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...

Evil defeated tolerance again yesterday, in George Floyd’s Minneapolis.Just days after the Democratic National Committee held its “Summer Camp” in the Minneapple, with a speaker remarking that most Americans don’t care about migrant crime or carjackings, a “trans” person shot and killed two children and injured 17 other people at a Catholic school in the city. 23-year-old Robert Westman, who changed his name to “Robin” Westman six years ago because he identified as a female, eventually turned a gun on himself after the extended bout of senseless carnage.Westman (wonder why he didn’t change his last name, too) reportedly had a...

...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...

St. Tammany Parish Council member Kathy Seiden has hired a Trump-affiliated pollster and is exploring a U.S. Senate run to join a growing field of candidates challenging Sen. Bill Cassidy.

Seiden said she has hired pollster Adam Geller, who has worked on all three of President Donald Trump's campaigns, to look at the race. Seiden would join a group of major GOP opponents to Cassidy,...

It is the first time a Jan. 6 rioter who was convicted and then pardoned will get a refund.A federal judge has authorized a $2,200 refund to a Jan. 6 rioter whose felony conviction was dropped after President Donald Trump issued a blanket pardon to those who breached the Capitol or attacked police.It is the first time a pardoned Jan. 6 defendant has received a refund of the fines and restitution that many were ordered to pay, even though the Justice Department endorsed the refunds in April.U.S. District Judge John Bates approved the return of the $2,000 restitution paid by...

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. The depraved male shooter was born Robert Paul Westman but legally changed his name to Robin M. Westman in 2020 and began identifying as “female.” On Wednesday, he opened fire from outside the church windows, targeting helpless children and parishioners inside. Westman, 23, later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities recovered a...

Britain has the highest population of illegal migrants in Europe, according to the latest available estimates - as it lags behind European neighbours in its efforts to tackle the problem. 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...

Hours after a young man who appeared to identify as a woman and to hate Christians opened fire on Catholic primary school students at Mass on Wednesday, leftist Twitter had identified a culprit: prayer. “Prayer is not freaking enough. 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. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.” “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying,” lectured Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. “Forget about thoughts and prayers,” echoed CNN host Dana...
