Welcome to Your New Country The federal indictment of Donald Trump over secretarial matters is meretricious.The news that former president Trump has been indicted on federal criminal charges related to his alleged mishandling of documents after leaving office marks a new milestone in America’s depressing descent to politics in the style of Peru or Turkey, where departed presidents and political opponents are put in prison as a matter of routine. The regime appears to be so besotted with Trump-hate that it is desperate to fling charges and indictments at him, for virtually anything. Following two inane and failed impeachments—the first...

“growing hawkish consensus” about China’s “intent and capabilities.” Jeffrey Meiser, an associate political science professor at the University of Portland (Oregon), Renny Babiarz, an adjunct faculty member at Johns Hopkins, and David Mudd, who recently graduated from the University of Portland with English and political science degrees, “see significant evidence that China’s intentions are indeterminate and, in some arenas, neutral or even possibly aligning with U.S. national security interests.” The best strategic approach to China, they conclude, is not engagement or containment, but instead what they term “entanglement.” This article is an example of why most academics should be kept...

Rachel Maddow Openly Admits Trump Indictment Is Solution to Stop Him Becoming President Leftist MSNBC host Rachel Maddow openly admitted that Thursday’s indictment against former president Donald Trump was a “political solution” to stop him from returning to the White House. She said the quiet part out loud. The clip of what Maddow said has since gone viral. Many also recognized Maddow’s comparison to the 1970s case of Vice President Spiro Agnew as a dog whistle for election interference. Meanwhile, Trump is trouncing Biden in a head-to-head, while RINO Governor Ron DeSantis continues to struggle. “You have...

President Joe Biden has yet to provide an interview for the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into his handling of classified documents, according to three sources familiar with the matter. Sources told NBC News there are few signs that the inquiry into Biden is winding down, a stark contrast to the probes into former Vice President Mike Pence and former President Donald Trump over their handling of classified materials after leaving office. These three insiders said Biden’s advisers have decided Biden will provide an interview to the investigating special counsel, Robert Hur, but only when terms are agreed upon between...

Friday, during an interview with nationally syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt, former Vice President Mike Pence, a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, reacted to his opponent and former boss, former President Donald Trump’s federal indictment. Pence called the indictment “deeply troubling.” “I think it’s important to note that we don’t know the facts in this case,” Pence said. “No one does. But you know, after years of politicization at the Justice Department, two and a half years in our administration where we fought against the Russia hoax that the Durham report recently confirmed, was an investigation that should...

From late 2017 to 2018, three scholars wrote and submitted to academic journals 20 fake papers focused on gender and sexual identity—what the authors call “grievance studies.” Seven journals published their submissions. The scholars’ stated objective for this experiment was to expose the farcical nature of these “disciplines” and their replacement of scholarly rigor with an overt political agenda devoid of academic seriousness. The hoax not only damaged the reputations of the publishing journals, but it also challenged the academic integrity of identity-based “grievance studies.” Such fields may well be part of universities’ overall mission to expand areas of inquiry,...

President Joe Biden, when asked how those viewing the indictment of Donald Trump as politically motivated could trust the Department of Justice, insisted he hasn’t swayed their decision-making and that Americans could believe him because he is “honest.” That declaration of honesty came on the same day Biden was embroiled in a multi-million dollar bribery scheme, something the public has heard little about since the conveniently-timed indictment. The former President Trump, Biden’s chief political opponent in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, was charged Thursday following Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into alleged improper handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago...

These indictments represent a coup d'etat of national proportions. Under the circumstances exile is a completely understandable response. I am--as I am sure you are--concerned regarding Trump's physical safety and that of his family while remaining in the United States. And if he is convicted, does he lose Secret Service protection?

Target Corp.’s stock was downgraded to neutral from buy Friday by Citi, which cited slowing traffic and a tough competitive landscape for the retail giant. “After significant sales gains in 2020-2022, we believe 2023 is showing that sales have peaked and are likely to fall further, creating a ‘giveback’ situation,” wrote Citi analyst Paul Lejuez in a note released Friday. The analyst also cited a “noteworthy deceleration” in Target’s store traffic over the past two weeks.

The petroglyphs were carved on a granite rock face that was once part of an island, meaning people would have had to make the carvings while standing on a boat, or from a platform constructed on ice, said Martin Ostholm, a project manager with the Foundation for Documentation of Bohuslan's Rock Carvings who is one of the archaeologists who discovered the petroglyphs, told Live Science.Bohuslan is already known for its rock carvings, including Bronze Age art made at Tanum... The team was looking for new petroglyphs in the area when they came across the moss-covered rock face. They noticed some...

What happens with the competent retire, burn out or opt out? It's a question few bother to ask because the base assumption is that there is an essentially limitless pool of competent people who can be tapped or trained to replace those who retire, burn out or opt out, i.e. quit in favor of a lifestyle that doesn't require much in the way of income or stress.

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) testified Thursday before a federal grand jury investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, according to CNN. The former House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 riot alleged last September that Gingrich had provided feedback to the Trump campaign about advertisements promoting the former president’s unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud and discussed “coordinating” state electors. In a letter to the former Speaker requesting a voluntary interview, the committee said that Gingrich communicated with former Trump senior advisers Jared Kushner and Jason Miller on campaign ads about the election, after it had been declared for...

Hillary Clinton is reacting to former President Trump’s federal indictment by making a pitch for her “But Her Emails” merchandise. The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee took to social media Friday — just hours after Trump announced Thursday that his legal team had been told he was indicted following an investigation into his handling of classified documents — with a plug for her tongue-in-cheek swag. “Bringing this back in light of recent news,” Clinton told her more than 31 million Twitter followers. “Get a limited-edition But Her Emails hat and support @onwardtogther groups working to strengthen our democracy,” she added. The...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said on Friday that Donald Trump had “brought these charges upon himself” after the former president was notified of his indictment in an investigation into his handling of classified materials. “Mr. Trump brought these charges upon himself by not only taking classified documents, but by refusing to simply return them when given numerous opportunities to do so,” Romney said in a statement. The former Republican presidential candidate acknowledged that Trump is “entitled to the presumption of innocence” and that the government is faced with “the burden of proving its charges beyond a reasonable doubt.” However, he...

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Thursday the state is installing “marine floating barriers” to deter illegal immigrants from crossing the Rio Grande River. The new barriers will be set up at illegal crossing hotspots, with the first deployed near Eagle Pass, which Texas Department of Public Safety director Steven McCraw called the “the center of gravity for smuggling.” The inflatable balls spin when one tries to climb them, “making it more difficult to cross the Rio Grande and reach the Texas side of the southern border,” Abbott’s office said in a press release. Installation of the buoys is beginning “pretty...
