The Department of Justice has launched criminal probes into former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey over their alleged roles in the Trump–Russia hoax, Fox News reported Monday evening.

The review found that the creation of the ICA was rushed and filled with “procedural...

Governments can’t change the weather, but they can invest in infrastructure that is better able to handle it. A 2024 report from the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Value of Water Campaign estimated that the country is billions of dollars short in investments needed to update water infrastructure for 21st-century needs, including a new normal of extreme rainfall events.

I'm going to show you this video but I will warn you that the drunk man who before the video starts was too obliterated to even tee up his ball gets exactly what's coming to him and it's pretty ugly. It's now being reported that this was former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky and his group that were catching up to the slow twosome in front of them. They asked to play through (go ahead of them), and this started an argument which led to Tarnasky beating the daylights out of the drunk guy. [Warning: Violence] 1:07 VIDEO AT LINK.................

Douglass Mackey, who was prosecuted by the Biden administration over a meme, has seen his conviction tossed by the Second Circuit Court of appeals. Mackey broke the news on X, saying in all caps "Breaking: The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has thrown out my conviction for lack of evidence. The case has ben remanded to the district court with orders to immediately dismiss."

Defendant-Appellant Douglass Mackey (“Mackey”) appeals from a judgment of conviction entered on October 25, 2023 after a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Donnelly, J.). Mackey was convicted of conspiring to injure citizens in the exercise of their right to vote in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241 based on three memes he posted or reposted on Twitter shortly before the 2016 presidential election. These memes falsely suggested that supporters of then-candidate Hillary Clinton could vote by text message. On appeal, Mackey argues, inter alia, that the evidence was insufficient to...

American Pope Leo interrupts vacation at Castle Gandolfo for urgent political message that defies Trump's agenda Pope Leo urged the faithful around the world to combat climate change during his prayer for the Texas flood victims in another thinly-veiled jab at President Donald Trump.

Trump said on Tuesday he had approved sending US defensive weapons to Ukraine and was considering additional sanctions on Moscow, underscoring his frustration with Russian President...

In this video, I break down why these policies aren’t about race but about behavior, how black excellence is being hijacked by ratchet culture, and why we as a community need to hold ourselves to a higher...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, “Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” Matthew 10:5–7The very last words of Jesus, just prior to His Ascension into Heaven, expands the mandate we read above that Jesus gave to His Apostles. He later says, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the...

NATO jets were scrambled early Wednesday as Russia launched a record attack on Ukraine overnight — just hours after President Trump ripped Russian President Vladimir Putin for his “bulls–t.” Moscow fired 728 Shahed and decoy drones along with 13 cruise and ballistic missiles, the Ukrainian air force said Wednesday. That was more than 200 over the previous record fired on Friday, July Fourth — itself just a week after the previous largest air assault. The Russian Defense Ministry said its forces took aim at enemy air bases and that “all the designated targets have been hit.” However, Ukraine claimed that...
