There is no element of their thin-gruel story [SEE HERE] that is believable. Here’s why…President Trump is known for remembering betrayal; he doesn’t always burn the bridge, but he never recrosses it.Nikki Haley in February 2021: …”“I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he...

A Louisiana grandmother who went to the hospital with a headache claimed she cannot remember her memories from the past 30 years, believing she was a teenager in the 1980s when she woke up in a wild extensive amnesia case. Kim Denicola was 56 years old when she developed an intense headache and blurry vision while at a bible study group in Baton Rogue, La. in Oct. 2018. When she awoke in the hospital emergency room, Denicola had no recollection that she was married and had two children. “I’ve lost a lot of Christmases, so it’s a big deal,” Denicola,...

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was disappointed when other GOP candidates chose not to follow his decision to pull their names from the Colorado primary ballot in solidarity with former President Trump, but said the gesture is his way of "lead[ing] by example." "It's an unconstitutional and flagrant violation of the way we conduct elections in this country. This is not the way we do things in the United States of America. We the people are the ones who select our leaders, not unelected cabals of Democrat judges and back office," Ramaswamy told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo of the Colorado...

Gov. Gavin Newsom critized fellow Democrats for considering blocking former president Donald Trump from California's 2024 presidential primary ballot, saying that, "we defeat candidates at the polls." "There is no doubt that Donald Trump is a threat to our liberties and even to our democracy," Newsom said in a statement. "But in California, we defeat candidates at the polls." "Everything else is a political distraction," Newsom said. The effort to boot Trump off the ballot has been gaining momentum after Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis sent a letter to California Secretary of State, Dr. Shirley Weber, and urged her to "explore"...

A Southern California pot farmer is suing Riverside County for what he characterizes as an illegal law enforcement raid on his property. The farmer, Preston McCormick, is alleging that deputies with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office ransacked his business and left 75 pizza boxes behind following the operation last year. In his suit filed Friday against several individuals and public entities — including the County of Riverside and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department — in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Preston is claiming $10 million in losses and damages.

Outgoing Democratic Governor of Louisiana, John Bel Edwards, has granted pardons to 56 inmates, including 40 convicted murderers, since October this year. Despite Edwards’ attempts to address the state’s notorious incarceration rate, critics argue that his latest clemency decisions may have gone a step too far. Critics argue that releasing individuals convicted of serious crimes poses a risk to public safety and undermines the justice system. The anti-prison governor has been at the helm of criminal justice reforms in Louisiana with the aim of shedding the state’s label as “the world’s prison capital.” During Edwards’ tenure, Louisiana has faced scrutiny...

A professor at the University of Minnesota (UMN) has sparked backlash online over her comments at a recent teach-in regarding the Israel-Hamas war, during which she said that the "goal" is to "dismantle the settler project that is the United States." The professor, Dr. Melanie Yazzie, was speaking at a panel event hosted by The Red Nation, a Native American advocacy group "dedicated to the liberation of Native peoples from capitalism and colonialism," according to the group's website. Yazzie is a professor of American Indian Studies at UMN and co-founder of The Red Nation. Several American universities have been caught...

Since the start of 2023, Republicans have been investigating Joe Biden over his alleged connections to his son Hunter's extremely lucrative multi-million dollar influence peddling scheme spanning decades. In December, Republicans voted to formalize their ongoing impeachment inquiry because they believe it will force the administration to turn over documents and provide witness testimony after months of stonewalling. They are working toward building up enough evidence to show Joe was involved in Hunter's dealings in order to hold a formal impeachment vote in the House in 2024. GOP investigators are also examining how the Biden Justice Department has allegedly slow...

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Saturday Show,” Biden 2024 Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that “Joe Biden’s campaign is suffering, not because…the media have it wrong, I just think that it’s a bit incomplete with its reporting.” And said that no one is reporting that President Joe Biden got most of his student loan plan through despite the full plan being struck down by the Supreme Court.

There have been at least 19 separate instances in which airplanes nearly smashed into one another in the first 10 months of the year, according to a shocking report. The staggering number of near-misses between January and October marks a dramatic increase in narrowly averted airline crashes — the most since 2016, according to Federal Aviation Administration data viewed by the Wall Street Journal. The total number for the year is not yet known, but is expected to continue to climb.

A kosher Upper East Side cafe was subjected to a second antisemitic attack in four days — and the outraged owner is challenging the city to do something about it. Hummus Kitchen on Second Avenue was targeted Sunday night by an unhinged woman who tried to cover up an Israel/US flag, pushed an employee, and stormed off after giving staff the middle finger, according to police and disturbing videos shared on social media. The Sunday strike comes on the heels of a Dec. 13 incident in which a Paterson, NJ woman tried to tear down the restaurant’s flag in an...

Halfway down a Bushwick side street, in the back of an artisanal doughnut shop and through a photobooth, this rhino-themed restaurant has quietly been slinging drinks and bites since October. Ra-Ra Rhino, the latest addition to the city’s hidden watering hole scene, offers a sleek, Tiki-influenced back room with an eccentric menu of drinks and eats, as well as a smoke-blowing rhino head. The inspiration for the new speakeasy came when bar owner Michael Lombardozzi was searching for a doughnut shop in Bushwick during the coronavirus pandemic. “I discovered there aren’t any,” Lombardozzi said. So he decided to open Ra-Ra...

Today marks the beginning of the largest battle that America n soldiers ever fought in, as well as, writes Antony Beevor, the greatest battle of World War II in western Europe. When I was a kid in Brussels, my elderly teacher was from the town of Bastogne, and had lived as a little girl through the encirclement of the town during the freezing Christmas with the troops of General "Nuts!" McAuliffe to whom the inhabitants handed out their sheets to serve as winter camouflage. Madame Cop loved my mother and often invited my parents to her home for dinner and...

At the Washington Free Beacon, Andrew Tobin is tracking down former Israeli peaceniks in order to convey a sense of the impact of the Hamas massacres of 10/7 on them. Today he introduces us to Natali Yohanan, “a 38-year-old mother of two, who never locked the doors of her house in Nir Oz, a kibbutz near Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip. There wasn’t even a key.” And then: “On Oct. 7, a Gazan woman walked through Yohanan’s unlocked front door and made herself at home for hours, eating, singing, and watching Netflix. Sometimes, the woman served drinks to armed...

As you may recall, on January 6th 2021, I was on air with Tucker as the alleged "storming of the Capitol" was drawing to a close. It was not yet over, but the media had already agreed the Official Narrative - that it was a shameful violation of the most hallowed precincts of "the Citadel of Democracy". I got sick of that shtick almost instantly:Mark Steyn rips media's 'citadel of democracy' framing of Capitol: 'It's a citadel of crap'Ah, but I was wrong. It turns out it's a Citadel of Shags. Headline from The Daily Caller:EXCLUSIVE: Senate Staffer Caught Filming...

Are we fighting in Ukraine in order to “queer the Donbass”? That phrase, which I believe originated with TAC’s editor-at-large Rod Dreher, implies that the ideological package that NATO rallied to Ukraine to defend includes not only freedom and democracy but also pride parades and drag queen story hour. That would, of course, be a ridiculous reason to fight a war. Many Americans don’t want to queer their own kids’ elementary school, much less an industrial Slavic province five thousand miles away. In August 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky pledged that his government would introduce legislation to create civil partnerships for...
