The article link-click goes to a post titled "Scots, Wha Hae wi' Wallace Bled (Custom Piano Recording) - Salute to The Donald" from about three hours after the state-sanctioned homicide of Ashli Babbitt. Lyrics are from a poem by Scottish national poet Robbie Burns, deliberately framing it as a speech by Robert the Bruce before the Battle of Bannockburn (1314) in which the Scots beat the pants off the English troops of King Edward II who at 15,000–20,000 heavily outnumbered the Scots at 5,000–7,000. (It goes to a centuries old Scottish tune, "Hey Tuttie Tattie", "Onomatopoeia" for the sound of...

Narrative consistency on economic coverage is definitely not one of CNN’s strongest suits, and its latest pile of garbage it spewed to harangue President Donald Trump’s economy is case-in-point. CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman, who’s developed a reputation at MRC for being one of the most logically inconsistent economic writers at the decrepit network, launched another fallacy-rattled hit piece at the Trump economy. “It’s about to officially become Trump’s economy,” read Goldman’s headline for his January 2 op-ed posing as news, where he excoriated the president for accurately blaming his predecessor Joe Biden and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell...

Former President Joe Biden’s long career in politics allowed him to retire with the largest taxpayer-funded pension of any ex-prez in US history — $417,000, or more than his presidential salary, an expert says. Biden, 83, was in line to rake in the massive amount from two pension funds in his first year as former president, according to an analysis by National Taxpayer Union Foundation Vice President Demian Brady. “It’s pretty unusual, historically unusual, to have such a large pension amount,” Brady told The Post. “I would have to say that it’s the largest,” the taxpayer advocate said when asked...

A US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report found more that more than $5 billion in taxpayer funds went to rental assistance recipients during the final year of the Biden administration — including to 30,000 deceased tenants and thousands of foreigners who illegally entered the country. Former President Biden called these payments "a noble effort. In exchange for the money, every recipient allowed us to fill out and cast their 2024 election ballots. Sadly Trump still won the election and is now trying to disenfranchise these voters before we can cast their ballots in the 2026 Congressional elections."...

Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro. As President, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy.

This didn’t age well.An old tweet from Joe Biden claiming Trump “admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro” surfaced on Saturday after President Trump captured the Venezuelan leader following precision military strikes on the South American country. During the 2020 election cycle, Joe Biden said if he were elected President, he would “stand with the Venezuelan people for democracy” as he criticized Trump for reportedly being open to meeting with Maduro.“Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro,” Joe Biden said in response to June 2020 report claiming Trump is “open to meeting with” Maduro.“As...

As accusations of day care fraud swirl around in Minnesota two strong voices came out swinging at the accusers. Gov. Tim Walz (D) said "what we're all seeing here is racism, pure and simple. Republicans are always harping about how immigrants need to be self-supporting so as not to be a burden on American taxpayers. Now they are complaining that formerly penniless refugees from Somalia have gone from rags to riches in the daycare industry. Why is it that when persons of color get ahead whites insinuate that it must be by illicit methods?" "I think we ought to celebrate...

The welfare state is one giant scam. Once you start handing out money, much of it will be stolen. And the more they steal, the more thieves will show up and at that point you either cut off the dough or go bankrupt. If you look at our federal, state and local budgets, they’ve been climbing, so the thievery is only getting worse. The Somalis are only the tip of the iceberg. A US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report found more than $5 billion in taxpayer funds went to “questionable” rental assistance recipients during the final year...

In a passage of the interview, Biden said: "I would pick up the phone and call the president in El Salvador and say, you either f—ing send them back or I'm going to f—ing invade"Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele responded on Monday to remarks made by Hunter Biden in a recent interview, in which the former U.S. president's son said he would threaten military action against El Salvador over deportation policies. Bukele shared a video clip of the interview on social media with a caption that read: "Is Hunter Biden sniffing powdered milk?" The post came after Biden said in an...

The White House/Wikimedia Commons/Public Domain. Not only did the Obama and Biden Administrations go to great lengths to protect Hillary Clinton, they went to unconstitutional lengths to get Trump. The Obama-Biden Administration prevented agents investigating Hillary Clinton from reviewing some eight thumb drives of intel based on purported concerns over executive and congressional privilege, newly released documents reveal. This reality renders last month’s revelation that the Biden Administration approved Special Counsel Jack Smith’s subpoenaing of congressional Republicans’ toll records even more appalling — and the Democrats’ weaponization of the criminal justice system even more obvious and outrageous. Last week, Sen....

Hunter Biden just shocked the Democrat party by essentially condemning his father’s entire four years in the White House. During a rare interview on the ‘Shawn Ryan Show’ while promoting his new book, Hunter called out Joe Biden’s immigration policies for failing the American people and prioritizing illegals over veterans. “We don’t want immigrants coming here illegally, DRAINING us of resources, and being prioritized above people that are actual, literal heroes. People that are still recovering from years of endless war, or anybody else in our society,” Hunter said. Maybe this is why his family tries so hard to keep...

(LifeSiteNews) — Experts testified on Capitol Hill Tuesday about the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), including its role in the Biden administration’s discrimination against Christian and conservative Americans.The U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing, titled “Partisan and Profitable: The SPLC’s Influence on Federal Civil Rights Policy,” was billed as examining SPLC’s “coordinated efforts with the Biden-Harris Administration to target Christian and conservative Americans and deprive them of...

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Ken Martin has decided not to publish the post-election autopsy the Party has been working on since last year. "Look, we did our best to try to convince voters that Trump and the Republicans are fascists who want to undermine our democracy," he said. "But our message was drowned out by unfavorable media coverage and the inherent racism of white voters. The censorship of social media that was so successful during the pandemic lost steam as more folks began to doubt the effectiveness of the vaccine President Biden mandated. As data showed the vaccine didn't...

Summary Byron York argues that some media outlets are attempting to portray President Donald Trump as facing the same major liabilities that plagued President Joe Biden: senility and damaging inflation. On senility, York highlights a New York Times article titled “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office,” which notes that the 79-year-old Trump, the oldest person elected to the presidency, has fewer public events, a shorter schedule concentrated between noon and 5 p.m., and occasional signs of fatigue. The piece compares these observations to prior reporting on Biden’s cognitive decline, citing details like a bruise...

Federal prosecutors say the Biden‑era border crisis produced one of the most brazen cybercrime cases in years. The Department of Justice charged 54 alleged members of the Venezuelan terror gang Tren de Aragua with using sophisticated malware to loot millions from U.S. ATMs and funnel the cash back to their criminal network. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nebraska unsealed two sweeping indictments charging 54 individuals for their alleged roles in a nationwide ATM “jackpotting” conspiracy tied to the violent Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua (TdA). Prosecutors say the group deployed sophisticated malware to force ATMs across...

President Trump unleashed a new addition to the Presidential Walk of Fame in the White House Rose Garden, where portraits of all 47 US Presidents are displayed.Trump famously replaced the picture of Joe Biden with an autopen, taking a jab at the 46th President for not actually running the White House but ceding his power to those around him, who took illegal executive actions with the Biden signature affixed by a robotic signature machine.Reporters in the White House noticed this morning newly placed plaques under the photographs, which gave a Trump White House-crafted biography of the President.Biden and Obama, both...

nternal FBI emails declassified and released this week show that agents in the bureau’s Washington Field Office (WFO) repeatedly expressed doubts about establishing probable cause for a search warrant at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in the months leading up to the August 8, 2022, raid. Despite these concerns, Justice Department officials under the Biden administration still pushed forward with the operation... One key email states that the “WFO does not believe (and has articulated to DOJ CES [Counterintelligence and Export Control Section]), that we have established probable cause for the search warrant for classified records at Mar-a-Lago.” The email...
