The FBI busted the largest dogfighting ring in the bureau's history and nabbed a former NFL running back while seizing 190 pit bulls. The Department of Justice said 54-year-old LeShon Eugene Johnson was indicted for allegedly operating the dogfighting ring at a large-scale breeding and trafficking operation in Broken Arrow and Haskell, Oklahoma. The 54-year-old running back was drafted to play for the Green Bay Packers in 1994 and went on to play for the Arizona Cardinals as well as the New York Giants. Johnson's alleged operation was called "Mal Kant Kennels" and included the breeding of dogfight champions. The...

Last year’s election was close, despite President Trump’s hyperbolic claims about his margin of victory. Still, the Democratic Party clearly lost — and not only the presidential race. It also lost control of the Senate and failed to recapture the House of Representatives. Of the 11 governor’s races held last year, Democrats won three. In state legislature races, they won fewer than 45 percent of the seats. In the aftermath of this comprehensive defeat, many party leaders have decided that they do not need to make significant changes to their policies or their message. They have instead settled on a...

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., had a quick response when someone attempted a "gotcha" question. In a viral video, a young man is seen running up to the congressman with a phone, presumably filming, before asking about the Signal chat leak that has rocked Washington, D.C., for the last week. The unidentified man asked the congressman whether he could "trust Trump’s national security team to keep our war plans top secret?" Rather than ignore the man or try to answer his question, the congressman hit him with a snappy response. "Do you trust your mother every night to fix your Hot...

Since its inception in 2011, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has been the bureaucratic boogeyman in Washington’s regulatory funhouse -- a clunky Frankenstein monster stitched together to supposedly protect consumers, but seemingly engineered to duck accountability and congressional oversight while gleefully slathering red tape over financial institutions. The CFPB was designed to be practically untouchable, a regulatory juggernaut armed with unchecked authority to dish out burdensome rules that are often more about power than protection. And for the better part of the last decade, it’s been strutting around like it owns the place. But that party may finally be...

VIDEOToday is March 29 which is also Tesla Takedown Day which has been organized by an NGO grifter named Valerie Costa. Commie Costa has called for actions to "Takedown" Tesla yet among all her declarations is not the slightest condemnation of terroristic acts of vandalism. In fact, she approves of what Luigi Mangione recently did, namely murder someone by cowardly shooting him in the back.

The climate lobby’s latest con: Rebrand green subsidies as ‘job creation’ to fool Republicans into backing Biden’s radical energy policies. Trump must not let them get away with it. The American people overwhelmingly rejected Joe Biden’s presidency. His signature legislative agenda, the Green New Deal, subsidizes inefficient energy sources while driving up costs for affordable, reliable alternatives. This policy enriches a select few at the expense of taxpayers, who essentially fund their own economic suicide. Unfortunately, a group of lukewarm Republicans — whose donors profit from these terrible subsidies — are working to keep them in place. The Green New...

While smaller than it’s big brother the 12 gauge, this game hammer shell is ready to hunt. Let’s take a look at why the 20 gauge is only number two in comparison to the larger 12 gauge shotshell. When you hear “20 gauge shotgun” what comes to your mind? For me it means a well balanced shotgun that is also quite a bit lighter than it’s big brother the 12 gauge shotgun. What also comes to mind is small game hunting. From squirrels to pheasants the 20 gauge works great and allows even less kick for recoil sensitive shooters. The...

...I became a great admirer of Ronald Wilson Reagan, and I remain one today. Fast-forward to Donald John Trump. After first backing Ted Cruz during the 2016 Republican Primary, I ended up coming over to Trump, as did a lot of Christian conservative Republicans. We admired his “take no prisoners,” “don’t back down–DOUBLE down!” attitude. In a world where politicians didn’t speak their minds publicly, and ran for cover when challenged by the media, Trump was clearly a breath of fresh air. So I voted for Trump in ’16, ’20, and ’24. And if the choice was Trump or any...

The Trump administration may allow tax rates for the wealthiest Americans to rise in order to pay for the president’s plan to eliminate taxes on tipped wages, according to a report. A senior White House official suggested to Axios on Friday that letting income rates on the nation’s highest earners go back to pre-2018 levels might be the most politically palatable option to cover the cost of fulfilling President Trump’s campaign promise. “If we renew tax cuts for the rich, paid for by throwing people off Medicaid, we’re gonna get f—ing slaughtered,” the official was quoted as telling the outlet....

Nationwide rallies are spurring "Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez 2028" whispers, and it's already clear: the CIA couldn't do a better job of discrediting the American left Virtually everyone interviewed said there was one clear leader for the job: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

… Amsterdam Police have identified Ukrainian national “Roman D.” as being suspected of stabbing five people near Dam Square in the city centre of the Dutch capital city, De Telegraaf reports. The 30-year-old Ukrainian native is alleged to have used a knife to attack a Dutch woman, a Belgian woman, a Polish man, and two Americans, a 67-year-old woman and a 69-year-old man. Police struggled to immediately identify the alleged attacker given that the suspect was carrying multiple fake identity documents and refused to divulge his true name and personal details…. After apparently attempting to flee from the scene, Roman...

Roger Stone has written about the assassination of JFK and he asks why some documents have not been released in the latest data dump from the Deep State. Roger Stone worked with Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan and is a good friend of President Trump. He shared that he believed that Nixon was impeached because he was going to release information on who killed JFK. He has shared this for years. He also believes that is why the Deep State went after President Trump and shared this again in 2023. LINK After President Trump was nearly assassinated, Stone shared that...

DC Judge Beryl Howell loves to shoot off her mouth when it comes to the president and his supporters. Now she's playing the victim as Trump DOJ uses her own words, and actions, against her. As the manhunt for American citizens who participated in the events of January 6 accelerated in early 2021, the Biden Department of Justice took an unprecedented approach in the handling of political protesters: demand pretrial detention even for those charged with nonviolent offenses such as obstruction and conspiracy. A special prison for J6ers had been opened in the nation’s capital a few days after Jan...

A “shameless” Indiana Democrat is so anti-Elon Musk he’s pushing legislation to rein in the billionaire’s power, yet drives around in a Tesla leased with taxpayer dough, records show. Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind) has denounced the Tesla founder as untrustworthy and last month introduced a bill in direct response to Musk and the “shameful invasion of Americans’ privacy.” But Carson, 50, apparently has no qualms — at least until The Post inquired — about cruising around in one of Musk’s Teslas. The latest House disbursement records show Carson claimed almost $11,000 of public money last year to pay Tesla Finance...
