Watch Comey tell lie after lie in this tough cross examination by Ted Cruz, including the lies that have just gotten him indicted. Good news is, Comey gave his evidence from Virginia, so he's being tried in Virginia instead of in swamp infested DC. Virginia is not great buts not as bad as DC.

Gasoline shortages in some regions of Russia have prompted the Kremlin to announce an extension of its ban on fuel exports. Ukrainian drone strikes on refinery facilities are believed to be a factor. The shortages surfaced in the Russian Far East and other areas last month, and have spread to the western Belgorod and Nizhny Novgorod regions. The governor of the Belgorod region said on social media on Wednesday that the government had received a number of questions about fuel supplies. The governor added that efforts are underway to keep the situation under control but there are problems. In areas...

The criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey — ordered up by President Donald Trump as he seeks to punish one of his oldest adversaries — will be resolved by the newest judge in the federal court where Comey was charged. U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a 2021 appointee of President Joe Biden, was randomly assigned Thursday evening to the Comey case, which quickly took on national urgency over questions about Trump’s deployment of federal prosecutorial power to exact revenge

MOUNT OLIVET, Ky. — Rand Paul might run for president in 2028. It depends on whether the Republican Party still has space for his fellow Kentuckian who now shares the title of Donald Trump’s biggest conservative troublemaker. “First, we’ve got to see if Thomas Massie will keep his job and get reelected,” Paul said after offering a “maybe” to the 2028 question. For Paul, a libertarian-leaning senator willing to break with the president when most fellow Republicans fall in line, Massie’s ability to withstand a Trump-backed primary foe speaks to his own future. “We represent the same thing. If people...

Comey’s indictment includes two counts: false statements to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The felonies each carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison, though if convicted, Comey would be a first-time offender who would likely receive a lesser punishment. They stem from an exchange between Comey and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) during a Sept. 30, 2020 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Cruz asked Comey if he had ever authorized a leak about the FBI’s investigations into Hillary Clinton’s emails and connections between the Trump campaign and Russia. The question zeroed in on conflicting accounts between Comey and...

The Palestinian delegation to the UN has circulated an official letter to delegations in New York calling for them to join a coordinated boycott of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the UN General Assembly on Friday at 4:00 p.m. Israeli time, Walla reported. According to the report, the letter asked delegations to "bring as many staff members as possible to the General Assembly hall and the guest gallery by 8:30 a.m." According to the letter, as soon as the Assembly president announces Netanyahu's arrival at the podium, the delegations must leave the hall together. The Palestinians said that this...

Comey's media leak denial in front of Congress in 2017 likely would have fallen outside the statute of limitations. But the fired FBI chief doubled down on his denial in 2020 — and he was indicted days before the statute was set to expire next week. Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Virginia on charges he made false statements to Congress when he denied leaking to the media – putting himself in legal jeopardy after having doubled down on his 2017denials during Senate testimony in 2020. Comey’s alleged leaking was already part...

Trump To Macron: 'I've always been on Israel's side'. Presidents Trump and Macron held a joint press conference where they clashed over the French initiative to declare a Palestinian state. Yoni Kempinski. Sep 25, 2025, 10:24 AM (GMT+3) At a joint press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron offered contrasting views on recent moves by several countries to recognize a Palestinian state. Asked if such recognition was “a gift to Hamas,” Trump replied: “Well, I think it honors Hamas and you can’t do that because of October 7th. You just can’t do that. But we want...

My latest song. Soup's on!

The American church has entered a season of mourning that is also, paradoxically, a season of gospel proclamation. Two lions of faith—Charlie Kirk and Voddie Baucham—have been called home, and the reverberations of their deaths are being felt far beyond the sanctuaries and seminar halls they once filled. It would be easy to see only loss in their absence. But theologically and evangelistically, God is already at work in their departure, multiplying influence in ways that remind us of the early church’s witness: “unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it...

Franklin Graham recently reminded us of something I’ve always admired about Charlie Kirk: he stood firmly on biblical truth, but he did it with compassion. He debated boldly, yet never with malice. He modeled what it looks like to stand on God’s Word while still loving those who disagreed. That’s what struck me most about Charlie’s ministry.When culture calls biblical truth hate speech, Christians must remember that speaking God’s Word is the highest form of love.Charlie Kirk’s legacy of truth with compassionCharlie never treated debates like a chance to humiliate others. He approached them as opportunities to present God’s truth....

Donald Trump just pulled off a political maneuver that has Democrats reeling — and, frankly, they should be. With a potential government shutdown looming on September 30, the Trump administration has made it clear that if Congress can’t pass a clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government running, federal workers could be facing mass firings. Not furloughs. Firings. Real jobs on the line. For years, Democrats thought they could weaponize shutdowns as a way to extract concessions from Republicans. Now, Trump has flipped the script by putting the pressure right back where it belongs: on them. The House passed a...

US President Donald Trump's new $100,000 ( £74,000) visa fee for foreign workers has drawn sharp criticism from the global tech community, triggering confusion at airports, concerns of brain drain, and growing fears that the policy could derail American innovation.In a wave of social media condemnation over the weekend, tech executives, startup founders, and economists expressed dismay over the hefty cost attached to H-1B visa applications—used predominantly by major tech employers such as Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft to hire highly skilled workers from abroad.While the White House scrambled to clarify the policy late Friday, the initial announcement sent shockwaves through...

Russia has said it believes NATO is plotting a "landing" in Ukraine as part of a bid by the European Union to "occupy" Moldova. The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed NATO military units were massing in Romania close to the Moldovan border and were also planning a "landing" in Ukraine's Odesa region, according to TASS, Moscow's state news agency. Why It Matters Moldova goes to the polls on Sunday in a critical parliamentary election. The vote is seen as a stark choice for the country between a path to EU membership or closer ties with Moscow. Following Russia’s invasion...

..... The speakers were complimentary of both Paul and Massie, characterizing them as principled conservatives in the face of criticism. Maddox characterized both Paul and Massie as the “most conservative” legislators in the nation, a comment that elicited applause from the crowd. Paul for his own part called Northern Kentucky a “bastion of conservationism” against liberal interests in Lexington and Louisville. 54-year-old Massie has occupied the House’s 4th congressional district, which includes Northern Kentucky, since 2012. He’s proven to have staying power among the electorate, carrying wide margins to victory in every election since that year.

Sir Keir Starmer has admitted that Labour has previously got it wrong on migration. Writing for The Telegraph ahead of a speech countering Reform UK, the Prime Minister acknowledged that, before his leadership, the party “did shy away” from voters’ concerns on illegal immigration. Sir Keir also unveiled plans for every adult to be issued with a digital ID card to combat illegal migration. The cards would become mandatory for work by the end of the decade. He wrote: “There is no doubt that for years Left-wing parties, including my own, did shy away from people’s concerns around illegal immigration....
