A new poll conducted by Leger360 between August 29 and 31, 2025, is causing controversy in the world of U.S. politics, as it projects that California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, is the frontrunner for the 2028 presidential election. The results of the survey, which were shared on social media, pitted Newsom against potential GOP candidates, including Vice President JD Vance, former President Donald Trump, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The California governor narrowly leads the president by a score of 48 percent to 44 percent, 47 percent to Vance’s 46 percent, and 49 percent to Rubio’s 44 percent....

President Trump fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner last month because he didn’t like the monthly jobs numbers. He claimed the numbers were “rigged.” But Friday’s monthly report for August confirms that job creation has stalled amid his tariff barrage. Employers added a mere 22,000 jobs last month while the numbers were revised down for the previous two by a combined 21,000. This means only 107,000 new jobs were created in the last four months—an average of 27,000. Monthly job gains averaged 167,000 last year. Nearly all of the new jobs last month were in social assistance and healthcare...

Fourth Turnings never fizzle out. They build to a crescendo of death and destruction.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker recently appeared on MSNBC with Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary for Joe Biden and pushed conspiracy theories about President Trump with zero pushback from the host. Pritzker claimed that Trump does not want to send National Guard troops to Chicago to help deal with crime or even to help ICE arrest illegal aliens, but because he wants to ‘set the stage to interfere in future elections.’

There is a lot on chest thumping and harrumphing going on right now about what RFK Jr is doing at HHS. He testified before a Senate committee yesterday and handily whacked the opposition, bringing up some truly valid points. We've been lied to repeatedly: First, RFK Jr. broke down the TRUTH about Pharma’s Covid-19 coverup: “We were lied to about everything.” Democrats accused him of “politicizing” HHS—but he exposed that EVERYTHING about Pharma’s Covid narrative was a lie. “The whole process was politicized.” “We were lied to about natural immunity.” “We were told again and again the vaccines would prevent...

Did you know that there was a "Director for Transgender Healthcare" in the United States Navy? I'm sad to report that DEI isn't fully dead yet @DeptofDefense.Meet @USNavy Commander Janelle Marra. Apparently, she's the ‘Deputy Medical Director for Transgender Healthcare’ at Naval Medical Center San Diego. pic.twitter.com/A2ZIGsW3H6— Chase Spears (@DrChaseSpears) September 4, 2025Janella Marra says her "passion for compassionate healthcare" is reflected in her "focus on Women's and LGBT+ health."

“House Speaker Mike Johnson has claimed that President Donald Trump was once an 'FBI informant' in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's illegal activities. Johnson made the stunning comments in the halls of Congress on Friday after being pressed by CNN's Manu Raju about Trump routinely calling the Epstein files controversy a Democrat-invented 'hoax'.”

The Secret Service spent a whopping $81,000 on Kamala Harris’ trip to Australia earlier this year, where she was paid $500,000 to bash Elon Musk and Trump at a real estate conference. President Trump has since yanked Harris’ Secret Service protection. “The Center to Advance Security in America commends President Trump’s decision to remove Secret Service protection for former Vice President and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris,” Fitzpatrick said. “CASA recently obtained records showing that the Secret Service spent $81,000 to protect Harris on her trip to the Australian Real Estate Conference in May, where she engaged in political attacks...

Donald Trump has signed an executive order to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War.

Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday he doesn’t believe a bipartisan effort to force a House vote compelling the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents will succeed. Asked about the discharge petition led by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Johnson said he doubted they would convince enough Republicans to sign on. “I don’t expect he will,” Johnson said when asked about Massie’s chances of success. .. White House officials are running an intense pressure campaign to keep Republicans from joining the discharge effort. Trump aides have made calls to GOP members who have co-sponsored the Massie-Khanna measure, pressuring those...

Newly uncovered internal documents shed fresh light on former President Joe Biden’s use of the autopen and alleged outsourcing of decision-making during his final year in office. The former president has insisted that he personally made all decisions regarding pardons, executive orders and proclamations, calling claims to the contrary “ridiculous and false.” However, internal memos and emails indicate that critical decisions — including clemencies — were quietly delegated to others, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, and it remains unclear whether Biden formally approved certain decisions, multiple outlets reported on Thursday. Biden aides initially insisted he personally sign by hand...

Kennedy Jr.'s resignation.Addressed to Kennedy and members of Congress, the signatories accused the secretary of endangering the health of Americans.

A lawyer for the victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, Attorney Brad Edwards, told reporters that there is no such thing as the Epstein list.A reporter asks, "Do you believe Jeffrey Epstein had a list?" To whom Edwards replies: "Yeah, so there is not a list," as the survivors behind him nodded in agreement.So here's what it was. Just like you heard everybody today, Jeffrey Epstein created, through an organization, of enablers, of people that were on his payroll... It was a complicated scheme where others should still be investigated, because they helped to enable him and operate this scheme....

"Massie and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) previously joined forces with Ro Khanna on a discharge petition aimed at compelling a full House vote on releasing classified Jeffrey Epstein files. Khanna said that 12 Democrats and 12 Republicans have signed onto the petition."

A whole bunch of Jeffrey Epstein files were dropped today. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna dropped some information about the release on X: Some info ref the Epstein victims testimony today: There are over 33,000 documents. Names will be in those files. Per the victims, we need to follow the money trail. This was a well orchestrated operation with many tentacles to include shell corporations, etc. Chairman Comer via House Oversight is sending a SARS request to the US Treasury. There is a lot to uncover ref the Deutsche Bank and how money was funneled and moved. Epstein’s network was described...

The House Oversight Committee released over 33,000 pages of records related to Jeffrey Epstein. Unfortunately, when I try to download the documents, I am told that the download quota for the papers has been exceeded. Therefore, I cannot view or read them. From Politico: This batch, subpoenaed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, contains almost exclusively information that has already been released publicly; Oversight Committee Democrats say that, based on their initial review of 33,000 files, only three percent of the documents contained new details. Many of the files appeared to be regular court filings, including, for example,...

@NancyMace Since it’s already being reported - Yes I left the Oversight briefing with Epstein victims early. As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe. I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us.

Late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach lair was decorated with an immense collection of framed photographs showing off naked women and the creep’s meetings with high-profile figures, according to resurfaced police footage. The inside look into Epstein’s Florida abode was included in videos released Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee as part of a 33,295-page document dump from files provided by Justice Department. In the tranche were several videos, recorded in 2005, showing Epstein’s home as part of an investigation into allegations the financier molested a 14-year-old girl. Epstein’s since-demolished mansion is replete with photographs of women, many of whom...
