Attorney General Pam Bondi has admitted that the Justice Department (DOJ) made mistakes in handling the Jeffrey Epstein files, including errors in redacting sensitive information, according to a letter sent to federal judges. The disclosures, detailed in a court filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, come amid mounting scrutiny of the department’s handling of victim privacy and compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Under the bill, which was signed into law on November 19, 2025, the Justice Department was required to release all unclassified records, communications, and investigative materials concerning Epstein within...

The New Mexico legislature is considering what appears to be an unconstitutional bill, SB17. The bill creates considerable red tape and record-keeping requirements for gun dealers. It also bans the sale of numerous common firearms by simply requiring that dealers be forbidden to process background checks for those firearms. New Mexico requires dealers to run background checks for nearly all firearm sales.Excerpts of the bill from nmlegis.gov:A.

Democratic Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman, an avowed socialist, announced Saturday she will challenge her longtime ally, Democratic Mayor Karen Bass, who seeks reelection in June. Raman, an Indian immigrant, has served on the City Council since 2020 after — with backing from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — she defeated an incumbent councilmember in the Democratic primary. Bass, a former congresswoman, has served as Los Angeles’s mayor since 2022. She recently came under scrutiny for her response to both the riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in mid-2025 and the devastating wildfire which engulfed the city’s...

Daniel Huff, a former White House lawyer, noted in a recent analysis that the drive toward diversity and inclusion in the airline industry has put passengers at risk. In an article for the New York Post, Huff wrote that President Donald Trump was right to rescind diversity efforts at the Federal Aviation Administration. That’s because female and minority pilots — many of whom entered the industry amid a drive toward diversity among pilots — were responsible for half of pilot-error crashes. Despite making up 10 percent of pilots, they were responsible for four out of eight such crashes since 2000....

"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (Phil. 1:2). Nothing you face today is beyond the purview of God’s grace and peace. Paul's wonderful benediction for grace and peace was ever on his heart. He offered it in each of his epistles and expounded on it throughout his writings. Grace is the outpouring of God's goodness and mercy on undeserving mankind. Every benefit and provision you receive is by God's grace. That's why Peter called it "the manifold grace of God" (1 Pet. 1:10). Just as your trials are manifold or multifaceted, so...

The All-American Halftime Show pulled in OVER 25 MILLION views on just YouTube and Rumble alone, with a lot of large groups watching together, so the number of viewers is likely far higher. And the numbers are still climbing (broadcast partners, fast channel partners, and final counts incoming). Based on tonight’s success, we have committed to running it back again next year. The All-American Halftime Show will be back in 2027. God bless America. 🇺🇸

Readers may recall the veteran police officer in suburban Atlanta named Glen Weaver who was placed under investigation for asking a man to stay out of the woman’s bathroom. The Center Square reveals that this attempt to defend public order cost him his job: Weaver, 70, said he served the department for 28 years before retiring and becoming a part-time reserve officer. DeKalb’s elections department was paying him $60 per hour to work at the library during advance voting, the records show. He said he’s also been cut off from security jobs working for film crews making movies and commercials...

@RupertLowe10 Today at the inquiry we're focusing on the NHS, who in my view have as many questions to answer as the police. Young girls presenting with sexually transmitted infections, miscarriages? Wounds from obvious beatings? Clear signs of rape? Did nobody senior enough in these hospitals think to seriously sound the alarm? When hundreds of young girls are coming in, beaten? Individuals across senior management in certain NHS trusts knew EXACTLY what was going on, and did nothing. They should go to prison.

Five men were arrested in Miami last week after allegedly attempting to bring drugs aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise marketed towards gay people. The men are facing a variety of possession and trafficking charges after trained dogs alerted to their bags as they tried to board the Symphony of the Seas for what Royal Caribbean touts as 'The World’s Biggest Gay Festival at Sea.' After the dogs alerted, US Customs and Border Patrol officers searched the men's bags and persons. They found containers of pills and clear liquids that tested positive for methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and GBL. The names of...

Minneapolis anti-ICE rioters pelted dildos at a fellow protester in a mind-boggling attack days after Donald Trump pulled hundreds of feds from the liberal city. A mob of rambunctious demonstrators gathered in front of the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building on Saturday - a month after Renee Good was shot during a confrontation with federal agents. The group was chanting against ICE while chucking glass bottles and sex toys at a line of guards protecting the property. But the protesters' anger was misdirected at one point, with their vile tactics being used against one of their own. A cluster of...

Millions of NFL fans switched off Bad Bunny to tune into Turning Point USA's 'All-American' Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night. The NFL polarized fans with its decision to choose the Puerto Rican rapper and his Spanish-only songs for the big game in San Francisco, and many voted with their fingers to turn off NBC and load up YouTube and Rumble instead. Kid Rock headlined the alternative MAGA halftime show, with Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett also performing. The initial plan was for the show to also be broadcast on X, but that was thrown into chaos...

The clip begins with Wu, who was born in China, saying, 'I always tell people, the day the Latino, African American, Asian and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor, is the day we start winning.' 'Because we are the majority in this country now,' the congressman continued. 'We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone, and to make things fair, but the problem is our communities are divided - they're completely divided.'

Team USA figure skater Amber Glenn has revealed she is taking a break from social media after receiving a 'scary amount of hate' for condemning Donald Trump over his treatment of the LGBTQ+ community. Glenn, who is the first openly-queer woman to compete for the US in Olympic figure skating, addressed the impact of the Trump administration's policies on LGBTQ+ Americans at a press conference for the Winter Games in Italy. The 26-year-old told reporters it has been a 'hard time' for the community, while insisting she wants to use her platform to 'try and encourage people to stay strong'....

Borrowing from novelist James Hilton, who coined the word “Shangri-La” to describe a Tibetan utopia in a 1933 novel, Franklin Roosevelt gave that name to the peaceful retreat we know as Camp David. For California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Democrats, Shangri-La hasn’t become synonymous with a place that connotes peace on earth. It stands for a hellish homeless housing nightmare, eye-popping alleged fraud, and the ease and scale with which alleged con-artists rip off taxpayers. In October, federal agents arrested Cody Holmes, the 31-year-old former CFO of Shangri-La Industries, a downtown Los Angeles-based developer who was supposed to...

Labour MPs have called for Sir Keir Starmer to stand down after his chief of staff was forced to quit Downing Street over the Peter Mandelson scandal. Morgan McSweeney resigned today after pushing for the appointment of Lord Mandelson as Britain's ambassador to the US. While Mr McSweeney has been one of Sir Keir's closest aides for nearly six years and was considered instrumental in his 2024 election victory, his departure has been far from unanimously mourned within the Party. 'I won't be shedding a tear that he's gone,' one anonymous Labour MP said. 'He's the very worst of our...
