White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller told reporters Monday that the Trump administration has uncovered a “massive scandal” in Washington D.C. involving the doctoring of crime statistics. He said the alleged corruption is currently under investigation and said details of the corruption will soon be brought to light. “The results will stun you,” he said. Miller made the remarks in the Oval Office after President Trump signed a slew of new executive orders to end cashless bail throughout the United States and in the District of Columbia, prosecute the burning of the...

The liberals have gotten so absurd that they have turned themselves into comedy material. Therefore Justine Brooke Murray is now performing MRCTV comedy based on material published in Newsbusters. Here is Justine commenting on the absurdity of a Politico editor whining about no mass protests in DC against the federal takeover of the police department in the Capital. Oh, and look closely to see which Newsbusters article provided the comedy material. I would tell you the name that can be seen on that article but I'm much too (BLUSH!) humble..@Justine_Brooke schools the editor of Politico who is upset that there's...

The suspected instigator in the racially motivated Cincinnati brawl that left one mother unconscious has now been slapped with federal drug charges — on top of the laundry list of offenses he’s facing for his role in the brutal beatdown. Jermaine Mathews, 39, was indicted for conspiracy and intent to distribute a whopping “40 grams or more of fentanyl,” the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio wrote in a press release on Monday. He was also charged with “operating a premises on Kenton Street in Cincinnati for the purpose of trafficking narcotics” alongside three other co-conspirators based...

Ever since the Europeans signed on to the F-35 program, it has been clouded by one persistent fear: that in some future geopolitical crisis, Washington might seek to exercise leverage by denying software updates or spare parts, thereby rendering the European fleet inoperable. But where does this geopolitical anxiety come from? Is it grounded in historical fact (i.e., have there been precedents in which the United States weaponized its control over advanced weapon systems against its allies)?

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Two men in Palm Beach County have been formally charged in relation to crimes against a child. The Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office announced Friday that a grand jury has formally charged Josue D. Mendez-Sales, 27, and Pablo N. Cobon-Mendez, 23, each with two counts of sexual battery on a person less than 12 years of age. “My office pursued an immediate grand jury indictment for two individuals who committed a heinous crime against a child.

ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla. – A man died Monday night after he was shot by nine officers following a tense and chaotic series of events that began at a boat ramp and ended in a crash in Atlantic Beach, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said. According to JSO, the incident began around 6 p.m. at the Dutton Island Preserve boat ramp, where a couple from Georgia was fishing when they heard gunshots from across the water. The couple told police they saw a man, 37, shooting a rifle into the water, and the husband decided to approach the man and ask him...

"Well, I mean, I'm talking about the — the — I had had, there was a. . . . —Ghislaine Maxwell. Did you happen to bother reading the transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview? It’s tough sledding at times — both Ms. Maxwell and Deputy AG Todd Blanche tend to speak in choppy, incomplete sentences (as does, you might have noticed, President Trump) — but altogether the confab reveals that just about everything you think you know about the scandal might not be so, and her story is full of shocking surprises, assuming you can believe her. For instance, Ms. Maxwell...

Aesthetica @Anc_Aesthetics · 11h Haven't been able to get this story out of my head. I think this moment is the turning point. You're either the type of country that allows little innocent girls to be fed to the wolves and forced to defend herself against migrant rapists or you're the type of country where the men say enough is enough and take their country back. It's now or never.

It is possible for two things to be true at the same time: Trump was absolutely unfairly targeted, and Trump’s targets are now being fairly targeted for evidence of real, actual crimes. Both the New York Times and the Washington Post were out with Editorial Board editorials Friday night lamenting the raid on John Bolton’s home and office and they both read like they came from the same talking points. Both the Times and the Post frame it the same way: the investigations into Bolton, Letitia James, Adam Schiff, etc., are “weightless,” clearly just “revenge” on the part of Trump,...

Rob Sand is a gun-toting Christian from rural Iowa who goes deer hunting, drives a white Ford F-150 pickup, and opens speeches by quoting the Bible. He is also a rising Democratic star whose run for governor is spooking Republicans in the ruby red state. The father of two, 43, is the only Democrat to currently hold statewide office in Iowa and could hold the recipe for winning over voters in pro-Trump states.

Some leftists are now claiming that conservatives are foolish to expect President Trump, who once went bankrupt, to turn the economy around. As leftist claims frequently do, it shines a spotlight on their willful ignorance of history. Our society glorifies overnight successes and flawless trajectories. But it's worth refamiliarizing ourselves with the stories of individuals who have plummeted to financial ruin only to rebuild their careers and create successful businesses. These serve as powerful reminders of human resilience. Bankruptcy, a word synonymous with defeat, has marked the journeys of countless individuals who have refused to let it define them. Instead...

President Donald Trump announced the United States is prepared to accept up to 600,000 Chinese students as part of a trade deal his administration is trying to strike with China. “We’re going to allow, it’s very important, 600,000 students,” Trump told reporters Monday at the White House. “We’re going to get along with China. But it’s a different relationship that we have now with China.” Trump made the announcement ahead of a bilateral meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung after he was asked when he would sit down with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

US President Donald Trump has said he will immediately remove Federal Reserve official Lisa Cook from her position, in a major escalation in his battle against the US central bank. He said there was "sufficient reason" to believe Cook had made false statements on mortgage agreements, and cited constitutional powers which he said allowed him to remove her. In response, Cook said Trump had no authority to fire her and she would not resign.

A 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who recently fled her war-torn home for a safer life in the US was knifed to death by a homeless career criminal at a North Carolina train station last week, according to family members and authorities.

Southwest Airlines will soon require travelers who don’t fit within the armrests of their seat to pay for an extra one in advance, part of a string of recent changes the carrier is making. The new rule goes into effect Jan. 27, the same day Southwest starts assigning seats. Currently, plus-size passengers can either pay for an extra seat in advance with the option of getting that money back later, or they can request a free extra seat at the airport. Under the carrier’s new policy, a refund is still possible but no longer guaranteed. In a statement Monday, Southwest...

Farage unveils mass deportation plans for government Laying out his proposals, Farage said Reform would: Leave the European convention on human rights “no ifs, no buts” Repeal the 1998 Human Rights Act Disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention for five years and any other “barriers that can be used by lawyers in this country to prevent deportations” Create a legal duty for the home secretary to remove people that come illegally Detain all illegal migrants who come and we will do so “immediately”. About 600,000 asylum seekers could be deported in the first parliament of a Reform government, Farage has suggested.
