A syphilis epidemic has broken out in the US and clinics say its a struggle to get antibiotics. The antibiotic treatment for the sexually transmitted disease is running low across the United States while the number of infections has risen to high levels. This has prompted dozens of public health groups to ask the White House to intervene.

Steve Bannon invited Tea Party Patriots founder Jenny Beth Martin on the War Room on Wednesday morning as Republican lawmakers continue to vote for House Speaker. The American people want Jim Jordan as Speaker. The RINOs and DC insiders want an ‘old bull’ to take over the speakership. Steve Bannon broke this news during their conversation. Lobbyists are reportedly buying off RINOs for their votes. Steve Bannon: I have spies everywhere. Folks were calling me last night from the Capitol Grill, which is the worst of the worst, and the lobbyists were literally walking around cutting deals with people at...

A Jan. 6 defendant who smashed a Capitol window with an ice ax and a giant cardboard tube before she used a bullhorn to instruct rioters on how to "take" the building — and who recently received a personalized hat from former President Donald Trump — was sentenced to more than four years in prison Tuesday.

Burt Young, a former boxer who was in Sylvester Stallone‘s corner as his brother-in-law Paulie in the six Rocky films and received a supporting actor Oscar nomination for his turn in the original, has died. He was 83. He died on Oct. 8 in Los Angeles, his daughter, Anne Morea Steingieser, told The New York Times Wednesday.

A mere 2,100 migrants in the Big Apple’s care have applied for work permits — with not a single one yet to receive federal approval, city officials admitted Wednesday. City Hall also still has no solid figure for how many of the more than 40,000 adult asylum seekers it is housing are even eligible to legally work here, officials conceded at a city council hearing. The revelation frustrated even Mayor Adams’ fellow Democrats on the council. “This migrant strategy is going nowhere fast: We have to secure the border,” Council Member Robert Holden (D-Queens) said. So far, the city’s migrant...

A year after moving into the Washington, D.C., home he spent about $25 million to build, Fox News anchor Bret Baier said his family is relocating to Palm Beach, Fla., and he is putting the house on the market for $31.9 million If it fetches its asking price, the home would set a record for the city, said listing agent Daniel Heider of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, who is marketing the home with colleague Jaclyn Mason.

A transgender man has said they are being forced to flee Florida because of anti-LGBTQ laws. Brave Rory Richards, from Alachua County, has said state laws mean he is now unable to be prescribed gender-affirming care. Senate Bill 254 was passed by state lawmakers earlier this year and was signed by Governor Ron DeSantis. It stops transgender treatment for anyone under the age of 18, while adults like Rory, 28, have to give consent to treatment and have a physician with them. The law means it can be difficult for transgender patients to get in-person appointments because the care is...

Russian President Vladimir Putin has thrown an unpromising invitation to the US President Joe Biden for a cup of tea in Moscow. Putin's purported invite came a day after Ukraine attacked Russian targets with missile system covertly supplied to Kyiv by Washington. These long-range missiles are known as ATACMS or Army Tactical Missile System and were designed during the end of the Cold War for deep-strike missions on priority targets detrimental to the American interests. Putin invited Biden "for pancakes and tea" after holding talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing. If Russia has lost the war, why do...

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier Wednesday, Jim Jordan lost a second bid for Speaker after 22 RINOs voted against him in a jealous fit. This marked the second time Jordan failed to achieve the necessary votes to become Speaker thanks to Republicans not sticking together. Their constituents responded to this betrayal by melting the phone lines and sending email messages demanding they reverse their illogical opposition to the Ohio conservative and ardent Biden opponent. Some of these Jordan-hating RINOs instead took to social media to lash out at We the People for daring to criticize their stances. Notice a...

Whether you grew up watching reality law enforcement programs or fictional mafia movies, there’s one thing everyone knows: When a known hit man murders a stranger, the odds are at least ten to one that he was paid to do it. Find the person who paid him, and you’ve identified the real responsible party. This doesn’t just go for individual crimes, either. The same principle applies on the grand scale. On Oct. 7, 2023, a horde of Islamofascist terrorists known as Hamas launched simultaneous, carefully coordinated attacks on Israel. Hundreds of rockets were fired into civilian communities in Israel. Crowds...

Natalee Holloway was beaten to death on a beach in Aruba and her body pushed out to sea after refusing the advances of the chief suspect in the 2005 killing, who admitted to the murder before pleading guilty Wednesday to extorting money from the missing teen's mother. Although Joran van der Sloot isn't charged in Holloway's death, his confession may finally resolve a case that has captivated the public's attention for nearly two decades, spawning extensive news coverage, books, movies and podcasts.

Why is Whoopi Goldberg praising Pope John XXIII and bashing the Latin Mass?The radical feminist's comments after visiting Pope Francis were strange considering her history of abortion and her contempt for the Catholic Church.Oddly enough, Goldberg thanked the late John XXIII, who died in 1963, for his efforts to change the church as well.“For me as a little kid, [John XXIII] allowed the sisters to come out of the very heavy, big habits that they were wearing so that they looked like people — so you could talk to them,” she told Vatican News.“And he loved music that different people...

Women’s lingerie chain Victoria’s Secret is reportedly pulling back from its recent woke ad campaigns featuring obese models, transgenders, and anti-American gay soccer star Megan Rapinoe after sales plummeted. In 2021, the sexy underwear company moved away from what it called a “hyper-sexualized” image and dove face-first into a woke remake of its brand. But apparently, the results of this rebranding was a steep loss of revenue, Fox News reported. The rebranding kicked off in July of 2021 when the company named Rapinoe and transgender model Valentina Sampaio its brand ambassadors. At the time, hard-core, left-wing activist Rapinoe had blasted...
