Federal agents executing a search warrant at the downtown office of former National Security Adviser John Bolton in late August seized a cache of documents marked as classified, according to court documents. The office mission was the second such search conducted by the FBI following an early-morning raid at Bolton's home. The application for the warrant at his office, according to the filing, was to search for "evidence of a crime" and to locate potential "contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed." An inventory of the property taken at Bolton's office indicates several electronic devices, as well as...

In her first television interview since the 2024 election, Clinton stressed that this event is being used to attack political opponents, emphasizing that leaders in such times should try to unite the people, but, according to her, greater divisions are occurring.

Socialist NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani celebrated his recent nuptials with a lavish, three-day affair at his family’s ritzy, secluded Ugandan compound — complete with masked security guards and a cellphone jamming system, The Post has learned. The gates of the bustling, private compound, which sits in the wealthy Buziga Hill area outside the capital city of Kampala, were heavily guarded by military-style, masked men this week, with guests streaming in and partying until midnight, according to sources in the town who wished to remain anonymous for security reasons.

John Bolton, former national security adviser to Donald Trump, applauded the president's decision to strike Iran, explaining to CNN's Kasie Hunt why he believes it was "clearly the right thing to do."

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer In 2012, @TuckerCarlson said, “I do think, I'm sure I'm the lone voice in saying this, that Iran deserves to be annihilated. I think they're lunatics. I think they're evil.” When you go to Qatar, it poisons your brain. 9:48 PM · Jun 18, 2025

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) called for “decency” and denounced “mean tweets” late Sunday while announcing the arrest of a suspect in shootings that killed former Minnesota Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and injured Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman (D).

Veteran broadcaster Chuck Todd, who left NBC News and launched a solo podcast earlier this year, said in an interview this weekend that someone slashed his car’s tires after President Trump criticized him during Trump’s previous White House stint. “There was direct correlation, right? He’d call your name out, [and] you’d get weird phone calls, you’d get weird death threats,” Todd said in the interview Saturday with Times Radio, a British station owned by conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch. “I got my tires slashed in front of my house.” Todd told Times Radio host Maddie Hale that he addressed the...

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that if Republicans passed President Donald Trump’s spending bill as is, they would “get smoked” in the 2026 midterm elections. Host Chris Hayes said, “Josh Hawley, Republican, Missouri, wrote a big op-ed in The New York Times saying Medicaid cuts are a bad idea. Does that end up mattering in the Senate?” Murphy said, “I think it’s a great question, Chris because the Republican Party still does essentially operate like a cult. And that’s not fundamentally different in the Senate than it is in the House. I mean, yes, you’ve...

Neil Young is facing criticism for a new song he wrote about “fascists” buying Teslas. The 79-year-old singer-songwriter debuted the song, reportedly titled “Let’s Roll Again,” at the Light Up the Blue charity concert in Los Angeles over the weekend. “If you’re a fascist, get a Tesla / It’s electric, it doesn’t matter / If you’re a Democrat, taste your freedom / Get whatever you want, taste your freedom,” Young could be heard singing in clips circulating on social media. “Come on Ford, come on GM / Come on Chrysler, let’s roll again,” the song continued. “Build something special that...

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal Roche Repudiates Traditionis CustodesEver since Traditionis Custodes was issued more than 3½ years ago, its defenders have struggled to come up with a rationale for why it was issued at all. This is hardly surprising. The motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, in repudiation of which it was written, was the fruit of decades of careful meditation on the Church’s liturgy problem, on the part of one of the finest minds of our times. And the theological and pastoral problems which Benedict XVI addressed with such wisdom and sensitivity are not one whit less real and serious now than...

Hillary Clinton needed just six words to make her feelings about President Donald Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin crystal clear. On Sunday, the former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee shared a Gizmodo report on X (formerly Twitter) detailing a reported decision by Trump’s newly appointed Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth. The article reported that Hegseth had ordered U.S. Cyber Command to “stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions.” Clinton’s response? A biting caption: “Wouldn’t want to hurt Putin’s feelings.”

The View may soon have to issue another legal note or face a lawsuit from the world’s richest man following a vicious lie by leftist co-host Joy Behar. While discussing DOGE, the infamous talking head decided to mock Elon Musk’s immigrant heritage during a vile tirade. She first attempted to smear Musk as a racist, claiming that he was pro-apartheid. Musk was a vociferous opponent of apartheid in South Africa and attended multiple apartheid rallies. Moreover, the evil regime Musk grew up in taught him not to discriminate against his fellow man, according to his father. But these facts did...

Word on the street is that DOGE is about to dive headfirst into the wild and unruly Ukraine funding, which is welcome news to many Americans who are sick and tired of watching their hard-earned tax dollars get used to fight a war that Ukraine can’t win, and has no intention of ending, ever. Elon Musk is under the belief that US politicians are getting kickbacks for supporting the funding for Ukraine’s war with Russia. No one should be surprised about possible kickbacks, especially considering the obscene amount of money we’ve funneled into Ukraine—with zero oversight and absolutely no accountability,...

Allegedly false statements from Leslie Sloane of Vision PR include assertions that the "whole cast doesn't like Justin" and that "Blake was sexually assaulted." She says they aren't defamatory.Blake Lively‘s public relations representative is arguing that she should be dismissed from the legal standoff between the actress and Justin Baldoni because she never defamed the It Ends With Us director.

She also argues that...

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said Thursday on CNN’s “OutFront” that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is illegal and unconstitutional. Host Erin Burnett said, “A group of 14 states tonight just filing a new lawsuit against DOGE, arguing that Elon Musk’s ascent to power in the Trump White House is unconstitutional.” Nessel said, “It’s a clear violation of The Appointments Clause, right? You know, the United States Constitution, it grants the President of the United States the ability with advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint cabinet secretaries and directors over particular agencies. But Elon Musk in...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), notorious for his endless witch hunts and conspiracy theories, had the gall to lecture Vice President J.D. Vance on the sanctity of the rule of law while simultaneously applauding Joe Biden’s blatant disregard for a Supreme Court decision. This comes after Vance highlighted the dangers of judicial overreach into executive duties, an analogy drawn from his own military and legal expertise after an Obama-appointed judge blocked the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing a crucial Treasury payment system. “If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that...

alifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed two bills Friday providing $50 million to fight President Donald Trump’s policies — after returning from a trip to Washington, DC, where he sought federal aid money for recent wildfires in his state. Both bills were passed after a special legislative session called by Newsom after the election to prepare California to lead the opposition to the second Trump administration. Newsom and the Democrat-controlled legislature reached a deal to fund the anti-Trump effort even as the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire were still smoldering in Los Angeles. One bill, SBX1-1, provides for “additional funding...
