Kash Patel is NOT resigning from his post at the FBI — unless the President himself removes him, according to new reports. Earlier Friday, rumors exploded across social media, suggesting that FBI Director Kash Patel might join FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino in stepping down after growing friction with Attorney General Pam Bondi. Dan Bongino reportedly took a day off following a heated confrontation with Bondi over her suppression of critical evidence tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. According to CNN and The Daily Wire, Bongino has told confidants he is strongly considering resigning if Bondi remains at the DOJ....

Paleontologists in Alberta, Canada, have recently unearthed “a mass grave on a monumental scale.”1 The BBC story speaks of Thousands of dinosaurs [that] were buried here, killed in an instant on a day of utter devastation. Now, a group of palaeontologists have come to Pipestone Creek - appropriately nicknamed the “River of Death” - to help solve a 72-million-year-old enigma: how did they die?1 The question and answer regarding the mass dinosaur death is found in the same sentence above. It was a massive flood (“river”) of death that killed them 4,500 years ago. Unfortunately, paleontologists will not accept this...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass promised that illegal aliens would receive cash payments as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have continued conducting raids and enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. On Friday, Bass explained that illegal migrants would receive a “couple hundred” dollars on cash cards, adding that the “money will not come from city coffers but from philanthropic partners,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

A small settlement in Greenland is holding its collective breath as an iceberg of titanic proportions drifts dangerously close to shore — and residents’ homes. For days now, the freakishly large frozen mass has been on a collision course with tiny Innaarsuit — leading local authorities to issue a warning to residents. If the fearsome frosty float were to make contact with the shore or break apart, potential damage and injuries could follow, officials said. Though it’s unlikely any broken ice chunks would fall directly on land, the impact of pieces of plummeting permafrost would create massive waves, which could...

Washington’s first plug-in ferry will begin shuttling cars and passengers across Puget Sound by the end of next week. Gov. Bob Ferguson made the announcement Thursday during a celebratory demonstration lap around Elliott Bay on the ferry Wenatchee, concluding a challenging conversion to hybrid-electric propulsion over the past 22 months. *SNIP* “Washington state is a great visionary state. It deserves a great visionary boat and it has got one today,” Inslee exulted. *SNIP* The complicated shore power infrastructure is in the design phase for the downtown Seattle, Bainbridge, Bremerton, Kingston and Clinton terminals. The Seattle terminal’s plug-in charging arm and...

It's another curveball in the Canada-US trade war - a new missive by US Donald Trump threatening an unexpected 35% tariff on Canadian goods starting next month. It came as the two countries engage in intense trade talks meant to produce a new deal in the coming days, and what the latest tariff threat means for these negotiations is unclear. But Canada's new prime minister, Mark Carney, is beginning to face questions over whether he is able to stand up to Trump and secure the fair deal for Canada he promised. Carney won April's general election vowing to keep his...

The Official Preliminary Report is out, and confirms the fuel cutoff switch directly after takeoff: both switches found in in the off positions.

Woke Canada keeps descending into pure madness, led by the Globalist Liberal party. Justin Trudeau is out, Mark Carney is in, but the dystopian developments continue unabated. For the canucks in power, it is progressive to defend mass migration, abortion and euthanasia, transgender dysphoria, ‘net zero’ and the church of climate change… the list is endless. But, of course, the majority of normal people in Canada need to be kept in check by their Liberal overlords, so common, ordinary behavior needs to be vilified. So now, warnings by Canadian Police arise that ‘people with traditional values could be extremists’. The...

A federal judge ruled Los Angeles police cannot force journalists out of protest areas or use nonlethal weapons against them after reporters alleged officers targeted them during anti-ICE demonstrations last month. U.S. District Judge Hernán D. Vera granted the Los Angeles Press Club's request for a 14-day restraining order against the city's police department after the group said it documented dozens of incidents in which officers forced reporters away from public spaces where protests were taking place, hit them with rubber bullets and nonlethal weapons and exposed them to tear gas. Vera's ruling is an emergency order giving the court...

Federal immigration authorities conducted coordinated enforcement operations at two licensed cannabis cultivation sites in Southern California on Thursday, discovering 10 minors and detaining “about 200 individuals” without papers who are suspected of being illegal aliens. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that “ICE and CBP Law Enforcement” had to “dodge literal bullets from rioters” who were seemingly forewarned about the operation. During the operation, at least 10 migrant children were rescued from potential exploitation, forced labor, and human trafficking. Federal officers also arrested approximately 200 illegal aliens from both sites in Carpinteria and Camarillo,” the DHS stated. Footage...

MAGA activist Laura Loomer has set her sights on ousting Attorney General Pam Bondi, as the White House fends off fury from the president’s base over its handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal case and death. Loomer called on FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino to ask for Bondi’s public resignation Friday morning, writing on social media that Patel and Bongino had clashed with Bondi over the investigation. Loomer also claimed that Bongino had taken the day off from work “to evaluate whether or not he wants to continue his position,” which POLITICO has not...

Nigeria's government says it will resist pressure from the Trump administration to accept deportees from Venezuela and other third countries. In an interview with Nigeria's Channels TV on Friday, Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar said the U.S. was pressuring several African nations to accept foreign nationals whom the U.S. wants to deport. "We already have over 230 million people," Tuggar said. "In the words of the famous U.S. rap group Public Enemy — you'll remember a line from Flava Flav: 'Flava Flav has problems of his own. I can't do nothing for you, man.'" Tuggar's comments mark one of the most...

An unhinged mom and her foulmouthed daughter savagely attacked a female driver for trying to park in a spot they were “saving” in a caught-on-video brawl in Queens. Andreea Dumitru, 45, and her daughter Sabrina Starman, 21, are seen in a viral video posted to Reddit unloading on victim Jada McPherson on a Ridgewood street Monday — pulling her hair, flinging racial slurs and unleashing a flurry of punches as she tries to fend them off. “They were trying to literally rip my hair out of my scalp,” said McPherson, 21, a Pace University student who was renting in the...
