WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a press briefing this morning, the White House praised the overwhelming success of "Bidenomics," as the average American now has twice as many jobs as they had two years ago. "Thanks to the President's wonderful economic policies, most Americans have at least two jobs," said gay, black Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to the raucous applause of hand-picked journalists in the room. "Our economists ran the numbers and found that's twice as many jobs as people used to have just a few years ago. So many jobs! Success!" "Wow! Thanks, President Biden!" said local barista/hardware store clerk/landscaper/drive-thru...

. The long-awaited and much hyped Ukrainian counteroffensive has, so far, not yielded any significant territorial gains, and furthermore has led to the destruction of heaps of military equipment and to massive human losses. That is helping to sink the popular support for the Nazi-friendly Kiev regime in the Western nations that are sustaining the brunt of the financial effort for this war. Now, as Ukraine decides to abandon the NATO-taught strategies of attack, serious dissent is starting to play a part in their relationship with the Western handlers. The New York Times reported…….

Lindsey Graham Cooks Up A Big Awkward Complaint On Judge In Trump's Jan. 6 Case Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is rallying behind the “need” for a new federal judge in the case accusing former President Donald Trump of conspiring to reverse the 2020 election. But Graham has come across the judge’s name before. In fact, he voted to confirm her to the federal judiciary less than a decade ago. Graham, in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday, argued that “any conviction” against Trump isn’t legitimate in the nation’s capital and claimed that Obama-nominated U.S. District Judge Tanya...

A new report from the Tablet online magazine alleges that former President Barack Obama is the power behind much of what happens in President Joe Biden’s White House, controlling key decisions through an army of Obama administration alumni. The lengthy article, “The Obama Factor,” consists of a lengthy introduction by author David Samuels, followed by an interview with civil rights historian and Obama biographer David Garrow. The article covers a wide range of topics, including many areas that few journalists bothered to explore during his 2008 campaign and subsequent presidency, such as the fact that much of Obama’s first memoir,...

Full interview in English “This started with a crazy idea and here we are.” This is how Francisco's welcome begins. With the naturalness with which he has impregnated every corner of a pontificate that has already exceeded a decade and does not smell of wear or liquidation due to closure. At least, that is perceived. Not only first, but when the conversation delves into any topic.

WASHINGTON — President Biden’s claim that he had no role in his son’s foreign business dealings is “categorically false,” Hunter Biden’s former business partner Devon Archer said in an interview published Friday. “He was aware of Hunter’s business, he met with Hunter’s business partners, I mean you found a letter that illustrates that he knew me,” Archer told former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “That’s not factually right — and in the same breath … I don’t think Joe Biden has looked at a balance sheet or, you know, a...

[Catholic Caucus] Priests must play soccer, not preach dogma, says Pope in broadside against traditionalists Rome – Pope Francis has attacked the “corruption” of restorationist movements within the Church and said the Second Vatican Council has not yet been fully implemented.In his latest surprise media interview, with a Spanish language outlet that appeared at the same time he’s in Lisbon celebrating World Youth Day, the Argentine Pontiff hit out at the “prophets of confusion” undermining the mission of the Church.He said people with “right-wing” ideologies were the most dangerous faction in the Church and he called for a generation of...

Vivek Ramaswamy is many things: graduate of Harvard and Yale, hedge-fund hotshot, biotech entrepreneur, author, and popular speaker at conservative functions, but Vivek Ramaswamy is not legally eligible to be president. This might come as a shock to many conservatives who seem to be drawn to the dashing young political ingenue, but shocking as it may be, it’s true, and patriotic Americans should stand by our constitutional standards, even when they go contrary to our own presidential preference. While it is not difficult to prove this fact, it is difficult to convince people to believe it and to be guided...

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm spoke with a senior Chinese energy official the same week that the US began tapping its Strategic Petroleum Reserve in November 2021 — later selling some oil to a Beijing-backed firm linked to first son Hunter Biden, newly uncovered documents show. Granholm called China National Energy Administration Chairman Zhang Jianhua for a half-hour conversation on Nov. 21 *** Two days after the Granholm-Zhang call, ***President Biden announced the release of 50 million barrels of oil from the reserve in an effort to bring down gas prices — “the largest-ever” energy stockpile sale in US history. ***...

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” said former President Donald Trump looked like a “scared puppy” arriving in Washington, D.C. to be arraigned in the January 6 case. Mitchell said, “I want your reaction to the history we saw unfold yesterday. A former president of the United States pleading not guilty over an alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election while he was still leading the country.” Pelosi said, “As I have said, this is heartbreaking for the country. It leads me to a very prayerful time as we say God bless America, to really bless...

Some father-son duos bond over fishing and golf — others seek solace in some good old-fashioned influence-peddling, apparently.Evidence is dropping by the week pointing to Joe Biden’s involvement in a pay-for-play scheme trading political favors for foreign bribe money, with his bumbling son Hunter playing shady international go-between. But we can’t fault selective family man Joe for his poor judgment — he really just loves his son Hunter very much, and the two were working through their shared grief about the death of Biden’s elder son, Beau. Some father-son duos bond over fishing and golf — who are we to...

A JetBlue flight landing at Logan International Airport in Boston nearly smashed into a private jet which took off without permission, the National Transportation Safety Board has revealed. The incident, on February 27, was captured in a chilling photograph from the JetBlue flight's cockpit which shows the LearJet aircraft obstructing the runway as it came into land. Only the quick-thinking of the JetBlue Flight 206 pilot prevented a collision, investigators said. The pilot performed a 'climb-out maneuver' to narrowly avoid the other aircraft. The LearJet's 63-year-old captain - flying for Hop-A-Jet, a Florida-based private charter company - had been told...

A family in Indiana is mourning the loss of a 35-year-old mother-of-two who they said died after drinking 64 ounces of water in 20 minutes. Ashley Summers was celebrating the Fourth of July on a lake in Indiana when she started to feel intensely dehydrated, according to her brother, Devon Miller. "At one point during the day, she started getting a bad headache," Miller told "Good Morning America." "So, she was drinking a lot of water." Miller said Summers drank the equivalent of four 16-ounce bottles of water in 20 minutes, and then later collapsed inside the garage of her...
