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...

@SenRandPaul Today, I introduced the only real plan to balance the budget. Neither Republicans nor Democrats bothered to offer one. Five months ago, they claimed spending would be $6 trillion—now it’s already blown past $6.6 trillion. Government incompetence, on full display.

WATCH: Failed politician Stacey Abrams says Trump is a "Grand Ayatollah" with "mystical power." "Elections are not real."

Myanmar’s rebranded State Security and Peace Commission (SSPC) has announced elections for December 28, in a flurry of domestic dictatorial reformation. But they also want to deceive world opinion too, with the early-August announcement of a US$3 million contract with Washington DC-based public relations firm DCI Group. The filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) claims the contract is to “provide public affairs services to Client (SSPC) with respect to rebuilding relations between the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and the United States, with a focus on trade, natural resources, and humanitarian relief.” The contract will run through...

*** A federal criminal investigation is underway into Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) over allegations of mortgage fraud, Fox News reported Tuesday night. The probe is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland and follows a criminal referral from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to the Department of Justice. According to the FHFA referral obtained by Fox News, Schiff allegedly falsified bank documents and property records to obtain more favorable loan terms on multiple occasions. In a letter dated May 2025, FHFA Director William Pulte wrote that Schiff’s conduct “jeopardizes the safety and soundness of FHFA’s regulated entities...

" ... Barack Obama’s Social Security number is our equivalent of the Rosetta Stone, although still undeciphered, and long overdue. Everything about him starts with his unexplainable use of a phony Social Security number, issued on March 28, 1977, to someone born in 1890 in Connecticut. Obama was fifteen years old then and in school in Hawaii. ..." continue reading at: https://susandaniels.substack.com/p/barack-obama-and-the-rosetta-stone

The founders said our rights come from the Creator. It is He who has endowed us with our rights. Therefore, they stand secure. But what if there were no Creator? What then? Some in our society seem to think that the Creator has somehow been disproved by science, that evolution is a proven fact, that the Scopes Monkey Trial 100 years ago this month helped settle the matter. Case closed.

Former President George W. Bush joined up with former President Barack Obama and U2 singer Bono to comfort United States Agency for International Development employees Monday, while also taking shots at President Donald Trump and his administration for shuttering the agency plagued by accusations of fraud and abuse. “Gutting USAID is a travesty, and it’s a tragedy,” Obama said in a video that was shown to departing USAID employees Monday, according to the Associated Press. “Because it’s some of the most important work happening anywhere in the world.” Obama summed up the decision to shutter the agency as “a colossal...

New York magazine writer Charlotte Klein is really annoyed with former Biden White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre. What bothers Klein isn't the fact that KJP was utterly incompetent as now attested to by her former fellow White House colleagues, nor even the fact that she is obviously grifting with the launch of her new self-serving book. No, what irks Klein is the word "independent" which KJP has latched onto with her announcement that she is leaving the Democrat party.You get an idea of just how obsessed Klein is by "independent" by the fact that she obsessively repeats that word...

The speaker is mounting a multi-front rebuttal to the billionaire’s criticism — and trying to keep the backlash contained.Mike Johnson has spent his 19 months as speaker forging a close relationship with President Donald Trump — in part to avoid the social-media bombshells that derailed so many Republican priorities during Trump’s first term.Now he has to deal with another, perhaps even more unpredictable online bomb-thrower.Elon Musk’s decision to launch a sudden scorched-earth campaign against the GOP’s domestic-policy megabill has forced Johnson into a sudden scramble to save the centerpiece of the Republican legislative agenda.Starting in the moments Tuesday after Musk...

“Why is it that man ever chooses to sin? The answer is that man has fallen away from God (and) his whole nature has become perverted and sinful. Man’s whole bias is away from God. By nature he hates God and feels that God is opposed to him. His god is himself…his own abilities and powers and desires (Man) likes and covets the things which God prohibits, and dislikes the things and kind of life to which God calls him. These are no mere dogmatic statements. They are facts (that) alone explain the moral muddle and the ugliness that characterize...

WASHINGTON — It’s not just Biden family artwork that’s struggling to sell these days. Former President Joe Biden’s attempt to bill $300,000 per speaking appearance is finding few takers, The Post has learned — as some of his own former aides say it’s time for the 82-year-old to leave the spotlight for good after reminiscing about “colored kids” Tuesday in his first public address since leaving office. A source familiar with Biden’s faltering speaking career said that the 46th president’s standard pitch is $300,000 — 25% below Barack Obama’s $400,000 asking price upon leaving office in 2017. It’s unclear how...

By her own admission, Stacey Abrams has made a number of "personal financial missteps” in her career. Despite a history marked by bill collectors, tax liens, and ethics investigations, the Georgia politician and Democratic Party activist has managed to amass a small fortune – while working most of her career in the not-for-profit sector. Financial records show that when she first entered statewide politics in 2018, she reported a net worth of less than $109,000. By 2022, the last year she had to publicly file a financial report, it had grown to more than $3.2 million. Abrams is probably even...

Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s bid for governor has gained significant momentum following a full endorsement from President Donald Trump, who praised Ramaswamy as "Young, Strong, and Smart" and a "very good person who truly loves our Country." The endorsement is expected to bolster Ramaswamy's campaign against Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, who has launched his own gubernatorial bid. Ramaswamy's platform includes policies such as banning cell phones in schools and closely aligning himself with Trump’s agenda. His endorsement is seen as a strategic move to solidify his position in the race and appeal to conservative voters in the...
