The Biden administration informed Donald Trump’s lawyers that a grand jury had indicted the former president and he must surrender to a federal court in Miami on Tuesday. Trump took to Truth Social late Thursday to announce the indictment, proclaiming his innocence and calling it a dark day in America. The news of the indictment quickly suffocated coverage of a confidential human source’s claim that the Ukrainian founder of Burisma had paid a $5 million bribe to Joe Biden. While the shift in coverage is unfortunate because the legacy media had finally begun to cover the Biden pay-to-pay scandal, the...

Back during the last solar eclipse over the continental United States in 2017, grid operators in California had to make adjustments to the electricity grid to account from the lost solar power during the 90 minutes or so that the eclipse dimmed sunlight in California. Such is the sensitivity of solar power to clouds and other obstructions such as routine dust, winter snow, and . . . forest fire smoke. The northeast is learning this right now amidst the smoke plume blowing down from Canada.

I have received a letter from the Privileges Committee making it clear - much to my amazement - that they are determined to use the proceedings against me to drive me out of Parliament. They have still not produced a shred of evidence that I knowingly or recklessly misled the Commons. They know perfectly well that when I spoke in the Commons, I was saying what I believed sincerely to be true and what I had been briefed to say, like any other minister. They know that I corrected the record as soon as possible; and they know that I...

Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan said Friday an FBI agent had voiced 'strong concerns' and revealed 'several unusual features' in the Department of Justice's raid on Mar-a-Lago. The DOJ indicted Donald Trump on Thursday on charges related to his handling of classified documents. Three days earlier the committee did a transcribed interview with Steven D'Antuono, the former assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington field office.

DC_Draino @DC_Draino These photos were included in the DOJ indictment to allege President Trump was “careless” with his documents First of all, where are the pictures of Joe Biden’s garage and Hillary’s home email server? But more importantly, Mar a Lago is a locked down fortress They have armed Secret Service at the entrance checking IDs, only club members and their guests are allowed, there are security cameras everywhere, and agents are stationed at almost every corner where people are allowed to go (which is less than 10% of the entire property) If President Trump is in the area, the...

"Over the course of his presidency, TRUMP gathered newspapers, press clippings, letters, notes, cards, photographs, official documents, and other materials in cardboard boxes that he kept in the White House," the indictment states. "Among the materials TRUMP stored in his boxes were hundreds of classified documents."

A recently amended California bill would add “affirming” the sexual transition of a child to the state’s standard for parental responsibility and child welfare—making any parent who doesn’t affirm transgenderism for their child guilty of abuse under California state law. AB 957 passed California’s State Assembly on May 3, but a co-sponsor amended it after hours in California’s State Senate on June 6. Assembly Member Lori Wilson, D-Suisun City, wrote the bill and introduced it on Feb. 14. State Sen. Scott Weiner, D-San Francisco, co-sponsored it. Wilson’s child identifies as transgender. Originally, AB 957 required courts to consider whether a...

Boris Johnson, the former British prime minister and a key architect of the “Brexit” movement, has resigned as a member of parliament with immediate effect, according to reports in Britain’s media. Johnson resigned after receiving a copy of a report about whether he had misled parliament about Downing Street parties that had broken lockdown rules imposed by the government during the coronavirus pandemic — a scandal dubbed “Partygate” in the British press. “They have still not produced a shred of evidence that I knowingly or recklessly misled the [House of Commons],” Johnson said in a statement, according to the BBC....

Jury is still out on whether taurine supplementation could provide antiaging benefits to humans Researchers first sifted the amino acid taurine from a sample of ox bile in 1827. Today, it’s better known as one of the main ingredients in many energy drinks. But it may do more than drive sales of these beverages. A study published today in Science suggests boosting taurine levels increases life span in mice and improves the physical condition of middle-aged monkeys, hinting it could do the same for people. “This might be something that could be used to fight aging-related diseases or increase life...

FIRST ON FOX – A Democratic Maryland city council member, who was recently criticized for claiming Muslim children speaking out at a school board meeting were "on the same side… as White supremacists," also has a history of bashing "White women" and "Zionist Jews," Fox News Digital found. Kristin Mink — a former public school teacher — was elected in December to the Montgomery County council, representing District 5. While declaring "this is equity," she reasoned Tuesday evening at a school board meeting that Muslim children who spoke out against an LGBTQ+ curriculum were "on the same side… as White...
