Progressive activist Miriam Krinsky was at the top of her game in early 2024. As the founder and leader of Soros-backed Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP), she helped support the day-to-day work of the nationwide wave of progressive prosecutors elected in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Then it all came to a screeching halt when her own staff accused her of being a racist, according to emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. FJP, funded by billionaire financier George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, played a key role in supporting elected progressive prosecutors under Krinsky’s leadership from 2017 through 2024....

Bryan Kohberger has filed a sexual harassment complaint and is begging for a transfer after a fellow inmate threatened to “-—- -–-” him, and another made a crude sexual remark within days of his arrival at Idaho’s hellhole max security prison. The convicted killer of four University Idaho undergrads had barely made it one night in his maximum security prison before requesting to be moved to another part of Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Boise on July 30, according to documents obtained by People. The request complains of “minute-by-minute verbal threats/harassment,” as well as prisoners flooding their own cells with...

Students from some countries won’t make it to class this fall because of President Trump’s travel ban. Others can’t get visa appointments. Some are simply scared. Universities are panicking.Many Iranians are not going to American universities this fall. Students from Afghanistan are having trouble getting to campus. Even students from China and India, the top two senders of international students to the United States, have been flummoxed by a maze of new obstacles the Trump administration has set up to slow or deter people entering the country from abroad. Between the federal government’s heightened vetting of student visas and President...

Nate Morris is a textbook "McConnell protégé." And this is not an attack on him for that - if you were an aspiring Republican in Kentucky that's where you went...and the only place to go for awhile - McConnell got the reversal of the Dem stranglehold in motion. Being a Republican was to be lost in the wilderness. McConnell and Nate Morris have been on first name terms over two decades now. His ties to McConnell are why he became a political force in Kentucky and his connections and networking may have helped him in his private sector career as...

Democrats insanely scream at both VP Vance and Secretary Hegseth as they walk through Union Station in DC. This further proves why the Democrats can never have power again. Look at how they act. It’s ridiculous.

The US Air Force's top-secret RAT55 jet was spotted soaring over Area 51 in Nevada, confirming rumors that this enigmatic radar plane operates from the clandestine Groom Lake facility. >>> Minutes after landing, the RAT55 was linked to Hangar 18, Area 51's largest and most mysterious hangar, as its massive sliding doors were seen open, suggesting the jet had taxied inside.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration’s announcement this week that it would rescind the security clearances of 37 current and former national security officials was hardly an isolated act.In ordering the revocation of the clearances, President Donald Trump was turning to a favored retributive tactic that he’s wielded — or at least tried to — against high-profile political figures, lawyers and intelligence officials.The latest targets include officials who have served in the government across a range of agencies and positions, including on former President Joe Biden’s national security team and at the CIA and National Security Agency. It’s not entirely...

The National Guard troops are expected to stay in the city for 30 days, but the deployment could be extended if Trump and Congress deem it necessary. Trump can only authorize the deployment for 30 days without Congressional approval. Vice President J.D. Vance and other Trump administration officials on Wednesday met with National Guard troops at Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, which Vance claimed was because of the station's high crime rate. President Donald Trump declared a crime emergency in the district last week, and deployed 800 D.C. National Guard troops to the capital to help patrol the city and reduce...

SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — A federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled that the Trump administration can resume terminations of Temporary Protected Status for more than 60,000 immigrants from Nepal, Nicaragua and Honduras. A Ninth Circuit panel granted the federal government’s emergency stay it requested after a lower court postponed the termination of the Temporary Protected Status program for the three countries until Nov. 18 while litigation plays out. However, the three-judge panel denied the government’s request to stay the proceedings of the district court, saying that “management of the docket is within the discretion of the district court.” “The government...

The Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters long before they even go to the polls. Of the 30 states that track voter registration by political party, Democrats lost ground to Republicans in every single one between the 2020 and 2024 elections — and often by a lot. That four-year swing toward the Republicans adds up to 4.5 million voters, a deep political hole that could take years for Democrats to climb out from. Change in share of registered voters, 2020-24The stampede away from the Democratic Party is occurring in battleground states, the bluest states and the reddest states, too, according to...

Flight Lt. John Cruickshank was at the controls of a Royal Air Force plane on submarine patrol in July 1944 when he spotted a German U-boat steaming placidly on the surface of the Norwegian Sea. Swooping low, just 50 feet above the waves, the plane raked the submarine with gunfire, but the airplane’s depth charges failed to deploy. As Flight Lieutenant Cruickshank returned for a second run, he was now fully in the U-boat’s sights, and the submarine fired a shell that exploded inside the airplane’s fuselage. The bombardier was killed, and Flight Lieutenant Cruickshank was lacerated by shrapnel, though...

Trump’s win wasn’t merely a mandate, but a repudiation of Democrat policies.For months, the propaganda press insisted that President Trump didn’t win in a landslide. The goal was obvious: strip Trump and Republicans of any claim to a mandate and paint their popularity as inflated. But the narrative just crumbled, with a new report showing just how much ground Democrats lost in 2024.A New York Times (NYT) analysis found the “Democratic share of the electorate decreased” in thirty states (plus Washington D.C.) between 2020 and 2024 while Republicans “either expanded their advantage or closed the gap with Democrats in all...

A truck driver who spent only four years behind bars after killing half a junior ice hockey team in a horror crash is fighting deportation to India. Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, 36, barreled through a stop sign at 53 to 60mph and a bus carrying 29 players and staff from the Humboldt Broncos couldn't stop in time. The bus collided with the truck's front trailer, killing 16 and injuring 13 in the crash at about 5pm on April 6, 2018, in rural Saskatchewan, Canada. Sidhu was jailed for eight years in March 2019 but was released on parole after four years...

The United Kingdom has a problem with the U.S.: It's that pesky Bill of Rights and our refusal to surrender our rights to Britain's censorship and due-process-busting domestic spying schemes. Enter, stage right: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. I reported earlier this week that 4chan's notorious internet pranksters hired a couple of big-name law firms, after Britain threatened the American-based company with a £20,000 fine, followed by hefty daily fines, if the group failed to impose Britain's censorship rules on 4chan's users everywhere in the world — including in the U.S. 4chan's representation called the actions of Britain's Office...

Bed Bath & Beyond on Wednesday said it will not open stores or operate in California as it issued a scathing rebuke of the state’s intense lefty policies. Marcus Lemonis, executive chairman of Bed Bath & Beyond, said the decision “isn’t about politics – it’s about reality.” “California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive and risky environments for businesses in America,” he said in a press release. “The result? Higher taxes, higher fees, higher wages that many businesses simply cannot sustain, and endless regulations that strangle growth.” The beleaguered chain has launched a return to retail after filing...
