Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Sunday that former first lady Jill Biden and Anthony Fauci could be examined during Congress’s autopen probe. President Trump has railed against his predecessor, former President Biden, for using the autopen to pardon individuals during his last few months in office. The president ordered a probe into the signatures on various pardons in June while GOP lawmakers requested interviews with several former White House staffers to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Some have pleaded the Fifth at some point during their testimonies. “Even though Anthony Fauci has been pardoned, there is...

According to the federal agency, 1.4 million Americans made the trip north by auto last month, compared to roughly 1.56 million who did the same last year. That decline has political and business leaders on the...

The U.S. DOGE Service is using a new artificial intelligence tool to slash federal regulations, with the goal of eliminating half of Washington’s regulatory mandates by the first anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post and four government officials familiar with the plans.

Yesterday, we told you that the FireAid scandal hit President Trump's radar. As it should: tens of millions of dollars raised with the explicit promise that those monies would go directly to victims of the L.A. wildfires. Instead, the money went to Leftist nonprofit organizations, and not a dime went to people who lost everything.

When FBI agents arrived outside William Spearman's home in the quiet suburb of Madison, Alabama, in November 2022, they were prepared for danger. Their search warrant was so important to the bureau that it was approved by the FBI director himself. When the agents breached Spearman's door with tactical explosives, Spearman fought back, tussling with the agents as three of his handguns remained barely out of reach. The FBI managed to handcuff and arrest Spearman, a high-value arrest, in what a top Justice Department official called "one of the most successful" prosecutions of its kind.

Scroll through homes for sale in the Eastern Caribbean and it is no longer just bewitching beaches and a laid-back lifestyle being touted to woo buyers.

Buy a home, and you also get a passport that grants the holder visa-free...

CIA Director John Ratcliffe stated on Sunday that the statute of limitations likely won’t rule out any potential charges against former President Barack Obama and key Obama intelligence officials who allegedly conspired to undermine President Donald Trump through intelligence reports of Russian interference in the 2016 election. “I don’t think statutes of limitations are going to impact because in the conspiracy, the statute of limitation doesn’t start to run until the last act and furtherance of that conspiracy,” Ratcliffe stated on a Sunday Fox News appearance. “Part of why this is so important is that the people behind this are...

Lately my Facebook page has been flooded with these ads announcing that seniors can get concealed carry permits on-line, with no safety course, range time/competency, etc. They want to charge $95, presumably to process the application and mail you the permit. The particular ad I looked at made me suspicious, so I closed the page and searched for "KY (my state) concealed carry permit." There was n mention of any change in the laws benefiting seniors. As far as I can tell, you still have to present a certificate of completion for an approved firearms course, undergo the usual background...
