Bridgett Fertig repostedBridgett Fertig@LightOnLiberty·May 30America's gold is missing and President Trump knows it.A 1974 article in a New York periodical stated that the Rockefeller family was directing the Federal Reserve to liquidate Fort Knox gold at below-market prices to unnamed European buyers.3 days after her tip launched that story, Louise Auchincloss Boyer, Nelson Rockefeller's personal secretary, fell to her death from her 10th floor Manhattan apartment.The investigation ended there and the gold was gone. For 14 years, industrialist Ed Durrell wrote to over 1,000 government and banking officials demanding a full accounting of what remained in the vaults of Fort...

elf-professed liberal Bill Maher threw some surprise support behind LA candidate Spencer Pratt's mayoral run this week. Maher, 70, repeatedly praised the reality-star-turned-politician's 'drain the swamp'-approach to politics on Monday's edition of Club Random. He agreed that current Mayor Karen Bass and other local leaders did not do enough after last year's wildfires. Maher also praised what he put as Pratt's 'authentic[ity]', after the latter promised to scrutinize - and address - local unions' current levels of power. 'You had me at hello,' Maher joked. He admitted: 'I mean on so many of these things, and you just have the...

Nassau County Executive and New York State gubernatorial hopeful Bruce Blakeman participated in the Israel Day Parade in New York City on Sunday, expressing support for Israel and voicing concern over rising antisemitism in New York. Speaking to Arutz Sheva-Israel National News at the event, Blakeman said, "It's a source of pride for me to be here to celebrate my Jewish identity, to support the State of Israel, and to support American values, religious freedom." Asked about the absence of mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani from the parade, Blakeman said he was "not at all bothered" by it. "He's an antisemite....

A federal appeals court on Monday ruled that the Pentagon illegally banned transgender troops. In a 2-1 ruling, the DC Circuit Court Appeals sided with crazed Biden judge Ana Reyes and said the Trump Administration’s transgender troop policy violated the Constitution. The Associated Press reported: A Trump administration policy illegally banned transgender troops from military service, a divided panel of federal appeal court judges ruled on Monday. The majority opinion by a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia circuit largely upholds a March 2025 ruling by U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington,...

Democrats are likely to retake the House and maybe the Senate in November, which is reason to ask: What would they do with that power? One emerging answer is that they seem determined to blow up the Supreme Court. Listen to Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the betting favorite to be the next Speaker of the House. “The Supreme Court is a disgrace,” he said in April. “In the new Congress, we’re going to have to do something about this Supreme Court, and let me be very clear: Everything is on the table—everything to deal with this corrupt MAGA majority.” He’s serious,...

TRANSCRIPT below the postEric Daugherty@EricLDaugh🚨 JUST IN: President Trump SHOOTS DOWN a fake CNN report that his Iran deal doesn't address their nuclear program"When actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon!""It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, that’s what most of the agreement is about. CNN, and so many others in the Fake News Media, is a Low Ratings disaster.

Karmelo Anthony, the Texas student athlete who was charged with stabbing a football star from a rival high school to death — and then raised $600,000 in donations — is set to face trial this week.

As Republicans seek to highlight Democrat James Talarico’s record on transgender issues, immigration, and other progressive causes ahead of November’s U.S. Senate election, the lawmaker’s campaign is embracing one of the nicknames those positions have earned him. The Talarico campaign recently began selling merchandise bearing the phrase “I’m a Talafreako,” a reference to a nickname used by Republican nominee Ken Paxton during his runoff victory speech. “He goes by a few names that you may all have heard of,” Paxton told supporters. “Some people know him as Tofu Talarico, some people call him Six Gender Jimmy. I’ve even heard some...

Almost every day now, there is another headline warning about the collapsing birth rate across the developed world, and along with it, another think piece attempting to diagnose why younger generations seem increasingly reluctant to build families. This week, new figures out of England and Wales showed that the number of babies being born has fallen to the lowest level since 1977, with couples delaying parenthood until their thirties or deciding against children altogether. The total fertility rate dropped to 1.39 children per woman, the lowest level ever recorded. The explanations offered for this phenomenon tend to revolve around economics,...

About a year ago at Erlanger Baroness, the largest hospital in Chattanooga, anesthesia staff noticed that a nurse was slurring his words and struggling to stay awake while on duty in the surgery center, according to a Tennessee Board of Nursing consent order. In the days that followed, the nurse failed a drug test and was fired, the order states. The nurse later admitted that for months he had pilfered and abused fentanyl left over after surgeries, sometimes daily, according to the order. Under most circumstances, this would be a routine case of what is known as "drug diversion," the...

Rep. Ilhan Omar has officially filed for reelection, announcing her decision in a brief post on X on May 30. “Filed for reelection. Excited to continue representing the incredible people of Minnesota’s Fifth District,” Omar wrote. However, the post quickly drew attention for another reason. Comments were disabled, preventing public responses on the platform. The move comes as Omar continues to face criticism from some conservative commentators and political opponents over allegations linking her to individuals connected to Minnesota’s massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, one of the largest pandemic-related fraud cases in U.S. history. This week, the case returned...

Explanation: Telescopic views of Saturn and its beautiful rings often make it the star of star parties. But this stunning view of the outer gas gaint planet's rings and night side just isn't possible from telescopes in the vicinity of planet Earth. Peering out from the inner Solar System they can only bring Saturn's day side into view. In fact, this image of Saturn's slender sunlit crescent with the planet's night shadow cast across its broad and complex ring system was captured by the robot spacecraft Cassini. After a seven year long journey from planet Earth, Cassini called Saturn orbit...

President Trump's attempt to donate the $1.8 billion settlement he reached with the Internal Revenue Service for publicly releasing his personal income tax data to an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that would make compensation payments to individuals wrongly targeted by the government has run into some opposition. Virginia US District Judge Leonie Brinkema has issued an order saying "the administration cannot take any action pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund, which includes the transferring of money to the Fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the Fund; and the disbursing of any funds from the Fund."
