Former president Bill Clinton will be named in the Jeffrey Epstein court documents set to be unsealed this coming week. Bill Clinton was good friends with Epstein and traveled on his private jet dubbed ‘Lolita Express’ over two dozen times and according to pilot logs, underage teenagers were on the flights with Clinton. Earlier this month, it was reported that dozens of Jeffrey Epstein’s high-profile associates are in for a New Year’s surprise as they may be named in court documents set to be released in the first days of 2024. Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who previously called for...

A dormant North Korean port near the border with Russia has sprung back to life, fueling what experts say is a burgeoning trade in arms destined for the frontlines in Ukraine that is simultaneously bolstering the anemic economy managed by Kim Jong Un. Satellite imagery of the Najin port taken from October to December shows a steady stream of ships at the facility, hundreds of shipping containers being loaded and unloaded, and rail cars ready to transport goods. The activity appears to have picked up since early October, when the U.S. accused North Korea of sending munitions to Russia. The...

Former President Donald Trump vowed to build a "new and spectacular building" for the Federal Bureau of Investigations. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took one of Trump's most popular MAGA rallying cries and weaponized it against the former president. On Saturday afternoon, Trump declared that he not only wants to keep the FBI headquartered in Washington, D.C., but also wants to construct a "new and spectacular building" for the government agency. The FBI Headquarters should not be moved to a far away location, but should stay right where it is, in a new and spectacular building, in the best location in...

Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren has asked NASA to delay a scheduled launch to the Moon that could include cremated remains. Nygren says he recently learned of the Jan. 8 launch of the Vulcan Centaur carrying the Peregrine Mission One. The lander will carry some payloads from a company known to provide memorial services by shipping human cremated remains to the Moon. Nygren wants the launch delayed and the tribe consulted immediately. He noted the Moon is sacred to numerous Indigenous cultures and that depositing human remains on it is “tantamount to desecration.” NASA previously came under fire after the...

Only about a quarter of American Christians say the Bible influences their views on Israel as the Israel-Hamas war continues after the Oct. 7 attack on civilians in southern Israel killed over 1,200 and prompted an Israeli military offensive in Gaza. Lifeway Research, in collaboration with The Philos Project, conducted a survey asking 1,252 American Christians for their views on the Israel-Hamas war. The poll, conducted between Nov. 14 and 21 and released Dec. 14, has a margin of error of +/-2.9 percentage points. Respondents were asked about what has “influenced” their views about Israel and were given a list...

"And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost." "But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end." "But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if...

The Delaware computer repairman who went public with the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop says his home was "swatted" Friday night. "My home was swatted tonight, I was not home but the outstanding men and women of the Wilmington PD responded quickly and professionally," John Paul Mac Isaac posted to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, on Dec. 29. "All that was achieved was the wasted time of the Wilmington PD. NOTHING, let me repeat that, NOTHING will take me out of this fight! Cheers!" Swatting is the act of making a false report to emergency services...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he believed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas “absolutely should recuse himself” from decisions on President Donald Trump’s ballot access case, adding, “the question is, what do we do if he doesn’t?” Dana Bash asked, “Three of the sitting justices were appointed by Donald Trump and in addition to that, Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife, Ginny, texted Mark Meadows about the 2020 election, the lead up to January 6th, as you well know. Should any of the justices recuse themselves if they take this up?”

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that if former President Donald Trump was elected again, those here illegally will be deported. Partial transcript as follows: GRAHAM: Well, under our law, you’re supposed to parole people on the individual basis. They’re using humanitarian parole, a concept not even in law, to parole people at 145,000 a clip. I want to go back to the original intent of the law. I don’t want to do anything dramatic. I just want to enforce the law. The Asylum laws are being abused, let’s change them. Title 42 authority needs...

Eighty-five days and counting. At least 10 publicly acknowledged and maybe as many as 40 American citizens continue to be held hostage by Islamic Palestinian HAMAS. No update, no proof of life. From Biden, just quotes of "hope". Biden lets the US Navy be attacked daily without response or retribution. Is there no limit to Biden's surrender? Instead, he's again on vacation, this time to St. Croix.

This is a guess BUT I think the regime is doing everything it can to keep inflation under control including pumping oil, printing money, dropping interest rates, and a lot of things we don’t know about. Once the election is over, all of this will stop immediately. So if the RATs win, everything collapses at the end of the year. If Trump wins, BLM, Antifa, MS13 ect all riot PLUS we get a worse economic collapse with accelerated graft and corruption. Not a rosy outlook. I haven’t seen anyone else saying this but it seems obvious to me...

California Governor Gavin Newsom is a socialist. That means he wants the government to regulate the marketplace, telling folks what they can and cannot do. And the biggest thing they can't do is accumulate personal wealth. No, Newsom is making that very difficult for Californians, and if he's ever elected President, no one's portfolio will be safe in this country. Some backup. California entered the fiscal year 2022 with the highest budget surplus ever, close to $100 billion dollars. Enormously high taxes will do that. Then Newsom and the radical left legislature in Sacramento got down to business. Next year,...

(Dec. 29, 2023) — Well, faithful P&E readers, here we go again. Yesterday, on Dec. 28, 2023, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows – a registered Democrat and perhaps one of the most anti-President Trump, pro-progressive and biased governmental officials in the nation – issued her 34-page “decision” determining that Mr. Trump’s name would be excluded from the Maine presidential primary election ballot. As for her political preferences, this should give one a small hint. And with regard to the image of Brandon and Shenna Bellows now “going viral” on social media platforms, note that Bellows explains that “President Biden...

Yesterday I posted In these chaotic times, a brief AR-15 primer and some said that they prefer their AR-10 in .308. I suspect that what they have may actually be a LR308 which is incorrectly called an AR-10. This post is more advanced than the AR-15 primer and discusses the differences between the AR-10 and the LR308: Before we dive into the subject of differentiating different style of AR10 patterns — first, let’s make sure we all know what an AR10 actually is. The AR10, or ArmaLite 10, is a rifle designed around the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge. Developed by Eugene...
