Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that the Trump administration’s refusal to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States represented the president stepping over a red line. Garcia said, “I think what’s really, really, really clear to us is that this is more than just about immigration or deportations, this is about a red line in the sand that Donald Trump is now stepping over. the fact that he’s unwilling or unwilling to listen to the supreme court, of which he appointed conservative judges, justices to, is a fire alarm moment in this...

Tuesday on FBN’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) acknowledged the short-term pain associated with the Trump administration’s tariff policy but acknowledged there would be tangible benefits in the long term. According to the Louisiana Republican lawmaker, the proof was in other nations’ efforts to negotiate a resolution with the United States. “[T]he problem is, is, with all of this uncertainty around tariffs, this bill becomes so much more important, just for clarity for the markets, so that we don’t see a deterioration in market value. The White House says almost 70 countries have reached out to negotiate on...

More than 200 people aboard a still-at-sea Cunard Line cruise bound for New York, including members of the crew, contracted norovirus in the latest cruise ship outbreak of the nasty stomach bug. Of the 2,538 guests on Cunard’s Queen Mary 2, 224 reported getting ill on the current voyage along with 17 crew members, this month, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The cruise departed from Southampton, England on March 8 to set out for New York and later the Caribbean. The entire journey, however, doesn’t conclude until April 6, leaving the rest of the guests stuck...

A crowd of over 1,000 Cuban-Americans and supporters of the anti-communist cause rallied in front of the White House on Tuesday in support of President Donald Trump’s Cuba policies and urging him to take more stringent action to contain the malicious influence of the Castro regime. The rally took place on the anniversary of the birthday of José Martí, Cuba’s most influential writer and freedom fighter, in 1853. It was convened by Miami-based commentator Alexander Otaola and featured the presence of several prominent members of the Cuban-American community of Florida. The congregants urged President Trump to adopt measures to restrict...

Donald Trump promised he's 'not looking for retribution' when he enters the White House in January despite vowing to throw his enemies in jail on the campaign trail. Despite the assurance, however, Trump pointed out he 'obviously' has the 'upper hand' and declared that he would draw the line after a certain amount of betrayal. 'I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension,' he told Fox News Digital. 'I am always looking to give a second and even third chance, but never willing to give a fourth...

The head of the world's largest and most ambitious construction project has stepped down amid jaw-dropping claims about its death toll. As the Wall Street Journal reports, Nadhmi al-Nasr, the CEO of Saudi Arabia's futuristic city project Neom — which includes The Line, a planned pair of skycrapers that would be 100 miles in length — has abruptly departed the role he's held since 2018. This exit comes after a new Channel 3 documentary alleged that more than 21,000 foreign workers had died during its construction, a figure that doesn't even seem to include the number of indigenous people displaced...

Saudi Arabia has been left humiliated after being forced to scale back its multi-trillion-dollar plans for a 106-mile linear megacity in the desert to just over one per cent of its original length. The ambitious project, named the Line, forms part of the kingdom's lucrative Neom infrastructure project - which had been slated to cost up to $1.5trillion.

When I first read about Neom in October 2017, it was a crazy, whacked-out idea for a pop-up city in the desert of Saudi Arabia. When completed, it will be 33 times the size of New York City. Today, Saudi officials say it is 20% completed, and this video proves it.

Russia expressed mounting fury at the prospect of modern Western tanks being sent to Ukraine. The Kremlin's spokesman described it as an "absurd" plan that scuppers the prospect of talks to end the war. The Russian Embassy in Berlin called the German government's decision "extremely dangerous" and said it "takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation."

A Venezuelan teenage migrant's journey to the United States-Mexico border endured a heartbreaking moment when he had to separate himself from the pet dog who accompanied him on his long journey. Brayan Pinto, 18, and his small fluffy white dog, Brandy, traveled through several Central and South America countries, a treacherous tropical jungle in Panama, and all the way north through Mexico in order to seek asylum with the United States government. Brandy was given to Pinto two years ago by his mother before she passed away. 'Leaving her is like leaving a family member, like leaving a sister, a...

This is a continuation of my previous post reviewing my experience with Front Line Doctors. My last post ended with me waiting til today, Monday August 16, 2021, to hear from Berkley pharmacy. I decided to call them at 3pm. The phone just rang and rang, no answering machine nobody home at 586 573 8300. So then I texted 863 875 5700 at 3:30pm so I wouldn’t have to stay on hold. This number is supposed to be to “Ravkoo”. 20 minutes later I got a call from Berkley Pharmacy and spoke to someone with an Indian accent. He told...

My "friend" needs to be able to continuously paint a continuous line, on pavement. This line will be about 8 inches wide and about three hundred feet long. Neatness is NOT a factor. Time is the most important criteria. A couple of questions? About how much blue paint will this require? Does anyone know of or have suggestions on how to paint this line quickly, in less than 10 minutes? Could the paint be practically applied from the bed of a truck? Do inexpensive, easy to use, "line painting" machines exist? Could two or three teams of two people with...

With the focus on political talk shows in the wake of the BOR episode, it's a good time to consider another format, one that Buckley kept alive 33 years.

Years of crippling socialist policies have left Venezuela so bereft of food, average Venezuelans must spent up to six hours waiting in line to received their allotted rations of basic goods like vegetable oil, flour, or milk. Musician Jonathan Acosta has offered to help ease the frustration by visiting supermarkets and performing for those waiting in line.

The country is craving a TRUE LEADER that will return absolute power & strength to America and "deep-six" this PC nonsense, especially in our foreign policy. No more "deballed" leadership now that DJT is in town. Therefore, I thought his line of the night in this debate was "Believe me...they will do what I tell them...believe me"(!) emphasis added

Via the Examiner, count me in with John Nolte and Sean Davis in wondering why this grand humiliation is being treated as a Hillary scandal instead of a media scandal. Clinton advance aides create a rope line for the press, moving with the candidate pic.twitter.com/9S7CpVt7x4— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) July 4, 2015 Davis: It was a truly embarrassing spectacle, but not for Hillary Clinton. It was embarrassing for the press, because they willingly allow this nonsense to keep happening. It almost appears as though America’s political media are suffering from something approaching Battered Reporter Syndrome: yeah, she tied us up, but...

The US took some hard shots on Monday in the UN Human Rights Council periodic review of its human rights record, admitting that it “crossed the line” and “did not live up to our values” in its interrogation of detainees during the George W. Bush administration. Coming on the heels of a federal investigation into Baltimore authorities’ handling of the police shooting of African-American Freddie Gray, the US representatives, led by Ambassador Keith Harper and State Department Acting Legal Adviser Mary McLeod, also said that it should “do better” in police conduct toward minorities. The UN review – which also...

At least five people were rushed to the hospital with burns after a “major gas line explosion” at the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office gun range, a department official said. The blast occurred about 2:30 p.m. behind the range in an area under construction, said Lt. John Zanoni. The injured did not include Sheriff’s Office employees, he said. No firearms were involved in the explosion. Fresno Fire Department spokesman Pete Martinez said witnesses reported a “ball of fire” that burned multiple people.
