The raid took place Wednesday afternoon, according to a source with information on the stunning law enforcement operation. The source, who asked not to be identified because of the developing nature of the case, tells The Federalist that law enforcement officials took cell phones and other electronic devices supposedly relevant to the investigation. That included Diny’s wife’s cell phone, the source said. An official...

Donald J. Trump and the assorted fat cats to whom he was speaking seemed to be processing many complicated emotions all at once. “You think this is easy?” the former and perhaps future president asked. “Standing up here in front of half a room that hates my guts, and the other half loves me?” There he stood, the godhead of a populist revenge movement, tucked into his satiny cummerbund, a black bow tie around his neck. It was the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in Midtown Manhattan. This charity event, held Thursday evening in the ballroom of the Hilton...

Recent poll numbers edging toward Trump have us thinking.... because they're showing slight leads in formerly blue swing states and even national polls. Most pollsters then reference Trump’s history from ’16 and ’20 and his under-polling, winning by more or losing by less than anticipated, enforcing speculation that current Trump support is stronger than most will admit. We see it in an apparent plurality of Harris/D yard signs vs. a scarcity of Trump signs in most purple & blue areas. We hear it in the vitriol hurled at any and all Trump supporters. Trump supporters are hesitant to announce support...

Hundreds of Penn State students and community members stood in line on campus to hear former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy speak and do a Q&A with audience members Thursday evening as part of Turning Point USA’s “You’re Being Brainwashed” tour. The event room in the Sparks Building capped out around 350 people, and organizers let students in first, so hundreds of others were turned away. For over an hour, Ramaswamy spoke and answered questions on several topics including the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol, mainstream media, climate change and government trust. He threw his support...

Democrat Senate candidates in key swing states are pleading to Trump voters for support – a bad sign for their own campaigns and a flashing warning sign to Kamala Harris. In Michigan, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is openly courting voters who support Trump. In Pennsylvania, Sen. Bob Casey’s (D-PA) campaign released an ad showing Donald Trump signing a bill in the Oval Office, with the narrator touting Casey sided with Trump on his historic trade deal ending NAFTA. And in Wisconsin, leftwing Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s (D-WI) campaign released an ad broadcasting her alignment with Trump on trade policies. Candidates on...

Trump supporters in Pennsylvania are reportedly being targeted with threatening letters from radical leftists, warning them that their visible support for the former President could lead to dire consequences. Residents with Trump signs in their yards, particularly in Philadelphia, have reported receiving disturbing letters through the U.S. Postal Service, complete with fake Trump campaign letterheads, Post Millenial first reported. The threatening letters, which start off as a seemingly benign “thank you” note for being engaged in the electoral process, quickly devolve into dark, ominous threats. One Trump voter, Janet from Penn Valley, shared her harrowing experience to Post Millenial. After...

It has been 26 years since the mysterious Phoenix Lights appeared over the Valley, and while we still don't know what it was, there are plenty of theories about it.

Havana CNN — Cuba’s electrical grid shut down on Friday, putting the country into a blackout after the failure of one of the island’s major power plants, according to its energy ministry. In a statement on X, the ministry said “the failure” of the Antonio Guiteras Power Plant caused “the total disconnection of the National Electrical System” from 11 a.m. ET on Friday. In Havana, motorists on Friday tried to navigate the city where no street lights appeared to be working and only a handful of police were directing traffic. Generators are a luxury for most Cubans and only a...

Why did the DNC apparatus sue to keep RFK JR’s name off certain state ballots and simultaneously sue to keep him on certain state ballots? It just didn’t make sense…. … Until now. County-level ballots were contracted for localized printing by those who intended to use blank ballots for fraudulent purposes; essentially “ballot making.” RFK Jr’s name ON or OFF ballots, changes the dynamic of the paper format and the physical alignment in the scanner. The county tabulation scanners need one ballot format per county to scan for vote tally. In states where they preprinted/made the fraudulent county level ballots...

VIDEOI can't STOP thinking about it! No, not the upcoming election which I know I should be focused on. However, this morning my mind was entirely focused on something else entirely. My Char Siu Sweet Chinese ribs which have been marinating overnight in the refrigerator. All morning while trying to think of a video to produce only one image kept coming into my mind. The ribs. In fact I made several trips to the refrigerator simply to INHALE the intoxicating odor of the ribs marinating in a blend of exotic spices and sauces. My normal routine is to simply review...

Residents in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, report receiving threatening letters in the mail, some with a replica of a Donald Trump campaign letterhead, cautioning against voting for Trump. The letters start with a cordial salutation but swiftly devolve into menacing language.“Your candidate is a felon, rapist, desecrator, an immoral flawed man. He is a major reason violence us [sic] up, remember January 6th and Charlottesville?” the letter seen by The Post Millennial rails. “By supporting him, you are declaring your public support for a disregard of the law, civil discourse and unity. You are indicating your hatred for minorities, immigrants, foreigners, women,...

Three dozen Catholics from “Lebo,” as the Mt. Lebanon area of Pittsburgh is called, packed into Colleen Oxenreiter’s living room on a recent Friday evening. Lebo is a heavily Catholic neighborhood, and her home was the one with a giant Trump sign in the yard, by her pumpkins. She explained the group’s mission: to reach out, in a campaign of postcards and video text messages, to Catholic Republicans who did not vote in 2020. If they vote this time, she hoped, it could be enough to win back the battleground state, and the White House. The group had another big...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Former Trump White House Chief Advisor Stephen K. Bannon has issued a blistering statement, sent to The National Pulse, explaining how the Biden-Harris regime is holding him illegally, refusing to accept his First Step Act eligibility, and incarcerating him longer than required in order to swing the election.“Kamala Harris is the ‘Queen of Mass Incarcerations’,” Bannon told The National Pulse, “detested by black and hispanic men who are refusing to turn out and vote for her. She has done nothing to implement President Trump’s heroic First Step Act, in fact welcoming hundreds of thousands of hardened illegal...

The Trump campaign has consistently pointed to unauthorized immigration as the cause of a series of problems it says plagues the country. That is rarely actually the case.To former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, the root cause of many of the issues in the United States is simple. Be it gun violence, high housing costs, long wait times at emergency rooms or an impending depletion of disaster relief funding, Mr. Trump and Senator JD Vance have offered the same diagnosis: All are because of unauthorized immigration. “The mass migration invasion has crushed wages, crashed school systems —...

If 75% of the roughly 200,000 Muslim Americans in Michigan cast their vote on November 5, Vice President Kamala Harris will be virtually guaranteed to lose the state and its critical 15 electoral votes. That’s what one activist group in the state, Drive for 75, believes. And to achieve it, Rex Nazarko and his organization are barnstorming mosques, hosting voter promotion sermons and knocking on thousands of doors across the state. “What was a guarantee for [a Harris loss] to happen? We tried with different percentages and different turnouts, and with the 75% number, again, accounting only for the Muslim...

Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed hundreds of pages of special counsel Jack Smith‘s highly anticipated evidence against former President Donald Trump on Friday, but they contained few new revelations. The four-volume document dump contained more than 1,800 pages of evidence, but most of it was redacted or previously known information. One volume contained transcripts of interviews conducted by the defunct Jan. 6 Committee while another contained a compilation of Trump’s social media posts.The filing was the second part of a two-part behemoth motion that Smith submitted to the court to defend his charges against Trump in the wake of the Supreme...
