John, just lawyer up and prepare to be charged at this point. The man isn’t doing anything to tilt the needle by penning New York Times op-eds and going on MSNBC. We know what you did—Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard exposed it, and you must deal with the fallout. There’s no spinning it, no hiding from it, and no avoiding it: the Russian collusion hoax was a seditious conspiracy to destroy the Trump White House, and you were one of the main henchmen. Yesterday was the anniversary of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Donald Trump. That collusion delusion...

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Thursday on Fox News’ “Hannity” that the legacy media refuses to cover new Russiagate revelations because doing so would require them to admit they played a role in the cover-up. Since the allegations emerged involving officials from the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s campaign, corporate media has largely shifted its focus to other issues. While discussing the legal side of the scandal, Fox News’ Sean Hannity asked Turley who should “be worried” about potential legal repercussions. “Well, there’s a lot of people worried in this city tonight. This is the great reveal...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, “Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds?” Matthew 13:54Today’s Gospel goes on to say that the people in Jesus’ hometown of Nazareth took offense at Him, which led Jesus to say, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.” It is somewhat surprising that they took offense at Jesus after witnessing His wisdom and mighty deeds. Jesus was very familiar to the townspeople, and it seems that...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that the 2020 election was compromised, and the federal government knew about it. Earlier this year, during a high-level Cabinet meeting with President Trump, she disclosed that the Intelligence Community has been investigating election interference and tampering with electronic voting systems, including signs of foreign and domestic actors manipulating vote totals. “I’ve got a long list of things that we’re investigating. We have the best going after this, election integrity being one of them,” Gabbard said. She continued, “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for...

Did you think the wokies would give up diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs that easily? VIDEO AT LINK.................... In a hidden camera investigation published by Townhall, an official at the University of Iowa revealed that the school's wokeness factory is still alive and kicking, but disguised. Cory Lockwood, Senior Associate Director of the Iowa Union Memorial, is caught on tape, saying that these exercises are intentionally buried so it won't show up on any Google search. The SEO burying is one part; faculty don't have the tell-tale signs in their job descriptions, but words like 'community' are breadcrumbs to...

The Netherlands’ counter-terrorism authority has included Israel in its latest report as one of the state actors assessed to pose a threat to the country’s security. The country is thus placed alongside Iran, North Korea and Turkey, among others. The Netherlands’ National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security (NCTV) published on July 17, 2025, its annual report “Assessment of threats from state actors 2025” (Beoordeling Dreigingen door Staatactoren 2025), where Israel is listed for the first time as a security-threatening actor. Israel’s placement on the list is linked to assessments that the country uses informal methods to influence public opinion and...

President Donald Trump has told Canada that if it recognizes Palestine as a state, it’s jeopardizing a trade pact with the U.S. The threat is more than leverage for talks. It’s a reminder that the West is giving up on civilization and needs to be rousted from its slumber. “Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine,” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. “That will make it very hard for us to make a trade deal with them.” Canada is not the only Western nation that feels the need to recognize the terrorist-controlled Gaza Strip, which, with...

The two Federal Reserve governors who dissented from the central bank’s decision to hold interest rates steady this week said they did so, in part, because they worried about the health of the labor market. “While the labor market looks fine on the surface, once we account for expected data revisions, private-sector payroll growth is near stall speed,” Fed Gov. Christopher Waller said in a statement posted on the central bank’s website.

LONDON — Bishop Cherry Vann has been elected as archbishop of the Church in Wales, becoming the first woman and LGBTQ cleric appointed to lead any of Britain’s Anglican churches. While the broader, international Anglican Communion has had openly gay bishops before, most notably Gene Robinson in the United States, Vann will be the first lesbian to serve as archbishop globally. The Church in Wales, which broke away from the Church of England in 1920, elected Vann to the post on Wednesday. According to her official biography, Vann lives with her civil partner, Wendy, and the couple’s two dogs. While...

U.S. manufacturing contracted for a fifth straight month in July and factory employment dropped to the lowest level in five years amid tariffs that have raised prices of imported raw materials. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said on Friday that its manufacturing PMI dropped to 48.0 last month from 49.0 in June. A PMI reading below 50 indicates contraction in manufacturing, which accounts for 10.2% of the economy. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the PMI edging up to 49.5. The weak PMI reading is consistent with economists' expectations for a slowdown in activity in the third quarter as...

U.S. — As preparations geared up for the 2028 presidential election, the Democratic Party unveiled its new campaign slogan of "We Hate Capitalism, Hot Chicks, and the Jews." The party expressed belief that the new slogan would convey a clear message about the party's values while broadening its appeal to new groups of potential voters. "We were looking for a slogan that would communicate our agenda of abolishing capitalism, Jewish people, and objectively attractive women," one Democrat source said. "This new slogan couldn't be more perfect." Party leaders reportedly scrapped other suggestions to return their platform and slogan to a...

CINCINNATI, OH — Local authorities issued a warning advising all white visitors to the city to please make sure they avoid assaulting the fists of black people with their skulls. In a joint press conference with the police chief, Mayor Aftab Pureval strongly urged anyone who is white to exercise restraint during their time in the city.

"This senseless white-on-black violence must stop now. The sanctity and safety of our local black fists are at...

A Senate panel voted Wednesday to approve a biomedical security bill sponsored by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) that would create an executive branch board to conduct oversight of life science research with pandemic-causing abilities, a measure inspired by the research conducted in Wuhan, China, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Risky Research Review Act advanced from the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee in an 11-2 vote, with two Democrats voting against. The panel also approved the bill last Congress in an 8-1 vote, but it never received a vote on the Senate floor.
