Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Thursday, May 18. There was more than the usual progress made in the assassination trial to-day. The testimony offered on the part of the government was more direct and pertinent, and although there was a great deal of irrelevant testimony drawn out in cross-examination, and several side issues were tried, the session was an unusually interesting one. There was more than the usual progress made in the assassination trial to-day. The testimony offered on the part of the government was more direct and pertinent, and although there was a great deal of irrelevant...

No update on the seven yutes seen on camera jostling open a door and 11 escaping, with 4 being recaptured soon after. Authorities suspect that family members are helping hiding the escapees. And we all pay for such insight!

"The expedition of Messrs. Lewis and Clarke, for exploring the river Missouri, and the best communication from that to the Pacific Ocean, has had all the success which could be expected. They have traced the Missouri nearly to its source; descended the Columbia to the Pacific Ocean, ascertained with accuracy the Geography, of that interesting communication across the continent; learned the character of the country, its commerce and inhabitants; and it is but justice to say that Messrs. Lewis and Clarke, and their brave companions, have, by this arduous service, deserved well of their country." This volume is the 1840...

CNN analyst Brian Stelter has questioned the timing of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis announcement — insisting it’s “extraordinary” the news broke just as the former president was battling an onslaught of criticism over his mental decline while in the White House. “The timing … is just extraordinary,” the anchor said on the left-leaning network Sunday. “We know from the statement from his personal spokesman that Biden learned of the diagnosis on Friday. “Well, what was the biggest Biden story on Friday? It was the release of those audio excerpts from his conversations with Robert Hur back in 2023,” he noted.

Patel’s warning echoes The Bureau’s exclusive reporting on a criminal convergence linking CCP-backed chemical suppliers, Iranian proxies, and Mexican cartels operating through Vancouver superlabs. WASHINGTON — In an explosive Sunday interview that will place tremendous pressure on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new Liberal government, FBI Director Kash Patel alleged that Mexican cartels, Chinese Communist Party operatives, and Iranian threat actors have forged a new axis of criminal cooperation, using Canada’s porous northern border and the Port of Vancouver—not the southern Mexican border—as their preferred entry point to flood fentanyl and terror suspects into the United States. “In the first two,...

The marijuana was inside 155 vacuum-sealed packages listed on the manifesto as “brace overalls for men / heavy duty workwear bib.” According to a press release from CBP, “The marijuana collectively weighed 91.3 kilograms, or 201 pounds and five ounces, and has a street value of about $875,000 in the United States. Depending on potency, this shipment could have fetched two to three times more in Europe.”

America’s leading experts have been weighing in on the news that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer. The news has led to allegations of a “cover-up” due to the cancer’s advanced stage so soon after Biden left the White House. His cancer was given a Gleason score of 9 and a Grade Group of 5, a devastating stage of the rapidly spreading disease. The diagnosis came days after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate during a routine health exam. However, several doctors have argued that it’s “inconceivable” for Biden to...

Joe Biden, 82, spoke out for the first time since his cancer diagnosis with a social media post on Monday morning. 'Cancer touches us all,' the former president wrote on X with a selfie of him sporting a brave smile alongside a somber-looking former first lady Jill Biden, who is holding their gray tabby cat Willow. 'Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places,' Biden added. 'Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.' The post comes just hours after Biden's personal office revealed that he was diagnosed...

The U.S. Federal Reserve just pulled off something stealthy — over four days last week, without fanfare, the Fed vacuumed up $43.6 billion in U.S. Treasurys. That’s $8.8 billion in long-dated 30-year bonds on May 8 alone, plus another $34.8 billion earlier in the week. Not exactly small change. Quietly returning to the quantitative-easing trough isn’t standard Fed housekeeping — it’s like a bank robber returning to the scene because he forgot his car keys.

We watched Joe Biden quickly age in prime time. We have all watched family members age, and it is sad, but it is the cycle of life. However, our family members are not being used as props by a political party to maintain power and control over our country. Joe Biden was no longer fit for politics, let alone the presidency, in 2020. Still, the Democrats conveniently used the COVID-19 pandemic to hide Joe from the press and public during the campaign and let the anti-Trump movement put Biden in the White House. We were frustrated by Biden’s lack of...

Agitators are planning a not-too-surprising birthday gift for President Donald Trump on his 79th birthday — yet another anti-Trump demonstration. Organizers say they are hoping to upstage a military parade the president has planned for June 14 in Washington, DC. Refuse Fascism, the group claiming to be behind the event, has held rallies against the Trump administration in downtown Los Angeles and other cities, ABC’s network affiliate Channel 7 reported Sunday. Sunsara Taylor, who is with the group, told the station: Donald Trump is trashing the rule of law, he’s disappearing immigrants, he’s threatening to do the same without any...

American medicine has an antisemitism problem, driven by foreign-trained doctors importing the Jew-hatred of their native countries. Health care workers at a demonstration in Washington, D.C., demanding a cease-fire in Gaza, Nov. 4, 2023Medicine has a serious antisemitism problem. It especially has a problem among doctors, and a lot of that problem is concentrated among doctors educated overseas. We identified a set of over 700 people from all walks of life profiled by the organization Stop Antisemitism for displaying flagrant hostility toward Jews and Israel. We found that health professionals were more than 2.5 times more likely to be found...

NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump’s attempt to be a broker in the conflict between India and Pakistan has the spotlight on a deal the hostile neighbour recently negotiated with World Liberty Financial (WLF), a cryptocurrency venture in which the president’s family has 60% stake. The deal was signed between WLF and the hastily-launched Pakistan Crypto Council, which early last month appointed as its adviser Changzpeng Zhao (CZ) — founder of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance — with the ambitious objective of making Islamabad South Asia’s crypto capital. Though the Crypto Council was barely a month old, WLF sent...

The Hur tapes expose what we knew all along: The Democrat cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline is the biggest scandal in U.S. political history. It might be a bigger scandal than we knew. We found out today that Joe Biden has an advanced form of prostate cancer, and it has spread to his bones. How long did people know he had cancer, and who knew? I am reposting two medical opinions because they open up an important question about how long everyone knew Biden had cancer. In 2022, Biden said he had cancer, and we thought it was just another...

(Screenshot: Israel Defense Forces) A series of Israeli airstrikes last week killed Muhammad Sinwar, the de facto commander of Hamas in Gaza, according to reports on Sunday that said his body was found in a Khan Younis tunnel. Muhammad Sinwar was the younger brother of the former Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by the IDF in southern Gaza last October. According to a separate report, Zakaria Sinwar, another brother, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Saturday night. The strikes that reportedly killed Muhammad Sinwar on Tuesday targeted an underground command compound below the European Hospital...

A one-of-a-kind Sam’s Club store opened Thursday in South Tampa after the company abruptly closed the location last year, turning a portion of the building into an online fulfillment center.

Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz told an audience of graduating students that the nation’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are “Trump’s Modern Gestapo.” The Gestapo was the secret police created by Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist regime in the 1930s. The name is an abbreviation of a German noun, Geheime Staatspolizei [Secret State Police], which was used to murder a vast number of people throughout Europe. In contrast, ICE protects Americans’ borders, communities, and livelihoods from the destructive mass migration encouraged by Walz and other Democrats. For example, ICE raids often ensure market wage raises for ordinary Americans, so reducing...

The long-overdue shuttering of the FBI’s scandal-scarred Washington headquarters signals not just a change of address, but a necessary exile of the agency’s most politically corrupted core. Current FBI Director Kash Patel is closing down the agency’s Washington, DC, mothership office and moving at least 1,500 employees out of the DC area to regional offices. The decision was not just Patel’s. During the Biden Administration, it was determined that the 50-year-old Hoover building headquarters was structurally decrepit. More germanely, no prior FBI director had ever explained why nearly a third of the FBI workforce was centered in offices in Washington,...
