Us Hunter Biden now the sacrifiacl lamb for the Democrats to use?

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the war with Iran had already been decided in America's favor. He told supporters in Hebron, Kentucky, that the conflict was effectively over almost as soon as it began. Trump said U.S. forces knocked out 58 Iranian naval vessels and eliminated the country’s air force. “Let me say we’ve won. You know, you never like to say too early you won. We won. We won, in the first hour it was over, but we won,” the president said. He added, “We don’t want to leave early, do we? We’ve got to finish the job."

Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was a no-show at his own succession rally in Tehran — and observers speculate that he’s either wounded or hiding out in fear. As thousands gathered on Monday to celebrate Khamenei’s appointment as the country’s new supreme leader, the nepo-baby mullah was represented by a mere portrait — one that was half the size of dad Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s. The portrait of the dead leader took up the center of the stage, according to state media footage of the event. “It’s either he’s out cold in a hospital, or he’s scared and hiding...

EXCLUSIVE: President Donald Trump rejected former President Joe Biden’s assertion of executive privilege over a tranche of documents requested by the Senate as part of various probes into the 46th president, determining it is "not in the best interests of the United States." White House counsel David Warrington wrote Monday in a letter addressed to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and obtained by Fox News Digital that Trump "does not uphold the former President’s assertion of privilege" over records sought in four congressional probes. The letter directs NARA to provide the materials to Congress. The dispute centers on...

Former President Joe Biden told mourners at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s memorial service Friday that he is “a hell of a lot smarter than most of you,” a pointed remark that stood out during his tribute to the late civil rights leader. Biden made the comment while recounting how he was mocked as a child for his stutter and how speech impediments are often mistaken for a lack of intelligence. “If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed,” Biden said. “But it’s OK to laugh at stuttering. … It’s the one place...

Joe Biden is apparently going to visit South Carolina later this month to celebrate his ‘lifetime of public service’ and the primary win the state delivered to him in 2020 which is credited with saving his campaign.

Do you think the Obamas will be there? Would you...

Mayor Brandon Johnson HUMILIATED after LOSING CONTROL of Chicago Police Mayor Johnson issues EO ordering CPD to arrest ICE agents. CPD and other officials unanimously tell Brandon Johnson GFYS. Transcript linked below video.

Last week's FBI raid on a Georgia warehouse yielded approximately 700 boxes of ballots and other related materials from the 2020 election and was focused on finding evidence of possible fraud under statutes governing the conduct of election workers in the state's largest metropolitan area. The search warrant for the Fulton County election hub near Atlanta was signed by a federal magistrate and specifically cited Title 52 of the U.S. Code, Sections 20511 and 20701, according to sources in Georgia who have seen the still-sealed warrant. Those statutes govern the conduct of election workers when it comes to preserving records...

Former President Joe Biden, who oversaw what is widely considered the “worst border crisis in U.S. history,” took to social media on Tuesday to condemn the immigration crackdown happening in Minneapolis. Biden, 83, issued a statement following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti on Saturday by Border Patrol officers in the city, which occurred the same month as the fatal shooting of Renee Good during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation. The former president, who is still plagued with the scandal of the autopen and the apparent coverup of his mental deterioration, said the events that have unfolded in...

“Barack Obama has made a rare political statement to condemn Donald Trump's administration over the fatal shootings of two US citizens by immigration officers in Minnesota. 'The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy,' the former president wrote on X in the wake of the most recent horror on Sunday. 'It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.'”

How Chicago ended up governed by people unfit to govern anything Chicago’s governance failures are usually described as ideological in nature. We are told the city is run by people with unsound ideas — progressive excess, hostility to policing, disdain for markets, and a fondness for socialist abstractions. That diagnosis is not wrong. It is merely incomplete. Ideology does not arise spontaneously. The more revealing question is how a city repeatedly elevates people who hold such demonstrably false views of the world—and why those views are held with such confidence even as reality refutes them. The uncomfortable answer is that...

"Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro. As President, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy." 6/21/20

Last month, activists packed the Chicago Teachers Union Center for the annual conference of the National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression (NAARPR). Attendees gathered to discuss fighting ICE and confronting the Trump administration. Despite NAARPR’s relative obscurity—it was founded in 1973 to agitate for the release of Angela Davis and has since become a catch-all activist organization—the group’s conference featured several high-profile speakers, including Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson, who claimed to have inherited a “white supremacist system.” The event was hosted by the Chicago Teachers Union, one of Johnson’s most aggressive backers. Johnson’s appearance, along with that of several...

Maintenance problems affecting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve are in the spotlight after oil releases under former President Joe Biden. President Donald Trump pledged to replenish the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve after the Biden administration sold nearly 200 million barrels of its stock — but that won’t be as simple as buying more oil. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy this week that SPR drawdowns under former President Joe Biden resulted in structural damage to facilities. More than $100 million of repairs are needed to bring the storage facilities back to full capacity, Wright...

A potential veto of Chicago’s 2026 budget by Mayor Brandon Johnson could trigger the Windy City's first-ever municipal shutdown. Johnson reportedly rebuked the budget passed by council over the weekend, which lacks the mayor’s favored per-employee "head tax" on corporations, as "morally bankrupt." If Johnson were to veto the budget, it would place the onus back on city council to rehash a plan that could get signed before Dec. 30 – or plunge the city into shutdown. City Council lacks any Republican representation – with a Democratic majority of 48 plus two independents, so the situation represents a clash within...

The White House/Wikimedia Commons/Public Domain. Not only did the Obama and Biden Administrations go to great lengths to protect Hillary Clinton, they went to unconstitutional lengths to get Trump. The Obama-Biden Administration prevented agents investigating Hillary Clinton from reviewing some eight thumb drives of intel based on purported concerns over executive and congressional privilege, newly released documents reveal. This reality renders last month’s revelation that the Biden Administration approved Special Counsel Jack Smith’s subpoenaing of congressional Republicans’ toll records even more appalling — and the Democrats’ weaponization of the criminal justice system even more obvious and outrageous. Last week, Sen....

Five years after the fact, Georgia election officials have admitted that 315,000 votes in the 2020 presidential election lacked the necessary signature from poll workers and should not have been counted. President Donald Trump was unjustly indicted for alleging just such a violation of election security. A bombshell report out last week in The Federalist from journalist Brianna Lyman provides all the details on what should be considered one of the biggest election-related scandals in American history. As she relays, election officials in Fulton County, Georgia, the most populous in the state, admitted to failing “to sign off on the...

ELECTION INTEGRITY: Fulton County told the Georgia State Election Board it does not dispute 315,000 early votes in 2020 were illegally counted giving Biden the win. Fulton County produced no signed tabulator tapes for roughly 315,000 early votes in 2020, according to evidence presented to the Georgia State Election Board. At a Dec 9 hearing, county lawyer Ann Brumbaugh said the county does not dispute the tapes were not signed and called it a rule violation. Georgia’s Secretary of State investigation summary substantiated that 36 of 37 advanced voting precincts failed to sign the tapes required by statute.

For those who understand the basics of attrition warfare, the outcome of the fight in Ukraine was obvious a long time ago. Russia's superior logistical position along with its grinding offensive tactics have worn down Ukraine's defenses and left the country with a desperate manpower shortage. The recent capture of the vital hub of Pokrovsk has now opened the door to an accelerating Russian advance. The Russian offensive is gaining significant ground from Pokrovsk to the north, all the way to Kupiansk. The strategic city of Siversk is now largely under control of Russia according to geo-location mapping. Myrnohrad, also...

The Biden Presidential Library has recently suffered a series of setbacks caused by a lack of funding. The initial presidential library was envisioned to eclipse the Obama Presidential Library (aka Obama Death Star) however those plans have been scaled back significantly by the lack of donor largesse. Donations from persons pardoned in the last moments of his presidency have been severely curtailed when President Trump declared those autopen pardons null and void. Even with these setbacks, Slow Joe declared he will march forward with the project even though he will have to scale it back somewhat. The Biden Presidential Library...
