Last week, following a request to defend the controversial senior federal watchdog appointee Paul Ingrassia, the Trump administration told CNN that he had the “support of many Jewish groups.” But after CNN reached out to the Jewish groups mentioned in the administration’s response, many said that they had never heard of him. Ingrassia, a 30-year-old lawyer, was nominated for the new senior role as head of the United States Office of Special Counsel in May. He has since gathered scrutiny over his defense of the avowed white supremacist Nick Fuentes and work with antisemitic influencer Andrew Tate. In a since-deleted...

I used to like Sig Sauer. They made good guns and had a good reputation. Then the P320 rolled out, and the problems started. Even then, I didn't really hold it against them. The first problem was the guns drop firing if they landed at a particular angle. Since that was something that I could see being missed during testing. While they didn't recall the firearms, they did offer a voluntary upgrade that was supposed to fix the issue. Sig Sauer claimed that nothing was wrong, that they'd been exonerated in court, and that it was all some anti-gun conspiracy...

Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News host turned independent media personality, spoke to fellow podcaster Emily Jashinsky about the DOJ and FBI’s conclusion that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein didn’t have a client list on Tuesday. “In the memo, the language that Pam Bondi used, which was ‘no incriminating client list,’ that really jumped out to me actually, because it maybe gives her a little wiggle room between saying that she had a client list and then saying there’s no incriminating client list,” began Jashinsky on her After Party YouTube show. Attorney General Bondi has been under fire for her...

Disgruntled current and former federal employees are teaming up to to unleash a “color revolution” against President Trump using the same tactics they have employed to sow distrust in overseas governments, according to a new report. Former intelligence staffers with USAID and the State Department believe they can astroturf an uprising to overthrow Trump, hindering his ability to splinter their network even further. Many were laid off during the early months of his administration when the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency was largely unfettered in firing vast swaths of the federal bureaucracy. The “future of democracy” is on the line,...

Pfizer launched the study in November 2022, but has not publicly released interim data and now says the study won’t be complete until November 2030.

The Food and Drug Administration’s chief medical and scientific officer, Dr. Vinay Prasad, rejected two COVID-19 vaccines in May due to unknown risks despite experts’ confidence that they were safe, documents revealed.While both the Novavax vaccine and the newest generation of the mRNA Moderna vaccines had been signed off on by about 30 FDA vaccine officials, Prasad ended up writing overrides for each, restricting their use. Prasad argued that the threat of COVID-19 had decreased, changing the cost-benefit weight of receiving such a vaccine.“Even rare vaccination-related harms, both known and unknown, now have a higher chance of outweighing potential benefits...

Antifa Needs to be Declared a Terrorist Organization. Declaring an entity a terrorist organization under U.S. law carries significant legal consequences. Such designations are made by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, and serve to stigmatize and isolate the designated organization internationally, deter donations or contributions to and economic transactions with the named organization, and heighten public awareness and knowledge of the organization. These designations play a critical role in the fight against terrorism and are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups...

The Wall Street Journal welcomed FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino to the “rotten establishment” in a new editorial about the ongoing MAGA civil war over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. On Sunday night, a Department of Justice and FBI memo concluding that Epstein did, in fact, commit suicide and there was “no incriminating ‘client list'” or “credible evidence … that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals” was reported on by Axios to the dismay of many of President Donald Trump’s biggest fans. “I’m going to go throw up actually. And this only happens every...

Delistings jumped 47% nationally in May from a year earlier, in a sign that sellers would increasingly rather wait than negotiate, according to the Realtor.com® economic research team's latest monthly housing trends report. Year to date, delistings are up 35% from the same period in 2024. The increase is partly due to the overall expansion in active inventory, which was up 28% in June from a year earlier. Newly listed homes increased 8.8% from a year ago, but remained flat over the past two months.

Eight years ago, in the aftermath of yet another river flood in the Texas Hill Country, officials in Kerr County debated whether more needed to be done to build a warning system along the banks of the Guadalupe River. A series of summer camps along the river were often packed with children. For years, local officials kept them safe with a word-of-mouth system: When floodwaters started raging, upriver camp leaders warned those downriver of the water surge coming their way. .... In the end, little was done. When catastrophic floodwaters surged through Kerr County last week, there were no sirens...

A newly analyzed inscription found in Sinai, Egypt, has stirred new debate among scholars after a language researcher claimed it may include the words, “This is from Moses.” The carving, located near an ancient turquoise mine in the south-central region of the peninsula, was photographed using high-resolution imaging technology that brought faded markings into clearer view. The markings belong to a group of rock-cut writings known as Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions. These early alphabetic characters were first documented in 1904 and are believed to date back to around 1800 BCE. The particular panel under review, labeled Sinai 357 and located across from...

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s early March interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, in which she claimed she uncovered a “truckload” of evidence related to Jeffrey Epstein, took on new meaning this weekend after the DOJ and FBI publicly concluded the so-called “Epstein Files” do not exist. Axios exclusively reported on the DOJ and FBI’s findings on Sunday night, calling it the “first time Trump’s administration has officially contradicted conspiracy theories” that convicted sex offender Epstein was killed in order to keep secret his list of ultra-powerful clients, who many believe he later blackmailed for personal gain. Hannity confronted Bondi...
