ABC News has previously reported that there was a physical and verbal altercation between a Trump campaign official...

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday there is evidence that North Korea has sent troops to Russia, as South Korea’s spy chief told lawmakers that 3,000 North Korean troops are in the country receiving training on drones and other equipment before being deployed to battlefields in Ukraine. Speaking to reporters during a visit to Rome, Austin said “What exactly they are doing? Left to be seen. These are things that we need to sort out,” according to a video posted by the Washington Post. If the troops join the war in Ukraine on Russia’s side, it will be “a...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was censured by a bipartisan Congress for making a statement “from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free,” generally understood to be a demand for the destruction of Israel, a strong American ally in the Middle East.

My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.” What are Tlaib’s parameters for freedom and human rights for all people regardless of faith? Will Tlaib support...

A family attorney and the sister of slain Texas soldier Vanessa Guillen both dismissed a report in the Atlantic on Tuesday alleging that former President Donald Trump refused to pay for the Army specialist’s funeral and disparaged her ethnicity. The piece, written by the magazine’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, claims Trump fumed about a $60,000 bill he received from Guillen’s family for her funeral during a December 2020 Oval Office meeting — allegedly telling aides, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f–king Mexican.” ... Mayra Guillen, Vanessa’s sister, slammed the Atlantic report as “hurtful & disrespectful,” and indicated that...

Florida State is having one of the worst seasons in college football history. The Seminoles entered the season ranked inside the Top 10, but currently find themselves with a 1-6 record and coming off the program's first ever loss to Duke. Many would attribute this unthinkable collapse to the reneged bet of Twitter user @321nole, who promised to eat dog **** [ed] if FSU lost its second game to Boston College. The Noles did lose, but the owner of the account disappeared off the face of the Earth, seemingly cursing his program forever — or at least until someone took...

The Badger State’s troubled election regulator continues to have a transparency problem. The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) is facing possible court intervention for its refusal to turn over records related to guidance that WEC issued to local election clerks about same-day registration safeguards. According to a lawsuit filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), the commission issued updated guidance in February 2023, but has stonewalled PILF’s records requests seeking communications about the creation of the guidance for “at least 397 days.” “Same-Day Voter Registration is already a vote now verify later system,” J. Christian Adams, president of the election...

Madison – In what can only be described as “stupefying” by defying any sense of sensibility, thousands of personal and first-hand reports from electors across the State of Wisconsin have surfaced from the first day of Early In-Person Voting when the Wisconsin Election Commission’s (WEC) “electronic voting systems” experienced a meltdown that resulted in thousands of electors across Wisconsin being turned away or told to leave to come back another day to vote. Personal and first-hand accounts from electors across the State of Wisconsin began to surface by mid-morning on October 22nd of extremely long lines (for hours), WisVote “system...

Republican pollster Frank Luntz in a recent interview said Vice President Harris could come up short in November, suggesting her momentum “froze” when she went ‘anti-Trump.” Luntz said Harris’s best stretch came when she was making the case for herself of why she should be elected commander in chief. That progress, in his view, has halted with her expanded her focus on attacking former President Trump. “What’s interesting is that with Harris focused on why she should be elected president, that’s when her numbers grew,” the pollster said on CNN’s “This Morning.” “She’s had the best 60 days of any...

Campaigning at a town hall on Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris returned to the theme of globalism as a direct challenge to former President Trump’s MAGA movement. She was in a friendly setting again, promoting the Uniparty's NeoCon vision for America's standing in the world that did not permit audience questions - and allowed only pre-determined questions that presumably had been shared with Harris prior to the event. So I've now, as Vice President, met over 150 world leaders, presidents, prime ministers, chancellors, and kings; many of them multiple times to the point where we are on first name terms....
