Employees at the Biden-Harris Department of Justice and their fellow travelers at the FBI are apparently "shell-shocked" and updating their resumes following President-elect Donald Trump's landslide electoral victory. Federal bureaucrats' apparent fears of a thorough housecleaning are justified, as Trump has made no secret of his plan to "shatter the Deep State and restore government that is controlled by the People." Background In March 2023, Trump announced that on day one, he would reissue his 2020 executive order establishing the Schedule F employment category for federal employees, making it easier to remove insubordinate and poorly performing bureaucrats from an estimated...

According to court documents, Iranian officials asked one of the men charged, Farhad Shakeri, in September to focus on surveilling and ultimately assassinating Trump.

The Iranian government instructed one of its agents to stalk and assassinate former President Donald Trump this past September, according to a bombshell indictment unsealed by Manhattan federal prosecutors Friday. The indictment, which charges Iranian Farhad Shakeri and two New Yorkers with murder for hire and conspiracy, states that an unnamed official in Iran’s notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) instructed Shakeri in the final weeks of the 2024 campaign to “focus on surveilling, and, ultimately, assassinating, former President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.” Prosecutors say that when Shakeri noted that the plot would “cost a ‘huge’ amount...

The brass on the seventh floor at FBI headquarters in Washington are walking around in a daze and wary of a housecleaning since President-elect Donald Trump won his reelection on Tuesday, according to inside sources. The Washington Times learned through several anonymous bureau sources that senior executives who run the agency were “stunned” and “shell-shocked” by Mr. Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. “You know the fit test? How they let the standards slack on the fit test?” the first FBI source said, referring to the agency’s physical fitness requirements. “Everyone’s going to have a real problem when they’re...

Philippe Reines has a well-earned reputation as one of the most odious operatives in politics. No wonder Hillary Clinton made him a close adviser! Reines is the guy who taunted Donald Trump, Jr., writing that every time he was intimate with his wife, she was fantasizing about a former Latino boyfriend. Even Chelsea Clinton found Reines' comment "vile." Reines turns up regularly on CNN This Morning, and on today's show said: "Donald Trump is about as complicated to some of us, and to me, to figure out as a clogged toilet is to a plumber."Get the rest of the story...

Sara Haines told her co-host Friday on ABC’s “The View” that “not everyone who voted” for President-elect Donald Trump was racist and misogynist. Partial transcript as follows: HAINES: We need to be introspective. If we voted for Kamala Harris, we need to say what didn’t resonate with the voters. You know what didn’t resonate with the voters when they were saying we don’t feel safe and the left focus on defund the police and bail reform. When they were focused on renaming schools, there were people saying, “Hey, students are destroying colleges. I paid for that. I sent them there....

78% in. 770,000 ballots to go. She needs about 52% of the rest to win and the trend is moving her way.

If there were any lingering doubts about whether Democrats did the right thing by pushing Joe Biden off the ticket in July, any remaining thought that maybe the president — even in a somewhat diminished state — was right to think that he could have beaten Donald Trump, then the exit polls from this week’s election should have put them to rest. Because however history remembers Biden (and I think it will be kinder), it’s clear that a solid majority of Americans have determined his presidency to be a decisive failure. In Pennsylvania and Georgia, states Biden narrowly won in...

We don't yet know if the hump disappeared after childhood. None of the previously discovered mummies had a hump. Image credit: Tiberio via Wikimedia Commons (public domain) For the first time ever, researchers have uncovered the mummified remains of a woolly rhinoceros with a big old hump on the back of its neck. Curiously absent in all other known specimens of the Ice Age megafauna, this fatty bulge attests to the remarkable accuracy of ancient cave paintings depicting rhinos with hunched backs. More than 35,000 years ago, prehistoric artists decorated the walls of the Chauvet Cave in France with stunningly...

In 1981, beachgoers at Marina Beach were surprised to spot hang glider Patty Butler soaring through the skies with her pet cat, Puddy. Originally from New Jersey, Butler, a professional ice skater turned glider, said Puddy was confused at first but soon settled in. "People are pretty amazed," she said. "They don’t notice him until I land." Butler crafted a custom papoose so Puddy could experience the thrill of flying safely right on her back. The sight of a cat gliding over the ocean with his owner was enough to make anyone do a double-take, proving that flying isn’t just...

The long-awaited arrival of ballots from Arizona’s Maricopa County has brought good news to Kari Lake, the firebrand U.S. Senate candidate still in the running against Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). The Lake campaign on Thursday night revealed that the Republican picked up 57.39% of the nearly 70,000-ballot drop from Maricopa County. The result puts her a hair’s width of overtaking Gallego’s 0.7% lead; he holds a 43,846-vote lead with over 75% of the vote counted, according to NBC News. A third-party candidate, Eduardo Quintana, managed to siphon away more than that, or 53,596 votes.

The Deep State’s go-to guy is scrambling to get back into President Trump’s good graces. Bill Barr, one of the most disloyal AGs on record, is suddenly back—and wow, has he changed his tune? ... ... Nothing scares these unelected bureaucrats more than seeing their psyops, schemes, and propaganda backfire, forcing them to realize, “Crap, we’ve lost power.” You can see it clearly in Barr’s new calls for the regime to drop all charges—a statement that reads like a white flag blowing in the wind. .
