We watch Washington D.C. like we’d watch a ship steaming way too fast toward a crowd on the pier. Our nation’s capital is so filled with corruption, ladder-climbing, and plain stupidity that it’s embarrassing to watch. This is America?!? Yet the Democrats we know personally are not guilty of those sins. Many are smart, hard-working, kind, educated people and yet they voted for the wasted shell in the oval office -- a man who is not only suffering from dementia, but has never been very bright, or very good. A lot of these lovely people appear to be planning to...

There is a growing movement to surrender American sovereignty to international bodies. This effort—championed by a global elite—excludes the participation of the American people and threatens our national security.

I've probably overstepped a FRethical line by sharing Cenk Uygur here, but please give this one some latitude because its a case of Lefties-Losing-It news. Thank you. Apparently the Biden family met to discuss whether or not he should drop out of the 2024 Presidential race, Cenk Uygur breaks it down for The Young Turks.

Even as reports circulated that President Joe Biden was set to spend the weekend reevaluating his 2024 presidential campaign, another report suggested any such confab would have to wait until after the family photo shoot with famed Vogue photographer Annie Leibovitz. The New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers posted an update on X, noting that the photo shoot had been specifically set for this particular weekend in order to accommodate the now-convicted First Son Hunter Biden and his family.

Sky News host Cory Bernardi says the WEF has been “upfront” about its “agenda” for the public. “WEF founder Klaus Schwab even wrote about it in a book entitled the Great Reset - that's where you'll own nothing and be happy,” Mr Bernardi said. “These same leaders celebrate movements that rely on deceit, destruction and chaos to divide society while a largely compliant media mostly report only the official interpretation of events. He said “agents of political change” are now so emboldened they will “happily lie and seem to have no fear of being exposed”. “They will misrepresent everything, from...

NASA says that the astronauts sent to the International Space Station aboard Boeing's malfunctioning Starliner spacecraft are "not stranded in space." However, Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams may be staying in orbit for a very long time. "Not stranded" is one of those phrases that can be stretched to cover a lot of situations. You can take the car to the local supermarket and if it breaks down, you aren't stranded because you can walk home in 15 minutes. On the other hand, if you're on a cross-country trip and throw a piston rod in some backwater mountain town, you...

In 2007, Orlando residents were furious to discover that an FBI informant had organized a neo-Nazi rally through one of the city’s mostly black neighborhoods a year earlier. “To come into a predominantly black community, which could have resulted in great harm to the black community? I would hate to be part of a game,” Orlando City Councilwoman Daisy Lynum said at the time, calling for a “full-scale investigation” into the matter. However, an FBI agent testified that his informant participated in the event, but didn’t organize it. The city’s uproar passed without a public investigation, full-scale or otherwise—until now....

In 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope released images of the Pillars of Creation — stunning effervescent clouds of interstellar dust and gas, the place where stars are born. Now, combining data from Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA has released a gorgeous 3D visualization of the cosmic structures in both visible and infrared light... For example, at the top of the central pillar, viewers can see an embedded infant protostar, which is bright red when seen in infrared light. Close to the top of the left pillar is a diagonal jet of material being ejected from a newborn...

Vladimir Putin plans to send Russian children to a summer camp in North Korea where activities include polishing the statues of leaders. Grigory Gurov, the head of Putin’s Movement of the First youth organisation, announced the plan despite opposition from worried Russian parents. “We will now form our delegation,” he said. “Conditions there are good.” The children will be the first Russian group for five years to visit the Songdowon camp, built on North Korea’s eastern shore by dictator Kim Jong-un’s grandfather in 1960. Accounts from Russian adult leaders on previous trips described Songdowon camp as a cross between a...

CNN — Joe Biden’s family on Sunday encouraged the president to stay in the 2024 race and privately discussed whether top aides should be fired on the heels of Biden’s stunningly poor debate performance, which has thrown his campaign into turmoil. Biden’s family, including first lady Jill Biden, son Hunter Biden and their grandchildren, convened at Camp David for a previously scheduled get-together and implored the president to keep fighting in his bid for reelection, Biden advisers told CNN. One adviser described the family members as having offered their “unequivocal support.” The family – clearly frustrated with the team that...

Why would half of the Democrats and the media turn on Biden? Don't they know what the other hand is doing? Don't they just receive orders and march in lock step? I have a theory. Biden knows he needs a trick up his sleeve to clinch the race over Trump. So, he sets up a con where he seems incompetent and comes back, as an underdog, to be an outstanding, articulate leader. How impressive would that be to the American public! Small town Scranton is the hometown of Joe Biden, that kid that made history! And the focus will be...

Mary Austin, former fiancée of Queen's Freddie Mercury, is set to receive an estimated $237 million from a potential $1.26 billion deal with Sony. Austin, 73, already inherited half of Mercury's estate after his death in 1991, with her share increasing to 75% following the passing of Mercury's parents. She also receives 18.75% of revenues from Queen Productions, which manages the band's catalog. This latest windfall could propel Austin into the ranks of Britain's 100 wealthiest women. Austin met Mercury in 1970 when she was 19 and he was an aspiring musician. They were engaged in 1973, but separated in...

Young people, women, and Democrats reported the largest drops.Confidence in higher education has plummeted to its lowest level ever according to the results of two new national polls commissioned by FIRE and conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. In two AmeriSpeak panels representative of the U.S. household population, we asked Americans: “How much confidence, if any, do you have in U.S. colleges and universities?” This question was first asked in February and then again in May, and its wording is similar to a question posed by Gallup in Summer 2023 when Americans were asked about their confidence in...

Mercifully, the Chevron doctrine was euthanized by the USSC. A lot has been prohibited by unelected petty bureaucrats. Ok, so what can we have again? Add to the list.

Findings from a recent case study show that personalized lifestyle and environmental changes successfully reversed autism symptoms in fraternal twin girls diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Joe Biden's mental decline was at its most blatant debating Donald Trump on Thursday night, to the point that even the mainstream media, his handlers' ever-loyal legion of propagandists, are finally acknowledging it. But somehow, even with the rumors and discussions of replacing Biden with someone who has slightly more going on upstairs and can walk without the assistance of others, the editorial board of the Philadelphia Inquirer says that despite all of that, it should be Trump who drops out of the race.Yes, really.The article just repeats the same lies we've been hearing about Trump ever since he came...

On Saturday, we reported that Joe Biden was planning to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with his family on Sunday during a previously scheduled family gathering at Camp David. While many in the Democratic Party appear ready to pull the plug on Biden, the Biden campaign has been somewhat defiant, insisting that the octogenarian isn't going anywhere. But, according to pundit and author Bill O'Reilly, a decision has been made, and Biden is going to quit his campaign.So, it's over for Joe. But the White House doesn't yet know how or when to make the announcement. Stay close....
