposed amendments could result in a lot of global laws). According to Parker, these proposed amendments will: Authorize the WHO Director-General to declare new types of health...

Trump was up an average of 55% to 26% over DeSantis among Republican (and Republican leaning independent) voters of color in an average of the two polls. Among White Republican voters, the race was well within the margin of error: Trump’s 38% to DeSantis’ 37%. Trump’s base is made up of Republicans whose households pull in less than $50,000 a year. He led this group of voters by 22 points over DeSantis in our CNN poll. He trailed DeSantis by 13 points among those GOP voters making at least $50,000 a year. This is a 35 point swing between these...

The NYPD and US Secret Service are huddling to prep for Donald Trump’s possible indictment in Manhattan after the former president said he expected to be arrested Tuesday and called on his supporters to protest, law enforcement sources told The Post. The FBI, state court officers and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office have also been kept in the loop on security discussions, with the Big Apple bracing for the worst after Trump, 76, urged his followers to “take our nation back” in light of his looming indictment, the sources said. “We will use all of our available resources,” one...

Russia does not use hypersonic weapons in fact now, though it has them, same as other cutting-edge systems, President Vladimir Putin said in an interview for the "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" program on Rossiya-1 TV channel published by journalist Pavel Zarubin on his Telegram channel on Sunday.

"And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him." "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of...

Twitter owner Elon Musk has issued a warning to journalists contacting the company's press department, via the platform. Each response, quite simply, will include an automated poop emoji. On Sunday morning, Musk tweeted out: "press@twitter.com now auto responds with 💩" As of midday Sunday, Musk has yet to expand on his poop-related tweet.

A heartless home health aide and her family allegedly commandeered a patient’s Upper East Side apartment, refusing to let her daughter in after the 103-year-old woman’s death — and cruelly threatening to flush the old lady’s ashes down the toilet if she tried, according to court records. Incredibly, the alleged squatters claim they have “succession rights” to the East 86th Street pad because they were like “family” to the dying woman, according to court papers. Tatiana Abello, her mother, and sister have been living in the $ 2,088-a-month, two-bedroom, rent-stabilized pad for 18 months and counting since their elderly charge,...
