This is not a job. It’s a mission. A calling. That’s how Dr. Amal Jadou Shakaa, Palestinian Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, describes her role. You might roll your eyes at a politician describing their job as a vocation. But perhaps not with Dr. Jadou. Firstly, young, female politicians are relatively rare in the Arab world, but also Dr. Jadou, who was a graduate fellow at Harvard Law School, was born in a refugee camp. […] Dr. Jadou is calling on Ireland to formally recognize the state of Palestine, as agreed on by both houses of the Oireachtas. “We want...

Monday, moments after the long-anticipated Durham report about the Department of Justice and FBI probe into allegations the Trump 2016 presidential campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the presidency, CNN’s “The Lead” host Jake Tapper weighed in on the results. Tapper acknowledged to his viewers the report, which criticized the FBI for the intelligence used to justify its investigation, was “devastating” to the agency and exonerated former President Donald Trump.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday called on Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin to hold a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Special Counsel John Durham’s report, which slammed the Justice Department and the FBI for their politically motivated investigation into the Trump campaign for non-existent Russian collusion.

Miller Lite has apologized for its history of advertisements featuring women in bikinis with a woke commercial. In the one minute and 30 second spot posted online, comedian Ilana Glazer says 'It's time beer made it up for women,' as she touted women's role in the brewing process — going all the way back to early civilization. She explained in the commercial that Miller Lite created a campaign for Women's History Month in March to buy up old marketing materials to turn them into compost, which could be used to make fertilizer. That fertilizer would then be donated to female...

As reported by investigative reporter John Solomon and others, the much-anticipated Durham Report was released on Monday. The report, which is over 300 pages long, details the corrupt deep state, specifically the FBI, in collusion with the Crooked Hillary Clinton presidential campaign in an effort to illegally and unconstitutionally frame President Trump for what they called “Russian Collusion”. But not only was the FBI, an arm of the Department of “Justice” in cahoots with the Democrats to frame Trump, they specifically blocked investigations into the Clinton Crime Family:

Not a good look for the Pope. Yet the Pope is not an uneducated man, ignorant of history. Here he is meeting with the Jewish President of Ukraine, who is sporting a Nazi symbol on his sweatshirt. The Western spin is to claim that the political leaders of Ukraine are not embracing the Nazi past because Zelensky is a Jew and Jews hate Nazis. Right? Not necessarily. Take note of the number, 969. It has been almost 1000 years since the split in Christianity that created the Eastern Orthodox Christian movement and the Roman Catholic Church. Western sources go to...

She initially made her allegations public in January, but she detailed her claims further in a 70-page legal complaint filed Monday in New York. Messages seeking comment were left with Giuliani and a lawyer...

The average Democrat knows the Biden family is profoundly corrupt and they simply don’t care…. Sam Harris spoke for all of them when he said it wouldn’t matter if Hunter’s laptop was packed w/pictures of dead kids. ... This is the dirty secret of our time: the device that the Woke / Progressive elite used to finally get rid of Donald Trump — Covid-19 — shoved them over a cliff Wile E. Coyote style. And now, as they freefall off that cliff, the supposed antidote to Covid-19 — getting vaccinated — is blowing up in their faces, again, Wile E....
