A Nazi rally it was not. Madison Square Garden, the greatest arena in the world, where America’s most celebrated icons have taken the stage, was packed to the rafters with patriotic Americans cheering on the formidable ensemble of Donald “Captain America” Trump and the Avengers, as some of his surrogates call themselves. Trump’s hometown, deep blue New York — whose unpopular Democrat leaders have tried to lock him up — welcomed the former president back as a conquering hero, filling the stadium to bursting, with thousands more New Yorkers lining the route from Trump Tower to cheer his motorcade. But...

My brother Nicholas Spyridon Kass has made foreign policy his life’s work, knowing that the world is a dangerous place and many out there hate us, and want us dead, or as their slaves. Or perhaps they dream of using us as their jesters, to kneel near their feast tables, so they can clean the grease from their fingers on our hair. Part of that work involved knowing and appreciating how American elected officials think about the world, and how they learn about the dangers for our county, how they process the information. Do they try to think independently? Or...

Hunter Biden’s abandoned MacBook was a window into the Biden family business, a secret international influence peddling operation. New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, who exposed many of Hunter’s secrets in her book “Laptop from Hell,” returns with “The Big Guy,” the story of how the FBI, the CIA, the State Department, the IRS and the Department of Justice conspired to protect Joe Biden and his family. Here, in a second exclusive excerpt, she explains the Ukrainian intrigue that surrounded Joe and Hunter:

Antony Blinken helped create the infamous "Dirty 51" letter from former intelligence officials that claimed The Post's reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation, Miranda Devine reports in her new book.. Hunter Biden’s abandoned MacBook was a window into the Biden family business, a secret international influence peddling operation. .. ... He would later recruit his childhood friend to be the Obama administration’s lead negotiator on the ill-starred Iran nuclear deal, only to suffer the embarrassment of Malley being suspended without pay in 2023 during Biden’s presidency, the target of a mysterious FBI espionage investigation which continues to this...

Democrats trying to dislodge Joe Biden will first have to combat the proxy commander in chief: Hunter Biden — and that’s easier said than done. With the Biden family digging in behind Joe staying put, any staffers or party grandees deputized to strong-arm Joe Biden out of being their candidate in November had better not underestimate the first son. While the focus has been on four-time Vogue cover girl Jill Biden and her screeching assurances that Joe is hale and hearty and fit for another four years, the first son has flown under the radar. But Hunter is glued to...

The house always wins. That’s what matters—fairness, impartiality, the very idea of a non-partisan application of the law be damned. Welcome to the end of the republic. I think that it was the great Miranda Devine, she of the “laptop from hell” fame, who first called the world’s attention to the latest wrinkle in the long-running “Get Trump” extravaganza in New York. Anyway, I first heard about it from her post on X Friday. “If this is legit,” she wrote, commenting on a letter purportedly from Acting Justice Juan Merchan to Donald Trump’s Counsel and the Manhattan DA’s office, “it...

The evolution of Hunter Biden laptop denial over the last three and a half years has been mind-boggling. You need a chart to keep up. First the laptop was a non-story (thanks, NPR). Then it was “hacked material” (thanks, Twitter). Then it was “Russian disinformation” (thanks, CIA). Then it was a “Russian plant” (thanks, Joe Biden). Then it was “stolen” by Russians. (Hunter weighed in with crystal clarity: “I have no idea … There could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me. It could be that I was hacked. It could be that it was Russian intelligence....

Joe Biden is the least popular president of the past 70 years, according to a new Gallup poll. But you wouldnt know it, if you were at the Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington on Saturday night. The glittering event is supposed to be a roast of the president. “Saturday Night Live” comedian Colin Jost, best known as Scarlett Johansson’s second husband, is a Staten Island boy who reads The Post, so you’d think he’d have a clue. But he ended his performance with a gushing tribute to Biden’s “decency.” “My grandfather, a Staten Island firefighter, voted for you, Mr. President …...

The most deadly witness in the Biden impeachment inquiry is due to testify Tuesday in a closed-door interview on Capitol Hill. He will be able to lay out in forensic detail the times he knows that Joe met with Hunter’s business partners, both during and after his vice presidency. He will bring documents in which the Chinese talked of their delight about doing business with the “B family” and the encrypted messages and emails in which Joe was referred to either directly or in code as “the big guy” or by Hunter as “my chairman.”

DEI hires pushed onto the FBI are putting the country’s safety at risk for the sake of being ‘woke’ An alarming deterioration in recruitment standards for the FBI has been exposed in a report delivered to the House Judiciary Committee by an alliance of retired and active-duty agents and analysts. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) requirements pushed by FBI Director Chris Wray have degraded recruitment standards in all areas including “physical fitness, illicit drug use, financial irregularities, mental health, full-time work experience and integrity,” and pose a threat to the FBI’s ability to protect America from harm, say the authors....

Post See new posts Conversation Miranda Devine @mirandadevine BREAKING 🚨 Georges Bergès, Hunter Biden’s art gallerist has told @GOPoversight that he never had any communication with the White House about a so-called “ethics agreement” governing the sale of Hunter Biden’s art. It was a sham. “The Biden White House appears to have deceived the American people,” says Chairman James Comer. “Hunter Biden’s amateur art career is an ethics nightmare. The vast majority of Hunter Biden’s art has been purchased by Democrat donors, one of whom was appointed by President Biden to a prestigious commission after she purchased Hunter Biden’s art...

Closed-door testimony by former Pittsburgh US Attorney Scott Brady to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week is a chilling case study of how credible corruption allegations against President Biden and his family were covered up by the FBI and DOJ — before and after the 2020 election. Brady’s testimony fits a pattern revealed by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) last week, in which over 40 confidential human sources gave information to the FBI, over several years, about potential criminal activity involving the president, his brother James and son Hunter. In a blistering letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday, Grassley...

The New York Times is now changing its tune as the narrative from the White House crumbles regarding Democrat President Joe Biden’s role in his family business. The NY Times is now claiming that it “has long been known” that the president “interacted” with his son Hunter Biden’s “business partners.” The gaslighting shift in position from the corporate media outlet comes after Hunter’s longtime friend and business partner Devon Archer gave an explosive whistleblowing testimony against the Bidens before Congress on Monday. Archer was called to testify before the House Oversight Committee on the Biden family business. He confirmed to...

CNN gives DeSantis softball questions while they root for the Biden regime to throw Trump in prison for 450+ years.This tells me that they don’t fear DeSantis. He is “approved” by the deep state.

The “missing witness” from the Biden corruption investigation, Israeli professor Dr. Gal Luft, has laid out his bribery allegations against the president’s family in an extraordinary video filmed in an undisclosed location while on the run. In the 14-minute recording, obtained exclusively by The Post, the fugitive former Israeli army officer claims he was arrested in Cyprus to stop him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee that the Biden family received payments from individuals with alleged ties to Chinese military intelligence, and that they had an FBI mole who shared classified information with their benefactors from the China-controlled energy...

AdChoices FOX News FOX News Biden setting stage for pardoning Hunter as he frames potential DOJ charges as 'political witch hunt': Devine Opinion by Bailee Hill • 1h ago President Biden is setting the stage for pardoning his son Hunter as his Department of Justice weighs a potential indictment stemming from a years-long federal investigation, Fox News contributor Miranda Devine warned. Devine's comments come after Biden finally addressed the possibility of his son facing charges during a rare sit-down interview where he dismissed the chance that it would have any impact on his tenure in office.

Democrats have been running around like decapitated chickens ever since news broke that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given Tucker Carlson unfettered access to surveillance footage from inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot by supporters of President Donald Trump. The Fox News host will air five stories culled from the footage Monday and Tuesday nights, countering the overblown “insurrection” narrative the Democrats and their media toadies have been pushing since Day One. The characterization of conservative Republicans as an “ultra-MAGA semi-fascist” menace to democracy was pushed by the partisan J6 committee and was the Democrats’ main sales...

Joe Biden is panicking. An astonishing fifth trove of classified documents was discovered in the president’s Delaware mansion Friday, not by his own lawyers this time, but during a more thorough, 13-hour search by the Department of Justice while he holed up in his beach house in Rehoboth, which ought to be next on the DOJ search list. Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland has had the audacity to appoint a special counsel to investigate Biden. His long-term trusted factotum Ron Klain is bailing out.

by Jim ClaybornA Delaware home where Joe Biden says classified documents were kept in a garage near his classic car, may have been owned by his son Hunter, who’s under Federal investigation.Biden claimed that the garage was locked, in response to a complete roasting by FoxNews reporter Peter Doocy: Twitter users also highlighted stills from a 2020 campaign video in which Biden showed off his ’67 Corvette Sting Ray, questioning whether a garage featured in the video is the same garage referred to by Biden. Yeah, looks totally "secure." Those documents reportedly were national security documents regarding Iran, Ukraine...
