WASHINGTON — Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) claimed in a new interview that President Trump has a “creepy obsession” with her and is spreading “conspiracy theories” — likening the federal inquiry into her alleged immigration fraud to questions about former President Barack Obama’s birthplace. The Somalia-born progressive is under investigation by the Justice Department, which could yank her US citizenship if issues are found with her 2000 naturalization papers. The Obama DOJ previously investigated her 2009 marriage to her alleged brother, Ahmed Elmi. “Trump has an unhealthy and creepy obsession with me. I represent everything Trump and today’s Republican Party seem...

Rep. Ilhan Omar insisted she’ll keep voting in Minnesota as feds probe her immigration history, brushing off questions about whether the investigation could threaten her US citizenship. Omar spoke briefly after casting her ballot in Minnesota, where she’s up for reelection amid a federal immigration probe into whether she married her brother, lied about her birthday and has been living under an alias. Asked by reporters whether this would be her last time being able to vote, Omar defiantly shot back: “No, and I’ll continue to vote.” The congresswoman then hurried away from reporters and said federal officials haven’t told...

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating whether Hampshire Police’s wrongful arrest of white murder victim Henry Nowak was influenced by nearby anti-immigration protests.

It’s been a long six and a half years since the first sham impeachment of Trump, but the story isn’t over. rom the beginning, the 2019 impeachment coup against President Donald Trump was a hoax riddled with Democrat collusion and deep state deception. Newly released transcripts of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence’s closed-door interviews of then-Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) Michael Atkinson give even more details about how intelligence officials and anti-Trump politicians worked together in an attempt to charge the sitting president with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The testimonies, recorded in September...

A coalition of 10 campaign groups is calling on the Bank of England to do more to tackle the climate crisis, a decade after the then governor Mark Carney warned of the “tragedy of the horizon”. Carney, now prime minister of Canada, argued in a speech at Lloyd’s of London in September 2015 that the short time-horizons of politicians and policymakers made it difficult to tackle the climate emergency, despite the threat it posed to the global financial system. Carney said: “The combination of the weight of scientific evidence and the dynamics of the financial system suggest that, in the...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused former Obama DNI James Clapper of being a serial political manipulator, exposing that the Russia Collusion Hoax wasn’t his first rodeo in deception. Gabbard unloaded on disgraced former DNI James Clapper during her appearance on the Pod Force One podcast with Miranda Devine of the New York Post. Gabbard is accusing the longtime Deep State operator of not one, but TWO of the most catastrophic intelligence failures in modern American history, the phony Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) narrative that dragged the U.S. into a forever war in Iraq, AND the sham “Russia...

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a program launched by President Joe Biden's administration allowing undocumented immigrants a pathway to U.S. citizenship, NBC News reports. The 'Keeping Families Together' program, which allowed undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens to apply for green cards without leaving the country, was blocked by U.S. Eastern District of Texas Judge J. Campbell Barker on Monday (August 26). The program would provide a "parole in place" to undocumented spouses who could prove they've lived in the U.S. continuously for at least 10 years. Undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens typically need to leave the country...

Most Americans agree that former President Donald Trump’s business records trial is a “political sham,” the Trump campaign said at the start of jury deliberations, which began Wednesday. “According to the appended memo based on our internal surveys conducted by Tony Fabrizio, well over 50 percent of Americans have consistently stated the trial is a political sham,” the Trump campaign’s Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a memo released Wednesday. “A vast majority of Republicans and independents believe that the prosecution has failed to make their case that Donald Trump did anything wrong. They see the corrupt Judge and...

Officially the reason that the DNC is going with a ‘virtual roll call’ for the Biden nomination is the issue in Ohio. But Gov. DeWine has offered to quickly pass a bill to make sure that Biden will still be on the ballot.The DNC’s decision to switch to a virtual roll call may be exploiting worries about Ohio, but like the rest of its campaign decisions has more to do with locking in the nomination for Biden while avoiding a floor fight.Most people refused to believe me when I told them that Biden would run or the party would nominate...

The Manhattan court docket says it’s the “People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump.” Legally, yes, but in a larger truth, no. As the case nears the finish line, it increasingly feels as if New York itself is on trial. Only a top-quality case, beyond reproach and political taint, should have been used to bring the first-ever indictment of a former president. Instead, the city and state put on a show trial long on theatrics–porn star testifies about sex! — and short on evidence that any crime was actually committed. And so the script has flipped,...

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life advocate Lauren Handy was sentenced to four years in prison and a $125 fine on Tuesday, in the first of Tuesday’s sentencing hearings for the first batch of pro-lifers convicted last year of blocking access to a late-term abortion facility in the nation’s capital. On August 29, 2023, a D.C. jury found Handy, Will Goodman, Heather Idoni, John Hinshaw, and Rosemary “Herb” Geraghty guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and “conspiracy against rights.” The next month, Joan Andrews Bell, Jonathan Darnel, and Jean Marshall were convicted of the same;...

Tanks and columns of troops are massing in Moscow ahead of Russia's annual Victory Day - timed this year to coincide with Vladimir Putin's latest presidential inauguration after another election victory denounced as a 'sham'. The despot is set for another six years in the Kremlin after emphatically and unsurprisingly winning March's presidential poll, with his new term formally beginning on Tuesday. -snip- Last year's Victory Day parade featured just a single tank, a Second World War-era T-34.

Officials in New York City and Chicago are feeling the political heat over their policies giving billions of tax dollars to illegal aliens while taking benefits away from their citizens, and now both cities are pushing policies that may lead people to assume they are toughening their stance on illegals. But a close look at the policies shows what a sham these ballyhooed policies really are.

As I walk around Borovsk, two things strike me about this town 60 miles (100km) from Moscow. First, there is almost no sign of the presidential election coming up this weekend. I see few election banners or billboards and no political flyers being handed out. Not surprising, really. The absence of election preparations mirrors the absence of drama surrounding a stage-managed event that will hand Vladimir Putin a fifth term in the Kremlin. The other thing you can't help noticing in Borovsk is the street art. It's everywhere. Much of it has been created by street artist Vladimir Ovchinnikov. All...

The vote tally: 121 ayes – 23 nays – 2 ‘present not voting’For final removal, it would require a 2/3 vote in the senate.A Texas House Committee full of RINOs on Thursday voted to recommend impeaching Ken Paxton after an investigation into his ‘corruption.’The 20 articles include “bribery, unfitness for office and abuse of public trust” – according to the Associated Press.

The Texas House of Representatives has voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, an unprecedented move following a legislative probe that faulted the third-term Republican for a yearslong pattern of corruption, including abusing his office’s powers, retaliating against whistleblowers and obstructing justice. Under state law, Paxton is now temporarily suspended from his duties as attorney general and will await a Senate trial. The vote was 121-23, with two members voting “present.” “The evidence is substantial. It is alarming and unnerving,” said GOP Rep. Andrew Murr, chair of the General Investigating Committee, during his closing statement following hours of debate. The...

All four regions have said their word; they voted overwhelmingly in favor of joining Russia.

The Select Committee to Investigate January 6 has adjourned for a well-deserved summer break. Misleading the public is exhausting work.A careful review of the official transcripts of its eight long hearings shows the committee repeatedly made connections that weren’t there, took events and quotes out of context, exaggerated the violence of the Capitol rioters, and omitted key exculpatory evidence otherwise absolving former President Donald Trump of guilt. While in some cases it lied by omission, in others it lied outright. It also made a number of unsubstantiated charges based on the secondhand accounts—hearsay testimony—of a young witness with serious credibility...
