Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 The WSJ is reporting that former FBI director Chris Wray is under investigation. “Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.”

The Right Way to Fight Anti-SemitismOctober 7’s second anniversary is cause for sober reflection on how to confront an ancient hatred.I remember the early hours of October 7, 2023. I was sitting at my desk in Gig Harbor, Washington, as the first grainy images from the Hamas terror campaign in Southern Israel started to circulate on X. For most of that day, I scrolled through my timeline, attempting to make sense of the carnage and barbarism.Elay, an Israeli-American contractor who had been working on my home, called me in a panic. Hamas militants had attempted to knock down his wife...

Since the October 7th 2023 horrific massacre against Israel civilians by Hamas; we have seen Israel decimate their arch demonic enemies and establish a surface peace and security not seen since its reestablishing in 1948. Dear friends, in light of these great victories, please do not be deceived into thinking that peace has finally come to Israel; though there is much to be hopeful for. Biblically, Gog’s invasion with his Islamic nation allies is yet to be and is at the very door (Ezek. 38-39). Then following after that; the most horrific time of all; Jacob’s Trouble and the Day...

The radical Antifa militants infesting Portland have issued a brazen call to arms: a coordinated “laser party” aimed at blinding and potentially crashing U.S. military helicopters patrolling the skies over the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. Independent journalist Andy Ngo reported the blog’s announcement and said organizers urged participants to converge at different vantage points across the city and “unleash your beam at the cop copter.” According to the announcement: YOU’RE INVITED: LASER TAG! Every night for weeks we are forced to listen to the threatening rhythm of helicopter blades as the federal regime spies on us. The...

Like many snowbirds, the massive shark Contender is gorging on fatty foods up north in preparation to go south to Florida for the winter. The New York Post: The biggest great white shark ever recorded in the Atlantic has resurfaced just off the coast of Canada – where he is plumping up on seals ahead of winter. Contender, a 14-foot beast, was tagged in the North Atlantic by OCEARCH in January – a non-profit organization that conducts research on large marine animals – 45 miles off the Florida-Georgia coast, off Jacksonville. His tracker only transmits a locating signal when the...

Does a video show Delta Airlines removing an elderly man from a flight because he was wearing a MAGA hat? No, that's not true: The man was wearing a red hat that read "Build Back Better My Ass," not "Make America Great Again." The pilot, who said he himself was "ultra MAGA", told him he was escorted off the plane for safety reasons since he refused a flight attendant order to take off the hat that included a profane word.

Rep. Thomas Massie is turning his defiance of President Trump into dollars. The Kentucky Republican raised more than $750,000 in the last three months — surpassing his previous best fundraising quarter since entering Congress by more than $100,000. “A lot of times, candidates get tripped up when Trump endorses their opponents because they can’t raise money, that basically shuts off all the fuel to the engine of their campaign, and that is not the case with me,” Mr. Massie told The Washington Times. Mr. Massie credits the surge in donations to Republican voters. “Every time he’s attacked me, there has...

Stalwart Moody Blues member John Lodge has died, his family confirms in an official statement. No immediate cause of death was reported. He was 82. "Our darling husband, father, grandfather, father-in-law and brother has been suddenly and unexpectedly taken from us," according to the news release. "John peacefully slipped away surrounded by his loved-ones and the sounds of The Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly. We will forever miss his love, smile, kindness, and his absolute and never-ending support." Lodge helped shift the previously R&B-leaning Moody Blues toward progressive rock with 1967's platinum-selling Days of Future Passed, which was also the...

Across the Western world, men are facing a crisis few dare to name. Fathers stripped from their children. Men bankrupted by divorce courts. Masculinity hollowed out by a culture intent on rewriting gender itself. Beneath the surface of ordinary life, an unspoken war is being waged -- not on crime or poverty, but on men. I didn’t set out to write a book about this war. Like many, I learned its reality the hard way. It isn’t just movie stars like Mel Gibson or Johnny Depp dragged through years of accusations and public humiliation. It’s millions of ordinary men facing...

Democrats Are Giving Up On DemocracyIt doesn’t matter how unpopular Democrats’ policies are, they are not going to negotiate, they are not going to compromise.Tectonic plates are shifting in the American polity. A new dynamic is emerging, and a big part of that new dynamic is a Democratic Party and a political left that is no longer concerned with persuasion or negotiation, no longer willing to chase after popular legitimacy or win over public opinion, but is so convinced in the righteousness and urgency of its cause that it believes it must resort to force.I’m not just referring to the...

Trump administration’s MAGA push is gaining traction before the next year’s mid-term elections in America. Two key developments regarding the H-1B visa system are already in place, making it difficult for US firms to hire foreign workers. The introduction of a $100,000 H-1B petition fee for each foreign worker will make it more expensive for US companies, while the second proposal is to launch a wage-based selection process. US companies are being forced to either hire the best-skilled foreign talent by offering a higher salary and the $100k petition fee or hire American workers. After H-1B, the next focus for...

Pennsylvania’s highest court has declared that Pittsburgh’s attempt to force all athletes who compete in the city to pay a tax, even if they aren’t Pennsylvania residents, is unconstitutional and unfair. The city had passed the tax more than a decade ago, forcing visiting athletes to pay an income tax just for the privilege of playing there. But the state’s supreme court has ruled that the tax unconstitutionally discriminates against nonresidents, according to Legal Newsline. The ruling is a win for MLB, NHL, and NFL players who visit Pittsburgh to play the city’s home teams. The lawsuit was brought way...

A couple from Woburn, Massachusetts has lost their license to foster children after they refused to sign a gender affirming policy form from the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Lydia and Heath Marvin have three kids in their teens, but they have fostered eight different children under the age of 4 since 2020. Their most recent foster child was a baby with complex medical needs who stayed with them for 15 months. "Our Christian faith, it really drives us toward that. James says that true undefiled religion is to care for the fatherless," said Heath. The couple said they...

A Florida man was hit with federal charges this week after he allegedly stole $7,000 in scratch-off lottery tickets from a convenience store, then returned to the scene of the crime mere hours later to try to redeem his loot, according to authorities. Justin Farley, 43, pulled into a St. Petersburg Circle K on May 5, and “opened multiple cabinets and took scratch-off lottery tickets,” before fleeing the scene in his grey Hyundai Elantra, according to a probable cause affidavit reviewed by The Post. Roughly 40 minutes later, Farley arrived at an area 7-Eleven to redeem the $7,000 worth of...

A powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck offshore in the southern Philippines on Friday, killing at least two people, while towns near the epicentre suffered structural damage and authorities warned of strong aftershocks. The quake, in waters off the town of Manay in the province of Davao Oriental, triggered a tsunami alert for coasts within 300 km (186 miles) of the epicentre, but the warnings for the Philippines and Indonesia were subsequently lifted. A strong aftershock of magnitude 6.9 struck at around 7 p.m. (1100 GMT) triggering a new tsunami warning, with the country's seismology agency Phivolcs warning of possible tsunami...

The West has forgotten its Judeo-Christian values, leading to continuous lunacies. Drag queen “Aubrey Ghalichi,” whose real name is Michael Browder, was recently pulled from a Pride parade and arrested after he confessed to having sex with a 13-year-old child he met on a dating app. Bowder was charged with two counts of sexual conduct with a minor according to court records that were reviewed by KNXV-TV. During a Sept. 16 interview, Browder reportedly admitted to police that he had, in fact, had sex with the boy. However, he claimed to have believed the lad was of legal age. He...
