Ron DeSantis starts off the week with yet more bad news for his campaign, as the first Rasmussen Reports head-to-head since his glitch-ridden campaign launch shows the Florida Governor actually losing support.A like-for-like study released by Rasmussen on Monday morning reveals DeSantis’s February 2023 numbers at 32 percent with likely Republican voters, whereas he slips to 30 percent in the latest, May poll.And while the Florida Governor’s slippage is with Rasmussen’s three point margin of error, former President Donald Trump’s massive spike in support is definitely not. The 45th President rose a whopping 13 points in comparison to February, and...

In a new scoop, Just The News founder John Solomon appeared on Human Events with Jack Posobiec to discuss revelations surrounding questionable conduct by US government representatives during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021, including that the Jan. 6 House committee allegedly doctored tapes that surfaced following that fateful day. “Everything about January 6 was scripted,” Solomon declared, before adding that upon browsing the security footage, he noticed a glaring lack of sound in many of the scenes that he had previously both seen and heard. He recounted asking a group of “experts” about the sound of the surveillance...

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said he will begin the process of holding FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress, despite viewing and being briefed by bureau officials on the subpoenaed document alleging Joe Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme on Capitol Hill Monday.

The music and podcast-streaming service Spotify announced Monday it is laying off 200 people as it makes changes to its podcasting division. “We are expanding our partnership efforts with leading podcasters from across the globe with a tailored approach optimized for each show and creator. This fundamental pivot from a more uniform proposition will allow us to support the creator community better. However, doing so requires adapting,” said Sahar Elhabashi, Spotify’s vice president and head of its podcast business, in an internal update. “As a result, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to make a strategic realignment of...

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on Saturday called on China to stop enlisting former German military pilots for the training of its own forces. "I have made it clear that I expect this policy to be stopped immediately," Pistorius told reporters after meeting his Chinese counterpart at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Asia's most important security conference. He added the Chinese defense minister had not denied the practice of hiring former German military pilots, but played down its significance.

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Monday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that he would not run for president in 2024. Anchor Dana Bash said, “Your decision?” Sununu said, “We’ve taken the last six months to really look at things, where everything is and I’ve made the decision not to run for president on the Republican ticket in 2024. Obviously a lot goes into that decision. It’s been quite adventure, but not the end of the adventure by any means.”

Empty dirt lots are scattered across American cities where developers once planned to build new homes. The problem isn’t that builders can’t find workers or obtain permits. They lack the electric transformers required to connect homes to the grid. “We were so concerned about things like lumber and appliances, and those all help. But then all of a sudden it was this power transformer—you can’t get them,” a home builder in Greenville, S.C., told a Fox affiliate in March. “We have 106 town-home sites and so we’ve only been able to get the first six going.” Transformers step up or...

Royal Navy top brass have been accused of taking political correctness 'a step too far' after it was revealed naval chiefs were 'considering' issuing multiple military ID cards to gender-fluid sailors. The move triggered a verbal broadside from veteran military commanders - including a former head of the Navy - who claimed the proposal could be 'open to abuse' and might pose a 'security risk'. Currently, all military personnel are issued a single identification card, known as a MoD90, which displays their name, rank and photograph. They allow access to Ministry of Defence sites. However, the Navy is weighing up...

The FBI boldly proclaims its motto, “Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity.” This maxim originated with a comment by Inspector W.H. Drane Lester in a 1935 edition of the FBI employee magazine, The Investigator. Lester remarked: “But ‘F B I’ is the best and one from which we might well choose our motto, for those initials also represent the three things for which the Bureau and its representatives always stand: “Fidelity – Bravery – Integrity.” Nevertheless, two emails disseminated to all FBI personnel last week justify an alteration to this longstanding monicker. Despite its purported commitment to impartiality and respect for religious expression,...

As The Gateway Pundit reported in 2020, election fraud whistleblowers came forward in December following the controversial election, including one who witnessed the shipping of an estimated 144,000-288,000 completed ballots across three state lines on October 21. The new information was made public at a press conference by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization. The Amistad Project said that they have sworn declarations that state over 300,000 ballots are at issue in Arizona, 548,000 in Michigan, 204,000 in Georgia, and over 121,000 in Pennsylvania. They claim that their evidence reveals multi-state illegal efforts...

@WulffJones It’s the premiere of “The Great Awakening” in Austin, Texas. This film can and will stop the next phase of the Globalist depopulation plans, including a permanent lockdown.

'Milk’s taste in men veered toward boys.' The media is ‘mediaing’ again and confusing its leftist culture war beliefs with actual facts. Temecula school board president calls Harvey Milk ‘pedophile’ before book banning vote – CBS LA An ugly scene played out at the Temecula Valley School Board meeting as they voted 3-2 to reject an elementary school social studies book that contained information about pioneering California gay rights figure Harvey Milk. The board’s president made a baseless accusation that Milk was a pedophile before voting to ban the book. “My question is, why even mention a pedophile?” said Board...

You are not supposed to know about the contents of the laptop computer that Hunter Biden neglected to retrieve from a repair shop in Delaware. The 2020 election was fixed by the suppression of the evidence on it, and the deep state – in the form of 51 former intelligence officers – saw to it that it was falsely dismissed as Russian disinformation and rendered null and void as a factor in determining a significant number of votes. A former Trump White House aide named Garrett Ziegler obtained a copy of the hard drive and is speaking out and publishing...

Connor Hughes and his wife Brieanne both grew up outside Philadelphia. They met working at an ice cream shop in high school and stayed together during college despite going to different schools. Hughes says they’ve both been fortunate enough to find decent-paying jobs, and they’ve been smart with their money, knowing in the back of their minds that they wanted to buy a house one day, with more than $100,000 saved. They’ve even got a baby on the way. There’s just one problem: They’re losing hope of finding anything affordable in south Jersey and ever moving out of their two-bedroom...

Here's a Tweet that caught my eye regarding the "fundamental problem" in China.

Supporters of jailed Russian opposition figure, Alexeï Navalny, held protests in Moscow, Germany, and elsewhere in the world on Sunday to show their support as the 47-year-old spent his third birthday in prison.

More important to America’s future than unearthing Biden family corruption is uncovering corrupt bureaucrats who violate the rule of law.The confidential human source (CHS) behind the detailed allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions was reportedly “highly credible” and used by the FBI in multiple criminal investigations dating back to the Obama administration. Friday’s exclusive by Fox News provides further insight into Sen. Chuck Grassley’s focus on the FBI — as opposed to the Biden family — as the primary scandal in play.“We aren’t interested in whether or not...

In case you missed it here is a video (see link below) of Nikki Haley making the case for war in Ukraine. She says it's a war about "freedom", and Russia is the agressor. Nikki says going to war against Russia is to prevent war. Claims if Ukrain loses, then we are all looking at a world war, but does not explain how? Nikki did not address what is the imminent national security threat to the United States. What does U.S. victory look like? How does Nikki plan to pay for this war given the fact we 31 Trillion dollars...

Today, the press is seen by large numbers of Americans as only selectively truthful—slanted toward a particular point of view, usually one that is both secular and progressive. A 2022 Gallup poll found that just 7 percent of Americans have “a great deal” of trust and confidence in the media, and 27 percent have “a fair amount.” Meanwhile, 28 percent of U.S. adults say they do not have “very much confidence” and well over a third have none at all in newspapers, TV, and radio.“Notably,” Gallup reported, “this is the first time that the percentage of Americans with no trust...
