Just when you thought we’d had enough of Stormy Daniels, the former porn star is back on the scene in a brand spanking new documentary released just in time for the general election. The film, which details her alleged entanglement with former President Donald Trump, also comes as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg pursues a politically motivated prosecution against Trump over the Stormy Daniels affair.As if this weren’t already absurd enough, Daniels makes a questionable claim in the production: She agreed to take hush money from Trump because she thought he would kill her if she didn’t.Porn Star Stormy Daniels...

Voters in Chicago have voted against a proposed tax increase that many believe was a backdoor effort to raise money in order to support the city's growing migrant crisis. During Tuesday's primary election, voters were asked whether they would support increasing levies on high-valued real estate sales to address the problem of homelessness. The vote appears to have failed by a margin of 54 to 46 percent. The city's far-left Democratic Mayor, Brandon Johnson, had claimed that the money would be used to tackle the issue of homelessness. However, opponents pointed out that the Chicago City Council maintained the right...

In an effort to stem a flood of requests by J6ers serving time for 1512c2, the obstruction count pending before SCOTUS, DOJ and DC US Atty Matthew Graves now warn if it’s reversed and those convicted seek reduced or vacated prison sentence, the govt will ask for MORE time This is why exuberance over recent appellate court ruling overturning a sentencing enhancement for 1512c2 was unwarranted. DOJ and judges have plenty of options to extend prison time—either based on offense or “upward departures.”Make no mistake—this is Graves’ way of threatening J6ers sentenced for DOJ unlawful use of 1512c2: if you...

(DCNF)—The Department of Justice (DOJ) warned a Jan. 6 defendant Tuesday that his sentence would not be reduced, regardless of the Supreme Court’s decision in a coming case related to a statute he was charged under. Jan. 6 defendant Anthony Williams asked the court in February to grant him bond pending his appeal in light of the Supreme Court’s decision to take up Fischer v. United States, which challenges the scope of an obstruction statute used to charge him, along with hundreds of other Jan. 6 defendants. The DOJ warned in a court filing Tuesday that in spite of the...

The issue has been going on since at least 2015 when Planet Fitness revoked the membership of Yvette Cormier after she voiced concerns upon encountering a biological man identifying as a transgender woman at a Michigan location. This resulted in a lawsuit against Planet Fitness. Cormier's complaint ultimately succeeded with the Appeals Court for the State of Michigan finding that Planet Fitness violated the Consumer Protection Act and its contract with Cormier because her membership promised access to a private women’s locker room, which was not provided. This incident has fueled debates over safety, privacy and the rights of transgender...

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is not bothered by former Vice President Mike Pence’s decision not to endorse his bid for the White House. Asked about comments his former vice president and 2020 running mate made about him last week, Trump said he was not at all bothered about Pence’s decision to break his pledge to support the GOP’s eventual nominee. “I couldn’t care less,” Trump told reporters of Pence’s stance on his third White House bid as he voted in the Florida primary.

By Executive Order, the Biden Administration weaponized all agencies of the federal government to push voter registration in populations where eligibility statuses cannot be effectively tracked, like students, prisoners, and noncitizens. Then, they opened the borders to a tsunami of illegal immigrants. In just the last three years, over 10,000,000 illegal aliens have been added to the federal dole, being flown on your dime to battleground states across the country. But the Biden regime, parroted by mainstream media, are quick to stress that illegal immigrants, or as the Administration is now calling them “New Americans”, wouldn’t dare vote because they...

Let’s not pretend this is about countering communist China or protecting Americans. It’s about using CCP tactics here at home.Given all we know now about how U.S. intelligence agencies conspire with Big Tech firms and nongovernmental cutouts to spy on and manipulate U.S. citizens, together with what the Twitter Files revealed last year about how the FBI and DHS deputized social media companies to censor Americans and throttle free speech, you’d think lawmakers who ostensibly care about the First Amendment would balk at expanding the online censorship industry’s reach in the United States.But you’d be wrong. Last week in Washington...

Calvin Coolidge, long before he was president, told his state senator father, “It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin must have been channelling old Silent Cal earlier this month when he vetoed Democrat-led bills that would have required the commonwealth to rejoin the leftist-linked Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). A report from the Public Interest Legal Foundation on ERIC’s zeal to target for voter registration tens of thousands of ineligible individuals — including the deceased — as “Eligible but Unregistered” shows Youngkin’s instincts were correct. “I have been explicitly...

The woes for the mortgage market continue under President Magoo. Mortgage applications decreased 1.6 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending March 15, 2024. The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, decreased 1.6 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the Index decreased 1 percent compared with the previous week. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 1 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 1 percent compared with the previous week...

The press is once again treating Christine Blasey Ford with little journalistic skepticism as they promote her splashy new memoir.“The media coverage of this has been so one-sided, it’s been so biased. There’s been this presumption from the beginning that every allegation made against the judge was true.” So said Joe Scarborough on a fall morning in 2018, referring to the flood of bizarre sexual abuse claims made against Brett Kavanaugh. At the time, Scarborough relayed an observation from social events he attended over the weekend. “Quite a few people that we talked to, who I think a lot of...

A Russian border region being pounded by Ukrainian shelling and drones is expanding its closure of schools and colleges amid a major evacuation plan, authorities announced Wednesday, as Kyiv’s forces extend their campaign of long-range strikes that aim to put the Kremlin under pressure.

Villagers at a cemetery in Dordogne Department in southwest France were horrified that vandals painted Islamist slogans in French and Arabic on 58 graves, a church door, a World War I memorial and tomb art depicting the crucifixion. The defacement happened overnight in Clermont d’Excideuil between March 10 and March 11. A local church building near the cemetery had “Ramadan Mubarak” (“Blessed Ramadan”) daubed on its doors. Slogans within the cemetery included, “Submit yourselves to Allah,” “Happy Ramadan non-Muslims” and “Koufars,” meaning “unbelievers.” One of the grave slogans read, “France is already Allah’s,” according to British newspaper the Daily Mail....

Trump-backed businessman Bernie Moreno cruised to a quick victory in Ohio’s Republican U.S. Senate primary thanks in part to MAGA voters’ strong showing in early and absentee voting. The Associated Press called the three-way race for the Senate nomination just an hour after polls closed on Tuesday, marking a blowout win. However, while Moreno cleaned up with election-day voters, he was also very competitive in the early and absentee vote, where his top opponent, State Sen. Matt Dolan (R-OH), was expected to perform better. Kye Kondik, an election analyst and the managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University...

President Joe Biden has issued a new environmental federal regulation to begin phasing out gas-powered cars, requiring American automakers to produce Electric Vehicles (EVs) as part of his sweeping green energy agenda. On Wednesday, Biden announced the rule to require that a majority of new cars sold in the U.S. market are EVs or hybrids by 2032, the New York Times details: Nearly three years in the making, the new tailpipe pollution limits from the Environmental Protection Agency would transform the American automobile market. A record 1.2 million electric vehicles rolled off dealers’ lots last year, but they made up...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he will hold up a $1 trillion “minibus” spending package that needs to pass by the end of the day Friday to avoid triggering a partial government shutdown. “I will hold it up primarily because we’re bankrupt and it’s a terrible idea to keep spending money at this rate,” Paul told The Hill Wednesday.“The spending bills before us will lead to a $1.5 trillion deficit for the year. We’re borrowing about $1 trillion every three months. It’s an alarming pace of accumulation of debt,” he said. “My opposition to this will be based on how...

With the world still reeling from former President Donald Trump's brazen, horrifying, and not-at-all-taken-out-of-context prediction of a "bloodbath" if he loses in November, everything he has said in the past is now being scrutinized. Does he have a history of calling for violence? The Babylon Bee has put together the following list of nine other times Trump has obviously called for bloodshed: When he told an actor to "break a leg": Wishing physical pain and suffering on an innocent Hollywood entertainer is no laughing matter. When he said the chocolate cake at Mar-a-Lago was "to die for": Calling all of...

Nevada hasn't voted Republican in a presidential election since 2004. I have to admit that I'd nearly given up on the state, as hopes of being competitive there have been repeatedly shattered. But Donald Trump appears to be in a solid position to win it in November. He's led in the RealClear Politics average in Nevada since early November, with an average spread of +4.3 points. In 2020, Trump never led Biden in the RCP average there. Something has definitely changed. Naturally, Democrats have to be worried. Even though Nevada only has six Electoral College votes, those are six votes...
