NEW YORK, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Colonial Pipeline's main U.S. gasoline artery is expected to remain shut through Friday as the company continues to search for the source of a suspected leak in Paulding County, Georgia, the company said in a statement on Wednesday. Line 1, one of two mainlines on the more than 5,500-mile Colonial system, was shut on Monday night after Colonial received reports of a gasoline release. The pipeline moves gasoline from Texas to North Carolina and was earlier expected to resume service on Tuesday night, according to market sources. "Colonial continues on-site work to identify the...

Washington state Democrats appeared to have accidentally emailed their sweeping revenue plans and internal talking points on tax hikes to the entirety of the upper chamber’s members in Olympia, Fox News has learned. Property tax hikes and a new double-digit tax on firearms are among proposals Washington state Democrats are considering, according to materials originally disseminated to all members by Washington Senate Deputy Floor Leader Noel Frame, D-Seattle, in late December and later obtained by Fox News Digital. A document titled “2025 Revenue Options” and a PowerPoint presentation describing how to talk to constituents in defense of the plan were...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is being slammed as a traitor following damning claims he instructed administrators at Columbia University to dismiss any criticism of the school’s handling of blatant violence and antisemitism on campus in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel. The GOP-lead House Education and Workforce Committee in a 325-page report contended the New York Democrat advised then-university president Minouche Shafik that the school would be spared any scrutiny by Democrats, explaining the elite university’s “political problems are really only among Republicans.”His staff then encouraged Columbia administrators that the “best strategy is to keep...

KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed Wednesday that he asked the United States for Tomahawk long-range missiles to help defeat Russia — and slammed the White House for leaking secrets to the American media.

The ceasefire proposal between Israel and Hezbollah that the US is pushing begins with a 60-day implementation period, during which time the Lebanese army will deploy along the border and confiscate Hezbollah arms in southern Lebanon, according to a draft agreement published by Kan news. IDF forces will exit Lebanon within seven days of the end of hostilities and will be replaced by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), with UN peacekeepers facilitating the transition. Ultimately, there will be 10,000 LAF troops along the border with Israel. At the end of the 60 days, Israel and Lebanon will hold indirect negotiations...

U.S. Air Force Captain Daniel Alwan breached operational security, revealing in a now-deleted post that he’s in Israel preparing for a strike on Iran. Meanwhile, ten U.S. Air Force Stratotankers—critical for mid-air refueling of fighter jets—were spotted en route to the Middle East. Is the Biden-Harris administration likely to lead us into a war before the election?

Iranian general Qassem Soleymani was a master terrorist who orchestrated atrocities around the world that claimed thousands of lives, including hundreds if not thousands of Americans. That was the default position after President Trump took out Soleymani last week. The Democrats’ furious reaction overlooked realities about the Iranian regime in general and Soleymani in particular. Israel had also targeted the Quds Force commander, but according to the Kuwaiti Al-Jarida, the Obama administration tipped off the Tehran regime. Soleymani emerged unscathed and continued to spearhead the Islamic regime’s military and terrorist operations. Those were funded by criminal activity, and on that...

A newly leaked phone call between Arizona’s Democratic statewide officeholders reveals how they scrambled to find a narrative before announcing a statewide error that validated the citizenship of nearly 100,000 voters. “It’s going to validate all of their theories about illegal voting in our elections,” said Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs on the call obtained by the Washington Post. “They’re going to be calling for new 2020 and ’22 elections as well,” Hobbs worried, referencing her own election that she rigged and stole from Kari Lake last midterm cycle. Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes admitted that “all of these elections are...

Late last week, there was word that an ABC News whistleblower was set to expose both the network and the Kamala Harris presidential campaign for allegedly rigging the network's Sept. 10th debate in the Democrat nominee's favor and against former President Donald Trump. The information that they said would be revealed was that Harris was given advance notice on what questions would be asked, and that Trump would be fact-checked live. Now, the whistleblower has released a sworn, notarized statement, which is dated Sept. 9, 2024--the day before the debate. They say the Kamala Harris campaign allegedly "restricted the scope"...

RFK Jr apologized for the leak.

Was the “leak” actually strategic? Could it have been a clever reverse psychology maneuver? Think about it in terms of Trump deliciously pouring gasoline on an already raging dumpster fire. Democrats — to spite their arch nemesis — then are forced to rally behind the dead man walking. Brilliant Trump move, if true.

In a new video leaked Thursday on social media, former US President Donald Trump is seen cursing US President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump is seen in the footage in a golf cart next to his son Barron, saying: "How did I do with the debate the other night against that that old broken down pile of c---?" "He's a bad guy. He just quit you know, he's quitting. I got him out of the race," Trump boasted. "That means we have Kamala. I think she's going to be even better. She's so bad, she's so...

Google issued a statement, cautioning against assumptions based on "incomplete information." What you need to know Rand Fishkin of SparkToro received and published documents detailing Google Search's internal APIs, search ranking factors, and Google's data collection practices. Some leaked information contradicts Google's public statements about search algorithms and ranking factors. The documents were accidentally made public on GitHub from March 27 to May 7 and later indexed by a third-party service. A massive leak of what seems to be thousands of internal documents offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of Google Search, suggesting that Google may have been...

Ford issued a recall for 42,652 examples of its 2022-2023 Bronco Sport and 2022 Escape SUVs to address a fuel leak caused by a cracked fuel injector. Vehicles equipped with 1.5-liter EcoBoost engines are included in the recall. The fix includes the installation of a drain tube to redirect any leaking fuel from the engine to the ground along with a software update that adds fuel injector leak detection to the engine control unit. This might sound eerily familiar to owners of these particular vehicles. Back in November of 2022, Ford issued a much larger recall covering a similar range...

The Minnesota-based Internet provider U.S. Internet Corp. has a business unit called Securence, which specializes in providing filtered, secure email services to businesses, educational institutions and government agencies worldwide. But until it was notified last week, U.S. Internet was publishing more than a decade’s worth of its internal email — and that of thousands of Securence clients — in plain text out on the Internet and just a click away for anyone with a Web browser. Headquartered in Minnetonka, Minn., U.S. Internet is a regional ISP that provides fiber and wireless Internet service. The ISP’s Securence division bills itself “a...

At least no one can say that the January 6 committee didn’t have an impact! Greg Abbott, Kristi Noem, Henry McMaster, and their families will have to guard against identity theft for the rest of their lives, thanks to the committee’s work in exposing their Social Security numbers. How many numbers got exposed? “Around 1900” of them, according to the Washington Post, which came from White House visitor logs supplied to the committee. The J6 committee failed to redact those from a spreadsheet released to the public as part of its final report on the riot. Ben Carson, a Trump...

Former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) consultant Charles Littlejohn was arrested on Friday in connection with leaking thousands of tax returns, including former President Donald Trump’s, to the media. Littlejohn now faces up to five years in federal prison. While working for the IRS between 2018 and 2021, Littlejohn allegedly stole thousands of taxpayer information dating back 15 years. “He thereafter disclosed the tax information associated with Public Official A to News Organization 1, and the other tax information to News Organization 2,” the documents read. “Both News organizations published numerous articles describing the tax information they obtained from the Defendant,”...

I have become increasing skeptical of much of what is transpiring in our government. AT writers and readers inspire me to question everything. Some recent events have caused me to pause and ask some questions about "why now?" When something was forbidden to even talk or write about for years, and suddenly some agencies are all in on discussing it, I am often left to ask: is this really the thing, or is it perhaps a distraction? For nearly three years, Dr. Fauci and company have destroyed any and all who dared to say COVID leaked from the Wuhan Institute...

Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz jumped to Gov. Ron DeSantis’s defense after leaked footage of the governor’s 2018 debate preparations made it to ABC News. In the clip, Rep. Gaetz asked then-Congressman DeSantis, “Is there any issue upon which you disagree with President Trump?”

As we’ve reported, over the last few days Media Matters has been publishing leaked behind-the-scenes videos of Tucker Carlson talking with his “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show staff. The conventional wisdom is that someone at Fox is behind the leaks and that they’re part of a campaign by Fox to smear Carlson due to the backlash the network is receiving after it unceremoniously dumped the most popular talk show host in the country.Fox News is trying to destroy Tucker (it’s drip drip drip every day with the hits). Truly disgusting behavior, most likely by their chief PR hack Irena Briganti but...
