The Trump administration's criminal referral targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James for reported mortgage fraud likely never would have unfolded if not for the Democrat's years of targeting the president in court, a New York City real estate attorney and expert told Fox News Digital. "To be perfectly frank, this is a retaliatory case brought by the president for what the attorney general did to him over the last several years," New York City attorney Pierre Debbas, partner and founding member of real estate law firm Romer Debbas, told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview Thursday morning. "Both...

Cornell University has invited Jew-bashing entertainer Kehlani to perform on campus May 7 — defending the move as just giving its students what they want. Kehlani has a music video that starts with, “Long live the Intifada” — an inflammatory phrase that critics say promotes violence against Israelis and Jews — shared a map online that eliminates the state of Israel and refused to condemn Hamas for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre. The invite to the multi-Grammy Award-nominated R&B artist comes after the Trump administration froze $1 billion in federal funding to the upstate Ivy League school amid a civil-rights...

RANKED-CHOICE VOTING IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THREATS TO DEMOCRACY. It is a total, and very fraudulent, JOKE! https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5253950-ranked-choice-voting-unpopular-legislatures/Action in state legislative sessions are proving that ranked-choice voting is as unpopular as ever. After last year’s string of losses on state ballot measures, some progressive activists claimed they would fare better with lawmakers than they had with voters. Yet legislatures are not enacting ranked-choice this year — instead, they are banning the convoluted scheme. The idea behind ranked-choice voting is to get voters to express “preferences” about multiple candidates, rather than just voting for one. This raises questions about one-person,...

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this Hussein bashes Trump

Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten! Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing -- But to him, and to the person...

🚨🔥Holy Smokes: Tom Homan just absolutely obliterated ABC’s Jon Karl over “concern" for Abrego-Garcia: "What bothers me more than that is a U.S. Senator travels on our taxpayer dime to meet with a MS13 gang member." "What concerns me is Van Hollen never went to the border last four years, when Joe Biden had a 600% increase in s*x trafficking of women and children." "What shocks me is he's remained silent about the travesty that happened our southern border — many people died." 🔥🔥🔥 This is EXACTLY the contrast that needs to be drawn.

This week’s White House meeting between President Trump and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele offered a crucial opportunity. It should have marked an era of renewed US engagement with our allies in Latin America, while recognizing pro-US leadership in the region and highlighting a key success story amid rising hemispheric instability. Yet, leading Democratic politicians and their media allies sought instead to turn the occasion into a political cudgel against President Trump’s deportation policies. In doing so, Democrats have revealed a dangerous hypocrisy and a lack of seriousness toward both the safety of the American people and US engagement with...

The Met Police is appealing for information after several statues in Parliament Square, including one of women's votes campaigner Dame Millicent Fawcett, were vandalised during a protest on Saturday. Transgender campaigners gathered in front of Parliament to protest against the ruling by the Supreme Court on Wednesday that biological sex defines a woman for the purposes of the Equality Act. The Metropolitan Police said seven statues were damaged and they are investigating the incidents as criminal damage. No arrests have been made. A statue of former South African prime minister Jan Smuts was graffitied with the words "trans rights are...

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) delivered an address to the press on Sunday in which he claimed that, based on intelligence in his possession, there is a fear of a political assassination. "I now want to warn, based on unequivocal intelligence information: we are on the way to another tragedy. This time it will come from within. The levels of incitement and madness are unprecedented. There will be a political assassination. Jews will kill Jews," Lapid warned. He added, "The most threats are against the director of the Shin Bet, Ronen Bar. The Israeli ruling party, the Likud, published...

House Democrats are diving back into GOP districts to conduct town halls during the long spring recess, escalating an unusual tactic they’re hoping will help them win over battleground voters. The gambit — aimed at districts held by Republicans facing tough reelection contests — was initiated after House GOP leaders advised Republican lawmakers not to meet face-to-face with voters in large, public forums amid the outcry over President Trump’s efforts to remake Washington. In March, a handful of Democrats ventured into GOP districts to stage town halls put on by grassroots activists and local party affiliates. They’ve expanded the effort...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned "if they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now." Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma) warned that "if President Donald Trump's administration can deport Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, they can 'disappear' you. This is the time for the American people to start fighting back for our country." Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mi) said "I did three town halls in a 24 hour period. One was in a very conservative part of my district that voted for Trump,...

A San Francisco-based drag queen group is facing backlash after its Easter performance, which mocked Jesus and Christianity, was marketed to children. The controversial show, held during the Easter weekend, featured performances that some critics argue crossed a line by making light of sacred Christian symbols and beliefs. Despite the growing outrage, the group has defended its performance, claiming it was meant to be an inclusive celebration of creativity and self-expression. However, the performance was marketed to a young audience during one of Christianity’s most sacred holidays.

A sheriff in Georgia is praising the actions of an armed homeowner who stopped a would-be intruder from gaining access to a child's bedroom, while also issuing a warning to other criminals in the county. Butts County Sheriff Gary Long says a man named Abdul Aquil is in custody in connection with the break-in, and is lucky to be alive after his encounter with the armed citizen. Aquil allegedly first tried to gain entry to the home through a bedroom window with a child on the other side, but the child's father heard the commotion and interrupted the burglar as...

The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to weigh in on one of the most significant legal power plays in recent memory: whether individual federal trial judges can continue issuing nationwide injunctions that derail national policy. The high court’s move could mark a turning point in the Trump administration’s effort to rein in what it sees as activist judges stifling the will of the elected government. John Yoo, a law professor at UC Berkeley and former Justice Department official, broke down the issue during an appearance on Fox News, where he explained the gravity of the situation and why the Supreme...

Yesterday at Coachella, one of the biggest music festivals in the world, a white Irish band who “rap”, called Kneecap, celebrated the terrorists Hamas who murdered 380 people at a music festival in Israel on October 7. Kneecap, from Ireland, a country riddled with a shameful history of violence and oppression of women, who rap, and who are white, took to the stage of a music festival and used it as a platform for encouragement and incitement to murder, rape, and destroy innocent people. They wore keffiyehs (they also rap and are white after all), and spoke about the bombings...

Disappointment brings discouragement. Constant failure to realize our plans or expectations will cause us to lose confidence and hope, and inability to handle disappointment becomes a great tool. The following story, given to me by a friend and mentor 45 years ago, written by Walter Knight, illustrates. Discouragement It was advertised that the Devil was going to put his tools up for sale. On the day of the sale the tools were placed for public inspection, each being marked with its sale price. They were a treacherous lot of implements.... Hatred, Envy, Jealousy, Deceit, Lying, Pride, and so on comprised...

Trans rights activists defaced a statue of Millicent Fawcett during a protest against the Supreme Court’s ruling on the definition of a woman. The Parliament Square statue of the suffragist, a prominent campaigner for women’s rights in the 19th century, was daubed with graffiti reading “f-- rights” on Saturday. It happened as thousands of protesters marched through central London in an “emergency demonstration” against Wednesday’s decision that only biological women are women. The landmark Supreme Court ruling, which has caused many public bodies to review their gender policies, stated that laws against sex-based discrimination should only apply to biological women....
