Ranking member of the House Oversight Committee Jamie Raskin (D-MD) threw a “tantrum” on Thursday because he has not received a copy of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop after House Democrats were in the majority for two years. Even though Democrats refused to admit the emails on the laptop were authentic for over a year after initially reported in October of 2020, Raskin is now scolding his colleague Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of the Oversight Committee, for not providing a copy to him. “Rather than provide the Minority with equal access to this drive, you have directed us to obtain...

Climate change is making major league sluggers into even hotter hitters, sending an extra 50 or so home runs a year over the fences, a new study found. Hotter, thinner air that allows balls to fly farther contributed a tiny bit to a surge in home runs since 2010, according to a statistical analysis by Dartmouth College scientists published in Friday’s Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. They analyzed 100,000 major league games and more than 200,000 balls put into play in the last few years along with weather conditions, stadiums and other factors. “Global warming is juicing home runs...

In Highland Park, the errant orders were mostly met with bemusement, as The Times previously reported. But in Westwood Hills, an affluent neighborhood nestled between the UCLA campus and 405 Freeway, the free McNuggets were hardly just free McNuggets. As deliveries from McDonald's, Starbucks and other restaurants piled up on people's doorsteps in late January, Terry Tegnazian, a member of the board of the Westwood Hills Property Owners Association, began hearing from worried neighbors, including one man who thought there could be "something nefarious and criminal going on." The resident, Tegnazian said, wondered whether the orders, which were paid for...

Hey Bartender! Joe Biden loves to brag about “his” great economic successes, particulary in jobs added. But the jobs added in March were not in higher-paying factory jobs, but Biden’s building from the bottom-up approach is mostly low-paying leisure and hospitality jobs. And here is the rub on wages. Average hourly earnings growth fell to 4.2% YoY, too bad inflation is 6% and expected to rise with the summer. 236k jobs added in March, down from a revised 326k jobs added in February. The unemployment rate fell to 3.5% and labor force participation rose slightly to 62.6%. Construction jobs added...

Donald Trump’s indictment makes one wonder if the members of the Democrat party have ever picked up a history book, walked by one in a library, or accidentally heard an episode of the History of Rome podcast. I doubt it because if they had, they’d know that Rome didn’t transition from a republic to an empire overnight, and they’d be familiar with the modern iteration of the George Santayana adage: Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. By the time Caesar became dictator in 49 BC, the Republic was already gone in everything but name only....

Idaho, Montana and Florida saw the highest population growth among U.S. states between 2020-2022, per new U.S. Census Bureau data, while New York, Illinois and Louisiana suffered the most shrinkage. The big picture: The past few years have been especially turbulent for population trends, with the COVID-19 pandemic affecting birth and death rates, interstate and international migration, and more. By the numbers: Idaho's population grew by nearly 4.9%, while that of Montana and Florida grew by 3.3% and 3.0%, respectively. Utah and South Carolina came in just a hair under 3%. New York,...

Fox News contributor Sara Carter took to the streets of Manhattan to interview New Yorkers about the indictment of former President Trump. Things got tense as protestors accosted Carter as she was conducting the segment for Fox News’ Sean Hannity. VIDEO AT LINK..........................

Victor Davis Hanson joined Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night to react to New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of former President Donald Trump. Hanson characterized it as “the worst example of third-world election tampering” and said, “We are in the middle of a revolution that we don’t even know we’re in.”We’re seeing war clouds gather abroad, and I think the United States’ economy, politically, foreign policy, is at a nadir, and we’ve lost now all credibility that we’ve stored up over 233 [years]. We have no more moral credibility to lecture people about the democratic process.They...

As Twitchy reported earlier, Defense Department spokesman John Kirby appeared in the press briefing room Thursday to play up the Biden administration’s finding that the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster was President Donald Trump’s fault; the only reason it looks like President Joe Biden’s screw-up is that he was “severely constrained by conditions” set by Trump. Biden certainly didn’t feel constrained by any of Trump’s executive orders when he took office, but this he couldn’t do anything about. Kirby did his best Baghdad Bob impression, claiming that “For all this talk of chaos, I just didn’t see it.” He missed the video...

The Biden administration should be ashamed of themselves. That briefing from John Kirby on the Afghanistan withdrawal was an insult to the 13 servicemembers who lost their lives, veterans and those in uniform, and to every single American. On behalf of the administration, he deflected all responsibility, painting Biden as a “helpless” president, while having the audacity to brag about the administration’s “planning.” He claimed “there’s a lot to be proud of” about the withdrawal, and then insisted “for all this talk of ‘chaos,’ I just didn't see it.” He insisted this report is not about “accountability” a full 18...

OCALA, Fla. – The Marion County Sheriff’s Office has made arrests in the case of three teens who were recently found shot to death. Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods will hold a news conference at 9:30 a.m. Friday “regarding breaking news updates and arrests in the recent triple-homicide in Ocklawaha.”

Most cults want to be left alone. The Trans Terrorist Cult wants to get themselves, their mentally ill ideology, and their domestic terrorist activities in front of as many Americans as possible. Unfortunately, it’s working because politicians and law enforcement are absolutely terrified of the cult. Swimmer and pro-woman activist Riley Gaines was assaulted at a TPUSA event at San Francisco State University Thursday night. Videos of the incidents demonstrate just how unhinged and dangerous the Trans Terrorist Cult has become [Language Warning] VIDEO AT LINK.............. As Gaines noted, “The prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU…I was ambushed and...

The trans movement may not be the culmination of the culture war. It probably isn’t. I just lack the imagination to discern what out next stop might be. If we haven’t reached peak madness, we have at least hit bingo on the trans insanity card. Happily ignorant of Dylan Mulvaney — the New York Post has a useful backgrounder here — I now learn that he has secured a deal with Nike as a sports bra model even though he “sports” a male appendage and his “transition” to “womanhood” appears not to have gone beyond the possible sprouting of nipples....

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s flop was merely the unsatisfying appetizer for the feast on Donald Trump that is about to come. The first grand jury indictment against Donald Trump, like so many highly-anticipated gotcha moments involving the former president, landed with a thud this week. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s 34-count bill of goods failed to impress legal and political observers across the spectrum. Even Ruth Marcus, associate editor for the Washington Post, admitted the legal basis for the charges is “unnervingly flimsy at worst.” News coverage of Bragg’s faceplant is quickly disappearing from the front pages as all...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMark 15 Jesus Before Pilate15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.2 “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate.“You have said so,” Jesus replied.3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.6 Now it...

Gov. Ron DeSantis this week signed legislation into law that makes Florida the 26th state to allow Americans to carry firearms on their person for self-defense without a permit as one of the fastest moving affirmations of the Second Amendment continues to sweep the country. All eyes are now turning to Nebraska and South Carolina, two states expected to take up such legislation in coming months. Gun rights activists say the summer 2020 riots and the subsequent rise in violent crime in many blue cities gave a jolt to a constitutional carry movement they long wanted to see gain steam....
