When news hit last week that federal agents had raided John Bolton’s Maryland home and Washington office, the reaction was as predictable as it was hysterical. The left immediately leapt into hysterics, spinning the story as proof of Trump’s alleged obsession with revenge, tying it to Bolton’s bitter falling-out with him. Within hours, the usual chorus was screeching the same tired lines: Democracy is under attack! Trump is a dictator! This was pure political retribution! Only it wasn’t. A new report from—if you can believe it—the New York Times has thrown cold water on that absurd little storyline. According to...

...The Wall Street Journal wrote the hit piece against DNI Tulsi Gabbard, sourced to two “people familiar with the matter,” and “three other people with knowledge of the situation.” They all needed to coordinate with the WSJ. Think about it. The substance of the story is that among the 37 current and former Intelligence Community officials Tulsi Gabbard recently stripped of their security clearances, was an “undercover CIA agent” located within one of those agencies..

Throughout history, starting and then losing unprovoked wars has been a reliable way for dictators to forfeit their grip on power, either at the vengeful hands of the countries they targeted, via palace coups by disgruntled elites or occasionally even through uprisings by ordinary citizens weary of making sacrifices for a tyrant's deadly delusions. Within days of losing the Falklands Islands War to the United Kingdom in 1982, Argentina's General Leopoldo Galtieri, the leader of the embattled military junta that had launched the war to head off popular demands for new elections, resigned his office and started the process of...

In the wake of the horrific mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, where two young children were gunned down and 17 others wounded during a school Mass, CNN anchor Jake Tapper has sparked outrage by focusing on the “correct” pronouns for the deranged transgender shooter.

Westman in 2020 and began identifying as “female.” On Wednesday, he opened fire from outside the church windows, targeting helpless children and parishioners inside.

Nigel Farage yesterday vowed to deport as many as 600,000 people if he wins power after detaining them in 'large-scale raids' - an echo of the crackdown by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Donald Trump. Meanwhile, on the Continent, countries like Sweden, Denmark and Germany are cracking down on migration by making it far harder to claim asylum, with notable results. The latest statistics on the number of...

Prayers does not end school shootings,” wrote Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary and an MSNBC host. “Prayer does not bring these kids back.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, says the departures of several high-level officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including Director Susan Monarez, “will require oversight.” Cassidy, who cast a pivotal vote to confirm Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in February, supported Kennedy’s controversial nomination after receiving his assurance that he would not dismantle the nation’s vaccine safety systems. The Louisiana Republican posted his statement pledging oversight of the shake-up at CDC on social platform X. Now, Monarez and several other senior officials...
