The Biden administration is looking at expanding how it monitors social media sites and chatrooms after U.S. intelligence agencies failed to spot classified Pentagon documents circulating online for weeks, according to a senior administration official and a congressional official briefed on the matter. The possible change in the intelligence-gathering process is just one potential shift as officials scramble to determine not only how the documents leaked but also how to prevent another damaging incident. President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin were briefed about the disclosure last week, administration officials say, but the secret documents appeared online in early...

Bud Light is back-peddling on their decision to partner with transgender media personality Dylan Mulvaney. Anheuser Busch’s decision to promote the trans influencer has been faced with severe backlash. Reports are now surfacing that “no one at the senior level” gave the green light for their new marketing campaign.According to two sources familiar with the matter, The Daily Wire reported that the decision to feature Mulvaney in an advertising campaign aimed at younger customers was not authorized by any high-ranking executives in the company. “No one at a senior level was aware this was happening,” one anonymous source said. “Some...

Alex Jones breaks down the clips of global leaders awakening to the Deep State coup AI takeover as they attempt to warn others.

Just a terrifying thought that I have been having is the final tool that they will use to neutralize Trump is that like 30 days before election they will suddenly acknowledge that Trump is the real sitting president, and the voting fraud was real. They will shrug and go oh well all the while pointing to the constitution saying that Trump is not eligible for a third term. They get to kill 4 birds with one stone by eliminating Biden and whoever his running mate is and take out Trump and his running mate and the real puppets are in...

“During the - 2016 - election season, the Trump campaign ran an ad implying Soros was part of an anti-American global conspiracy” ... "The petition garnered - 292,464 - signatures, clearing the 100,000 signature threshhold needed to initiate an official response from President Trump." ... “It is almost certain that the Trump administration will not agree to the petition’s request” 2017 petition/declare-george-soros-terrorist sign-petition-calling-george-soros-a-terrorist"President Donald Trump on Sunday - May 31st, 2020 - tweeted that the U.S. would label the far-left movement a terrorist group despite what appears to be a lack of clear legal authority." This never happened either. 2017...

The Big Apple’s early summer weather is heating up the history books. New York peaked at 90 degrees in Central Park Thursday — shattering a heat record set in the 1970s with weather rarely seen in spring, meteorologists said. Temperatures climbed higher than the previous record for the day — set in 1977 at 88 degrees — as New Yorkers busted out sunscreen and suffered through sweltering outdoor jobs.

[Catholic Caucus] Warning to Traditional Orders, Parishes, and Traditional-minded dioceses: don’t answer this e-mailThere’s a bizarre e-mail being sent to Traditional communities and Tradition-friendly dioceses, coming from a supposed Italian doctoral student or professor in a semi-abandoned Pontifical Theological Institute in Italy, and asking all kinds of curious details about liturgical practices and a long list of similar questions, supposedly for “research” purposes. We have seen the e-mail messages. Our sources believe this is a trap: some in Rome want to gather “evidence” of “disobedience” and manufacture disinformation to set the basis for even more illegitimate restrictions on the Traditional...

Two of country music’s biggest stars ratcheted up the brew-haha over Bud Light’s controversial ad campaign featuring transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Grammy-nominated crooner Zach Bryan hit out at comments that are “insulting” to transgender people after Travis Tritt announced he was boycotting the Anheuser-Busch product to protest the Mulvaney-Bud Light partnership. “I mean no disrespect towards anyone specifically, I don’t even mind @travistritt,” Bryan tweeted on Saturday. “I just think insulting transgender people is completely wrong because we live in a country where we can all just be who we want to be It’s a great day to...

My family keeps me in a phone and they pay thebill. They asked me to go to AT&T to get a new sim cardfor my phone because they are letting go of verizon. Apparently, Verizon was charging them for 5g service but only delivering 4g. Ay my house, in the middle of a large city, I was lucky to have 2 bars of service. Now, I have 5 bars AND 5g. If any of you are paying for 5g but aren't receiving it, you might want to take action. That's why I'm posting this.

SNIP Brancato portrayed Robert De Niro’s son, Calogero, in the coming-of-age classic, then won a role as a minor mobster in “The Sopranos.” But in 2005, Brancato’s life infamously spun out of control: hopelessly addicted to crack and heroin, he burgled a friend’s house with an accomplice when a hero off-duty cop who confronted them was shot dead. The actor was acquitted of murder but served eight years for the botched heist. Now he has found a third act: inspiring others to stay clean and steer clear of crime, through both an Instagram account with 95,000 followers, and working at...

Al Sharpton took a shot at progressives at a conference hosted by his National Action Network on Thursday, saying he’s now in lockstep with Mayor Eric Adams on fighting big city crime. “Anybody that tells you they’re progressive but don’t care about dealing with violent crimes are not,” Sharpton said at the Sheraton New York hotel in Times Square. “Progressive for who? “We gotta stop using progressive as a noun and use it as an adjective,” he said. “You’re labeled progressive but your action is regressive. I’m woke? You must think I’m asleep.” He said he’s on board with Adams...

Former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who halted the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the abortion drug mifepristone, was an “angry, cruel man.” Boxer said, “I want to point out that this judge, who did this, this angry, cruel man, that’s what I think, toward women. I mean, he is a danger to women. He didn’t get one democratic vote. It says to me the one thing I hope comes out of this, besides Senator Feinstein taking a hard look at the situation as it really is, is...

WASHINGTON – Before the FBI announced it had arrested the suspected leaker of dozens of highly sensitive Ukraine war documents – some of which were created to brief the highest levels of the Pentagon – few would have suspected a 21-year-old National Guardsman as the potential culprit. The FBI nabbed Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira at his mother’s home Thursday after he was implicated in the biggest national security breach in at least 10 years.

Kari Lake’s message to Ron DeSantis: “if he’s running, the people should know about it, and I don’t think they’re gonna be happy that they’re paying for the shadow campaign.”“It says a lot about a man’s character when they stab somebody in the back, especially somebody who helped make them. He was about to lose to a meth-addict pervert when a man by the name of Donald Trump came in and saved the day.”“Who’s the priority? Are the people of Florida the priority?

Rainbow-colored pamphlets advising “bring your authentic self” have lately appeared over cubicles at Goldman Sachs, coaching employees on the proper use of gender pronouns — and some bankers are reeling over the hypocrisy. The pamphlet advises in addition to “she/her/hers/herself,” “he/him/his/himself” and the gender-neutral “they/them/their/themself” that another set of gender neutral pronouns is “ze/zir (zem) / zirs (zes) / zirself (zemself).” Examples in a column to the right: “Ze went to the store. I spoke with zir / zem. The apple was zirs / zes.”
