Known for many decades after the Second World War as a key tool for putting economic pressure on developing nations and competitors of the US-led liberal rules-based order, the International Monetary Fund took a major step toward greater autonomy after successfully squashing a surprise plot by the Biden administration to oust its director in 2021.IMF deputy managing director Gita Gopinath has given Washington an unusually blunt warning about its debt and spending levels, demanding that the United States and other developed economies take steps to get debt under control. “For the US, we see ample ground for them to reduce...

THIS is the dramatic moment a Ukrainian drone destroys Russia's "indestructible" turtle tank in the latest blow to Putin's failing forces. Footage shows the sturdy military vehicle suddenly blowing up in flames after its crew left the hatch wide open in a fatal mistake. The drone is seen in the daylight mission smoothly descending until it enters Mad Vlad's tanker, hitting it with pinpoint accuracy. Bright orange flames engulf the turtle tank, reducing it to debris and melted metal. The precise attack was recorded by the Ukraine's 93rd Mechanized Brigade. Ukraine's Ministry of Defense confirmed the blow on X, writing:...

A 71-year-old woman who was found dead inside her home had been fatally mauled by a black bear... Patrice Miller’s body was discovered inside her Downieville home in November last year by police who had been called to carry out a welfare check. Officers discovered a grisly scene with evidence that a bear had been inside, likely for several days, feeding on the woman’s remains. ... Initially, investigators thought she had died before to the bear’s entry. However, an autopsy report completed last month revealed Miller was killed when the animal swiped or bit her neck, Sierra County Sheriff Mike...

Joe Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days in office to destroy the border. Now he’s acting like the savior with his new ‘asylum restrictions’ – only asylum is STILL AVAILABLE to thousands of illegal aliens every single day released into the US.

Amber Rose put a virtue-signaling leftist TMZ reporter back in her place by declaring that a felony is not going to stop her from voting for Donald Trump in the 2024 election. The reporter asked Rose what was behind her recent Trump endorsement, asking her if anything changed after he became a “convicted felon.”

The Biden administration has called for Israel and Hamas to engage in negotiations and ceasefire talks after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) rescued four hostages. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan released a statement addressing the news that the IDF, Israel Security Agency (ISA), and the Israeli police had conducted a joint operation rescuing four hostages, who had been taken by Hamas on October 7, 2023, from the Supernova Music Festival. Sullivan noted in his statement that the United States government was “supporting all efforts to secure the release” of the remaining hostages held by Hamas, and went on...

This Sunday we pick up with the Tenth Sunday in Year B on this Lord’s Day. We are still near the beginning of the Gospel of Mark, following Our Lord’s early ministry. On this Sunday, the readings are tied together by the theme of defeating Satan. 1. Our first reading recalls the sorry introduction of Satan’s influence into human history: First Reading: Genesis 3:9-15After the man, Adam, had eaten of the tree, the LORD God called to the man and asked him, "Where are you?" He answered, "I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was...

Michael Cohen, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, said Saturday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” that if the former president wins the election, “people will start flying out of windows” or end up in prisons like in Russia. Cohen said, “State-sponsored news just like what you have in Russia and their station which is called Pravda and means truth which is ironic, right? All of this goes away under a Donald Trump administration. Why? Because he doesn’t want to hear anything negative being said about him. The fact that you have this television show, the fact that you have the ability...

Embattled conspiracy theorist Alex Jones this week asked a federal bankruptcy court to liquidate his personal assets to help him pay out the $1.5 billion judgment levied against him for his repeated defamatory statements about the 2012 mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, including his false claim that the tragedy was a “giant hoax.” The move comes after the families last weekend filed an emergency motion in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas asking the presiding judge to order Free Speech Systems the parent company of Infowars, to sell off its assets and put the proceeds toward...

Churches need to take a more active role in the pro-life movement, especially in conveying the arguments against abortion, according to an activist and author. Scott Klusendorf, president of The Life Training Institute and author of the book The Case For Life, spoke with Focus on the Family President Jim Daly in an interview posted to YouTube on Thursday. Klusendorf said he believes "a lot of our churches think that if they're silent on abortion, they'll spare post-abortion men and women guilt." "In reality, they're sparing them healing because unconfessed sin has them out of full fellowship with Christ. So,...

WASHINGTON, DC: During his appearance on Sean Hannity's Fox News show on Thursday, June 6, Vivek Ramaswamy discussed the potential for a Democratic shake-up if President Joe Biden fails to meet expectations in the upcoming presidential debate. Donald Trump and Biden agreed to face each other in two general election debates. CNN will host the first debate on June 27, while ABC will host the second on September 10. On his show, Hannity noted that Democrats were seemingly "scared to death" about Biden being their candidate before asking Ramaswamy, who dropped out of the 2024 GOP presidential nominee to endorse...

They’ve done everything they can to stop Trump short of assassination, and they’re probably kicking themselves now for not going that far early on. The truth is that they underestimated Trump’s courage and resolve. Trump is a fighter, through and through, and he is not giving up, even if they throw him in jail. The funny thing is, all they had to do to stop Trump was offer the people something better or even acknowledge them. ... Instead of addressing that, under the Obama administration, America slipped into a Woketopia. Critical Race Theory proliferated in public schools and on college...

A Brooklyn immigrant’s $4 million nest egg is off-limits when she needs it most during her final years because of ineffective court-appointed guardians, her family contends. Aleksandra Chodowiec, 93, arrived in the U.S. from her native Wroclaw in western Poland by herself in 1973 at the age of 43. She worked two jobs, in an envelope factory and cleaning Manhattan offices. In just two years, the industrious Chodowiec saved enough dough to purchase what should have been a golden ticket: a five-story rental building with eight apartments and two commercial units in Greenpoint.

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec NBC: Steve Bannon is heading to prison and Trump is losing a key voice in the months before the election

Ever since Donald Trump rode down the escalator at Trump Tower in June 2015 to announce his run for president, certain Democrats and “Never Trumpers” have been inventing and rolling out one fabricated, dangerous and divisive charge after another. One of the latest they have been running up the flagpole is that Trump will become a dictator who would refuse to leave the White House once his next term is up. It is all the rage among multiple liberal media outlets, while the main talking point of the Biden campaign seems to have morphed into “democracy is at stake” if...

VIDEOAs we get closer to Election Day, the Associated Press grows ever more desperate in its defense of Biden. Here we see an unintentionally HILARIOUS "fact check" by an AP reporter with an annoying voice of Biden squatting in front of a chair at the D-Day ceremony in Normandy. The reporter ignores Biden's odd squatting and makes a big deal that there was a chair there. However during another part of the same ceremony Biden did something perhaps even more bizarre. It was so strange, as you can see here, that AP has yet to think up an explanatory excuse...
