On Monday, Eric Coomer, former Director of Product Strategy and Security for Dominion Voting Systems, will face off against Mike Lindell, MyPillow, and FrankSpeech (consolidated as “Lindell”) in a lawsuit brought in federal court in Colorado. Coomer is suing Lindell for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and civil conspiracy, claiming that Lindell’s conduct provoked “an onslaught of harassment and credible death threats issued against him.” The lawsuit centers around alleged false claims and defamatory statements made by Mike Lindell as a result of accusations made by Joe Oltmann on The Conservative Daily Podcast (now Untamed) following the 2020 election....

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) assailed the Big Beautiful Bill's cuts to Medicaid as "an unfair assault on the heath of America's most vulnerable people. Millions will be denied coverage. Others will be forced to work in order to get health care. When voters find out what Republicans are doing they will vote them out of office." Rep. Erin Houchin (R-Ind) defended the legislation, saying "if you think about the four things that we're doing in Medicaid to strengthen it, you'll see that we're removing any payments that are illegal, ineligible or duplicate, and we're ensuring that able-bodied adults have a...

If we cut through all the polite pretending, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick appears on Fox News to tell the bobble head the nation specific tariffs are going to hit regardless of what approaches need to be taken. President Trump is going to remain focused on structural changes to the global economic system of trade, manufacturing and USA commerce despite all of the grandiose efforts of the multinationals and their Lawfare foot soldiers.As Lutnick again repeats, there are a variety of legal mechanisms that can be used to enforce the tariff program triggered by President Trump. Adhering to them is not...

If you come at a career business savant like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, you better not miss. CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan hilariously had to learn that the hard way on Sunday. Brennan tried to corner the Treasury Department head from a number of fronts on the economy, such as tariffs and inflation. In response, Bessent repeatedly made Brennan look completely foolish. Regarding inflation in particular, Brennan whipped out a piece by anti-Trumper strategist Karl Rove (whom she dubbed a “conservative”), arguing that Walmart wouldn’t be able to break even if it just ate the tariffs President Donald...

https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/55733 So what exactly are the Americans proposing to Iran regarding uranium enrichment, and why is it not working so far? According to foreign reports, the US is proposing to establish a kind of multinational corporation that will enrich uranium for several countries in the Middle East that are interested in a civilian nuclear program (for example, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and perhaps Turkey and Egypt). The member states will be the joint owners of the corporation, and thus Iran will be able to exercise the right it strongly demands - to enrich uranium itself and not...

There are about 533 million firearms in private hands in the United States of America in 2025. The current population is estimated at 343 million people. This gives a record number of 1.55 firearms for every person in the United States. The number of privately owned firearms in the United States is growing by 15-20 million firearms a year.The number of firearms which are privately owned in the United States is not clear and obvious or easily measured. There has never been a registry of firearms for the United States. A national firearms registry is forbidden by law. There are...

During this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick downplayed efforts by federal courts, including the Court of International Trade, to stymy the Trump administration’s use of tariffs. “OK, so we want to start here with the Court of International Trade,” host Shannon Bream said. “This is a decision that went against the president days ago. They said because of the Constitution’s express allocation of the tariff power to Congress, an unlimited delegation of tariff authority to the president would constitute an improper abdication of legislative power to another branch of government. Just to boil that down,...

Illegitimate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky opened his comments at the peace negotiations in Turkey by gloating about Sunday’s surprise attack deep inside Russia and begging the West (NATO) for more weapons to hurl at Russia. Zelensky’s comments come the day after Ukraine and its Western allies pulled off a massive attack deep inside Russia.

Ukraine’s extraordinary attack deep inside Russia has, at a stroke, rewritten the rules of modern war. On Sunday a swarm of small drones, each costing under $500, rose over four Russian airfields deep inside Siberia and the Arctic and destroyed over forty strategic bombers reportedly worth over $7 billion. Thanks to meticulous planning, sophisticated military imagination and an underdog’s boldness of vision, Kyiv’s forces have landed a stunning blow on their far stronger opponent, opening a new chapter in the history of human conflict. The question that will be haunting Putin is – what’s next? Ukraine’s famously stone-faced chief of...

VIDEOGlobal vaccine hesitancy has gone so viral that even at one of the centers of the Covid vax mandate, the British National Health Service, nine out of ten doctors, nurses, and staff have now REFUSED to take the flu vaccine. What happened to those strongly enforcing the mandate a few years ago? Why not track them down and ask them what they now think about this issue? I am especially interested in learning the current views of one of the most vicious of the mandate enforcers, Michael Gunner who was the Chief Minister of Australia's Northern Territory. A few months...

I recently came across an alarming 2014 article on academic freedom in the Harvard Crimson. “Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice” was the subtitle. The author was an obviously very bright female student. Academic freedom exists to allow a university to be unimpeded in its search for truth. It has been known since the 18th-century philosopher David Hume, if not before, that justice depends on first getting the facts right. A just conviction depends on true evidence. Academic freedom is necessary to achieve real justice. But not according to then-Harvard student Sandra Korn, whose first target...

First the cliff notes version: There’s an important detail to remember. People are laughing at the long-range Russian bombers being left out in the open, vulnerable to attack. However, the bomber visibility is required as part of several nuclear agreements between the USA and Russia (SALT and START). Our U.S. long range nuclear capable bombers, covered under the same agreements, are also visible. Ukraine President Zelenskyy is playing with fire by targeting them, which also explains why Zelenskyy never told President Trump in advance. The U.S and NATO have provided the means. However, #1) did Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just...

I love watching women’s football (Australian Rules). It provides a better spectacle and healthier community than the men’s game. Watch the strength, agility and quick thinking of number 22 from Aberfeldie as an example of how good the women’s game can be to watch. (click link to see video) With a fantastic tackle she dispossesses a powerfully built Hillside opponent of the football, and then gets to her feet and brilliantly anticipates the trajectory of a handpass from another Hillside player to knock the ball behind an opponent and run around that player to possession for her team and race...

You’d think an elderly woman getting burned alive at a pro-Israel event by a man hurling Molotov cocktails while screaming “This will end when Palestine is free” would be universally condemned as terrorism. But this is 2025, with the media’s moral compass still spinning wildly and antisemitism extremely fashionable on the political left. So, instead of acknowledging the obvious, CNN went into full denial mode the moment the FBI under Director Kash Patel called the Boulder firebombing exactly what it was: a targeted terror attack. Despite the local police chief declining to confirm whether the Boulder attack was targeted, the...

Anti-ICE activists intervened and obstructed the officers, with one individual later posting a video online bragging about running the agents out of the area. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Boston were forced to abandon an operation after a crowd of activists surrounded their vehicle and blew their cover while they were surveilling the home of an illegal immigrant wanted for murder. According to Fox News’ Bill Melugin, who was covering immigration in Boston this week, the agents was in close proximity to a school during the operation in order to arrest a murder suspect. Activists intervened and obstructed...

As the administration continues to remake the federal bureaucracy to President Trump’s liking, the Office of Personnel and Management has developed an intensive new training program for those aspiring to join the Senior Executive Service, the upper echelon of government employees. Per an OPM memo, obtained first by RealClearPolitics, the syllabus includes course work grounded in the U.S. Constitution, “Founding ideals of our government,” and Trump’s own executive orders. The development program requires 80 hours of video-based training and culminates in two days of in-person training in Washington, D.C. It will affect government employees across the administration and disparate agencies...

VIDEOHere is a summary of the WILD experiences I had in Portugal over the course of 11 days from May 20 to May 31 which feels more like a couple of months. This is just a summary of what I will show in more detail with photos and videos over the course of the next few weeks which will be posted on weekends. Some of what you are about to see and hear appears no where else and hopefully will save you a lot of money and grief if you decide to visit that magical country.I barely scratched the surface...

Amid the wave of pardons and commutations President Trump has doled out to some of his supporters and surrogates, one former MAGA loyalist in Idaho is fighting to return her pardon. Pamela Hemphill is one of the more than 1,500 people whom Mr. Trump pardoned earlier this year for their roles in the U.S. Capitol Insurrection. She has invoked help from her Republican senator to formally refuse and block the pardon Trump issued her on Jan. 20, his first day back in the White House. Though Hemphill was a defendant of the largest criminal prosecution in American history, she is...

Though it’s been decades since I purchased this 78, it still never fails to move me. The electrically recorded voices of Henry Burr and Billy Murray, two giants of early 20th Century popular music, are heard together in this Al Dubin-Jimmy McHugh tribute to the fighting servicemen of The Great War.
