A yelling match erupted during a congressional hearing Thursday on the attempted assassinations against President-elect Donald Trump, as one congressman accused acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe of attending a 9/11 memorial event as part of a publicity stunt.

Pat Fallon displayed a picture of Rowe standing behind President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris during a 9/11 commemorative event in New York City in September. Trump and Vice President-elect Sen. JD Vance also attended the...

A House Republican is pushing to award Daniel Penny the highest civilian honor that Congress can award, and I'm all for it. Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz) plans to introduce a resolution to grant the Congressional Gold Medal to Penny, the U.S. Marine veteran who defended himself and fellow passengers against a threatening homeless man on a crowded New York City subway, before being unjustly prosecuted by D.A. Alvin Bragg. "Daniel Penny’s actions exemplify what it means to stand against the grain to do right in a world that rewards moral cowardice," said Crane. "Our system of ‘justice’ is fiercely corrupt,...

First ¢ : Everything counts in large amounts. Depeche Mode Some commentators called Trump’s win euphorically a “landslide”, but looking at the absolute numbers, this is clearly exaggerated. Trump got roughly 75 Million votes, and repeated his own result from 2020. He did not attract much more than last time, while Harris got around 72 Million and lost nearly 10 Million votes for the Democrats, compared to Biden’s result in 2020. Many voters who went to the polls in 2020, stayed at home this time and opened the possibility for a major shift in the voter base for both parties....

An Associated Press report dug into “buy now, pay later” programs and the problems they can cause. They can be particularly attractive to people with poor or no credit histories. There’s been press over the years arguing that the Gen Z demographic — those born between 1997 and 2021 — has been particularly enamored of the arrangements and that somehow it is putting them in debt more than any other generation.Except, they aren’t.Buy Now Pay LaterLet’s start with BNPL programs. In theory, they can sound fine for someone without available credit, or who doesn’t want to use up more: installation...

According to the ongoing reports, the nightly visits by strange vehicles and lights in the sky continued into last night in multiple New Jersey counties. There is no consensus as to whether the phenomena is related to mere drones or something more mystical, but the flight capabilities of some seem to outpace what is thought to be possible with current known drone technology. So even if these objects are some advanced weaponry or intel gathering tool belonging to China, they appear to be so different from our own technology that we aren’t quite sure how to categorize them yet. There...

Serving as the @GOP co-chair throughout the course of the most consequential election in American history has truly been the honor of my life. At the RNC, we had three distinct goals: 1) surpass all fundraising records 2) build the largest army of lawyers and poll watchers to ensure election integrity and, 3) turn out millions of Americans and low prepencity voters during early voting. We accomplished all three. The job I came to do is now complete and I intend to formally step down from the RNC at our next meeting. Thank you to our incredible team at the...

President-elect Donald Trump is blaming former President Obama for the current conflict in Syria, in which the Syrian government fell after Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and rebel forces seized control of Damascus, prompting Syrian President Bashar Assad, his wife, and his three children to flee Syria on Saturday. Trump accused Obama of failing to intervene in the 2013 conflict when the Syrian government used chemical weapons as a form of attack. Obama had said that was the “red line” that would have moved the U.S. to get involved. “Russia, because they are so tied up in Ukraine, and with the...

The Syrian people are exuberant about the end of the Bashar al-Assad regime. But there is one atrocity by this notorious family that has been described as “one of the darkest moments in the modern history of the Arab world.” That is the 1982 encirclement, starvation and mass execution of the residents of the Syrian city of Hama. This atrocity was committed by Bashar’s father, Hafez al-Assad. Last Friday, residents of Hama tore down the statue of Hafez al-Assad while the city fell to rebels. While much of the world just saw it as another Syrian city falling, its significance...
