Yet another survey is showing former President Donald Trump garnering above 50 percent in Iowa, exactly one month ahead of the January 15 Iowa caucuses.The latest Iowa State University/Civiqs poll showed over half of the respondents, 54 percent, choosing Trump as their first choice candidate.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose campaign has consistently claimed success in the Hawkeye State, falls 37 points behind Trump with 17 percent support. That reflects a one-point drop over the last month and serves as further evidence that Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds’ (R) endorsement of DeSantis did little to nothing to boost his status in the...

DES MOINES, IA — Christians in Iowa and across the nation are outraged after a Democrat statue was unveiled at the state's Capitol Building."I believe in freedom of speech and religion, but this just goes too far," said Gov. Kim Reynolds to reporters. "Sick, disturbing, Democrat displays have no place in the house where state laws are passed. I'm horrified."Sources say a local Democrat non-profit is responsible for the frightening statue, which they say is a true representation of everything Democrats proudly stand for. "We have a right to express our Democratic views," said a spokesperson for the group. "We...

Is the Deep State Mafia Setting up a Massive Cyber Attack False flag on the American people that will Disrupt the 2024 Election? We are increasingly seeing news of potential cyber-attacks, perhaps coincidentally, or maybe not, since the Netflix release of the apocalyptic movie, “Leave the World Behind,” which was the topic of an article published just a few days ago on the Expose. Notably, this last week we have been told that a “cyber attack” seemed to shut down half the internet, with Banks and even Rumble being affected. This is a scenario that the founder of the World...

Unpaid medical debt will no longer appear in New York residents’ credit reports under a bill signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday. The law prohibits credit agencies from collecting information about or reporting medical debt. The law also bans hospitals and health care providers in the state from reporting such debt to the agencies. New York is the second state after Colorado to enact such a law. A similar nationwide measure is being considered by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “Medical debt is such a vicious cycle. It truly hits low-income earners, but it forces them...

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL — Emergency sirens sounded in Jerusalem on Saturday as Hamas terrorists fired a barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip at Israel’s capital city. It was the first salvo of rockets aimed at Jerusalem since Oct. 30 and caught residents completely off guard. At least three rockets were shot down by the Iron Dome system. Sources tell ALL ISRAEL NEWS that two additional rockets landed in the area of Ramallah, the administrative capital of the Palestinian Authority. Another Hamas rocket apparently landed in a Palestinian village about four kilometers (about 2.5 miles) from Ramallah. This may mark the...

Nadia Matar, the co-chair of the Sovereignty Movement (Ribonut.co.il), visited the Israel365 office this week with a shockingly uncharacteristic display; a Palestinian flag. An outspoken advocate for Jewish sovereignty in the Biblical heartland, Matar rejects any attempts to establish an unprecedented “Palestinian state” in Judea and Samaria. When pressed, she explained the display: “This was waived by the Palestinian Authority in the early 90s when the agreements were signed in Bethlehem,” Matar explained. “The PA was hosting a pastor from South Africa and they displayed this flag as he spoke. He obviously didn’t know Arabic, and didn’t know what was...

Gideon Levy, an Israeli journalist for Haaretz, called on "international powers" to enter the Gaza Strip Thursday, while he participated in the TRT World 2023 forum in Istanbul, Turkey. His calls reportedly were for international powers to enter the strip to put a ceasefire in place. According to a statement made by Levy, "There must be a ceasefire in the current war as soon as possible, and some international powers need to enter Gaza for that to happen." "The Israeli media and international media should not be put in the same equation in terms of how they reflect what is...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he expects that if former president Donald Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination, were to lose the first Republican voting contests, in Iowa and New Hampshire, he won't accept the results. "He will say it's stolen no matter what. He will try to delegitimize the results. He did that against Ted Cruz in 2016," DeSantis said, referring to Cruz's victory in the Iowa caucuses. "I don't think there's been a single time he's ever been in competition for something, where he didn't get it, where he has accepted [it]," DeSantis added. "I think that...

It was a shock to see the Insurrectum in the Hart Senate Building in which an aide to Senator Ben Cardin, Aidan, got his Maese Czeropskied. However, that video was recorded by the Mounter filming Aidan, the Mountee.So what about the official surveillance cameras which are all over the buildings on Capitol Hill? Did they not happen to be on in that chamber? If so, what did the Capitol Hill police do with that recording of an Insurrectum? Did they just avoid taking any action because the Insurrectum involved the aide to a Democrat Senator?

Ukraine is developing a “drowning not waving” problem. It is struggling to say clearly how badly the war is going. Giving a candid public assessment of how poorly a conflict is going can be an unwise move as it can result in morale and support draining. After Obama boosted troops in Afghanistan, public support declined over the years, in part because of a lack of realism about how the war was going.

A Democratic Senator deserves to be in some serious hot water after one of his staffers was caught engaging in a highly inappropriate and explicit act in the halls of Congress. The Spectator broke an explosive story Friday that a young male staffer for Maryland Senator Ben Cardin engaged in multiple graphic sex acts with his older boyfriend in the Hart Senate Office Building. The news site accessed the man’s X account to obtain the footage. Yes, he was showcasing X-rated pornography for the entire world to witness. Here is the report from the Spectator: The so-called hallowed Halls of...

The typical rules of sustainability do not apply when it comes to choosing the most environmentally friendly Christmas tree. … Here is why real Christmas trees are better for the environment than fake trees: Christmas tree farms help to produce oxygen and sequester carbon …The tree is then grown for seven to 10 years before it is harvested, and during that time it is sequestering carbon and releasing oxygen….Purchasing at a Christmas tree farm also bolsters the local economy, as most tree farms are family-owned, Chastagner said. Artificial tree production has a high carbon footprint …The production of one artificial...

Like the spaghetti western “The Good, The Bad And The Ugly,” Bidenomics has had similar effects on financing. Some good, some bad and a lot of uglies. The good! For investors like pension funds the own US Treasuries, inflation has led The Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. This is good for investors holding short-term debt. The Bianco Fixed Income Total Return Index is soaring!! The Bad: Well, the flip-side of the same coin is that debt refinancing costs have soared. The Ugly. There are many contenders for losers under Bidenomics and current Fed (garbled) policies. But I choose …...
