The senators claimed the reason for the State Department's interference was because of ongoing negotiations related to the Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal, which former President Barack Obama signed in 2015. Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson unveiled evidence Wednesday that former Secretary of State John Kerry's State Department "actively interfered" with the FBI's attempts to arrest people suspected of being in the United States illegally to support Iran's efforts to create weapons of mass destruction. Whistleblowers allegedly told the senators and shared unclassified documents with them that supported their claims, and showed that the Justice Department and FBI...

[OFFICIAL.] Grant's Flank Movement so far Successful-Advices from Gens, Canby and Sherman-Nothing from Butler. WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, May 22 -- 10 P.M. To Major-Gen. Dix: On Friday morning, Gen. GRANT commenced a movement for the purpose of compelling LEE to abandon his position at Spottsylvania (the details of which, for obvious reasons, should not be made public.) It has thus far progressed successfully. LONGSTREET's corps started South at one o'clock on Friday night, an hour and a half after HANCOCK moved. EWELL's corps followed LONGSTREET last night. The indications are that the rebel army has fallen back beyond the North...

Are head transplants really part of the medicine of the future – and do we want them to be? On May 21, startup BrainBridge unveiled its concept for a world-first head transplant system, promising to combine artificial intelligence with the latest in robotics to literally remove a human head and put it on a new body. If everything works as intended, once the head is in place, the person will apparently be able to get up and go about the rest of their life with a brand-new set of healthy limbs and organs. Sounds fantastical? Right now, science says it...

BREAKING: FOX confirms thru multiple DHS sources... One of the two Jordanian nationals involved in the attempted breach at Marine Corps Base Quantico on May 3rd illegally crossed the border last month (April) in the San Diego sector and was released on an NTA (notice to appear) because there was no initial derogatory information found. The other Jordanian national was an F1 Student Visa Overstay

Kate Middleton’s latest portrait has gone viral for all the wrong reasons, as waves of Royal fans took to social media to vent anger over the bizarre painting. Tatler magazine’s July issue features the Princess of Wales draped in a white gown, adorned with a yellow brooch and a blue sash, which many have complained looks nothing like her. The portrait follows the even more bizarre portrait of King Charles III last week, which featured a blood-red back “hellish” backdrop, more akin to Vlad the Impaler. The inspiration for the Middleton portrait appears to be drawn from her past looks;...

In late April, near my home in Tampa, a woman from Guatemala and her four-year-old daughter were brutally killed with a knife and a shovel by the woman’s live-in boyfriend. The alleged killer, described in the press as “a Florida man,” apparently killed his girlfriend because she returned home late from an outing with friends. You would think that CNN, NPR, the New York Times, and other prominent media outlets might cover this story. You would also assume that progressive legislators and groups that purport to care about women, immigrants, and domestic violence would highlight the case, condemn the horrific...

The new trove of documents released Wednesday provide details about the CIA’s intervention in the Hunter Biden investigation. From how high up did the orders come? Anew cache of documents from the IRS whistleblowers released Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee show how the Central Intelligence Agency directly intervened to prevent the IRS investigators from interviewing Hunter Biden lawyer and benefactor Kevin Morris. The CIA’s involvement in the case was first suggested in earlier this year when the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees wrote a letter to Director William Burns that revealed impeachment investigators had at least one...

Brown claims his assets are worth just $50,000 or less, according to court documents Former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown has filed for bankruptcy. According to the Times Union, Brown owes nearly $3 million to eight different creditors as stated by paperwork filed on May 15 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida. He reportedly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which involves the court-supervised reorganization of a debtor's assets and liabilities. That amount includes a $1.2 million court judgment to Anton Tumanov -- a moving-truck driver who sued Brown for assault and battery during an...

The Liberty Justice Center secured a court order temporarily halting enforcement of an Illinois law that Gov. J.B. Pritzker hastily enacted prohibiting candidates that didn't run in the primary from being slated for the November election. Earlier this month, super-majority Democrats in the Illinois legislature approved and the governor signed a mid-election year law ending the slating of candidates. Following a lawsuit, a Sangamon County judge ruled Wednesday that Illinois’ ability to enforce the election law against potential candidates is on hold. Prior to signing the bill, Pritzker called it an “ethics bill.” “It really does make sure that we...

Doug Burgum was bracing for disaster at the top of the ticket. “The Clintons might be the luckiest family in the world because Bill doesn’t win in 1992 without Ross Perot,” he told a North Dakota radio show eight years ago, “and Hillary doesn’t win in 2016 without Donald Trump.” But Clinton did not fall to Trump that year, and the soundbite from the future governor of North Dakota, a bleak sentiment widespread among Republicans at the time, went largely unnoticed. Until now. Perhaps it won’t mean much. Although Trump is a man who knows how to nurture a grudge,...

Nine people were killed and a presidential candidate was briefly taken to hospital after a stage collapsed under heavy winds at a campaign rally in Mexico on Wednesday. Candidate Jorge Álvarez Máynez said he was not injured in the incident, which happened during his campaign event in the northeastern city of San Pedro Garza García. The governor of Mexico’s Nuevo Leon state said at least 54 people were injured and rescue operations were ongoing to save some of the people trapped under the collapsed stage. Among the dead is one minor, Governor Samuel García Sepúlveda said in a post on...

According to FBI records from the National Instant Background Check System (NICS), April 2024 was the fifth highest on record for gun sales and background checks for that month. The month follows a pattern which has developed over the last five years. A gradual drop in sales and background checks from the record-level highs of 2020 and 2021 has become consistent.Even with the drop in sales, the numbers are still at or above the “new normal” established during President Obama’s second term. President Obama was given the honorary title of “the best gun salesman ever.” In the NSSF chart for...

A map of Russian territory has been trotted out by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul as a prop in Congress, as seen from footage published by C-SPAN. McCaul was fervently advocating dropping US restrictions for Ukraine to hit targets inside Russia. McCaul rattled off a list of weapons funneled to the Kiev regime, including long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and HIMARS, claiming that restrictions on their use meant that Ukrainians had “they hands tied behind their backs.”

College students being indoctrinated on campuses to take part in Muslim prayers are also taking part in a thousand-year-old process of Islamic colonialism that made Islam a worldwide religion. College students believe by embracing Islamic rituals, they are opposing colonialism when they’re actually practicing it.The discovery of America and the apogee of European civilization which ushered in the modern world were based on resistance to Islamic colonialism. Since then, European nations withdrew from the Muslim world to avoid colonialism only to be colonized by millions of Muslims from their old colonies. Rather than ending colonialism, Europe went from the colonizers...

On May 13, I wrote here at the FrontPage about Maher Bitar, Old Joe Biden’s new special counsel and director of intelligence and defense programs at the National Security Council. Bitar is important because he is a longtime foe of Israel, an alumnus of the viciously anti-Israel campus group Students for Justice in Palestine, and an indication of how the Biden regime’s betrayal of Israel is not just the result of the regime’s fear of losing Michigan in November, but is also the fruit of personnel decisions that Biden’s handlers made at the beginning of the regime. Bitar is not...

The Mainstream Media and Democrats, but that's just one in the same, have no intention of leaving conservative Supreme Court Justices alone. Today's target? Judge Alito's vacation house. "Last summer, two years after an upside-down American flag was flown outside the Virginia home of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., another provocative symbol was displayed at his vacation house in New Jersey, according to interviews and photographs. This time, it was the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which, like the inverted U.S. flag, was carried by rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it...

@YALiberty @RandPaul has sent a letter to the Department of Justice asking them to investigate "secret back channel" Covid cover-up. "I believe Anthony Fauci was in charge of the entire conspiracy."

"We don't put any international body above American sovereignty" America should punish the ICC and put Karem Khan "back in his place," Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said during a Wednesday morning news conference. Congress is reviewing all of its options including "aggressive legislation" to impose sanctions as quickly as possible, Johnson said. "If the ICC moves forward with its absurd warrant request, this is going to be an even bigger international problem," Johnson said. According to Johnson the US has never endorsed the ICC because it's a "direct affront to our own sovereignty." "We don't put any international body...
