This happened to my father when he moved from Italy to America around 1930. My mom told me that his given name was Giuseppe, and that he went by Joseph once he moved to America... Why do I bring this up? Well, recently I heard about some of my friends coming across a person who will only refer to Jesus Christ as Yeshua... The idea goes something like this: “When Jesus was on this earth, he wasn’t called Jesus. His name would have been pronounced closer to ‘Yeshua.’ So, all these people going around the United States calling him ‘Jesus’...

For months, Kevin Warsh’s path to the Federal Reserve chairmanship ran straight through one Republican senator who refused to budge: Thom Tillis of North Carolina. Tillis had made clear he would block Warsh’s confirmation until the Justice Department dropped what he called an illegitimate criminal probe of current Fed Chair Jerome Powell. On Friday, the DOJ dropped it. On Sunday, Tillis dropped his block. The Senate Banking Committee is now expected to vote Wednesday on Warsh’s nomination. A floor vote could follow before Powell’s term as chair expires on May 15. Tillis had made his position clear since January, when...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) called for Democrats to “drop” their Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) after a shooting at the Washington Hilton Hotel on Saturday, and called for Democrats to support building the White House ballroom.Fetterman shared a screenshot of a Mediaite article from reporter Joe DePaolo about how security at the hotel, where the Washington Correspondents’ Dinner took place, was “awful.” In a post on X. Fetterman expressed that the venue at the Washington Hilton Hotel “wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession” of the United States government in attendance.

Just hours after President Donald J. Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and key members of his Cabinet were rushed to safety during a shocking shooting scare at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night, one Democrat Wisconsin brewery owner couldn’t hide his disappointment. Minocqua Brewing Company – a far-left operation in Minocqua, Wisconsin – allegedly took to Facebook (his Facebook post has now been deleted) to share his outrage that the latest attempt on President Trump’s life didn’t succeed. They even dusted off their disgusting “free beer all day the day he dies” promotion, with posts...

The gunman who opened fire outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner called himself the 'Friendly Federal Assassin' in a chilling manifesto he wrote before the attack. Cole Allen, 31, sent the eerie anti-Trump writing to his family members just 10 minutes before he fired shots at the hotel in Washington, where the ritzy press gala was taking place on Saturday night. The harrowing writing was given to police by a relative, a US official said. According to the New York Post, Allen's manifesto read: 'Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I'm not the person raped...

A top North Dakota lawmaker was killed in a small plane crash just moments after takeoff, police said. Rep. Liz Conmy and a pilot died on Saturday afternoon after the aircraft crashed into a nearby park in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, around noon, state Sen. Tim Mathern told the Star Tribune. The mother of four was aboard a Beechcraft BE33 on the runway at Crystal Airport when the aircraft suddenly 'couldn't get up in the air,' Metropolitan Airports Commission spokesperson Jeff Lea said, the outlet reported. Conmy, 67, and the unidentified pilot were pronounced dead after the fiery crash, the Brooklyn...

The Texas Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit over the state's investigations into families with transgender children because most of the investigations were closed and the children are no longer minors. In a ruling Friday, the state’s highest civil court ruled that because the Department of Family and Protective Services isn’t actively investigating the families, they no longer face the alleged threats they outlined in their 2022 lawsuits against the agency. The plaintiffs argued against dismissing the case, suggesting DFPS could choose to reopen its investigations without the injunction. But the Texas Supreme Court dismissed those concerns over future investigations as...

Democrats, anticipating winning back control of the House of Representatives following the midterm elections, are already plotting how best to serve the American people. Just kidding. They're already hashing out a plan to engage in their favorite pastime — impeaching President Trump. House Democrats are reportedly pushing to build a case for impeachment. And building that case includes launching “shadow hearings” in preparation for the big day. Man, the resistance party has certainly turned into a single-issue party. Imagine how intellectually challenged and totally void of morals you have to be to make that single issue 'get Trump.' They have...

Former prime ministers announce merger of Yesh Atid and Bennett 2027 into a single party, with Bennett at the helm.

A brewery in Wisconsin is offering free beer on the day President Trump is successfully killed. Aren't they literally offering gifts or compensation for the murder of a sitting US President? Shouldn't the FBI go speak with them?

Most cheered, but some called it a hoax or claimed it was a Trump supporter who did it. We've seen it before -- the giggling, the gloating. The left always dances a jig whenever evil takes a shot at President Trump, which happened again last night. President Trump charitably called the would-be assassin 'a sick person.' But the left embraced that 'sick.' They hate Trump so much they hailed that sicko and all the evil around him. The most hideous ones were found on X: [numerous X posts in article] SNIP Obviously, they are constrained by staff rules and can't...

Evidence found on Allen's electronic devices and in his writings point towards the theory he intended to target administration members in attendance at the dinner. His family members told law enforcement that Allen had sent them some of his disturbing writings before the attack, which prompted one of them to alert police. The writings did not specifically mention the dinner on Saturday. Another family member told investigators that Allen has made radical statements and that he frequently mentioned plans to do 'something' to fix problems with today's world.

WASHINGTON — Gunman Cole Allen sent an anti-President Trump manifesto to his family members about 10 minutes before opening fire at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner — calling himself the “Friendly Federal Assassin” and revealing he was trying to kill Trump administration officials, The Post has learned. “Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial,” Allen wrote in the document, which a relative provided to police, a US official said. “I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved...

NEWS: new info on the WHCD shooting suspect, Cole Allen, from the White House. I'll be talking with President Trump about all of this in 30 minutes on @SundayBriefFNC The suspect’s written manifesto clearly stated he wanted to target administration officials.

The suspected White House Correspondents' Association Dinner shooter, Cole Tomas Allen, signal boosted posts on the left-wing social media platform Bluesky arguing that President Donald Trump should be "immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes" and criticizing a "Freedom of the Press" pocket square that many journalists donned at last night’s dinner as "a white flag that no one can read unless you pull it out and wave it in defeat," a Washington Free Beacon review found, suggesting he thought a stronger message of opposition to the president was called for. "the president of the united states is...

It’s bad enough when leftists lie. It’s worse when they openly tell the truth. Leftists are no longer hiding their plans to take your guns if they ever gain power. That means it’s time to get activated in defending freedom. The gun-grabber ghouls of the left have always played a little game incrementally demanding more control over a commonsense and constitutional civil right. Though they used to occasionally say the quiet part out loud, things have changed. They’ve never been as blatant about it as they are now. In the past, the ghouls had the advantage that history had yet...

A faction of Boko Haram, officially known as Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS), has reportedly selected 68 women from a group of 416 abducted victims, with plans to distribute them among its members. The alarming disclosure was made on Thursday by the President of the Borno South Youth Alliance (BOSYA), Samaila Ibrahim Kaigama, who told SaharaReporters that he was directly contacted by one of the insurgents detailing their next line of action amid what they described as government inaction. According to Kaigama, the contact occurred around 8:00 PM on April 23, when individuals identifying themselves as members of JAS...

Cole Allen will be indicted on multiple charges. His alleged crimes occurred in Washington D.C. and he will be tried there. He will be found not guilty there, by reason of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Washington D.C. is the most Trump-hating place on earth. It, along with the surrounding communities in Virginia and Maryland currently have an unemployment rate of 6.9 percent, largely due to doge cuts under the Trump administration. Prosecutors must realize the entire jury pool is tainted with anti Trump folks and they will not find impartial jurors. Even worse, the judge will be anti Trump. It is...

A 2017 local TV news segment featuring a man identified as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect has resurfaced online in the wake of the incident. The clip, from ABC7 Los Angeles (KABC), shows a young Cole Allen — described as a Caltech student at the time — demonstrating a prototype wheelchair emergency brake at a tech conference focused on helping seniors. “The wheelchair brakes tend to lock the wheels, but don’t lock the chair to the ground. But with this device, that will prevent the chair from skidding at all,” Allen said in the segment. The report aired...
