At this point, we’re starting to think Biden just doesn’t give a damn about what the majority of Americans really want or need. Pretty sure most of us aren’t worried about magically fighting climate change above the fact that we can’t afford groceries, banks are collapsing, women are being erased by men, and our tax dollars are being used to fund another war. Either he doesn’t give a damn or he really is that far gone and bad actors are telling him this is what people want. Maybe a little bit of both. Seriously with this, Joe? In my first...

Poor Ray Epps. Last July, the New York Times reported that life has “just been hell” for Ray Epps, who hasn’t spent a day in jail over his role in the January 6 Capitol riots. The January 6 select committee ran Epps through the wringer, with then-Rep. Adam Kinzinger explaining that Epps was “just another misled man” who got riled up by Donald Trump’s incendiary rhetoric. We’ve all seen the video of Epps inciting people to enter the Capitol, but in his second interview transcript, he claimed he thought the Capitol would be open to the public on January 6....

VIDEONothing says "DESPERATION" like turning to Eric Swalwell for solace. Yes, the formerly smug and gloating liberal who was already celebrating Donald Trump's indictment a couple of days ago is now so sadly desperate that she needs to turn to Chinese spy Fang Fang's ex-boyfriend to comfort her.

It’s a daily military assessment at a YouTube channel. He has been pretty accurate with his assessments of the situation ON THE GROUND in Ukraine.

I’ve noticed something strange since I came to Idaho nearly five years ago. Many Republicans whose families migrated to this region before Idaho was even a state are the most outspoken voices against what they call extremism. I have heard accusations that issues such as CRT and Queer Theory in public schools were never issues before the great migration from the West Coast, rather they are mirages created by activists to use for political gain. This is strange to me because maintaining that belief requires an incredible amount of deliberate ignorance and cognitive dissonance. Imagine your neighbor rushing over to...

If you’ve been in politics you have probably heard about the massive farmer protests that have been going on in The Netherlands and the more recent monster victory of the agrarian Farmer Citizens Movement. And the story has made for nice international headlines. Everyone loves an underdog that sticks it to the elite. From Yellow Vests to the Trucker Convoy. However what I have been noticing with these kinds of topics that go international is that a lot of it tends to suffer from a game of telephone where a lot of the actual context gets lost in translation. For...

In a shocking undercover video released Tuesday, New Mexicans learned why attempts to get education officials to listen to concerns about critical race theory, transgender indoctrination, masking children, and school lockdowns have been such an uphill battle: New Mexico state officials have trained teachers and school boards that parents have no rights when it comes to their kids. “Parental rights end when you decide to send your kids to public school,” claimed attorney, Andrew Sanchez (below), who conducted a recent training session for New Mexico teachers and school board members in Bernalillo County.

President Trump has said for years that the entire thing was a lie. Now he somehow obtained a letter from Stormy Daniels showing her signature and stating that she never had a relationship with Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign continues to gain momentum despite rumors of a possible indictment. Even Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador expressed concerns over the politicization of the American justice system. In a recent Twitter post, Mexican journalist José Díaz Briseño posted a clip of President Lopez Obrador’s statement on the matter. Fox News translated the Mexican president’s message saying that if President Trump gets arrested, “it would be so that his name doesn’t appear on the ballot.”NEW! Angry at US criticism of human rights in Mexico, AMLO comes out in defense of Trump, assuring that his arrest would...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis all but confirmed his plans to seek the White House in 2024, saying that if he ran for president, he would defeat Joe Biden.

The government in the Proud Boys J6 trial seems to be misleading the defense and the court about the existence of informants or Confidential Human Sources (CHS). A new emergency motion from the defense counsel in the Zachary Rehl case states the government waited until March 22 to tell the court that one of the defense witnesses has been a CHS “since April 2021 through at least January 2023,” or since the beginning of the case through the start of the trial. March 22 happens to be the day before the CHS was scheduled to testify for the defense. According...

It looks like the FBI may have known about Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings longer than anyone realized. An executive working for an Israeli think tank reportedly exposed Hunter to the FBI in 2019 after Hunter Biden allegedly “tipped... off” a Chinese energy official about an upcoming U.S. federal investigation, allowing him to flee law enforcement and potentially avoid punishment. Gal Luft is the co-director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security. The Washington-based think tank describes itself as a “non-profit organization which directs attention to the strong link between energy and security and provides a stage for...

This week, President Biden and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) sparred over the issue of transgender surgery for children. Claiming the moral high ground, the President asserted that "it is sinful to deny a child the right to switch genders. Parents who object are child-abusers. It is the government's moral obligation to step in and protect these children by providing public funding for the drugs and surgery needed to liberate these children from the horrors of being trapped in the wrong type of body." DeSantis countered by asserting that "it is not 'sinful' to prohibit the mutilation of minors. It is...

A Pennsylvania mother was mauled to death by two of her neighbor's dogs she had gone over to feed while the dog's owner was away, according to authorities. Perry County authorities said the 38-year-old woman, Kristin Potter, tragically died Thursday evening after she was attacked by her neighbor's two Great Danes in New Bloomfield, the county seat of Perry County, Pennsylvania.

If you are a consumer today, inflation is only one of the problems harming you. As prices go up, quality continues to go down. What most stores have to offer you might crassly be called “cheap crap.” In fact, economic writer Charles Hugh Smith has repeatedly warned that the “crapification” of the U.S. economy is the natural result of a “neoliberal-hyper-financialization-hyper-globalization model,” in which quasi-monopolist manufacturers mass-produce goods with the cheapest possible components, while customers with scant other buying options are forced to accept that few purchases will last.

On this date in 1985, 96 Iraqis were executed for an assassination attempt on Saddam Hussein. Though not the only or the largest atrocity of that dictator, it was the crime that would do to hang him under the U.S. occupation. Two years deep into the horrific Iran-Iraq War, Hussein paid a ceremonial visit to theShi’ite town of Dujail north of Baghdad and was greeted by an armed ambuscade — up to a dozen gunmen springing from the cover of date palms to fire at the president’s motorcade. They missed.* The ensuing vengeance was visited so widely as to earn...

The New York City grand Jury investigating alleged 2016 indirect hush money payments by President Trump had their second session in a row canceled on Thursday. The investigation by Soros backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has apparently been thrown into chaos following the bombshell testimony of former federal prosecutor Robert Costello to the grand jury on Monday that undercut Bragg and star witness Michael Cohen. CNN reported on the Thursday cancellation (excerpt): The Manhattan grand jury investigating Trump’s alleged role in a scheme to pay hush money to an adult film star will not hear that case when it...

Public health authorities are investigating an outbreak of bacterial infections across the United States caused by over-the-counter eyedrops contaminated with a rare “extensively drug-resistant” bacterial superbug. At least 68 patients in 16 states are suffering from severe side effects after using Artificial Tear eyedrops that were infected with a rare strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced on Tuesday. Last month, Artificial Tears Lubricant Eye Drops, a product used to lubricate dry eyes, was recalled by its manufacturer Global Pharma Healthcare. The drops were distributed by EzriCare and Delsam Pharma and sold at drug stores...
