Jim Ferguson @JimFergusonUK 🔥 WOW. You actually can’t make this up… Hakeem Jeffries just stood in front of the cameras and claimed: • “It’s a lie.” • “It’s a clown show.” • “I never met Epstein.” • “I never took his money.” Except… the financial records exist. The emails exist. The transactions are documented. You can deny reality, but you can’t erase a paper trail. For YEARS the American people were told that anyone who asked questions about Epstein was a conspiracy theorist. Now the very people who screamed “transparency!” are panicking because their own names are surfacing. The hypocrisy...

Several congressional Democrats filed police complaints over social media posts from President Donald Trump calling for them to face arrest and even punishment by death after they advised U.S. service members to defy illegal orders. At least three lawmakers — Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) — said they contacted U.S. Capitol Police and filed complaints about Trump’s threats, which they said has undermined their personal safety and the safety of their offices. Though the complaints are unlikely to result in any further action by Capitol Police, it marks an escalation in the tensions simmering...

Former President George W. Bush and his family are reportedly planning to retake the Republican Party from President Donald Trump once he is out of office, according to a recent report. There are allegedly “rumors” stirring that there is a “plot to end the so-called ‘Bush Exile'” as part of an effort to take control of the GOP from Trump and his Make America Great Again (MAGA) policies […] One person, who is described as a “former Bush official,” told the outlet that Trump “knows that there’s no third term option,” while admitting that Vice President JD Vance “has a...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton escalated her criticism of President Donald Trump on Monday, pointing to a new report describing internal turmoil at the Justice Department that she says shows a level of political interference unparalleled in modern history. On Monday, Clinton posted on X, sharing a New York Times Magazine article detailing accounts from about 60 current and former attorneys who described a year of "chaos" inside the Trump Justice Department. The report outlines allegations that Trump repeatedly pushed DOJ officials to pursue political opponents and protect close allies, often against internal legal recommendations. "New information here on...

A firm representing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) solicited Jeffrey Epstein for donations and to get him to attend a dinner with then-President Barack Obama, newly released files revealed. Thousands of pages of documents from Epstein’s estate published by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week included a 2013 email from a representative of Jeffries’ asking Epstein to meet with and give money to the Democrat leader. House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) exposed the email on the House floor during consideration of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed 427-1: https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/1990866192358055989 New York City-based firm Dynamic...

Kamala Harris is back once again with an extremely interesting new angle on her 2024 election failure. Her memoir "107 Days" was released a couple of months ago, and she is about to wrap up her book tour (one that Democrats aren't too wild about, by the way) with a final stop on November 20. Not too terribly long ago, Harris told Stephen Colbert she was stepping away from politics because the "system is broken" — only to tease a 2028 run at the end of October. Now she's back, and she's rewriting history once again with a wild claim...

Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau said on Monday that it was conducting a large-scale operation to uncover corruption in the country's energy sector. "The activities of a high-level criminal organization have been documented," the bureau said about the investigation which involves 1,000 hours of audio recordings and took 15 months of work. "Its members have built a large-scale corruption scheme to influence strategic enterprises in the public sector, in particular JSC 'Energoatom'," according to the post on the Telegram messaging app.

Democrats are seething after news emerged on Sunday that eight members of their Senate caucus had collaborated with Republicans on crafting a compromise to end the longest government shutdown in US history, without winning any healthcare concessions that they had sought. But one name is coming in for more opprobrium than any other: Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader who had led the Democrats’ weeks-long stand against reopening the government without an extension of tax credits that lower premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plans. If the results of the crucial Sunday vote are any indication, the outcome Democrats...

Emergency services rushed to push the President of India's helicopter after it became stuck in freshly poured concrete. The incident unfolded on Wednesday morning as President Droupadi Murmu landed on a temporary helipad in the Indian village of Pramadom, with the chopper seen sinking into the ground. Footage on social media shows how firefighters and members of the police scrambled to pull the helicopter out, but to no avail. According to local media, the temporary helipad had been prepared overnight following a decision to divert the President's helicopter from its original destination in Nilakkal due to weather conditions. Concrete had...

President Trump is rejecting visas for fat people. The Trump administration has ordered visa officers to deny immigrants who are obese or have certain health issues, in yet another instance of the president’s strange obsession with fat people. A Thursday directive from the State Department, sent to embassies and consulates around the world, indicates that people applying for visas to the United States may be rejected if they have certain medical conditions, on the grounds that they could take up domestic health care resources. “You must consider an applicant’s health,” the cable read. “Certain medical conditions—including, but not limited to,...

A federal judge Friday issued a permanent injunction barring President Donald Trump from deploying National Guard troops from any state to Oregon, finding the president exceeded his authority.“Even giving great deference to the President’s determination, the President did not have a lawful basis to federalize the National Guard,” U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut ruled in a 106-page opinion.Immergut’s injunction follows a three-day trial she held last week and a brief, preliminary order she issued on Monday. Friday’s injunction offers a much more detailed examination of the law and conditions in Portland leading up to Trump’s Sept. 27 authorization of...

FIRST ON FOX: An Empire State Republican is criticizing New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani for his attendance at a conference in Puerto Rico, days after winning his race and during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. "If Zohran Mamdani is truly serious about helping working families, he wouldn’t be jetting off to a luxury resort the moment he wins an election," Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., first told Fox News Digital. Fox News Digital confirmed that Mamdani is expected to travel to the 2025 SOMOS Conference in Puerto Rico on Thursday. Mamdani is attending a cocktail reception on Thursday...

Charlie Kirk, the conservative influencer who was assassinated in September, and Nick Fuentes, the young Hitler-loving white nationalist at the center of a growing schism on the right, were bitter enemies. Fuentes despised Kirk for his support of Israel, and, more broadly, for his efforts to marginalize Fuentes’s gleefully racist and fascist brand of politics. In 2019, seeking to expose Kirk as “anti-white” and a “fake patriot,” Fuentes organized his army of young fans — known as Groypers, after a variant on the alt-right Pepe the Frog meme — to flood events held by Kirk’s organization, Turning Point, and ask...

With the strong possibility that Democratic Marxist-Islamist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani may be elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday night, Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s sights are squarely on New Yorkers. Anticipating the mass escape from New York that might occur with a Mamdani victory, Abbott wrote on X, “After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.” This move fits neatly into Abbott’s broader pattern of blending culture-war politics with aggressive state policy. Over the past year, he has made it clear that leftist ideologies — especially in...

Making a series of wild comments, Rep Ilhan Omar (D-MN) slammed ICE and CBP agents for allegedly abducting people without identification, alongside military deployment on U.S. streets, disregarding states’ rights, and creating a constitutional crisis. In an even more objectionable comment, she stated that her home country, Somalia, was less tyrannical than the US. Additionally, she warned that America is devolving into an authoritarian state, betraying the founding fathers’ vision. Beginning her theatrical remarks, Omar whined about the “Masked, armed men who are in plain clothes that are snatching people off the streets, unwilling to identify themselves. You have the...

[ CYPHER CODE #135 ] These sworn enemies share one goal: destroy the West. [ CYPHER CODE #136 ] Equality’s a joke when violence gets a pass. [ CYPHER CODE #137 ] Victims only matter when they’re useful. BRIEFING Jett here. There’s a video making the rounds out of the UK. It’s one of those clips that reminds you how broken everything’s become. Migrant men on one side, trans on the other, and in the middle is a society too polarized, confused, and afraid of the truth to say a word about it. Let’s get into it. If you missed...

Liberal white woman says she has “lost all hope” These people aren’t gonna make it 3 more years.. 🤣🤣 2:45 VIDEO AT LINK................... Enjoy!.......................

Chelsea Clinton is so concerned about Trump making improvements to the White House (that we're not paying for) that she ran to lefty rag USA TODAY to write a preening op-ed about how much better she and her family were to the White House. Or something. Sure, her dad had an inappropriate relationship in the Oval Office (notice we didn't say 'banging an intern,' we've matured), and her mom stole silver and furniture BUT she always knew it wasn't HER HOUSE. Ouch. Our sides. Uh huh. Blah blah blah. Me me me. Talk about sanctimonious drivol. Still, with less than...

The European Union will phase out all Russian oil imports by January 1, 2028. New contracts will be prohibited after January 2026; existing short-term contracts must cease by June 2026 and long-term contracts by January 2028. The EU still believes it can target 45% renewable energy by 2030 and reduce its reliance on fossil fuel entirely. These conditions are perfect for inflationary price spikes and bottlenecks leading to extreme volatility. Europe has dismantled its economy to support Ukraine. Cutting Russian gas imports reroutes the flow of capital across Europe and the globe. Alternative sources must be developed, infrastructure must be...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) struggled to respond after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) trolled him on Saturday with a photo of a demonstrator in a giant penis costume at a “No Kings” protest. The demonstrator in question, apparently at a rally in Portland, Oregon, held a sign that read: “Deport Deez Nuts.” “Breaking: Gavin Newsom has shown up to the riot!” the DHS account added as a caption to the photo. “You’re an embarrassment,” was all the governor could manage in reply, after months of trying to imitate President Donald Trump’s troll game on social media, a decidedly...
