Newly emerged emails have exposed the disturbing anti-Trump agenda behind the now-infamous letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials that stated reports on Hunter Biden’s laptop were “Russian disinformation.” According to an email exchange between former CIA Acting Director Michael Morell and former CIA Director John Brennan, top intel officials wanted to cast doubt on the story to help Democrat President Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Morell, the coauthor of the infamous statement, recruited influential figures in the intelligence community to sign the letter to give then-candidate Joe Biden a “talking point” during his debate with President Donald Trump,...

Their weaponized DOJ is going to try to take him out, according to Jack Posobiec, and now Republican challengers are telling donors it’s time to hop on their bandwagon.

WASHINGTON — Multiple tips to diplomats and law enforcement that might explain a whistleblower claim describing President Biden taking bribes have emerged — as the White House said Thursday it had “nothing” to say about the matter. House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued a subpoena Wednesday requiring the FBI to hand over an informant report that describes “an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.” “I’m gonna have to refer you to the Justice Department on that,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told The...

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) is stonewalling a judge’s subpoena of internal documents related to how the medical organization came up with its guidelines for gender confused minors. WPATH, a leading advocate for child sex changes, was subpoenaed in March by a federal judge in Alabama after the organization’s guidelines were repeatedly referenced to argue against the state’s restrictions on sex changes for minors during a lawsuit. WPATH has attempted to quash the subpoena, which a judge denied in March. The court case challenges Alabama’s law banning sex changes for individuals under 19. While WPATH argued it...

(Last Updated On: May 3, 2023) NATIONAL HOAGIE DAY It may go by many names, but on May 5th, National Hoagie Day celebrates a hero of a sandwich! #NationalHoagieDay Besides a hero, the hoagie goes by several other aliases. The sub, grinder, Italian, torpedo, or baguette are just a few of its many names. Some of those names give a hint as to how we make a hoagie, too. We cut a long Italian roll or French bread lengthwise and fill it with various meats, cheeses, vegetables, seasonings, and sauces. Pile it high with your own combination of fillings and...

In March, Audrey Hale shocked the nation by opening fire at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. The police soon acknowledged that they had a manifesto from Hale on why she took this inexplicable and horrific action. We all then waited for the release of the manifesto. We are still waiting. It is not uncommon for there to be a delay in the release of information in a major crime pending investigation. What was weird is that the police quickly confirmed that Hale acted alone and Hale was dead. There is no prosecution that will occur in the case. Yet,...

Young voters played a critical role in delivering Joe Biden to the White House in 2020. But as his reelection campaign kicks off, leading activists are uneasy about vouching for the president and concerned the administration could squander years of momentum In 2020, Biden’s campaign aggressively courted younger, progressive voters as part of a strategy to fire up the grassroots and bridge the divisions that roiled the party in the run-up to Donald Trump’s election in 2016. More than three years later, though, the relationship between the White House and young organizers is at a crossroads. The president and congressional...

DENVER — It was the 554th Friday since his son, Alex, was one of 12 people shot to death in a movie theater 11 miles from here, and state Sen. Tom Sullivan (D) stood in the well of the Colorado Senate, calling again for stricter gun laws. The gallery above was filled with grieving Denver high-schoolers whose classmate had recently been fatally shot. The halls outside were swarming with volunteers in red Moms Demand Action T-shirts, one of whom stopped Sullivan as he exited the chamber to ask: Would he support a state assault weapons ban? Federal, absolutely, he responded....

Today, you’re not allowed to say a bad word about electric cars. They’re planet savers, after all. Environmentalists tell us so. But there will come a day — in the not-too-distant future — when the climate change fanatics will decide that EVs are planet killers, too. We’ve seen this bait-and-switch tactic before. Back in 2007, energy producers pumped money into environmental groups to promote natural gas. The Sierra Club used the funds to mount a “Beyond Coal” campaign touting the benefits of gas. Joe Romm, a climate advocate at the Center for American Progress, declared that natural gas “may be...
