At one point it was thought Massie wasn’t part of the in-crowd, either, but then he became the darling of people like Ro Khanna and the editors of Politico by joining in the Epstein chorus. His constituents noticed, and they pulled the lever for Ed Gallrein, and now Thomas Massie can go and hang with Tucker and Candace. Massie can’t blame this on Trump. Massie did this to himself. Sometimes, the grifters become the marks, and that’s the end of the grift.

Police are investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over potential sex crimes, it is understood. Detectives are keen to speak to a woman who claims she was taken to the former prince's home in Windsor "for sexual purposes".

"It's the darndest thing," said FBI Agent Tom Halleck. "There's just no telling how Epstein could have gotten a hold of Ms. Clinton's stationery.

In one of the most unfortunate moral and strategic inversions in recent times, Democrats today seem to believe what is good for our national security is bad for the Democratic Party.Republicans have generally supported Democratic presidents in wartime: Kosovo 1999, Libya 2011, Yemen 2024 — all commenced without congressional authorization.Democrats have done mostly the same for Republican presidents: Iraq 1991 and 2003, Afghanistan 2001.But with Donald Trump and Iran, things are different: Democrats are in uniform, rageful opposition. They hector the president daily even amid combat operations, much to the delight of the Iranian mullahs, who avidly consume US media...

There’s a new forecast of the Social Security boost retirees should expect in 2027 - and it’s a huge disappointment for the millions of Americans who depend on their bi-monthly benefit checks... Older Americans absolutely rely on this so-called ‘cost of living adjustment’ or COLA, since more than 40 percent of them depend on Social Security alone for all of their retirement income. The new estimate of the forthcoming official 2027 cost-of-living adjustment shows the average Social Security benefit check will only rise by $56, or roughly 2.8 percent. The average benefits check for retired workers would increase to $2,081...
