R. Kelly allegedly overdosed in prison and was rushed to the hospital last week. In court documents obtained by The Post, the rapper’s attorney, Beau B. Brindley, claimed that Bureau of Prisons staff at his federal center in Butner, North Carolina intentionally gave him too much medication, which caused him to overdose and be transferred to a nearby hospital. The lawyer alleged that Kelly was forced to take mediation in solitary confinement on the night of June 12. The next morning, Kelly allegedly felt “faint” and “dizzy” and “started to see black spots in his vision.” The rapper also allegedly...

The deranged “manifesto” of Luigi Mangione revealed the image-obsessed accused killer chose to “wack the CEO” of UnitedHealthcare during an investor conference in New York City to generate “headlines” — and had previously planned a bombing “catastrophe,” court documents revealed. Parts of Mangione’s scrawlings in red spiral notebooks were revealed as part of a filing from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Wednesday, giving insight into the thought processes of the 27-year-old who allegedly targeted Brian Thompson, 50, on Dec. 4, 2024, to prove a political point about the health insurance industry, which he wrote “extracts human life force for...

MULTIPLE VIDEO CLIPS AT LINK.................. There is a coordinated media plot against President Trump. That isn’t exactly news to anyone paying attention — but it’s rare that we get a firsthand account of the innerworkings of that “collusion” — irony intended. Harris Faulkner of Fox News is spilling the beans on her own experience, when she got a glimpse of multiple networks and journalists “colluding” (I’m going to enjoy that term in this context) against President Trump. The NABJ (National Association of Black Journalists) invited both President Trump and Kamala Harris to be interviewed during the Conference held in Chicago...

Law enforcement arrested Forrest Kendall Pemberton after he allegedly traveled to Plantation, Fla., in search of AIPAC’s office with several firearms, including an AR-15 rifle.

He was intercepted in a ride-share vehicle carrying the guns on Dec. 25, the first...

Americans are demanding answers. They want to know how it was so incredibly easy for a gunman to shoot President Trump and kill one of his innocent supporters. Clearly, there was at least a communication breakdown, and right now, we can’t rule anything out until we know more. Information is still coming in slowly. For instance, Senator Hawley has just revealed some disturbing details from a whistleblower about President Trump’s security details. According to this source, most of Trump’s security team that day in Butler, PA, weren’t even official Secret Service agents. Hawley claims they were unprepared and inexperienced personnel...

Ukraine’s security service said on Monday that it had foiled yet another Russian plot to stir public unrest and then use the ensuing turmoil to topple the government, outlining a familiar tactic that Kyiv claims has been employed in string of coup attempts in recent years. The Ukrainian domestic intelligence agency, the S.B.U., said that it had discovered a “group” of conspirators it accused of planning to spark a riot, seize the Parliament building and replace the nation’s military and civilian leadership. Four people have been arrested and charged, according to the authorities. While offering little detail on how such...

Federal prosecutors said they are willing to disclose whether they used a controversial surveillance program to foil a Florida neo-Nazi leader’s alleged plot to attack Baltimore’s power grid last year, but will only do so in secret, during a classified meeting with the judge handling the case. Government lawyers refused Thursday to disclose publicly whether they used Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to build the case against the accused plotter, Brandon C. Russell, but agreed to a private meeting with Senior U.S. District Judge James K. Bredar where they will provide more information. Russell’s defense team remains...

In a fiery exchange last month, CNN anchorwoman Abby Phillip told GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy that there was “no evidence” to support his claim that federal agents abetted protesters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.Ramaswamy shot back that the FBI conspicuously has never denied that law enforcement agents were on duty in the crowd.

Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan in 2020.“It was entrapment,” Ramaswamy...

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has caved to the bipartisan immigration framework that would reward illegal immigration and only encourage more foreign graduates to take jobs from American graduates.

However, the deal, as currently presented, is functionally dead in the House, as Johnson...

A Texas politician has claimed that he worked with a senior member of Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign to convince Iran to delay releasing its hostages during the crisis of 1979 in a bid to derail Jimmy Carter's re-election bid. Ben Barnes, Texas's former lieutenant governor, has claimed in an interview with The New York Times that John Connally Jr – once a governor of the same state and a high-ranking member of Reagan's election team – took him on a secret diplomatic tour of the Middle East as part of a scheme to damage Carter by convincing Iran to...

No portions of the redacted search warrant affidavit supported the Biden administration taking the unprecedented step of raiding a former president’s home, a former top intelligence official says.“I think it provided a general recitation of the fact that the FBI and the Department of Justice believed that there were classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. But I didn’t really see anything in the affidavit that justified what still seems like an extreme approach by the FBI and the Department of Justice to retrieve those documents if in fact they were classified,” John Ratcliffe, a director of national intelligence during the Trump administration,...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the Justice Department “appeared to be investigating the fake elector plot” because Rep. Scott Perry’s (R-PA) cell phone was seized by the FBI. Anchor Margaret Brennan asked, “We learned this past week that your colleague, Congressman Scott Perry, who leads the Freedom Caucus- the Justice Department seized his cell phone as part of their investigation into the attempts to overturn the election results in 2020 and that slate of fake electors. The committee looked into his actions and the slate of fake electors. We heard during the public...

Our dear friend and phenomenal world leading freedom fighter doctor Carrie Madej was involved in a plane crash, which almost killed her. Dr. Carrie Madej and her partner Billy – a private plane pilot with 20 years of experience – returned from Florida, where they enjoyed a meeting with likeminded people. In mid air the engine of the plane suddenly stalled, for no apparent reason. In a few seconds the rpm dropped to zero, and they dropped like a rock. No one can figure out why this happened. Airplane engines are meticulously maintained and thoroughly checked, and there was no...

Republicans are threatening to take over the House of Representatives in this year's midterm elections. More than 30 House Democrats are heading for the exits. And progressives have seen several major legislative proposals stall out. But two progressive lawmakers in the House, Democratic Reps.
