LeBron at USC's Galen Center for son Bronny James' college debut last Sunday.

According to a new report, Joe Biden is blaming himself for the legal woes of his son, thinking if he hadn't run that this wouldn't be happening and he's prone to flipping out if anyone brings up the topic. “In private, no issue is more likely to anger or sadden President Biden than attacks on his son,” according to Axios, which describes people close to the 81-year-old president noticing that his “moods shift” when there is unpleasant news about Hunter. Few in the president’s inner circle “feel free to discuss Hunter’s situation with the president” over fears that it could...

Hunter Biden stated that he is exempt from participating in a deposition, citing the ‘illegitimacy’ of the House committee that issued the subpoena. Hunter Biden believes he is above the law. During a press conference, Hunter said he welcomed questions from the House Oversight Committee regarding their investigations into his criminal family. But there’s a catch: Hunter insists he will NOT testify behind closed doors for his deposition as required by the House Oversight Subpoena. Instead, he said he would only welcome inquiries in public. “I’m here…to ensure that the House committee’s illegitimate investigations of my family do not proceed...

The FBI and Homeland Security sounded the alarm over the possibility of “lone actor violence” that could target holiday-related gatherings and other events due to tensions from the Israel-Hamas war. The federal agencies, along with the National Counterterrorism Center, issued a public service announcement Tuesday about the heightened threat of violence this winter after issuing previous warnings in October. While the alert was not in response to a specific plot on the feds’ radar, “various foreign terrorist media organizations have called for lone actor attacks in the US,” the agencies said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it will hear an appeal that could upend hundreds of charges stemming from the Capitol riot, including against former President Donald Trump. The justices will review an appellate ruling that revived a charge against three defendants accused of obstruction of an official proceeding. The charge refers to the disruption of Congress' certification of Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory over Trump. That's among four counts brought against Trump in special counsel Jack Smith's case that accuses the 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner of conspiring to overturn the results of his election...

Fox News Political Analyst Juan Williams repeated one of President Joe Biden’s most frequent and abhorrent lies: that Biden lost a son in combat. The claim came during a segment on Fox News Sunday when Williams offered sympathy for the president, whose family is under multiple federal investigations. Biden is facing a congressional impeachment inquiry over multimillion-dollar global influence-peddling schemes run with his brother, James, and his son, Hunter. Hunter Biden was charged with nine tax-related crimes on Thursday. “I think that [Joe Biden] loves his son and lost another son in war,” Williams said. “So he’s standing by his...

A coalition of twenty Democratic attorneys general, including several from states without a prohibition on so-called assault weapons, are sounding off in support of California’s gun ban. In an amicus brief filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Miller v. Bonta, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell and the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, D.C., Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington contend that California’s ban doesn’t violate the Second Amendment because the arms that are prohibited aren’t protected by the Constitution...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then...

A history teacher at a Seattle high school allegedly gave a student a failing quiz grade after he answered that only women can get pregnant and only men can have penises. Fox News Digital received screenshots of the exams taken by two separate parents of students at the school. Question 7 of the quiz similarly asked students to identify whether the statement "only women can get pregnant" was true or false. The teacher again marked the student's answer incorrect when he said the statement was true. Several other questions asked students to answer questions like, "When someone uses 'they/them' pronouns,...

Hunter Biden announced that he will defy the House Oversight Committee subpoena to testify privately and lashed out at the “unrelenting Trump attack machine.” The son of President Joe Biden re-upped his offer to participate in a public congressional hearing instead of a private deposition, which Rep. James Comer, who is leading the investigations into the Biden Family, denied. Hunter Biden opened his comments with the Capitol in the background to assembled media, acknowledging his past mistakes before lashing out at the MAGA Republicans. “I’m here today to acknowledge that I’ve made mistakes in my life and wasted opportunities and...

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that she believes Democrats are fighting for freedoms that Republicans are taking away with book bans. The former speaker claimed books in school that have been classics “are now burned.” Wagner said, “Some of the priorities for these Republican lawmakers in a vacuum. The most egregious things really stand out. Among them their war on reproductive freedom and the most recent comments from their informal head, their front runner, Donald Trump, who wants to replace Obamacare.”

A Seattle high school with a recent history of activism is facing outrage from a parent after her 10th grader was marked wrong for saying only men have penises and only women get pregnant. The parent and her student, who remained anonymous out of fear of backlash, said the answers were given on a true-false test in an Ethic Studies World History class at Chief Sealth International High School. The student put that it is 'true' that only men have penises and only women can get pregnant on his 'Understanding Gender vs. Sex' quiz. His mother claims the student failed...

A farmer in Nebraska took social media by storm on Tuesday after he turned an 80-acre corn field into a photo of former President Donald Trump’s Fulton County mugshot. Trump’s mugshot, which was taken in August following his indictment by Fulton County’s Fani Willis, became a rallying cry for Trump supporters across the nation. The farmer used a drone to take a bird’s eye view of Trump’s mugshot in his field. Watch: DRONE VIDEO AT LINK............... As The Daily Fetched reported in August, Trump’s campaign has raised a whopping $7.1 million on the back of his mugshot. Trump surrendered himself...

Today the Supreme Court decided to hear a January 6 case, Fischer v. United States, which is HUGE!!!! This case challenges section 1512(c)(2), a provision that criminalizes the obstruction of an official proceeding.

The testimony of three university presidents before a House committee last week provoked outrage after they suggested that calls on their campuses for Jewish genocide might not have violated their schools’ free speech policies. One of them, Liz Magill, was forced to step down on Saturday as president of the University of Pennsylvania, where I am a faculty member. But their statements shouldn’t have come as a surprise. Congress could have assembled two dozen university presidents and likely would have received the same answer from each of them. This is because the value of free speech has been elevated to...

Michael Snyder, a 42-year-old Air Force veteran, suffered the unexpected heart attack on December 2 at his home in Gardner.

Officers approached the 24-year-old driver as he got out of the vehicle, but he ran into the street and was struck and killed by a passing vehicle, according to a statement from CPD.

There were people who warned that this kind of thing would start happening in America. They were vilified, marginalized, and deplatformed as “Islamophobes.” But like so many who were dismissed in recent years as “hatemongers” and “conspiracy theorists,” they were right all along. Nashville’s WZTV reported that a Muslim family was arrested Tuesday on assault charges. Nick Kadum, his wife Rawaa Khawaji, and their son John Kadum are all accused of participating in the beating and abuse of another son for the crime of converting to Christianity.The young man, unnamed in media reports, was discovered when Nashville police “responded to...
