Disgraced former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has finally responded after President Trump blasted him for allegedly approving a plan to leak classified information in a scheme designed to politically destroy Trump. .... Snip..... President Trump wasted no time in tearing into Schiff on Wednesday: “Just out, irrefutable proof that Adam Shifty Schiff “APPROVED PLAN TO LEAK CLASSIFIED INFORMATION TO DAMAGE DONALD TRUMP.”” Schiff took to X with a snarky post aimed at Trump, hiding behind none other than deep state swamp creature and former Attorney General Bill Barr: Sorry, Donald. Wrong again. Even Barr’s Justice Department rejected that...

An Illinois judge denied Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s request to enforce arrest warrants against derelict state House Democrats. The Democrats fled to Illinois last week to block the Republicans from voting on a new congressional redistricting map. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatened the derelict Democrats with arrest and removal from office if they didn’t return to the Capitol. Judge Scott Larson said Paxton failed to “present a legal basis for the court to obtain subject matter jurisdiction over this cause of action…” The Hill reported: An Illinois judge on Wednesday declined Texas Attorney...

Aren’t human rights wonderful? I’m sure many of our readers will recall the dark days before the passing of the Human Rights Act: child-snatchers prowling the evening streets to deny parents the right to a family life, gruesome thugs free to torture any citizen who might try and engage in a free election. 1997 really was awful. It’s easy to mock our unfortunate new state religion, but even the most hardened human-rights sceptic will be heartened to read the US State Department’s annual report into human rights in Britain. America takes a different view on domestic affairs than the likes...

CNN is a seemingly endless fount of dumb ideas. Yesterday, we caught a CNN correspondent recommending that if Anas Al-Sharif was a Hamas terrorist, instead of killing him, the IDF should have asked Al Jazeera to fire him! Today, it was CNN contributor and former NPR host Lulu Garcia-Navarro's turn. Criticizing Trump's use of federal agents to supplement DC police, Garcia-Navarro said the real solution to "girl brawls" is to have "better social media policies and better money for schools."So, limit teens to 15 minutes a day on TikTok, perhaps? Yup, that'll bring girl brawls and other crime by the...

Attorneys for First Lady Melania Trump threatened Hunter Biden with a $1 billion defamation lawsuit if he doesn’t retract his statements linking her to Jeffrey Epstein. Hunter Biden falsely claimed Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. During an interview with Channel 5 host Andrew Callaghan earlier this month, Hunter Biden claimed, “Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, and that’s how Melania and the first lady and the President met.” Melania met Trump at a Fashion Week party in New York City in 1998. Fox News reported:

Brennan is in big trouble. He must know it. Roger Stone reports overnight that Brennan has fled the country. Sources she tell me that admitted communist, Islamic convert and traitor John Brennan has fled the country and is hiding out in Austria, where MSNBC has built a makeshift studio for him to make it appear that he is in the United States. Brennan has no intention of returning to the country and can be considered to be on the lam.

Tucker Carlson recently sat down with Mother Agapia, the “Nun from Palestine” and sister of ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, to talk about Christian persecution in the Holy Land. But as the interview unfolds, it actually reveals a completely different — and much darker — reality about life for Christians in “Palestine,” Judea, and Samaria.

Harvard University students can learn about the “political mastermind” of Stacey Abrams this semester in a class that explicitly says it is taught through a critical race theory lens. “From First Lady Michelle Obama to political mastermind Stacy Abrams to Vice President Kamala Harris, Black women have left their stamp on 21st-century politics and grassroots organizing,” the course description for “Race, Gender, and Law through the Archive” says. Abrams is a former Democratic state representative who lost the 2018 and 2022 gubernatorial elections in Georgia. As noted by the Washington Free Beacon, she claims the 2018 election was “rigged” and...

Today the leaders from Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Poland, Finland, the E.U. and NATO will be holding a conference call with President Trump and Vice-President Vance to give instructions in advance of the Trump-Putin summit.None of the European leaders were invited to the Alaska summit, yet all of the European leaders want to tell President Trump what to do at the summit with President Vladimir Putin. Because, of course they do…EUROPE – […] The Europeans recognize that they can only do so much to influence a president who often veers off-script and likes nothing more than to declare a deal.But...

While the U.S. F-35 and F-22 may be qualitatively superior, China’s ability to mass-produce its J-20 stealth fighter presents a grave quantitative threat. China’s “offset strategy with Chinese characteristics” focuses on overwhelming the limited number of American fifth-generation jets with a massive fleet of J-20s.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The bloody years-long conflict between Ukraine and Russia was finally brought to an end this week, as President Donald Trump successfully negotiated a ceasefire between the countries by agreeing to give Vladimir Putin California. The deal was struck after several months of stop-and-start negotiations between the two sides mediated by Trump, with Russia finally agreeing to bring the hostilities to an end after being gifted the entire state of California as a substitute for the territory it coveted from Ukraine. "It's a great deal for every party involved," Trump told reporters when announcing the agreement. "I told...

Mayor Brandon Johnson has an important public service announcement: VIDEO AT LINK...................... https://x.com/i/status/1955680709580038199 He's a genius! This takes real skill:

Last month, a Republican Congress and President Trump achieved, if that is the word, a massive budget-reconciliation bill. As is more and more common, a Congress averse to accountability for particular votes crammed the measure full of many agenda items that the majority and the president wanted but chose to vote up or down on them as a package. Several provisions are relevant to American higher education. They involve the student-loan program, in which the federal government provides both subsidized and unsubsidized loans to both graduate and undergraduate students. Federal grants to needy students, e.g. Pell grants, are only modestly...

Randi Weingarten just promoted her new book calling those on the side of parents "Fascists." She's wearing a shirt that says "Protect Our Kids." She thinks she owns your kids. Wake up, parents. Dismantle the teachers unions.

BREAKING: We have received reports—and video evidence—of two potential New World Screwworm (NWS) infestations in U.S. cattle: one in Texas, one in Oklahoma. We have chosen not to share the videos, because the last time we did, locked us out of our account for 4 weeks. Reports conflict on whether these cases tested positive or negative for NWS. We sincerely hope they are negative, but we are seeking clarification from the USDA. We call on @USDA_APHIS to immediately release the results of all recent NWS tests, as it is a requirement that all potential NWS specimens go to National Veterinary...

VIDEOPerennial LOSING candidate Robert Francis (who calls himself "Beto" for political reasons) O'Rourke continues his LOSING streak. Not content with being a LOSING punk rocker dressed like a lamb in white tights, O'Rourke went on to become a three time election LOSER in the past few years. His latest shtick is remaking himself as a leader of the resistance to redistricting in Texas by paying for the Democrat legislators of that state to split to highly Gerrymandered Illinois. Unfortunately for poor Beto this latest effort is also LOSING since those legislators are now reported to be returning to Texas where...

With muslim families having nearly three times as many children as native Austrians, the country's demographic composition is changing rapidly.. New figures show that women from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq living in Austria have an average birth rate almost three times higher than that of Austrian-born women, according to data from the country’s Statistical Yearbook on Migration and Integration. The report finds that Austrian-born women have an average of 1.22 children. Among women not born in Austria, the figure rises to 1.57. However, the figure among some countries of origin rises significantly. Those born in the former Yugoslavia average 1.94...

Russia’s production of its most advanced tank, the T-90M “Breakthrough,” has fallen off dramatically in 2025, casting serious doubt on claims of a manufacturing surge. After upgrading its existing fleet of older T-90As, the main tank factory, UralVagonZavod, has struggled to produce new builds. This production crisis is compounded by reports of poor quality, including bad welds, and deep-seated company issues like lawsuits for unpaid bills, low wages, and corruption.

...The Texas House of Representatives has filed arrest warrants for 56 Texas Democrat lawmakers currently hiding in Illinois and California. They left the state to prevent voting on a redistricting plan during a special session. Each of the lawsuits asks courts in Democrat-controlled California and Illinois to domesticate warrants under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution, enabling the absent lawmakers to be detained and returned to Texas.... /
