The Hur tapes expose what we knew all along: The Democrat cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline is the biggest scandal in U.S. political history. It might be a bigger scandal than we knew. We found out today that Joe Biden has an advanced form of prostate cancer, and it has spread to his bones. How long did people know he had cancer, and who knew? I am reposting two medical opinions because they open up an important question about how long everyone knew Biden had cancer. In 2022, Biden said he had cancer, and we thought it was just another...

MOSCOW (Reuters) -The founder of the Telegram messaging app said on Sunday he had refused a request by a Western government, which he did not name but appeared to imply was France, to silence conservative voices in Romania ahead of a presidential election run-off there.

It was a bad week for Democrats, who are already gearing up for a 2028 primary season that promises to be an even bigger shitshow than the last one. That's a really high bar, even for Democrats, but we're confident they can deliver the goods. The 2020 primary was so insane it rendered a widely heralded candidate, Kamala Harris, unelectable in the general election due to the ridiculous left-wing policies she embraced (on camera) to placate party activists. Even a competent candidate would have struggled to defend her enthusiastic support for taxpayer-funded sex-change operations for incarcerated illegal immigration. Egg prices...

- Ahmed Khalifan Ghailani, a/k/a "Foopie," is a diminutive Tanzanian with an Uzbeki wife, six children and a deep hatred of America and Western culture in general. A devout Muslim who plays a mean game of soccer but never learned to drive a car, Ghailani is also believed to be a key al Qaeda player who U.S. agents think is involved in a percolating terror plot aimed at disrupting America's upcoming elections. He had a $25 million price on his head as the FBI's No. 7 most-wanted terrorist - the same amount as the bounty for the capture of Osama...

For years, Democrats have decried Republicans as “election deniers,” even using the phrase to justify lawfare against then-former President Donald Trump. But as it turns out, when elections don’t go their way suddenly the process is flawed and democracy is negotiable. On Monday, the credentials committee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) voted to overturn the results of an election that led to 25-year-old David Hogg being selected as a party vice chair. (Hogg survived the 2018 Parkland School shooting.) But the DNC committee argued the election did not follow proper parliamentary procedures. The decision “will put the issue before...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that former President Joe Biden should have dropped out of the 2024 presidential race earlier so Democrats could have had a primary. Host Kristen Welker said, “Senator, would the party have had a better chance at winning in 2024 had President Biden dropped out sooner?” Klobuchar said, “You know, everything we look at in a rear-view mirror after you lose an election. Yes, we would have been served better by a primary, but we are where we are. We’re not on the History Channel right now, and I believe...

The Republican challenger in North Carolina’s Supreme Court race conceded to the Democrat incumbent this week after a federal judge issued a ruling on the disputed ballots. A federal judge earlier this week ordered North Carolina to certify Democrat Allison Riggs as the winner of the hotly contested Supreme Court race. Last month, the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled that most of the 65,000 questionable ballots must count in the hotly contested judicial race. The North Carolina Supreme Court race previously headed for a recount due to a close final tally as the Democrat pulled ahead two weeks after Election...

The Republican candidate for North Carolina’s state Supreme Court conceded the race Wednesday, ending his six-month crusade to overturn the election results in the perennial battleground state. “While I do not fully agree with the District Court’s analysis, I respect the court’s holding — just as I have respected every judicial tribunal that has heard this case,” Judge Jefferson Griffin said in a statement. “I will not appeal the court’s decision,” he added. Griffin’s concession to Democratic Justice Allison Riggs came two days after a judge appointed by Republican President Donald Trump rejected Griffin’s legal challenges to the election. The...

Grand Old Popey. Pope Leo XIV was an active voter who participated in several Republican primaries in recent years and voted in the most recent presidential election, according to a report. Then-Cardinal Robert Prevost, a Chicago native, pulled the lever in Republican primaries in 2012, 2014, and 2016, the Washington Free Beacon reported, citing election records. The Dolton, Illinois, born pontifex also voted in general elections in 2012, 2014, 2018, and 2024, the report stated.

The documents requested by Johnson and Grassley should provide the necessary transparency to understand which players at NARA were involved. ens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have launched an inquiry into the National Archives and Records Administration (“NARA”) after documents provided by a whistleblower revealed the archives’ role in the criminal targeting of Trump in the alternative electors case. This recent revelation means NARA stood at ground-zero for both of the special counsel’s criminal cases, with NARA also behind the classified document investigation. On Monday, Johnson and Grassley issued a press release announcing the opening of an inquiry...

The first sign of just how revolutionary President Trump’s second term would be actually came two years before his re-election. On June 6, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, delivering pro-life conservatives a victory decades in the making—but which, in the end, was only made possible by Donald Trump. Before Trump’s first term, Republican presidents had displayed a remarkable knack for preserving a pro-Roe majority on the Court: George H.W. Bush more than offset the conservative jurisprudence of Clarence Thomas by appointing Anthony Kennedy and David Souter. And while both of George W. Bush’s appointees voted to reverse...

U.S. President Donald Trump will sit down with newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney in Washington, DC, on Tuesday for the first meeting between the two since the Canadian’s election win. They’ll have a lot to talk about. The 60-year-old Liberal Party leader and former central bank governor pledged during the Canadian election campaign Trump would “never break” Canada, vowing Ottawa would look to forge new trading alliances with its southern neighbor even as he added the “special relationship” with the U.S. is “over.”

BOSTON — Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday will receive the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his refusal to go along with President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in office after losing the 2020 election... The award recognizes Pence “for putting his life and career on the line to ensure the constitutional transfer of presidential power on Jan. 6, 2021,” the JFK Library Foundation said, when it made the announcement last month. Pence will receive the award at the JFK Library in Boston.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is continuing his anti-Trump crusade, stoking 2024 election denial during an appearance on a far-left podcast. “The enemies allegedly stole U.S. data. The leak came through Elon Musk Starlink,” the host said, asking Swalwell to talk about election integrity in the upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028, given that — she says — people are concerned about the security of the 2024 presidential election. Immediately, Swalwell played into the fears, rattling on about Elon Musk and suggesting there was malfeasance on his part in the 2024 elections. “Elon Musk has done nothing in the last five...

Two Ukrainian women in South Florida on temporary visas were hit with federal charges after being accused of illegally voting in the last 2024 U.S. presidential election, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Svitlana Demydenko, 53, and her daughter, Yelyzaveta Demydenko, 22, purportedly handed in their 2024 presidential votes in Palm Beach, Florida, on October 31, 2024. “Svitlana and Yelyzaveta entered the United States in April 2021 on nonimmigrant visas. In August 2024, while living in Florida, Svitlana and Yelyzaveta registered to vote in federal elections using a system that requires certification of United States citizenship, which neither of...

Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre lost his own seat in Parliament in Monday’s election, but he has not resigned as leader of the party and some prominent Conservatives have spoken up to defend his position. “There is no doubt that Pierre Poilievre and his team ran an incredible campaign,” former Conservative leader Andrew Scheer said in a post on social media platform X on Tuesday. Scheer noted that while the Conservatives came up short of forming a government, they won “the highest vote percentage in modern Conservative history” and “the most amount of total votes for our party,...

Former actress and filmmaker Justine Bateman, of Family Ties and Violet fame, said the election of President Trump may be the tipping point for the “woke mob mentality” that terrorize American culture. Speaking with The Irish Times about the state of Hollywood and the downfall of cinema, Bateman discussed a book she had written about beauty standards and how it struck a chord with people who had been chasing plastic surgery. “People are saying perhaps that book was a tipping point – just like this election was a tipping point for the woke mob mentality momentum. Perhaps my book changed...

The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of a Defense Department Branch Chief attacking President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Nicolas Turza, a Department of Defense Branch Chief, called President Trump “illegitimate” and vowed to “resist him, everything he does.” Turza also attacked Hegseth and said the 44-year-old is “insanely young” and unfit to lead. “The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship. He’s illegitimate. He’s terribly immoral, breaking every norm. We’re going to resist him. Everything he does,” Turza said about Trump.

Today the Colorado Deep State in conjunction with the Globalists were unsuccessful in dismissing the DOJ Statement of Interest against Tina Peters. This alone was a HUGE victory for justice. Leading up to today, the Insurgent Marxist Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser on behalf of his Globalist handlers did all he could to prevent the case from even being heard. He even attempted to utilize last minute 3rd Grade excuses reminiscent of why homework wasn’t done. Their excuses were also unsuccessful. The Judge today heard both sides, and instead of ruling in favor of the Deep State as it usually...

Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas is urging all residents to oppose the federal Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act. In a release from her office Thursday, Thomas says the legislation is “bad for Connecticut, bad for voters and bad for taxpayers.” The U.S. House passed the bill this week. If it passes the Senate and goes into effect, the bill would require in-person voter registration with physical proof of citizenship and eliminate online and mail-in registration. Thomas warns everyone that the measure would place costly, unfunded mandates on municipalities, burden local election offices and open the door...
