Hunter Biden’s defense lawyers reiterated their stance Friday that the Special Counsel’s Office should not be allowed to rail against his “extravagant lifestyle” at his nearing Delaware gun trial by bringing up prejudicial and “salacious” allegations of spending on “adult entertainment” and “escort services.” The filing comes two days after special counsel David Weiss rejected the notion that the words “extravagant lifestyle” are necessarily prejudicial. Prosecutors warned that they do intend to use “relevant evidence” of Biden’s spending at trial, coupled with the “admissions” about crack addiction in Biden’s book “Beautiful Things.” Here’s how Weiss forecast his intentions regarding evidence...

If one were to take a look at just a few of the revelations that have come out regarding the January 6 trespassing of the Capitol Building, it would be easy to conclude the entire thing was a setup perpetrated by the Deep State, Washington DC leaders, and Nancy Pelosi. But we haven’t seen just a few of these revelations. We’ve seen mountains of evidence that this event was designed to prompt a series of actions that could be classified by mainstream media and Democrats as an “insurrection.” It was a trap, plain and simple, and now we’re learning that...

Tara had struck gold. After spending a lazy Saturday afternoon browsing through the dating app she was currently experimenting with, she hit it off with a nice-sounding guy, and the two exchanged real names and numbers.

"I was like, oh, he’s kind of cute…" Neither had plans that night, so they started figuring out where they could meet up for a drink. When Tara suggested a restaurant in midtown Manhattan, Stuart was into it: "Okay cool, my hotel...

A group of people have established a fundraising website for the woman who earlier this month killed an attacker who might have been a serial killer. Supporters thought the woman — who has been publicly identified only by her first name, Heather — might need funds for public relations and legal assistance if any companies want to buy the rights to her story, to stop placing ads on Backpage and to get away from the location of the attack and find a new apartment, according to one of the organizers of the fundraiser, Charleston resident Laura Gandee. “She’s a feminist...
