    "Though it is known as an e-commerce platform, Temu is functionally malware and spyware," Attorney General Tim Griffin said in a statement. Griffin referred to Temu as a "data theft" business in a press release put out recently. "Today I have filed a first-of-its-kind state lawsuit against the parent companies of Temu—PDD Holdings Inc. and WhaleCo Inc.—for violating the ADTPA and PIPA," Griffin said in a statement. "Though it is known as an e-commerce platform, Temu is functionally malware and spyware."

    WASHINGTON D.C. — Reports from high-level sources in Washington indicate Vice President Kamala Harris is just about to unburden herself from what has been. "I'm out here on these streets, getting ready to unburden myself -- you know what I mean? HAHA!" said Harris. "I'm starting to see what can be, not what has been, right girl! HAHAHA!!!" After years of repeatedly envisioning what can be, unburdened from what has been, Harris reportedly feels like her vision is about to come to fruition. "I watched the debate last week, and I immediately started to feel like maybe, just maybe, what...

    This is not a topic, I like to discuss, but perhaps by raising it here, it will, with hope, re-energize the people responsible for Trump's safety to be vigil. In the past, Trump rallies were in obscure locales, airports and other easy to secure places, but more and more Trump exposes himself to rallies that are growing bigger and bigger in large venues. The left has always maintained that the end justifies the means, assassinating Trump would be a simple solution. They have no conscience on the killing of innocent life in the late third trimester, why would killing Trump...

    Remember that old political bit about the dangerous 3 a.m. call to the White House? We wanted our presidents to be strong, alert and vigilant. We want them sharp. We don’t want them to be chumbolones or dim witted, slack-jawed meat puppets performing at the direction of puppet master political bosses. It was important to all of us that we elected leaders who could wake at 3 a.m., answer that phone and deal with whatever threat is out there to protect their people. Put your partisan politics aside and think of your nation. Was it President Joe Biden who showed...
  • A tick that causes meat allergies is on the prowl

    Hundreds of thousands of Americans may be infected with a tick-born illness that causes an allergy to meat without knowing it, according to the Centers for Disease Control Prevention. Alpha-Gal syndrome, or AGS, is caused by the bite of a lone star tick, which can be identified by a white dot on its back. The saliva of the tick will cause those who have been infected to have a reaction to red meat, including pork and lamb. They may also have reactions to gelatin or dairy products. This illness can also infect all mammals, not just humans. Symptoms of the...

I’m not talking about ads for Democrats in general. These ads are praising Joe Biden, and only Joe Biden. I have not seen anything like this before today.

    That's right, I said it, and I've been saying it for a while. Look, I know we all have our opinions on this, but here are some facts: 1. Trump CANNOT be allowed to win in '24. Considering that the anti-American leftist marxist democrats have opened the door to indicting their political foes, it's probably even more important that Trump loses than in 2020. 2. The 2020 election was NOT the "most secure election ever". The tactics used by the left in 2020 only worked because it was seemingly plausible, to the general voting public, that Trump would lose, what...
  • Dolly Parton scheme giving children free books attacked as ‘white saviourism’

    Dolly Parton has been accused of “white saviourism” for giving millions of free books to poor children. The reading scheme, called Imagination Library, was launched by the country and western star in the US more than three decades ago. It now operates in the UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia, and has been lauded for helping to drive up literacy rates. It gives disadvantaged pupils the same access to books as their middle-class peers by sending high-quality titles directly to the homes of under-fives. But according to a recently published academic paper, the award-winning scheme is racist by reinforcing notions...

    Vladimir Putin is ready to share sovereignty of Crimea with Ukraine, according to an astonishing 'new peace plan'. The dictator sent his trusted interior minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev to the US with new proposals to end the war that the dictator started, say sources in both Moscow and Kyiv. Despite being sanctioned, Kolokoltsev was allowed into the US ostensibly to attend a UN meeting of police chiefs. But this was a ruse allowing him to travel to Washington on a VIP plane from Putin's presidential fleet to transmit to the US government the dictator's real demands for a peace deal, it...

    President Joe Biden's debate performance last week shocked the journalists and other Democratic supporters who had pretended not to notice his significant cognitive decline. Anxious donors attempted to reach out to Dr. Jill Biden, Ed.D., widely regarded as her husband's top political adviser, in an effort to persuade the president to drop out. FreeBeacon These anxious Democrats got their answer on Monday, when Vogue magazine unveiled the cover of its August issue: Jill Biden posing defiantly in a Ralph Lauren dress and Irene Neuwirth earrings.

    President Joe Biden will have lunch with Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday as he faces growing pressure to drop out of the 2024 race following his disastrous debate performance last week. The 81-year-old Democratic president has signaled that he has no intention of stepping aside, despite his weak debate performance against Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, on Thursday. Biden's poor showing sparked an immediate panic among Democrats and further highlighted concerns about his age and capacity to lead the country for another four years. Harris is among the top contenders being floated to replace Biden at the top...
