The Reverend Jesse Jackson died this week, prompting tributes from far and near:Former president Barack Obama said Jackson "laid the foundation for my own campaign to the highest office of the land".So his principal contribution was as Obama's warm-up act? One begins to understand why the Rev was so eager to "cut his nuts off". So poor Jesse had to make do with being (as I used to call him back in the Nineties and Oughts) President-for-Life of the Republic of Himself. The pansies of The Orange County Register refused to print that phrase, which is why I no longer...

FIRST ON FOX: Former President Barack Obama once declared that his presidential center would be a "gift" to Chicago, but taxpayers are on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars in hidden costs related to the beleaguered project. A Fox News Digital investigation shows taxpayers are now stuck footing the bill for surging public infrastructure costs required to support the project — and no government agency can provide an accounting of the total public cost, despite months of queries and FOIA requests. "Illinois Republicans saw this coming a mile away. Now, right on cue, Illinois Democrats are leaving taxpayers...

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Baptist minister and two-time presidential candidate whose booming oratory and populist message propelled the Civil Rights Movement in the decades after the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., died Tuesday, his family said. He was 84. "Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement. Civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton said in a statement that “our nation lost one of its greatest moral voices” and paid tribute to a man...

Hillary Clinton accused the MAGA movement of transforming “savagery” into a moral value, arguing in a sweeping new essay the idea that “compassion is weak and cruelty is strong” has become an “article of MAGA faith” – which she warned has become a “rallying cry” to Christian nationalism. In a 6,000-word article published in The Atlantic on Friday, titled “MAGA’s War on Empathy”, Clinton framed recent federal actions in Minnesota as a turning point that exposes what she called a deeper ethical breakdown within President Donald Trump’s movement. She opened by describing her reaction to video footage showing the killing...

Hillary Clinton took to social media to express support for the rioters in Minneapolis even as the disgraced former candidate and her husband were dodging a congressional subpoena looking into their relationship with family friend and Clinton Foundation co-founder Jeffrey Epstein. After condemning the Trump administration’s push to deport illegal alien criminals from Minneapolis, despite the obstruction of violent leftist rioters who had tried to murder federal law enforcement agents and bit off an agent’s finger, Clinton urged directing funding to the rioters. “In Minnesota, scores of ordinary people are bravely looking out for their neighbors, defending their communities, and...

This is infuriating, and entirely due to something else in the background {GO DEEP}. Former National Security Council member (Russia/EurAsia desk) Alexander Vindman is running for a Florida senate seat against Republican Ashley Moody. First, Alexander Vindman doesn’t stand a chance at winning; however, that’s not his objective with this announcement. Here is where it becomes important to understand the game. Vindman is directly tied to the background issue of the fraudulent impeachment effort, which I have been working to bring to the forefront. Progress is agonizingly slow but moving forward. Alexander Vindman has two primary objectives in announcing this...

The parents of the two children accusing Timothy Busfield of sexual abuse are involved in an unrelated ongoing lawsuit over alleged injuries the dad suffered, Us Weekly can exclusively report. On August 12, 2024, Ronald Rodis and Angele LaSalle filed a lawsuit against Southwest Executive Suites and various other defendants.

VIDEOFulton County prosecutor Fani Willis was just investigated by the Georgia State Senate for her handling of the nothngburger case (encouraged by the Biden Regime) against President Donald Trump including charges that her and her boyfriend, Nathan Wade, used the prosecution expenses as a piggy bank for grift including going on expensive cruises together. While watching her meltdowns during that state senate hearing, it is interesting to recall how journalist and FAILED author Michael Isikoff vehemently defended her against the corruption charges in early 2024. Of course, Isikoff had a big financial stake in convincing the public of Fani's integrity...

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called those concerned about whether she married her brother "sick" after the far-left lawmaker was approached by Fox News Digital about border czar Tom Homan, signaling that federal officials have started digging into records pertaining to the matter. Homan said last week that records and files related to Omar's potential immigration fraud were being pulled and looked at after President Donald Trump revived the years-old scandal amid an ongoing debate over the Somali Medicaid fraud scandal taking place in Omar's state of Minnesota. While Homan suggested that fraud likely took place, he also signaled that...

Let me just say it straight. Marjorie Taylor Greene did not walk away from Congress because she is tired of Washington. She walked away because Washington finally caught up to her. Every politician who sells themselves as a warrior for the people should be held to the same standard. So when I see somebody who claims to be America First, claims to be a Christian, claims to be fighting the deep state, and then somehow turns a $700,000 net worth into twenty five million dollars after a few short years in office, I am going to call you out. I...

VIDEOApparently Klaus Schwab owns nothing and he is NOT happy. Otherwise why would the former head of the WEF act like a common TV pitchman for his Academy grift. Schwab is definitely giving off Vince Offer vibes with the difference that the latter TV pitchman offers better products.The big question is how did Schwab go broke to the extent that he is now definitely grifting with his dopey Academy? My guess is he blew all the money he scammed at WEF via some crypto that went bust or got suckered into pouring his grift money into some futuristic scheme that...

State Senator Lea Webb, who represents Tompkins, Cortland, and much of Broome County, is facing foreclosure on her Binghamton-area home, according to recent court documents. The Ithaca Voice reports attorneys for PHH Mortgage Corporation, a New Jersey-based lender, filed a civil suit against Webb in federal district court on October 22 over missed mortgage payments. Court filings indicate that as of June 2025, Webb was in default for $7,760, roughly equivalent to three months of payments. Webb purchased the four-bedroom home in Johnson City last December for $380,000, according to county records. The property is listed on Broome County tax...

A small group of women known as some of the fiercest MAGA stalwarts in the House have led the way in pushing back against President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on some of the most high-profile issues of recent months — many involving the victimization of women. These lawmakers have been on an island apart from their colleagues as they’ve called for the Department of Justice to release files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and supported a resolution to censure a fellow Republican accused of sexual misconduct. “I think we ran out of patience a...

The Ohio governor race has started to come into focus as voters look ahead to the 2026 election contests, and a recent poll has shown Democrat hopeful Amy Acton ahead of Republican frontrunner Vivek Ramaswamy—if only by a slim margin. The poll, conducted on behalf of the Ohio Federation of Teachers, shows Acton with a higher favorability among Ohio likely voters—including a potentially key 21-point advantage among independent voters—but Ramaswamy's campaign has disputed these results. Ohio will face an open election for governor after incumbent Mike DeWine serves out his term-limited time in office. Ohio has elected only 1 Democrat...

An influencer’s negative review of a bakery has backfired online, with the owner calling her out for “lying and bullying.” Aurora Griffo, who regularly reviews food on her TikTok account Glamorama, shared a video critiquing popular Arizona bakery JL Patisserie, and it quickly sent the internet into a spin*** In a now-viral response video, JL Patisserie revealed the influencer had contacted them before her visit, suggesting the idea of a collaboration with them. CEO Jenna Leurquin claimed the bakery “respectfully declined” because they just couldn’t accommodate the request in their budget. “Then she essentially tried to blackmail us by saying...

WOAH — Nancy Pelosi tells reporter to 'SHUT UP' when asked why she refused National Guard support on January 6th. The democratic party is fracturing.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that white men of a “certain religion” are responsible for “so much damage” just two weeks after the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk. Clinton, 77, made the remarks during a segment Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in which the two-time Democratic presidential candidate said America has yet to achieve the “more perfect union” spoken of by former President Abraham Lincoln. “We haven't gotten to the more perfect union, and we fought a Civil War over part of it. And people have been protesting for hundreds of years that things were...

@FBIDirectorKash As the Director of the FBI, I am committed to ensuring the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination is thorough and exhaustive, pursuing every lead to its conclusion. The full weight of America’s law enforcement agencies are actively following the evidence that has emerged, but our efforts extend beyond initial findings. We are examining every facet of this assassination. We are meticulously investigating theories and questions, including the location from where the shot was taken, the possibility of accomplices, the text message confession and related conversations, Discord chats, the angle of the shot and bullet impact, how the weapon was...

The Obama library — which isn't a library — has ballooned to a construction cost of more than $615 million, up from the original estimate of $300 million when the edifice was proposed in 2019. As 2024, the estimate had soared to $615 million, with the cost adding up to a whopping $615,674,047. But according to the Chicago Tribune, other estimates have already placed construction costs past the $700 million mark. Along with these massive cost overruns, the Barack Obama Presidential Center has had a very troubled history already, and it hasn’t even been completed yet. Originally, the Obama Center...
