Conservative hardliner and powerful Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good shockingly lost his seat in Congress following a recount of his contentious primary against Trump-backed John McGuire. The Virginia lawmaker's burn-it-all-down tactics in the House has made enemies out of colleagues including former President Donald Trump and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy - who he ousted last year. ...

A Hollywood mogul who has been tapped to head the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles is a serial adulterer with a “chronic condition of sleeping with people who work for him,” according to a bombshell report.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign on Friday blamed former President Donald Trump for the recent spike in the unemployment rate — under her and President Joe Biden’s administration. “Donald Trump failed Americans as president, costing our economy millions of jobs, and bringing us to the brink of recession,” James Singer, a Harris for President spokesperson, said in a statement, continuing: Now, he’s promising even more damage with a Project 2025 agenda that will decimate the middle class and increase taxes on working families, while ripping away health care, raising prescription drug costs, and cutting Social Security and Medicare — all...

The mother of the Las Vegas teen beaten to death by a gang of bullies last year furiously called out the county’s district attorney for allowing her son’s alleged killers to “get away with murder” after it was ruled they would no longer face prosecution as adults. Mellisa Ready was horrified when she found out the Clark County District Attorney accepted a plea deal on Thursday that would ensure the four teens charged with the death of her son, Jonathan Lewis, would avoid being locked up in an adult prison, 8 News Now reported, citing court documents. “There is no...

The New York Times published an analysis Friday in which it claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had “gone rogue” by killing terrorists who had killed Israeli citizens, rather than acquiescing. The story, by Steven Erlanger, is just one of many stories that appeared Friday in the center-left media — both in Israel and the United States — accusing Netanyahu of chasing victory at the price of a ceasefire-hostage deal. Erlanger, citing “analysts,” wrote: The assassinations of senior Hezbollah and Hamas figures abroad have now sharply raised the risks of a larger regional war as Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah...

Biden appears to board the wrong plane following the awkward ceremony to welcome back released hostages.

The Kremlin has admitted that Vadim Krasikov, the assassin freed by Germany in a historic prisoner swap on Thursday, is a serving officer of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB), essentially an acknowledgment that his 2019 murder of a Chechen exile in Berlin was a state-ordered hit. It also hinted that he was linked to Vladimir Putin’s personal guard. “Krasikov is an FSB employee,” Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters, adding that he had “served with some of the people working in the president’s security detail”.

---SNIP--- The strongest argument against picking Shapiro is rooted in his hardline stance against both the Gaza protests on Pennsylvania university campuses—some of which he compared to white supremacist encampments—and the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement seeking to reverse Israel’s brutal human-rights record in the Occupied Territories. In The New Republic, writer David Klion made the case that Shapiro’s elevation to the ticket would kill off much of the movement energy now marshaled behind Harris’s run.

When former President Donald J. Trump challenged Vice President Kamala Harris’s racial identity at a public forum on Wednesday — and again on social media the next day — that was the message at the core of his remarks.It is a tactic that has long been part of the underside of American politics: presenting an opponent as somehow “other” or “not one of us” — someone who cannot be trusted or truly known.But while this has been a recurrent theme in American campaigns for at least a century, Mr. Trump has taken it to a new level, historians and analysts...

It has been widely reported that the father of the alleged would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, in search of his son, made a phone call to law enforcement prior to the assassination attempt, but there doesn’t appear to be any record of that call. How is that possible? More importantly, is that the only call that the father made when trying to locate his son? Is the missing phone call just another anomaly in what is turning out to be a long list of weird, bizarre and unbelievable shenanigans that make up the story line of this attempted assassination? The...

The Thomas More Society is defending a pro-life Florida woman who is suing Google for deplatforming her without explanation and keeping her data. The attorney group is representing 76-year-old Trudy Perez-Poveda in her lawsuit against Google in a trial court in Jacksonville, Florida.

Google then refused to allow her access to more than 11 years of her stored...

The best day of Kamala Harris’s 2020 presidential campaign was its first.Before she was tripped up by CNN town halls, forced to respond to a torrent of policy proposals put forth by Senator Elizabeth Warren, savaged by Representative Tulsi Gabbard and sandwiched between the moderation of Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, she drew 20,000 people to a rally in her native Oakland, Calif., that showed hints of the unifying Democratic figure she now promises to be.In that speech, delivered in January 2019, Ms. Harris owned her record as a prosecutor, told personal stories about the impact of her family and...

During Friday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg called it “disgusting” that former President Donald Trump discussed Vice President Kamala Harris’ race during an appearance at a National Association of Black Journalists event on Wednesday. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “Well, Trump, Vance and others have predictably trotted out racist and sexist attacks on the vice president from calling her dumb and crazy, they’ve criticized her laugh to suggesting she’s an unqualified DEI candidate. Just this week Trump questioned her racial identity, claiming she happened to somehow turn black. Now, what’s your response to that, and do...
