If you’re not already sick of the barrage of “breaking” Trump non-news news, continue reading…So, here’s the deal: Before you skewer the messenger or trash the sources, if you’re so inclined, ask yourself: Is this report quintessential Donald Trump, or what? Then, if you find it necessary, skewer away; I’m more than used to it, it bothers me not, and I actually find it amusing. Anyway, let’s get on with the show.Sources close to Trump say if the former president is finally arrested, arraigned, and mug-shotted, he wants to turn the whole thing into epic Trumpian melodrama. (My description.) Trump...

Dr. Josh Adler is executive vice president and chief clinical officer at UCSF Health as well as vice dean for clinical affairs at the UCSF School of Medicine. I wondered if he would like to see these questions answered as well. So I asked him.Executive summaryI sent a list of questions to UCSF media relations on March 20 at 10am PST. I also emailed and called the head of media relations at UCSF to let her know about my questions.Their response: silence.You know what that means, don’t you?The questions I sent themThe UCSF Chief Medical Officer has issued a verbal...

During the Obama years professional progressives could afford a certain smug magnanimity, confident that demographic change had bequeathed permanent lock on power. It was smarter to nudge the great unwashed toward what was decided than boil the frog too quickly. So the populist reaction of 2016 struck many as profound betrayal: perpetrators had to be punished, examples made, and push brought to shove. What began as institutional resistance amid the Trump interregnum has become actively vengeful governance under the Biden regime—a policy agenda nonsensical as to most of its official objectives but coldly strategic as retribution against structural opposition, not...

Known as one of the cutest animals on earth, the fennec is the smallest fox on earth. This cute but wild canid is native to North Africa and is therefore considered exotic in the United States. Fennec foxes may possess tons of cuteness and charm but they are wild animals and could pose a danger to people. As a result, many states do not allow their residents to keep Fennec foxes as personal exotic pets. However, some states require their residents to obtain a permit or license to keep a Fennec fox as a pet. Only in a few states...

Rep. Matt Gaetz on Wednesday called on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to resist any attempt to haul former President Donald Trump back to New York to face criminal charges. In an interview with News Nation, the Fort Walton Beach Republican said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s efforts to indict Trump are politically motivated and will likely make Trump stronger in the long run.

Michael Cohen‘s attorney, Robert Costello, was on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show and Rob Schmitt’s show on Newsmax, making the same comments each time. He explained that the Manhattan prosecutor had 321 emails and cherry-picked six to show to the grand jury. The prosecutor shared INCOMPLETE EVIDENCE with the grand jury. That’s not justice. Mr. Costello absolutely shredded Michael Cohen as a serial liar and completely untrustworthy. Cohen’s former attorney was shocked that the Manhattan DA was going forward since their case depends on Michael Cohen, a convicted perjurer. Schmitt asked him about the cherry-picked emails and if that amounted...

As expected, The Federal Reserve raised their target rate (upper bound) to 5%, up 25 basis points. At the same time, Fed Reverse Repo useage soared to $2.28 trillion as banks hide from inflation. Here is today’s Fed FOMC decision. The Fed’s DOTs project looks like a ski slope with rates lower over the next few years (return of QE??) Treasury Secretary Janet “The BIG Statist” Yellen loves Modern Monetary Theory (MMT).

VIDEOA few days ago I uploaded a rather low resolution video featuring a J6 fedsurrectionist. Unfortunately that low resolution makes it difficult to identify him. However, the GOOD NEWS is that I found a much better resolution video (and much longer) of the same scene from a different angle. In fact, the improved resolution and longer length made it possible to easily identify MORE fedsurrectionists. At least THREE and probably FOUR fedsurrectionists were identified. Oh, and if you thought from the first video that the blonde woman standing by the window was a mere bystander, you can see in this...

Six weeks ago, veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a bombshell report, which named President Joe Biden as the official who ordered the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline on Sept. 26, 2022, and recounting the planning and execution of the attack in minute detail. Now, Hersh has published a follow-up slamming US media for aiding and abetting the US intel sabotage and cover-up.The story “was subject to a near media blackout in the US”, Hersh noted, until “US and German intelligence agencies attempted to add to the blackout by feeding the New York Times and the German weekly Die...

‘I introduced my son to some drag queens today, so Tennessee, f------ arrest me,' country star Maren Morris said Tuesday' Maren Morris, a Texas-born country star, told the state of Tennessee to arrest her during a speech at a pro-LGBTQ concert just weeks after the state announced a ban on drag shows near schools. "And yes, I introduced my son to some drag queens today, so Tennessee, f------ arrest me," Morris said Tuesday in the headline-making clip, winning her praise from The Washington Post, Variety, and a host of other liberal media outlets. Morris said her son, at just two-years-old,...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

There has never been an American leader quite like President Donald J. Trump. From the moment he was elected, he vowed to give the people their power back. “January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again,” he told the world in his inaugural address. “The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now.”Since his first term in office and his fight to reclaim American freedom in the wake of a “rigged and stolen” 2020 presidential election, Trump has been ceaselessly...

Pastors for Trump hosted a prayer call featuring President Donald Trump, who addressed the state of our nation and how people of faith can help. Pastors for Trump self-describes themselves as a group of “Patriot Pastors” on their website. Their main goal is to connect Christians across the nation to aid President Trump and give Christians a voice in politics. Their prayer call was organized in response to the Manhattan DA’s potential indictment of President Trump, which may lead to his arrest, per RSBN. https://t.co/DfQqNwD7Pn— Liz Harrington (@realLizUSA) March 20, 2023Within minutes of the call’s start, Roger Stone joined Pastor...

Its been almost two years now since we were first contacted by January 6 police brutality victim Philip Anderson. Phillip Anderson was on the ground on the steps of the US Capitol with Rosanne Boyland when she died that day. Phillip was knocked unconscious at the time when he was gassed and pushed into a pile by Capitol Police. He was later rescued and revived by Jake Lang, a current January 6 political prisoner. Rosanne Boyland was not as “lucky.” She was killed that day by Capitol Police. Cara Castronuova at The Gateway Pundit later posted video of Capitol Police...

BREAKING: U.S. District Court Special Master CONFIRMS @PVeritas_Action had actually confirmed the Ashley Biden Diary was LEGITIMATE. (Legal documents at link.)

Poor Brian Kilmeade sounds like he is reporting on a funeral this morning. The FOX and Friends host and Trump-basher reported on the latest Morning Consult pull showing President Trump up 54 to 26 over Governor Ron DeSantis. Kilmeade then compared President Trump to Jeb! Bush in 2016. That’s a stretch! Fellow FOX and Friends hosts look like they are reporting on a funeral.

When you read this tweet from the ACLU, it sounds like West Virginia’s attorney general is trying to block a 12-year-old transgender girl from attending school. West Virginia's attorney general is trying to block a 12-year-old transgender girl from continuing to participate in school — and he's trying to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court. We urge the Court to reject this egregious and cruel case. https://t.co/MEfeRgtb4T — ACLU (@ACLU) March 20, 2023 Well, this is a lie. https://t.co/zs3EIsGa36 — Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) March 21, 2023 Yes, it is.

The deposit runs and Federal bailout at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank has a positive silver lining: mortgage rates dropped -3.43% from the previous week. As such, we got an increase in mortgage demand. Mortgage applications increased 3.0 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending March 17, 2023. The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, increased 3.0 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the Index increased 3 percent compared with the previous...

President Donald Trump is a man of peace. Like his Republican predecessors Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Nixon, Bush 1 and Reagan, he can be tough when needed but prioritises peace when others seek war. Last week, on March 17, he clearly stated that we need to be “fundamentally reevaluating NATO’s purpose and NATO’s vision. Our foreign policy establishment keeps trying to pull the world into conflict with a nuclear armed Russia based on the lie that Russia represents our greatest threat. But the greatest threat to Western Civilization today is not Russia. It’s probably, more than anything else, ourselves ……..”...
