Adam Schiff (D-CA), is facing criminal prosecution after a bombshell referral from the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) over alleged mortgage fraud spanning years.

It was revealed that between 2003 and 2019,...

A black-box recording of dialogue between the London-bound Boeing 787's two pilots suggests the captain -- Sumeet Sabharwal, who was reportedly known as "Sad Sack" in flight school because he always looked sorrowful -- flipped fuel switches off, according to a Wall Street Journal report about the official probe into the catastrophe

Veteran political journalist Mark Halperin revealed on Thursday that “everyone” believes a blockbuster exposé about the relationship between President Donald Trump and the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein is about to drop. “One of the points of this platform, in the age of transparency, is to narrow the gap between elites like Dan [Turrentine], and Sean [Spicer], and the people like the 2WAY community and myself. So let me share something with you that “everyone,” I say that in air quotes, everyone I know knows hasn’t been publicly reported. Everyone I know believes a major newspaper, one of the top...

A new study by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) alleges that major U.S. and European news outlets served as uncritical megaphones for Hamas-linked narratives during the war with Israel in Gaza, amplifying claims that ultimately undermined a U.S.-backed food relief operation while shielding the terrorist group from scrutiny.
