Mike Morell is perhaps best known now as the driving force behind the infamous Hunter Biden laptop letter in 2020. But the former acting CIA director played an eerily similar, albeit less successful, role in Hillary Clinton's failed 2016 bid. The former spy chief who organized and co-authored the infamous Hunter Biden laptop letter ahead of the 2020 election also played a key role in helping Hillary Clinton in 2016 smear Donald Trump by tying him to Russia's Vladimir Putin.Mike Morell, the former acting CIA director, injected into the American political bloodstream the idea that Trump was an “agent”...

President Trump was reviewing the symmetry of architecture as the plans for the White House ballroom are being finalized.

The House committee investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case on Tuesday issued subpoenas to former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and several top former Justice Department officials for their testimony. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform announced Tuesday that it had sent out the deposition subpoenas to the Clintons, former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Bill Barr, Merrick Garland, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales, and former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller "for testimony related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein." Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., also issued a subpoena to the...

The hidden cost of “free” services.Walk into a government clinic in Lagos on a Monday morning, and you’ll see the real price of “free” healthcare. Even early in the day, the benches are already full. Mothers clutch sick children, elderly men sit on the floor, and everyone waits, sometimes for hours, just to be seen. When a nurse finally calls a name, there’s often a quiet expectation for a “token,” a polite word for a bribe, to move the process along. And if you do make it to the doctor? The medicine is often out of stock. You leave with...

For more than half a century, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) claimed to be a guardian of public trust, a neutral steward of the people’s airwaves.Established by Congress in 1967 with a clear mandate to stay nonpolitical and not support any political party, it was supposed to serve as an impartial vehicle for news and educational programming.But that ideal — while noble — died long ago.The CPB’s failure to uphold its mission has been obvious for decades.By the 1990s, it was already clear to many on the right that something had gone awry.House Speaker Newt Gingrich and other Republicans...

NOAA, the “experts,” predicted an “above-normal” hurricane season this year. Of course they predict that every year, and the public has been told for decades that humans and our use of natural resources is the cause of increased activity.After Hurricane Katrina, the public was told that hurricanes would be more numerous and active than ever. Instead hurricane activity was extremely calm for ten years after Katrina. It was a record low for hurricanes.Why didn’t Al Gore predict the ten year drought in major hurricanes?In a humorous statement, the “experts” said a ten-year drought in hurricanes occurs once every 270 years:It...

The oral cavity is an accessible site for vaccination, but its sublingual and buccal sites have limited vaccine uptake. Here we show that flat tape dental floss can deliver vaccines through the junctional epithelium of the gingival sulcus, exploiting its naturally leaky properties. Floss-based vaccination delivered protein, inactivated virus, peptide-presenting immunogenic nanoparticles and Messenger RNA. In mice, gold nanoparticles functionalized with a peptide derived from the ectodomain of the transmembrane matrix 2 protein of human influenza virus stimulated local lymph nodes, increased CD4+ T cells in lymph nodes, lungs and spleen, and boosted antibody-secreting cells in the bone marrow. Floss-based...

Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage has called out London Mayor Sadiq Khan for “complacency” on the crime crisis gripping Britain’s capital. “The mayor does not wish to debate it; the mayor says don’t worry, crime is okay, London is fine – well it’s not,” Mr Farage told Sky News host Paul Murray. “It’s that kind of complacency from Khan and indeed I think from the Labour Party, which is why we are seeing these astonishing rapid shifts in British politics.”

The beating of two whites by a mob of Blacks after the Cincinnati Jazz Festival was called "justified" by the City's Police Chief Terri Theetge. "Look, the two white individuals provoked the assault," she said. "First, the concert they all attended was a jazz concert. Jazz is Black music--invented by and for Black folks. The white folks were engaging in cultural appropriation by intruding on turf that didn't belong to them." "Second, the beatings were video taped by numerous individuals at the scene," Theetge pointed out. "This intrusion into police business precludes our opportunity to say there that isn't enough...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is under fire from the House Committee on Ethics for misrepresenting her fiancé, Riley Roberts, as both her “spouse” and “non-spouse” on official filings—allowing him to receive perks reserved exclusively for congressional spouses. Last month, the Ethics Committee’s July 2025 report revealed that Ocasio-Cortez listed Roberts as her “spouse” on travel documents related to her controversial appearance at the 2021 Met Gala, despite not being legally married to him. The same report highlighted that she failed to list him as a spouse on her required financial disclosures, which would have triggered mandatory reporting of Roberts’ financial assets....

The Trump administration is reportedly weighing two proposals to remove China from critical U.S. supply chains. One option involves negotiating a rare earth mineral trade deal directly with the Myanmar junta. The other, and potentially more strategic, approach is to bypass the junta entirely and engage with the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), a powerful ethnic armed group that controls resource-rich territory and has been fighting the junta since it nullified Myanmar’s democratic election and seized power in 2021. Engaging with the junta risks legitimizing a brutal regime responsible for widespread atrocities, including airstrikes and ground assaults on civilians, hospitals, schools,...

The United States is preparing to launch the Golden Dome project, a large-scale missile defense system to actively shield the nation against all threats by space, land, and sea. Inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome system and Reagan’s historic Strategic Defense Initiative, the Golden Dome would be the largest missile defense system in American history. Donald Trump first proposed the idea in January 2025, but plans are underway to complete the project by the end of Trump’s second term. “They want a win to point to in November [2028],” a defense official told CNN. “And DoD [Department of Defense] wants to...

A Texas Democrat’s sudden departure overseas ‘for the foreseeable future’ raises important questions about immigration, assimilation, and American identity.If you’re an immigrant who came to the United States as an adult, but you leave America for an indefinite absence to attend to a family emergency in your country of origin, in what sense are you really an American? Is America actually your home, or is home your country of origin? Let’s say you also happen to be a representative in your adopted state’s legislature. Are you really able to serve your constituents and your district by going overseas indefinitely? If...

The Trump Administration may be about to turn over a new leaf when it comes to transparency regarding the ongoing Epstein uproar. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Epstein’s partner-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell was interviewed by the Department of Justice last month. Maxwell’s attorney, David Markus, told the press after the second day of interviews that his client answered questions about ‘a hundred people’. Now, CNN reports that the Department of Justice has an audio recording of the interview and is seriously considering releasing it for public consumption. This is also the first time the recording has been reported. Should the interview...

President Trump has dropped his demand that Rupert Murdoch immediately testify in the president’s libel lawsuit over a Jeffrey Epstein story in the Wall Street Journal, but the 94-year-old media mogul has agreed to provide his health information.Trump initially demanded Murdoch sit for a deposition within 15 days to answer questions about the Epstein story, citing Murdoch’s advanced age and various health complications.But the warring sides reached a truce, agreeing that Murdoch instead would provide “a sworn declaration describing his current health condition,” according to a joint stipulation filed in U.S. District Court in Miami late Monday. “Defendant Murdoch has...

Florida police arrested a 13-year-old on Friday who is charged with possessing child pornography and beastiality material after he joined an “online cult” that allegedly targets minors for abuse, according to a local sheriff. The unnamed suspect was charged with four felonies weeks after police received a tip about a group on Discord, a popular gaming platform, encouraging a young girl to harm herself during a “live cut show,” Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said in a Monday press conference. The suspect’s group adheres to “Satanic and neo-Nazi ideology” that has been linked to similar cases in the U.S., and...

[Catholic Caucus] The Unseen World – Hell For Christians, Hell and Paradise are neither subjects of speculation nor historical-academic studies: they are among the most important articles of faith, referring to the “unseen world” where we will live eternally. It is no coincidence that the poetic masterpiece of the Christian world, The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri (c.1265–1321), is entirely dedicated to the afterlife. The endless multiplication of academic studies has generated some unexpected effects. Over the past century, works have emerged on increasingly exotic subjects. Some of them—like George Minois’s Histoire des enfers (History of Hells, 1991) or Jean...

The man who recently caught police attention for allegedly abusing his 21 children in the U.S. previously served as a high-level Chinese government official for at least two decades in the region at the heart of the communist nation’s ongoing genocide, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation. In May 2025, police in Arcadia, California, arrested Xuan Guojun, 65, and his wife, Silvia Zhang, 38, for child endangerment after their two-month infant was brought to a hospital suffering from a traumatic head injury, The Associated Press reported. Police reviewed security footage from the couple’s $4 million, 10,000 square-foot mansion...
