Steve Hilton, the Republican gubernatorial candidate backed by President Donald Trump, publicly distanced himself from the president’s claims that California’s election results were “rigged” as he argued his team had “seen nothing” to suggest this was the case.

Or are you just frustrated that the count is slow, but that...

It is absolutely incredible the way democrats, and in particular the AWFUL’s, are treating Platner vs. Kavanaugh. Brett Kavanaugh was a choir boy compared to the total scumbag Platner.

According to the New York Post, Anthony "squirmed" and was "fidgeting" while some of the more disturbing footage from the incident was being shown. At other points of the trial, Anthony rubbed his eyes and "quivered." Things even...

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, First Assistant US Attorney for the Central...

America Spent $12.5 Billion Fighting the Emerald Ash Borer. The Woodpeckers Did It For Free In 2002, a beetle from eastern China arrived in a Detroit shipping crate and went on to kill more than 100 million American ash trees.

Four native bird species — and one parasitic wasp the size of a sewing needle — quietly built a predation pyramid that no quarantine, no insecticide injection, and no government program had ever designed. This documentary follows the decade...
