But Trump is being tried on this?🤬

Michigan Wolverines, SEC or ACC school? Sounds insane, right? Turns out it may not be as crazy as it sounds, if a report from Sports Illustrated’s Michael Rosenberg is to be believed. Rosenberg reported that the University of Michigan’s board of regents met last week to discuss the possibility of leaving the Big Ten conference entirely. The regents were, as of last week, concerned the conference commissioner Tony Petitti might suspend head coach Jim Harbaugh over the Connor Stalions scandal without due process. And then Petitti suspended Jim Harbaugh because of the sign stealing scandal without due process. OutKick’s Trey...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) called for an “independent investigation” into the bombing of a Gaza Strip hospital on Monday, continuing her refusal to accept US and Israeli findings they say show Islamic Jihad terrorists were behind the atrocity. “Media outlets and third-party analysts have raised doubts about claims and evidence offered by both Israel and the Gaza Ministry of Health, and I agree with the United Nations that an independent investigation is necessary,” Tlaib said in a statement. “I cannot uncritically accept Israel’s denials of responsibility as fact, especially in light of confirmation from the World Health Organization that Israel...

Biden, Jr.,” will be conducted by the House Oversight Committee and focus on “constitutional and legal questions” related to allegations Biden was improperly involved in his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings, according to a committee aide.

EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden was spotted apparently sneaking out the backdoor of a yoga shop while on vacation with his father, President Biden, in Nevada on Wednesday. Video obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital shows Hunter Biden, who was wearing an American flag hat he has been pictured wearing before, leave through the backdoor of the Lake Tahoe, Nevada, establishment before putting his head down out of the view of cameras. The president's son then ducked behind several black SUVs while flanked by Secret Service officers. The spotting comes during the Biden family's nine-day vacation, which began this week, in Lake...

The photo shows a man holding a baby dolphin out of the water in Nassau County, which is near Jacksonville. The dolphin is now believed to be dead. Both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are now investigating the incident.

resident Biden and his family are huddling in secrecy this week at an exclusive home on the shores of Lake Tahoe in Nevada amid the special counsel investigation into his son Hunter.

On Tuesday, The New York Times reported that the corrupt New Jersey Democrat Senator Bob Menendez is once again under investigation by the Department of Justice for violation of Congressional ethics rules. This is the second time in less than a decade that Menendez has been investigated for corruption and ethics violations. Despite this troubling pattern, the leftist networks seem uninterested in covering this latest report on Democrat political corruption. Honestly, it's even shocking The New York Times covered it. Perhaps because they're right across the river from Menendez they felt obligated. Instead of reporting on the DOJ probe of...

Carlee Russell could be on the hook for at least part of the cost of the law enforcement investigation into her disappearance which ended up being a hoax, according to a former FBI agent. Russell, 24, went missing on July 13 at around 9:34 p.m. after reporting a toddler walking along the southbound side of Interstate 459 near Birmingham, Alabama, according to the Hoover Police Department. The 24-year-old woman returned home at around 10:45 p.m. and police say she was seen walking along the sidewalk in the area beforehand.

Donald Trump Jr. highlighted the hypocrisy of the swamp during an interview with Breitbart News on Saturday, noting that if he were “within 1,000 miles of D.C.” when cocaine was found in the White House, “it would be a real problem.” When asked how the cocaine incident at the White House would be different if former President Donald Trump were in office, Donald Trump Jr. said it would likely be treated much, much differently. “I have a feeling,” he began during an exclusive interview at the Turning Point Action Conference in West Palm Beach, Florida. “I have a feeling that...

White House aide John Kirby said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that the inconclusive investigation into who brought cocaine into the West Wing was handled properly. Anchor Shannon Bream asked, “I want to talk about a national security issue that is domestic and that is cocaine in the White House.” She added, “Certainly you can understand that Americans, many of them, first of all, are aghast that there was ever cocaine in the White House. We heard reports of marijuana a couple of times found there last year as well. But more importantly it is that the...

GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie weighed in on the investigation of President Biden’s son Hunter Biden and the plea deal reached in the case, calling the probe as well as the U.S. attorney who oversaw it not truthful or incompetent. “U.S. Attorney [David] Weiss has to explain himself and he has to explain himself in public,” Christie told Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday. “You know, the fact is that this investigation of Hunter Biden in Delaware is either a lie or it’s incompetent. There’s no way that it should take five years to get to a two count misdemeanor...

Lawyers are questioning whether the Delaware attorney's office kicked their most experienced prosecutors off the Hunter Biden case – just before they filed minor charges against the president's son. Whistleblowers who ran the IRS criminal probe into Hunter for five years told Congress about their travails with veteran Delaware prosecutors Lesley Wolf, Shawn Weede, and Shannon Hanson. But in a letter to a federal judge last week announcing the charges against Hunter, Delaware US Attorney David Weiss listed three different prosecutors who have apparently had no previous involvement in the case – leading to questions of a last-minute overhaul by...

Either the attorney general of the United States or the U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware is lying about the investigation into Hunter Biden's alleged tax crimes. Jonathan Turley laid the situation out three days ago:"I'm not the deciding official."Those five words, allegedly from Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, shocked IRS and FBI investigators in a meeting on October 22, 2022. This is because, in refusing to appoint a special counsel, Attorney Garland Merrick Garland had repeatedly assured the public and Congress that Weiss had total authority over his investigation.IRS supervisory agent Gary A. Shapley Jr. told Congress he...

A Texas bishop with a history of conservative activism and criticism of Pope Francis received a Vatican-ordered “visitation” that ended on June 23, but the reasons behind the investigation remain uncertain. An apostolic visitation is a rare procedure that can be invoked by the Vatican to review a diocese’s leadership and can lead to disciplinary action, according to the Catholic News Agency. A spokesperson for the Tyler Diocese confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation that the meeting with Bishop Joseph Strickland had taken place but declined to comment on whether Strickland’s public comments on social issues and the Pope...
