The US Secret Service has dubiously claimed to The Post that it has “no records” of visitors to Biden’s two Delaware residences and therefore cannot divulge that information in response to a FOIA request. Biden was at his residences in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach on about one-quarter of all days during his first year in office, but little is known about who stopped by for official meetings or less formal lobbying efforts — such as by members of his family and their associates. The Post sought more than one year of visitor log records, including for Biden’s first year in...

Due to the interest in Pelosi's trading after her NVDA, AAPL, and AMZN trades after releasing options, we show all her trades in one place. In the House and the Senate reports, we showed that both parties, no matter their allegiance, seem to be trading and often legislating to benefit their own positions. Pelosi.....or rather her spouse.....seems no different. Here are one year returns for Pelosi at the current date, in her stocks and options positions. So far, Pelosi's family has done very well trading over the last year. Her one year returns for her stocks is 45.59%, and her...

Speaker Pelosi and her Democrat colleagues were criticized after inviting the cast of Broadway's “Hamilton” to perform at a ceremony marking Jan. 6. “We’re privileged to have a contribution from one of the great creative talents of our time, Lin-Manuel Miranda,” Pelosi said by way of introduction. “May his beautiful words be an inspiration to us.” After Miranda spoke, several members of different tour casts launched into a version of “Dear Theodosia,” which is sung in the show by Aaron Burr to his infant daughter. Video of the virtual performance quickly spread across social media, with many criticizing it as...

Joe Biden is a drowning man grabbing hold of anything that remotely resembles a life raft. His attempt to use Jan. 6th as a savior for his misbegotten presidency reveals more about his party’s predicament than it does about the unsettling events a year ago. Sounding like a late-night TV pitchman selling cheap garden hoses promising two for the price of one, he began promoting his party’s bid to override state laws to federalize elections as the only logical response. When it comes to weaponizing Jan. 6th for partisan purposes, Dems don’t know any limitations. Indeed, sometimes it was hard...

Unlike stock analysts who must disclose if their firm underwrites stocks of companies that get coverage, there is...

The initial handling of allegations by actor Jussie Smollett who staged a fake attack in Chicago was a “major failure” by the local prosecutor’s office, according to a damning investigative report released Monday. The 60-page report by special prosecutor Dan Webb, who was appointed to review the case, detailed several instances when Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and others in her office made false statements in 2019 when they first prosecuted Smollett and then abruptly dropped the charges weeks later. Foxx lied about having cut off contact with Smollett’s younger sister, Jurnee Smollett, after learning the actor had become...
