E. Jean Carroll’s second defamation lawsuit closed on Friday as a New York jury determined that former President Donald Trump owes her $83.3 million... ... Despite the odd things about Carroll’s story — and a stunning lack of evidence — she was awarded tens of millions of dollars, which Trump supporters say shows just how scary the justice system has become if one is a targeted individual. Here are some facts about Carroll’s story that the establishment media do not want the public to know: 1. Bergdorf Goodman has no surveillance video of the alleged incident... 2. There are zero...

From the onset of the 2022 Freedom Convoy that January, the Trudeau Liberals did not recognize their right to legitimate protest. They falsely accused the anti-lockdown protests of being 'far-right,' courtesy of 'fabricated intelligence,' revealed the substack Public. Another scandal brews in the aftermath of the Emergencies Act ruling as intelligence agencies reportedly fabricated information to indict supporters of the Freedom Convoy. From the onset of the 2022 Freedom Convoy that January, the Trudeau Liberals did not recognize their right to legitimate protest. They falsely accused the anti-lockdown convoy of being part of the 'far-right,' and began repressing them with...

“Around 11:37 a.m., a Mexican airline reported the beginning of a disturbance due to passenger discontent on an Aeroméxico flight AM672,” according to the report. “The flight had been due to lift off at 8:45 a.m. Thursday, but because of a maintenance alert on the plane, the captain had to return to the gate for the required maintenance.” “The passengers were unhappy and one of them opened the emergency door and stepped out on the wing,” the report said. The airport said the man had been turned over to police. But dozens of fellow passengers signed a written copy of...

I argue in my recently published book, "America’s Last Stand: Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024," that “our present conflict is unprecedented in our own nation’s history and in our own lifetimes and marks the third major test, which will determine whether America survives or dies” — our previous major tests being the American Revolution and Civil War. While it was the left’s unprecedented and unlawful efforts to indict and imprison former President Trump that compelled me to make such a claim, more recent events have unfortunately reaffirmed its validity and served to exacerbate already deteriorating...

Lara Logan wrote on X that the truckers should be very concerned. “Be aware – numerous sources indicate the federal govt is planning to try make this another fake “insurrection” and go after people in the convoy the same way they targeted people for exercising their constitutional rights on January 6th..

“Well, first, I’d be shocked. That would be a boneheaded move on his part—total disaster,” Governor Abbott said. “ ... “Whatever we’ve been building, the Biden administration is now trying to attack us because of it, and we will continue to do exactly what we’re doing to expand our denial of illegal entry into the state of Texas.” Gov. Abbott pointed out that state forces were already operating at the border and that he expects more forces to come to Texas from other state National Guards. “There’ve been about ten [states] so far that have sent National Guard or other...

President Trump is now seeking to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the Georgia RICO case. Trump joined his co-defendant Michael Roman’s effort to disqualify Fani Willis over her illicit affair with a top prosecutor she hired and financially benefitted from. As previously reported, Fani Willis had an ‘improper’ romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a top Trump prosecutor in her office. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a top prosecutor she hired to go after President Trump. The motion was filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County...

Avichay Adraee, the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman, on Wednesday published rare footage of a spontaneous anti-Hamas protest which broke out in Deir al Balah, Gaza. In their protest, the Gazans called for the release of the Israeli hostages, so as to bring about an end to the Hamas-Israel war.

The official union of U.S. Customs and Border Protection released a statement on Thursday backing the Texas National Guard’s attempts to secure the southern border and slamming the Biden administration for its “catastrophic” border policies. The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), which has over 18,000 members, said that the “rank-and-file” Border Patrol agents “appreciate and respect” the measures Texas has taken to repel the record flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. under Biden. “TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other’s jobs. Period,” the NBPC said. “If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they...

TEXAS — Bubba "Boomstick" Johnson, a proud Texan and self-proclaimed protector of all things Lone Star, has declared that he's been waiting for this moment his entire life: the opportunity to finally dust off his arsenal and defend Texas if a civil war or invasion ever breaks out. For years, Bubba has meticulously curated his collection of firearms, affectionately referring to them as his "freedom dispensers." From his trusty six-shooters to his state-of-the-art assault rifles, Bubba's arsenal rivals that of a small militia - or at least a moderately armed neighborhood watch. "Oh Lord, how blessed am I," said Bubba...

A snippet from one of Martin Armstrong's earlier World Economic Conferences. Many people ask about the experience - here it is.Who is Martin Armstrong?Decades ago, Martin Armstrong paid some programmers to write that trading software for him which he calls Socrates (he never learnt how to do computer programming, has never finished any qualification).He then used that program to trade the markets with money stolen from investors. Made spectacular losses - $700 million. Covered the losses with a $3 billion Ponzi scheme.Was caught. On bail, he still stashed away $ millions worth of assets so he would have cash later....

An explosive defense motion filed in the classified documents case detailed extensive collaboration between prosecutors and top Biden officials to get Trump. But what does Jack Smith want to hide?Before the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith in November 2022, Joe Biden’s Department of Justice was in the process of conducting two separate criminal investigations into Donald Trump: his attempts to “overturn” the 2020 election and his alleged mishandling of sensitive government files. Smith took over both matters to demonstrate the DOJ’s “independence” from politics, the public was told, although he took with him prosecutors and investigators already assigned to...

If you want to know in what regard the Biden administration holds our military, look no further than a policy implemented last fall that has flown under the radar. Until last fall, the Army funded storage requests for soldiers who were deployed. That is no longer the case, according to Task & Purpose. On Oct 1, 2023, a memo was issued by Army Sustainment Command notifying soldiers that the Army would no longer store household goods or privately-owned vehicles for “soldiers deployed for contingency operations.” “We understand the burden this could potentially place on Soldiers,” Army spokesperson Sgt. Pablo Saez...

[Catholic Caucus] The Church Is Not Ruled by a PlebisciteSin does not grow sweet by majority practice; truth is not altered by a vote. The Church is not a political party.A few weeks ago, I saw in an article in The New York Times the phrase “Pope Francis’s agenda for the Church.” The author approved of that agenda and was no doubt oblivious to the fact that, unless we are talking about governance, reform of abuses, and missionary work, an agenda for the Church is the last thing a pope should have. That is because the Church is not a...

Joan Roth is the scared — and angry — face of spiraling crime on the Upper East Side. In three years, she’s been robbed and assaulted three times – part of what she says is a sign of the bad old days returning with a vengeance. “I feel really angry,” Roth, 81, said. “I feel vulnerable. Our neighborhood has really changed.” Roth, a photographer who has lived in the same rent-controlled apartment for 60 years, said her neighborhood has never quite recovered from its COVID funk. “I don’t feel safe and I want to be safe,” she said. -snip Roth...

Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to issue a stern warning concerning the possibility of a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. "Just 3 years ago, we had the strongest and safest Border in U.S. History. Today we have a catastrophe waiting to happen. It is the WORST BORDER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, an open wound in our once great Country. TERRORISTS ARE POURING IN, UNCHECKED, FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
