As the weeks go by I have to admit that I have incredible joy inside, however the left is incapable of blaming themselves for their own disaster. It really all started with the clintons and their political correctness, their use of raw FBI files to Blackmail their opponents, they're pushing of the don't talk about politics and religion, Whichl Americans really should do. Then Obama walked through the doors, a well-educated, well spoken, well-placed from the inside loins of American communists. Historically obama kept his promise to fundamentally change america. Trump coming on the scene forced the left to Leapfrog...

The Biden administration's eleventh hour move to expand Medicare coverage for anti-obesity drugs is likely to be popular among seniors, putting the Trump administration — which would ultimately decide whether to carry out the expansion — in the hot seat. Why it matters: The buzzy class of drugs known as GLP-1 agonists have been hailed as game changers amid an obesity crisis tied to chronic diseases. But the drugs are pricey, and insurers, advocacy groups and policymakers warn that opening up coverage for them could be a recipe for runaway costs in an already financially taxed system. Driving the news:...

A prominent Democratic strategist has advised Kamala Harris to never run again for president following her landslide loss to president Trump.Theryn Bond made the comments Wednesday in an interview with Newsmax, following the release of a video by Harris in which she appeared dishevelled and, some have speculated, drunk, telling supporters to keep fighting.According to Politico, Harris has told advisors she is “staying in the fight” and may be considering another presidential run in 2028 or the launch of a gubernatorial campaign in California.“[Her political ambitions should] not be to run for president again in 2028, please don’t,” Bond urged...

The University of Michigan’s (UM) multi-million dollar diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program may soon be dismantled. The university’s board of regents has reportedly asked UM president Santa Ono “to defund or restructure” the DEI office amid growing criticism and public pressure, according to emails shared on X.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence to seemingly brown-nose the soon-to-be commander-in-chief to reportedly be a part of Trump’s revolutionary change in the United States. Despite lying to Congress about censoring conservatives, Zuckerberg visited Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida home on Wednesday to be a part of his “reform movement” that the incoming administration is leading. Trump adviser Stephen Miller confirmed Trump and Zuckerberg’s meeting, saying that the Facebook founder views Trump's second term as a chance at "national renewal” in the country. He said that although Zuckerberg has his own company and his...

Nov 28 (Reuters) - Russia may use its new Oreshnik hypersonic missile to attack "decision-making centres" in Kyiv in response to Ukraine's firing of Western missiles at Russian territory, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday. Russia has not so far struck Ukrainian government ministries, parliament or the president's office in the course of the 33-month war. Kyiv is heavily protected by air defences, but Putin says the Oreshnik, which Russia fired for the first time at a Ukrainian city last week, is incapable of being intercepted - a claim greeted with scepticism by Western experts. "Of course, we will respond...

President-elect Trump has stated that success will be his revenge. While those of us on the right pray that his next term will be successful, there are distinctions between revenge and justice. Revenge is emotional, personal, vindictive and cyclic, whereas justice is rational, impersonal, and brings about vindication and closure.We’re seeing what happens when people break the law with impunity. Those who commit smash-and-grab burglaries are given a slap on the wrist, when and if they’re apprehended. Stories of public figures committing blatant crimes flash across our screens and then fade into the ether. Millions of illegals are welcomed into...

A Denver Gazette reporter is not entitled to inspect the disciplinary records of Denver school administrators because a state statute protects the confidentiality of educator evaluations and all documents “used in preparing” those reports, the Colorado Court of Appeals decided Wednesday. In a ruling that carves out a major exception to existing case law regarding the disclosure of public employees’ disciplinary files, a three-judge panel of the state’s second-highest court determined that it must construe the language of the Colorado Licensed Personnel Performance Act (CLPPEA) “as drafted.” And that statute “unequivocally bars school districts from disclosing to third parties” the...

Iconoclast: Pelosi’s Jan. 6 Narrative Collapsing Jan. 6 was not “an insurrection,” but “a protest that became a riot when a woefully insufficient security plan collapsed,” argues Jonathan Turley at The Hill. Nancy Pelosi’s “House Select Committee to investigate Jan. 6” pushed the narrative that it “ was an attempt to overthrow our democracy by Trump and his supporters,” but “fostered false accounts” and dismissed evidence that “confirmed that Trump did, in fact, offer the deployment of the National Guard in anticipation of the protest.” Now a new report “shows that it was the Defense Department that delayed the eventual...

The Danish mobile network has been large. According to the communications manager of the mobile operator TDC Net, no specific customers or locations are affected. The lack of cellular coverage is arbitrary across the country. »The whole country is sporadically affected «, said Lasse Bjerre Sørensen. Accordingly, it could take time for the network to be back in operation. »We are very sorry that we are currently unable to offer the service that customers need. The administrator of the Danish rail network, Banedanmark, reports errors in the digital signal system in the west of the country. You have therefore ceased...
