One of the many problems facing Jay Jones' campaign this month has been a story about reckless driving. Back in 2022 Jones went driving on the I-64 freeway east of Richmond, VA and got pulled over for speeding. The speed limit on this stretch of freeway is 70 mph. Jones was caught driving 116 mph, which works out to 46 mph over the limit. Any speed more than 20 mph over the limit is automatically classified as reckless driving and usually results in more than a fine. But not for Jay Jones. He got a sweetheart deal from the court.If...

China’s audacious orbital energy station showcases high-tech ambition—powered by sun and silver—positioning the nation as a leader in the next era of global energy innovation. China isn’t just aiming for the stars—it’s building them. The country’s bold leap into the future comes in the form of a one-kilometer-wide solar power station, launched into geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometers above the Earth. This is not some sci-fi proposal, but an ambitious, state-led drive epitomizing China’s technological swagger and strategic focus. Daylight Never Stops: Power From the Void Picture a solar array so massive and advanced, it basks in the sun’s full intensity...

Things are not going well for Jay Jones. Maybe he could have survived his disgusting comments about a fellow legislator and that person's wife and children. But then yesterday we learned that Jones had previously made similar comments about police officers, suggesting that if a few more cops were shot and killed, they wouldn't be as likely to shoot people. If you missed this, I wrote about it yesterday. Unfortunately the earlier conversation about police wasn't over text messages so we don't have the proof it happened. Jones denied it, but the story is coming from the same Republican lawmaker...

CIA Director John Ratcliffe was able to share information with FBI Director Kash Patel that led to the raid on John Bolton's home. Bolton is a former national security advisor to President Donald Trump in his first term. Human Events Daily Host Jack Posobiec revealed on X in an exclusive report, "CIA Director John Ratcliffe provided Kash Patel access to US intelligence that served as the basis for the warrant to raid Bolton."

Another day, another Democrat “public servant” caught behaving like she’s above the law. On Thursday night, Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan, a Democrat-appointed prosecutor with the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office, was arrested in Newport after refusing to leave a restaurant and berating responding officers with her supposed “status.” According to a press release from the Newport Police Department, officers were dispatched at 9:51 p.m. on August 14 to the Clarke Cooke House after an entitled Hogan and her friend, Veronica Hannan, reportedly refused repeated requests to leave. According to the bodycam footage obtained by Nicole Solas, Hogan...

What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the...

A New York budget item negotiated by Albany Democrats sets aside $10 million to cover “reasonable" private legal expenses that state employees incur in defense of actions brought by President Donald Trump's administration since Jan. 1. Although the fund is for any state employee, critics say it appears to have been set up for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is the subject of a criminal investigation opened by the FBI and U.S Attorney’s Office in Albany on Thursday.

(College Station, T.X., April 29, 2025) – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins today announced a second round of payments coming this week for specialty crop producers through the Marketing Assistance for Specialty Crops (MASC) program, providing up to $1.3 billion in additional program assistance. U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) already delivered just under $900 million in first round payments to eligible producers.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – America First Legal (AFL) has filed a bar complaint with the Committee on Professional Standards against New York Attorney General Letitia James. The complaint requests an investigation into allegations outlined in a recent criminal referral from the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), claiming that AG James committed mortgage fraud. On April 14, 2025, FHFA Director William J. Pulte sent a criminal referral to the U.S. Department of Justice alleging that AG James has, in multiple instances, “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government-backed assistance” as well as “loans and more favorable loan terms.”

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison raked in $10,000 in campaign donations shortly after meeting with individuals linked to a nonprofit that stole $250 million from a federal program meant to feed hungry children during the pandemic. “I’m not here because I think it’s going to help my re-election,” Ellison said during the Dec. 11, 2021, meeting with two future criminal defendants linked to the Feeding our Future scandal, according to audio obtained by the Center for the American Experiment, a conservative Minnesota-based nonprofit. Days later, on Dec. 20, 2021, Ellison received $10,000 in campaign contributions from individuals linked to Minneapolis...

By now, Americans have grown painfully familiar with the new breed of soft-on-crime, far-left attorneys general. They’re everywhere—installed in one liberal hellhole after another like little ticking time bombs, handpicked to do one thing: dismantle law and order from the inside. They let violent criminals walk free, ignore looters, and go after political opponents instead of real threats—because that’s the whole point. These AGs aren’t just soft on crime; they’re part of the plan to destroy US cities. ... But the AG in Massachusetts? Well, she takes the cake. This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill Soros-style puppet. We’re talking about a...

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, the man accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel in December, 2024. Mangione, 26, faces separate federal and state murder charges for the killing. The federal charges include a charge of murder through use of a firearm, which carries the possibility of the death penalty. “Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” Bondi said in a statement, as seen by...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he finds it “sick” that Attorney General Pam Bondi was in “opposition to the rule of law” by saying judges should be impeached. On Fox News, Bondi said, “Many judges need to be removed, Judge Howell, included Judge Reyes, Judge Boasberg. These judges obviously cannot be impartial. They cannot be objective. They are district judges trying to control our entire country, our entire country. And they’re trying to obstruct Donald Trump’s agenda.” Guest host Alicia Menendez said, “Remove the attorneys, remove the judges and then you have the Speaker of...

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said Thursday on CNN’s “OutFront” that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is illegal and unconstitutional. Host Erin Burnett said, “A group of 14 states tonight just filing a new lawsuit against DOGE, arguing that Elon Musk’s ascent to power in the Trump White House is unconstitutional.” Nessel said, “It’s a clear violation of The Appointments Clause, right? You know, the United States Constitution, it grants the President of the United States the ability with advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint cabinet secretaries and directors over particular agencies. But Elon Musk in...

It stops today.

Isn't accepting bribes a crime? I always thought it was.

The Senate voted late Tuesday to confirm Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, voting 54-46 to install the longtime prosecutor and former Florida attorney general to head the U.S. Department of Justice. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., bucked his party to make the vote bipartisan. He was the only Democrat to join Republicans in support of the nominee. Bondi's confirmation comes as both the Justice Department and FBI have been under scrutiny by Democrats in Congress who have raised concerns over Trump's recent decision to pardon or commute the sentences of 1,600 defendants in the Jan. 6, 2021,...

Squads of FBI agents were escorted out of field offices in New York, Miami and Washington. Agents who were escorted from the Miami office were involved in the Mar-a-Lago documents case ... Everyone involved in that raid knew it was wrong ... We were just following orders ... Fire Driscoll immediately. File charges against him and prosecute him in the Miami courts. The next one will comply. Play by their rules. They set the precedent. ... If Mr Driscoll felt so strongly about not complying with a lawful command, he should have resigned his post. Instead, his “team” drove him...
