Democrats need to come to terms not only with their lawfare failures against Donald Trump. They need to recognize their stake in cleaning up the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The eternal problem of intelligence agencies: Empowered to classify information to hide it from America’s enemies, they can hide their own misdeeds and blunders from the American public. Example: using “objectively false” (the Justice Department inspector general’s words) and likely fabricated Russian intelligence as a pretext for improper actions in the Hillary Clinton email case, which bumblingly may have elected Mr. Trump in 2016. Terry McAuliffe—Clinton loyalist, former Democratic Party chief...

"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin claimed that President-elect Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign didn't discuss high egg prices during the latest episode of the daytime ABC talk show. While expressing frustration over voters prioritizing kitchen table issues over Trump’s alleged threat to democracy, Hostin declared that Trump didn’t even talk about core economic issues – such as the price of eggs – during his campaign. "Most people are saying, ‘Well this was a kitchen table issue, this was about the cost of eggs.' Donald Trump never talked about the price of eggs," Hostin said on Tuesday. Despite Hostin’s allegation, Trump spoke...

Raja Cholan, Chief of the Health Data Standards Branch at the U.S. National Library of Medicine for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has raised eyebrows with his candid remarks on COVID vaccines, global health strategies, and their broader implications. Cholan admitted he has chosen not to receive the latest COVID vaccine boosters, citing mixed evidence of their efficacy: “I haven’t gotten the latest COVID shots, and I’m not going to… there’s mixed evidence about if it really does anything.” He also expressed concerns over the risks the vaccine poses to younger individuals, saying, “For people that are 30 or...

The growing scandal plaguing MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton has been “ricocheting around the halls” of 30 Rock, with his colleagues calling it a “bridge too far” for them, Fox News Digital has learned. On Tuesday, MSNBC said it was “unaware” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign paid $500,000 to Sharpton’s National Action Network nonprofit ahead of a friendly interview with the Democratic nominee just weeks before the election. “MSNBC was unaware of the donations made to the National Action Network,” an MSNBC spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon, which first broke the story. Harris sat down for a...

Don’t you think it is strange that humanity faces the possibility of extinction and there is no peace movement? Does our insouciance extend so far that we are indifferent to our existence? Even alternative media sites such as Simplicius downplay the threat On November 18, 2024, the US and NATO fired from Ukrainian soil missiles into Russia despite the Russian government’s clear announcement that such reckless action would initiate war between the West and Russia. The Western presstitutes reported that Ukraine fired the US and UK supplied missiles, but this is a lie. The Ukrainians are not trained to operate...

An effort to remove Boris Epshteyn from his role as a top adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump appears to have failed, with Trump expressing public support for Epshteyn, and the pair appearing together at Mar-a-Lago as recently as yesterday evening, The National Pulse can reveal. Allegations were leaked to corporate media outlets CNN, CBS, and JustTheNews, falsely suggesting that Epshteyn had tried to solicit monthly consulting fees from potential administration nominees in exchange for advocacy within the administration. In truth, individuals are said to have approached Epshteyn offering cash, to which the lawyer replied, “You can’t buy me.”

Katie Porter (D-Irvine) secured a temporary restraining order Tuesday against a former boyfriend, saying in dozens of pages of court filings that he had bombarded her, as well as her family and colleagues, with hundreds of messages that she described as “persistent abuse and harassment.” Porter, 50, alleged in a filing with Orange County Superior Court that her ex-boyfriend Julian Willis, 55, was contacting her and her family with such frequency that she had a “significant fear” for her “personal safety and emotional well-being.” Judge Stephen T.

Some social media users have started to fight back after women are shaving their heads to protest President-elect Donald Trump's second administration. What started as a trend on TikTok for women to shave their heads in protest of the election results has become somewhat a more sensitive topic for others with alopecia and those who had to shave their heads for diseases like cancer, conditions where baldness is not always a choice. "To the women shaving their head for the 4B Movement, you say you're saving your head so 'men won't want you' but does that mean that men shouldn't...

Former Secretary of State John Kerry claimed that there is a “climate emergency,” and suggested that Africans without electricity must select “the right kinds of electricity,” likely referring to green energy production, and that the U.S. must help them to afford it. Kerry made the comments at a speaking event at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics on Thursday. The Democrat suggested there will be a need to “declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have. And we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet.”...

A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed January 6 defendant Ray Epps' year-long defamation lawsuit against Fox News, ruling that Epps failed to "state a claim." Epps, who some conservatives had speculated was an undercover FBI agent sent by the bureau to stoke the January 6 riot in 2021, filed the lawsuit last year, claiming that an indictment from the Justice Department might not have surfaced against him if it wasn't for Fox's coverage. The January 6 defendant also argued that Fox News and former host Tucker Carlson engaged in a "years-long campaign spreading falsehoods about Epps." Those falsehoods, the original...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General Sweepstakes has taken an interesting turn after Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration for the role in the next Presidential Administration. President Donald Trump now nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his next selection… and the pro-abortion industry isn’t happy about the pick at all. The pro-abortion news outlet the 19th notes in a report that “[Bondi] also defended a Florida law that at the time required women to wait 24 hours after meeting with a physician to receive an abortion.” Additionally, in a press release, the pro-abortion...

Musk added that Vindman, who played a central role in the first impeachment of then-President Trump, “will pay the appropriate penalty.”In a response...

Very interesting article on how the Trump Campaign used Marc Elias’s tactics against the Democrats to help win the election, instead of fighting the idea of early voting and mail in ballots the Republicans led by Trump campaign insiders and Republican grassroots organizations around the country worked together and embraced early voting and mail in ballots to give Trump the winning edge in the battleground states
