WASHINTON, D.C. — Former President Joe Biden's teleprompter cleared up some recent controversy in a statement it released Monday, stating it personally approved of all the autopen pardons during the Biden presidency. "I personally and single-handedly approved every pardon signed by the autopen machine," The teleprompter said in yellow lettering across its screen. "As the acting president at the time, I had that authority." Recent controversy surrounding President Biden's use of the autopen during his presidency has led some to ask if the pardons issued under his administration were valid. Many hope the teleprompter's statement will clear up any confusion...

"I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

A black woman who moved from the US to Russia to escape ‘discrimination’ and ‘racism’ revealed on social media that the entire plan backfired on her in a disturbing way. In a heartbreaking video, Francine Villa claims both she and her baby were brutally attacked by racist neighbors in Moscow. The fact that the attack occurred in her homeland is an extra painful blow. Villa had previously spoken about her move back in the 2020 documentary “Black in the USSR” which aired on the Russian State Media channel, RT. After a year of living in Moscow, she told RT, “I...

Rasmussen Reports chief pollster Mark Mitchell joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Tuesday. During his discussion with host Steve Bannon, Mitchell warned that President Trump’s approval rating is one point away from his lowest net approval ever. This all has to do with the Epstein gaslighting. The American public is NOT buying it.

France and Italy will not take part in a new NATO-led initiative to finance the delivery of U.S. weapons to Ukraine, Politico and La Stampa reported on July 16, citing undisclosed government officials in both countries. Despite being a long-standing supporter of Ukraine, France has opted out of the plan, which was unveiled during U.S. President Donald Trump's meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Washington on July 14. Under this scheme, NATO will purchase advanced arms from the U.S., including air defense systems, and deliver some of them to Ukraine. According to two French officials, France declined to...

A former Gig Harbor nurse practitioner has pleaded guilty to sneaking pills into his girlfriend last year in an attempt to cause her to miscarry and to trying to silence her from speaking to authorities. David Benjamin Coots, 43, pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, tampering with a witness and fourth-degree assault. He wore a blue dress shirt with a tie as Superior Court Judge Pro Tempore James Orlando sentenced him to one year and a day in prison, which the defense and prosecutors agreed to recommend. He also was ordered to have no contact with the victim for 10 years....

-snip- Trump is a ‘realist’ Yet despite prominent figures within Mr Trump’s coalition warning against overseas military action, congressional Republicans warned that it was not always those who shouted loudest whose opinions carried weight with Mr Trump. “With this president, you are not going to win your policy debate in the media. The idea of loud people leading him is wrong,” a congressional source told The Telegraph. They added that Mr Trump is a “realist and a pragmatist”, which functions as an “ideological difference” from those on the isolationist wing of his party. Another insider added: “Trump can be hawkish...

In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, President Donald Trump addressed ongoing discussions about Jeffrey Epstein, labeling them as a “hoax” perpetuated by his former supporters and the media. Trump criticized these supporters for being misled by what he described as the “Lunatic Left” and stated that he no longer desires their backing.Trump falsely compared the Epstein discussions to previous events he deemed as scams, including the Steele Dossier and the Russia investigation, asserting that these narratives are part of a pattern used by Democrats to distract from their failures.“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey...

An evangelical global pro-life organization has urged Christians, especially Catholics, to work together across denominations to further the pro-life movement and more effectively protect unborn lives from abortion. PassionLife remarked in a July 9 news release that denominations’ “respective theological differences” should not hamper their “joint effort and impact.” Instead, Christians, regardless of their beliefs, should work together as “collaborating co-belligerents,” the organization said. PassionLife works around the globe as a mission partner for local churches and organizations, especially those in areas where abortion rates are extremely high. The organization offers training in Christian pro-life teaching, evangelization, and pro-life counseling...

Long has there been a debate about truth, specifically, about whether or not there is one truth, or an absolute truth. How can we know? Most of us have heard of the saying: “Just because that is your truth, doesn’t mean that it is my truth,” or some version thereof. Logically speaking, there is a serious problem with that statement, or more accurately, that entire line of thought. Let’s look at the definition of truth:

In the wake of a radical abortion amendment to the Missouri state constitution that passed with vague and emotional messaging, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins is advocating for a new amendment that would “correct course” and improve pro-life protections. Many who voted “yes” on the pro-abortion Amendment 3 in 2024 “believed they were supporting limited access to abortion in rare or tragic cases,” Hoskins wrote in a July 10 op-ed for the Missouri Times. “Instead, they enacted one of the most extreme and ambiguous abortion policies in the nation, written directly into our state’s most foundational and sacrosanct legal document.”...

For the past few years, headlines have pushed a familiar story: “Americans don’t want to work.” It’s catchy. It’s polarizing. And it’s not quite true. Dig a little deeper, and you’ll find something more complicated going on. The real problem isn’t a lack of willingness -- it’s a lack of alignment. While job openings hit record highs, so did the number of people feeling stuck, burned out, or underemployed. This isn’t a laziness issue. It’s a mismatch issue. And the people solving it aren’t always in government buildings or boardrooms. More often than not, they’re in the offices of smart,...

according to a July 7 article in Ms. Magazine. Although the single-drug abortion regime is touted about as “safe and effective” as the two-drug regime, evidence indicates misoprostol-only abortions have “much higher failure rates and complications for women,” the Charlotte Lozier Institute reports. The potential shift in pro-abortion advocates’ approach would introduce a complex new battleground territory for the pro-life movement. Misoprostol is generally less expensive than mifepristone and does not require a prescription, although its legal usage for abortion varies depending on state law. “Notably, none of the media sources promoting misoprostol abortion seem willing to give or direct...

Wilawan's bank accounts received around 385 million baht ($11.9 million) in the past three years, but most of the funds were spent on online gambling websites, police said. The biggest bets were 500,000 baht each, the Bangkok Post reported, citing police. Police believed "this woman is dangerous and we needed to arrest her as soon as possible," Jaroonkiat said. Thai media reported a search of her mobile phones revealed tens of thousands of photos and videos, as well as numerous chat logs indicating intimacy with several monks, many of which could be used for blackmail. Wilawan's bank accounts received around...

The US Air Force is accelerating its B-21 Raider program, with at least two test aircraft expected to be flying by 2026 and capable of being rapidly configured for combat missions if required. This potential for early deployment comes as the US weighs the possibility of future strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

A federal court has upheld West Virginia’s abortion, ruling the state can continue protecting babies. On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit rejected a bid by GenBioPro—the generic manufacturer of the abortion drug—to federalize the regulation of prescription drugs, including the abortion drug mifepristone. Then-West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, now governor, assisted by Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, asked a federal district court in February 2023 to uphold the state’s Unborn Child Protection Act against a preemption challenge. In August 2023, the court partially dismissed the lawsuit challenging the law, and GenBioPro appealed the case to...
