President Trump on Thursday suggested CBS News’s “60 Minutes” be taken off the air after the program released a transcript of an interview it aired last fall with former Vice President Harris amid a federal investigation into the broadcast. “CBS and 60 Minutes defrauded the public by doing something which has never, to this extent, been seen before,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website. “They 100% removed Kamala’s horrible election changing answers to questions, and replaced them with completely different, and far better, answers, taken from another part of the interview.” Trump and his allies have for months argued...

*** … April’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race between conservative Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford — a race that will determine ideological control of the court in a pivotal swing state. Crawford, a far-left circuit court judge, and Wisconsin Democrat Party Chairman Ben Wikler (who just finished second in the contest for national Dem chair) invited high-profile supporters to a “donor advisers briefing” with the subject line “Chance to put two more House seats in play for 2026.” *** [T]he briefing was arranged by aides for megadonor Reid Hoffman, who has given nearly $15 million to Wisconsin Democrats in recent years....

LOS ANGELES, CA — Questions about his future after leaving the White House were apparently answered this week, as Joe Biden announced that he had signed with a talent agency and immediately landed a role as a corpse on CSI:Vegas. The former president successfully made his transition from the Oval Office to Hollywood, inking a deal with industry powerhouse Creative Artists Agency, which quickly found a highly sought-after role of a lifeless body on the popular CBS television series. "We've never seen someone more perfect to play this part," said CSI:Vegas showrunner Jason Tracey. "I've been involved in the CSI...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney emphatically acknowledged her past work for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) when responding to a tweet by Elon Musk. Musk, who is spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort to slash government waste and fraud, has the agency in his crosshairs. "Interesting," Musk wrote in response to a post in which Mike Benz, founder and executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, said Cheney had been "spawned out of USAID." Benz shared a screenshot from an article that said Cheney had worked at the agency. "Damn right, @Elon. I’m proud of what...

U.S. President Donald Trump is proving to be somewhat popular within Russia, leaving the Kremlin to grapple with how to counter Russians' love of a leader who isn't President Vladimir Putin, recent media reports suggest. -snip- Alexander Baunov, the editor-in-chief of Carnegie Politika and a senior fellow at Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, said in an analysis published on January 31 that in Russia, Trump is a new "anti-elitist president" who, "like a beloved Hollywood lone hero, is closer and more understandable to the generation of the Russian elite that lived through the 1990s or grew up watching American movies than...

As described, Thin Lizzy were actually a group of hard guys themselves, perhaps even being akin to modern-day rappers in terms of how they rolled, though being Irish and this being some time back.

Democrats are delaying Kash Patel’s appointment as FBI director. Habakkuk 2:3 "For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay" Ezekiel 12:28 "Therefore, tell them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: No more delay! I will now do everything I have threatened. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!'" Proverbs 14:34 “Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people”

Explanation: Grand spiral galaxies often seem to get all the glory, flaunting their young, bright, blue star clusters in beautiful, symmetric spiral arms. But small, irregular galaxies form stars too. In fact dwarf galaxy IC 2574 shows clear evidence of intense star forming activity in its telltale reddish regions of glowing hydrogen gas. Just as in spiral galaxies, the turbulent star-forming regions in IC 2574 are churned by stellar winds and supernova explosions spewing material into the galaxy's interstellar medium and triggering further star formation. A mere 12 million light-years distant, IC 2574 is part of the M81 group of...

While the influence USAID funding exerts on foreign populations to induce and influence regime change may sometimes be subtle at best, other times it is much more apparent. Joe Biden’s trip to Ukraine as Vice President in March 2016 may be one of the more well-known examples. After the 2020 Election and the exposé of the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell, quite a bit of attention was given to an outburst that Joe Biden made during a discussion at the Council on Foreign Relations in January 2018. During his remarks, Biden infamously bragged about pressuring Ukraine officials to fire Viktor...

President Trump has selected Gerald Parker, a veterinarian and former top-ranking federal health official, to head the White House's pandemic office, two U.S. officials tell CBS News. Congress created the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy after the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of one of the lessons learned from the outbreak, the office was intended to formalize the so-called czar roles that had led efforts across the federal government to prepare and respond to pandemic threats. Parker was previously the associate dean for Global One Health at Texas A&M University. "One Health" refers to the study of...

What the thread title says. I know there's a lot floating around on the internet, but I'd like to get an official list from DOGE. It's hard to distinguish between truth and fiction here. I'd like to see a downloadable file I could load into a spreadsheet or database so I could do my own searches and analysis. The fields I'd like to see are recipient, amount, date, description, justification, decision maker (they probably won't allow that, but I'd like to see it), what types of verification were required, what types of verification were completed. I could probably think of...

Because of the current president and the current composition of Congress, we may never have a better opportunity to eliminate federal funding for illegal aliens in K–12 government schools.

A pilot retrieved a gun from his truck and stopped an armed teen who was demanding an airplane at Texarkana Regional Airport in Arkansas on Tuesday. The New York Post reported the teen was armed with an AR-style rifle and had a handgun as well. CNN noted that the teen “demanded a plane at the front counter while brandishing the guns.” The teen then chambered a round and chaos ensued. A pilot who saw what was happening ran to his truck and retrieved a gun and pursued the teen, who had “breached security onto the airfield.” The pilot ordered the...

Should Kash Patel secure Senate confirmation to lead the FBI, he will face the daunting task of subordinating a bureau of 13,000 agents with personnel actively begging Congress to intervene against the White House’s agenda and whose agents are suing the administration to block its implementation.When nominating Patel, then-President-elect Donald Trump praised him as the “one guy” who could “make the FBI great again.” Patel’s reputation as a Trump stalwart and vocal critic of the deep state’s career bureaucrats already had FBI agents warning of mass resignations should he enter the post. But now, some seem more inclined to work...

Gently, softly, calmly, let’s talk about what’s happening in DC right now. Friends, have you ever been through a ZBB process? If not, let me give you my take. So, in a corporation where expenses are out of control, you have to put the entire company through a zero based budgeting process. It is one of the most painful things that people in a company experience. You basically have to justify every. single. expense. And you also cut a bunch, and then only add back after you’ve gone through a proper ZBB cycle. The US government is going through a...

Two Russian colonels are reported to have fallen out of windows in the space of two days, adding to a growing list of high-ranking officials who have died in mysterious circumstances since Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine began. Artur Pryakhin, 56, the head of a regional branch of Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) in the Republic of Karelia, died after falling from a fifth floor window of an office building at around noon on February 4. Local authorities said he left a suicide note in his office in which he apologized to his wife, asked his loved ones for forgiveness,...

Thai authorities have cut off internet, power and fuel along the Thailand and Myanmar border in a bid to thwart the operation of scam centres there. The move on February 5, 2025, came amid growing pressure for Thailand to do more to help clamp down on the illegal compounds that have ensnared vast numbers of people from many jurisdictions. The Thai Provincial Electricity Authority disconnected power supplies at five points along the northern border, including Myawaddy in Myanmar’s Shan state. The high-profile rescue of a Chinese actor from a scam operation near the Thai border in January has put the...

All I am seeing and hearing are that the courts are putting roadblocks up for President Trump to get things done. I'm also seeing that Congress is slow walking getting people into Cabinet positions and into departments that President Trump has appointed them to.

Momentum in the 2024 US presidential campaign has fundamentally shifted in recent weeks, and music has played its part in this remarkable transformation. The Harris-Walz campaign is using particular kinds of music to help communicate its optimistic message of hope, inclusion and a brighter future for America. At The Democratic National Convention (DNC), Kamala Harris stepped onto the podium to deliver her nomination acceptance speech accompanied by her campaign soundtrack, the Beyoncé anthem “Freedom”. Tim Walz walked on stage to the sound of John Mellencamp’s “Small Town” (he grew up in a Nebraska town of 400 people). He walked off...
