The FBI arrested the man who went viral last week for distributing what appeared to be military-grade “bionic shield” face masks to violent demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles. “ARRESTED: Alejandro Theodoro Orellana was arrested this morning by FBI Los Angeles on an allegation of Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders (18 USC 371) for distributing face shields to suspected rioters on Tuesday. We are moving quickly to identify and arrest those involved in organizing and/or supporting civil disorder in Los Angeles,” U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said in a statement. The suspect has been identified as...

President Trump suggested Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was one of the autopen operators. Trump made the remarks on Tuesday during an Oval Office briefing on wildfires. A reporter asked President Trump if people should see similar ICE operations in the rest of the country after the feds conducted immigration raids in Los Angeles. President Trump said more ICE raids will take place across the country and slammed the Biden Regime for facilitating the invasion of illegal aliens. Trump said Joe Biden’s autopen – and whoever operated the autopen… like Lisa Monaco – facilitated the invasion. Recall that Lisa...

Meet Bob and Chuck. Brilliant scientists at a new company have determined that Chuck will outlive Bob, so Bob may as well be discarded. See how unfathomably twisted that is? And yet it’s the model for a new, pricey business that somehow got a glowing piece in The Wall Street Journal. Nucleus Genomics, in its infinite wisdom (that’s dripping with sarcasm), has revealed a $5,999 analysis of embryos, which can reveal certain factors, like likelihood of age-related diseases, height, and IQ. It basically allows prospective parents using in vitro fertilization to go window shopping for the “best” possible baby, as...

NASA scientists have calculated the date a lunar eclipse occurred in A.D. 33 that may pinpoint the day of Jesus’ crucifixion. In Genesis 1, we read that God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years.” So it’s not surprising there would be a least one sign in the heavens to mark the death of Jesus as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. The New York Post reported that NASA’s “astronomical models suggest that...

When it comes to sharing his opinions on pretty much any topic, Steve Bannon has never been shy, and today, in defense of his good friend, Donald J. Trump, Bannon eviscerated the world’s wealthiest man, calling him ‘incompetent,” and suggesting Musk had no business receiving the kind of trust or praise Trump bestowed upon him. Today, while speaking with two of his co-hosts, former US Congressman Dave Brat and social media personality Jack Posbiec, Steve Bannon appeared to have had enough of the very public feud between Elon Musk and President Trump and mercilessly unloaded on Musk. “Elon Musk is...

The woman who was charged after spitting on DOJ official Ed Martin is potentially facing new charges after she went on an insane tweet rant and threatened Interim DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro. Last month, the Justice Department charged the unhinged woman who spat on DOJ official Ed Martin. The woman, identified as Emily Gabriella Sommer, was charged with violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111 (Assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and employees of the United States). Sommer spat on then-Acting DC US Attorney Ed Martin last month while he was interviewing with Newsmax. “We need to stay focused,” Ed...

On Monday, Eric Coomer, former Director of Product Strategy and Security for Dominion Voting Systems, will face off against Mike Lindell, MyPillow, and FrankSpeech (consolidated as “Lindell”) in a lawsuit brought in federal court in Colorado. Coomer is suing Lindell for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and civil conspiracy, claiming that Lindell’s conduct provoked “an onslaught of harassment and credible death threats issued against him.” The lawsuit centers around alleged false claims and defamatory statements made by Mike Lindell as a result of accusations made by Joe Oltmann on The Conservative Daily Podcast (now Untamed) following the 2020 election....

That today’s (2) peace negotiations in Istanbul between Russia and Ukraine have flopped is hardly surprising. On the one hand, Russian Federation forces have conquered around 20 settlements in a single week, and their offensive on the Northern Sumy and Kharkov regions have the real potential of breaking down the undermanned and underequipped Ukrainian defenses. Mood at the Istanbul talks — Ukraine’s Defense Minister Umerov cracks a smile, while Putin’s aide Medinsky remains serious pic.twitter.com/9TDU3xBzQ3 — RT (@RT_com) June 2, 2025 But on the other hand, Ukraine arrived for the talks boosted by the success of yesterday’s drone attack on...

Illegitimate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky opened his comments at the peace negotiations in Turkey by gloating about Sunday’s surprise attack deep inside Russia and begging the West (NATO) for more weapons to hurl at Russia. Zelensky’s comments come the day after Ukraine and its Western allies pulled off a massive attack deep inside Russia.

ABC News is reporting that Republicans are planning to investigate Biden’s mental decline, but they frame it on Twitter/X and in the actual report as “what they call Biden’s decline.” Jake Tapper and other liberal journalists are writing books about Biden’s mental decline and doing massive media tours to promote these books, but when Republicans decide to investigate, suddenly it’s framed as a partisan accusation. Also, when did investigations become a bad thing? Democrats and the media sure seemed to love them when they focused on Trump. Take a look at this:

Three daughters of the late civil rights activist Malcolm X are suing the CIA, FBI, and the New York Police Department in a $100 million lawsuit. In the lawsuit, the three daughters claim the CIA, FBI, and NYPD played a role in their father’s assassination. The lawsuit was filed in a Manhattan federal court and claims the agencies were involved in Malcolm X’s death and failed to prevent his assassination. Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965, in Manhattan while delivering a speech. Three men were convicted in connection to the assassination of the civil rights activist, but two...

Per Project Veritas: Project Veritas today released Part One of an explosive undercover investigation revealing shocking truths about who truly controlled the Biden White House.

In candid, on-camera...

A memo with talking points apparently went out to the leftwing media following Wednesday’s fiery Oval Office meeting between President Trump and the South African President. During big news events, a phenomenon occurs where the leftwing media not only pushes the same narrative across every network, but in many cases, they read the same script. They would have us believe it’s a coincidence, but they’re clearly reading talking points, likely provided by the Democratic Party. One example of this was after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky went before the US Congress and demanded billions of dollars and weapons to continue his...

Jill Biden’s former press secretary Michael LaRosa went off on the Bidens for concealing one scandal after another. “This was a group in the White House who were allergic to transparency, and I’m talking about just in the East Wing. The very first day walking into the White House, the usher was fired, and I couldn’t get reporters straight answers, because nobody would give me straight answers,” LaRosa said on Fox & Friends. Michael LaRosa said the Bidens lied about everything from the dogs biting secret service agents to wedding arrangements. “They took days and months to be deliberative, and...

A new battle is stirring on Capitol Hill as Senate Democrats have threatened to not move forward with confirmations of President Donald Trump’s US attorney nominees around the country – already following through with a hold on one of his picks. Senate Democrats say they are merely following precedent established by now-Vice President JD Vance under President Joe Biden, when the then-senator held up US attorney nominations in protest of what he called the political prosecutions against Trump. Sen. Dick Durbin, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced Thursday that he would hold the nomination of Jason Reding...

Rather than honoring the military men and women who gave their lives defending their fellow Americans’ right to live in freedom, two-time failed Democratic Party presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is calling on her supporters to bash President Donald Trump and his One Big Beautiful Bill that passed the House this week when they get together with friends and neighbors at Memorial Day gatherings this weekend:

In this VIDEO clip, DeKalb Board of Elections Attorney, Brent Herrin explains to the State Election Board that: “…TABULATING MACHINES WERE NOT ACCURATE. A decision by the board was made to do a HAND RECOUNT to ensure accurate results of the election,” Keisha Smith, DeKalb Elections Director, nods her head repeatedly in agreement. Duh! Isn’t that what we have been saying for 20+ years? Georgia’s Dominion voting system declared the wrong winners for the May 22, 2024 DeKalb Co. District 2 Commission primary. It only became known because a candidate received no votes in the precinct where she and her...

Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver appeared before a judge on Wednesday after the Justice Department charged her with federal crimes for assaulting ICE agents. Rep. McIver appeared virtually from DC. She was released on her own recognizance and did not have to post bail. The judge ordered McIver to surrender her firearms and said she cannot travel outside of the US. Congresswoman LaMonica McIver appeared in front of a judge virtually today. She did not have to post bail. But, cannot travel outside of the country…for now. McIver is fundraising off the charges, according to Fox digital. Asking for money to...

Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett has alleged that staffers in Joe Biden’s administration engaged in a “cash for clemency” scheme, using an autopen to issue pardons in exchange for financial payoffs. An autopen is a device that mechanically reproduces signatures. On Tuesday, Rep. Burchett appeared on “The Benny Johnson Show” and stated, “You are gonna find staffers that were able to take forms, get them and run them through some sort of bogus legal system, then they auto-penned them.” Burchett said he believes there was a pay-for-pardon scheme happening, and pointed to a historical scandal involving former Tennessee Governor Ray Blanton,...
