Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has hired the lawyer representing President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, after Menendez was indicted last week on federal corruption charges. CNBC reported that Menendez hired Abbe Lowell to represent him in the case — the same lawyer that he hired in 2015 to represent him in a similar corruption case, although legal experts have said that the evidence in the current case is much stronger. Lowell was hired by Hunter Biden after his plea deal fell apart in federal court last month which eventually led to prosecutors charging Hunter Biden on firearm-related charges. The federal...

Well, this is something: Yeah, we need some new ones — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 25, 2023 Before you ask, we checked. We found the site they are referring to and it says exactly what is pictured. It says: Hydroxychloroquine may also be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients. … Hydroxychloroquine should only be used for COVID-19 in a hospital or during clinical trials. Do not take any medicine that contains hydroxychloroquine unless prescribed by your doctor. Now, there are tons of warnings on that website that we are not quoting, and you would be foolish to...

Liv Grace came down with respiratory infections three times over the course of four months. Each occurred after a visit to a medical provider in the Bay Area. Mx. Grace, 36, a writer who uses they/them pronouns, was infected with respiratory syncytial virus, which led to pneumonia, in December, after they were treated by a nurse wearing a surgical mask who complained about her children being ill with the virus. Mx. Grace got Covid after a visit to a cancer center for an infusion in February. And there was the pale, coughing phlebotomist who drew blood in April, just before...

"IT'S CRAZY TO THINK THAT OUR COLLECTIVE BOWEL DYSFUNCTION PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN SO BAD THAT WE'RE LITERALLY RUNNING OUT OF STOOL SOFTENERS." Laxatives are having a major cultural renaissance — so much so, in fact, that soaring demand for the drugs is reportedly causing a national shortage. As The Wall Street Journal reports, the US is experiencing a scarcity of polyethylene glycol 3350, the pharmaceutical powering name-brand products like Miralax and Glycolax. As for why? It's complicated. Per the report, there are several suspected culprits for the rising laxative demand. On the one hand, the American population is aging, and...

The first trans person to be elected to office in Tennessee is being treated as a second-class citizen and may be forced to use the male bathroom at work despite identifying as female. Five women, including openly transgender member Olivia Hill, were handed a sweeping victory on Sept. 14 by winning all the seats at large during Nashville Metro Council’s election and making the body majority-female. However, the historic election victory is being overshadowed by an anti-LGBTQ law quietly passed in May that will make it harder for Hill to do her job and simply live her life in the...

'Probably don’t want to mention to Transatlantic in case we can’t deliver though I guess...' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ President Joe Biden and embattled son Hunter find themselves under scrutiny as their close ties to indicted Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., surface through a 2010 email obtained from Hunter’s infamous laptop. This revelation has raised questions about the extent of Biden’s connections with Menendez and has added to the mounting controversies surrounding the president, who is facing allegations of bribery himself.

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemJohn 18Jesus Arrested 18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. 4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out...

As a promotional tie-in for The Mark Steyn Show's demographic whirlwind special, the Italian government very kindly arranged for the island of Lampedusa to be swamped by sub-Saharan Africans who in a couple of days wound up outnumbering the locals three-to-one. On the crude arithmetic my guests were explaining, what's to stop that becoming the ratio of the entire continent? But hey, what's the big deal? The hack pontiff was in Marseilles to finger-wag: "Those who risk their lives at sea do not invade, they look for welcome, for life" he said. "As for the emergency, the phenomenon of migration...

I predict that by the end of January 2024, after retail sales from holiday spending posts lethargic consumer spending, companies will begin slashing millions of jobs causing wide-spread mortgage defaults. REO and foreclosures will flood the real estate market as real estate investors rush to liquidate their inventories forcing listing prices way down, causing home values to crash through the floor. This will lead to a massive spike in the divorce rate as we witnessed in the last housing crash. Foreclosure is a miserable experience as is divorce. Can you image the following scenario? 1. You purchased a home during...

The failed state in South Africa is a blueprint for the USA if Americans don't make a change right away. Other than natural disasters and major loss of life, Americans rarely pay attention to events occurring around the world — especially if it is a slow process, aided by the left. Such is the case with South Africa. With the end of Apartheid in the early 1990s, the African National Congress (ANC) won power in 1994 and has never relinquished it. What has happened since then has been the embodiment of Critical Race Theory in practice, with predictable results. Americans...

Embattled Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey is expected to defiantly announce Monday that he will seek re-election — less than a week after being indicted on explosive corruption charges. The 69-year-old Democrat issued a statement Friday, the day of his Manhattan federal indictment, insisting, “I’m not going anywhere” — despite widespread calls including from top officials in his own party to resign. Monday’s expected press conference would be his first in-person appearance since he and his wife were charged with taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in the form of gold bars, a Mercedes-Benz convertible, cash and...

President Joe Biden (D) is getting flak for mispronouncing LL Cool J’s name and using a derogatory term when speaking of the rapper at an awards dinner on Saturday in Washington, DC. Biden’s comments came during a speech at the Congressional Black Caucus event where LL Cool J and MC Lyte were given Phoenix Awards, according to the New York Post. “Two of the great artists of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America, LL Jay Cool J, uhhh…” he stated, video footage of the moment shows.

Tucker Carlson has denied that he is launching a television show in Russia after a bizarre advertisement with his face and name popped up on Vladimir Putin's state TV. Firebrand presenter Carlson, 54, said he had no idea his likeness was even being used until it was brought to his attention by a journalist. According to BBC media monitoring expert Francis Scarr, a Russian advert showing Carlson's face said: 'The high-profile American presenter is moving to another level. Here.' It was spotted on Russia's rolling news channel Rossiya 24 - insinuating that Carlson has landed himself a new job in...

Pro-impeachment wing headed for the ‘boring’ and ‘complicated’ traps. The most powerful response to Ben Shapiro’s tired mantra of “facts don’t care about your feelings” has always been “feelings don’t care about your facts.” Most simply, strong appeals to pathos will always triumph over attempts at stone-cold, emotionless logos. But perhaps, aside from using emotional manipulation to distort the truth, the only other pitfall that is even more devastating to the “facts and logic” approach is a complete oversaturation of information, to the point that even those in pursuit of data and knowledge become either completely bored, or struggle to...

The controversial Gun Free School Zone case, where Gabriel Metcalf has been in pre-trial detention for a month, has a detention hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. Thursday morning, September 21, 2022.Russel Hart, the federal public defender for Gabriel Metcalf, asked for the hearing, citing new evidence that was not available at the first detention hearing. Shortly after Gabriel’s arrest, seemingly by an ATF/Billings Police Task Force, the hearing took place. The prosecuting attorney, Assistant United States Attorney Thomas K. Godfrey, had opposed the re-opening of the detention hearing. Godfrey indicated to Judge Cavan that he had sufficient information and that...

A man wanted for allegedly threatening the manager of a Manhattan Duane Reed with a knife while he robbed the store to the tune of $2,200 items will only be charged as a misdemeanor under new 'woke' Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's new policies. William Rolon, 43, who has a lengthy record, allegedly strolled into the Lower East Side Duane Reade in the early morning hours of Saturday, January 8 and began filling a plastic garbage bag with cold medicine and other merchandise. When a female manager approached Rolon Saturday, he brandished a pocket knife at her. 'F**k you, I'm taking...

Woke continues because its privileged creators believe “What I create for others, certainly will not apply to me.” America has been in a veritable cultural revolution since the 1960s. Nearly all our major institutions finally became woke—the administrative state, traditional and social media, universities, K-12, the corporate boardroom, entertainment, professional sports, and the foundations. So the Obama and the Biden administrations finally seemed to have achieved their aims, in what the Obamas once boasted would be the “fundamental transformation” of America into something unrecognizable by its Founders. But what they gave us was nihilism—the destruction of norms, laws, and customs....
