Jen “Circle Back” Psaki was lit up online for her inaugural MSNBC show on Sunday after ironically slamming a conservative author for not offering a clear and concise answer for what “woke” means during a recent interview. Psaki, of all people, should know that some issues are complex. When someone is in the position of communicating a message and has a human moment, the result can be less than ideal. President Joe Biden’s first press secretary got countless passes for being awful at her job and failing to provide coherent answers to reporters’ questions. Still, she offered conservative author Bethany...

But I don’t share the conventional wisdom that the U.S. invasion, which began 20 years ago this week, was a colossal failure. ... My brother’s murder led me to start fighting against al-Qaeda in West Baghdad—as much as a 15-year-old could. Sunnis, in close conjunction with U.S. forces, had organized a small army called Awakening Forces, and a friend recruited me. They gave me a cell phone, which I used to send coordinates of al-Qaeda forces to our commanders. I was part of a larger operation to rout al-Qaeda from the city. We succeeded. ... This is why, despite everything,...

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley says the impending indictment of former President Donald Trump is about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg exacting political “revenge” and not about justice. Mrs. Haley, a 2024 candidate for president, weighed in on the hush-payment case being pursued by New York prosecutors as the emerging GOP field faces pressure from Mr. Trump and his supporters to take sides in the matter. “Everything I have seen from this New York district attorney is that this would be something he’d be doing for political points, and I think what we know is, when you get into...

Former President Donald Trump is not expected to be arraigned until next week if he’s indicted over an alleged hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, according to a report. A law enforcement source told Fox News on Monday that the Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence against the 76-year-old former president has another witness slated to testify on Wednesday and that Trump’s arraignment, if he were to be indicted in the case, would not be expected until next week. It is unclear who will be testifying on Wednesday. Trump declared in a post on his Truth Social account over the...

It’s not always sunny in Philadelphia. The Philly Fed non-manufacturing sentiment index just tanked to -12.8 as The Federal Reserve removes its Covid-related stimulus. The banking fiasco (SVB, Signature, etc.) has caused The Fed’s balance sheet to expand … again. And Fed Funds Futures are pricing in a meager 20 basis points increase at tomorrow’s FOMC meeting (some betting on no change, some betting on 25 basis points). Then another rate hike at the May FOMC meeting, then all downhill from there. Call this the Powell retreat.

The media began running articles with headlines like, “Red States Have Higher Murder Rates” and “Republicans Like to Talk Tough on Crime — But They’re the Ones with a Real Crime Problem”.New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who once claimed that the internet would have no more of an...

The governor of New York has gone back to court seeking permission to detain citizens of her state in quarantine camps – without notice, without rights and for as long as some state-chosen health officials say is needed. The fight arose during COVID-19, when state officials decided they would adopt a new rule giving the state exactly that power. A lawsuit ensued, and the result was that the detention plan was ruled unconstitutional. Gov. Kathy Hochul, through Attorney General Letitia James, now has appealed the court's rejection of her "Isolation and Quarantine Procedures" scheme, according to a report from lawyer...

Someone wants the Bible removed from libraries in the Davis School District. On Dec. 11, 2022, a challenge was filed with district officials asking that the Bible be pulled from the shelves of the district’s schools. The school district doesn’t reveal who challenges books, nor does it ask why. A random check of school districts revealed that they, too, have an array of religious texts in their school libraries such as the Bible, Quran, Torah, the Book of Mormon and the Hindu text Bhagavad Gita, but none reported they had been challenged. Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley said the...

Teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) went on a three-day strike Tuesday as negotiations fell apart and the district’s two unions walked off the job, leaving families in the lurch. Working parents scrambled to find child care options and alternate activities during the midweek strike. The first day of the strike happened to coincide with the start of yet another storm, limiting outdoor possibilities. As Breitbart News reported last week, the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) is striking in solidarity with Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 99, the union that is at the heart of the...

A Delaware judge on Tuesday will hear arguments from Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems on why each side thinks it should be declared the victor in their closely watched defamation case before the dispute goes to trial next month. Dominion sued Fox News for defamation in 2021, seeking $1.6 billion in damages on allegations that the network endorsed false claims that the voting-machine company helped rig the presidential election against former President Donald Trump. Fox News says it was reporting on newsworthy allegations made by the president’s supporters. Superior Court Judge Eric Davis has received competing legal motions from...

VIDEOWe have now entered the era of the Banana Republic in the United States of America. An era of incredibly SELECTIVE targeted justice. Yes, a possible bookkeeping misdemeanor from seven years past that is ordinarily never prosecuted can be resurrected in order to indict by a corrupt DA a former president and current LEADING candidate for president while the current president is neck deep in corruption with his drug addicted son acting as the go-between for payoffs. 10 for the "Big Guy."

Are some war crimes greater than others?The Russian leader has been charged with personal responsibility for the abduction of Ukrainian children to the Russian Federation. International law experts consider the most recent arrest warrant against Putin to be the most dramatic decision since the tribunal was founded in 2002. In the past, arrest warrants have been...

Following the arrest of an Arab in the coastal city of Netanya who was found with a knife in his possession, it has emerged that a potentially serious terrorist attack was averted by a miracle, with no one injured. Last week, Netanya's special anti-crime police unit began the interrogation of the Arab, who was apprehended after local police received reports of a suspicious individual roaming a central promenade in the city armed with a knife and apparently attempting to stab passers-by. Police were quickly dispatched to the location where they detained the Arab, a man in his twenties from Samaria,...
