The ghost writer who helped Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, pen her posthumous memoir claimed she knows everyone named in the so-called Epstein files. “Yes, I know who the names are,” Amy Wallace told News Nation’s “Banfield” on Tuesday of those tied to the notorious, now-deceased sex trafficker. “Virginia [knew] who the names are, but so does the FBI and so does the Department of Justice,” the “Nobody’s Girl” co-author insisted. “That’s why there’s such a clamoring right now for the Epstein files to be released.” Wallace, who spent four years writing the book, said she still...

When it comes to the rise of antisemitism, there is plenty of blame to go around. Much of the anti-Jewish agenda finds its support from the Jews themselves. Since the “woke” agenda was primarily supported on the Left, Jews backed the woke agenda, to their own detriment. Perhaps the most blatant example of this dynamic we’re now seeing is the support that New York Jews are giving to Zohran Mamdani for mayor. Jews must fight for themselves because no one else will.

While future guests of the White House will be having a ball in its forthcoming ballroom, for which demolition began on Monday, the massive renovation isn’t the first of its scale at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Since its debut in 1800, and reconstruction in 1817, the presidential residence has seen a number of major facelifts.

'And I was totally embarrassed. And for years, I would almost disguise myself before going into the psychiatrist's office that had my baseball hat on and my glasses and I'm looking around and I'm sneaking in as fast as I can. 'Yeah, and just because, you know, I was grown up to believe that it was embarrassing to ask for that kind of help and need that kind of help. 'And it took me years to get used to just feeling fine and confident about walking into the office. It was so forbidden in the world that I grew up...

Sanders-backed Democrat who accuses Israel of 'genocide' has Nazi 'Totenkopf'. Graham Platner, a military veteran and Maine Senate candidate, faces backlash after revealing a Nazi tattoo and denying knowledge of its meaning. Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner sports a Totenkopf tattoo on his chest, in an archival video released by Platner himself. The skull-and-crossbones symbol is commonly associated with the Nazi SS.

Former President Barack Obama thinks nothing of trying to interfere in the internal politics of democratic U.S. allies in Europe, and in the process, thwarting his country’s own current foreign policy, as determined by his elected successor, President Donald Trump. All in the name of democracy, of course. And he can do all this because he has built a very well-endowed foundation into which billionaires pour funds and which he uses to train future leaders to transform the world along Obama’s vision—pretty much the way he promised to transform the United States, and some say, sadly, he did. The Daily...

A scholarship for Black students at UC San Diego is now available to anyone, regardless of race, after students and a right-leaning nonprofit organization sued the university for discrimination this July. The plaintiffs argued that the scholarship fund violated a series of laws, including the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, which was put in place to protect Black Americans in the South. One of the students, Kai Peters, said he was denied access to the scholarship because he isn’t Black. Peters sent a written statement to CalMatters through the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, the nonprofit plaintiff. He said...

A SkyWest flight heading for Los Angeles turned around shortly after it took off after pilots feared someone was breaking into the cockpit. The plane’s system that allows the pilots and crew to communicate with each other malfunctioned, according to KABC-TV. That led flight crew members to pound on the cabin door to communicate with the pilots. The pilots feared that the pounding was an attempt by someone to force open the cockpit. Because they were unable to reach anyone in the crew due to the communications system glitch, they returned to Omaha, Nebraska, after covering only about 40 miles...

A far-left Howard University professor called for White allies of the leftist political cause to mirror a pre-Civil War-era vigilante mass murderer, who was eventually hanged for his crimes. Stacey Patton is a professor of journalism at the Washington, D.C., private school. In a recent blog post titled "John Brown Didn’t Ask Enslaved People How to Be A Good White Ally," she discouraged White liberals from asking her how to be a better "ally" to minorities, and encouraged them instead to emulate Brown. Brown was a militant slave abolitionist during the pre-Civil War "Bleeding Kansas" period. In 1856, he orchestrated...

New research reveals that Antarctica is undergoing a series of rapid, interconnected shifts that could soon reshape the planet’s climate and oceans. Scientists warn these changes may already be pushing critical systems beyond recovery. Credit: Stock Antarctica’s ice, ocean, and ecosystems are approaching tipping points that could trigger irreversible global impacts. Antarctica faces the growing threat of sudden and possibly irreversible transformations to its ice, oceans, and ecosystems, changes that could carry serious global consequences unless greenhouse gas emissions are rapidly reduced. This warning comes from new research published in Nature by scientists from the Australian National University (ANU) and...

In 2025, who knows what to expect in our EXPONENTIAL deteriorating and lawless day, but in it all, we know WHO we are expecting and looking for with great joy (John 14:3, 1 Thes. 4:13-18, 1 John 3:1-4)! Beloved, daily bombardments from this demonic world seek to rattle and destroy the faith of the men and women of Almighty God (John 16:33; Eph. 6:10-12, 1 Peter 5:8). It is so easy to look inwardly and subjectively and see ourselves as poor, wretched victims. It is sad to say that many blood-bought children of Almighty God in Christ today choose unbelief,f...

Construction crews began dismantling the East Wing on Monday, even as the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) has not granted approval for the ballroom itself. According to NPR, NCPC chairman Will Scharf — who is also a Trump aide — said at a September meeting that the commission lacks jurisdiction over demolition or site preparation, only the “vertical build.” At an East Room event with the Louisiana State University baseball team, Trump acknowledged the noise from the construction happening “right behind us,” and added, “They wanted a ballroom for 150 years, and I’m giving that honor to this wonderful place.”

[This story originally appeared in the Summer 2011 issue of MotorTrend Classic.] Before Jim Rockford and Thomas Magnum were even a gleam in the eyes of their TV creators, the most famous television private eye was Joe Mannix. Tall, dark, and two-fisted, Mannix was an old-school negotiator. He’d just as soon throw a bad guy off the roof as wait for the cops to arrive. Factor in numerous car chases and booby-trapped warehouses, and the occasional ride up a rock quarry’s conveyor belt during a prolonged gun fight, and it’s obvious why Mannix became very popular, and why the series...

When Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced that ChatGPT would begin allowing “erotica for verified adults” starting December 2025, the world crossed a moral line that should never have been approached. His defense — “We are not the elected moral police of the world” — was meant to sound neutral and enlightened. But in reality, it was the digital equivalent of Pontius Pilate washing his hands. This plan is being sold as a matter of “adult freedom,” but make no mistake: this is about normalizing sin, monetizing lust, and expanding the reach of evil under the guise of technology. What...

Outraged by accusations that an asylum-seeker had sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl, thousands of flag-waving, bottle-throwing, firework-wielding Irish citizens surrounded a migrant hotel in southwest Dublin, Ireland on Tuesday night, setting fire to a police vehicle. Six people were arrested from a furious crowd estimated to have numbered approximately 2,000. The Irish police force — or “Gardai” — say they were on the receiving end of “sustained violence” that included glass bottles, bricks and fireworks. Despite the onslaught, a line of Gardai in riot gear were able to prevent the mob from reaching the hotel. Bringing the “torches and pitchforks”...

“‘Those who hear will live. For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself’” (John 5:25–26). Those who experience spiritual resurrection will receive abundant (10:10), everlasting life. But the only ones who “will live” are “those who hear” in the sense of true faith and obedience to the gospel. “My sheep hear My voice,” Jesus declared, “and I know them, and they follow Me” (10:27). Believers are those who have both the spiritual faculty and duty to respond to divine revelation. In contrast, the lost do not...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with several US defense contractors this week, including Raytheon, GE, and Lockheed Martin. A few days later, major defense companies raised their full-year profit estimates significantly. Spokespeople say that tariffs have no impact on demand for the defense industry. Naturally, Ukraine is seeking duty-free defense imports on defense products paid for by other countries. Lockheed raised its profit forecast from $22.15–$22.35 per share, up from $21.70–$22.00. The revenue forecast increased to $74.25–$74.75 billion from the previous range of $73.75–$74.75 billion. CEO Jim Taiclet noted there is “unprecedented demand” for Lockheed’s F-35 fighters, CH-53K helicopters, and...

A federal raid in New York City’s Chinatown targeting criminal activity tied to the sale of counterfeit goods turned chaotic Friday as protesters clashed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, prompting city officials to say they had no role in the operation. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News that ICE and federal partners conducted a "targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement operation" on Canal Street focused on criminal activity related to the sale of alleged counterfeit goods. "During this law enforcement operation, rioters who were shouting obscenities, became violent and obstructed law enforcement duties, including blocking...
