The White House on Tuesday left open the possibility that President Biden could cut short a weeklong international trip as debt talks remain at a standstill. National Security spokesman John Kirby confirmed that Biden will leave as planned for Japan on Wednesday for the Group of Seven summit but added, “We’re re-evaluating the rest of the trip now.” “It’s difficult for me to tell you exactly what to anticipate at this point,” he said. “Given where we are right now, it’s also incredibly prudent and responsible for the president to take a look at the rest of the trip.”

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told Breitbart News that the “Trump freight train is moving full speed ahead” to primary and general election victories as a poll shows he is the clear-cut frontrunner for the GOP nomination in the Empire State. The Sienna College poll released on Monday finds that 60 percent of New York Republicans back former President Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, 32 percent of respondents support another politician or declared candidate, and another eight percent are undecided about who they would vote for. Seven other candidates divide the remaining thirty-two percent support, with...

In Tuesday’s Senate Banking Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman’s incoherent and disjointed speech left many questioning his ability to contribute meaningfully to the discussion. During his nearly two-minute monologue, Fetterman struggled to articulate his points, leaving listeners perplexed and concerned about his effectiveness as a representative. His comments meandered between vague statements about the responsibility of banks, the need for stricter regulations, and even drawing an unrelated parallel to SNAP work requirements.

As support for assisted suicide in Canada climbs despite an excruciating series of stories reporting that the poor and disabled are opting for lethal injections out of pure desperation, we are witnessing the emergence of a truly post-Christian culture. As a headline in the U.K. magazine The Spectator asked last year: “Why is Canada euthanising the poor?” The response from some bio-ethicists appears to be: Well, why not? In fact, a new paper by two bioethicists at the University of Toronto makes the case that euthanizing the poor should be socially acceptable. Kayla Wiebe, a PhD candidate in philosophy, and...

The United Nations (U.N.) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are working to normalize pedophilia globally, according to Dutch author and journalist David Sorensen. “I’ve worked for several months now on gathering evidence that shows undeniably, conclusively that the United Nations and United Nations and the World Health Organization and other organizations like Planned Parenthood and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation […] are working all over the world […] to completely take over the education in kindergartens and elementary schools,” Sorensen said on the Truth for Health podcast, hosted by Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet.

Daniel Penny, the former Marine who subdued Jordan Neely--the man who was terrorizing riders on a New York City subway--was arrested on a charge of manslaughter and could be sentenced to 15 years in prison if convicted. Neely had previously been arrested 42 times by NYC police. Three of these arrests were for assaults on women in the subway. In the most recent incident he was pacing up and down a subway car shouting that he wanted to get arrested and would kill someone if that was what it took to accomplish this end. Several people, including Penny--who put him...

Kari Lake will have one last chance to argue in court that her 17,000-vote loss 2022 election should be overturned — but to actually do so, she will have to prove conclusively that Maricopa County brazenly failed to verify tens of thousands of early voter signatures and that, in doing so, the county affected the outcome in the election. And the judge in the case, who ruled late Monday that Lake can take her sole remaining claim to trial on Wednesday, made clear that the former GOP gubernatorial nominee has her work cut out for her: She must prove her...

Special Counsel John Durham revealed that he questioned former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in May 2022, but did not find any 'provable criminal offense,' despite her clear attempt to 'vilify' Trump by linking him to an unsubstantiated collusion plot with Russia ahead of the 2016 election. Durham said in the report published Monday that the FBI should have done more to look into a Russian intelligence analysis suggesting that 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had personally approved a plan to 'vilify' her opponent Donald Trump by claiming foreign interference in the election. However, in a footnote in the report...

Small nuclear explosion, major radioactive poisoning event The only military use for DU is defeating tank armor. That begs a question, what was the point? I haven't read anything about tank battles in country 404 so far, Russians are basically using tanks for mobile medium range artillery. And there is still the possibility of parts of Poland and Germany being poisoned. And, whatever your opinion of hohos might be, the British should know better than to be participating in anything like this.

Former President Barack Obama said Tuesday on “CBS Mornings” that the United States was allowing our children’s lives to be at risk because gun ownership has become a partisan issue. Host Nate Burelson asked, “Gun violence is the number one cause of death for children in this country. What is the radical solution? And do you believe there is a larger issue at hand that causes fractures among us in this country?” Obama said, “We are unique among advanced, developed nations, in tolerating on a routine basis, gun violence in the form of shootings, mass shootings, suicides. You know in...

Long-term expansion of Mediterranean forests and increase in precipitation as well as an enhanced East Asian summer monsoon associated with the increase and northward migration of the Atlantic moisture source. Paradoxically, the glacial was warmer and wetter than the preceding interglacial. Credit: André Bahr Approximately 700,000 years ago, a "warm ice age" permanently changed the climate cycles on Earth. Contemporaneous with this exceptionally warm and moist period, the polar glaciers greatly expanded. A European research team including Earth scientists from Heidelberg University used recently acquired geological data in combination with computer simulations to identify this seemingly paradoxical connection.

The unknown man was stopped by police in Springfield, Colorado, just before midnight on Saturday for allegedly driving 52 mph in a 30-mph zone. Springfield Police Department said that they conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle which had been traveling near 7th and Main Street in the town.

Yo, this is a pretty wild video out of Charleston County, South Carolina, and it tells you a whole lot about what police officers are faced with on a daily basis. This may seem like your everyday traffic stop — the car being pulled over for swerving — however, the man in the passenger seat is a convicted felon, and officers spoke with him for about five minutes before asking him to get out of the vehicle. Here's what happened when they did that (I'm going to warn you that while you don't see blood, the perp gets smoked in...

A doctor said 'kids' think they are just smoking marijuana, but tests show fentanyl. Families torn apart after teen sons were driven to suicide by weed It is thought that fentanyl has been mixed with marijuana flowers and THC gummies to increase the intensity of the high, and comes amid a wave of marijuana legalizations across the country that has sparked competition over who can get the most potent strain of the drug. 'The marijuana they may be used to from their childhood is not what we're dealing with now. We’re dealing with an almost different ballgame of potency.' The...

FLASHBACK: Nancy Pelosi Swore She Had Cold Hard Evidence of Trump and Russia Collusion In 2017, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi swore she was in possession of “cold hard evidence” of collusion between the Trump family and Russia. Another Trump/Russia narrative hack we can add to the list. Here is what Pelosi said while pushing the Trump and Russia collusion narrative in 2017: “This week, we saw cold, hard evidence of the Trump campaign. Indeed, the Trump family eagerly intending to collude, possibly with Russia, a hostile foreign power to influence American elections in the month.” “Again, as we celebrate...

Mayor Eric Adams took another shot at the White House over the ongoing migrant crisis Tuesday, implying President Biden was nowhere to be found. “Where the heck is the president of the United States?” Fox 5 “Good Day New York” co-host Rosanna Scotto asked Hizzoner during an interview. “That is a good question,” the mayor responded. “I think we all should be asking, ‘Why is this happening to a city that was turning itself around and will continue to do so?’ “This should not be happening to New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and the other big northern cities,” Adams...

Monday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” host Laura Ingraham called the findings of the Durham probe into the investigation of Donald Trump and alleged Russian collusion to be “arguable” worse than the Watergate scandal that plagued former President Richard Nixon.
