Smith cited deliberations over how to factor in the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling between the government and Trump’s representation. This comes after Chutkan asked both sides to prepare a joint status report, which was originally due Friday. “Although those consultations are well underway, the Government has not finalized its position on the most appropriate schedule for the parties to brief issues related to the decision,” the special counsel’s office said. “The...

Donald Trump has claimed he will stop taxing the Social Security benefits of seniors if he wins a second term in the White House. The cut is the latest in a series of tax relief policies which Democrats claim with endanger federal benefits and see the U.S' debt balloon. Others say Congress would be unlikely to pass the plans. But this latest proposal made on Fox and Friends is the most significant and expensive yet, costing the government $1.8 trillion over the next decade, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

Minnesota business owner Greg Urban on Fox News Wednesday criticized Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz for his allegedly tyrannical record during the COVID-19 pandemic as governor of Minnesota. Walz implemented harsh lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, establishing a hotline for Minnesotans to report people who violated stay-at-home policies and pushed residents of his state not to gather for Thanksgiving. Urban, on “America Reports,” characterized Walz as an “evil” tyrant for his policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, asserting the vice presidential candidate is farther left than Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom. “Walz was a complete dictator through that whole...

Audio from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department's protective detail for President Joe Biden on July 17 was released Friday afternoon by Oversight Project, which obtained the recordings through a Freedom of Information Act request.

The doctor who ran against Democratic vice president pick Tim Walz in the Minnesota gubernatorial race two years ago warned voters that the white-haired National Guard veteran is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” – and even had some advice for JD Vance. “He comes across as everyone’s favorite uncle and jovial but the fact is he can be a pitbull when he needs to be,” Dr. Scott Jensen told The Post of Walz, who was tapped this week as Kamala Harris’ running mate for the November presidential election. Jensen, a Republican and COVID-19 skeptic, was endorsed by Donald Trump when...

Military officials are rejecting demands from a state agency to better monitor and mitigate the effects of rocket launches and sonic booms from Vandenberg Space Force Base, frustrating local officials and increasing tensions between the U.S. Space Force and the state agency tasked with preserving the California coast. SpaceX, a leading contractor with Space Force, wants to rapidly multiply the number of rockets launched from the military base in Santa Barbara County. The company hasn’t been seeking the commission’s approval, however; instead, Space Force officials have been negotiating with the California Coastal Commission for months over a plan to allow...

After initially crossing the finish line, the NBC broadcast noted the in-stadium scoreboard listed Great Britain as the winner, leaving the 24-year-old sprinter in a temporary state of confusion. The error was quickly corrected, however, as cameras picked up...

These costs will be reported every year to Abbott’s office and the Texas Legislature in order for state officials to demand reimbursement from the Biden-Harris administration.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz "misspoke" in a 2018 video circulated by the Harris campaign earlier this week that included the vice presidential candidate talking about his handling of weapons "in war," a campaign spokesperson said Friday. The clarification comes after Republicans, led by veteran and vice presidential candidate JD Vance, have attacked Walz over his military record.

How much have you had stolen from you? That’s a big question. My apologies. Too big a question for a short online column. So let’s narrow it down. How much have you had stolen from you in just the past four years? Political candidates like to talk about all the free stuff that they’ve given you, and then promise even more free stuff in the future (paid for with your own tax dollars, of course. Nothing is ever really free). But candidates don’t like to talk about what they’ve taken from you, do they? So let’s look at that, shall...

CV NEWS FEED // Days after Vice President Kamala Harris was named the Democratic presidential nominee, a July 2023 video clip of her advocating “reducing population” made its rounds on social media. “When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water,” Harris clearly said in the clip.

Revealense recognizes indicators from video clips that help client companies know if a customer is being truthful or not.I was surprisingly anxious in the moments before my “truth test.” I was about to answer a dozen questions that would score my honesty and integrity. It isn’t a written questionnaire, with right and wrong answers. It’s AI watching, listening and assessing me based on indicators over which I have no control – such as changes in my skin pigmentation, blood flow, pulse, voice, eye blinking, facial expressions, and signs of brain activity. I have to answer each question aloud, and mark...
