During discussions on Sunday Morning Features about the key players pushing the Russia collusion hoax, Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer threw another name in the hat: Trump-appointed CIA Director Gina Haspel. Haspel was the CIA station chief in London in 2016 and 2017 under then-CIA Director John Brennan. She was appointed in 2018 and stepped down in January 2021 after she “threatened to resign” if Trump appointed Kash Patel as her deputy, Axios reported. “What role did she play not only in perhaps creating this, but what role did she play in suppressing it when she was CIA director...

Some black Americans, we hear, are moving back to the land of those who sold their ancestors into slavery. That’s one way of putting it, anyway. But as is said, home is where the heart is. The heart is often happier, too, when your formerly upper-middle-class self can now live like a king in a country of relative serfs.The Associated Press (AP) covered this topic on Saturday. Relating stories of black Americans relocating to Kenya, the news organ wrote (with the expected woke suppositions):Kenneth Harris spent most of his days in Atlanta yearning for a life in a place where...

Darkness is no longer your ally. You represent an existential threat to the citizens of the United States, and US Border Patrol's Special Operations Group will stop at nothing to hunt you down.

The Deep State is a budget-busting, bureaucratic tyranny, crushing capitalist meritocracy and social values. It is a self-directed, out-of-control monster that fights MAGA tooth and claw. However, the brilliant computer “nerds” of Elon Musk’s Department Of Governmental Efficiency are already using the first version of their Artificial Intelligence software tool. It may eventually curb the Deep State as much as possible. From an article at The Washington Post:DOGE builds AI tool to cut 50 percent of federal regulationsThe tool, called the ‘DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool,’ is supposed to analyze roughly 200,000 federal regulations to determine which can be eliminated...

At one of #Iran’s universities, the IRGC spread the American flag on the ground, but not a single student will step on it.

Just when you think you've seen the worst, most depraved, most poisonous elements of transgender ideology, it surprises you with something new and even worse.Reduxx has the story:A three-year-old girl was triggered to enter precocious puberty following exposure to her trans-identified father's "gender affirming" topical estrogen gel.

The Senate confirmed Whitney Hermandorfer to a lifetime appointment on the Cincinnati, Ohio-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a vote along party lines Monday evening. The successful confirmation vote follows the Senate processing 92 of the president’s civilian nominees thus far, nearly doubling the confirmation pace at this point during the president’s first term.. Our job now is to continue the good work that we began during the first Trump administration by filling those vacancies with more judges who understand the proper role of a judge,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune said during a floor speech Thursday. “And...

Illegal immigration used to be commonplace on the roadways of America, but now texas DPS, ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies are cracking down on smuggling networks coast to coast.

Literally out of all the sports there are, bullfighting is the one where you should never distract yourself by showing off during play. Or else, well, you could meet the fate of this Mexican bullfighter.

Zohran Mamdani fled to Uganda, and the details have completely exposed his grift. The self-described communist is currently the frontrunner to become the next mayor of New York City, with the press swooning over him as an Obama-type figure. As it turns out, though, Mamdani is a bit more of a fan of capitalism than he lets on. He didn't go to Uganda to help feed people in one of the world's most malnourished countries. Instead, he went there to lock them out behind a wall of heavy security so he could throw a three-day-long wedding bash, sparing no expense,...

Don Quixote tragically tilted at windmills, mistaking them for monsters. Donald Trump, on the other hand, recognizes the real monster — the subsidies, the blight, and the lies — behind the spinning blades. "The other thing I say to Europe, we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States," Trump said during trade talks with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. "They’re killing us. They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains. It’s the most expensive form of energy. It’s no good," Trump said to an audience that must have been...

Beware of Fake Financial Experts (a critique of Lyn Alden, Luke Gromen and the like)There is a sense in the world that 'something' is wrong with the global economy- the rise of populism in numerous countries evidencing the growing discontent of the people. Unfortunately, with this rise in discontent has come a number of monetary 'experts' who attempt to address this sentiment by propagating narratives that are not only extremely ignorant, but dangerous, profiting themselves as they take advantage of the emotions of the people.For example, Raoul Pal runs a financial platform called 'Real Vision' in which he continuously states...

The San Francisco 49ers had a scary moment at their training camp when defensive end Tarron Jackson collapsed on the field. According to reports, Jackson collapsed after being blocked during an 11-on-11 team drill. Trainers rushed to Jackson’s side, and moments later, he was placed on a stretcher. “He’s conscious inside communicating with us. He can feel all his extremities, and they’re taking him down to Stanford now just for further testing,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said. The New York Post has more: Practice did continue after the incident. “It’s always hard like that, especially when guys watch that,” Shanahan...

A federal judge on Monday expanded a preliminary injunction and blocked Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Provision barring funding for Planned Parenthood nationwide. Earlier this month Judge Talwani, an Obama appointee, issued a TRO and temporarily blocked the reconciliation bill’s provision barring funding for Planned Parenthood. Last Monday, the judge granted a preliminary injunction in part extending a block on barring funding for Planned Parenthood. Today, Judge Talwani expanded her injunction nationwide. The judge’s ruling comes after the US Supreme Court largely restricted lower courts from issuing nationwide injunctions. CNN reported: A federal judge in Boston has widened her block on...

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, comes as part of a multi-state effort led by Bonta and New York Attorney General Letitia James. It argues that the USDA’s directive, requiring states to turn over names, Social Security numbers, addresses, and other private information dating back five years, violates federal privacy laws and exceeds the agency’s authority. The USDA has warned it may withhold administrative funding from states that don’t comply. For California, that could mean losing roughly $1 billion annually, which is used to run the program. Any delay or disruption in...

Union members who assemble Boeing's fighter jets in the St. Louis area have "overwhelmingly voted" to reject the company's contract offer on Sunday, with the company now preparing for an imminent strike. Boeing's proposal, which was sent on Tuesday to more than 3,200 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 837, included a 20% general wage increase over four years and a $5,000 ratification bonus, as well as more vacation time and sick leave.
