FBI "didn't show an interest in any of the money" after seizing Hunter Biden's laptop, according to John Paul Mac Isaac, the computer shop owner who reported it to authorities. John Paul Mac Isaac, the Delaware computer shop owner who unwittingly came into possession of Hunter Biden's laptop, says an FBI agent initially gave a stern warning to his family when first offered a copy of the explosive evidence about Joe Biden's son: "You better lawyer up and get out of my office." In a wide-ranging interview Monday with Just the News, Isaac described what concerned him most about the...

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) discussed the impeachment of now-former President Donald Trump over the storming of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month. Coons claimed there is “new evidence coming out every day” showing Trump “spread baseless lies” about the 2020 presidential election results and that he tried to “undermine” the process of our democracy. He added that he does not think incitement of insurrection “is a hard case to make.”

If Hawley and Cruz Are Cancelled, Conservatism Is NextAny conservative worth his salt should defend senators against baseless and dictatorial attacks.The usual suspects have, once again, cobbled together a show trial for Donald Trump in hopes of finally ousting him as the main competitor to their self-proclaimed monopoly on authority and public opinion. Nothing new, of course: this has been the aim of the ruling class, left and right, for the past few years. But now that Trump’s term has drawn to a close, his enemies have begun to focus their fire more keenly on the (alarmingly few) senators who...

Social media giant Twitter has announced a new feature called “Birdwatch” which aims to encourage users to police and flag each other’s tweets if they believe they spread misinformation. The company claims it wants to “broaden the range of voices” fighting against misinformation, but the feature has the potential to devolve into flagging wars between different factions of users. In a recent blog post, Twitter announced a new feature on its site called “Birdwatch,” which allows users to add notes with “helpful context” to tweets that they believe are misleading. To participate, users must have certain information on file with...

In his inaugural address, President Joe Biden pledged to “repair alliances.” Yet one of his first moves in power was to remove a bust of the late British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill from the Oval Office, as President Barack Obama did in January 2009. This was a slap in the face for Great Britain on Day One of Biden’s presidency and sends the wrong signal to America’s closest friend and ally.

Women-only teams at military schools, colleges, and service academies will have to accommodate biological men, regardless of the harm done to women. The newly inaugurated Biden-Harris administration is off to a rocky start with military men and women. Serious affronts have come from Congress as well as the White House, adding insults to injuries with even more damage on the way. It was bad enough when Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., insinuated during a CNN interview that most of the 25,000 National Guard soldiers deployed to guard the Capitol during the Inauguration were white males and probably Donald Trump voters, so...

VIDEO Ah! Virtue signaling is soooo wuuuuunderful! It makes liberals feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Unfortunately, such virtue signaling can sometimes hilariously backfire on them as was the case with the Cesar Chavez bust in the Oval Office.

Democrats are obsessed with former President Donald Trump, even after their candidate, President Joe Biden, was elected as the 46th President of the United States. They have impeached him but as the impeachment trial approaches it appears that not enough Republicans will join Democrats in convicting him, which means in 2024 he could again campaign for the presidency. That is why some Democrats are talking about a contingency plan to rig it so that he can never become president again by using a provision in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, CBS News reported. Section 3 of the Amendment states::...

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell is under attack by the left for the crime of saying he has evidence of mass voter fraud that happened in the November election. Shortly after the breach of the Capitol building on January 6, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohls H-E-B, and Wayfair all announced they would stop carrying My Pillow products in their stores over Mike Lindell’s close relationship with President Trump after Democrats, RINOs, and many in the media blamed President Trump’s speech for the “spontaneous” attack, even though it has been proven that the attack was planned days before Trump’s speech. ....

Over the weekend, a couple of prominent terminations took place in the media universe. A pair of writers from the New York Times each found their tenure at the venerated newspaper curtailed over two separate incidents of questionable decisions they made on social media. It is a ridiculous thing to consider, but what is more ridiculous are the reactions from other journalists who find these results outrageous. Considering that not only have these actions played out over the past calendar year but many in the press were either unconcerned or even supportive of these actions, and now they find this...

<p>WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department’s inspector general is launching an investigation to examine whether any former or current department officials “engaged in an improper attempt” to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.</p><p>Inspector General Michael Horowitz said Monday that the investigation will investigate allegations concerning the conduct of former and current Justice Department officials but will not extend to other government officials.</p>

Desperate Democrats want to get medieval on Trump. Democrats are so scared one of their all-time favorite boogeymen, former President Donald Trump, will run and humiliate them again they are considering banishing him from electoral politics forever through an obscure constitutional provision created in the aftermath of the Civil War to deal with Confederate leaders and soldiers. Disqualifying opposing candidates, in case you forgot, is part of the old Barack Obama playbook from his Illinois Senate days, and, call me crazy, but Donald Trump is no Jefferson Davis. Because leftist depravity is bottomless, it should come as no surprise that...

They were right about his character, but his defects were obvious to almost everyone. They were wrong about virtually all else.

The Virginia Board of Elections rule allowing officials to count ballots that arrived without a postmark up to three days after the election was illegal, a state judge ruled.

GOP Election Fraud Deniers Face ReckoningOne cannot simultaneously defend the integrity of the 2020 election and demand new laws to ensure election integrity. So here’s the official company line promoted by establishment Republicans to defend the outcome of the 2020 presidential election: Of course the election had some irregularities like all elections but nothing that would change the result and, by the way, the country needs some major election integrity reform before this happens again.The doublespeak designed to refute what election fraud deniers call “the big lie” was best expressed over the weekend by Chris Christie, the former New Jersey...

First, a surprise, as who would’ve thought the best video shown all weekend would be on ABC’s Sunday show with George Stephanopoulos?Not because of Stephanopoulos, of course, but of how Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul responded to him after being asked the leading, litmus-test question, “This election was not stolen. Do you accept that fact?”Kentucky Senator Rand Paul Did Not Play AlongTo his everlasting credit, Sen. Paul did not play along with the Leftist Inquisition, saying instead that “the debate over whether or not there was fraud should occur,” that there was never any presentation in court of the evidence and...

Tony Blinken, the Biden administration’s nominee for Secretary of State, managed a Joe Biden project that received millions of anonymous Chinese donor dollars. Blinken appeared a handful of times in emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop agreeing to advise Hunter Biden when Hunter worked at the scandal-plagued firm Rosemont Seneca Partners. The Obama State Department set up a meeting between Hunter and Blinken which was postponed, and the two met two months later in 2015.

There's one name you won't see in any of the stories about Pfleger. It starts with an "O" and ends with an "A". It's funny because those names used to be associated quite a bit. When I broke the Pfleger story back in the day, I called him the white Jeremiah Wright. It was a fitting description because the two men were linked by their ties to Farrakhan and their racist bluster. Obama was forced to cut ties with both Wright and Pfleger. Even though Pfleger used to be Obama's "moral compass". Friends and advisers, such as the Rev. Michael...

Death threats against lawmakers have been surging since the election, but a key House Republican and ally of former President Donald Trump said that the FBI is “more interested” in checking those against Democrats. “We're averaging several threats per day,” said Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. In a media call to discuss his upcoming trip to Wyoming to campaign against House GOP leader Rep. Liz Cheney, who voted to impeach Trump, Gaetz said that there has been a “substantial increase of death threats” against members. Gaetz decried any violence but suggested that the FBI has favored investigating threats against Democrats over...
