Hunter Biden will be sentenced one week after the presidential election after a jury convicted him on gun charges. In June jurors returned a verdict in Hunter Biden’s criminal gun trial after three hours of deliberations. Guilty of all three felonies. Prosecutors proved that Hunter Biden was smoking crack when he purchased a firearm in 2018. Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed he will not pardon his son Hunter or commute his sentence. Fox News reported: First son Hunter Biden will be sentenced on Nov. 13, the week after the general election, after he was found guilty on charges in the...

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) failed to deliver political and election mail on time between 2% and 3% of the time during the 2024 primaries and the mail service’s chief watchdog warns in a new audit that some mailed ballots might be delayed or not counted in the November election because workers aren’t following required procedures.“We found that Postal Service personnel did not always comply with policy and procedures regarding all clear certifications, Election and Political Mail logs, and audit checklists,” the Postal Service Inspector General warned in a report made public this week. “In addition, we identified processes and...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office on Saturday night responded to reports that US President Joe Biden expressed deep frustration at Netanyahu's management of the ceasefire-prisoner swap deal. "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not discuss what was said in closed conversations with the President of the US," the statement said. "He does not interfere in American politics, and will work with whoever is elected president - just as he expects from the Americans not to interfere in Israeli politics." ....Biden even told Netanyahu, "Stop bullsh[!]tting me!" When Netanyahu responded, "We are progressing with the negotiations" and promised that "a delegation...

Not long after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, false claims targeting her began resurfacing on social media. Many of the falsehoods have followed her for years and focus on her citizenship status, racial identity and political achievements. Here are some of the claims. False claims that Harris' foreign-born parents make her ineligible to run Shortly after the president's endorsement, a false narrative claiming the fact Harris' parents were not born in the U.S. makes her ineligible to hold office recirculated on social media. Posts pushing the claims received millions of...

In yet another fiery statement, former President Donald Trump didn’t hold back as he slammed Kamala Harris for bailing out a debate on September 4. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Kamala Harris’ campaign has outright refused to participate in a highly anticipated debate against former President Donald Trump, scheduled for September 4th on Fox News. Instead, they are insisting on limiting the debate to far-left media outlets, revealing their desperate attempt to control the narrative and shield Harris from tough questions. Trump took to Truth Social to clarify his position and announce the details of the upcoming event: “I...

The Democratic National Committee did not provide details of the delegate vote count, including a number or state-by-state breakdowns, during a virtual event that had the flavor of a telethon, with campaign officials keeping tabs on a delegate-counting process whose result is a foregone conclusion.

CHAPIN, S.C. (AP) — Donald Trump says he is pulling out of a scheduled September debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on ABC and wants them to face off on Fox News, making it increasingly unlikely that the candidates will confront each other on stage before the November election. In a series of Truth Social posts late Friday, the Republican nominee and former president said his agreement to a Sept. 10 debate on ABC “has been terminated" because he will no longer face Democratic President Joe Biden, who ended his campaign last month after a disastrous performance in their first...

On Saturday's edition of The Weekend, MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson, in a segment devoted to Kamala Harris's possible VP picks, took not-so-subtle shots at Josh Shapiro.Johnson began by saying that some of the possible candidates would be momentum killers for the campaign, causing the Washington Post and the New York Times to run headlines about "Kamala's first stumble and Dems in disarray." You'd have thought that the hosts would press Johnson to name names on those momentum-killing candidates -- but they didn't. But reading between the lines, it wasn't too hard to discern who Johnson had in mind: Shapiro.Get the...

When it looked like Tom Jones was going to dominate the 1963 Oscars, there was a concerted effort by Hollywood to prevent a British film from sweeping the awards. Never mind that the only truly British film to win for best picture had been Laurence Olivier's Hamlet in 1948; David Lean had won for Lawrence of Arabia the previous year, and with The Bridge on the River Kwai in 1957. Lean's producer, Sam Spiegel, was American, and had the backing of distributor Columbia Pictures behind him. Lean was also a verifiable genius, but this looked too much like a British...

An internal survey conducted by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee over the weekend finds Green presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein as the preferred choice of a plurality of those members who responded. The organization asked over 43,000 members, of which approximately 3,200 participated in the survey. According to ADC, which regards itself as the largest grassroots Arab American organization in the United States, the survey examined the presidential preferences of its members following the entry of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris into the presidential race. It was conducted in collaboration with Molitico and Community Pulse, covering a period of time from...

Here is the formatted transcript of the video (by ChatGPT): So when everybody leaves, it's just Elon sitting at home brushing his teeth, just a bunch of ideas bouncing around in your head. When did you realize that that's not the case with most people? I think when I was, I don't know, five or six or something, I thought I was insane. It was just strange because it was clear that other people did not... their mind wasn't exploding with ideas. I was like, "Hmm, I'm strange." I don't think you'd necessarily want to be me. People wouldn't like...

Josh Shapiro's role in the coverup of Ellen Greenberg death has come under scrutiny in the recent weeks. Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old teacher, was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment on January 26, 2011, with over 20 stab wounds. Josh Shapiro's office ruled Ellen Greenberg's death a suicide, despite her being stabbed 10 times in the chest and 10 times in the back, with two of the stabbings occurring post mortem.

A massive drone attack walloped the military command center Russia is using to wage its war against Ukraine on Saturday. The overnight barrage destroyed ammunition plants and fuel depots in Russia’s Belgorod, Kursk, and Rostov regions. Among the successful targets was the Morozovsk airfield, where Russia keeps its fighter-bomber jets. The Russian airfield has played a crucial role in the Kremlin’s operations against Ukraine. Some of Russia’s anti-aircraft defense systems were also disabled on Saturday by Ukrainian-launched missiles. Russia also lost its B-237 Rostov-on-Don attack submarine, which was sunk Saturday outside Sevastopol in Ukrainian bomb strikes. Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense...

In the first major gaffe of her campaign, a heavily inebriated Kamala Harris accidentally chose the wrong Jewish guy named "Shapiro" as her Vice Presidential running mate. "Come on up here Ben! Haha you and your adorable yarmulka hahaha," laughed Harris at the press conference. "I thought you wore glasses? Whatever. Woo, Pennsylvania is ours!" According to sources, Harris was quite defensive when campaign aides pointed out her slight error. "Geez, lay off," said Harris, holding herself up with a parking meter. "He's white, Jewish, and named 'Shapiro'. I was pretty dang close. How different can they really be?"

"No longer are you keeping those private files in some file cabinet. It's on your laptop, and it's then therefore up here in this cloud, that exists above us. It's no longer in a physical place."

WASHINGTON — When the Americans freed from Russia stepped on U.S. soil late Thursday night, the first hugs came from a beaming President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The scene showed a dramatic, poignant and possibly life-saving rescue of “wrongly detained” U.S. citizens. It was also the kind of image political election campaigns would pay a fortune to get. Politics, perhaps inevitably, became a subtext to the multinational prisoner swap that freed 16 Westerners from Russia and sent eight Russian spies and at least one convicted assassin back to Russia. Biden, in announcing the hard-fought deal, credited the relationships...

I met my ex on a dating app in 2020. I was ready to settle down, and he seemed to be too, so things got serious quickly. We bought a dog and picked out an engagement ring. Then, it all fell apart when I learned he had three other girlfriends, all of whom thought they were exclusive with him. I have a doctoral degree in public health, specializing in social and behavioral sciences. I'm a smart person, so I blamed myself for missing the signs — though even in retrospect, I couldn't see any. Almost immediately, I realized there were...

While the book of Acts is basically a history of the early church, there is a lot of theology that can be gleaned if the reader just takes the time to really dig into the meat that is marinating in the milk. As I delve into some of that meat, we find Jesus with the disciples at Bethany, where He is ready to ascend into Heaven. Just before He leaves He gives instructions for the men to remain in Jerusalem and wait for the gift He promised from the Father,“And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not...
