You may have seen pictures or video of a very large group of illegal aliens outside the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan. Some were trying to push their way into the hotel, some decided to camp-out on the sidewalk outside. It wasn’t a good look.

LeBron James, one of the great moral frauds of sports, has been riding on his reputation as a man of and for the streets for years now.James has a net worth somewhere around a billion dollars–billion with a ‘B’–but with his carefully cultivated reputation, he has managed to become a symbol of Black empowerment and even a disciple of Malcolm X.Now I don’t want to imply I think he is a grifter. He isn’t. He became as wealthy as he is through sheer grit and talent. I can’t judge whether he “deserves” to be a billionaire–nobody “deserves” a billion dollars–he...

Can we please call a moving van and a fumigator to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and – when the poison clears – can we have the house cleaned by a religious team? Rabbi, priest, imam – whoever and whatever it takes to get a ritual cleansing for the ages done of the White House, and remove the scum that has to be clinging to the walls with every breath Joe Biden takes in that hallowed place.You knew it was real, and I knew it was real. But in your heart of hearts, the things written in what was purported to be...

It seems the climate change hysteria crowd is having trouble convincing people that we are all going to die in a gargantuan fireball if we don’t start driving electric vehicles and eating crickets. To remedy this issue, some progressive senators have concocted a novel idea: Throw people in prison for arguing against left-wing ideas on climate change.Sure, it’s a bit authoritarian, but it would be effective, wouldn’t it?Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders led a gaggle of fellow lawmakers in writing a letter to the Justice Department demanding that it prosecute people in the fossil fuel industry for saying things about climate...

Once again, the political world has been engulfed by another indictment of Donald Trump, this time surrounding his alleged actions involving January 6th.The details include four different counts, including two counts of conspiracy and two counts of obstruction. Those four counts break down specifically to Trump allegedly attempting to obstruct an official proceeding, which has to do with January 6th, while the conspiracy charges appear to center on the supposed alternate electors scheme.Obviously, arguments about selective prosecution and weaponization of the DOJ will be at the forefront for political circles, but even on legal grounds, this indictment appears to be...

People around the world may fear the gray hairs, crows feet, and stagnation that come with a midlife crisis. But over in China, millennials fear hitting an age milestone now thought to be a death sentence for one's career: 35. These anxieties have been summed up in the phrase "Curse of 35," a concept and hashtag that's gone viral on China's Twitter-like Weibo. It refers, specifically, to the average Chinese employer's preference for hiring workers who haven't reached the sell-by date of their 35th birthday. "I am scared that I won't be able to keep my job, and then I...

I feel like I’ve said this a lot lately, but Joe Biden has a lot of gall.I think there’s no question about it. He’s done such a horrible job on the economy, driving us into record inflation spurred on by reckless spending. But then he tries to take “credit” for all kinds of things he had nothing to do with or that aren’t true. He tries to label his failures a success, even calling the mess he’s put forth “Bidenomics” (as though that were something of which to be proud).But there’s only so much you can spin, and there’s no...

Authorities have charged a former Boston Public Schools principal with one count of wire fraud for allegedly misusing nearly $40,000 in public money on things like all-inclusive personal vacations.

U.S. District Judge is set to oversee former President Trump's case involving his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The big picture: Chutkan has previously dealt with Trump, denying his 2021 motion to halt records from being turned over to the Jan. 6 committee, writing, "Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not president." Snip Former President Obama appointed Chutkan to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in 2014.

Yellow Freight, a massive, almost century-old LTL carrier, has gone out of business, and the “spin” of the business world will likely rival the spin of the political world in covering this news. First, some background. LTL refers to “less than truckload freight,” so an LTL carrier is one that picks up relatively small loads, usually 1 to 5 pallets’ worth, and consolidates them at terminals with other such freight with similar destinations, in what is called a “cross-dock” operation. Through a network of base terminals across a metro area, a region, or even the entire country, the nation’s thousands...

Former Vice President Mike Pence issued a statement Tuesday evening on the indictment of his former boss and now presidential campaign rival President Trump for contesting the 2020 election and lobbying state officials, Congress and Pence about the election. Pence said he has not reviewed the indictment. Trump strongly lobbied Pence to accept challenges to state election results and give those states time to review their elections when he presided over the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021. Pence rejected Trump’s pleas, disagreeing with Trump’s saying he had the legal authority to do so under the Electoral Count...

Today's indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States.— Mike Pence (@Mike_Pence) August 1, 2023

Laura Loomer's revealing of Team DeSantis continues...Think Ron DeSantis’ Senior Commcuations staffer Bryan Griffin was bad?

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday announced he’s suing the Department of Justice (DOJ) and filing a new Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) records request for more details about the recent indictments of former President Trump. “My aim in bringing this lawsuit is to finally deliver accountability and transparency: what did Biden and his cronies tell [Attorney General Merrick] Garland and what did Garland and the deep-staters who put him in as Attorney General tell [special counsel] Jack Smith,” Ramaswamy said in a statement shared by his campaign.
