An illegal immigrant is facing deportation after he was caught allegedly scamming an elderly woman in Hermon with an aggressive scheme involving numerous escalating demands and multiple visits to her house. The Penobscot County Sheriff’s Department received a report on February 3 that scammers repeatedly called an elderly Hermon woman, claiming that her bank account was compromised and demanding that she withdraw the funds. According to the department’s report, the alleged scammers initially attempted to sound professional before resorting to more aggressive demands. The alleged scammers successfully coerced the woman into handing over a large, undisclosed amount of money in...

Former Democratic donor-tuned-MAGA supporter Lindy Li dropped more details about Joe Biden and her former party’s shenanigans during the 2024 election. Li has been eager to spill all the things about the delusions that engulfed the Democrats, to the point where some thought they could win Iowa. Over $2 billion was raised and blown on Kamala Harris’ shambolic campaign for the White House. After some expenditures were made public, some megadonors warned they’d never write a check again. Ms. Li said that after Joe Biden’s disastrous CNN debate that June, Hunter Biden commandeered the White House and sat in on...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The next era of life in the United States promised to be a sobering one, as Americans learned today that an elderly dementia patient had been cruelly evicted from his own home. The news came early Monday morning and provided the country with an unsettling glimpse into how the incoming Trump administration will operate, as a man described as a devoted public servant for over a half-century and suffering in the advanced stages of cognitive decline had been informed that he was not only out of work but also being forced to leave his house. "Such a...

A map of President Bush's motorcade to Camp David was found last week in the possession of a teenager accused of stockpiling weapons and bomb-making materials, according to prosecutors. With the possibility that the motorcade was a target, federal authorities have joined police in investigating Collin Matthew McKenzie-Gude, 18, who allegedly was storing the weapons and materials just outside Washington, D.C., at the Bethesda, Md., home where he lives with his parents. MyFOXDC.com reports that Assistant State's Attorney Peter Feeney disclosed the discovery of the map of Camp David during a court hearing on Tuesday in Rockville, Md. The map...

On Wednesday, Joe Biden delivered an address from Camp David, condemning the recent terrorist attack in New Orleans and reaffirming the nation’s commitment to combating terrorism. But rather than uniting the country, the brief speech, riddled with slurred words and bizarre facial injuries, has only fueled speculation about Biden’s health and ability to lead. From a hangar at Camp David, Biden condemned the New Orleans attack, in which 15 lives were lost when a rented truck plowed into a Bourbon Street crowd. The attacker, identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was killed in a firefight with law enforcement. Explosives and an ISIS...

The woman killed after being set ablaze by an illegal alien on a New York City subway has finally been identified. The burn victim was identified as 61-year-old Debrina Kawam. Kawam was linked to an address in Toms River, New Jersey, but she was described as homeless. It took investigators more than a week to identify the victim using fingerprints because her burns were so severe. The New York Post reported: Cops have identified the woman who was lit on fire as she slept and then burned to death on a Brooklyn subway train while terrified straphangers watched in horror,...

The knives have come out — and so has the truth. Having been lied to for years by the Democratic Party machine and most of the mainstream media — who insisted Joe Biden was not diminished by his age but energized by it — well, it turns out we skeptics were right all along. And what we're learning is terrifying. Infuriating. An unacceptable abuse of power, a usurpation of the presidency itself by a nameless, faceless cohort. Will we ever know who these conspirators are? Two bombshell reports out this week, in the New York Times and the Wall Street...

WASHINGTON - A young teenager will spend the next seven years behind bars for her role in the beating death of a frail D.C. man on a street in Northwest last year. The 13-year-old was sentenced Wednesday. In court, she apologized before she was ordered held until her 21st birthday. All five girls involved in the beating death of 64-year-old Reggie Brown, a D.C. man who family says suffered from multiple disabilities and was battling to beat cancer, were between the ages of 12 and 15 when they committed the crime in October 2023. Despite their age, the girls are...

A mother and daughter are in custody for the alleged murder of a 71-year-old grandmother whose decomposing remains were sniffed out by police after she had been dismembered with a chainsaw and burned on a charcoal grill. Candace Craig, 44, is accused of killing her mother Margaret Craig and enlisting in the help of her 19-year-old daughter Salia Hardy to dispose of the body, according to Prince George's County police. Officers on Friday conducted a welfare check on the matriarch at the Landover, Maryland, and immediately smelled the odor of decomposition. They discovered 'what appeared to be brain matter' in...

A Maryland woman is set to be released from jail despite helping her mother dismember her grandmother's body with a chainsaw and grill the remains, after attorneys argued she was simply following her mother's orders. Salia Margaret Hardy, 21, has learning disabilities that made her more susceptible to coercion, her attorneys had argued in Prince George's County Circuit Court, to which Judge Karen Mason ultimately agreed, according to the Washington Post. She decided on Wednesday to let Hardy go free after she pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact and provided damning testimony against her own mother, Candace Craig, 46....

Gov. Andrew Cuomo allegedly himself “edited” a state report that deflated New York’s COVID-19 death toll in nursing homes — which his top aides pressured health officials into releasing, despite knowing the issue would turn into a “great debacle,” according to the stunning results of an investigation by a US House committee. Cuomo “absolutely” signed off on the disastrous directive early in the pandemic forcing coronavirus patients back into nursing homes — leading to as many as 9,000 excess COVID deaths — the final congressional report and witness testimonies exclusively obtained by The Post show. The House Select Subcommittee on...

CHICAGO (AP) — Jill Biden once said that she knew marrying Joe Biden — then a senator from Delaware — would mean "a life in the spotlight that I had never wanted.” On Monday night, now very accustomed to that spotlight, the first lady stood before the Democratic National Convention to do her part to highlight her husband's 50 years of public service as his presidency begins to draw to a close. Her words marked the beginning of an end for her, too. Before the president walked across the stage at the United Center to deliver the keynote speech on...

President Biden’s Cabinet members have been emphatic that the commander-in-chief is sharp and probative behind closed doors. However, the 81-year-old chief executive’s interactions with key members of his administration are actually pre-scripted and carefully choreographed — with aides going over questions and discussion points with Cabinet secretaries ahead of time. “The entire display is kind of an act,” one source told CNN of the closed-door get-togethers. “They would come and say, ‘Hey, the president is going to call on you about 25 minutes in and ask this question. What are the bullet points you’ll respond with?’”

All rise, and please honor The First Lady of the United States of America, DOCTOR Jill Biden! You may genuflect, bow, curtsy, or kneel in proper homage to the woman who holds no office but is married to the president of the United States of America. She is a person for whom you did not vote but to whom you must pay homage, respect, and, indeed, worship because she married Joey from Scranton. And, it must be added, she now runs the country alongside her crackhead stepson. Please remove your hats and remain standing. In 2022, Jill Biden raised her...

“Most of our caucus is still with him … meaning he’ll stay in,” a House Democrat told the outlet. “Which sucks for our country.” Another lawmaker told Axios that anti-Biden Democrats were “folding all over the place” and “becoming resigned to Biden holding all the cards here, and us having no real say in the matter.” “As someone who wanted the reckoning and is really disappointed that it’s over, trust me: It’s over,” the lawmaker said.

Michael Moore is blasting President Biden’s allies, accusing them of “elder abuse” for “pushing” the commander in chief to stay in the race against former President Trump. “The problem here is that I think there’s a form of elder abuse going on here, where the Democratic Party and the people that are part of the apparatus are pushing and pushing and pushing him to stay,” the “Fahrenheit 9/11” director told MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin in an interview Sunday. “In spite of my criticisms about Gaza with Biden, watching the debate a week ago was heartbreaking,” Moore said of the president’s performance...
