"The career FBI agents, the career Secret Service agents that investigated this case, didn't just look at the Instagram post and walk away," Blanche says. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Sunday that the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey goes beyond his "8647" Instagram post about President Trump. "Rest assured that it's not just the Instagram post that leads somebody to get indicted," Blanche said on "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "The career FBI agents, the career Secret Service agents that investigated this case, didn't just look at the Instagram post and walk away," he added. Blanche...

The deranged firebug accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire had become “fixated” with Luigi Mangione in the lead up to the deadly blaze — and then allegedly suggested the inferno was started out of “resentment of the rich,” prosecutors said. Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, was obsessed with the accused healthcare CEO killer and had routinely searched “free Luigi Mangione” and “lets take down all the billionaires” online, court documents show. In the weeks and hours before allegedly sparking the blaze that triggered the catastrophic Palisades fire, Rinderknecht — who worked as an Uber driver — ranted to customers about Mangione’s...

“The billionaires and corporations are spending big in this race to oppose me and to support the other people on this stage,” he claimed. This same statement is made by every Democrat in any race above the level of dog catcher, but when it’s being made by a candidate who is not only a billionaire, but whose only reason for running in any race is being a billionaire, that takes it to a whole other level of hypocritical grifting. If Steyer were just a working class Bay Area millionaire like Gov. Gavin Newsom or Rep. Ro Khanna, but without their...

U.S. Central Command (Centcom) on Monday dismissed a claim from Iranian state media that a U.S. warship was hit by Iranian missiles. “CLAIM: Iranian state media claims that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hit a U.S. warship with two missiles,” Centcom said in a post on the social platform X early Monday morning. “TRUTH: No U.S. Navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports,” Centcom added, referencing an effort announced by President Trump on Sunday to free up ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Tasnim news agency, in...

Modern Western unrest stems from a long institutional “war of position” that outlived its revolutionary purpose, leaving frustration, drift, and recurring political violence. In the week-plus since the latest attempt on President Trump’s life, many on the Right and in the political Center are, at long last, waking up to the possibility that the political opposition today is not entirely normal. It’s not unprecedented either, but it’s far from what we have come to expect in the so-called “civilized” world. As the polymath and public intellectual Eric Weinstein put it on Twitter/X, “These aren’t deranged liberals. They are normalized revolutionaries.”...

Millions have lost access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits since new work requirements became law July 2025, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday. There have been nearly 3.5 million fewer enrollees for SNAP benefits since July 2025 as the number fell from an average of 42.1 million in the previous fiscal year to 38.5 million as of Jan. 2026, the WSJ reported, citing federal data. 00:02 03:36 Read More The new work requirements stipulate that able-bodied and mentally fit adults aged 18–64 years old without dependents aged under 14 years old must take up paid or unpaid...

A taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark has sparked backlash by organizing a Muslim-only day to celebrate Eid. Epic Waters in Grand Prairie, Texas drew outrage this week as it released fliers for the June 1 event, which will demand a 'modest dress code' and serve only Halal-slaughtered meat.

A confidential Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School report has revealed a complete breakdown in basic officer training following a surge in permanent resident enrolment. One French-language platoon, which had over 80 per cent non-citizens, was reportedly wracked by an inability to communicate fluently, a lack of respect towards female CAF members and infighting between Cameroonian and Côte d’Ivoire candidates. The Quebec platoon saw fewer than one in two recruits graduate, while allegations of racial discrimination were made in multiple directions, from candidates against staff and between candidates of opposing ethnic blocs themselves. Additionally, command saw “challenges” in training permanent...

In March of 2025, Everytown, the activist organization created with considerable funding from multi-billionaire Michael Bloomberg, launched a website called EveryShot. EveryShot is an artificial intelligence tool using ChatGPT-40 mini to search for and list, according to Everytown, a collection of incidents in the 50 U.S. states involving shootings with a firearm or the brandishing of a firearm. Specifically excluded are BB guns, pellet guns, toy guns, or events that are fictional. A filter is used to exclude duplicates. The tool often shows multiple sources for a single event. The tool can flag events when there is uncertainty or discrepancies...

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Harriet Hageman for a controversial conversation on corruption, immigration, foreign policy, and free speech. Hageman lays out explosive claims surrounding alleged fraud involving the Southern Poverty Law Centre, arguing that the organisation fabricated and funded extremist activity while profiting from it. We unpack the broader implications of those allegations, the role of media narratives, and what potential indictments could reveal. The conversation then turns to what she describes as systemic fraud tied to mass migration, focusing on Minnesota and the Somali community. Hageman argues that failures of governance,...

California politics gets even carzier. Unlike previous elections for governor, California’s primary is now not based on party preference. Instead, out of whatever field of candidates is on the ballot, the top two vote-getters will face off in November. This was intended to eliminate Republicans from ever being governor -- since the top two would almost always be Democrats. Funny how the poet Robert Burns’ reference to “Best laid plans” comes to mind. Today’s Sample Ballot, courtesy of my county’s Registrar of Voters, has 63 gubernatorial candidates -- with about a dozen being Republicans. Many of the others are keeping...

Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized and is in critical condition, according to his spokesperson, Ted Goodman. “Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition. Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak,” Goodman wrote on X Sunday. “We do ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani,” Goodman added. The spokesman did not specify why the former New York City mayor, who is 81, had been hospitalized, or...

Investigate him. Impeach him. Indict him. Demonize him. When none of it works — what comes next? For nearly a decade, Donald Trump has been the most investigated, scrutinized, and politically targeted figure in modern American history. That’s not hyperbole. It’s his résumé. From the moment he descended the escalator in June 2015, the full apparatus of opposition snapped into place. Not routine political disagreement or opposition research, but something far more sustained: intelligence leaks, media narratives, fabricated dossiers, bureaucratic resistance, and cultural condemnation, all rowing in the same direction. The premise was simple. Something would stick. Anything would stick....

Iran’s Fars news agency, citing local sources, reports two missiles hit a US navy vessel near Jask island after it ignored warnings from the Revolutionary Guard to halt. The reported attack comes after President Trump said the US will begin “Project Freedom” on Monday to “guide” stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command said it would support the effort with 15,000 military personnel, more than 100 land and sea-based aircraft, along with warships and drones.
