Establishment economists are threatening President-elect Donald Trump with a new round of inflation if he restores Americans’ civil right to a secure national border. But the free market will manage the inflation threat by hiring Americans in place of deported migrants, and by investing in productivity-raising machinery, responded EJ Antoni, an economist at the Heritage Foundation. “I see no reason why the adjustment would not happen almost immediately,” he told Breitbart News.

The election may be over, but the battle has begun. Activism, support and prayers are needed now more than ever as those we trust to put America back on the right path begin the fight. President Trump and the RNC might be wise to release a commercial that thanks the American people, those long time supporters as well as those new to the MAGA movement. Thank everyone for the trust and confidence in President Trump and those he selects in his administration. And most importantly, stress to Americans how important it is for this new American agenda to proceed and...

"Locomotive Breath" was released on Jethro Tull's 1971 album Aqualung. An edit of the song was released in the US as a single in 1971, backed with "Wind-Up", though it did not chart.

In his new book 'Citizen', which is scheduled to come out next week, Clinton, now 78, described his interactions with the convicted pedophile. The excerpts, first reported by The US Sun, show him admitting that he had flown on Esptein's private jet, the Lolita Express, in 2002 and 2003.

Democratic lawmakers are enraged at Donald Trump's recent picks for Cabinet and West Wing, saying his selections are downright 'dangerous.' The president-elect has stirred controversy after nominating a rash of hardline conservatives and MAGA loyalists, some with questionable qualifications, to top positions in the executive branch. Two of the most polarizing nominations have been Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services Secretary and ex-Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general.

The Onion’s winning bid for Alex Jones ’ Infowars platform is under review by a federal bankruptcy judge after Jones and his lawyers complained about how an auction was conducted. The satirical news outlet was announced as the winning bidder on Thursday in an auction that is part of Jones’ personal bankruptcy. Hours later, Infowars headquarters in Austin, Texas and its websites were shut down and Jones was broadcasting from a new studio he had set up before the bankruptcy auction. By Friday morning, Infowars and its websites were back up and running for reasons that were not entirely clear....

President-elect Donald Trump has decided to bring his barefisted advisor Steven Cheung to the White House as his communications director. Cheung, who made his bones in communications at the Ultimate Fighting Championship, previously served in the White House during Trump's first term as director of strategic response. He was responsible for delivering tart responses to the press as comms director for the Trump campaign, which modelled the candidate in taking a sledgehammer to political rivals.

Just 20 years ago, New York City was racked with crime: murders, burglaries, drug deals, car thefts, thefts from cars. (Remember the signs in car windows advising no radio?) Unlike many cities’ crime problems, New York’s were not limited to a few inner-city neighborhoods that could be avoided. Bryant Park, in the heart of midtown and adjacent to the New York Public Library, was an open-air drug market; Grand Central Terminal, a gigantic flophouse; the Port Authority Bus Terminal, “a grim gauntlet for bus passengers dodging beggars, drunks, thieves, and destitute drug addicts,” as the New York Times put it...

The Chester County District Attorney's Office announced an update Friday in the death investigation of Ellen Greenberg. The district attorney's office said they are unable to move forward with criminal charges and are placing the investigation into an "inactive status." "The investigative team determined that, based on the current state of the evidence, we cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was committed," the DA's office said in a statement. Greenberg was 27 years old when she was found dead of more than 20 stab wounds inside her locked Manayunk apartment in 2011

Collegiate women’s volleyball players filed multiple lawsuits on Wednesday against the Mountain West Conference over the inclusion of trans-identifying male players in their sport. A dozen women have cited violations of their First Amendment rights and Title IX protections in response to San Jose State University’s biologically male star player Blaire Fleming’s participation in the MWC, prompting four schools in the conference to forfeit games against SJSU, OutKick reported. Several of Flemings’ SJSU teammates, like Captain Brooke Slusser and two former Spartans — along with female athletes from four other colleges — are part of the suit against the conference,...

BRUSSELS - Leaders of Europe’s far-right political parties are jubilant at Donald Trump’s electoral victory in the US. They see Trump’s impending return to the White House as a good omen for right-wing European populists. And they are eager to use his electoral slogans and strategies in future European ballots. Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, an old Trump fan whose country currently holds the rotating EU presidency, hailed the US elections results as a monumental turning point. “The world is going to change, and change in a quicker way than before,” Mr Orban proclaimed on Nov 9, after hosting a...

Here we go...Bayern Munich will be back on the pitch tomorrow!When former Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski transferred to FC Barcelona, he could not imagine that he would be embroiled in an international scandal. If it is true, a fake Pini Zahavi (as first reported by Cadena SER), succeeded in initially duping the Catalans — and almost collected a hefty fee in a scheme that was fitting of a Nigerian Prince. Let’s dive in: A joint investigation by the German magazine ‘Der Spiegel’, the anti-crime network ‘OCCRP’, the Spanish radio station ‘Cadena SER’ and the Dutch platform ‘Follow The Money’...

Dave McCormick’s top campaign strategist declared victory for his client in Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race, again. Lawyers for incumbent U.S. Sen. Robert P. Casey’s campaign battled in county courthouses across the state for dozens of votes here, hundreds there. State officials, meanwhile, noted that with an automatic recount triggered, it will be Nov. 27 before anything is finally certified. That was Thursday in the trench warfare that is the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race. But here’s the all-important context: As of 5 p.m. Thursday, Republican McCormick was holding onto a 24,409-vote lead, or a margin of .35 percent. According to data...

The social media account on X for the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, posted a job listing announcement on Thursday morning calling for “revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week.” “We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don’t need more part-time idea generators,” the DOGE account on X said in a post. The message on X went on to describe a little about what a job at DOGE would entail under billionaire Elon Musk and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy‘s leadership. “We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries...

Former vice president Mike Pence, who became the target of a violent mob of Donald Trump supporters on January 6, 2021, said on Tuesday he does not think the president-elect should pardon rioters and prays that Trump maintains his commitment to the Constitution.

'I've got all the time in the world.'Scammers worldwide are making off big. Last year alone, the Federal Trade Commission estimates US consumers lost a record $10 billion due to fraud, a 14% increase from just one year prior. More and more, scammers are targeting older, vulnerable people over the phone. Over than two-thirds of UK residents over the age of 75 surveyed in a recent research paper claimed they had experienced at least one fraud attempt in the past six months. 40% of those respondents faced frequent fraud attempts. Now, an AI-generated UK grandmother named “Daisy” is trying scammers’...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Reports circulated today that President-Elect Donald Trump was worried that large numbers of corrupt government officials would start quitting before he would have the opportunity to tell them, "You're fired." Sources indicated that one of the things Trump had been looking forward to most in his return to the White House was having the opportunity to personally say "You're fired" to record numbers of career bureaucrats and underperforming government employees, an experience that would be denied him if they all quit before January 20, 2025. "It's my catchphrase," Trump reportedly said wistfully with his head in his...
