RFK Jr. may be running for president — but it’s one of his potential rivals, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose wife is being touted as the new queen of Camelot. Casey DeSantis, the one-time Jacksonville TV anchor and breast cancer survivor who married DeSantis in 2009, invoked comparisons to Jackie Kennedy Onassis on the couple’s trip to Japan this week. “Casey DeSantis the “Queen of Camelot 2.0.” read one of numerous tweets about Florida’s 42-year-old first lady, who insiders say has upped her fashion game and political savvy since her husband first took office — and as he is widely...

In an interview with Maria Bartiromo House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said there were at least six decisions made by Biden as VP and President that appear to have been made as a consequence of influence peddling. Comer was not specific but it's not difficult to figure out what most of them are. The Biden family has been paid millions of dollars by China via a labyrinth of LLCs formed for the purpose of money laundering. So far twelve Biden family members have been the recipients of foreign cash. “There are six specific decisions that Joe Biden made either...

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called for a cease-fire Tuesday in the Russian war with Ukraine. DeSantis claimed that the situation in Ukraine could get far bloodier if an agreement to end the violence between both sides is not met. “You don’t want to end up in like a [Battle of] Verdun situation, where you just have mass casualties, mass expense and end up with a stalemate,” DeSantis said in an interview with Nikkei Asia. “It’s in everybody’s interest to try to get to a place where we can have a cease-fire.” The Battle of Verdun was the longest battle...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky isn’t the only one demanding more military assistance from President Biden to protect Kiev from Russian forces. So too is a close Delaware friend and financial backer of Biden, who owns several luxury car dealerships around the Ukrainian capital. By sending billions of dollars in weapons and other military aid to help defend Ukraine, Biden also is securing the investments of millionaire car magnate John Hynansky, a Ukrainian American and longtime supporter of the president. Over the course of Biden’s political career, Hynansky and his family have contributed more than $100,000 to his campaigns, including $8,000...

BYRDSTOWN, Tenn. (WZTV) — After an eaglet was seen entangled in a fishing line at a reservoir on the Kentucky-Tennessee line, rescue is on the way. The Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) was made aware of the eaglets in distress Saturday by FOX 17 News, and multiple agencies have planned an intervention. Due to federal laws preventing disturbance of eaglets in their nest, any attempt to help the eaglets must have federal permitting to occur, which a TWRA spokesperson confirmed has happened. A professional tree climber and arborist will now work to remove the fishing line and evaluate...

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts told Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D) on Tuesday that he will not testify before the committee. What is the background? After ProPublica raised new allegations of impropriety against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Durbin wrote Roberts requesting he come to a committee hearing on Supreme Court ethics reform. The letter claimed there is a "crisis of public confidence" in the judiciary and warned the "status quo is no longer tenable." "The time has come for a new public conversation on ways to restore confidence in the Court’s ethical standards," Durbin wrote. How...

The Department of Veterans Affairs is warning that a Republican proposal to cap government spending could slash medical services for veterans and slow benefits payments. The statement outlining potential consequences of funding cuts was released by the department Friday as the messaging battle heats up ahead of an expected vote in the House this week on a GOP plan to raise the amount of money the nation can borrow to pay its bills in exchange for steep spending cuts.

When Ronald Reagan ran for a second term in 1984, he was 73 years old—and, at that time, the oldest presidential candidate in U.S. history. Biden eclipsed that record in 2020, turning 78 just two weeks after the general election. And now he's done it again with the announcement of his bid for a second term. Already the oldest president in U.S. history, Biden would, if reelected, be 82 on Inauguration Day and 86 by the time he leaves office. While Biden's age will no doubt be a factor in the 2024 presidential campaign, history demonstrates that older presidents like...

Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit decided Hardin v. BATF, concluding that a bump stock is not a machine gun "part" prohibited under federal law. Judge Gilman wrote for the court, joined by Judge McKeague. Judge Bush concurred in the judgment. Here's how Judge Gilman summarizes the court's conclusions: "The placement of a bump stock on a semiautomatic rifle causes the rifle to function essentially like a machinegun by dramatically increasing the rate of fire. And the possession of a machinegun is a criminal offense under the Gun Control Act of 1968. This raises the question...

Bud Light pours plummeted in the first half of April at thousands of bars and restaurants, according to BeerBoard, a tech company that helps barrooms nationwide monitor their beer flows. Why it matters: Conservative groups and country music stars have called for a boycott of the light lager since Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender advocate and TikTok star, announced on April 1 that Bud Light had sent her personalized cans to celebrate her one-year anniversary living as a trans woman. The initial data from BeerBoard — which counts Buffalo Wild Wings, TGI Fridays and Hooters as customers — is just a...

I love Steve Inman, who takes video clips and adds his commentary to them. Inman is hilarious. He can be found on Twitter and on RumbleIn this clip Inman takes on Antifa. Antifa are a bunch of cowardly soy boy wankers. That much you know. They gang up and attempt to intimidate people, using fascist tactics while accusing other of being fascists. Although the video with the commentary is funny, I realized after a bit that this was the perfect instructional video to demonstrate the tactics of the Antifa wimps.
