A bombshell sworn declaration filed in federal court is raising new questions about the Biden-era COVID-19 vaccine mandate imposed on America’s military. According to TrialSite News, Army Lt. Col. Theresa Long, a retired Army flight surgeon now serving as senior medical military adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and reporting to War Secretary Pete Hegseth, filed a sworn declaration in Adirim v. U.S. Central Intelligence Agency et al., in the Eastern District of Virginia. Long told the court she has firsthand knowledge of more than 29 service-member deaths after COVID-19 vaccination and that she has been tasked with...

Democrats are so desperate to see President Trump out of office that a majority would be happy to see him overthrown in a military coup or die in his sleep, a jaw-dropping new poll has found. Nearly six in 10 (59%) of Democratic respondents said they would feel “very positive” or “somewhat positive” if they learned a junta had removed Trump and seized control of the American government, while 55% said they would feel the same if the president passed away peacefully, according to the survey from the Center for Strategic Politics. An even higher percentage said they would be...

America’s propaganda media have made an awful lot of noise in recent years fomenting worries about a super scary “Christian nationalist” takeover of America. Yet, for all their professed concerns about religion in the public square, many of these same actors seemingly have no problem with the apparent Islamization of one of Michigan’s most prominent cities. Last week, the American Freedom Law Center filed a lawsuit against the city of Dearborn, Michigan, on behalf of resident and Federalist Senior Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland. As described in an AFLC press release, the suit alleges that Dearborn officials “spent public funds...

Photo C-SPAN / YouTube. You should vote against socialism, open borders, and trans everything. But what are you voting for if you vote for Republicans? It’s late. The time for defining the choice is passing in a hurry. Election Day is coming, and some people have already voted. In several states, early voting began on September 18, and at least a few ballots are already in. But what are we voting for? This is where it gets awkward. The Senate race in Delaware is probably pretty meaningless, and there’s not much reason to believe that Chris Coons is losing sleep...

The third meeting of the Formula 1 Commission in 2026 took place today, September 21 at the offices of the FIA in London. The meeting was chaired by FIA Single-Seater Director Nikolas Tombazis and FOM President and CEO Stefano Domenicali. The following is an overview of the key discussion points: 2026 Regulatory changes Minor changes to the 2026 Sporting and Financial Regulations were agreed. 2027 Regulatory changes In line with the refinements to the Power Unit regulations to be introduced in 2027 on fuel flow, a reduction in the total race distance from 305km (190 miles) to 290km (180 miles)...

Just weeks out from the November midterm elections, a socialist insurgency appears to be taking the Democrat Party by storm. But instead of honestly reporting on this shocking and newsworthy development, the liberal media is instead criticizing Republicans for noticing it. That was the upshot of a New York Times story earlier this month titled “Seeking Jolt, G.O.P. Turns to a New Red Scare.” (Perhaps because of backlash, the Times changed the headline on the online version of the article). The piece cites the warnings of numerous prominent Republicans, such as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and No. 2 House...

A Mississippi grand jury has decided not to indict in the unusual death of teen Nolan Wells, who vanished during a large Fourth of July party The 18-year-old’s death after going to Horn Island attracted national attention and his parents worried race could be a factor The state’s medical examiner and an outside expert said they believed “the cause and manner of Mr. Wells’ death is undetermined and that drowning is a diagnosis of exclusion” ================================================================= No one will be charged in the unusual death of Mississippi teen Nolan Wells, who vanished from a large Fourth of July party and...

As the Trump administration steps up immigration enforcement actions, some Democrat-run localities are now simply giving cash payments to illegal aliens and their families – all funded by American taxpayers. This shocking new development has become just the latest example of liberal politicians putting illegal aliens who have no right to be in the country ahead of American citizens. In the most recent example, during a special September 2 meeting, the Arlington County Board in Arlington, Virginia, voted 4-0 to set aside $50,000 in taxpayer funds for families in which the primary wage earner has been detained by Immigration and...

Senate Republicans are clashing over a proposal endorsed by Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and other farm-state Republicans to embargo the export of diesel to increase supply and lower prices at home, something U.S. leaders last implemented during the 1970s energy crisis. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is open to the idea, but oil-state Republicans have slammed the proposal as a “gimmick.” The soaring cost of diesel is putting political pressure on Republicans in farm states such as Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, where Democrats now have a chance to win Senate seats that weren’t viewed as competitive a year ago....

President Donald Trump was highly complimentary of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) when speaking to the press outside Gracie Mansion on Monday. The feed was provided by Spectrum News NY1 and taken by CNN in the midst of the White House press pool pushing back on Trump’s ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. In his remarks, Mamdani said the two discussed, “how we can make it easier to afford life in this great city that we call our home.” Trump called Gracie Mansion “a special place,” adding, “I’ve seen it with numerous different mayors. And I said some...

The Romans may have loved their pets just as much as we do, yet with no internet on which to upload photos of their furry companions, the ancients had to make do with mosaic portraits of their beloved animals laid into their villa floors. An extraordinary example of one such pet-themed artwork has recently been discovered in what was an affluent household in Adramytteion, located beneath the modern settlement of Ören in Türkiye. Dated to the late second or early third century CE, the Roman-era residence consists of three mosaic-paved halls set around a central atrium. Within the north hall...

As you might have expected from a Democratic senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy has come through for the American people. He has a plan to solve every last problem the country has by abrogating free speech and taking control of social media. At least that’s what he says in his book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Just look at that title. Half the buzzwords ever spoken, right there. “Crisis” – everything is a crisis to the Murphys of the world. “Common good” – as far as I’ve ever been able...

Energy groups are pushing Gov. Kathy Hochul to restart Indian Point’s dormant nuclear reactors as part of a new ad blitz for “Climate Week.” The Democratic governor’s face will appear on a billboard on a truck alongside the message “open up Indian Point, or the heat goes out and the light goes out.” Westchester County’s Indian Point was closed in 2021 under former Gov. Andrew Cuomo after years of pressure from anti-nuke activists and politicians who worried that its location just 40 miles out of Midtown would mean disaster in the case of a meltdown. But Hochul is leading an...

A Georgia city’s youngest-ever mayor lashed out at officials as he broke his silence after being ousted from his role in light of the sexting and spending scandals that had recently engulfed him. Jayden Williams – who served as mayor of Stockbridge for 10 months before being impeached — was removed from office earlier this month after being found to have sent suggestive messages to an 18-year-old male high school student on his mentoring scheme as well as spending $4,000 on a city credit card. Some of the expenses Williams, 23, racked up included a $200 purchase at an Academy...

After the lockdowns, what did the government teach me about government power? COVID changed the way I hear the word “temporary.” Before 2020, 'temporary' was temporary. Something happened, you dealt with it, and eventually you went back to living your life. Then came COVID. Most of us remember the rest. The empty streets. The closed businesses. The masks. The six-foot circles on the floor. Schools closed, churches restricted, nursing homes became nearly impossible to visit, and governments suddenly had an extraordinary amount to say about what ordinary Americans could and could not do. I don’t need to make a list...

The tomb in which Tutankhamun's mummy was discovered in 1922 may originally have been built for a different ruler, before being adapted to house the remains of the Boy King following his untimely death... in 2015 British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves proposed that she may be lurking in a concealed room beyond the walls of Tut's tomb... Previously, a number of experts -- including Howard Carter, who first uncovered KV 62 -- had noted that it seems rather small for a royal burial chamber. Reeves then pointed out that the structure is a "left-turning monument", and therefore conforms to the architectural...

WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance will make an announcement on Obamacare fraud Tuesday morning at the White House, The Post has learned — after launching crackdowns that restricted funding for other federal healthcare programs. Vance has focused heavily on alleged theft of taxpayer money in multibillion-dollar medical programs in his role as Trump’s fraud czar — generally coupling allegations with action to block the distribution of funds deemed at-risk for misappropriation. The announcement comes as the Trump administration turns up the heat on President Barack Obama’s namesake health insurance overhaul, with President Trump vowing earlier this month to “stop...

Has anyone else noted Islam creeping its way into crossword puzzles? I've seen this occurring with increasing frequency over the last few months. Today I saw 3 clues in 3 puzzles: "Religion with five pillars (Islam)"; "Mosque prayer leader" (Imam); and "Muslim feast" (Eid).
