Former President Donald Trump lashed out at evangelicals for not supporting his latest presidential campaign, saying it was a “sign of disloyalty” after he appointed three conservative Supreme Court justices and made their long-held dream of overturning Roe v. Wade possible. Trump, 76, told Real America’s Voice’s “The Water Cooler” Monday that the religious bloc of voters who were key to his 2016 victory have not yet come out to back his 2024 White House bid. “That’s a sign of disloyalty,” Trump told host David Brody. “There’s great disloyalty in the world of politics, and that’s a sign of disloyalty.”

Calamity Joe faces a resentful media No more are they asking which flavor ice cream he prefers, as they did there at the beginning. “Mr. President…Mr. President…what do you like best, chocolate or vanilla?” That’s as far as it got for investigative reporting from America’s docile media. Joe had them at hello. Now is it goodbye? Before our eyes we are watching Joe and his presidency unraveling domino by domino as more questions are being asked about his neglect toward classified files …a serious breach. So serious that it could bring down his presidency…especially so with the Republican House on...

He doesn’t want to give her his bad name. Hunter Biden asked a judge to deny his 4-year-old daughter from taking his surname — claiming it’s a lightning rod for criticism and would rob the child of a “peaceful existence.” The first son’s request on Jan. 6 came amid an ongoing paternity case against him in Independence, Ark., where Biden is fighting to lower his child-support payments to baby mama Lunden Roberts for their love child, Navy Joan Roberts. Roberts, 31, asked Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer on Dec. 27 to allow their daughter to take the Biden name, claiming...

United States President Joe Biden’s attornies have found more classified documents at his Wilmington, Delaware home than previously known, the White House acknowledged Saturday, according to AP.

The apparent mishandling...

The special counsel created by Biden’s corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland is the right thing to do by the wrong gang of criminals. Kash Patel joined Steve Bannon on the War Room and he laid it all on the table. He shared: A special counsel on paper is the right move and it would have been back in November but the problem is we’ve seen the corrupt government gangsters go out and cover up the corrupt activities. Namely the likes of Rod Rosenstein, Chris Wray and Merrick Garland. ... Remember Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller, Comey’s best friend to be Special...

A top House Republican announced legislation Thursday to stop the District of Columbia from allowing immigrants — including some in the country illegally — to cast ballots in local elections. Rep. James Comer, Kentucky Republican and chair of the House Oversight Committee, called the proposal by the D.C.

A seasoned prosecutor who served in the Trump administration will act as special counsel to look into President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents. Robert K Hur was appointed in 2018 by Mr Trump as the chief federal law enforcement officer in Maryland. He left that position when President Trump left office in 2021. The US Department of Justice appoints special counsels when an investigation poses potential conflicts of interest. On Thursday, US Attorney General Merrick Garland said it was "in the public interest" to appoint a special counsel to oversee the inquiry into Mr Biden.

The Washington Post issued a correction after conservative activist Chris Rufo slammed the paper for publishing what he called "flat-out lies" in an article about how Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) appointed him and five other people to the New College of Florida Board of Trustees. Rufo, a Manhattan Institute fellow, said Post reporter Valerie Strauss included "distortions, inaccuracies, and flat-out lies" in her article Saturday titled, "DeSantis moves to turn a progressive Fla. college into a conservative one."

Joe Biden is in Mexico meeting with the President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He delivered some remarks with the two other leaders on Tuesday. I reported earlier on what Biden said about the classified documents in his office at the Penn Biden Center. But he also made remarks about illegal immigration and the problem at our Southern border. First, AMLO gave him a left-handed compliment, but I’m not sure that Biden is bright enough to pick up on what the Mexican President was truly saying. ... “You, President Biden, you are the...

Facebook ultimately refused multiple calls to delete the video, despite one White House official insinuating that the company’s intransigence was responsible for the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots, according to the documents.. “Throughout our case, we have uncovered disturbing collusion between Big Tech and Big Government,” Attorney General Landry told the DCNF. “Today’s reveal is yet another example of the ongoing coercive efforts by...

The White House chief of staff is claiming a victory for Joe Biden on inflation, but many on social media lashed out at him over the continued high prices they're paying. Ron Klain complained on Twitter that the media was not covering new statistics about inflation as much as it did when inflation was at a 40-year high. "When inflation was at 40-year highs, there was no shortage of coverage. But now," he tweeted and pointed to a report that inflation over the last half 2022 had decreased to 2% after climbing to a rate above 7%. While Klain was...

When the federal government moved down to Washington, D.C., in 1800, lawmakers grumbled about leaving behind Philadelphia's plentiful accommodations for the new capital's limited housing stock of boarding houses and taverns. Thus was established a tradition of politicians complaining about finding housing in D.C., which continues to this day. Amongst the incoming 118th Congress are several freshmen progressive representatives who say that having to spend their $174,000 congressional salary on housing in the District is not just difficult but a deliberate effort to exclude them from the government. "For those of us who are working-class, this is yet another reminder...

When the House Jan. 6 committee released hundreds of documents from its investigation online at the end of the year, it inadvertently made public nearly 2,000 Social Security numbers belonging to high-profile individuals who visited the White House in December 2020, according to a report.
