Karmelo Anthony, the 18-year-old Texas teen indicted for the first-degree murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco high school track meet in April, has requested a court-appointed public defender, citing financial hardship, despite his family’s GiveSendGo fundraiser raising nearly $600,000. The family also recently raised the campaign’s goal to $1.4 million, sparking questions about the use of funds. Since the killing, the Anthonys have purchased a new Cadillac and moved into a $900,000 home. Anthony fatally stabbed 17-year-old Metcalf in the heart at a track meet in Frisco, Texas. He died in the arms of his twin brother. The...

For several years now, anti-Trump partisan operatives inside the Department of Justice, including FBI and CIA, have been given a pass for their deceitful and criminal actions. Of course, this group includes leaders from the intel agencies and their loyal underlings. They have worked for years in their quest to destroy President Trump and destroy his populist movement. They were shocked when President Trump won in 2016 so they rigged the 2020 election to make sure it did not happen again. Then, in 2024, they once again underestimated Donald Trump’s popularity and were completely rattled when Trump overcame the vast...

Governor Ron DeSantis is actively preparing a run for president in 2024, even as he delays a formal announcement to keep Republican voters’ attention on his aggressively conservative record in Florida, according to people familiar with the plans. Behind the scenes, DeSantis and his tight-knit team of advisers are interviewing national consultants to work on a presidential campaign. A retreat for roughly 150 donors, GOP leaders and lawmakers is planned for the final weekend in February at a hotel in Palm Beach, where DeSantis will tout his record as governor. Aides are speaking to and vetting operatives in early states...

Subtitle: Former FBI Director the Ultimate Inside Man SOTN Editor’s Note: The following exposé was originally posted as an excellent comment on Facebook Subject: Dropping the Hammer on Comey… Brilliant! There are very few crime/mystery novels that approach this true story for compelling drama, intrigue and brinkmanship (with the nation in the balance). Don’t believe the fake-media story that Trump made a mistake or huge gaffe by firing Comey. Don’t believe the media narrative from the left that it was an attempt to silence Comey from some investigation into Trump. Don’t believe the RINO narrative that Comey is a good...

TALK of the New Politics in Britain, at its most inflated, is understated compared to the millenarian, "Millions now living will never die" hysteria that swept the United States on 20 January, 2009, the day of Barack Obama's inauguration as President. That was little more than 16 months ago, but it seems like another age. Never has any US politician's reputation crumbled so quickly. Obama's position is beyond dire. According to Rasmussen's latest ratings, just 25 per cent of Americans "strongly approve" of Obama's performance, while 41 per cent "strongly disapprove". His presidential approval rating is -16. His ratings for...

Oil Spill Only the Beginning Has anyone stopped to realize that the administration that is orchestrating the response to the oil spill is the same one who has hijacked your health care? Residents and the local governments of the Gulf States begged, pleaded and did everything within their power, to get the attention of this administration yet it took a full 34 days to garner any appreciable response from the Federal government. How much attention do you think an individual, in need of medical attention, will get from government officials charged with distributing health care? Take note that this administration...
