Fox News National Correspondent Griff Jenkins remarked on how sparse the turnout was at the federal courthouse as former President Donald Trump made his way to Washington, D.C. for his arraignment on four federal charges related to Jan. 6. “Now, out here, obviously, security is tight,” Jenkins said from the courthouse. “U.S. Marshals have the entire courthouse fenced off. We are seeing a lot of media, as you might imagine. Interestingly, though, only a handful of supporters, some pro-Trump, some anti-Trump, but it is a much more subdued scenario than what we saw when we were in Miami in June...

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday spelled out his plan for revenge over the targeted harassment toward him at the hands of President Biden’s Justice Department, warning “In 2024, it will be our turn!” “Look, it’s not my fault that my political opponent in the Democrat Party, Crooked Joe Biden, has told his Attorney General to charge the leading (by far!) Republican Nominee & former President of the United States, me, with as many crimes as can be concocted so that he is forced to spend large amounts of time & money to defend himself,” Trump said prior to his...

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund told then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson that events surrounding the January 6th riots at the U.S. Capitol appear to have been a “cover up,” in never-seen-before footage published exclusively by The National Pulse. In the hour-long interview, Sund laments the behaviors of then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as well as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, who he says had intelligence to suggest problems on Capitol Hill, which they failed to communicate with Sund and his cops on the ground. “If I was allowed to do my job as the chief...

Former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steve Sund told former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he was not “crazy” to question the behavior of individuals present in the January 6th crowd, one of whom in particular – Ray Epps – had bragged to his friends that he “orchestrated” the entire thing, before the Democrat-run Jan 6 Committee thanked him for participating in their charade. In never-before-seen footage published exclusively by The National Pulse, Carlson asks Sund as about Epps, though without using the Arizona man’s name: TUCKER: “So let’s go back to the role of, you said nine out of...

Irregularities in the 2020 presidential election, as alleged by former President Donald Trump, are creeping back into the minds of registered Republicans and GOP-leaning independents. A full 69% of those voters say they have doubts President Joe Biden legitimately received the votes that propelled him to the White House over Trump, according to the latest CNN poll. Notably, that number is back on the rise to nearly 70% after previous polls showed it declining to 63%. The rise to 69% is still below the 2021 high of 72% of those saying they doubted Biden's Electoral College victory was legitimate.

In 2005, The Epoch Times acquired a secret speech given by Defense Minister Chi Haotian to high-level Communist Party Cadres sometime before his retirement in 2003. Details given in Chi’s speech coincide with previously unpublished defector testimony on Sino-Russian military plans.

Former national security adviser John Bolton said Thursday during CNN’s special coverage of the indictment of Donald Trump that it was “false” the Department of Justice is weaponized against the former president. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “There are a lot of Republicans in Congress railing about two standards of justice. They say when you look at the conduct that Donald Trump has been accused of. Is there any part of you that thinks that it’s true that the Justice Department is being weaponized against Donald Trump for political reasons?”

The Islamic State (formerly known as ISIS) confirmed the death of its leader Abu Hussein al-Husseini al-Quraishi, and named Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Quraishi as his replacement, Reuters reported Thursday, citing the group's spokesperson.

Abu Hussein al-Husseini al-Quraishi took over in November 2022 after his predecessor was killed...

"And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on."

Luke, Chapter 12 1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch...

CNN political commentator Van Jones said Thursday during the network’s special coverage of the indictment of Donald Trump that the former president was “masterful at getting half the country now to go along with this delusion that he has that somehow he’s the victim.” Jones said, “In this some ways this is a normal persons worst nightmare and a narcissist’s dream to be martyred, you know, for his cause, for his people, to have to face the establishment. ‘I’m doing this for you,’ and he goes back and does a rally or something.”

Don’t withhold it, don’t go on — report it. Call someone. Do something...

Former national security adviser John Bolton said Thursday during CNN’s special coverage of the indictment of Donald Trump that there was no doubt in his mind that the former president knew he lost the 2020 election. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “One important question in the case going forward might be whether prosecutors will be able to prove that Donald Trump acted corruptly. In other words, whether or not he knew, deep down, the fact that he lost the election. You worked closely with him. Do you think Donald Trump knew that he lost the election?”

Other than being large-state governors who have seen a future president in the bathroom mirror each day, California Democrat Gavin Newsom and Florida Republican Ron DeSantis don’t have a lot in common. Newsom has led a state government totally controlled by his party to create something of a progressive laboratory on issues ranging from climate change to abortion rights to protections for undocumented immigrants. DeSantis, of course, has made his alleged conversion of Florida into a cultural and regulatory paradise for reactionaries – where “woke goes to die” – the signature of his once-formidable, now flailing presidential bid. Both these...
