Oh, the Irony.....Learning about Obama's reign for the last 10 years or so, I keep getting the impression of a brutal monarchy.We have been subjected to King Obama and Princess Hillary - both of whom hate us and want to be the emperor of the United States and any other countries they can dominate.And we have the MSM to lie us into compliance and in exchange, they are given filthy lucre and look down their noses at us as if they are our superiors.I think it's ironic that their royalist subjects, from the poorest person to the monied elites, are...

In a pair of interviews by Maria Bartiromo (1, 2), Devin Nunes said Hillary started the Russia collusion hoax to keep Donald Trump from being elected. Obama continued the collusion hoax. Then Mueller and his team continued the collusion hoax. When Mueller completely flamed out because there was no intelligence that tied Trump to Russia, they launched the Ukraine whistleblower hoax. Then we had the Hunter Biden laptop, and the raid at Mar A Lago.All of that was done by, basically, the same two dozen people and media operatives that are all involved in perpetuating these hoaxes. Although these crimes...

Pubs, clubs and restaurants will be able to open into the early hours as part of Labour’s drive for economic growth, a move which critics say will lead to more drunken disorder. Ministers are pushing ahead with plans to allow premises that sell alcohol to extend their opening hours in order to boost “the British night out” and help the hospitality sector. Keir Starmer is preparing to throw his weight behind the plan, which has been drawn up by leaders of the alcohol and hospitality industries and rubber-stamped by the Treasury. Critics are warning that the planned liberalisation of the...

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — James Comey pleaded not guilty Wednesday in a criminal case that has highlighted the Justice Department’s efforts to target adversaries of President Donald Trump, with lawyers for the former FBI director saying they plan to argue the prosecution is politically motivated and should be dismissed.The arraignment lasted less than half an hour, but it was nonetheless loaded with historical significance given that the case has amplified concerns the Justice Department is being weaponized in pursuit of the Republican president’s political enemies and is operating at the behest of an administration determined to seek retribution.Comey’s not guilty...

In a statement on October 4, officials at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada said that an aircraft 'was involved in an incident,' crashing in the desert just miles from the restricted zone around Area 51 on September 23. While the Air Force said that the craft was assigned to the base as part of the 432nd Wing, some on social media pointed out that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a temporary flight restriction around the area for an entire week. The location of the flight restriction placed the crash roughly 12 miles east of the security boundary around...

A special election last month secured Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) the 218 votes needed to force a vote on releasing all Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein. But Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva has still not been sworn in, and Massie suspects Speaker Mike Johnson has a specific reason for the delay. Massie said in an X post he published Monday, “Contrary to what he says, Speaker Johnson is doing everything he can, including delaying the swearing in of the most recently elected member of Congress and spreading misinformation about the legislation, to block a vote in Congress on legislation to...

The Tyranny of Digital ID Digital ID is a trojan horse for an invasive surveillance state. The UK government recently announced plans to impose digital ID on every resident, raising alarms among citizens across the Western world. Promoted as a crackdown on “illegal working” and a convenient tool to access “vital government services,” the ID will be “mandatory as a means of proving your Right to Work,” officials said, concentrating power in a way that would make the Party in 1984 blush.Unlike a physical ID, a digital version records every use and provides the government with a record of...

Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has been one of MAGA's favorite members of Congress, but that title may be waning. Greene has split from the bulk of her party, as well as President Donald Trump, on several key issues, including signing a petition to release the Epstein Files earlier this year, which she hasn't removed her name from despite reported requests to do so from Trump's allies. Just this week, Greene was praised by Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer who said on Tuesday, 'I think this is the first time I've said this, but on this issue, Representative Greene...

SAN FRANCISCO - The National Guard has been called to California's Golden City to neutralize a 600-foot-tall Katie Porter, who is apparently rampaging her way through San Francisco. Porter, a frontrunner in California's gubernatorial race, reportedly began roaring and growing to an unusual size after a reporter asked her a question. "You didn't ask her a question, did you? Oh no! She hates that!" cried Mayor Daniel Lurie as the hulking monstrosity smashed a giant hole in the the Transatlantic tower. "There's no stopping her now! Run! Run for your lives!" "BLLAAAAWWWRRRGGHHHHH!" responded Porter before swallowing a cable car....

The Parents Television Council was known for its campaigns against television shows By In the age of widespread internet use, many of the old fights about television’s depictions of sex, violence and profanity have fallen by the wayside. And now, one of the 2000s’ most prominent culture watchdogs is at its end as well. On Friday, the Parents Television Council declared bankruptcy. The Burbank-headquartered nonprofit filed for liquidation in Delaware’s federal bankruptcy court, revealing about $92,000 of assets and $285,000 of liabilities. The council’s revenue and cultural relevancy had dwindled since the aughts, when it sparked record-setting regulatory fines against...
