President Trump's flurry of recent presidential pardons has cost crime victims and taxpayers approximately $1.3 billion in restitution and payments, according to a review by House Judiciary Democrats. The pardons absolved hundreds of convicted criminals from having to pay for damages and restitution caused by their crimes. Victims have not been made whole, the Democrats said — including U.S. taxpayers who must now foot the bill for the millions of dollars in repairs and cleanup from the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol.The Judiciary Committee Democrats' investigation, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, also cited several multi-million...

Legendary pro-golfer Phil Mickelson went scorched earth on Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar after she doubled down on her controversial comments about Charlie Kirk. “Ilhan spews hate every time she opens her mouth, she came here fraudulently and will hopefully be sent back to Somalia soon,” the LIV Tour golfer wrote on X Saturday.

The North American Mission Board has responded after an SBC pastor, who is speaking at their upcoming event, criticized Charlie Kirk during his recent sermon by insulting his character and implying that because he lived by the sword, he died by the sword. James T. Roberson III, the senior pastor of Bridge Church NYC, said during a message, among other things: I think Charlie Kirk and other political activists, particularly some on the evangelical right, often see ideas and policies that claim to be Christian, but they’re fought with in a carnal posture. They’re fighting for Jesus with anger and...

President Donald Trump put the heat on Attorney General Pam Bondi Saturday, demanding the prosecution of a list of adversaries in a social media post that he quickly deleted. In a now-deleted Truth Social post, the president called for charges against former FBI Director James Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and New York Attorney General Letitia James—slamming Bondi for "all talk, no action."

What about Comey, Adam "Shifty" Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as...

The Balfour Declaration was signed in 1917. It set out British support for the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. But when the Balfour Declaration was signed, the British had already promised Palestine to Arabs as an independent state and promised the French government that it would be an internationally administered zone. Even then, most of the land was still under Ottoman control. So why did Britain make these three conflicting promises? How did it try to resolve them? And how did Britain’s strategy in the Middle East help to cause a century of conflict?

Sir Keir Starmer is expected to announce the UK's recognition of a Palestinian state in a statement on Sunday afternoon. The move comes after the prime minister said in July the UK would shift its position in September unless Israel met conditions including agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza and committing to a long-term sustainable peace deal that delivers a two-state solution. It represents a major change in British foreign policy after successive governments said recognition should come as part of a peace process and at a time of maximum impact. The move has drawn fierce criticism from the Israeli...

In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration, according to multiple people familiar with the probe and internal documents reviewed by MSNBC. The FBI and the Justice Department planned to wait to see whether Homan would deliver on his alleged promise once he became the nation’s top immigration official. But the case indefinitely stalled soon after Donald Trump became president again in January, according...

Before the event, Rose shared why she agreed to the debate in the unfriendly atmosphere of higher education. “I will be going to Yale University to do a debate on abortion against the head of a pro-abortion group.

DON'T GET NUKED The Navy and Marine Corps rightly spend much of their time on chemical, biological and radiological training. As bombs and triggering devices become more mobile and terrorists become more sophisticated, it is important to prepare ourselves for disaster while hoping that it will be avoided. Regarding chemical and biological warfare, it is especially difficult to believe that something so small and invisible can be so deadly and dangerous. Just a little toxin in the air . . . and the next thing you know you're doing the "funky chicken" on the ground. Bad attitudes can be...

The Australian Government’s 2035 emissions target is ambitious, and the vehicles we buy are included in the pathway.

Spearheaded by the Climate Change Authority, the 2035 Targets Advice is the most aggressive planned reduction in emissions ever seen in Australia, and of course vehicles have their role to play. According to the CCA, to help meet this target approximately 85 per...

Active shooter at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, New Hampshire; reports of multiple victims

Marijuana is China’s gateway to infiltrating the US. Three witnesses delivered testimony before Congress this week, warning that Chinese nationals are dominating the illicit marijuana trade in the US, with vast criminal networks tied to execution-style killings, sex trafficking, money laundering, prostitution, and fentanyl distribution. In Oklahoma alone, Chinese organized crime groups have turned black-market marijuana into a $153 billion industry. All three witnesses described the situation as a national security threat influenced by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Not only are these networks scattered across the country, nearly in plain sight, but some locations appear to double as...

A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That’s why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we...
