'He has a monstrous gift of bulls**t,' former colleague says. Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida built his political career with stories of heroism in the U.S. Army and as a private military operative, but several former colleagues say he exaggerated or lied about being “blown up” twice in Iraq, being an Army Ranger, training as an 18 Delta Special Forces Medical Sergeant, being a military-trained sniper, and saving the lives of two soldiers wounded by enemy fire. They also allege he walked away from his post in Iraq when his employer asked him to verify his service record. As...

Maine Gov. Janet Mills will be one of the recipients of the Human Rights Award from the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization. A ceremony will be held next month. Mills will receive the award because of her battle with President Donald Trump’s administration over transgender athlete inclusion in women’s and girls’ sports.

Kennedy, a heroic champion for civil rights and the rule of law that governs our nation and inspires the world," Mills said in a news release. "Throughout my career as a District Attorney,...

Governor Janet Mills (D-ME) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump is not the law and his administration’s actions were “not rational” while discussing their transgender athletes dispute. Mills said, “Very unexpectedly the president called on me to answer a question that was unrelated to the topic at hand. I’ve been to the White House and talked to President Trump before, President Biden, President Obama, several presidents, always been a good conversation, exchange of ideas. This was different, very different, and when he said, ‘I am the law,’ basically, ‘we are the law,’ my jaw dropped, and...

The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) initiated an investigation into the Maine Department of Education (MDOE) on Friday for concealing children’s gender transitions from parents in a potential violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). “We have heard disturbing reports that dozens of Maine school districts allow for schools to create “gender plans” that support a student’s ‘transgender identity’ and then hide those plans from parents, claiming they don’t fall under education records. That is unacceptable and unlawful,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, announcing the investigation.

Whole Foods angered elected officials by announcing its plans to cease buying Maine lobsters after climate change groups downgraded the North Atlantic fishing area’s sustainability rating. Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills and its Congressional delegation sent a note to Whole Foods expressing their “disappointment” in the grocery store giant’s decision to stop buying Maine lobsters, according to the official letter Nov. 22.

A Chinese national living in the Guangdong Province, China, became the proud owner of a “fixer upper” in Penobscot County in February thanks, in part, to title transfer services provided by Paul H. Mills, the eldest brother of Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D). Xiling Ou, 44, of Malden, Mass., was the original owner of the ramshackle house and its three-bay garage, along with nine-acres of land, located at 51 Cider Hill in Corinna. But 13 days after the Penobscot Sheriff’s Department and Homeland Security agents raided an illegal marijuana grow just five miles away, she gifted the property to her...

How is this not national news?? 🚨 Democrat Governor of Maine Janet Mills’ brother pocketed $22 million into his shell company that was meant for towns in Maine “A year before she took office, her brother Peter Mills, received $22 million through a shell company called Western Mountains and Rivers Corporation.

When Janet Mills assumed office a year later, she immediately approved CMP to clear cut in 145 mile corridor through Western Maine without the endorsement of any of...

The governor went on to explain that this new money flow, plus a similar assessment tax on pharmacies, would allow the state to leverage additional federal support. "We take that new federal funding, turn around, invest much of it back into higher reimbursement rates for both those ambulances and pharmacies, so they're basically made whole for that cost to begin with," Mills said.

In yet another blow to Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, the special counsel was forced to fire a top FBI agent after possible anti-Trump text messages were discovered. “ The agent, Peter Strzok, is considered one of the most experienced and trusted F.B.I. counterintelligence investigators. He helped lead the investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information on her private email account, and then played a major role in the investigation into links between President Trump’s campaign and Russia,” reports the New York Times. Chuck Ross of the Daily Caller combed through emails from...

Democratic strategist Aisha Mills claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the November elections are between former President Donald Trump’s “toxic masculinity” and Democrats’ tender “holistic sense of manhood.” Mills said, “Just speaking to someone who does not identify as a man, I have to say that stepping back, the thing that’s on display with this entire presidential campaign is a tale of two types of masculinity generally, whether black masculinity or otherwise. It is really about masculinity. What you see on one side is this toxic masculinity that is very much about patriarchal, it’s about bullying, it’s about locker...

Democratic strategist Aisha Mills claimed Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that former President Donald Trump “would absolutely try to exterminate people.” Monday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” Trump said, “How about allowing people to come to an open-border, not as 13,000 of which were murderers. Many of them murdered far more than one person. And they’re now happily living in the United States, you know. Now a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes. We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.” Host John Berman said, “Talking about the immigrants who come over, he was...

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was nearly assassinated Saturday night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks. Subsequent reports have revealed the numerous avoidable failures by the Secret Service to protect Trump and take out the gunman. Humiliating footage of petite females struggling to cover the 45th president and escort him out of harm’s way has also emerged. Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL), a former Army sniper and member of the 82nd Airborne Division and Joint Special Operations Command, was a guest Tuesday morning on CNN to discuss the aftermath...

Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) is pushing legislation to make it easier for gun owners in the state to have their firearms confiscated. Her push is being done in response to the October 25, 2023, Lewiston shootings, in which Robert Card killed 18 people. Maine already has a yellow flag law, which allows police to secure a judge’s order to confiscate firearms from a gun owner believed to be a threat to himself or others. On July 1, 2022, Maine Public Radio focused on Maine’s yellow flag law, suggesting it “could be a model for gun control” and noting the...

Florida Republican Cory Mills has rescued 32 Americans stranded in Israel as its fight against Hamas intensified. Today, photos of Mills, an Iraq veteran, emerged in which he was seen with a large group on a bus, leaving the war-torn country. Mills told The Floridian that he flew overnight yesterday to get to the combat zone to help. He provided similar help in September 2021 during the disastrous withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.

A brand new Republican member of Congress from Florida tweeted a shocking joke about the 2022 vicious home invasion beating of 82-year-old Paul Pelosi, husband of former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). “Finally,” slammed new Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.), “one less gavel in the Pelosi house for Paul to fight with in his underwear.” The ugly tweet was apparently Mills’ version of a celebration of the ascendency to House speaker of Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). Mills was also making fun of the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi, who was beaten with a hammer in the middle of the night last October...

Host of the “WokeAF”podcast Danielle Moodie-Mills said Saturday on MSNBC’s “Symone” that if former President Donald Trump is not indicted, it will turn the United States into a “banana republic.” Moodie-Mills said “I think what we saw from the bipartisan January 6 House Committee is, in fact, a thorough investigation and using Trump’s own people, in their own words, to lay out exactly the fact that, guess what, this was not just an act of happenstance, of people gettin caught up in the moment, that this was a plan, a strategic attack on our Capitol building and our democracy directed...

Maine Democrat Gov. Janet Mills is scrambling to stem political damage from revelations five weeks before the election that her administration was teaching students in an online curriculum that “MAGA” is racist. Both in Tuesday’s debate and in her campaign advertising, the vulnerable Democrat has attempted to fend off allegations about education improprieties from her Republican opponent, former Gov. Paul LePage.

Using the slogan “MAGA” is an example of covert racism and white supremacy, according to an instructional video available through Maine’s Department of Education. The video, found in a publicly accessible slideshow about what makes communities “welcoming and inclusive,” also lists a stunning variety of examples of covert racism and white supremacy in addition to “MAGA,” the tagline of former President Donald Trump’s successful 2016 presidential campaign.

Weeks after Politico reported that GOP congressional hopeful Cory Mills made his fortune selling tear gas used on Black Lives Matter demonstrators, the MAGA businessman boasted in a new ad that the “liberal media is crying about it” before suggesting he’d teargas them himself. “If the media wants to shed some real tears, I can help them out with that,” a smirking Mills says alongside footage of him shooting gas canisters.
