"Donald Trump is weak and desperate-both as a man and a candidate for President. He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn't have. His campaign can't raise money, he is uninterested in campaigning outside his country club, and every time he opens his mouth, he pushes moderate and suburban voters away with his dangerous agenda. America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump."

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said Monday on “Morning Joe” that she hopes NBC will reconsider its decision to hire former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel. Co-host Joe Scarborough said, “Former RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel was on Sunday’s ‘Meet the Press,’ her first appearance since NBC News hired her as a political analyst. We were inundated with calls throughout the weekend about NBC’s decision to hire Ron McDaniel. We learned about it on Friday in the press. We weren’t asked for our opinion on the hiring. If we were we have strongly objected for several reasons, including but not limited...

The $464 million judgment “still stands” against former President Donald Trump, a spokesperson from New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office responded to Monday’s court ruling. The five-panel New York appeals court ruled Trump could post a bond “in the amount of $175 million” to cover the judgment. The court also delayed enforcement of the $464 million judgment by ten days. “The $464 million judgment — plus interest — against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands,” the spokesperson said.

Scarlet Blake was jailed for 24 years (Image: Newsquest) The BBC have been flooded by complaints about a report on a murderer who led a man to his death and livestreamed the killing of a cat months before. Scarlet Blake, a transgender woman, copied a Netflix “true crime” killer when she skinned a cat and placed it in a kitchen blender while live-streaming herself on the instruction of her American lover, before moving on to murder. Blake was jailed for 24 years. The BBC reported on the case on February 18 this year, but in its broadcast on the one...

Watchdog group Judicial Watch is suing to make public the 911 call and arrest reports associated with 22-year-old Laken Riley’s murder in Athens, Georgia, in February — allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton announced a Georgia Open Records Act lawsuit against the University of Georgia (UGA) Police Department to get the 911 call made by Riley as she sought to fend off Jose Antonio Ibarra, the Venezuelan illegal alien charged with her murder. The lawsuit also seeks to make public the UGA Police Department’s initial arrest report and initial incident report of Ibarra.

Top doctors are warning that they are diagnosing an unprecedented amount of healthy young people with cancers, which are typically seen in older people. Specialist clinicians have reported much larger numbers of young and healthy people developing cancers.

The Biden administration is perplexed by what it views as a major overreaction by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel a planned Israeli delegation to Washington in response to the US allowing a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire and hostage release to be adopted, according to a US official. Briefing a small group of reporters, the official speculates that the move by Netanyahu had more to do with Israeli domestic politics. US President Joe Biden has no plans to call Netanyahu about the cancellation nor did Netanyahu call Biden about it in advance, the official adds.

The FBI is seeing a growing problem of false emergency calls designed to trigger a significant police response. These false reports of hostage situations, kidnappings, and bomb threats put both first responders and innocent people in jeopardy. At least 600 people were victims of swatting since last year, according to FBI data. Swatting even led to an innocent Kansas man being killed by responding officers. FBI Special Agent Siobhan Johnson said the bureau has created a special unit of 700 individuals from 350 law enforcement agencies across the country to collect data to identify patterns and solutions. The FBI created...

Adult film star Stormy Daniels says she signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for which she was paid $130,000 "because I was terrified I could be killed if I didn't. Other people who knew things about politicians have ended up dead. Both Seth Rich and Vince Foster were shot under mysterious circumstances." Daniels is slated to testify in Trump's election interference trial before Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Bragg alleges that voters in 2016 we defrauded when NDAs Trump negotiated to avoid public embarrassment "were essential information needed to assess Trump's fitness for office." Despite the fact that NDAs are legal...

A self-proclaimed “vaping addict” is calling for the devices to be banned after her right lung collapsed twice and she suffered permanent scars. “You never think this type of thing will happen to you — but it happened to me. It felt like my lung was on fire,” Wisconsinite Karlee Ozkurt, 20, told SWNS. “I fell into the trap of thinking vaping was cool,” Ozkurt confessed. “But it’s stupid. I didn’t realize until it was too late.” Ozkurt’s plea follows a recent study that found that 11.3% of American high school students reported using e-cigarettes in the past 30 days...

Using taxpayer money to fund such controversial initiatives is a blatant misuse of public funds. Children should not be subjected to irreversible medical procedures such as sex change surgery and puberty blockers without thorough consideration and understanding of the long-term consequences. It's appalling that a state representative would prioritize pushing a divisive agenda over the well-being and safety of our children. This must be met with vehement opposition and calls for accountability!

– Illinois House Republicans are both condemning and praising a recent federal judge ruling about illegal immigrants being able to carry firearms for protection. Earlier this month, Northern District of Illinois federal Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled in favor of Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, a foreign national in the u.S. illegally who was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. She said the law violates the Second Amendment as applied in this one case. “The Court finds that Carbajal-Flores’ criminal record, containing no improper use of a weapon, as well as the non-violent circumstances of his arrest do not support a finding...

Prior to Saturday night, only five wrestlers had ever won four national titles. By Saturday’s end, the list had grown to seven. Aaron Brooks and Carter Starocci won their fourth national titles only three matches apart from one another. The two cemented themselves in history since they were also the first set of teammates to win four NCAA titles in the same year. Starocci was the first to achieve four titles by a matter of minutes, knocking off Ohio State’s Rocco Welsh 2-0. Brooks quickly followed suit with a 6-1 decision over NC State’s Trent Hidlay. Starocci and Brooks, who...

The U.S. Senate has become more polarized during President Joe Biden’s tenure, with Democrats and Republicans increasingly playing the role of hard-liners even though leadership on the Republican side of the aisle remains moderate, according to a new study from the CPAC Foundation’s Center for Legislative Accountability. The group assigns scores to lawmakers based on how often they took the more conservative position — Democrats voted the conservative position only 2% of the time, whereas Republicans took the conservative position only 80% of the time — a far cry from the 98% that would be expected if Republicans were the...

A “greedy and grotesque” LA woman has been sentenced to 20 years behind bars for fraudulently obtaining real-estate property in a multimillion-dollar squatting scheme that included dismembering and disposing of a body. Caroline Joanne Herrling, 44, of West Hills was sentenced Friday to 240 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $3,887,051 in restitution for the elaborate racket, the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said in a statement. “This defendant’s misconduct was both greedy and grotesque, causing profound pain to the victims and their loved ones,” US Attorney Martin Estrada said.

Donald Trump was granted a partial reprieve as an appeals court drastically cut the $454 million bond he was required to post in his New York civil fraud case Monday — and the ex-president said it would be his “honor” to put up the lower amount. A five-judge panel reduced the massive amount to $175 million — a cut of nearly 62% — and gave Trump 10 days to come up with the funds, according to a brief decision handed down by the Appellate Division, First Department, on Monday morning. “It will be my honor to post, and we’ll post...
