The Biden administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to permit Border Patrol agents to cut razor wire at U.S. border with Mexico that Texas officials constructed to prevent migrant crossings. The big picture: The Justice Department's filing of an emergency motion is the latest turn in a legal stoush between the Biden administration and officials in the Republican-led state, which which follows an appeals court last month temporarily blocking the removal of the wire. Driving the news: Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar asked the justices to pause the recent ruling, saying the Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has "the...

Hamas is reeling after losing two of their most cherished leaders on the same day: military commander Saleh al-Arouri, and Harvard President Claudine Gay."This is a devastating loss for our organization and the world," said Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh while throwing a dart at a dartboard with a picture of a Jew on it. "Al-Arouri helped mastermind our glorious murder/rape party of October 7th, 2023. Claudine Gay presided over the preaching of our message Jew-hatred in America's Ivy League. This is an incalculable loss."Ismail Haniyeh then went back to his game of darts while sitting in a jacuzzi and having...

Every year, I offer you my predictions for the coming trip around the Sun, and every year, I’m mostly wrong. Oh well. Except for my Kelly Turnbull books, I don’t pretend to be Nostradamus, and in those books, I don’t want to be Nostradamus, but unfortunately, I have been. The same is true of my new novel about a terrorist attack on America! I want to be wrong. In any case, if you predicted I would be selling my books, you got that right. I wish I could say I think 2024 will be great for our country, but I...

John 1:19-28 Friends, in today’s Gospel, John the Baptist declares that he is the forerunner of Christ.Why, when we first hear of the adult John the Baptist, is he out in the desert and not in the temple, where you would expect the son of a priest to be? Well, in John’s time, the temple was mired in very messy politics.What is drawing people into the desert to see him? He is offering what the temple ought to be offering but wasn’t: the forgiveness of sins. This was the importance of John’s baptism.But here’s the odd thing: he did not...

Former President Barack Obama has secretly lobbied Harvard University officials to stick by embattled President Claudine Gay as she faces pressure to resign for giving cover to antisemitism on campus and for committing plagiarism. Obama, 62, a 1991 graduate of Harvard’s law school, privately urged the university to let Gay remain in office after she testified Dec. 5 before the House Education and Workforce Committee that calls for the genocide of Jews may be permissible under the school’s code of conduct, depending on “context,” according to a report out Friday. “It sounded like people were being asked to close ranks...

Tepper’s reaction came after rookie quarterback Bryce Young threw...

Those in control of the most powerful intel agencies will protect their assets at all costs An FBI Investigation conclusively cleared Trump years ago of any wrongdoing regarding his association with Epstein, but MSM has censored the story.

American Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who served as managing editor of Reuters from 2011 to 2016, Paul Ingrassia, has reignited the fiery debate over what it means to be a “natural born citizen” under the U.S. Constitution—a debate with significant implications for potential presidential candidate Nikki Haley. Published on American Greatness, Mr. Ingrassia, a Law Clerk, a two-time Claremont Fellow, and a member of President Trump’s National Economic Council, meticulously examined the constitutional provision that has been at the heart of eligibility controversies involving political figures from John McCain to Kamala Harris. At the core of his argument is Article II,...

Rodgers mentioned the theory about the Super Bowl logo's color choices while on 'The Pat McAfee Show' this weekThose who subscribe to the NFL script conspiracy have even more ammo now, thanks to something Aaron Rodgers pointed out while on "The Pat McAfee Show." Rodgers threw out the idea that the NFL might be hinting at the Super Bowl teams with the logos over the last few years. On Tuesday, Rodgers said he is eager to see the Super Bowl LIX logo for next season, and he hopes it features green as one of the main colors. "If the Super...

big political name has made a late entrance into the race to replace Mitt Romney in the U.S. Senate. Rep. John Curtis, a Republican who currently represents Utah’s third congressional district, announced Tuesday he is jumping into the race that already has a crowded field of Republican candidates. This announcement comes after Curtis had unequivocally said he would not run for Senate, arguing instead that he had work left to do in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Mayor Eric Adams (D) says New York City is “out of room, literally” with the arrival of more than 160,000 border crossers and illegal aliens since the spring of 2022. At the same time, though, Adams’ administration continues giving free hotel rooms to new arrivals. In an interview with FOX5 NY’s Rosanna Scotto, Adams warned again that border crossers and illegal aliens will soon be sleeping on the city streets if the rate of illegal immigration under President Joe Biden continues.

We have reached a stage in our societal collapse where everywhere you look there is a major dumpster fire. In fact, it is difficult to name a single major area of our society that has not become a dumpster fire. Unfortunately, conditions just continue to get even worse. These days we are being hit with one thing after another, and this has created a “perfect storm” that our politicians have no control over. For example, just look at the migrant crisis that we are facing right now. During the month of December alone, more than 300,000 migrants will be processed...

Hardcore woke activists and Critical Race Theory (CRT) pushers, including professor Ibram X. Kendi, raged into the void of social media on Tuesday in response to the news that Claudine Gay was resigning from her position as president of Harvard University. As Breitbart News reported on Tuesday, Gay finally announced her resignation after weeks of battling accusations of plagiarism in the wake of her botched testimony before Congress about the rise of antisemitism on college campuses from anti-Israel activists. The report noted:

A 9-minute presentation by scientist Denis Rancourt at the Christine Anderson and Eva Vlaardingerbroek “Make It Your Business” event in Ottawa on November 29, 2023 has gone viral on X formerly known as Twitter. As a scientist, Rancourt states that after three years of intense study and looking at hard data, he has been able to conclude that there was “no pandemic”, “no evidence of a particularly virulent pathogen whatsoever” and there was “nothing that was spreading that was causing death.” According to Doctor Mike Yeadon this is because “to those knowing even a little about this multi year “pandemic”...

Having condemned the Hamas terrorist organization for its brutal Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Krystal Ball, co-host of the American political podcast “Breaking Points,” figures it is only “morally consistent” to denounce Israel for what she called a genocide against “all 2.2 million citizens of Gaza, and Palestinians living in Gaza.” In the antisemitic tirade, the host doubled down in response to questions from premium subscribers about the show’s anti-Israel posture. “I don’t think you can really cover those details in a way that looks good for Israel right now if you’re being honest,” Ball said. Co-host Saagar Enjeti—who had...

All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy. – C.S. Lewis "The Sum of All Fears" (2002) is a political thriller based on Tom Clancy's novel of the same name.

The crisis begins with...

Saturday Night Live is, by nature and to some extent by design, a pressure cooker. Performers and writers are expected to compete as much as collaborate in the show’s rush toward the inviolable weekly 11:30 p.m. airtime, and, as more than one backstage personality has said over the years, the Saturday Night Live formula is not conducive to anyone’s mental health. Still, the always tension-filled SNL atmosphere only once, as far as the voluminous behind-the-scenes history tells it, ignited into actual physical violence. That was the infamous Feb. 18, 1978, episode, when former cast member Chevy Chase returned to Saturday...
