From the moment Donald J. Trump came down the Trump Tower escalator in 2015, he’s been anything but a conventional politician. He’s consistently told Americans the unvarnished truth about everything from anti-worker “free trade” deals to our broken immigration system, from endless wars abroad to our two-tiered justice system. Instead of caring about “conventional wisdom” or political orthodoxy, he’s been committed to doing what’s best for the American people. And that’s exactly why everyday Americans, fed up with our country’s rudderless leadership, resoundingly re-elected President Trump. Democrats and the media are naturally apoplectic about President Trump extending his unique way...

A US woman who flew to Australia with a gold plated pistol in her luggage has been sentenced to a year behind bars, despite claiming she brought it with her for protection. Liliana Goodson pleaded guilty to charges of illegally importing an unauthorised firearm and illegally importing ammunition. The 30-year-old on Monday was sentenced in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court to a 12-month jail term, of which four months will be served in full-time custody. Goodson was taken into custody immediately following the hearing and forced to remove her extensive jewelry before being handcuffed and led from the court. Goodson...

US President Joe Biden delivered remarks on Sunday regarding the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime. Biden said at the beginning of his remarks that while Assad's whereabouts are uncertain, "there is word that he's in Moscow." He proclaimed: "At long last, the Assad regime has fallen. This regime brutalized, tortured, and killed nearly hundreds and thousands of innocent Syrians. The fall of the regime is a fundamental act of justice, it's a moment of historic opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a future for their country." Biden stated that the US will work with partners...

On "CNN News Central," reporter Harry Enten and anchor Kate Bolduan discussed polling data showing a large drop in the public's confidence in the FBI. Enten said "in 2014 59% of Americans, 62% of Republicans, and 54% of Democrats thought the FBI did a good or excellent job. In the 2024 survey the numbers were 41% of Americans, 26% of Republicans, and 67% of Democrats. "That's a big difference," Bolduan said. "What do you think accounts for this?" "Well, it seems that the FBI's actions over recent years have included suppressing incriminating data on Hunter Biden's laptop prior to the...

When Vladimir Putin took the reins of power in a post-Soviet Russia in shambles a quarter-century ago, he immediately set about restoring Moscow's status as a global power. It took 15 years, but Russia heralded its military intervention in the Syrian civil war as proof of its return as a force to be reckoned with on the international stage. Moscow leveraged that image to expand its influence throughout the Middle East and beyond as a counterweight to the West. Now, the fall of the government of President Bashar al-Assad, a key ally of Moscow, has dealt a serious blow to...

The U.S. government has appealed the nationwide preliminary injunction—and FinCEN has backed off of its position that filings should continue. FinCEN now says that "reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports." Earlier this week, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas threw the fate of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) into question, blocking the U.S. Department of Treasury from enforcing the beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements across the country. Now, the U.S. government has appealed the nationwide preliminary injunction—and FinCEN has backed off of its position that filings should...

“. . . Being found in appearance as a man” (Philippians 2:8). Many people view Christ only as a man, but He is God. After winning a gold medal at the 1924 Olympics in Paris, Scottish runner Eric Liddell served as a missionary in China; he died in a prison camp during World War II. The camp’s prisoners loved Eric, for he served them so unselfishly. It was only at his funeral that they first learned he was an Olympic hero. They had had no idea of his full identity. Most people didn’t realize Christ’s full identity either, for He...

The FBI is seeking information on the leadership of the al Nusrah Front (ANF), a foreign terrorist organization, to include information on Muhammad al-Jawlani. Today, the U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice program announced a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the identification or location of Muhammad al-Jawlani. In 2011 al-Jawlani, also known as Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani, Abu Mohammed al-Julani, and Abu Muhammad al-Golani, established ANF. In 2013, al-Jawlani, as a leader of ANF, pledged the organization’s allegiance to al Qaeda and its leadership. In 2016, al-Jawlani claimed that the ANF was changing its name...

Amid misinformation online, Garda sources said nobody who was applying for international protection, or had ever applied, was linked to the case A man has been arrested in relation to the fatal stabbing of eight-year-old Malika Noor Al Katib in Co Wexford on Sunday.

Documentary about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, with testimony from the "man on the grassy knoll" himself, James E. Files. At first, reluctant to talk, Files eventually confessed, implicating organized crime members, Charles Nicoletti, Johnny Roselli, and Sam Giancana, as well as his own role in the crime of the century. Transcript linked below video.

Navy Seal Author and Historian Matt Bracken returns to the podcast to talk the collapse of Syria, the global aspect, the impact on the Russian military bases there, the new front of WWIII, Trump’s response and much more.

“Expert” claims a torrent of diseases will “come crashing down” on the Trump administration “on January 21st.” Ardent vaccine promoter Dr. Peter Hotez recently appeared on MSNBC’s ‘Deadline: White House’ with Nicolle Wallace to predict doom and gloom for the incoming Trump administration. He told Wallace, “We have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21st,” before rattling off a list of scary viruses, which included bird flu, SARS, dengue, yellow fever, whooping cough, measles, polio, Zika, and something called the Oropouche virus. Oh, and of course, a new coronavirus, saying, “We have another major coronavirus...

People in the Philadelphia area are reporting seeing large drones in the sky. This, as authorities in New Jersey push for answers on their own mystery drone sightings over the past few weeks. Action News was swarmed by viewers sending videos of drone sightings. Numerous reports were sent to Action News about flying objects in Media and Broomall in Delaware County, as well as in Philadelphia's Mayfair section and in Cherry Hill, Camden County. New Jersey State Police were surveying the drones in Lebanon, Hunterdon County on Saturday night.

A Philadelphia man who was exonerated and given a $4.1 million settlement after serving 24 years in prison for a murder conviction that was dropped is headed back to prison — for a separate killing. Shaurn Thomas — who was freed from a life sentence in 2017 after his 1992 murder conviction was overturned — pleaded guilty last Thursday to a 2023 slaying, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Thomas, 50, was convicted of gunning down his girlfriend’s friend, Akeem Edwards, last year after the 38-year-old father allegedly failed to pay out $1,200 for the cocaine Thomas gave him to sell ......

As Mark Steyn recently wrote: December 6th marked the thirty-fifth anniversary of the ‘Montreal Massacre’ - a grim day in 1989 when fourteen female students at the École Polytechnique were murdered by a man known to posterity as ‘Marc Lépine.’ Ever since, Steyn writes, Canada flies its flags at half-mast on each successive December 6th. And blames men for the fourteen women murdered by Lépine ... who was born Gamil Gharbi and was the son of a known Algerian Muslim wife-beater, though, as Steyn notes, “you wouldn't know that from the press coverage.” The most relevant—and tragic—aspect of the tragedy...

Joe Biden just gave his son his Christmas present — a 10-year “get out of jail free” card. And apparently, he’s still caught up in spirit of giving. Politico reports that Joe is considering a raft of pardons for a rogue’s gallery of federal miscreants. It seems our “nobody is above the law” chief executive realizes that those who have undermined our Constitution in service to the Democrat party may need a bit of legal protection from the incoming Trump administration. SNIP President-Elect Trump ran on a promise to attack government corruption, and he has nominated people to leadership positions...

Denmark received no bids in its largest-ever wind power tender, aimed to more than triple its offshore capacity by the end of the decade. The Danish Energy Agency hadn’t received a single bid in a tender for three offshore wind farms in the North Sea by Thursday’s deadline, it said in a statement. It now will initiate a dialog with the market to find out why. Denmark’s Climate and Energy Minister Lars Aagaard called the results “very disappointing” and said they were “not at all what was expected” when a broad majority in parliament entered into the political agreement to...

Brent Efron even admits he could end up with a cushy job at one of the non-profits the EPA lavished billions to fund in grants.. one intriguing sign that eco-activists in Washington, DC, anticipated a different political climate after the November election was the number of massive grants being given to “climate crisis” projects. Team Biden was flooding eco-activist organizations with billions from the public coffers. Now Project Veritas has released an incredible video confirming my suspicions that the $50 billion giveaway was designed to “Trump-Proof” Biden’s “Green New Deal’. Brent Efron, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) special advisor implementing...
