This week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Mr. Trump gave Mr. Epstein a note for his 50th birthday in 2003 that included a sketch of a naked woman and a cryptic reference to a “secret” the two men shared.In the swirl of money and sun-tanned women that was their Palm Beach-and-Manhattan set, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein spent nearly 15 years mingling side-by-side as public friends. There were lavish dinners with boldface names at Mr. Epstein’s mansion on the Upper East Side and raucous parties with cheerleaders and models at Mr. Trump’s private club and residence at Mar-a-Lago....

On Thursday, CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings, left, refused to let a comment about the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, slide - attacking Touré Neblett, right, for saying Trump was "supposedly" shot in the ear.

He was immediately called out by Scott Jennings, the lone conservative voice on the network. This moment is a reminder that there are people on the left who actually believe the assassination...

WASHINGTON — Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., has been leading the probe into Joe Biden’s cognitive state during his presidency, with Republicans alleging that Biden's occasional use of an “autopen” to sign documents — a practice other presidents have done as well — demonstrated that he wasn’t fully in control or aware of what his administration was doing.

MSNBC contributor Joyce Vance seems to believe illegal aliens are justified in shooting federal immigration enforcement agents because they think they’re being kidnapped. No, really. Hear her for yourself. (WATCH)https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1944535049476743189

Donald Trump and his allies have the U.S. census in their sights as they continue to pursue their anti-democratic visions for the country. Touring a controversial new immigrant detention center in Florida on Tuesday, Donald Trump excitedly backed a proposal from far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., that would drastically alter the U.S. electoral map if implemented. Greene said Monday that her proposal, which she said she will introduce in the House, would require the Census Bureau to “immediately” conduct a new census — even though the census takes place every 10 years, with the next one set for 2030....

"This is, unfortunately, a very sad and tragic example of the continued politicization of the intelligence community, of the national security process, and quite frankly, I'm really shocked that individuals who are willing to sacrifice their reputations, their credibility, their decency . . . on something that clearly is just politically based."Wow! Who would ever expect CNN to air such a stunning denunciation of the actions of John Brennan and James Comey in fostering the fake story of Trump's supposed Russian collusion during the 2016 campaign? Oh, wait. That wasn't a denunciation of Brennan and Comey. The quote was by...

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that Congress has a “responsibility” to look into whether the Trump administration’s cuts to the National Weather Service affected the amount of deviation of the deadly central Texas floods.

ABC’s lead Sunday morning anchor is not letting facts get in the way of a political narrative, even after losing a $16 million lawsuit to President Trump and when bodies from a tragedy are still warm. As The Gateway Pundit reported, at least 51 innocent souls in Kerr County, Texas, were killed over the fourth of July weekend by flooding from the Guadalupe River. The victims included 14 children at Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp. Many other children who were at Camp Mystic have gone missing and are still unaccounted for.

Unreal. CNN is now promoting an app which tracks the movement of ICE agents to warn illegals. ICE agents face a 500% increase in assault and threats. CNN knows exactly what they’re doing.

Who knew? Illegal aliens aren't lawbreakers: they're a "community!" Just ask Maria Teresa Kumar, the MSNBC contributor and head of Voto Latino. On Monday's Morning Joe, discussing the impact of the Supreme Court ruling limiting the right of federal district court judges to issue rulings purporting to apply to the entire country, Kumar said: "What Trump does is that he uses the undocumented community as a canary in the coal mine to test our institutions and to see how far we're willing to go to start eroding their rights." What other "communities" might Trump threaten? The tax-evader community? The burglar...

Well, CNN is at the center of yet another fake news hoax. What number is this now? Honestly, too many to count. But this latest stunt is especially egregious because it involves our national security. So what happened? CNN ran a bogus story claiming that President Trump’s highly successful military strikes barely dented Iran’s nuclear program and only set them back “a few months.” The goal was obvious: downplay the operation and spin it as a failure. READ MORE: Cutthroat war between Bannon and Levin erupts… But here’s the problem: that claim completely contradicted the official military assessment, which stated...

The government on Sunday appealed a federal judge's order to release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia pending trial on human smuggling charges, another chapter in the saga of the Maryland father who had been erroneously deported to El Salvador. The Trump administration admitted having mistakenly deported Abrego Garcia in March, and the Supreme Court ordered it to facilitate his return. Upon his return this month, though, Abrego Garcia was hit with federal charges of conspiracy to unlawfully transport illegal immigrants for financial gain and unlawful transportation of illegal immigrants for monetary gain. He pleaded not guilty. “Abrego, like every person arrested...

[snip] On Friday's edition of CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish described the anti-ICE activity in L.A. as "one of the kind of ultimate split-screen stories," in which some people see protests, while others see "fires and disorders." Responded CNN media analyst Sara Fischer: "The misinformation split screen reminds me a lot of January 6th . . . We had a very similar dynamic as well during the George Floyd protests, where it was a question of whether or not this was left-wing Antifa destroying stores, destroying glass fronts, or if it was folks on the right."Get the rest of...
