As we've noted for months, the Democrat-allied media energetically present Trump's prosecutors as nonpartisans enforcing a "rule of law." They couldn't possibly be prosecuting Trump to advance their career among Democrats. Just about five hours after the guilty verdicts were announced on Thursday, Politico published "Will Trump’s guilty verdict hurt him?" by Adam Wren and Lisa Kashinsky. About halfway into the story is a section that can be best described as blatant Alvin Bragg adulation, "Alvin Bragg sealed his place in Democratic lore," in which the authors conceded that their beloved Bragg ran on a "Get Trump" platform thus revealing...

The WNBA on Sunday upgraded Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter's foul against Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark to a flagrant-1 violation after reviewing the play. Carter gave a shoulder shot to Clark that knocked her to the floor before an inbound pass during the third quarter of Saturday's 71-70 win by the Fever. The officials called it an away-from-the-ball foul and didn't review the play. It was deemed a common foul at the time. The league fined Sky forward Angel Reese $1,000 for failing to make herself available to media after Saturday’s game. The WNBA also fined Chicago $5,000 for...

House Speaker Mike Johnson joined Fox Sunday to discuss House Republicans’ plans to investigate Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Special Counsel Jack Smith for targeting political opponents. It sounds like just more words from Speaker Johnson. We want to see action! Shannon Bream: Now, I want to ask you about the verdict. Clearly, you think it’s a travesty, as many people do. And I think having watched the trial, there are many grounds, fertile territory for the Trump team to use on appeal, but that’s going to take time. In the meantime, there are a number of Republicans out there...

Renee Aland said she thought the lizard was an alligator when she first saw it.. A massive, 5-foot-long lizard, presumed to be an Asian water monitor, was seen scurrying around a busy road in western Florida recently. "He’s huge," Renee Aland can be heard saying in video she posted on social media of the lizard. "He’s just strutting across the road. He’s heading to the other side of the road." When her daughter, Zoey Marzonie, asked if she should get closer to the lizard, her mother quickly answered, "Nope, just stay in the car." ... she called the Florida Fish...

In a video posted by event co-organizer Palestinian Youth Movement on Instagram, an Amnesty booth could be seen in the vendor fair at the May 24-26 conference.

Amnesty USA confirmed that it had a table “to share our organization’s work around the world, especially in the ongoing conflict in Gaza,” and “offered participants the opportunity to join our petition calling for a ceasefire in Gaza,”...

Pure vanity! I dreamt this up. Have you heard it elsewhere?

Battle of attrition in Vovchansk. Russian forces reach Seversky Donets canal in Chasiv Yar. Ocheretye breakthrough operation continues after a short pause. Intensification of Russian armored attacks across Luhansk Front. Ukraine momentarily stabilizes situation in Krasnohorivka.

A New York City couple got their hands on about $100,000 in cash from a safe they pulled up from a lake while 'magnet fishing' in Corona Park. To pull of this unique feat, James Kane and Barbie Agostini attached a neodymium magnet - which go for as little as $21.99 on Amazon - to a fishing rod and reeled the old safe out from the depths of the water. And at first, it was a mundane discovery because as Kane told NY1: 'We have found plenty of safes before, this is just what a magnet fisher does.' The couple...

Five people taking part in a rally organised by Pax Europa, a campaign group against radical Islam, were wounded in the attack.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has reportedly “classified at the highest level” the audio tapes of Joe Biden’s embarrassing interview with Special Counsel Hur. The tapes have been locked away in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), according to investigative journalist Paul Sperry. Earlier this year, Washington Post reporter Matt Viser revealed that Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded that Joe Biden recklessly mishandled sensitive materials discovered at his home and former office. Disturbingly, the investigation also uncovered that Biden shared government secrets with his ghostwriter, further underscoring his blatant disregard for national security. Adding to this damning report, it was revealed...

President Trump revealed during an interview Sunday morning that he prepared to go to jail, a possibility he is okay with. Trump was a guest on Fox and Friends Weekend to speak out about his disgraceful conviction when co-host Pete Hegseth inquired about the possibility of crooked Judge Juan Merchan throwing behind bars. As The Gateway Pundit readers know, Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, three days before the GOP convention. Trump told Hegseth he was okay with it and went on to say, “You don’t beg for anything.” This means that despite facing months, if not...

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd said this weekend that her sister is backing former President Trump’s reelection bid following the guilty verdict in the New York hush money criminal trial. In a column published Saturday, Dowd said after the guilty verdict, she called her brother and her sister — both of whom, she said, are Republicans who had hoped for a Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley victory — to gauge whether Trump’s conviction had been a final straw for them. Dowd said she was surprised to hear that her sister was swayed in the other direction. “I wasn’t going...

During the pandemic, the American people started to feel that Big Government was very cozy with Big Pharma. Now we know just how close they were. New data from the National Institutes of Health reveals the agency and its scientists collected $710 million in royalties during the pandemic, from late 2021 through 2023. These are payments made by private companies, like pharmaceuticals, to license medical innovations from government scientists. Almost all that cash — $690 million — went to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), the subagency led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, and 260 of its scientists....
