The Biden-Harris administration openly admitted in early October that Iran has become enriched under its policies and leadership....

US Secret Service officials have kept federal auditors from Donald Trump’s campaign events to hide “that the former president is not receiving a consistent level of protective assets,” according to new whistleblower allegations.

CBS News reportedly instructed its staffers not to refer to Jerusalem as being part of Israel as the network faces mounting internal pressure over its handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Mark Memmott, CBS News’ senior director of standards, sent an email to all CBS News employees in late August with a list of terms to “be careful with” when “we talk or write about the news” pertaining to the war in Gaza, according to a report in the Free Press. “Jerusalem” made the list of contentious terms. “Do not refer to it as being in Israel,” Memmott reportedly wrote... ...instead...

During a Univision town hall on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris doubled down on furthering the ongoing invasion at the U.S. southern border if elected president this November.The moment came when a prospective voter questioned Harris about what she would do to support noncitizens who have resided in the United States “for years.” The Democrat nominee bragged about how “the first” piece of legislation the Biden-Harris administration sent to Congress was a bill that, among many things, sought to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants within the country.

Kat Kerr, the self-proclaimed pink-haired prophetess, has made a career out of spouting outlandish claims that defy both logic and Scripture. Known for her wild tales, she insists that God commanded her to dye her hair pink to “stand out among the prophets.” Kerr also claims to have visited Heaven thousands of times, where she’s seen things like Elvis Presley playing music for Jesus and Mickey Mouse running around the pearly gates. She’s declared that Walt Disney made it to Heaven because of his “family entertainment” contributions and has even gone as far as to say that Santa Claus lives...

Why are pro-lifers, pro-life? Could it be that they genuinely believe that the unborn child is a human being with rights? According to the Wednesday edition of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with host of the week Jordan Klepper and abortion activist and author Jessica Valenti, that is not even a possibility. It must either be because they want power within the GOP or they enjoy controlling women because being a pro-lifer means being “the biggest asshole from high school.” Klepper asked the book touring Valenti, “It's curious, in your book, you talk about the battle over language, which we've...

Kamala Harris got caught using a teleprompter during Thursday night’s Univision town hall in Las Vegas. Harris pandered to Latina voters by participating in a town hall hosted by Univision. The internal polls for Harris must be horrific. Of course, Kamala Harris had to use a teleprompter because she has no clue what she’s talking about. Univision panicked after they realized they showed Kamala Harris’s teleprompter live on air. As soon as the camera panned behind Kamala Harris, the teleprompter went black. But it was too late. WATCH: BREAKING: Univision accidentally broadcast proof that Kamala used a teleprompter at her...

Pro-life activist Heather Idoni, who was imprisoned by the Department of Justice under the Biden administration for trying to rescue the unborn at a late-term abortion clinic in Washington D.C., continues to suffer gross mistreatment at the hands of the U.S. Marshals. Idoni and her husband, who are both heavily involved in pro-life work, have five biological children and have adopted 10 boys from Ukraine. Heather has been behind bars since August 2023 and has been convicted and sentenced in two trials — one in Washington, D.C. and another in Nashville, Tennessee — on charges of violating the pro-abortion FACE...

“What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.”- Hannah...

This isn't exactly news at this point but the NY Times has a new poll out today which pretty much confirms what we already knew. The Senate is about to turn red and there doesn't seem to be any real hope for the Democrats to change that at this point.AdvertisementControl of the Senate appears likely to flip from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party this fall, as one of the nation’s most endangered Democrats, Senator Jon Tester of Montana, trails his Republican challenger in his bid for re-election, according to a new poll from The New York Times and...

There has obviously been a lot of juking the economic numbers to make the economy look better than it is, but this report from the Brownstone Institute explains that systemic flaws in how economic statistics are generated account for some of the disparity between the statistics and our observations. This study corrects bad inflation data and merges that with output -- to show that we've been in recession 2.5 years already!

How do you know the Democrats are worried and desperate? They're now pulling out the only "big guns" they have left including Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Obama was in Pittsburgh for a Black Voters for Harris event. He spoke to about 40 people and he identified a big problem that Kamala Harris faces: that she isn't generating much enthusiasm for her. What's the problem, according to Barack Obama? It's on the "brothas." "We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters in our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,"...

When it comes to exercise for heart health, you don't want to peak too early in life. Recent research suggests that if you want to protect yourself against high blood pressure as you age, you need to play the long game and keep your exercise levels up through middle age. But social factors can make this more difficult for some people to do than others, according to a study of more than 5,000 people across 4 US cities. "Teenagers and those in their early 20s may be physically active but these patterns change with age," study author and epidemiologist Kirsten...

LOS ANGELES - A group of teens robbed a 7-Eleven in Hollywood earlier this week, leaving a store employee injured. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the robbery occurred shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday at the 7-Eleven off Wilcox Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard. Police said that a group of approximately eight suspects, believed to be between the ages of 16 and 20, entered the store and started grabbing and opening bags of chips.

In a rather unexpected turn of events, world leaders gathered for a crucial climate summit. However, many embraced their playful side and attended the event dressed as superheroes instead of their usual formal attire. The sight of political figures donning capes and masks at such a critical event may have left some confused. Nevertheless, it brought a touch of humor and creativity to an otherwise serious occasion. Each superhero costume chosen by the world leaders carried its symbolism. For instance, a leader dressed as Superman might represent the power and determination needed to tackle climate change head-on. In contrast, another...

In theory, there are more possible outcomes than just three, but in reality, there are probably only three election outcomes that could occur in November. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I don’t think there is any way Kamala Harris could win a legitimate election. I’m sure there are people who genuinely support Kamala Harris. These same people likely believe everything the media tells them, they believe social media, and they believe the polls. They are able to convince themselves that the country needs change, and that Harris would bring that needed change. They are able to block out the...
