Attorney General Merrick Garland this week called for “attacks” against the Justice Department to stop, in a rare op-ed a day before the House voted to hold him in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena. Garland said in the piece, which appeared in the Washington Post on Tuesday, that in recent weeks, there have been an “escalation of attacks that go far beyond public scrutiny, criticism, and legitimate and necessary oversight of our work,” and claimed that the attacks are “baseless, personal and dangerous.” He suggested the attacks were coming from Trump supporters, in response...

Anti-America First Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) will reportedly not attend a meeting with former President Donald Trump on Thursday in Washington, DC, citing a scheduling conflict. Trump’s return to Washington is the first time he will visit Capitol Hill since leaving the presidency, vanquishing primary rivals and raising huge sums of money following intense court battles. The three senators, who often opposed Trump on policy and worked against him politically, will not join Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and other high ranking Republicans in meetings with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Politico Playbook reported...

The US and Ukraine are expected to sign a bilateral security pact on the sidelines of the G7 in Italy on Thursday, multiple people familiar with the matter told CNN, in a deal that lays out a path for the US’ long-term security relationship with Kyiv but that could also be undone by future US administrations. The agreement follows months of negotiations between the US and Ukraine and is expected to commit the US for 10 years to continued training of Ukraine’s armed forces,

American conservative media gushed over the nationalist victories in the European Union elections this week. Fox News, Breitbart, Washington Examiner, Daily Wire, The Blaze, and many others celebrated the results. Fox even praised the election as a strong rebuke to “socialism” and “far-left policies.” The American Right didn’t always treat Euro nationalists with adulatory coverage. Not that long ago, conservative outlets would warn about the dangers of these parties and slander them with the same hysteric claims liberal journos deploy. The positive coverage of Euro nationalists is another positive development for the American Right. When I started working at the...

The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a challenge to the abortion pill mifepristone, meaning the commonly used drug can remain widely available.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Senate Republicans on Thursday announced a hold policy on numerous President Joe Biden nominees in response to the 46th president’s “radical lawfare” against former President Donald Trump and other political opponents. Vance led an effort alongside Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Eric Schmitt (R-MO) to block swift confirmation of roughly four dozen of Biden’s nominees throughout various positions of the government. This includes judicial nominees, a nominee for deputy undersecretary for the Treasury Department, and a general counsel nominee for the Office of the Director of...

SPOKANE, WA — Police arrested local man Thomas Macey this week after an officer caught him urinating on the Pride flag painted on a urinal. "Once again, the gay community is under attack," said LGBTQ activist Charity Plunge. "This man literally urinated on the symbol of gay pride, which we painted on the urinal. Is there no end to the hatred and bigotry?" The LGBTQ community has declared Macey's act of urination the worst hate crime since someone called Caitlyn Jenner "sir" on live TV. "This is our 9/11," said Plunge to reporters. "We are literally being murdered in airport...

Tesla shareholders are voting to approve a $56 billion pay package for Elon Musk and to move the electric vehicle maker’s legal home to Texas, Musk said on social media platform X on Wednesday, adding that passage was by wide margins. A yes vote gives the electric carmaker more ammunition in a Delaware court, where a judge voided the 2018 pay package plan, which at the time was the largest in US corporate history, saying the board was “beholden” to CEO Musk. It also marks a massive win for Musk and the board, who have put their credibility on the...

Food authorities in Denmark have recalled three types of spicy instant noodle products imported from South Korea over possible risks of “acute poisoning.” Consumers are asked to discard them or return the noodles to the retailer. The noodles are made by Seoul-based Samyang Foods, one of South Korea’s largest companies, and sold across the globe. The recalled noodles include Buldak Samyang 3 x Spicy & Hot Chicken, Buldak Samyang 2 x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Buldak Samyang Hot Chicken Stew. The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration said the products contain an overly high dose of capsaicin, an active ingredient...

President Biden awkwardly saluted Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as he arrived at the G7 summit in Italy on Thursday. Biden, 81, was the last of the world leaders to arrive at the venue in southern Puglia as he shuffled onto the stage where Meloni was waiting. The two spoke for a few moments before Meloni pointed toward a frame of the G7 logo, which each leader in attendance signed with a marker. As he began to walk off the platform, Biden raised his right hand over his eye and saluted his Italian counterpart.

The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russia's right to develop closer ties with North Korea should not be in doubt or a source of fear for anyone, saying the potential for the two countries' relations was very deep. -snip- "It is our neighbour, it is a friendly country with which we are developing bilateral relations. We will continue to do so in an upward direction," said Peskov. "The potential for the development of our relations is very deep. We believe that our right to develop good relations with our neighbours should not be of concern to anyone and cannot and...

On Friday, May 31, alumni descended on Columbia University's Manhattan campus to celebrate their class reunions. In addition to eating and drinking, the festivities included several panel discussions featuring professors and administrators...In the audience, according to two attendees, were several top members of the Columbia administration. Given the sensitivity of the subject—the eruption of anti-Semitism on campus in the wake of Hamas's Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel put a national spotlight on the school, and Columbia recently settled a lawsuit with a Jewish student who accused the school of fostering an unsafe learning environment—the administrators' presence made sense.The administrators...

Former President Trump appears to be making stunning inroads with young voters as he stakes out youth-friendly positions that defy GOP orthodoxy and contradict past statements. Why it matters: The prospect of Trump coming within striking distance of winning young voters — which shows up in poll after poll — would have seemed unthinkable at the outset of the cycle. State of play: Public polling suggests a significant shift toward Trump could be coming in the 2024 election among the country's youngest voters. The latest New York Times/Siena polling of likely voters has President Biden with just a 2-point lead...

@Nigel_Farage The penny is finally beginning to drop on mass migration. The Conservatives and Labour have failed us all.

The Biggest ‘Revisionist History’ About Jan. 6, 2021 Comes From Democrats Like Nancy PelosiUsing the same tactics as the Jan. 6 Committee, Pelosi is quick to bury any evidence exonerating Trump from any claims of ‘insurrection.’Questions about the National Guard at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, are once again making headlines this week after new footage recorded by Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s daughter shows the former speaker of the House blaming herself for not doing more that day. “Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?” Pelosi asks in a fury. “They clearly didn’t know, and I take responsibility...

It’s bad enough when prominent leftist media outlets try to rationalize insane communist ideas in the name of fighting climate change. But it’s downright terrifying when artificial intelligence does it on its own. MRC Free Speech America researchers probed Meta AI on the merits of so-called “degrowth communism” as a climate change solution after leftist magazine The Atlantic promoted the idea on its platform. Researchers simply entered the headline of MRC Free Speech America’s write-up of The Atlantic, “The Atlantic Justified ‘Degrowth Communism’ to Fight Climate Change … Yes, You Read That Right.” Meta AI knew that the prompt was...

After Joe Biden's shout fest State of the Union speech Donald Trump suggested that Biden take a drug test: Former President Donald Trump once again demanded a drug test for current President Joe Biden before their expected June debate.This suggestion arose from Trump's accusation that Biden was "high as a kite" during his March State of the Union address. In front of a crowd at the Lincoln Reagan Dinner in St. Paul, Minnesota, Trump voiced his demand.I am totally on board with that, thanks to Merrick Garland.Garland was found to be in Contempt of Congress yesterday for refusing to hand...

For six years, Marla Maples graced the world stage as Mrs Donald Trump, the former beauty queen turned wife of the business mogul. Now, Trump's ex-wife has lifted the lid on what it was like to be married to him. Despite a bitter divorce in 1999, the American actress and TV personality has made headlines by staunchly defending her ex-husband. Despite his public image, Marla has revealed a softer side to Trump.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a challenge to the abortion pill mifepristone, meaning the commonly used drug can remain widely available. The court found unanimously that the group of anti-abortion doctors who questioned the Food and Drug Administration’s decisions making it easier to access the pill did not have legal standing to sue. As a result, the lawsuit will be dismissed. By throwing out the case on such grounds, the court avoided reaching a decision on the legal merits of whether the FDA acted lawfully in lifting various restrictions, including one making the drug obtainable via mail,...
