Donald Trump threw his hands in the air and said he’d “love it” if the judge at his New York defamation trial threw him out of court for loudly ripping sex abuse accuser E. Jean Carroll as she testified Wednesday. The “Ask E. Jean” advice columnist’s lawyers twice complained that the former president was providing running commentary to his team within earshot of the jurors — including calling Carroll’s testimony “false” and grousing that “she now seems to have finally gotten her memory back.” “Mr. Trump has a right to be present here but that right can be forfeited if...

Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic died on Wednesday after suffering a heart attack the day prior, the team announced. “We are absolutely devastated by Dejan Milojević’s sudden passing,” the Warriors said in a statement. “This is a shocking and tragic blow for everyone associated with the Warriors and an incredibly difficult time for his family, friends, and all of us who had the incredible pleasure to work with him. “… We grieve with and for his wife, Natasa, and their children, Nikola and Masa.” The 46-year-old Serbian coach was hospitalized in Salt Lake City, Utah, Tuesday night after...

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's staff requested the ambulance to "not show up with lights and sirens" Don't worry his assistant is a woman who was on an island vacation when she took over for Austin.

Woke up the other morning with my better half screaming, ran into the kitchen and she was on her hands and knees on the kitchen counter due to Mickey. I have taken two down so far. I used peanut butter and Nutella to bait them. Maybe that is all, but need to be sure.

Straining to recover after a bruising defeat in Iowa, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and his allies moved on Wednesday to shake up his operation yet again, with his super PAC carrying out layoffs and the campaign signaling that it would largely bypass New Hampshire’s primary election next week in favor of competing in South Carolina. The change in strategy appeared to set up the one-on-one contest in New Hampshire that Nikki Haley has been hoping for against former President Donald J. Trump, who leads in polls but is more vulnerable in the moderate state than in socially conservative Iowa....

Georgia United Credit Union recently updated their User Agreement — you know, that wall of text that your financial institution flashes at you from time to time and which few people bother to read. The catch: If you rely on Georgia United Credit Union for your purchasing tool, like, say, a debit card, you may no longer use that to purchase firearms, ammunition, firearms parts, or accessories, along with a host of other items.

Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojević died Wednesday after suffering a heart attack at a private team dinner in Salt Lake City on Tuesday night, the team announced. “We are absolutely devastated by Dejan’s sudden passing,” head coach Steve Kerr said in a statement. “This is a shocking and tragic blow for everyone associated with the Warriors and an incredibly difficult time for his family, friends and all of us who had the incredible pleasure to work with him.” The seriousness of the situation led the NBA to postpone Wednesday’s game between the Warriors and the Utah Jazz. The...

I thought I was done with writing about Covid-19. But Covid-19 isn’t done with me—or with any of us. I’m writing this precisely four years after Chinese health officials first announced the emergence of a mysterious new form of pneumonia in the city of Wuhan. “No obvious human-to-human transmission has been observed,” the officials added in that December 30, 2019, release. (Already, the Chinese were lying.) Today, Covid cases are ticking up for the umpteenth time. And documents keep coming to light that expose how American officials and scientists similarly suppressed unsettling facts about the pandemic’s origins. While the death...

Incredible work by this independent journalist! "Can you tell us when you’re going to release Disease X? Do you already have the so called ‘vaccine’?" These Global Lunatics/Deep State are responsible for ALL the insanity in the world right now. (29 second video in the link below)https://twitter.com/BGatesIsaPyscho/status/1747371980641169439

President Joe Biden’s administration announced on Wednesday that it was designating the Houthis as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” (SDGT), which is weaker than the designation of Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) that the group had under the Trump administration. The Biden administration’s designation is somewhat of a reversal of its previous policy and a vindication of the Trump administration’s policy on the Houthis. In 2020, the Trump administration designated the Houthis as an FTO, which cut off the Iran-backed group from the international banking system. Shortly after Biden took office in 2021, his administration rescinded that designation, arguing that it...

Please pray for my father who will be having an operation tomorrow morning to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm. I pray that the operation will be successful and that the recovery will be as quick and complete as possible.

Sergey Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, thanked his North Korean counterpart, Choe Son Hui, for supporting the Kremlin's war in Ukraine, South Korean news outlet Yonhap News has reported. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lavrov hosted Choe on Tuesday to discuss bolstering ties amid reports of an arms cooperation deal between Moscow and Pyongyang. His comments underscore the Kremlin's increasing dependence on North Korea for weaponry.

Have you ever met a college admissions officer? Who does he or she remind you of? The answer is: “someone who works at the DMV.” Put nicely, they’re people who’ve done the best they could with limited options. Put cruelly, they’re midwits on a power trip. Perhaps a tad less cynical. A little skinnier. Glasses a bit higher end. But platonically speaking, college admissions officers and DMV workers emanate toward the same form: the ultimate low busybody. DMV workers afflict the immense class of drivers with their mediocrity. Admissions officers’ victims are a smaller set — people who go (or...

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) told reporters Wednesday that he expects the Senate to consider a bipartisan deal on Ukraine funding and border security next week. McConnell noted that Democrats control the Senate agenda but he stated his confidence that negotiators will unveil a deal on border security in the next few days. “My assumption is we’re likely to be on that in the Senate next week,” he announced. GOP leaders say the remaining sticking point is a disagreement over President Biden’s authority to parole migrants encountered at the southern border into the country.

The Feb. 13 special election in New York’s 3rd congressional district matters. Special elections can set the tone for a general election, create momentum for the winning party and provide an opportunity to test messages and ideas on actual voters. They also test voter enthusiasm and a party’s ability to get out the vote in a low-turnout situation. It matters especially for Republicans, as it could bolster their razor-thin majority in Congress. This is a fair fight to replace George Santos, and both parties have put forward formidable candidates. On the Republican side, Mazi Melesa Pilip is a state representative...

The January 6th event remains shrouded in mystery. Investigative platforms like Revolver have put the FBI and the regime on the defensive, raising numerous questions about federal involvement in the incident, including sketchy figures like Ray Epps and the absurd “pipe bomb” story, to name a few. Meanwhile, other media outlets and journalists are spotlighting events that took place inside the Capitol, particularly homing in on the abuse and un-American handling of the political prisoners. As it stands now, Nancy Pelosi has been sidestepping tough January 6 questions for way too long. Thankfully, The Blaze has uncovered some CCTV footage...

Explanation: Get out your red/blue glasses and check out this stereo view of another world. The scene was recorded by Apollo 17 mission commander Eugene Cernan on December 11, 1972, one orbit before descending to land on the Moon. The stereo anaglyph was assembled from two photographs (AS17-147-22465, AS17-147-22466) captured from his vantage point on board the Lunar Module Challenger as he and Dr. Harrison Schmitt flew over Apollo 17's landing site in the Taurus-Littrow Valley. The broad, sunlit face of the mountain dubbed South Massif rises near the center of the frame, above the dark floor of Taurus-Littrow to...

Accounting firm KPMG is set to move out of its $400 million namesake building, another high-profile exit from San Francisco's beleaguered downtown. The consulting and accounting giant first leased space in the 25-story office tower when the building opened in 2002. Its name hangs above the entry to the skyscraper where the company currently occupies more than 100,000 square feet. It comes as shoe store Alto prepares to exit San Francisco Centre, the city's biggest mall, next week. Businesses and residents have fled downtown San Francisco since the pandemic with groups blaming crime, homelessness and work-from-home keeping people from downtown....
