WASHINGTON, D.C. — Attorney General Pam Bondi explained today that she was really going to release all of the Epstein files, but some pedophiles asked her to please not. Bondi stated that she understood the disappointment over her not releasing the client list, which has been "on her desk" since February, but she promised the pedophiles that she wouldn't. "Sorry guys, I told the pedophiles I would keep it under wraps," said Bondi to reporters. "Look, I'm just as bummed as you are. I had all these great little binders made up, with all the incriminating evidence I promised to...

While sourdough might seem like just another type of bread you can make or buy, it actually used to be one of the only options. Until the development of commercial yeasts in the 1800s, sourdough, made with naturally occurring yeasts and lactic acid bacteria, was the main type of leavened bread consumed worldwide. Sourdough undergoes natural fermentation rather than relying on additives found in baker's yeast. This means that, compared to other breads, it is easier to digest, has a less significant impact on blood sugar, and is potentially more nutritious. 1. It's Easier to Digest The fermentation process used...

The mother of New York City’s Democrat Mayoral nominee, Zohran Mamdani, is on record saying that he doesn’t even consider himself American — as the young socialist gets ready to potentially take over America’s largest city.. Hindustan Times back in 2013 quoted Mamdani’s mother Mira, a filmmaker, as saying: “He is a total desi. Completely. We are not firangs at all. He is very much us. He is not an Uhmericcan (American) at all.” (Desi is a term roughly meaning, “one from the country,” while “firangs” roughly translates to “outsiders.”) ... He was born in Uganda, raised between India and...

Former CIA Director John Brennan and disgraced former FBI Director James Comey are now under criminal investigation by the FBI for potential wrongdoing related to the now-debunked Trump–Russia collusion narrative — including allegedly lying under oath to Congress, according to bombshell revelations from DOJ sources obtained by Fox News. According to DOJ sources, CIA Director John Ratcliffe formally referred evidence of Brennan’s misconduct to FBI Director Kash Patel for criminal review. Meanwhile, a separate FBI probe into James Comey is also active, though details remain under wraps. Sources told Fox News that the feds are exploring a potential “conspiracy” between...

A large file of over 320 pages, damming the paper Haaretz who lost its way especially since 2000.

These are dark days for the ghouls of the gun-grabber lobby. Even though pro-freedom patriots have suffered some setbacks, in the grand scheme of things, we have them in retreat. Given that, we’re here to make the case for why everyone should have an AR-15, especially in celebration of Firearm Freedom Month.Naturally, the AR-15 and semi-automatic firearms, in general, have been one of the gun-grabbers’ biggest goals, and they made some headway in some states. But even that will work against the left. When there is no appreciable change in crime statistics, they will lose even that argument — unless...

At about 8:00 starts Interview with Dr. Noam Arnon, spokesman for Hebron community and involved in the 20-year effort to help local Hebron-ite Arabs secede from the PA and form its own Emirate under the leadership of the Jabri clan, which would then join the Abraham Accord and live in harmony with Jewish neighbors in Hebron. At 43:00 Arnon is done and he interviews insane woman, causing me to lose interest and shut it off. So after a brief summary of the Entebbe rescue, between 8:00 and 43:00 is the meat of the interview with Arnon regarding the Jabri Emirate...

O’Donnell claimed, without evidence, that Trump’s decisions somehow negatively impacted the early warning systems for the flood waters. “What a horror story in Texas,” O’Donnell, who moved to Dublin, Ireland, earlier this year after Trump was re-elected, said in a TikTok video posted Sunday. “When the president guts all of the early warning systems and the weathering forecast abilities of the government, these are the results that we’re going to start to see on a daily basis.” “It’s because he put this country in so much danger by his horrible, horrible decisions and this ridiculously immoral bill that he just...

Lefty billionaire Michael Bloomberg is back in the spotlight exploiting the disastrous Texas floods to blow a gasket over arguably his most obsessive political issue — you guessed it — climate change. The anti-American energy media mogul belched out a new op-ed on Bloomberg Opinion pontificating how “The Texas Floods Were Made Worse by Climate Denialism.” No, he wasn’t kidding. Bloomberg railed about how “[t]he scientific evidence is clear that the more frequent extreme weather we are experiencing is being driven by climate change — and that it’s only going to get worse.” Of course the Texas floods which killed...

VIDEOThe level of HYPOCRISY from this deluded Leftist is astounding. He wants to boycott Etsy for the "high crime" of allowing Alligator Alcatraz merch to be sold on its site but not a word of complaint from him over Commie merch being sold on Etsy. Examples of the latter include violent Commie Che Guevara and murderous Mao who caused the mass starvation of millions of Chinese during the failed Great Leap Forward. Plenty of prison merch is also sold on Etsy such as Folsom Prison and San Quentin merch but the Left only gets upset over Alligator Alcatraz. BTW, if...

The dominant Western narrative that Europe can arm Ukraine to victory against Russia is a “dangerous fantasy.” Europe’s defense industrial base is too hollowed out, its weapons production timelines too long, and its political will too fragile to offset Russia’s formidable military and industrial might.

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins revealed that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is rolling out the National Farm Security Action Plan, which will “promote agricultural prosperity” and “defend the foundations of agriculture” and strengthen the U.S. domestic food supply. During a virtual pen & pad event on Monday evening, ahead of a press conference on Tuesday, Rollins explained that the plan includes “seven key action items.” One of the key action items focused on “securing and protecting the American farmland,” while another key point focused on “rooting out fraud, abuse, and foreign adversaries” that were posing a threat...

The Trump Administration has extended the global trade negotiation deadline to August 1, 2025. So far, less than a handful of countries have been able to work out interim deals, including the United Kingdom, Vietnam, and (ironically) China. A few others, like India, have offered zero-for-zero tariffs with the United States—free trade, at least on paper. President Trump’s team has so far avoided making any “free trade” deals. They are right to be skeptical. Why? Real global free trade—much like real communism—has never been tried! And this is not for lack of trying. It’s because it is impossible. In reality,...

Biden bombshell: Here’s one for the history books. This morning, Playbook readers can read the actual six-page memo that convinced President Joe Biden to push for an early debate with Donald Trump last June. And a quick trigger warning: Dems may prefer to read it through their fingers. With friends like these: In the ill-fated briefing document, dated April 15, 2024, Biden’s senior advisers told him not to wait for the autumn dates proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates — the first of which, they noted, was scheduled after mail-in ballots would start going out — but instead to...

In exchange for sending tens of thousands of troops and vast amounts of artillery shells to aid Russia’s war in Ukraine, North Korea is likely demanding and receiving critical Russian military technology. While Pyongyang receives cash payments for its mercenaries, the real prize for Kim Jong Un is access to advanced Russian know-how that it cannot develop itself.

On July 1, 2025, in the Southern District of California, Federal District Judge, the Hon. Cathy Ann Bencivengo ruled that the State of California must modify their law to allow non-residents to apply for concealed carry permits. The logic is clear. At the time of the founding, there was no requirement banning non-residents from carrying weapons for self-defense. Judge Bencivido stated: The sole issue in this case is whether the Constitution requires California to allow nonresidents to apply for a concealed carry weapons (CCW) license. Plaintiffs, who are not California residents, complain that they are prohibited from carrying a firearm...

Well, it certainly hasn't taken long for leftist judges to ignore the stern scolding from the United States Supreme Court and get back to the important business of standing in the way of everything President Donald Trump does, as a federal judge just blocked the defunding of Planned Parenthood in the "Big, Beautiful Bill." It was less than two weeks ago that SCOTUS handed down a ruling that said federal judges handing down nationwide injunctions "likely" constituted an overreach of their authority. That apparently didn't matter to a district court judge in Massachusetts, who, as reported by Just the News,...

The Internal Revenue sends their auditor to audit a synagogue. The auditor is doing all the checks and then turns to the Rabbi and says, "I noticed that you buy a lot of candles." "Yes," answered the Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle drippings?" he asked. "A good question," noted the Rabbi. "We save them up when we have enough, we send them back to the candle maker, and now and then, they send us a free box of candles." "Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his question had a practical answer. So he thought...

For every silver lining, we must find a cloud! That is, if you're the liberal media, and the Trump administration and Israel have pulled off audacious strikes on Iran, severely damaging its nuclear facilities and eliminating many of its top military leaders and nuclear scientists. Thus it was that on Monday's Morning Joe, Katty Kay introduced a segment on the results of the strikes by proclaiming her intent was "not to throw cold water on any potential optimism" as to how there could be a moment for Israel to find peace with Saudi Arabia and in Gaza. In a discussion...

James Gunn has no time for moviegoers would take offense to him embracing the political themes in Superman's story for his upcoming film heading to theaters next week. The David Corenswet-led flick encompasses the DC comic's origins — akin to "the story of America" — and at a basic level, is about a man searching for a better life after leaving his original home (planet), the 58-year-old director and co-head of DC Studios said in a new interview with The Times. "I mean, Superman is the story of America," Gunn told the publication. "An immigrant that came from other places...
