One thing about President Donald Trump is that as much as he railed against fake news, the man took questions from the press all the time. He was always in the briefing room. He took questions while waiting to board Marine One. The man was not one to shy away from the press. President Biden, on the other hand … we have a library of photos of him walking away from the podium ignoring reporters’ shouted questions. We have video of him just sitting like a lump ignoring questions from reporters. We suppose he thinks he can get away with...

Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson says the Chinese-American financial institution Cathay Bank has given Senate Republicans records showing millions of dollars going from Chinese companies to President Biden's son Hunter Biden. Republicans and others started raising concerns during President Biden's successful 2020 White House campaign, if not earlier, that Hunter Biden used the family name and influence while his father was vice president to make millions in overseas business deals, which also could have compromised U.S. national security. Johnson told The Washington Times the records show the Biden family involved with the now-defunct CEFC China Energy, which had connections to...

Another day, another leak. Special Counsel Jack Smith is now investigating Trump’s effort to raise money off of ‘false claims of election fraud,’ according to a leak to the Washington Post. Federal prosecutors are investigating money raised between November 3, 2020 and January 20, 2021.

In a slap to Muslim girls, Stuyvesant HS is canceling single-sex swim lessons, even though swim instruction is required to graduate. That forces the girls to choose between preserving their modesty and getting a diploma. Count on Muslim families to fight back — and likely prevail. Nationwide, Muslims are taking up the battle in schools to protect traditional religious values, including modesty. Move over, Roman Catholics, evangelical Christians and conservative Jews. Reinforcements have arrived, and they’re turning the tide. Even in the Ivy League. After weeks of protests by female Muslim students, Yale University is switching its campus-housing policy for...

Rather than denounce the attacks and apparent extortion efforts by the mob of LGBT extremists, the university ultimately celebrated those responsible. An SFSU student association has since gone one step further, accusing the esteemed, All-American athlete of spreading violence and hatred, calling for university administrators to "hold themselves accountable." -snip Victim blaming Karina Zamora, president of the Associated Students of SFSU, a nonprofit student organization at the university, issued a statement Monday, accusing Turning Point USA and Riley Gaines of spreading "hateful rhetoric" and promoting violence. Zamora, who serves also as a pronoun-providing PAC co-chair with the San Francisco Young...

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ political operation has started calling Republican members of the Florida congressional delegation to consolidate support after four members publicly backed Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential bid. Sources with four of the six members contacted by DeSantis' team shared the outreach with NBC News; each requested anonymity to confirm the calls. As Trump continues to lead in the polls for the GOP presidential nomination, DeSantis is trying to stop defections in his own backyard ahead of his expected run. DeSantis has no endorsements from the state delegation. The efforts started after Trump picked up the backing of...

Earlier this week we found out that Biden was in on the unprecedented, unnecessary and unlawful raid on President Trump’s iconic home Mar-a-Lago. Now we know that Biden was totally behind the raid because he had to remove President Trump’s executive privilege so the raid could occur. Only Biden could do that. Right after the illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago, Attorney Mike Davis went on FOX News. He pointed out that the raid was unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful. President Trump had the Presidential Records Act that allowed him to take whatever documents he wanted, classified or not, with him to Mar-a-Lago...

A transgender activist made an argument for all children to be put on puberty blockers until they can make an informed decision on their gender. “If children can't consent to puberty blockers which pause any permanent changes even with the relevant professional evaluation, how can they consent to the permanent and irreversible changes that come with their own puberty with no professional evaluation whatsoever?” YouTuber Zinnia Jones, also known as Lauren McNamara, tweeted this month.

Top law enforcement officials from Riverside County, as well as the district attorney from a nearby county, held a press conference Wednesday where they leveled strong criticism against the perceived revolving door of justice in the state. Pointing to a rise in crime, officials said offenders are released from jail too frequently. In the city of Riverside alone, police said commercial burglaries are up 31% compared to this time last year. Hestrin and Bianco said current laws are enabling habitual offenders. Under AB 109, which went into effect in 2011, individuals convicted of crimes that would previously have sent them...

The more state-run media call Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a crackpot and a lunatic and an “anti-vaccine quack,” the more I’m thinking I like this guy. Bobby Jr. is coming to Boston next week to formally announce his candidacy for the 2024 Democrat nomination for president. At age 69, he’s the youngster on the Democrat side, after incumbent president Dementia Joe Biden (80) and spiritual nut Marianne Williamson (71 in July). It tells you something about modern politics that for most of his dissipated life, despite the most appalling sorts of behavior – hard drugs, booze, philandering to the max...

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called out Canada's Prairie premiers on Wednesday for "trying to elevate fears that have absolutely no grounding in truth" over what the federal government's intentions are around provincial resource rights. He also accused them of not taking the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) seriously. The prime minister's remarks come on the heels of Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, and Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson issuing a joint statement on Tuesday calling on Trudeau to set the record straight about whether the federal government was "considering stripping resource rights away...

Rep. Matt Gaetz said this week that he wonders if the recent spate of mass shootings, such as at a Nashville school last month and at a Louisville bank on Monday are results from the work of Big Pharma. Speaking on Monday on his podcast “Firebrand,” the Fort Walton Beach Republican suggested that easy access to mind-altering drugs are making both society more dangerous and drugmakers more wealthy.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars that the US allocated for the purchase of fuel, according to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh. In his blog, Hersh writes – The Ukraine government, headed by Volodymyr Zelensky, has been using American taxpayers’ funds to pay dearly for the vitally needed diesel fuel that is keeping the Ukrainian army on the move in its war with Russia. It is unknown how much the Zalensky government is paying per gallon for the fuel, but the Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline from a port...

t was not one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s most prominent roles, but is proving to be disproportionately controversial. The Hollywood star and former California governor filmed himself filling in a troublesome pothole near his Los Angeles home, proffering it as an act of civic responsibility by an exasperated resident. But he was then told by the authorities it wasn’t officially a pothole at all. According to city officials, the “giant pothole” Schwarzenegger and a friend packed with quick-drying cement and topped with sand was actually an essential service trench for work being performed by a utility company in the Brentwood neighborhood....

Jim Crow Democratic Senators on the Judiciary Committee, led by Senator Dick Durbin, are out for the scalp of uppity black Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Seething for decades about the uppity black getting a Supreme Court Justice position, Senator Durbin launched his attack on the justice after consulting with failed Supreme Court Justice nominee AG Meritless Garland. Garland noted that his FBI maintains a lot of files on uppity blacks following the precedent of the late J Edgar Hoover, which could contain some actionable material. Garland noted that uppity black Thomas took a lot of plush expensive vacations with...
