“If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week,” Fetterman posted on social media.

Sending shock waves across New Jersey’s political landscape, Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Friday announced a three-count indictment alleging bribery and corruption by Sen. Bob Menendez. It’s the second time New Jersey’s senior senator has faced federal charges. Gov. Phil Murphy called on Menendez to resign. As the day wore on, similar calls from other fellow Democrats started to mount. Among those calling for his resignation were U.S. Rep. Andy Kim (3rd), U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-6th), Senate President Nick Scutari, Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, state Attorney General Matthew Platkin and New Jersey...

The Duran: Episode 1702. Good Sunday listening. Enjoy.

Once again, Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar – using fraudulent absentee ballots to win the Democratic primary held on September 12 of 2023. And once again, our corrupt political class and their acolytes in the media are circling the wagons – not so much to protect Ganim – but to protect the abuse of voting rights that keeps them in power. This is the system that will be used in the swing states of the 2024 presidential election with the goal of the Democrats holding the presidency, no matter who the...

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on Thursday announced it will investigate the death of Wei Hu, a 57-year-old Chinese dissident who ostensibly committed suicide in July 2021. More than two years later, the RCMP is digging into the case because it has new evidence that the Chinese government targeted Hu for harassment, possibly driving him to suicide. The case has obvious political resonance because Canada is embroiled in a rapidly escalating diplomatic confrontation with India over the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly accused the Indian government of complicity in Nijjar’s assassination...

The brother of President Joe Biden’s top adviser is a lobbyist for General Motors (GM), complicating matters for the White House as the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike against record inflation and the administration’s electric vehicle (EV) mandates. Jeff Ricchetti, the brother of Steve Ricchetti, who currently serves as Counselor to the President in the Biden administration, has a well-documented history of lobbying for GM. Steve Ricchetti was also once a lobbyist for GM. Most recently, Politico buried in a report regarding Biden’s ties to GM CEO Mary Barra how the White House has many close ties to the automaker....

House Republicans plan to hold their first hearing on the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on Thursday, and they are aiming for a number of other behind-closed-doors interviews and depositions in the days and weeks to follow. The hearing, titled “The Basis for an Impeachment Inquiry of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.,” will be conducted by the House Oversight Committee and focus on “constitutional and legal questions” related to allegations Biden was improperly involved in his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings, according to a committee aide. The committee has not publicly confirmed witnesses for the hearing yet. Chairman James...

A deadly shooting happened right outside of the 86-year-old victim's South Side home on Saturday morning. Loved ones said Charles Hobson, Sr. was simply headed to get something out of his truck when he was shot and his truck was stolen. Moments later, while police were still on scene, they said, the culprits came back. "It's just heartbreaking that he's no longer here for stupidity," said Kimberly Buford, Charles' longtime neighbor. It took a single noise to pierce through the fabric of the tight-knit block. "I heard one shot," said Tamika Wright, another longtime neighbor. "We love each other. We...

This week has been dominated by Z’s visit to the US, including his speech at the UN General Assembly and his meetings with Biden and Senator McCarthy. He has been applauded in public but reprimanded in private, or so the rumors will have it. It is by no means certain that the latest batch of funding ($24 billions) will be approved as Republican opposition grows. The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh has competed with the apparently pedestrian pace of fighting in Ukraine for dramatic headlines. I have already provided a brief Update of the situation in Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) so will not...

Barstool Sports founder and small business star Dave Portnoy has faced criticism from the Washington Post for his first-of-its-kind "One Bite" pizza festival, but, despite this strategic provocation and severe weather conditions, the celebration was a success. "It couldn't have gone better. It's our Woodstock moment with the rain. 5,000 people strong. Everyone had a great time. The vibes are actually probably higher because of the controversy surrounding it. So, yeah, it went great," Portnoy said during his Sunday appearance on "Fox & Friends Weekend." The "One Bite" pizza festival was a celebration planned by Portnoy himself to round up...

Two Americans are alleging the FBI lost or stole their property after seizing it through a "shady" process. "All we know is that their property was in a box and safe before the FBI broke into the box," Joe Gay, an attorney with the nonprofit law firm Institute for Justice, told Fox News. "Once the FBI broke into the box, we honestly don't know exactly what happened." "We don't know if they lost it. We don't know if somebody pocketed it and walked away," he continued. "We have no way to know."

In late 2020, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) met with Philip Sellinger, a private practice lawyer and former fundraiser for the senator, to assess his potential fit as the next U.S. attorney for the state of New Jersey - and to discuss one case in particular. If appointed, Sellinger would assume control of one of the largest prosecutor’s offices in the country, a post that comes with the power to bust mob bosses and go after corrupt public officials. But Menendez, federal prosecutors say, was fixated on a less consequential matter: ensuring the future prosecutor would act sympathetically toward a friend...

Claims that a California school told students that white people had "no culture" have sparked controversy, with a parent expressing outrage about the alleged incident. The mother of one of the students reported the claims to the San Ramon Valley Unified School District last week, saying that her daughter was taught about white privilege during a choir class and was told by an "equity teacher" that white people have no culture. She added: "During this, the teacher's discussion with the class, she stated that white people had no culture and any culture that they did have was stolen. She gave...

Purcellville, VA, Sept. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Purcellville, VA—Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), the largest homeschool advocacy group in the United States, continues to defend Uwe and Hannelore Romeike and their seven children as they seek the freedom to homeschool their children in the United States—a freedom that is severely curtailed in their native land of Germany. On Sept. 6, 2023, the Romeikes were told during a routine check-in at their local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office that they had four weeks to secure passports and return to Germany. The news came without warning, and with no...

For two decades, the U.S. Virgin Islands’ most prominent government and elected officials - as well as their pet charities, educational institutions and causes - were paid millions of dollars by Jeffrey Epstein in the form of salaries, campaign contributions and consultant fees. His most trusted employee was the U.S. territory’s first lady. At the same time, USVI authorities paid little mind to the young women and girls he shuttled through the St. Thomas airport following his 2008 Palm Beach conviction for soliciting a minor for sex. Epstein’s abuse of underage girls became so well publicized that his hideaway, an...

The photographer captured images of a shocking free-for-all, with at least 26 peddlers hawking miniature Statues of Liberty, pot-leaf caps, and stuffed llamas — and some selling illegal cocktails or selfies with a live snake. And that was just on the Manhattan side. “It’s like a football field of vendors,” said Lower East Sider Katie Raffa, 33. “Someday, this is going to cause a stampede. I think it’s very dangerous and very concerning.” The rising black-market pandemonium has exploded on the bridge since the city moved cyclists to a protected lane on the roadway two years ago. Illegal vendors —...

The Canadian parliament, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have been reported to have given a standing ovation to a reported former member of a Nazi military division. Following addresses to the parliament in Ottowa on Friday from both Trudeau and Zelensky, the Speaker of the House of Commons Anthony Rota prompted a standing ovation as he honoured a “veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today even at his age of 98.”
