Political pundit Tucker Carlson doubled down on his criticism of Israel’s strikes against Iran, rebuking several media figures, including his former colleagues at Fox News, over what he described as their push for President Trump to engage in the region. “Who are the warmongers? They would include anyone who’s calling Donald Trump today to demand air strikes and other direct US military involvement in a war with Iran,” Carlson wrote in a post on the social media platform X. “On that list: Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Rupert Murdoch, Ike Perlmutter and Miriam Adelson. At some point they will all have...

What does a nation that has killed more than 60 million of their own children deserve? Every single day, the number of American children that are killed exceeds the number of Americans that were killed on 9/11. Every single year, the number of American children that are killed is nearly equal to the number of Americans that have been killed in all of the wars that the U.S. has ever been involved in combined. More than 60 million babies have been slaughtered since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. At this point, we have become a society that has...

Americans are facing the highest death toll from influenza since 2018, just as more people become vulnerable because of growing vaccine skepticism taking hold in statehouses and the Trump administration.Flu-related deaths hit a seven-year high in January and February, the two months that usually account for the height of flu season, according to a Stateline analysis of preliminary federal statistics. There were about 9,800 deaths across the country, up from 5,000 in the same period last year and the most since 2018, when there were about 10,800.Despite that, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has canceled or postponed...

Former Rep. Max Rose (D-NY) claimed Wednesday on “MSNBC Reports” that the “nature’ of the MAGA base was “very angry, aggressive” and disregarded facts. Guest host Yamiche Alcindor said, “So, congressman, what do you make of this support for Matt Gaetz among Trump allies and do you think he will be able to really have a run for office especially after now this report comes out with all of these allegations?” Rose said, “This is pretty sick and disturbing thing to think about. That, one, there could be clear evidence that someone did these things while they were a member...

“President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.” That was ABC News’ David Muir “fact checking” Donald Trump during his debate with Kamala Harris. Two days later, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released the results of its national crime victimization survey, which showed that the number of victims of violent crime was 41% higher in 2023 than in 2020.There were almost 170,000 more rapes, 300,000 more robberies, 1.4 million more assaults, 300,000 more claims of domestic violence, and almost 400,000 more crimes with a violent weapon. *** And in January, the...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ knowledge of the facts could be a problem during her debate with former President Donald Trump. Host Jen Psaki said, “I don’t know if you heard there’s a debate tomorrow. You and the vice president were prosecutors around the same time in California. What do you think that background means for how she will approach a debate with Donald Trump tomorrow night?” Schiff said, “I think she will be quick on her feet. She will know the facts and be able to marshal the facts in...

The Supreme Court’s recent decision in Donald Trump v. United States — in which a majority of the justices found that presidents are immune from prosecution for many actions taken during their presidency — is a legal earthquake. One way to see what a huge difference this new ruling will have is to look back at Watergate to see what behavior the Supreme Court excused for all presidents. I wrote about ex-President Trump’s ongoing criminal exposure in my new book “Corporatocracy.” I worried in that book that Trump would not be held accountable by the courts. As it turns out,...

Few things are as refreshing—or nutritious—on a warm summer day as a tall glass of cold milk. With essential nutrients like calcium, potassium and vitamin A, plus protein to help build and repair muscle tissue, milk is a great choice for many active people. Even more exciting are the foods made from milk: a slice of cheese temptingly melted over a grilled hamburger or a dish of ice cream providing the perfect summer dessert. No wonder the dairy industry chose June as the perfect month to celebrate dairy foods and the family dairy farms that produce them. What Is National...

Prosecutors went after Hunter Biden's attorneys during an hours-long hearing Wednesday on several motions to dismiss criminal tax evasion charges against the president's son.

Either the commissars prevail at great expense to the safety and liberty of the nation or they are defeated. And the closing chapter is being written right now. "We have a saying in my office. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.” So said FBI supervisory agent Henrik Impola to one of the FBI informants working the FBI-inspired, organized, and executed scheme to “kidnap” and “assassinate” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer ahead of the 2020 presidential election. That comment, made in December 2020, just a few months after several men were arrested for their alleged role...

At their weekly news conference, several Republican House leaders wrongly claimed the special counsel report into Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents found the president was mentally unfit to stand trial. The report said no such thing. Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report ultimately concluded “the evidence is not sufficient to convict” Biden and that “no criminal charges are warranted.” The report did refer numerous times to what it characterized as Biden’s “limited” and “poor” memory. Those observations were included, Hur wrote, because they factored into his decision about whether he could convince a jury that Biden had acted “willfully” to...

Oded Revivi, mayor of Efrat, spoke to Israel National News – Arutz Sheva about how the days of war are being felt in Efrat and in all of Judea and Samaria. Mayor Revivi: “I think the feelings that we have in Judea and Samaria, in Efrat, are just like anywhere else in Israel. People are definitely worried about their loved ones being on the front line. People are definitely concerned about what happened on the 7th of October and want to make sure that such events don't re-occur in other places in Israel. We are facing a great challenge in...

The House of Representatives (212 Republicans and 22 Democrats) recently voted to censure radical Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., because she has "levied unbelievable falsehoods about our greatest ally, Israel, and the attack on October 7." One of those outrageous falsehoods was clinging to the false claim that Israel bombed the al-Ahli hospital in Gaza. But guess what? Our professional "fact-checkers" haven't located that lie... or any other nutty utterance, like her laughable claim that "from the river to the sea" isn't a Hamas slogan about the eradication of Israel, it's an "aspirational call for freedom" and "peaceful coexistence." With Democrats,...

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy revealed on ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ that the GOP has recently moved "closer" to filing an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, an effort to hold the U.S. government "accountable" that is now being pursued by the new House Speaker, Mike Johnson. KEVIN MCCARTHY: No one in America would have known that President Biden has lied, that they did receive money from China…that he did get involved in the business dealings. When he went to Cafe Milano, his son got a new Porsche and $3 million was sent to him. We have systematically followed every place the...

Alex Jones on Monday told Western citizens the Israeli attacks signal what is to come in the US and provided a blueprint for We The People to warn others about the potential incoming wave of terror strikes in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. “We have to let the CIA and Mossad and MI6 and NATO intelligence and all the rest of them know that if and when there’s massive attacks in the West, you with the UN set up these centers and brought in these people,” Jones told his audience. “You know exactly what you’re doing and many of these...

At first slowly but in recent weeks with seemingly gathering pace, two trends have emerged. On the one hand, many of the core claims behind lockdowns, masks, and vaccines are unravelling and the prevailing narrative has been in retreat on all three fronts.But there is still a long way to go, as indicated by the cussed refusal of the Biden administration to let Novak Djokovic play at Indian Wells.On the other hand, the explosive lockdown files in the UK have blown apart the official narrative. We the sceptics were right in our dark suspicions of the motives, scientific basis, and...

Research Confirms the Stereotype: Liberals Confuse Emotion With Rationality by Selwyn Duke February 9, 2023 Research Confirms the Stereotype: Liberals Confuse Emotion With Rationality Liberals are not only more likely than conservatives to suppose that “emotion is a feature of rationality,” a series of three studies has shown, but also apparently believe it should be. In fact, they consider emotions more “functional” (utilitarian, essentially) than conservatives do despite reporting less emotional well-being. The research was published in the journal Motivation and Emotion. Defining “functional” as “beneficial for individuals for adapting to the environment or attaining their goals,” the authors write...
