President Donald Trump fired Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden, on Thursday. Hayden was informed of the president’s decision through an email from Trent Morse, the deputy director of presidential personnel. “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately,” the email said. Hayden was appointed by former President Barack Obama in 2016 to serve a 10-year term, which was set to expire next year.

Conservative critics of President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Library of Congress were blindsided Wednesday when a key Republican engineered her lopsided confirmation by the Senate despite concerns she is, in the words of one opponent, “an unqualified, far-left progressive.” The Senate voted 74-18 to confirm Carla D. Hayden, who leads Baltimore’s public library system, as the 14th librarian of Congress. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., rushed Hayden’s nomination to the floor even as Blunt’s office declined to answer The Daily Signal’s inquiries Wednesday morning about the status of the nomination.

The self-styled “misogynist influencer” Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, have left Romania on a private jet and are flying to the US after their travel ban was lifted, officials and local media have said. The brothers, who were arrested in Romania three years ago and face trial on charges of rape, people trafficking and money laundering, took off from Bucharest’s Baneasa airport at 5.30am (3.30am GMT) for Florida, 24-hour news channel Antena 3 said. Airport sources confirmed their departure. Romania’s public prosecutor’s office said it had approved the brothers’ request to travel to the US pending investigation, and judicial...

James O’Keefe on Saturday said O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) will be publishing undercover video of intel officials. “If I publish the video @OKeefeMedia has of these intel guys, you all better have my back,” James O’Keefe said on X. Earlier Saturday James O’Keefe said elected officials are “afraid” of the intel community because they can use personal stuff as blackmail. “It’s time to expose the intel community on video,” O’Keefe said. “Elected officials are afraid of them because they could use personal stuff as blackmail.”

"Hunter Biden’s laptop. It’s about to be released. The contents are one horror after another. But what bothers me maybe even more are all the people that covered it up and are ok with it all. How could you do that? How could anyone do that?" Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Twitter

A member of Harvey Weinstein’s jury spoke out about being shown naked photos of the former producer during his rape trial. The jurors were shown naked photos of Weinstein as evidence during the trial, according to an interview published Tuesday by “Inside Edition.” “I tried to block it out,” said the woman, who was only identified as “juror no. 2.” “It was presented to us, so it wasn’t something that we could have blocked out, but it’s hard not to make a face.” As previously reported, actress Jessica Mann testified about the first time she saw Weinstein naked, claiming he...

SALISBURY, MA -- Stephanie Clifford, better known as Stormy Daniels, is making one of her first Massachusetts appearances next month since claiming she was paid $130,000 to keep quiet about an affair with President Donald Trump. The adult film actress will appear at Kittens Gentlemen's Club in Salisbury on September 7 and 8. Daniels announced the appearance in a post on Twitter. "We just had Bridget the Midget there so when we took her sign down, we put her's (Daniels) up," club owner Kevin Moury told the Eagle-Tribune, which first reported this story. "We're looking forward to it." While the...

A friend of Stormy Daniels said Monday that the adult-film star has the dress she wore on the night she says she had sex with future-President Donald Trump. Alana Evans, also an adult-film actress, told CNN in an interview that she doesn’t know whether this dress has proof of sexual intercourse on it. “All I know is that Stormy still has the dress that she wore from that night,” Ms. Evans said.

ONE of the "bundlers" who has raised $50,000 to $100,000 for the Barack Obama presidential campaign is Terrence Bean, who once controlled the biggest producer of gay porn in America. Bean, the first gay on Sen. Obama's National Finance Committee, is the sole trustee of the Charles M. Holmes Foundation, which owned Falcon Studios, Jock Studios and Mustang Studios, the producers of about $10 million worth of all-male pornography a year. Chuck Holmes, who founded Falcon in 1972, died of AIDS in 2000. San Francisco's new gay and lesbian community center was named after Holmes two years later, thanks to...

FBI is reopening its Clinton email probe The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails after finding new evidence on seized devices belonging to Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin. The devices were seized after it was revealed that Weiner, a former member of Congress and mayoral candidate, had been sexting with an underage girl. The feds began to investigate Weiner, 52, after he sent a slew of sexual messages and shirtless selfies to a 15-year-old North Carolina girl. Weiner allegedly shared his “rape fantasies” with the teen and even sent her pornographic videos. He also...

Feminism “died a little bit” during the Bill Clinton sex scandals of the 1990s, and Hillary Clinton helped kill it, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd argued on Monday. In an interview with Yahoo! News, Dowd and host Katie Couric discussed a New York Times front-page article detailing the former first lady’s role in smearing the women who claimed they had affairs with her husband. “There’s a very fixed pattern of Bill Clinton saying he didn’t do it, you know, Hillary and other people kind of trying to trash the women who said it, and years later Bill Clinton having...

To the women of America: Please do not underestimate the significance of this. Here, now, you have been given the opportunity to grab ahold of our society and drag it back from the precipice. You cannot cure all of our ills, but, if you answer the call, you can at least help us take one small step toward peace and prosperity. This is truly a seminal moment in our history. The weight of our future, our children’s future, our children’s children’s future, partially rests on the decision you are facing. Your task, ladies, is simple. All you must do is...

Former Illinois Democratic Rep. Mel Reynolds was arrested Monday in Zimbabwe after police learned that he was making pornographic films in hotels where he had accumulated $24,500 in unpaid bills, and that he had overstayed his visa by two months.

Rick Santorum could be the worst thing to happen to the GOP — ever. Worse even than George W. Bush. And that’s saying a lot. Bush did so much damage to the GOP brand, he almost destroyed the party forever. It was George Bush who brought us Barack Obama. Few Americans voted for Obama, they just voted for ABB (Anyone But Bush). Now the GOP has a golden opportunity. Obama has wrecked the U.S. economy from sea to shining sea. He has turned off voters by the millions. By historical standards, based on the current disastrous economic and unemployment numbers,...

Last week Rick Santorum vowed to end America’s “pandemic of pornography,” insisting that if he were president he would limit the rights of adults to show and view images of consenting adults having sex. No doubt there is too much pornography in this country, and anyone thinking of watching it should go read their Bible instead. But what I want in a president is a pragmatist, not a panderer. It would have been one thing for Santorum to say that his real crusade is against pedophilia or against child trafficking. Those are real evils that must be stopped. But that’s...

CHICAGO, IL March 15, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – On behalf of local residents and the Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo, Thomas More Society attorneys demanded that the Village of Stone Park, Illinois, put a halt to construction of a three-million dollar strip club, “Get It,” located several feet from the property line of the Sisters’ convent. “For over 60 years, the Sisters of St. Charles have devoted their lives to teaching the children of Stone Park – service for which they’re now being repaid with a ‘porno palace’ towering over their convent,” said Peter Breen, executive director of the Thomas...

A former porn actress says Rep. Anthony Weiner pestered her with sexually charged messages that mentioned his "package" and asked her to lie about their relationship. Ginger Lee and her attorney, Gloria Allred, held a news conference in New York on Wednesday to explain Lee's relationship with the congressman who has admitted having numerous inappropriate relationships with women online. Lee, from La Vergne, Tenn., said the pair exchanged about 100 emails between March and June, but said she never received photos from Weiner and never sent him any. She said she followed him on Twitter because she liked his stance...

The Henry Flagler Memorial on Monument Island recently made what is likely its first ever cameo in an adult movie, and history buffs - and city officials - are not entertained. When Miami-Dade voters agreed to spend $1 million to restore the Flagler Memorial on Monument Island, many hoped the beautification of one of the county’s most revered historic structures would attract new visitors. But probably not porn stars. The lushly landscaped island between the Venetian and MacArthur causeways, which boasts a 110-foot obelisk honoring Florida pioneer Henry Flagler, is now the backdrop for an online porn video produced by...
