President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is seeking to subpoena Donald Trump and former Attorney General William Barr as he prepares to raise a defense that his prosecution on felony gun charges stems from an “unrelenting pressure campaign” by the former president and his Republican allies. In a 16-page court filing Wednesday, the younger Biden asked a federal judge to sign off on subpoenas for communications among Trump administration officials about investigating and prosecuting him. His lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said the information he is pursuing “goes to the heart of his defense that this is, possibly, a vindictive or selective prosecution...

A freeze on new NYPD recruits is among the “horrendous” budget cuts expected to come down Thursday — as the Big Apple grapples with the soaring cost of the migrant crisis, The Post has learned. In addition to axing the new police academy class, Mayor Eric Adams is expected to slash migrant spending by 20% and scale back Sanitation Department litter basket pickups, multiple sources said. “Everything is being cut.

I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure, and immobilize the...

Here is a link to a video made earlier today by the Spokesman of the IDF -- Israel Defense Force -- as he walked through a hospital that was taken under control by IDF forces today. It's just under 7 minutes.

Biden's legal defense claims that Trump put "incessant, improper, and partisan pressure" on three former DOJ officials. Hunter Biden requested on Wednesday for a federal court to subpoena documents from former President Donald Trump as well as several senior Justice Department officials as he prepares a legal defense against his gun charges. Biden's legal defense is arguing that Trump put "incessant, improper, and partisan pressure" on three former DOJ officials, including Trump Attorney General Bill Barr. The 53-year-old son of Joe Biden pleaded not guilty last month to breaking laws that forbid drug users from owning guns after he purchased...

When Artemis Langford, who stands at 6'2" and weighs in at 260 pounds, declared he was a woman and joined a sorority at the University of Wyoming, he was backed by the national policies of Kappa Kappa Gamma, which had a self-ID policy in place for males to join the women's group after saying they are female. Now, two alumni members have been removed after speaking out against the inclusion of men in the women's group. Since Langford's admittance, sisters in the...

The Secret Service reportedly found DNA from the cocaine baggie discovered in the White House on July 2 after the agency said it was unable to identify who smuggled the drug into one of the most secure buildings in the world. The reported DNA raises questions about if Americans were told the truth when the Secret Service alleged no fingerprints or DNA turned up on the baggie found in a “lobby” at the White House. According to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) filed by Fox News’s Jesse Watters Primetime, an envelope with three tubes of DNA, which Watters says...

Prosecutors say the Payette National Forest operation that ended in the shooting of a homeless man in a wheelchair was the escalation of years of frustrating dealings with a family who had camped too long on public land in Idaho. Police body camera footage from May 19 showed two ordinary-looking men — dressed in plaid and jeans — approach the Roberts trailer near the forest’s West Face Trailhead. They knocked on the door and asked Timber Roberts for help jumpstarting their vehicle. Timber agrees and backs his truck up to their vehicle, bringing it within jumper-cable distance. Unbeknownst to the...

Kim Gardner, the Soros-backed DA, was at the heart of the controversial story involving the McCloskeys, who stood their ground against a mob of violent and threatening BLM rioters at their home. Instead of addressing the mob, which threatened harm to them and their pets, Gardner targeted the McCloskeys for brandishing firearms in self-defense. This action is indicative of her approach as a Marxist Soros-backed DA, prioritizing political targets over actual criminals. Gardner’s erratic and unjust actions created a stir and captured public attention. Consequently, a special counsel was appointed in May to investigate the chaotic disaster Gardner created and...

The proclaimed rationale for President Biden's pledge of unlimited funding for Ukraine's war against Russia is to "defend democracy." This week, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that "now is not the time for elections. Now is the time for a battle on which the fate of the state depends." Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin also used the current war as a reason to postpone scheduled elections. It seems that neither side believes that elections are an essential feature of democracy. So, why is it necessary for the United States to continue to finance one side of this war? If you...
