As American families struggled to pay the bills, the Biden-Harris administration squandered billions of taxpayer dollars on illegal migrants and woke “racism” research. Without spending a penny, we can easily identify not racism but extreme bias against law-abiding American citizens in every policy Democrats implement. This was the America Last administration, as shocking numbers released by Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) illustrate. DOGE, headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, released statistics culled from multiple think tanks and research entities illustrating how onerous the cost of illegal migration is on the U.S. taxpayer. “In 2023 alone, illegal...

WORLD — After receiving a compelling email, a confused senior citizen has reportedly pledged to give one billion dollars to an exiled Nigerian prince. According to sources, the exiled Prince has promised to repay the elderly man the billion dollar sum and then further shower him with untold riches as thanks. "This fella from Niger, Nigeria, he's had it bad, folks. Exiled! Betrayed! Beat down!" exclaimed the elderly man, named Joseph R. Biden. "I couldn't just stand by. Plus, he has an incredible sum of rupees hidden in a cave that he'll be able to access after I wire the...

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal-elect Pablo David wants to rehabilitate Judas — and share the Eucharist with everyone, no matter whatAt the ordination of the new Bishop of Cubao, Cardinal-elect Pablo David—scheduled to receive the red hat in just a few days, on December 7—was the homilist. The homily implied that the Holy Eucharist should be given to anyone, even to grave sinners, and that Jesus gave the Eucharist to Judas as a sign of forgiveness. He posted this homily online, where it quickly attracted “likes” and shares. Here are the relevant excerpts:Episcopal Ordination and Canonical Possession of Bishop Elias L. Ayuban,...

Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement director and incoming Trump Border Czar Tom Homan has been in a verbal war with sanctuary city mayors for weeks, warning them to get out of the way when federal authorites come to their towns looking for criminal illegal aliens. During an interview with Fox News Tuesday night, Homan upped the ante and warned local authorities that harboring illegal aliens is a felony. "There will be consequences," Homan said. HOMAN: “You can sit there & watch! Get out of the way. We’re doing it…It is a felony to knowingly harbor & conceal an illegal alien...

I am so sick of Joe and Hunter Biden, but Lord, forgive me, I have to keep writing about them. At least today's story is as entertaining as those two are revolting. On Sunday, as you're well aware, Presidentish Biden issued one of the most sweeping pardons in presidential history for offenses his son "has committed or may have committed or taken part in" for an 11-year stretch going back to when the then-vice president and his offspring/bagman were playing footsie with Vladimir Putin's (since deposed) cronies in Kyiv. But federal judge Mark C. Scarsi is done with their excuses....

He was arrested on the football field at Edward Waters University in the middle of this Saturday’s game, when he ran onto the field and was tackled by Duval County School Police and Jacksonville Sheriff’s officers and taken into custody.

The wife of slain health insurance CEO Brian Thompson claimed Wednesday that her husband had been getting threats before he was gunned down in Midtown Manhattan. “There had been some threats,” Paulette Thompson told NBC News in her first comments since her husband was murdered early Wednesday. “Basically, I don’t know, a lack of coverage?” she said, referring to her 50-year-old husband’s role as CEO of UnitedHealthcare’s insurance division. “I don’t know details. I just know that he said there were some people that had been threatening him,” she told NBC News by phone. “I can’t really give a thoughtful...

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was accused of insider trading and fraud by tghe Department of Justice before he was assassinated on Wednesday in Manhattan. Thompson, 50, was shot dead in what NYPD officials believe was a targeted attack as he exited the Hilton hotel before an investor conference. His killer remains on the loose. Last year the DoJ launched a probe into whether the nation's biggest insurer, led by Thompson, was unfairly restricting competitors and running a monopoly.

NEW YORK -- The jury in the case against Daniel Penny continued to deliberate the case on Wednesday. A note from the jury asked for several pieces of video. The jury wanted to see police body camera footage, Penny's interrogation video, and a bystander's video. The Marine veteran is charged with using a fatal chokehold to subdue a New York subway rider whose behavior was alarming other passengers. The anonymous jury is weighing manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide charges in the death of Jordan Neely, a troubled street performer who was homeless. The veteran, Penny, has pleaded not guilty and...

Mayor Eric Adams defended Daniel Penny as a Manhattan jury on Tuesday started deliberating whether to convict him of choking a troubled homeless man to death on the subway — insisting the Marine veteran was doing “what we should have done as a city.” Hizzoner said he hoped jurors would “make the right decision” in the lightning-rod case as he blasted the “failure” of the Big Apple’s mental health system for not doing more to help Jordan Neely in the lead up to the fatal 2023 subway encounter. “The young man, in this case, was going within our system, throughout...

President Joe Biden issued a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, claiming that he was unfairly prosecuted for political reasons. He issued the pardon on Sunday despite repeated claims by him and his White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre that he would never do so. In a statement released Sunday, the president argued that his son was “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted” due to his connection to the Democratic commander-in-chief. While Biden’s move drew criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, it’s only the latest in a long, bipartisan line of controversial presidential pardons. Here's a list of four other controversial presidential...

Former ESPN personality Jemele Hill has finally made her pronouncement about the 2024 election, and it might surprise you to discover that she thinks Kamala Harris lost because of “racism” and “sexism.” Well, maybe “surprise” isn’t the word since it was predictable that she would ascribe Harris’s loss to racism and sexism because she describes everything that ails America to racism and sexism. Immediately after the election, Hill refrained from commenting on the outcome of the 2024 election. But she is now speaking up, and what she has to say is not just predictable but arrogant, as well, because she...

David Cassady, 55, a convicted violent sodomizer serving life behind bars at Phillips State Prison in Georgia, is set to receive a taxpayer-funded sex change after suing for one last December—a lawsuit supported by the Justice Department. Cassady and Georgia’s Department of Corrections filed a joint status report Monday, revealing the impending sex-change surgery. Cassady’s lawsuit was filed anonymously under the “Jane Done” pseudonym, but Headline USA uncovered the inmate’s true identity in July. “The Gender Dysphoria Committee convened on November 1, 2024. The Committee has medically cleared Ms. Doe for surgery and has informed the Georgia Department of Corrections...

President Joe Biden’s selection to command the US Army in Europe and Africa was quietly promoted to full general Monday after a delay that might have had something to do with his role in the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Lieut-Gen. Christopher Donahue was the commander of the 82nd Airborne when US forces left Afghanistan and also left billions of dollars of military hardware to the Taliban. The Senate agreed to his promotion after at least one of its members finally dropped his reservations about it, Politico reported. Donahue's file was not part of a bundle of...

[cut] This quote came in response to a question from Breitbart News about where Tillis stands on Hegseth’s nomination, and the fact that Tillis’s office is saying that he will vote for every Trump nominee that gets reported favorably out of committee is extremely important and a huge shot in the arm for Hegseth, as the Trump Pentagon pick faces an onslaught of attacks from the establishment media.

The Ukrainian president is still set on joining Nato, but Trump's team seems to have ruled that out. MORE details of Donald Trump’s clever plan to bring a swift end to the war in Ukraine have emerged. Trump's top team has hatched a carrot and stick plan to force the warring leaders to the discussion table and bring peace to the region when he enters office in January. The clever scheme uses America’s military support for Ukraine as a double-edged sword to encourage Zelensky and threaten panicky Putin. If the Russian war-mongerer kept snatching land and refused to join peace...
