On the morning of February 7, 2024, when Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley appeared at the Wild Goose Tavern in Costa Mesa, Calif. for a “meet and greet” event, supporters of President Donald Trump showed up to meet her and greet her in their own way. Carrying banners, placards and flags, they sang Steam’s 1969 hit “Kiss Him Goodbye” and chanted slogans calling on her to drop out of the presidential race, expressing support for her archrival Vivek Ramaswamy and for building the border wall.

White House officials told NBC that President Joe Biden is planning to use his presidential authority to curb migration in the run-up to the 2024 election. The admission concedes the Republicans’ primary claim in this month’s partisan political conflict over the border: that Biden’s choice not to use his presidential authority has caused his vast and costly inflow of more than 6 million migrants since January 2021. The NBC report said: The Biden administration is considering taking executive action to deter illegal migration across the southern border, according to two U.S. officials. … The plans have been under consideration for...

It’s been obvious to many of us for a long time, but it’s now grown impossible to ignore. Answering a question about hostage negotiations on Tuesday, a frail Biden was plainly confused and disoriented, mumbling and pausing, even unable to recall Hamas’ name: “There is some movement, and I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna … Let me choose my words: There’s some movement, there’s been a response from the, uh … There’s been a response from the opposition, but, um … ” Then a reporter helped out: “Hamas?” Biden grabbed on: “Yes, I’m sorry, from Hamas.” Biden’s been having “senior...

What happened on Building Number 7?” He says we need to question everything we’ve been told, including about the assassinations of the Kennedys, MLK, and others.

During a tour he conducted at one of the bases of the Intelligence Division in the center of the country, the Minister of Defense presented an envelope containing $20,000 in cash: "Sinwar takes care of himself first of all, he became a fugitive terrorist"... Nir Dvori | N12| Published 16:58 08.02.24. "Out of millions of dollars - one million goes to Sinwar, out of tens of millions he pockets what he needs. Take for example this envelope that is specially intended for him and his family - cash, twenty thousand dollars," the defense minister revealed. Gallant also emphasized during his...

Last week, a court in Hong Kong ordered that Evergrande, China’s massive property developer, must be liquidated. Real estate accounts for about one-quarter of China’s GDP, and Evergrande isn’t the only troubled part of the Chinese real estate sector. While I’d always like to see China constrained, not only is a collapsing China dangerous, but real estate collapse also reminds us of what’s happening domestically. Business Insider reported on Evergrande’s liquidation, which has long been expected and which will be carried out in an orderly fashion. The assets are valued at $245 billion (which I suspect is inflated), while the...

President Biden on Wednesday mixed up which German leader he spoke to at a recent Group of Seven (G7) summit, the second time in a week he has mistakenly recounted meeting with a dead European leader. Biden told donors at a New York fundraiser a story about his trip to his first G7 meeting after taking office, when he declared “America’s back.” “And the president of France looked at me and said, ‘For how long?’ I never thought of it this way,” Biden said. “Then, Helmut Kohl of Germany looked at me and said, ‘What would you say, Mr. President,...

Daily Readings from the USCCBSoon a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him. She came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter. Mark 7:25–26A parent’s love is powerful. And the woman in this story clearly loves her daughter. It is that love that drives this mother to seek out Jesus in the hope that He will free her daughter from the demon who possessed her. Interestingly, this woman was not of the Jewish faith. She was a Gentile,...

Today, Joe Biden is cracking down on manufacturing, but I bet he doesn’t have the scientific data to give credibility to the new policies, but he doesn’t care. He is bending over for the green pushers. Here’s this, from Fox News:Biden’s latest climate rules crack down on manufacturing, ignoring industry warnings of economic devastationBiden admin’s actions will ‘grind permits to a halt for a large portion of our country’The Biden administration finalized regulations severely tightening restrictions on fine particulate matter that the manufacturing and energy sectors are legally allowed to emit, an action that industry said would have devastating economic...

In a recent MSNBC interview with Alex Wagner, twice-failed presidential candidate and Russia collusion hoaxer Hillary Clinton expressed her disdain for Tucker Carlson’s announcement of his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling him a “useful idiot” and comparing him to a “puppy dog.” Clinton’s comments came during a segment with MSNBC’s Wagner Tonight, where the conversation quickly turned to Carlson’s recent trip to Moscow. Alex Wagner: “Tucker Carlson is in Moscow right now interviewing Vladimir Putin, the first American, I’ll say, journalist, to interview Putin since the war in Ukraine began. What does that tell you about Tucker Carlson...

Two migrants were collared for a rash of moped raids where they snatched jewelry from unsuspecting New Yorkers, law enforcement sources said – as the number of scooter-borne robberies explodes citywide. Luis Tovar Pacheco and Alvaro Martinez — Venezuela citizens living in the Bronx — were busted after a domestic violence complaint at Pacheco’s Laconia Avenue, police sources told The Post. The arrests come on the heels of a Monday bust that locked up two other migrant men allegedly involved in a separate thieves’ ring that’s been stealing people’s cellphones right out of their hands, then hacking the devices and...

At least six people, including children, are unaccounted for, following a house fire and shooting that wounded two police officers in East Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, officials said. “Our fear is there may be multiple people inside that home who have died," Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said. "We don’t know yet whether or not we can confirm or deny that until we get inside and methodically go through the debris that that house is now.”

An Indiana State Police investigation into potential petition fraud by a volunteer for Democrat presidential candidate Dean Phillips’ campaign continues in St. Joseph County, where the local Democratic Party leader was convicted a decade ago on a petition forgery scheme. St. Joseph County Clerk Amy Rolfes told The Federalist that she and her staff late last month discovered hundreds of what appeared to be fraudulent petition signatures and addresses. Rolfes alerted state elections officials and the State Patrol, which last week launched an investigation. “They are making progress,” Rolfes said. “I know it’s not sitting. They’re taking it very seriously.”...

Feeling satisfied with your life? If you answer “no” then you have plenty of company. Less than half of Americans say they are “very satisfied” with the way things are going in their personal lives, a Gallup poll released Thursday revealed, with the disappointment level in Biden’s America hitting such a low figure for just the third time in more than two decades. The 47 percent of U.S. adults expressing high satisfaction with their lives has edged down three percentage points over the past year and is only one point higher than the 2011 record low for the trend under...

A Houthi-run court in Yemen has sentenced 13 people to public execution on homosexuality charges, a judicial source said Tuesday, as human rights groups decried a rise in abuses by the Iran-backed rebels. The sentences were handed down in Ibb, a province controlled by the Houthis whose attacks on Red Sea shipping since November have prompted retaliatory strikes by the United States and Britain. Three others were jailed on similar charges, according to the judicial source, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press. Another 35 people have been detained...

BRUSSELS — The world just experienced its hottest January on record, continuing a run of exceptional heat fueled by climate change, the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said on Thursday. Last month surpassed the previous warmest January, which occurred in 2020, in C3S’s records going back to 1950. The exceptional month came after 2023 ranked as the planet’s hottest year in global records going back to 1850, as human-caused climate change and the El Nino weather phenomenon, which warms the surface waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean, pushed temperatures higher. Every month since June has been the world’s...
