Portland’s lame-duck Democratic district attorney is angling to reduce the sentences of several violent criminals, including a convicted murderer, days before his tough-on-crime replacement takes office. Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt, who was voted out of office on Election Day, petitioned an Oregon judge on Monday to reconsider the sentences of eight individuals – which could result in reduced charges and see the convicts freed from prison, according to Oregon Live. “These have all the appearance of a last-minute giveaway,” Multnomah County District Attorney-elect Nathan Vasquez, the Republican-turned-independent who defeated Schmidt, told the outlet. “They’re extremely violent individuals who...

First Lady Jill Biden should be charged with elder abuse. I came to that conclusion after watching President Biden’s hastily arranged late-night press conference that was meant to allay fears the Leader of the Free World was a senile invalid. Instead, the presser only confirmed our worst fears. President Biden does not have the cognitive skills necessary to be president of a nursing home community much less president of the United States. Click here to read Todd’s book on how to fight back against the godless heathen atheists. I blame the First Lady and the president’s family. They know that...

[Former first lady Jill Biden] very...

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has subpoenaed three key White House staffers who are allegedly shielding Joe Biden from media scrutiny and doing his job for him amid his cognitive difficulties. “I am issuing subpoenas today for White House staff Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, and Ashley Williams to appear for depositions,” Comer announced on X on Wednesday.

A senior Department of Justice official has suggested former first lady Jill Biden should face criminal charges for “elder abuse” for not revealing what she knew about her husband’s health problems. Leo Terrell, a senior counselor to the assistant attorney general for civil rights, made the call soon after news broke that former President Joe Biden had been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, which many suggested may have been hidden, like his cognitive decline. Terrell responded to an X post that said Jill Biden “knew about President Biden’s health problems” but “still wanted him to run for President.”

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.

Despite their age, the girls are...
