Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that former President Donald Trump is a dangerous and evil person.Pelosi said, “It was a total manifesto of lies, and that’s what we saw the other night, which must be rejected, as well as his candidacy. One that stood out was abouJanuary 6th. This man would not send the National Guard. The Republicans know that. We were asking for it, begging for it to the Secretary of Defense and the president, of course, is the ultimate Commander-in-chief and he would not send it. For him to go on TV and lie...

@TheInsiderPaper JUST IN - Trump may be first Republican to win NY, NJ in decades after Biden debate debacle, GOP leaders say - NY Post

The liaison team of the Labor Party, led by Yair Golan, and the Meretz party, led by party secretary general Tomer Reznik, have reached a merger agreement to form a party called "The Democrats." Both parties have pointed out that this is not a "technical bloc," but rather a "historical process that has finally produced one large and united party, a liberal-democratic Zionist party that will be a political home to a large public in Israel; for those who are going out to defend the image and character of the country, as well as for civil entities that are striving...

At today's House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) played video of the ATF agents planning a raid on Bryan Malinowski.

@ChrisMartzWX Greta Thunberg and I are the same age. I’m a senior atmospheric science major who studies climate; she is an activist and the UN’s climate prodigy with zero formal education on this subject. Climate alarmists habitually appeal to scientific authority [only if it suits their creed], but they claim I’m not “qualified” and ignore experts like Dr. Judith Curry, Dr. Patrick Brown or Dr. John Christy, and instead listen to her uninformed testimonies that are nothing more than cultish, politically-charged doomsday rants that aren’t in the least supported by the body of scientific work. Bureaucrats and world leaders over...

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), a leading vice presidential contender for former President Trump, said on Sunday he has “evolved” in his position on abortion access in the eight years since he suggested women were unsafe before Roe v. Wade. In an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press,” anchor Kristen Welker pressed Burgum about a clip she played from his 2016 gubernatorial campaign, when Burgum expressed concern about outlawing abortions. “When you outlaw the ability to terminate pregnancies and make it illegal, it just makes it unsafe for some of the most vulnerable people in the world —...

Gimme two steps to sell my house. Are people getting out of dodge?? Calfornia Gpvernor “Greasy Gavin” Newsom sold his Sacramento home and moved to Marin County for better schools. Sacrramento active housing inventory is up 65.6% YoY. Active housing inventory in May is up 27.5% YoY nationally, with Denver leading at 75.2% YoY. I highlight Columbus Ohio at +32.9% since that is where I live. While the government may be able to fake BLS and CPI data to gloss over the fact that 5.5% rates have already likely driven the nation into a deep recession, independent data on the...

The state minister at the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy for the Maldives, Fathimath Shamnaz Ali Saleem, was detained and suspended from her position on accusations of committing acts of “sorcery” on President Mohamed Muizzu, Maldivian outlets reported on Thursday. The Maldivian newspaper the Edition reported on Friday that the national police service confirmed that Shamnaz and Minister at the President’s Office Adam Rameez had been suspended from those top government roles due to an ongoing investigation but did not clarify the nature of the probe. Accusations of “black magic” can result in serious legal consequences in the...

The Parliamentary faction of President Emmanuel Macron has been utterly destroyed in the unexpected snap election he called just three weeks ago, with Le Pen’s Party looking to nearly treble its seat holding. Polling has closed in France for the first round of this week-long Parliamentary election. While actual seat distribution won’t be fully known, the exit polls following this knock-out round have given a confident answer that Marine Le Pen’s nationalist-populist National Rally (RN) won the day. Per the exit polls, her faction gained 34 per cent of the vote, while the left-wing coalition founded for the purpose of...

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto...

Seventy-two hours after the debate in Atlanta last week, President Biden and those closest to him have settled on the same strategy police officers use to shoo bystanders away from a car crash: “Nothing to see here.”According to the talking points being repeated by the president’s aides and surrogates, the debate was a 90-minute blip in a long campaign. Mr. Biden didn’t have “a great night,” as he told donors Saturday, but fund-raising is going strong and he has already bounced back.Aides have been pushing a similar message for more than a year, as polls have shown that voters are...

According to the Philippine military, the China Coast Guard used blaring sirens and strobe lights to disorient the personnel. Tear gas and rocks were also thrown at and onto the Philippine vessels.

An image released by...

One name being bandied about to replace Joe Biden is Michelle Obama; the speculation here, on both the left and right, is making me wonder, what qualifies this presumably front-hole person to be POTUS? I mean, should she not, at the very least, have been elected dog-catcher first? How about managing a Chick-fil-A, a lemonade stand? I think, however, that the very idea the Democratic Party (or mouthpieces of) will contemplate or even talk about this possibility tells us a lot about what they think of the office. Clearly, to them, no experience is necessary; NONE, at all. So, why...

President Biden’s family is urging him to stay in the race and keep fighting despite last week’s disastrous debate performance, even as some members of his clan privately expressed exasperation at how he was prepared for the event by his staff, people close to the situation said on Sunday.
