Republicans who moved away from Donald Trump, including his vice president during his first term, Mike Pence, endorsed his attack on Iran, which was codenamed 'Operation Midnight Hammer'. Even Nikki Haley, the former US ambassador to the UN, and the Republican leader who did not endorse Trump ahead of the 2024 election, praised Trump's action against Iran -- while the Make America Great Again group remained split over Trump's decision to attack Iran. "Well done," Nikki Haley wrote to the president's announcement of completing a successful attack in Fordown, Nantanz and Esfahan in Iran. Mike Pence said Trump made the...

America's rich and famous are leading the charge out of the US and flocking to exclusive pockets of Britain in record numbers in a desperate bid to escape life under Donald Trump. The increasingly 'volatile' political landscape across the pond is leading to rich Americans fleeing, experts told MailOnline today. This coupled with America's strong dollar against the pound is making UK property investments in London's prime areas such as Notting Hill, Kensington and Hampstead attractive.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s plan to give away sovereign territory in the Indian Ocean which contains a strategically critical U.S. base is so “stupid” he must be on drugs to consider it, a Republican Senator says. President Trump and the new U.S. Secretary of State (foreign affairs minister) Marco Rubio have been briefed on the Chagos Islands situation created by the British government, says U.S. Republican Senator from Louisiana John Kennedy — no relation to President John Kennedy — and that the dictates of the United Nations should be ignored. Reminding others on the Senate floor (1hr 55m)...

In an interview on “Meet the Press,” President-elect Donald Trump outlined his plan for immigration policy, emphasizing deportation for those in the United States illegally. Trump expressed a commitment to removing illegal immigrants, starting with those who have committed crimes and expanding to others without specifying which crimes would be prioritized. This approach may also involve U.S. citizens choosing to leave with family members who are undocumented. Trump’s stance reiterates a key aspect of his campaign platform. He also suggested terminating birthright citizenship via executive action, forecasting potential legal opposition. Amid controversies surrounding family deportation, Trump spoke of treating families...

This is an amazing, but brief video by someone who has deep insight into the Obama family, especially regarding his time in Indonesia. First of all, he points out that the mom, Madeline Dunham, was managing CIA ops in the Pacific basin. This is not surprising to me, since her career had CIA written all over it. The most stunning revelation is that Lolo was a bestie with GHW Bush, and there is a picture of Bush with his arm wrapped around the young Obama -- known then as Barry Soetoro. Lolo and GHWB were in the oil industry together....

A man found dead after his Laurel Canyon house was badly damaged in a fire Wednesday afternoon was a member of the prominent Rothschild banking family, neighbors said.

The Rothschilds, a sprawling Jewish family originally from Frankfurt, Germany, long dominated European banking, with its English and French branches playing major roles in finance and politics, most notably during the 18th and 19th centuries. At one point, the...

Remember when GOP poll challengers were kicked out of Detroit’s absentee ballot counting room on the day after the 2020 election? Can you guess which type of ballots they were counting? If we told you they were UOCAVA votes, would that mean anything to you? Does the average American citizen even have a clue what the acronym ‘UOCAVA’ stands for? If you don’t know what the acronym UOCAVA stands for, you should because it could very well be the key to how Democrats plan to steal our upcoming election from President Trump and pro-America candidates running for seats up and...

Trump should allow Biden to do what Biden does so well: to descend into rambling, shrewish incoherence, while his focus should be on what a future under Donald Trump might look like.As all the world knows, Donald Trump is scheduled to debate Joe Biden this coming Thursday, June 27 [I had July! Sorry for the error], at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The debate will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, will be hosted by CNN, and will be presided over by CNN’s Jack Tapper and Dana Bash.

Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) weighed in on the possibility of President Donald Trump giving his speech accepting the Republican Party presidential nomination from the White House, despite some suggesting it could a violation of the Hatch Act. -snip “I think it’s an outrage,” Gillibrand lamented. “President Trump continues to demean his office. He continues to break norms, and if anyone helps him do his speech, it’s in violation of the Hatch Act. So he may well be exempt, but again, to misuse federal resources for political gain is something that we do not tolerate...
