President Biden claimed in a long-winded anecdote on Monday that his great-grandfather was rumored to have been part of a group of coal miners that would kill anti-Catholic mine foremen and lay the dead bodies “on the doorstep” of their families’ homes. Vice President Kamala Harris nodded along as the 81-year-old president spun the strange yarn during his remarks to union workers in Pittsburgh, Pa., joking that he was “disappointed” to learn that his great-grandfather Edward Francis Blewitt was not a member of the “Molly Maguires.” “I remember when my great-grandfather was only the second Catholic elected statewide in the...

Just want to point out that the "Killer Kamala" mantra as shouted by pro-Hamas protesters at the DNC isn't just crazy talk. Although these protesters are referring to Biden-Harris' policies and it's affect on Gazans, the term "Killer Kamala" is highly appropriate regarding her role as Border Czar.OVER 3 YEARS AGO Biden assigned Kamala Harris as Border Czar. Not only did Kamala not visit any relevant border areas where incursions are a problem, when asked about it she laughed as she did NOTHING about the invasion. CINO! (Czar In Name Only!).What Kamala DID do is SIT BACK AND WATCH as...

The brother-in-law of fallen San Francisco cop Isaac Espinoza said he’s voting for Donald Trump – and that his own family’s tragedy makes this personal.

For years, a peaceful, million-dollar farm in Indiana hid a dark secret: It was a serial killer’s playground. When cops finally raided Herb Baumeister’s 18-acre property in Westfield, north of Indianapolis, they uncovered some 10,000 pieces of human remains — mostly crushed and burned skeletal fragments of the teenage boys and young men whom he had abducted and murdered in the 1980s and ’90s. Nearly 30 years after Baumeister killed himself while on the run from police, authorities are still sifting through the remains and identifying victims.
