    “House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was the target of opposition research hits that a local newspaper, owned by a broader national chain, dutifully reprinted on behalf of Fusion GPS without disclosing to its readers the questionable source of the information.”

    The Monterey County District Attorney's Office has released a statement in light of allegations resurfacing against President-elect Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, over an alleged sexual assault in 2017 at a Monterey Hotel. The Monterey County District Attorney's Office said that they chose not to pursue charges against Hegseth due to a lack of "proof beyond a reasonable doubt."

    The attorney for two women accusing former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz with paying them for sex told Newsweek that his clients do not want to testify during the Senate's confirmation process. Florida attorney Joel Leppard told Newsweek that his clients have already testified in front of the House Ethics Committee and that they are not looking to do so more publicly in front of the Senate during Gaetz's confirmation process. The former representative was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to become Attorney General. Leppard said his clients will only testify "if they are required to do so." "They do not...

    Did you know the guy behind the Matt Gaetz allegations just pleaded guilty to making false allegations about sex with a minor about another of his political opponents? The media doesn’t seem to want to report this part of the case, which is available for anyone who wants to read it in Joel Greenberg’s plea deal released on Monday. Greenberg, a Florida tax collector in Seminole County, pleaded guilty this week to a series of crimes. The corporate media is reporting on his plea deal with prosecutors and the implications for firebrand Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz. But there’s something else...
  • 'I was forced out against my will – and DIDN'T leave in a helicopter full of cash': Former Afghan president Ashraf Ghani addresses his homeland after fleeing the Taliban and being granted asylum in Dubai

    Afghan President Ashraf Ghani says he left Kabul to prevent bloodshed as he denied reports he took large sums of money with him as he departed the presidential palace. Ghani, who confirmed he was in the United Arab Emirates, said he was in 'consultation' to return to Afghanistan after he met a barrage of bitter criticism by former ministers for leaving the country suddenly as Taliban forces entered the capital on Sunday. But the United States - Ghani's most important ally - reiterated today that it did not see Ghani as a player in the region, after the ousted president...

    Nov 5 (Reuters) - Democrat Josh Stein won the North Carolina governor's race on Tuesday, Fox News projected, defeating Republican Mark Robinson, whose candidacy imploded following a CNN report that he had called himself a "Black Nazi" and made other offensive remarks on a pornographic website. Robinson, the Southern state's lieutenant governor, has denied the allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN. Robinson was endorsed by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who previously praised him as "Martin Luther King on steroids" but whose campaign distanced itself after the scandal broke in September. Robinson advocated for bringing back slavery for...
  • ‘No, Certainly Not’ — Tim Walz Denies ‘Garbage’ Smear Undercut Harris’s ‘Unity’ Message

    President Joe Biden’s “garbage” smear does not undercut the Vice President Kamala Harris message of “unity,”‘ Gov. Tim Walz (D) indicated Wednesday. Biden’s smear on Tuesday overshadowed Harris’s closing argument that night in which she said she would be a president for “all Americans.” The pledge came just days after she called former President Donald Trump a “fascist.” “I have to ask, does that undercut this closing message of unity from your campaign,” asked CBS News’s Tony Dokoupil about Democrats long list of demonizing Trump supporters. “No, certainly not,” Walz replied:

    VIDEOPolitical consultant Matt Dowd let it out of the bag in public. What should have been admitted only in hushed tones in the privacy of liberal homes or at least in a quiet partitioned section of an exclusive restaurant among like-minded friends was blurted out by Matt Dowd on Nicole Wallace's "Deadline White House" on MSNBC. Why did Dowd stupidly reveal that the utterly expected late campaign anti-Trump smears were made for entirely political reasons? Perhaps it was because Dowd, who started out as a Republican but found out there was more money to be earned as a FORMER Republican...

    It was a fleeting moment, but one that captured Mr. Trump’s reluctance to part ways with the final explosive act of his presidency, even in a general election in which it offers little political upside.For years, Mr. Trump has helped craft an alternate history of that day, one in which the violent attack was a “love fest,” the jailed rioters were “hostages” and their prosecution was a part of a larger story of persecution — of both Mr. Trump and his supporters — that has been at the core of his argument for a return to the presidency.But as he...

    In a stunning interview Sunday morning on CNN, Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Republican congressman from Texas, accused fellow Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of having sex with underaged girls. "It's my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags," he said. "Look, Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties." This comes just a few weeks after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy said something similar at an event at Georgetown Univeristy. "I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker," McCarthy said. "It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me...

    Author and journalist Michael Shellenberger has said that “U.S. and U.K. military contractors” have used “sophisticated psychological operations and disinformation tactics… against the American people” in sworn testimony in the U.S. House of Representatives. In a hearing of the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government chaired by Jim Jordan (R-OH) on suppression of free speech by the government, Shellenberger presented the information he received from a whistleblower about the origins of the so-called “Censorship Industrial complex.” Shellenberger, one of the “Twitter Files” authors, coined the phrase “Censorship Industrial Complex” to describe the network of government and private entities...

    The White House immediately objected on Wednesday to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) issuing subpoenas for the Bidens to testify under oath in December, calling the subpoenas “nasty personal smears.” The subpoenas represent the next step in the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The president claims he was never in business with the Biden family despite evidence otherwise. Comer subpoenaed Hunter and James Biden, along with family associate Rob Walker, to testify under oath.

    Ryan Fournier @RyanAFournier Yesterday I put up a tweet alleging that Mark Meadows wore a wire in the White House during the last stretch. I’ve spoke with some of my sources again, and now it seems that information was wrong and incorrect. In fact, two of them retracted their statements on the matter entirely. I apologize for putting something out without it not being 100% accurate. That’s on me and I’ll do better next time. I also apologize to Congressman Meadows, and his staff for having to field questions on the issue. There seems to be some dark forces behind...

    During an interview with NewsNation aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Hill,” 2024 Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis argued that if his rival Republican candidate former President Donald Trump had followed his promise to build a wall on the border, “it would have been much more difficult for Biden to get away with” the damage he’s done on the border.DeSantis said, “I do think, when he’s saying things, like, in Iowa, the other day, that, well, he couldn’t follow his campaign promise to have Mexico build the border — pay for the border wall, because there was, no...

    Russian propaganda efforts have redoubled since Putin launched its aggression against Ukraine a week ago. Suddenly, a host of stories has appeared in conservative media that try to rally support for Vladimir Putin because he is allegedly fighting Nazis and the New Word Order in Ukraine. One of the worst examples is, perhaps, the Gateway Pundit, which has been duped into publishing stories by one Larry Johnson, whose only focus is the glorification of Russia and the smearing of Ukraine as a nation of Nazis. We could respond by advising Russia and its advocates to worry about their own neo-Nazi...

    The Washington Post just spent 5,000 words and two years of reporting to smear something it demanded every parent do just three years ago.Record-breaking numbers of families continue to abandon public schools after lockdowns exposed their mass abuse of children, and The Washington Post is willing to descend into tabloid smear mode to try to stop them. Last week it profiled a couple who were homeschooled and have put their own children into public school. The article takes the couple’s side against their own parents, airing wild allegations of systemic child abuse against all homeschoolers based on the testimony of...

    As for the photograph, Salon reported that DeSantis addressed the subject after being asked a question. His answer did not specifically address the claim in the meme, but did respond generally. [cut] Hill Reporter Article The second post Trump re-shared linked out to an article from Hill Reporter, which is a website described by The New York Times as being "a blog put out by a Democratic super PAC." The story was published on Oct. 24, 2021. The headline of the Hill Reporter article read, "[Exclusive] [PIC] Ron DeSantis Accused of Attending Drinking Party With Students At High School Where...

    An alleged orgy with prostitutes. Accusations of sex with an underage girl. A trophy photo of a woman wearing only a hula hoop. And a convoluted extortion plot involving a likely dead American hostage in Iran. Even by Florida standards, the Matt Gaetz saga is downright bizarre — and getting weirder by the day. Before this week, the young Sunshine State congressman and ally of former President Donald Trump was best known, like his mentor, for his ambitious conservatism and promontory coiffure. But this week, the Republican has faced a daily flurry of scandalous ­headlines. Most seriously, he is being...

    In August federal prosecutors accused Stephen Alford of trying to defraud US Rep. Matt Gaetz’s father Don Gaetz out of $25 million. And last week Stephen Alford, 62, pleaded guilty in an attempt to extort $25 million from Matt Gaetz’s father. According to The Washington Examiner, the announcement by the Justice Department marks a turnaround as Alford initially entered a not guilty plea. A charge of tampering with evidence was tossed, according to Northwest Florida Daily News .
