So what's up with the "HUGE TESLA ARRESTS" that she spoke about yesterday, stating that we would see them in the next 24 hours. As for me, I am growing weary with her empty bravado and empty promises. She is making herself look bad.

He said that Washington's greed is clouding its judgement in the Ukrainian conflictMOSCOW, April 11. /TASS/.

Kentucky businessman and potential Senate Republican candidate Nate Morris on Breitbart News Saturday said that President Donald Trump’s use of reciprocal tariffs are “leveling the playing field for the American worker.” Morris could run for the U.S. Senate to replace the outgoing Sen.

The Federal Elections Commission (FEC) has opened an investigation into Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) over donations to her campaign that were made through ActBlue, a Democrat fundraising platform that has recently come under scrutiny for suspicious donation activity.

This weekend, the US and Iran will hold their first semi-direct talks in years, despite the previous insistence of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in barring such talks. What changed? First, the Iranian security situation has degraded rapidly over the last few months, thanks to their stupidity in attacking Israel directly as well as indirectly through their proxies. That has left the mullahs more exposed than ever before in their 46-year run as theocratic tyrants in Iran. That's not the only reason, the New York Times reports today. The Iranians may have finally realized that Donald Trump returned to office with the...

In today’s Morning Jolt, I wrote that “we haven’t seen Joe Biden speak in person at any public event since Inauguration Day; on February 1, Biden offered a two-minute pre-taped video message at the Democratic National Committee’s winter meeting.” A reader responds that Joe Biden did speak in public a few days ago, at the conference of the National High School Model United Nations. What’s fascinating is that President Biden gave his first public remarks since leaving office… and this generated no news media coverage at all. I don’t mean it was downplayed or under-covered, I mean the Facebook post...

The phrase “predictive programming” might sound like something straight out of a conspiracy theory blog, but beneath its surface lies a stark reality aligning closely with biblical prophecy. At its core, predictive programming refers to the intentional embedding of certain ideas and scenarios into popular culture through movies, television, and video games. The goal? Desensitization and gradual acceptance of concepts that, in a previous generation, would have seemed unimaginable or even abhorrent.

My hope is that this case results in a solid legal repudiation of the tyrannical, extra-legal policy of Gov. Walz, and sets a precedent against future abuses of this kind," Stewart said. ...

Under Joe Biden, approximately 8,000 service members were discharged from the military for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. In January 2025, President Trump ordered a full reinstatement to any service member who was expelled from the armed forces due to the COVID vaccine mandate, restoring them to their former rank with full pay. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth joined Fox News to discuss efforts to welcome back these service members who were discarded and treated so badly by the Biden administration.

The European veil of leftist intellectual and moral superiority is starting to crumble. In recent weeks, we’ve seen Europe begin to take responsibility for its defense, the climate crazies seeing many of their goals collapsing under the weight of the twin realities of science and economics, and the rise of conservative politicians who are seeking an end to the immigration invasion. ... Europe is now fully awake to the fact that the U.S. is not their on-call military ... Thanks to decades of cradle-to-grave benefits, in addition to their reliance on the U.S. for their defense, Europe essentially has no...

"No more government in the shadows." Mike Benz The decade-long treasonous hectoring of Mr. Trump keeps on coming, you understand, for the simple reason that there have been absolutely zero consequences for any of the vicious rogues behind it. Not so much as a rap on the knuckles for seeking to overthrow a president, steal elections, hide high crimes, rob the treasury, and recklessly frame the innocent. And suddenly this week, as startling as a mythic goddess of justice riding a spring zephyr, comes a brisk demonstration of exactly what-to-do. Days ago, Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey ordered his...
