During the first California Senate debate, former baseball player turned Republican candidate Steve Garvey confronted Congressman Adam Schiff for lying to millions of Americans about Russian collusion with President Trump’s campaign. The debate, which took place Monday, featured four candidates vying for the seat left vacant by Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Adam Schiff, or “Shifty Schiff,” known for his role in the sham impeachment trials of former president Trump, faced off against World Series & 10x MLB All-Star champion Garvey, as well as fellow Democrats Katie Porter and Barbara Lee. Throughout the debate, the Democrats focused their criticism on Trump’s presidency...

Left-wing protesters in Germany called for supporters of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party to be killed during a rally against political extremism. Amid nationwide protests over the weekend, in which organisers claimed over a million people rallied against the right-wing AfD party, it was ironically the left which seemingly exposed itself as harbouring extremists. A report from the left-liberal Aachener Zeitung newspaper on Sunday hailed the local demonstration in the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Aachen against the AfD, which it claimed saw around 10,000 people attend.

More than three months after Hamas’s October 7 attack, widespread anti-Israel protests – many of which have turned violent – are continuing throughout the West. Combined with the ongoing illegal immigration crisis facing the United States and much of Western Europe, the increasingly hostile rhetoric toward Israel and Jews is renewing fears of radical Islamic extremism. On January 15 in London, England, police arrested four individuals on suspicion of terrorism offenses, later searching their homes – and then releasing the suspects on bail. The city, which is home to some 1.3 million Muslim migrants, has seen some of the most...

In his deposition last week, Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris and his lawyer invoked attorney-client privilege at least 17 times over questions related to his payments and work for Hunter Biden. According to the transcript of the testimony reviewed by Just the News, Morris said that he began representing Biden about one week after the December 2019 California fundraiser for his father, Joe Biden, who became president in 2020. The details surrounding this meeting were previously reported by Just the News. Morris’ early representation of Hunter Biden allowed him to invoke the privilege frequently, to avoid answering questions about his first...

snip: ..."This lawsuit was launched after the 2017 Kennesaw State University election hacks in Georgia. As we continue to follow this explosive lawsuit on election integrity today The Gateway Pundit looked into the FBI’s role in this operation. We can finally explain what happened over the years. Here is a timeline of the Georgia voting machine hacking scandal: In August 2016 cyber security researchers Logan Lamb and Christopher Gray discovered it was easy to access the Georgia voting databases. This included staff passwords, access to software that runs the devices, and data on their 6.7 million voters. Lamb notified KSU...

President Joe Biden’s deputies have let 6.2 million illegal migrants into the United States, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Biden’s southern inflow is more than one migrant for every two American births since January 2021. “More of those people are also being released into the United States than previously, generally through the use of parole authority or with a notice to appear before an immigration judge,” said the report, titled “The Demographic Outlook: 2014 to 2054.”

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...

According to a new bombshell report from Fox News, just shopping at popular sporting goods stores or buying a “MAGA” hat is now enough to get you on a government watch list. On January 17, Fox reported that, following the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, “Federal investigators asked banks to search and filter customer transactions by using terms like ‘MAGA’ and ‘Trump.’” In addition, the Treasury Department’s Office of Stakeholder Integration and Engagement in the Strategic Operations of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, told financial institutions that purchasing “religious texts” – like the Bible – could be an...

The Today Show suffered an awkward blunder on Monday as it's closed captions said King Charles was set to undergo 'prostitute surgery'. The highly-watched US morning show, which airs on NBC, was reporting on the king's recent surgery for an enlarged prostate. But instead of reporting about the medical procedure, the caption read the king was to have 'prostitute surgery'. The blunder was spotted by Below Deck and the Traitors US star Kate Chastain who uploaded it to Instagram and joked 'I bet AI is in charge of closed captions for the Today Show'. Last week the royal was diagnosed...

Peter Doocy has been front and center asking Karine Jean-Pierre questions she'd rather not answer from the very beginning. He appears tireless in his efforts to finally force her to tell the truth. Seems though even he has a 'breaking' point. Watch this: Doocy is fed up: "They released an illegal immigrant from Honduras who is charged with sexually assaulting a Virginia minor and production of sexual abuse material .... You guys have no idea what kind of people are coming into this country." pic.twitter.com/jUdI3TQQ3O — Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) January 22, 2024 Fed up is a nice way of...

For a while there it looked as though my semi-annual long weekend in Amsterdam would come to naught. Several days of massive snowfall made travel impossible in our part of Norway and closed down Oslo Airport for most of a day. Thanks to the snow, the usually reliable bus to Oslo pulled into the station a couple of hours behind schedule; and the airport express trains, which are never so much as a minute late, were delayed by an hour or so.There was one surprise on the express train. In every car, they have these big video screens on which...

One of the preposterous charges made against Israel by the Palestinians is that the Jewish state “harvests the organs” from dead Palestinians. This is a variant on the medieval blood libel that accused Jews of using the blood of Christian children in making matzos. Think of Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, and William of Norwich — two children whose deaths were falsely attributed to Jews wanting to use their blood, which led to pogroms being unleashed against local Jewry in medieval England. But the Palestinian charge was apparently not preposterous enough for the Washington Post, which reported the charge as...

Remember the massive bank bailout of “subprime” mortgage securities back that resulted in the Dodd-Frank banking legislation of 2010? Yes know, where they promised NO MORE BANK BAILOUTS EVER??? Particularly if Disease X in unleashed and we start shutting down economies and schools again. Will we see ANOTHER bank bailout?? Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick spoke with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on the sidelines at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week. He offered a bleak outlook on the commercial real estate sector, warning a “very ugly” two years is ahead. “Commercial real estate is experiencing a...

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley wrist-flicked the idea of former Gov. Christ Christie’s (R-NJ) endorsement on the eve of the New Hampshire primary. “At the end of the day, you don’t want all of those politicians’ endorsements,” Haley told the far-left NewsNation of Christie Friday. “That’s part of the problem. You want people who actually move the ball.” Haley added she has “plenty” of campaign cash to remain in the race. She added, “I don’t need” Christie’s endorsement.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. (KTVI) – Freezing rain coated streets across the St. Louis region with ice Sunday night into Monday, resulting in several car accidents and ER trips for people attempting to navigate the dangerous conditions in their vehicles. Even first responders were not immune from Mother Nature’s wrath, as videos recorded Monday morning captured the moment a firetruck from the Rock Community Fire Protection District spun out of control and nearly slammed into homes in a Jefferson County subdivision
