Our propaganda-driven fake news media is facing a real dilemma. For once, they actually did their job and reported the truth about the moment President Trump was shot. Unfortunately for them, the truth of who Trump really is and his reaction to facing down death resonated too well with the American people, turning him into an even bigger icon. That’s not what our regime-run media is supposed to do, so now they’re scrambling to figure out ways to dial it down and downplay that iconic photo, and they think they’ve come up with the perfect solution. Bury the photo… The...

Law enforcement officials investigating the assassination attempt on Donald Trump told lawmakers Wednesday that 20 minutes passed between the time U.S. Secret Service snipers first spotted the gunman on a rooftop and the time shots were fired at the former president, according to several law enforcement officials and lawmakers briefed on the matter.

Who's Ready to Fight! Fight! Fight! We can continue posting stories from the attempted assassination of our President Donald J. Trump that are slanted and biased... ...or... We can seek to have a coordinated effort of our own. Let's start with the $DJT stock. It got shorted to the moon - with the short buyers betting that the stock would take a massive dump on Monday July 15, 2024. It would have, if the assassination attempt was successful. Who took out those short positions? Most of us don't have access to that data. Some of you in the financial space...

July 17 (UPI) -- The six bodies, including those of two U.S. citizens, found Tuesday in a Thailand hotel room died after drinking from cups laced with cyanide in an incident possibly tied to a financial dispute or bad investment, officials say. Three women and three men, four Vietnamese citizens and two Vietnamese-Americans, were discovered Tuesday in downtown Bangkok, Thailand's capital city, in a possible murder by poisoning on the fifth floor of the five-star Grand Hyatt Erwan Hotel after failing to check-out by more than 24 hours

MILWAUKEE — When the Republicans put the final gavel to the wreckage of their convention in Cleveland eight years ago, they were in a state of nuclear meltdown.Yes, they had a nominee in reality television star Donald Trump. But the party itself was a collection of warring factions that agreed on little by way of principles, beyond their collective desire to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House. Strategist David Urban, who helped organize the 2016 convention for Trump, recalls that the floor of Quicken Loans Arena felt like “enemy territory.” Tensions were thick between Trump’s campaign and the...

Joe Biden's pitch to voters is increasingly reminding me of a used car salesman desperate to stop a prospective buyer from leaving the lot. "Sure, this ride may not sound great. It's slow and runs inconsistently, and it definitely has a few more miles on it than you'd like, but if you buy it we'll throw in Supreme Court reform free of charge. And have I mentioned that we'll expunge the records of anyone convicted of marijuana possession just as soon as your check clears (and we have the votes)?" President Biden @POTUS I'm making sure no one goes to...

This looks quite real to me ;)

Two years ago, former President Donald Trump took to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and announced his third presidential bid. "America's comeback starts right now," he said, calling his time out of office a "pause." Trump, who was the 45th President of the United States from 2017 to 2021, is now the Republican nominee for the 47th presidency. He is not the first to try and make his way back into the Oval Office. Many have attempted and failed before him, including Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, Ulysses S. Grant in 1880, Millard Fillmore in 1856 and Martin Van...

A research team working in collaboration with a French team believes it has identified both the neurological mechanism underlying anorexia nervosa as well as a possible cure. The international team's findings have the potential to improve the lives of millions of people around the world, mostly women, who suffer from the common eating disorder, which has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disease. Working with mice, the researchers discovered that a deficit in the acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in an area of the brain called the striatum, which is associated with the reward system, can lead to excessive habit formation...

The Georgia Court of Appeals has scheduled hearings in Donald Trump's effort to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the former president's election interference case for December, a month after the presidential election. Lawyers for the convicted president have been seeking to remove Willis over her romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, whom she appointed as special prosecutor in the case accusing Trump and 18 co-defendants for trying to subvert the 2020 presidential elections results in the southern state. The former president's lawyers claim that both Willis and Wade financially benefited from his appointment due to their romance. In...

At the outset of Christopher Marlowe’s late 16th-century play “The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus,” the scholar at the center of the tale abandons all the learning he has mastered. Law, philosophy, medicine — none of these have fulfilled his boundless ambition. Instead, he turns to magic, making the fateful decision to sell his soul to the demon Mephistopheles, for what he “most desires” — “a world of profit and delight, /Of power, of honor.” That brand of striving, so strong that it compels Faustus to sell what is most essential to him, must lie somewhere in the makeup of...

In a study that included 60 individuals with mild to moderate acne, following the Mediterranean diet and taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements led to significant reductions in inflammatory and non-inflammatory skin lesions, as well as improved quality of life. Notably, 98.3% of participants had omega-3 fatty acid deficits at the start of the study. Acne severity lessened significantly in those who reached target omega-3 fatty acid levels during the study. "Lifestyle interventions, including dietary recommendations, should not be considered in opposition to prescription medications, but rather as a valuable adjunct to any modern acne treatment plan," said corresponding author Anne...

The Secret Service was warned about Thomas Michael Crooks and designated him as a “threat” 10 minutes before former President Donald Trump took the stage, but allowed him to go on anyway, according to a new report. The Fox News report, which comes from a stunning Senate briefing by the Secret Service on Wednesday, revealed that agents were fully aware of reports about Crooks. The agency had identified Crooks as a “character of suspicion” more than an hour before Saturday’s deadly rally shooting but still let him go on stage. “He was identified as a character of suspicion because [he...

When Stephanie Miller saw the baby boy, her heart melted. In an instant, all the pain and frustration Stephanie and her husband, Richard Green, had endured in their inability to conceive a child went away. Because there, on a VHS cassette sent along by an adoption agency, was footage of a 6-month-old child in need of a loving family. “He looked precious,” Stephanie says now. “I instantly fell in love.” The only problem? He was in Siberia. And so it was that, after a few months of patience and paperwork, Stephanie and Richard made the long, long journey from Virginia...

This is a video of Bishop Steven J. Lopes, bishop of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, discussing the Eucharist.The Ordinariate is a diocese comprising the entire United States and Canada, for parishes that converted to Catholicism, usually from the Anglican church.

I have no confidence in the leadership of Director Cheatle and believe it is in the best interest of our nation if she steps down from her position.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) had some choice words for former President Trump's newly announced running mate, J.D. Vance, according to author McKay Coppins, who interviewed Romney extensively for his 2023 book "Romney: A Reckoning." What's inside: "I don't know that I can disrespect someone more than J.D. Vance," Romney told Coppins in a book excerpt that appeared in The Atlantic.
