It's said that when someone makes a positive or neutral statement, then follows it with a "but," what follows negates what went before, and reflects the speaker's real opinion. Thus it was that on Sunday's edition of CNN's State of the Union, host Jake Tapper three times mentioned that Russian attacks killed five Ukrainians after President Trump's meeting with Putin ended without a ceasefire. In his final mention, Tapper said to Mike Pence: "I'm not blaming it on President Trump,it's obviously President Putin's fault. But, if the ceasefire had happened on Friday, those five Ukrainians would be alive."Gotcha, Jake. You're...

Former FBI Director James Comey once again trashed President Trump in a 5-minute rant posted to his Substack. Comey said pop singer Taylor Swift, who appeals to tweens and juvenile women in their 30s, helps him deal with President Trump. This is the same guy who once ran the most premiere law enforcement agency in the US. Full Comey transcript:

California Democrats Luis Alejo, Norma Torres, Roger Hernández, Nancy Skinner, Ricardo Lara, and Jerry Brown helped illegal alien Harjinder Singh to get a driver’s license before he made an illegal U-turn and killed 3 innocent people in Florida. Those were the elected officials in California who introduced, sponsored, and signed Assembly Bill 60, which was inaccurately named the “Safe and Responsible Driver Act,” and which gave a driver’s license to illegal alien Harjinder Singh, who later made an illegal U-turn in Florida, and killed 3 innocent people in another vehicle.Here’s video of the incident:https://x.com/Anc_Aesthetics/status/1956975173980016836

Rinse and Repeat: Another Gaza Famine Lie Goes Viral. Another Image that Lied On 23 July, the tragic _a href="https://x.com/Daily_Express/status/1947965041438761437">image of Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq shook the world. Headlines told a story of a boy being forcibly starved in a Gaza famine. My research quickly exposed that story as a lie. Muhammad had cerebral palsy, had been sick since birth, and his siblings were healthy. Barely a week later, legacy media played the same trick again – this time with a young girl called Maryam. We are told Maryam was evidence of Gaza’s ‘catastrophic hunger crisis’: Embarrassingly, the quoted doctors...

Streamed 5 hours ago. At least two shooters on Franklin Avenue in Brooklyn. 11 shot, 3 dead, 37 shots. Tousi says Crown Heights, but sounds more like Park Slope to me. On the border. Mandani said nothing, apparently, even though his mouth moved and noises came out of his face, saying nothing (Tousi [haha] here). No info about suspects. Transcript attached below video.

BREAKING: EUROPE’S FUTURE IS VANISHING These are CRAZY stats. Brussels is now 52% Muslim schoolchildren. Amsterdam 43%. Vienna 41%. London 37%. Half of Europe’s capitals have 30%+ Muslim pupils - the shift is exploding in classrooms. Europe’s identity is collapsing.

Resident Cloud Elvengrail filed a complaint that "the 24-hour Antifa occupation outside the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland is disturbing the peace. Every day for months I've had to endure around the clock loud and shrill noises. It's pure torture. I want the police to enforce the City's anti-noise codes." Elvengrail also complained of harassment and and intimidation. Other witnesses from the neighborhood corroborated her testimony, saying they "didn't feel safe." Video evidence of assaults on federal agents, members of the media and residents, as well as arson attacks on the ICE facility were also...

VIDEOMichael Smerconish has come to the very SAD realization that exactly TWO-THIRDS of his viewers suffer from extreme TDS. That is to be expected when you have a show on CNN. So how does it feel, Michael, to know that TWO-THIRDS of the people watching you on CNN are JUST PLAIN NUTS

Rolene Marks ✡️🎗️🇮🇱 @RoleMarks: THIS!! Tucker Qatarlson has to bring in charlatans because interviewing someone like @shadikhalloul does not fit his narrative of demonising Israel. Quote: Shadi khalloul שאדי ח'לול @shadikhalloul · Aug 12, 2026. Tucker, I am an indigenous Christian living in Israel. The woman you interviewed is not.

"When they go low, we're going to bury them below the Capitol. That's what we're going to do, because this is about protecting democracy," Swalwell tells me on California's redistricting efforts.

World renowned CV19 critical care and pulmonary expert Dr. Pierre Kory was one of the first to call for Ivermectin (IVM) and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to treat Covid in the early days of the pandemic. Instead, Big Pharma, the CDC and FDA trashed the effective and safe drugs to push a CV19 vaccine. That was the first big Covid lie. Dr. Kory was worried about the “Calamitous Suppression of Early CV19 Treatment.” Nearly a million Americans died for lack of treatment. The second big lie was the CV19 vaccines. We were told they were “safe and effective,” and they turned out...

democrats are a mess. A tawdry, discombobulated mess. They are flailing about trying to find something they can stick to Trump, but nothing is. The Epstein filesNo one really cares about this anymore, but that's not stopping the democrats. Two different judges have refused to allow the release of the files (one was an Obama-appointed judge) but they persist in asking for something that is not allowed, and they know it. Kristi Noemdemocrats are seeking to get Kristi Noem killed. They have twice doxxed her home address and then wonder why she's staying in quarters normally occupied by an Admiral...

Sometimes you can’t help but marvel at how much we’re all willing to pay for the illusion of “green progress.” New Jersey decided—like half the country—that climate purity would be achieved by wind turbines, solar panels, and endless press conferences declaring victory against bad old fossil fuels. But someone forgot to run the numbers, and now the bill arrives, with a little note attached: “Due immediately. No refunds. See: your monthly utility statement.” Let’s start with the latest funhouse mirror: PJM’s capacity auction. You’ll see the acronym “PJM” all over any story about electricity markets, grid drama, and ratepayer headaches...

Since January, Tucker Carlson has been funded by Qatar and has become an opponent of Trump. The journalist is part of an Arab influence strategy over North American media. 18/06/2025 by Editorial Team. Since the beginning of this year, American journalist Tucker Carlson, an icon of media conservatism, has started generating controversy due to a notable "ideological shift." According to various investigations, this is because Carlson is part of a Qatar influence strategy over American media. Official documents submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) reveal Qatar's growing influence in strategic sectors of...

The BRICS economic partnership was formed during the Obama administration. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) watched U.S. President Obama subcontract U.S. trade policy to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street.In the aftermath of the 2007 economic crisis, created by Congress and banking interests, the BRICS group identified two central points of ‘western’ financial influence that concerned them.Following the financial crisis, the relationships around the World Bank (WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF), EU central banks and various multinational institutions and multinational corporations, merged even closer with the government.The priorities of the Davos and World Economic Forum...
