Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday she will be joining the bipartisan Congressional Delegation to attend Pope Francis’ funeral in the Vatican on Saturday.

Four men accused of murder were executed by gunfire last Friday in crowded sports stadiums across Afghanistan. The Taliban leader defended these public killings as necessary under sharia law. That night, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem announced that the Trump administration would revoke temporary protected status (TPS) for Afghans who evacuated to the United States after their country fell to the Taliban in 2021. This sets the stage for more than 9,000 people to be deported, beginning May 20. A DHS spokeswoman says Noem made this decision based on a “review of the conditions in Afghanistan.” To claim...

Joe Biden named Pelosi one of the chief architects of the move to push him aside .. she was instrumental in the disastrous $1 billion campaign – leading the party to lose the White House, Senate and House of Representatives. ...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed a bombshell Wall Street Journal report on former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline a month after the California Democrat confided in friends that she was alarmed by how much he had aged, according to a new book. “He was not the same Joe Biden,” Pelosi reportedly told a friend of the then-president’s condition after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom award during a May 2024 White House ceremony. The claim is from author Chris Whipple’s new book, “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History.” Whipple wrote...

Baltimore Peninsula redevelopment project - https://x.com/i/grok/share/mjqjZ25H9rfy472BXT6ci7KPj https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Covington Mar 15, 2025 1,216,592 views This video explores Baltimore’s newest and swankiest waterfront neighborhood. It’s a beautiful Saturday but there's just one thing missing … people. Like literally any people anywhere. On this particular Saturday I walked around for a half hour and could just about count all the people I saw on one hand. So what’s going on here… why are there all of these beautiful new buildings but seemingly no one here to use them? For that we need look at what led up to the Baltimore Peninsula Redevelopment Project as...

Karoline Leavitt went off during a press briefing on Tuesday, calling out the hypocrisy in the Democratic Party over President Trump’s tariffs and using their own words against them. Tariffs on trade partners, including 104% tariffs against China, will go into effect tonight at midnight after they retaliated against discounted reciprocal tariffs, and President Trump punched back hard. Trump announced 34% tariffs against China and other “discounted reciprocal” tariffs against dozens of U.S. trading partners during his Make America Wealthy Again Event last Wednesday, April 2. The White House has long referred to this date as “Liberation Day.” Because of...

In 1996, Nancy Pelosi stood at the House floor delivering a speech that would surprise many today. She fiercely opposed granting China Most Favored Nation (MFN) trade status. But what’s shocking is how her stance back then echoes arguments often made by Donald Trump decades later. Pelosi’s speech was filled with concerns about unfair trade practices, a massive trade deficit, and the loss of American jobs to China. Pelosi questioned the fairness of the trade relationship, asking, “Is this reciprocal?” She pointed out the striking imbalance between what the U.S. was giving and what it was getting in return. Her...

President Barack Obama’s first act as a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2009 — nine months after he took the oath of office — was to try to wriggle out of accepting it. “The morning the prize was announced, his staff investigated whether anyone had failed to travel to Oslo to receive their prize,” writes Nobel insider Geir Lundestad in “The World’s Most Prestigious Prize” (Oxford), out this month. Apparently, the president was among the 61 percent of Americans who believed he didn’t deserve it. “It is true, Obama did not do much before winning,” Lundestad, 74, a member of...

In a bombshell segment featured on The Shawn Ryan Show, a podcast hosted by a former U.S. Navy SEAL and CIA contractor, Sarah Adams, who worked with the CIA as a targeter, revealed how he Department of Defense (DoD) wasted $60 million to teach Afghan women farming, despite the Taliban banning women from leaving home. For context, The Shawn Ryan Show is a popular podcast that often covers military and geopolitical topics, featuring insiders critical of U.S. policy. Ryan has interviewed prominent conservative figures such as Vivek Ramaswamy and has frequently criticised the massive waste in U.S. foreign policy. Describing...

According to Jason Lemon, senior politics editor at Newsweek, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is increasingly being discussed as a leading star within the Democrat Party. He writes, “with some suggesting she could be a 2028 contender for the party’s presidential nomination. Lemon suggests this is their response to their defeat in the 2024 election. Ocasio-Cortez “has emerged as one of the Democrats many see to be pushing back in a way that resonates with the party’s base,” the editor writes. He notes she has held massive rallies with [fellow communist] Bernie Sanders. He doesn’t mention that the same thousands appear at every...

Aaron Black, the deputy rapid response director for the DNC is caught on camera bragging about his involvement with the Chicago Trump protest that turned violent in March. In this video he schemes about getting men to bully women at a Trump rally, saying "That is what I'm going to do. That is the hit."

NEW YORK — During the final moments of what was meant to be a weekend of rejuvenation for the Occupy Wall Street movement, a key organizer looked to call it quits. Aaron Black is a protester who emerged in recent months to take up the mantle of leadership within a movement that prides itself on being “leaderless.” He expressed his own frustration with Occupy Wall Street in a tone of defeat. The movement celebrated its first anniversary Monday at Zuccotti Park, right on Wall Street’s doorstep. Black was among hundreds of protesters arrested during the weekend. Without going into details...

Wall Street Chuck accidentally gave Republicans a home-run GOP midterm ad Tuesday during an interview on “The View” in what might be his most cringe moment yet...... “The Republican Party is a different kettle of fish than it used to be. That’s why we’re fighting them so hard,” Schumer told “The View” ladies. “They are controlled by a small group of wealthy, greedy people. And you know what their attitude is? ‘I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me. I don’t want to pay taxes.’ Or, ‘I built my company with my...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that “Columbia didn’t do enough” to combat antisemitism but the Trump administration cutting off $400 million in funding to the school “is outrageous. It’s just aimed at the universities. If you have some instance where someone didn’t do something about antisemitism and should have, go after that person or that group, but this is aimed at hurting universities, and I think it’s spreading and I think it’s very, very wrong.” Host Chris Hayes asked, “Do you think this is a good faith attempt to deal...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a shot at Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday for his controversial vote with Republicans last week to avert a government shutdown. Pelosi, during a press conference in San Francisco, affirmed that she had confidence in Schumer’s ability to lead the Democratic caucus in the Senate going forward, but argued that the Brooklyn Democrat made too many concessions to Republicans when he abruptly announced that he would vote to advance the GOP-crafted government funding bill. “I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s what happened the other...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) mocked so-called “greedy” Americans for wanting to keep more of their hard-earned money and wanting less government control over their lives. During an episode on ABC’s The View on Tuesday, Schumer spoke about the recent government spending bill, which President Donald Trump recently signed. As Breitbart News previously reported, Schumer explained that he voted in favor of keeping the government open because a “Republican Senator told Democrats the plan was to ‘decimate the entire federal government.”

Schumer mocks "greedy" Americans who want to keep more of their own money: "Their attitude is, 'I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me?'"

The two most famous swords in world history have the same thing in common: They probably weren’t real. Excalibur, the legendary blade of King Arthur, was purportedly stuck in a stone. Beneath it was the inscription: “Whoso pulleth out this stone and anvil, is rightwise king born of all England.” So one day, a precocious kid named Arthur yanked it out — instantly becoming the new king. Which meant, of course, that there was now a big stone with a sword-sized hole on the top. It probably became a tourist attraction: The locals could've jammed a cheap, plastic sword into...
