The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released leaked audio of Mitch Rosas, an FBI Senior Paralegal Specialist, confessing there is “something” being covered up in the Epstein case. Rosas also said the FBI won’t release all Epstein files until “this Administration is over.” He also suggested a lot of powerful Democrats are on the Epstein client list. “None of the people that are in a position to answer the questions are willing to do it because it’s clear that they’re covering something and protecting someone or some people,” Rosas said. AUDIO: Rosas was fired on Monday and escorted out of...

As I previously reported, triple-amputee Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage, who was wrongfully imprisoned by Southern District of New York Democrat operatives over being paid an approved salary for his part in getting miles of privately funded border wall built in Texas and New Mexico, was released from prison to home confinement in August. One of the requirements for his home confinement is that he submit to a drug test at random times weekly. If home confinement participants fail to take the drug tests, they are put back in prison. The drug testing center Kolfage is required to travel to...

Rupert Murdoch’s chosen son Lachlan will remain in charge of the family business, forestalling a predicted challenge from his siblings over the political bent of the conservative media empire. Instead, three siblings are exiting the business altogether — in an ending worthy of a dramatic series finale. A protracted legal battle over the future of the Murdoch family trust was resolved on Monday, according to statements from the two companies, Fox Corp and News Corp. The companies said that the Murdoch family’s existing trust setup is being replaced. Prudence MacLeod, Elisabeth Murdoch and James Murdoch, described in legal filings as...

The early economic returns on President Trump’s immigration enforcement are unambiguous: American workers are winning. After decades of being told that mass immigration was an economic necessity, the data from Trump’s first eight months in office tell a different story—one where reducing foreign worker competition translates directly into higher wages and improved living standards for native-born Americans. The foreign-born workforce has contracted by nearly one million workers since January, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday. This represents a complete reversal of the 2024 trend, when foreign-born workers provided essentially all U.S. job growth, adding over 2 million...

Those who get their news primarily from the social media platform X were flooded over the weekend with posts about the killing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee stabbed to death on a Charlotte, N.C., light rail train........ Musk also said stories like Zarutska's are "sorely needed" to expose failures in the justice system, and warned his followers about "the magnitude of legacy media lies." Other conservative figures amplified the story as well. British journalist Piers Morgan asked his 8.5 million followers: "Why is the disgusting, senseless, unprovoked murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska by a man named...

Homeland ministers from Britain, the United States and the other "Five Eyes" alliance will announce new measures this week to increase border security and target people smugglers, British interior minister Shabana Mahmood said on Sunday. The ministers from the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network - the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - will meet in London on Monday and Tuesday, Britain's Home Office said, with measures to "smash criminal smuggling gangs" the focus of the talks.

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky strongly objected after Vice President JD Vance asserted in a Saturday post on X that "Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military." "JD ‘I don’t give a s[---]’ Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the ‘highest and best use of the military.’ Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??" Senator Paul wrote.

We often view the 90s as a golden era of optimism, a “simpler” time when we weren’t so disconnected by technology, when the economy was booming and the cultural landscape was rich in great music, movies, television, you name it. But, as with any decade, there were a great many cons to go along with those pros. Folks who were adults (or at least close to it) during the 90s can easily recall plenty of darker moments. So when they were asked, "What was bad about the '90s?" people didn’t hold back.

The Georgia daycare worker accused of brutally beating a toddler had seemingly glorified violence online before the alleged attack. A disturbing video of Yvette Thurston participating in a viral 2023 TikTok trend about stabbing has emerged in wake of her arrest last month. The clip shows Thurston, whose face appears to be blood-smeared thanks to a filter, acting out a skit in which an offender tries to justify violence by claiming they were provoked. 'Did you have to stab him?' a voice says as Thurston licks what appears to be a plastic knife. Her X account also features memes suggesting...

35-year-old Hugo Hernandez-Mendez, an illegal alien from Guatemala, brutally murdered a Maryland teen and threw her body off a bridge last month. 19-year-old Dacara Thompson went missing two weeks ago after she left her father’s house to put gas in her car. Surveillance video from the gas station shows Dacara Thompson approaching Hernandez-Mendez’s vehicle. After speaking to him for about a minute, she gets into the passenger side. Police said they drove to the suspect’s home, where he may have sexually assaulted Thompson before killing her in his bedroom. Hernandez-Mendez threw Thompson’s body off a highway bridge in the Annapolis...

BROADVIEW, Ill. — The ICE detention center in west suburban Broadview continues to be the center of large scale immigration raids expected across the Chicago area. President Donald Trump’s appointed “border czar,” Tom Homan, saying Chicago should expect stepped up raids this week. That was backed up Monday afternoon by a post on the Department of Homeland Security’s website. Meanwhile, at the processing facility in Broadview, WGN News has seen a number of people coming on their own accord, saying that they’ve been summoned by immigration officials. Others are being brought in by agents

E. Jean Carroll, fresh off her victory in a federal appeals court on Monday, bragged about employing “tricks” in order to sway a jury hostile to President Donald Trump. To win the case, Carroll said she and her attorneys sought to make her “f**kable” in the eyes of jurors who might otherwise have been doubtful that President Trump desired to sexually assault her in an upscale department store dressing room 30 years ago. “I had a talkshow in 1996. I went through that, took screenshots of my hair, cut it in a bob, and then I found the hairdresser and...

House Democrats released a screenshot of what appears to be a letter to Jeffrey Epstein signed by President Donald Trump. The letter features a conversation between Trump and Epstein inside an apparently hand-drawn outline of a woman’s torso. Trump previously denied writing the letter when its existence was first reported.

Following a battle with cancer, the singer-songwriter passed away in his Long Island home on Friday. The sad news was announced in a statement from the band, which gave its condolences to Rick's widow Sue. Rick co-founded Supertramp in 1970 alongside fellow singer-songwriter Roger Hodgson.

Three new species of snailfish show there's still plenty of mystery surrounding the deep sea. Not to be dramatic, but I would die for this snailfish. Photo courtesy of MBARI, © 2019 MBARI ====================================================================== In 2019, scientists spotted something strange thousands of meters below the ocean surface. There, they filmed a pink bumpy blob with cartoonishly big eyes and more pectoral fin-rays than you could shake a stick at. Now, they’ve been able to confirm that this was a new-to-science species. It’s a snailfish, and better yet, it’s one of three new-to-science species described in a new study. There are...

Dorian Johnson, the friend of Mike Brown who started the false rumors that Brown was killed with his hands ups surrendering to police, was killed Sunday in Ferguson, Missouri. Dorian Johnson was also with Brown earlier when Brown strong-armed a convenience store owner and walked out with items he stole from the store. Ferguson Police reported on Dorian Johnson’s death on Sunday. The Ferguson police have one person in custody. No officers were involved in the shooting.

If Brock Purdy’s game-winning touchdown pass to Jake Tonges against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 felt like an improbable play, it’s because it essentially was.
