The interview infuriated the Democratic Party and its media allies. Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped Special Counsel Robert Hur to investigate whether Joe Biden mishandled classified information. This comes after such sensitive materials were found unsecured in multiple locations. Special Counsel Hur interviewed the aging, dementia-ridden president, and he came away with this damning conclusion, where he described Joe as a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.” We know those tapes are probably a doozy, and Trump is considering releasing them.

In what can only be described as the most astonishing turn of events in American political history, the Democrat party over the past twenty years has evolved into a previously unimagined alliance of super-rich plutocrats and their two-century-old mortal enemy, the far-left or Marxists. Many years ago, while participating in a voter registration drive, I came upon a grizzled and disheveled old man sitting in the overgrown and weed-infested yard of his paint-starved house calmly smoking his pipe. Despite his gruff demeanor, Ully (Ulysses) was very pleasant and loquacious as we talked for over an hour on topics ranging from...

Dozens of anti-Israel rabble-rousers protesting inside Columbia University’s Butler Library were hauled out by NYPD cops Wednesday — and Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed to review the visa status of the “pro-Hamas thugs.” Around 80 agitators were taken into custody Wednesday evening, sources told The Post, as the Ivy League school faced another chaotic day on its Morningside Heights campus that officials said left a pair of school safety officers injured. Video obtained by The Post showed a line of protesters led out in zip ties by NYPD cops and onto waiting police buses. “We are reviewing the visa...

Chinese President Xi Jinping has told Russian leader Vladimir Putin that his country will stand with Moscow against “unilateralism and hegemonic bullying” during a visit to the country to commemorate the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. -snip- “In the face of the international counter-current of unilateralism and hegemonic bullying behaviour, China will work with Russia to shoulder the special responsibilities of major world powers,” Xi told Putin. -snip- Xi said that China and Russia would jointly defend the “correct view” of the history of WWII, protect the “authority and status” of the United Nations, and defend the...

Every one of them is desperate to achieve ever higher political office, but they have no desire, once in office, to fulfill promises or make American life better. When I was about nine years old, my Irish Setter loved to chase the UPS delivery truck. We could never figure out why he wanted to chase it. And we joked about what he would do if he caught it. Then it happened. He caught the truck. Or maybe the truck caught him. Either way, the result wasn’t pretty, and we were left with a major mess to clean up. For years,...

A bill aimed at cracking down on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its practice of forced organ harvesting passed with overwhelming support on Wednesday – though one House lawmaker voted against it. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was the lone Republican to oppose the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act, which passed 406-1. "It's just another example of us trying to stick our nose in another country's business and write their laws," Massie told Fox News Digital after the vote. "And at the end of the day, they're gonna do what they're gonna do, and it's just sort of a virtue...

John Strand :: I was sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison—not for violence on J6, but for standing my ground and refusing to bow to a rigged political prosecution.. Now Senator Thom Tillis wants to block Ed Martin—one of the few fighting for real justice. We see you, @SenThomTillis .

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The criminal investigation into an allegedly illegal gun registry maintained by the City of Jacksonville continues to widen, with nine current and former city officials named in a new subpoena issued by the State Attorney’s Office. The State Attorney is seeking all emails and texts containing 15 keywords, including things like “constitutional carry” and “registry.” “Subpoenas are flying. This is clear confirmation that the State Attorney is in the middle of a criminal investigation,” Councilmember Nick Howland (R-Group 3 At-Large) said. Howland was the first to tell Action News Jax about the list of gun owners who...

“‘When you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you’” (Matthew 6:3–4). Continuing from yesterday’s list of scriptural giving principles, four more come to mind. First, financial giving correlates to spiritual blessings. God will not entrust things of greater value to those who are not faithful with lesser things. Jesus asks, “If you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to...

It was the plane that pilots 'put on' rather than flew; the beautiful beast that left even the Germans waxing lyrical. If you ask people today what typified British defiance the most in the Second World War, many of them will tell you it was the Spitfire. So when I got the chance to take to the skies in one - and even briefly take control - on a sunny morning in March, I knew that this would be the experience of a lifetime. Today, as Britain marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we are rightly remembering the men...

A mere three days after he was discharged rom the hospital after a VERY complex surgery because of complications from the knife stabbing he suffered in 2018, Jair Bolsonaro is leading tens of thousands of citizens in a demonstration pro-Amnesty for those falsely accused of a ‘coup d’état’. Socialist President Lula da Silva is in Moscow for the Victory Day Celebration – but even if he was in the country, unpopular Lula could never assemble a crowd like that. ... Bolsonaro may be about to rejoin the presidential race for next year’s election, attempting a historical comeback Donald J. Trump-style....

And the announcement immediately sent the stock market into a rebound as it opened Thursday morning with all major indices up several points after a month of volatility and downturn. 'The agreement with the United Kingdom is a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come,' Trump wrote on his Truth Social early Thursday morning.

Chief Justice John Roberts stressed the importance of judicial independence during public remarks Wednesday, noting that the judiciary’s role as a co-equal branch of government is central to the nation’s political system. “The judiciary is a coequal branch of government, separate from the others with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law, and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president,” Roberts said at an event in his native Buffalo, New York. The judiciary’s role, Roberts added, is to “decide cases but, in the course of that, check the excesses of Congress or the executive.” That...

Trump’s momentum is fading, and there’s still work ahead to get America back to a constitutional path. Congress isn’t helping, but neither is his team. As the West was seemingly spinning off its axis of common sense, it was the relief of a lifetime when Donald Trump prevailed in 2024. Suddenly, the world that had been turned on its head was going to be set right again. We were going to have an actual border again. Men weren’t going to be allowed to play in women’s sports. Freedom of speech was going to be a thing again. DEI was going...

President Donald Trump on Thursday morning confirmed a new "full and comprehensive" trade deal with the United Kingdom. "The agreement with the United Kingdom is a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social Thursday. "Because of our long time history and allegiance together, it is a great honor to have the United Kingdom as our FIRST announcement. Many other deals, which are in serious stages of negotiation, to follow! "This should be a very big and exciting day for the...
