Woke fatigue found comedian Bill Maher lashing out at the left for failing to set their “young, loyal followers” straight on being “embarrassed” to be American. “You couldn’t survive a week living in Intifadaville.” Like pests drawn to a bug zapper, the mask and keffiyeh-clad Hamas sympathizers that comprised the Democratic Party’s base continued to force their way into the spotlight despite the backlash it had meant in the last election. As those sentiments represented a sliver of the left’s anti-American attitude, Maher’s latest episode of HBO’s “Real Time” excoriated the party for its continued favor for the “weak and...

A teenager charged with killing his 15-year-old passenger in a high-speed crash has been sentenced to four years in a youth correctional facility. His mother, who lent her son her car the night of the crash even though he didn’t have a license, was sentenced to five years in prison. Dane T. Pierce, now 19, and his mother, Tisha Gargon, 53, both of Pittsgrove, were sentenced Thursday in Salem County court after pleading guilty to charges in March. Pierce was indicted in 2023 on first-degree aggravated manslaughter and second-degree reckless vehicular homicide charges in the March 2022 crash in Pittsgrove...

Well. ... What I would have paid to be a fly on that doorstep...or wherever it happened. Like, if I won the lottery or something, of course. ... New York AG Letitia James has been served a grand jury subpoena in the Mortgage Fraud Criminal probe. ... I guess somebody means business, no? Letitia James was elected specifically to run Donald Trump to Earth, however and wherever she could for whatever she could cook up to do it with. Which is exactly what happened as she spun the threads of an arcane real-estate case so preposterous, on its face, not...

President Donald Trump has appointed Ed Martin as the head of the newly formed Justice Department Weaponization Working Group — a move that has Democrats, NeverTrumpers, and deep state operatives sweating bullets. “Ed Martin has done an AMAZING job as interim U.S. Attorney, and will be moving to the Department of Justice as the new Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “In these highly important roles, Ed will make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime, and provide much needed Justice for...

"People are going to be thrilled to hear the pope speak in their language with an American accent," [David] Fink [a professor of religion at Furman University] said.

Migrants could be kicked out of the country if they commit any crime under a planned government crackdown. Currently, foreign criminals are only reported to the Home Office if they receive a jail sentence – and only those given a year behind bars are usually considered for deportation. But Labour is set to rip up those rules as it tries to get a grip on immigration and see off the growing threat posed by Nigel Farage's rampant Reform UK party. Under Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's plans, the Home Office will be told of all foreign nationals convicted of any offence,...

FBI officials say they are growing increasingly concerned about a loose network of violent predators who befriend teenagers through popular online platforms and then coerce them into escalating sexual and violent behavior -- pushing victims to create graphic pornography, harm family pets, cut themselves with sharp objects, or even die by suicide.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee calls a Jerusalem Post report that President Donald Trump is set to recognize a Palestinian state during his upcoming Middle East visit “nonsense.” “Hmm. @Jerusalem_Post needs better sources than this unidentified ‘source.’ My 4 yr old grandson Teddy is more reliable. And take it from Teddy. This report is nonsense. @Israel doesn’t have a better friend than @POTUS!,” the envoy’s post on X reads.

Measles cases continue to accumulate in the United States in what is already the second-worst year since the disease was declared eliminated a quarter-century ago. Now, a recent outbreak in one North Dakota county has led local health officials to quarantine nearly 200 unvaccinated students. North Dakota has reported nine measles cases this year, and a recent outbreak among schoolchildren in Williams County in the northwest part of the state has led local health officials to enforce a law that requires unvaccinated students to quarantine for 21 days after exposure to someone who has the virus. The move was taken...

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino published an update on X on the progress that is being made behind the scenes. MAGA supporters are concerned as days turn into weeks and no indictments or arrests are being made of prominent deep state actors who ran the Trump-Russia coup on President Trump, who imprisoned and destroyed lives of hundreds of Americans who walked inside the US Capitol on January 6, 20221, or the Biden White House officials who were colluding with Democrat operatives across the country in their junk indictments of President Trump the past four years. Where are the investigations into...

If courts can ‘strike down’ the other branches’ actions, as Roberts claims, then that isn’t ‘co-equal.’ It’s judicial supremacism... It’s a sad day in America when the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court ignores the basic framework of the Constitution he’s supposed to interpret. That’s what happened on Wednesday, when Chief Justice John Roberts took it upon himself to subtly thumb his nose at President Trump and conservatives during a rare sit-down interview in his hometown of Buffalo, New York. In addition to rebuking calls to impeach activist lower court judges for overstepping the confines of the Constitution, the...
