After delivering his State of the Union speech in the House chamber by invitation earlier this month, President Joe Biden received a less savory invitation Thursday—to testify in the House’s impeachment investigation of suspected influence peddling by the president and his family. House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., announced the invitation to Biden just before Easter weekend. Comer’s committee is conducting the impeachment investigation jointly with both the Judiciary and the Ways and Means committees. “The committee has accounted for over $24 million that has flowed from foreign sources to you, your family, and their business associates,” Comer...

The new measures aim to tackle the harm caused by hatred and prejudice but have come under fire from opponents who claim they could stifle free speech. Scotland's controversial new hate crime laws have come into force – with a Holyrood minister saying people 'could be investigated' for misgendering someone online.

On Thursday night, President Joe Biden joined former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton at a glitzy New York City fundraiser. The event raised over $26 million from 5,000 donors, breaking campaign records. The spokesperson for President Donald Trump’s campaign, Steven Cheung, called the attendees “elitist, out-of-touch celebrity benefactors.” At the event, Obama boasted that Biden deserves another term because he has “done an outstanding job.” While Clinton claimed that Biden has “been good for America and he deserves another term.”

Roman Catholic Cardinal Wilton Gregory took a swipe at President Biden's faith on Sunday, calling him a "cafeteria Catholic" for picking and choosing parts of the faith while "ignoring or even contradicting" other aspects of his adherence. Gregory, the archbishop of Washington, was asked on CBS' "Face the Nation" whether he believes Biden's long-touted Catholic roots will resonate with American Catholics in the upcoming 2024 election. "I would say that he's very sincere about his faith. But like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses dimensions of the faith to highlight while ignoring or even contradicting other parts," Gregory...

JK Rowling has warned Scotland’s new hate crime laws are “wide open to abuse” as the country’s First Minister said he was “very proud” of the legislation. The Harry Potter author, who has become a fierce critic of the Scottish Government’s stance on transgender rights, has been one of the highest profile critics of the legislation. The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act came into effect on Monday, consolidating existing hate crime legislation and creating a new offence of stirring up hatred against protected characteristics. However, women have not been given protection under the law, with the Scottish Government...

Two amendments to Article III of the Wisconsin Constitution are being voted on this week. They are pivotal for Wisconsin, arguably the Nation. Why? Neither Wisconsin’s founders nor America’s ever wanted elections run by private companies, the process influenced or worse subcontracted to private partisans. Yet, without these amendments, wealthy partisans get to call the shots. By all accounts, from 2020 press releases and tax returns to later news accounts and investigators, America’s wealthy social media mogul Mark Zuckerburg punched $400 million into 49 states during the 2020 election cycle, cleverly in September that year, to help “manage” elections. In...

If you thought March 31 was Easter Sunday, think again, heretic. And no, I’m not referring to the fact that for, Orthodox Christians, Easter falls this year on May 5. Those who celebrate Easter on March 31 are heretics from the standpoint of the Biden regime’s favored religion, which is worlds away from Old Joe’s ostentatious and hollow Roman Catholicism. March 31, you see, is the Transgender Day of Visibility.As Matt Margolis noted, Biden chose Good Friday to proclaim the big day. Matt asked: “Did he have to issue this proclamation on Good Friday? There’s no established standard that proclamations...

The current president, Joe Biden, and the former president, Donald Trump, demonstrated a sharp contrast in priorities while both men were in New York on March 28th. President Biden, joined by former Presidents Clinton and Obama, hobnobbed with fat cats and celebrities at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan for a fundraiser extravaganza, which hauled in around $26 million dollars for President Biden’s reelection campaign. Former President Trump was attending a wake about forty minutes away in Long Island for a police officer murdered by a repeat felon who should not have been on the streets in the first place.The...

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents reportedly launched an investigation in Oklahoma to look into social media posts, Fox News reported Saturday. Rolla Abdeljawad reported an unexpected visit by FBI agents concerning her social media activity, according to Fox News. The agents reportedly visited her home and inquired about her posts following alerts from Facebook. Abdeljawad, who sought to confirm the agents’ identity by asking them to display their badges on camera, shared her experience through a video uploaded by her lawyer, Hassan Shibly, on the social media platform X. “Facebook gave us a couple of screenshots of your account,”...

Author and outspoken feminist J.K. Rowling has dared police in Scotland to arrest her for criticising transgender ideology as the country’s controversial hate crime legislation came into effect on Monday. Rowling, who resides in Scotland, has warned that the leftist-separatist Scottish National Party government’s new Hate Crime and Public Order Act will have a stifling effect on freedom of speech and vowed to continue espousing her belief that men cannot become women.

Tens of thousands of people convened on Dolores Park Sunday for the annual “Easter in the Park” celebration led by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a troupe of irreverent drag nuns founded in San Francisco on Easter Sunday 1979. Virtually every inch of grass in the park’s northern half was occupied by blankets by mid-afternoon, as the Easter Bonnet competition gave way to the Foxy Mary pageant and the main act: the Hunky Jesus contest.

On Easter Sunday, an El Paso judge ordered the release of illegal migrants accused of involvement in a "border riot" when a stampede overwhelmed National Guard troops along the Rio Grande in March, the El Paso Times reported. Court officials also said that undocumented migrants will stay jailed if there is a federal immigration hold blocking their release, the El Paso Times reported. Judge Humberto Acosta made his ruling on Sunday, March 31, during an online teleconference bond hearing in which he accused the El Paso District Attorney's Office of not being ready to proceed with detention hearings for each...

President Joe Biden’s secular deputies kidnapped Christian theology to champion transgenderism on the holiest weekend for Christianity. On Sunday afternoon, Biden’s X account tweeted: “Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.”

Happy Easter Monday to our readers, listeners and viewers across the Commonwealth and Europe. On the other hand, if you're in the United States, presumably it's a big Happy Post-Transition Monday, yesterday having been officially proclaimed by the purported Leader of the Free World as Happy Transgender Day of Visibility: NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join...

James Albert Maierle was a well-known educator and sportsman born in 1942 in Calumet, Michigan. He was an enthusiastic hunter, fisherman, and woodsman. He is well known in his local area and published a few stories in hunting magazines. He died in 2022. His son related the circumstances of his father’s shooting of a black bear in self-defense in the early 1960s on the Montreal River in the upper peninsula of Michigan. The location is only a few miles from where Maierle grew up. The area was pretty wild in the early 1960s. After the major copper mine shut down...

THE TRUE THREAT posed by the WHO negotiations has been obvious since November 2022. Now would be an exceedingly good time to stop being distracted by red herrings and pay attention to THIS issue. PLEASE REALIZE THE FOLLOWING: The proposed amendments are not about mandates, lockdowns or your relationship with your doctor. The proposed amendments are NOT an attack on national sovereignty. In fact, the proposed amendments are an EXTREMELY dangerous expression OF national sovereignty. Unfortunately, requiring that foreign travelers meet national entry requirements is NOT “unconstitutional.” Such requirements would NOT be over-reach by the federal government. Such requirements would...

Former MTV star Connor Smith has been arrested in Florida for child sex crimes following a year-long search. Law enforcement tracked down Smith on Thursday at a residence in Clearwater, Florida. The officer arrested Smith, 33, on an open warrant originating from Lake County, Illinois. The warrant was issued in February 2023. Page Six reported: The former reality star went on the run after allegedly being caught interacting with an undercover officer who was posing as a minor for “several weeks” online. At the time, Illinois police claimed Smith had sent explicit videos and images of himself to the officer,...
