Why pay higher prices in a more competitive housing market when you can just keep paying compulsory taxes on your capital gains? That’s effectively the head-scratching argument CNN tried to make to ding President Trump’s tax-cutting agenda. Yeah, we couldn’t really make sense of that logic either.

Epstein! Epstein! Epstein!Please keep your minds focused on Jeffrey Epstein and his connection to President Donald Trump! No other story should be allowed to divert your attention away from Epstein and Trump.That definitely seems to be the attitude with Politico which is now treating the unfolding of the shocking details of Team Obama and their role in basically staging a coup against incoming President Donald Trump in December 2016 as really nothing more than an annoying diversion away from EPSTEIN! That is the basic theme of Tuesday's article by Politico's White House correspondent Eli Stokols, "Deflecting Epstein questions, Trump urges...

The Daily Mail reported Wednesday on a plot by a group of military officers and civilian Pentagon staff to force Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth out of office through a public pressure campaign based on a letter signed by Pentagon insiders. Citing the usual deep state concerns about Hegseth’s leadership, priorities and performance, three of the coup plotters spoke on background to the Daily Mail about the scheme (excerpt from long detailed article): Three Pentagon officials — two military and one civilian, and each with at least 20 years in the department — spoke on the condition of anonymity. …The...

The most infamous network in cable news could not handle the truth about what happened in the 2016 election, and quickly tried to hide the truth from their audience. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported, DNI Tulsi Gabbard released her second batch of previously undisclosed documents on Wednesday morning. These documents include more proof that Barack Obama directly gave the order to publish the Russia Collusion hoax, knowing there was no proof to back it up. Page three of this latest document drop shows that then-President Obama ordered the release of documents, knowing there was no evidence to back...

Yesterday, seated in the Oval Office beside a visibly stunned Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. —who thought he was attending a trade deal announcement and suddenly looked like he’d accidentally wandered into a political nuclear test— President Trump said the slowly boiling truth out loud. He accused Barack Obama of treason. On camera. In front of foreign heads of state and his top cabinet! Trump didn’t hedge, tease, or suggest. He boldly declared, “They have him stone cold. And it was President Obama. Barack Hussein Obama, he’s guilty. It’s not a question. This was treason.” Even for Trump, it was...

President Donald Trump stated that former President Barack Obama should be the subject of an investigation by the Justice Department following the release of reports from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The report alleged there is evidence that the Obama administration manipulated intelligence related to the Russia collusion hoax in the 2016 presidential election. Based on the report’s findings, Gabbard submitted criminal referrals to the Justice Department. Obama and several of his officials are now being accused of engaging in a “treasonous conspiracy” against President Trump after he was elected to his first term. Trump was asked who he...

VIDEOThose of you who live in South Florida might know about Democrat pollster Fernand Amandi. He was a host on WIOD Radio in Miami in the months leading up to the 2016 election. This shmuck's big shtick was inviting callers who supported Trump to tell why they think Trump could win that election... and then he proceeded to mock them. Oh, how Amandi laughed at anybody who claimed Trump could win. It was all great fun for Fernand Amandi to mock Trump supporters ...until Election Day. After that poor Fernand suffered a mental breakdown of such epic proportions that WIOD...

The U.S. Army has officially canceled the M10 Booker armored vehicle program as part of a major acquisition reform initiative. The decision was driven by a strategic shift away from counter-insurgency towards preparing for high-intensity peer conflict, a role for which the M10 was ill-suited. The vehicle failed on multiple fronts: it became too heavy for air deployment, was no longer cost-effective, and could not be adapted for future battlefields.

The European Union and the US administration are nearing a 15% tariff deal, according to a report on Wednesday by the Financial Times, citing people with knowledge of the matter. Three individuals familiar with the developments reported to the newspaper that Brussels is advocating for the deal to prevent a tariff increase to 30%, as previously suggested by President Donald Trump. The measure is expected to take effect from August 1. However, the European Commission reportedly briefed envoys on Wednesday after discussions with the American representatives. It is also indicated that both sides might eliminate tariffs on certain goods, such...

Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York admitted in comments that resurfaced Tuesday that she was eager for immigrants to enter the United States to help Democrats with redistricting. Clarke initially made the comments during an Oct. 7, 2021, House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, which were previously resurfaced in a January 2024 post on X from the EndWokeness account before resurfacing again. During the 2021 hearing, Clarke took aim at Republicans who were objecting to Haitian migrants. “I’m from Brooklyn, New York,” Clarke said during the hearing. “We have a diaspora that, that can absorb a significant number of these...

Could Barack Obama have orchestrated the “Russia hoax” – what Donald Trump has called “the crime of the century”? A closer look at Obama’s political rise in Chicago and his governing style in Washington suggests it’s far from implausible, and even likely. While the mainstream media has long celebrated Obama for his eloquence, historic symbolism, and aspirational rhetoric about “hope and change,” his career tells a completely different story. Beneath the polished image lies a consistent pattern of ruthless tactics and deceptive narratives straight from the Chicago machine playbook. “The Chicago Way” refers to a hardball and often corrupt style...

State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce announced on Tuesday that the United States will withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization or UNESCO. It's the third time the United States has made such a move. The first instance occurred in 2019 under the first Trump administration. The Biden administration rejoined it in 2023 and vowed to repay approximately $600 million in dues incurred since the U.S. stopped paying. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump signed an executive order stating that UNESCO, among other United Nations organizations, deserved renewed scrutiny, in large part, due to its anti-Israel and antisemitic...

Biden administration spied on Trump’s 2024 campaign also? Matt Taibi appears to admit he is working on this story. This would be a firestorm.

"No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted."

Isn’t it strange how some of the most notorious white supremacist groups — the same ones that idolize Hitler and celebrate the Holocaust — suddenly claim to care about brown “Palestinian” Arabs? Their selective outrage is telling. The very people who glorify real genocide now pretend to oppose a fake one — using the term “genocide” only when they can aim it at Jews. Let’s be clear: the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, which doubles as a propaganda arm, manipulates casualty figures while ensuring civilian suffering by using human shields and obstructing aid. This isn’t about humanitarian concern — it’s about...

First they came for the Alawites, then they came for the Christians. Now they are coming for the Druze.Ever since regime change in Syria last December, the country had not exactly offered safety to its minorities, despite President Ahmed al-Sheraa's (al-Julani) fine words that he is the head of all Syrians, not just Sunnis. Druze have been murdered in the town of Suweida, there has been massacre, mutilation and humiliation. In fact there are suspicions that Al-Julani’s own forces slaughtered the entire staff at Suweida’s hospital along with their patients and carried out extrajudicial executions. The international community has been...

Los Angeles was devastated by wildfires back in January, and the area is still feeling the impacts of the disaster. So when $100 million was raised by two FireAid concerts at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, featuring acts such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Billie Elish, and Jelly Roll, you'd have thought the money would make its way to fire victims. Well, it's not that simple. Sue Pascoe, editor-in-chief at Circling The News, has the story of how this money ended up not going to fire victims, but instead making its way to...

Decades before the rumored SR-72 “Darkstar,” America had already conquered hypersonic flight with the X-15 rocket plane. In 1967, this remarkable experimental aircraft, developed by North American Aviation, reached a stunning speed of Mach 6.7, a record for a crewed, powered aircraft that remains unbroken to this day.

VIDEOThe usual suspects are back at it again as they desperately attack DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard. Her crime? Revealing evidence of the coup against Donald Trump orchestrated in the White House by Barack Obama in December 2016. And now those same suspects are sounding ever more desperate in their attacks upon Gabbard because they KNOW she has the evidence.

Former Epstein Attorney Reveals Names Of 2 Dems On ‘List’ Former Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz named two former top Democratic officials on Sunday, whom he says appear in the Epstein files. Speaking to Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream, Dershowitz clarified that there was never an official “client list,” but noted that names can be uncovered through other means and that additional information is available. Dershowitz previously served on Jeffrey Epstein’s legal team during his 2008 case, in which Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor. “Are [the names] in the grand jury transcripts, and do you...
