federal judge ruled Tuesday that former President Trump may not request to move his hush money criminal case to federal court after failing to show “good cause,” meaning the case will remain in New York state court. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said in a four-page order that the two reasons Trump offered as to why his case should be removed — that New York courts were biased against him and that his trial judge did not adequately review the issue of presidential immunity — fall short. Hellerstein said that district courts do not have jurisdiction to consider alleged bias...

In response to the recent claims that Crooks was part of a CIA MKUltra experiment, the CIA has issued a rare comment refuting the claims. A CIA spokesperson told Gizmodo, “These claims are utterly false, absurd, and damaging.” The spokesperson added, “The CIA had no relationship whatsoever with Thomas Crooks.

Joe Biden is said to be in 'denial' about having to withdraw from the presidential election following his dismal debate performance last week, as some of his campaign donors become ever more worried about his mental acuity. The 81-year-old commander-in-chief has insisted he is staying in the race amid calls from members of his own party to step aside and hand the reins over to a younger Democrat. But even those who are publicly vouching for Biden have admitted in private that there is no path forward with him at the top of the ticket, according to the Washington Post....

President Joe Biden’s first televised interview since last week’s debate meltdown did little to stop the bleeding. Members of Congress and top Democratic operatives told POLITICO shortly after Biden’s sit down with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos aired that the president was more energetic and forceful than he was on stage during last week’s showdown with Donald Trump — but it likely won’t be enough to tame the panic. And many were shocked by the president’s blatant denial about his standing in the race, and his repeated dismissal of his party’s widespread concerns. It’s an approach some Democrats described as “dangerous.”...

George Stephanopoulos, former Bill Clinton adviser and the ultimate Democratic insider, held an intervention masquerading as an interview Friday night. Rather than ask tough questions about President Biden’s mental deficiencies and the message it sends to our allies and enemies, he begged in a dozen different ways: Do you really think you can beat Donald Trump? Are you fooling yourself about how sharp you are? Please Grampa Joe, hand over the car keys! “George George George Geroge,” Biden patronized with every question. Nothing about Biden’s demeanor or his answers was reassuring. He refused to have a cognitive test or even...

Doctors across the US are reporting an alarming health trend in the wake of the pandemic. Since about 2021, they are noticing rare and unusual cancers in patients who shouldn't fit the bill - many of them young and without family history of disease. Cancers that typically affect seniors in their 70s, and 80s are now striking people in their 40s, including bile duct and rare blood cancers. The pandemic forced people to isolate and put off preventative care measures that would screen for various types of cancers, out of fear of being infected. But doctors do not believe this...

French President Emmanuel Macron, in a private conversation, said that in the near future, the confrontation between Ukraine and russia could end in defeat for Kyiv. Politico reported this, citing unnamed participants in a conversation with Macron. The first interlocutor of the publication said that during a private conversation in the Elysee Palace, Macron considered a quick defeat of Ukraine possible. "Ukraine can fall very quickly," Macron allegedly said.

After visiting all 99 counties in Iowa and failing to win a single one, specifically because he visited all 99 counties in Iowa, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared the dark, unknown and mysterious forces of universe tried to stop him, “threw everything at him,” yet he alone stands victorious. Yeah, he actually said that. The DeSantis campaign put most of their resources into Iowa and gained a total of 23,000 votes (roughly 21%), quickly declaring victory in a tenuous 2nd place finish and proclaiming their victory ticket has been punched. The cognitive disconnect is exceptionally strong; but hey, everyone has...

Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is taking heat online for criticizing “election denial” after many accused him and other Democrats of doing just that for years. In an X post from Sunday, Jeffries declared that “election denial is a sickness that is poisoning our democracy”: Election denial is a sickness that is poisoning our democracy. — Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) January 7, 2024 A former lawyer from central Brooklyn, Jeffries is a self-described far-left Democrat who has long denied the outcomes of the 2016 election. According to the Republican National Committee’s research obtained by Breitbart News in 2022, he had...

@RepThomasMassie The FDA license for the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA shots should be revoked immediately. Evidence shows the licensure approval process was corrupted by politics and corporate lobbying.

The Kremlin on Tuesday denied a report that President Vladimir Putin was ill, and laughed off persistent rumours that he used body doubles to cover for him in public appearances. "Everything is fine with him, this is absolutely another fake," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked about an unsourced report by a Russian Telegram channel, picked up by some Western media, that the president had suffered a serious health episode on Sunday evening. The spokesman laughed in response to a further question about body doubles, and denied that Putin had any.

Ukrainian armoured vehicles have smashed through a gap in Russian defences on the Zaporizhzhia front, it has been reported. Eight-wheeled Stryker and tracked Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicles were seen behind Russian tank traps and dragon's teeth near Verbove - suggesting a potential Ukrainian tactical breakthrough in the area. Russia analyst for The Institute for the Study of War, George Barros, said the news could mean Kyiv was preparing for another big push.

In 1590, in Scotland, an elderly woman named Agnes Sampson was arrested. She was from East Lothian. Earlier in her life she had been a midwife and a healer, but lately she had been living in poverty. She was tried, found guilty and taken to Edinburgh Castle where, on 28 January 1591, she was strangled to death by rope and then burnt at the stake. Her offence? Climate change. RTWT - Long read but worth it

Currently, attention is primarily focused on the Zaporizhzhya section of the front, where tactical operations are unfolding, including combat reconnaissance, as they say. And in certain sectors of the front, the Ukrainian army has made progress.“I want to emphasize that this information is unofficial since the (Ukrainian military’s) General Staff is currently observing a pause and highlights the need to ‘maintain calm and informational silence.’ These different pieces of information come from various sources, including reputable ones like British intelligence and the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).“It can be said that we have had the most tactical success...

Even from the start of the mRNA vaccine rollout, a small number of physicians were sounding an alarm about the dangers of Operation Warp Speed and the safety protocols that the mRNA vaccine development bypassed. Near the end of year three of dealing with COVID-19, much more is known about the efficacy of the new mRNA vaccines and their safety profile. This post sums up the information and concerns that multiple physicians have offered, all leading to one conclusion: the vaccine program needs to be stopped due to both safety concerns and lack of efficacy. As the experimental vaccines were...

It has been three years since COVID-19 entered the scene. It probably emerged in the previous year based on COVID antibodies found in banked blood from the fall of 2019 and a severe non-influenza respiratory illness sweeping through ICUs in the early winter of 2019. In those days it was simply called the Chinese coronavirus, based on the reported origin but we still don’t know that for sure.In fact, much of what we have been told about COVID over the past three years has turned out to be “misinformation”, as government, corporate media, and big tech described everything that went...
