Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker said the FBI wants him to self-surrender to the agency Friday morning in Dallas over his January 6 reporting. What are the details? Baker told Blaze News he's been instructed to turn himself in at the agency's field office at 7 a.m. wearing "shorts and sandals" — which he said signals that the plan likely is to go for "humiliation" and place him in an orange jumpsuit, handcuff him, and do the "prisoner transport routine." He added that after he's taken to the Dallas courthouse, he'll appear at a 10 a.m. hearing before a...

The Alabama Supreme Court decision is one of the morally clearest rulings of the decade. As it rightly asserts, unborn children are “children” and deserve appropriate legal and ethical protections. Unfortunately, many Christians—including those who consider themselves “pro-life”—are lacking in similar moral clarity. …In December 2020, a patient at an Alabama hospital wandered into the fertility clinic through an unsecured doorway. The patient then entered the cryogenic nursery and removed several embryos. As the court notes, “The subzero temperatures at which the embryos had been stored freeze-burned the patient’s hand, causing the patient to drop the embryos on the floor,...

So much for Biden's protestations about all of these Trump prosecutions not having anything to do with politics ... Back in 2019, when Joe Biden was campaigning for president in Georgia, he loudly gave his 'word as a Biden' that he wouldn't dream of prosecuting President Trump. “Look, I would not direct my Justice Department like this president does. I would let them make their independent judgment,” Biden said during the fifth Democratic debate in Atlanta. Turns out he had something far sleazier in mind. According to Wendell Husebo at Breitbart News: The Biden administration planted a Democrat operative inside...

The homicide rate in Venezuela has dropped like a rock. The numbers are shocking, actually, in how high they remain and how much they have fallen. More than a 25% drop in about a year, according to the Venezuela Violence Observatory. Suicides are up, though, which isn't such good news. The explanation for this sudden drop in the murder rate doesn't require a great deal of research. All you need to do is read the news and you will see story after story about Venezuelan illegal immigrants committing crimes in the United States. (Bloomberg) -- Venezuela’s rate of violent deaths...

Key Points: Tesla stock is down 21% in 2024 so far, and it's down 52% from its all-time high. Growth in Tesla's electric vehicle deliveries is decelerating. Tesla has a plan to reignite growth, but there are no short-term fixes for this problem. The electric vehicle giant isn't growing like it used to. Tesla (TSLA 1.81%) was the world's largest electric vehicle (EV) company by sales until the fourth quarter of last year when China-based BYD outsold it for the first time. Tesla once had the EV market almost entirely to itself, but now, it's grappling with a tsunami of...

Remember when Trump said countries were emptying their prisons and sending them to us? Remember the reaction? Trump claimed that South American countries are emptying their prisons and “mental institutions” and sending those people to the U.S., but immigration experts tell us there is no evidence of that happening.

Former Democratic National Committee Chair Howard Dean said in an interview that aired Tuesday that President Biden could “beat the daylights” out of former President Trump in a pushup contest. In an interview on MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber,” Dean said Republican candidate Nikki Haley’s best hope at the GOP presidential nomination would be if Trump suffers a health problem and cannot continue in the race. “Haley’s hope has to be that she can present herself well as an alternative to Trump so that the convention can accept her should either Trump have a health problem, which he’s certainly...

Russia is deepening its ties with global forces of destabilization, chiefly Iran, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, told the General Assembly on Monday.

An audibly distressed outgoing chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) Ronna McDaniel bid farewell to staffers during a Wednesday morning all staff meeting. McDaniel is stepping down as former President Donald Trump openly endorses a new leadership team to head the committee into the 2024 election cycle. “We’ve gone through a lot these past four years or seven years,” she said. “We had everything against this building, especially people in our own side. And that’s the most unfortunate part about it.”

"Sweden will bring the strategic depth needed for launching air operations and missiles against Russian operations, but also be a difficult target across the Baltic Sea," he said.

The corrupt Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) opened itself up to incredible ridicule online with a post boasting about combatting organized retail theft. As Gateway Pundit readers know, looting has become a national crisis thanks to far-left prosecutors in major cities refusing to prosecute retail theft crimes in the name of “social justice.” Businesses from San Francisco to Washington D.C. are either closing or moving because the young thieves keep stealing their items while law enforcement does nothing. The hard truth is primarily young people of color are committing retail thefts as part of organized flash mobs, though the media...
