The House Committee on Homeland Security learned this week that a Biden era hotline where unaccompanied migrant children could call to report safety concerns failed to answer 65,000 calls between August 2023 and January 2025. The hearing earlier this week focused on the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the border crisis during the Biden administration. Reports began circulating late last year that the Biden administration had lost track of an estimated 300,000 migrant children sent to live with adult sponsors because Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was unable to effectively monitor all children in its system. Representative Eli Crane...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his team have been ordered to cease polygraphs to stop leaks to the corporate media after an adviser complained to the White House. The adviser in question, Patrick Weaver, complained to White House officials this spring that he was worried about being directed by Hegseth or another member of his team to submit to a polygraph test. Hegseth’s team started administering polygraph tests to people around the defense secretary in April. The White House then intervened to stop the practice via a phone call by an individual close to the administration. The Post refused to...

Following the 12-day war, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, spends most days snoozing and getting “high,” an outrageous post from the Mossad’s Farsi social media account mysteriously claimed. “How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances?” the post asked. The statement came from a bizarre new premium X account that launched in recent weeks, claiming to be the official Farsi-language spokesperson — the official dialect of Iran — for the cunning Israeli intelligence agency, with regular posts trolling the Iranian regime. “Using drugs and speaking to spirits are...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has warned that unless change is instituted rapidly, Britain will soon succumb to complete societal collapse. “We live increasingly in a lawless Britain… most people think that Britain has become lawless”, Farage remarked Monday at a press conference to launch a new law and order policy platform. “We’re actually facing, in many parts of our country, nothing short of societal collapse,” Farage warned, adding “People are scared to go out to the shops, scared to let their kids out. That is a society that is degraded, and it’s happening very, very rapidly.” Farage further suggested...

Politico in its absolute obsession with pushing Jeffrey Epstein stories has broken its old record of five stories a few days ago and has now pushed out upon its readers six, six, SIX Epstein stories in a 24 hour period. A symptom of its laughable urgency to hopefully make its readers forget all about the Russia Hoax revelations by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.In fact, Politico has barely touched upon that more impactful scandal while shoveling up one Epstein story after another. It all makes one wonder if the Politico reporters are paid an Epstein bonus for writing about...

CHICAGO (AP) — Federal immigration judges fired by the Trump administration are filing appeals, pursuing legal action and speaking out in an unusually public campaign to fight back. More than 50 immigration judges — from senior leaders to new appointees — have been fired since Donald Trump assumed the presidency for the second time. Normally bound by courtroom decorum, many are now unrestrained in describing terminations they consider unlawful and why they believe they were targeted. Their suspected reasons include gender discrimination, decisions on immigration cases played up by the Trump administration and a courthouse tour with the Senate’s No....

I am testifying in Court today as a witness for Cloud (@Numerarch), the Portland resident who confronted Antifa and is suing the city over the illicit occupation at the ICE facility. The lawsuit claims that Portland has failed to quell the nightly noise disturbances at the ICE facility, causing local residents persisting harm. A couple of Antifa militants involved in the occupation are beginning to show as city witnesses. A judge should be issuing a decision today. Stay tuned for updates!

Thomas More’s head could be exhumed 500 years after it was put on a pike on London Bridge. St Dunstan’s, an Anglican church in Canterbury where the remains of the Tudor lawyer lie in a vault, has applied for permission to have them unearthed to potentially place in a shrine.

While eradicating bullfrogs may seem like an insurmountable task, the unique goal of this project is possible due to the valley’s isolated watershed. Since 2020, over 50,000 American Bullfrogs have been removed from the Glenwood Valley.

“Is it time to stop snubbing your right-wing family?” Regrettably yes, answers former Obama speechwriter David Litt in a recent guest essay for The New York Times — and he wants you to know he feels damn good about it. Yet even with his attempt at graciousness, Litt shows that to the left, everything, everywhere is always political. The good news is that they’re finally starting to learn that no one else cares. Litt begins with a story of his brother-in-law Matt, an electrician who loves Joe Rogan and with whom he never quite connected with because, you know, Litt...

The Left is America’s oldest enemy.It was here long before the 1960s, calling for the execution of George Washington, plotting to stop the ratification of the Constitution, and collaborating with foreign enemies. Stolen elections, fake news, race riots, globalism, and socialism aren’t new problems; Americans faced them from the very beginning. Domestic Enemies reveals the true origins of the Democratic Party and its radicals, who―even two centuries ago―were calling for the redistribution of wealth, the end of marriage, and the use of schools for political indoctrination. From political battles to street fights, Domestic Enemies takes you into the heart of...

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal Ambongo: Resistance to homosexuality is not merely an African phenomenonAfricans were not the only ones who resisted the highly controversial 2023 Vatican declaration “Fiducia Supplicans”, a document that permits Catholic priests to give blessings to couples in "irregular situations," including same-sex couples, without explicitly declaring church approval of their union.This month, in remarks to EWTN News, Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo, archbishop of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo and head of the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM), declared the following:“The position taken by Africa [on the declaration] was also the position of so...

The one area the Government and the legacy media intentionally ignore is the significant roles played by Foreign Intelligence Agencies, particularly British Intelligence, in the Russia Hoax Conspiracy. The newly released 100 pages of declassified documents by Director of National Intelligence Gabbard and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) report implicated President Obama and Obama-era officials in an election interference scheme. What is conspicuously absent from their reports is the roles Foreign Intelligence Agencies, particularly British Intelligence, played in the Russia Hoax Conspiracy. 12345 Let's begin by looking at the origins of the Russia Gate Conspiracy and the...

Speaking at the opening of the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, Chinese Premier Li Qiang called AI a new engine for growth while adding that governance is fragmented.China said on Saturday (Jul 26) that it wanted to create an organisation to foster global cooperation on artificial intelligence (AI), positioning itself as an alternative to the US as the two vie for influence over the transformative technology. China wants to help coordinate global efforts to regulate fast-evolving AI technology and share the country's advances, Premier Li Qiang told the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. US President Donald...

I have to assume that this has been posted before but this is the first time watching it for me. What makes it most disturbing is that most if not all of the people spinning (lying) about joe bidens condition are still in high levels of US federal gov't. The liberal democrat party that constantly touts transparency and democracy unceremoniously forced joe biden off the democrat ticket even after millions of Americans had already cast their primary votes for him. The dems threw joe out.

We’ve been taught to avoid the sun at all costs. Is that right?For decades, many doctors have said that less is more when it comes to sun exposure. Ultraviolet light from the sun can age the skin and cause skin cancer, and people can get Vitamin D from food or supplements instead. But in recent years, some scientists have questioned this thinking after research suggested that moderate sun exposure may, at least in certain contexts, have some benefits. And that Vitamin D supplements may not always be a good substitute. “The ‘never go outside without SPF 50’ approach treated...

The Democrats are going to have to hire a few more queer, plus-size, disabled Latina activists to lure young men back to the party, since they clearly have too few on payroll to get the job done. At least that is true if you trust Pew's latest poll, which shows a gobsmacking difference between how Gen Z women and Gen Z men identify politically. The numbers look really bad for Democrats, no matter how you slice and dice them. While many national polls show Trump's popularity cratering--Gallup shows him grossly underwater--Republicans seem to be making progress based largely on the...
