As we enter the final stretch of election season, every day seems to bring another Trump/Vance victory in spite of a hostile media, and another embarrassing loss by the Harris/Walz campaign. Recently, for example, Trump endeared himself to regular Americans by putting on an apron and working the McDonald’s drive-thru; conversely, McDonald’s dealt a fatal blow to Kamala’s claim she had worked for them as a teenager by releasing a statement declaring they could find no evidence of that. She is looking more and more like the most hapless, brainless, inauthentic, unqualified presidential nominee in modern history, if not ever....

An early Soviet active measures campaign took on a life of its own and survived the collapse of the USSR. It provided the philosophical and strategic bases for a cultural Marxist revolution so profound that it penetrated the cores of the CIA and FBI. That is one of the startling findings of scholar J. Michael Waller in his new book, Big Intel: How the CIA and FBI Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains. Published today [January 16] by Regnery, Big Intel shows how the intelligence community failed to defend the United States against a decades-old Soviet covert...

Sen. Ted Cruz is pulling the curtain back on three "Iranian spies" who were allegedly working at senior levels within the Biden administration, claiming that one of the Iran "sympathizers" is regularly accessing classified materials while working as a chief of staff in the Department of Defense. SEN. TED CRUZ: Well, and what you just mentioned with Rob Malley remains one of the greatest national security scandals in our nation's history. So, Rob Malley was Joe Biden's chief negotiator for Iran. He's an incredible Iran sympathizer. He is an advocate, a passionate advocate for the disastrous Obama-Iran nuclear deal. But...

Last week Kash Patel, the former Chief of Staff of the Acting Secretary of Defense, laid out the intentional intelligence failures of the Biden regime that had led to this World War IV in an op-ed ... On Thursday Kash Patel joined Steve Bannon on the War Room to discuss his upcoming second op-ed in this series, the intentional intelligence failures of the Biden regime had led to this World War IV. Kash reveled the nefarious characters in the Biden regime who are making this possible. Kash Patel: There’s one individual in the White House. National security shop, head of...

The Iranian government has infiltrated the Biden administration and obtained access to sensitive U.S. government information, according to a coalition of Republican lawmakers who are investigating the matter. Iran has repeatedly demonstrated in the past several months that it has access "to restricted U.S. State Department emails or government servers," according to a letter sent Wednesday to the White House by congressional Republicans and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The series of leaks, which have appeared in Iranian state-controlled propaganda outlets, "constitute a significant security breach of U.S. government property by a foreign adversary" and could indicate there is...

VIDEOOkay, Fani Willis probably won't be indicted for ELECTION INTERFERENCE but at the very least she should be investigated for COLLUDING with the White House and Jack Smith to weaponize her indictment against President Donald Trump. First place to start is to check Willis' phone data for Friday, August 11. Another place that promises to yield interesting results is to check the phone data of Valerie Jarrett for the same time period. Don't be surprised to find calls placed from Jarrett's phone to Atlanta that day. Who is the first brave reporter out there to ask about and investigate this...

Close Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett said in a video released Sunday to mark the 11th anniversary of the shooting death of Black Florida teen Trayvon Martin (as he pounded George Zimmerman’s head into the sidewalk) that then President Barack Obama told her to plant a question about Trayvon with a reporter at a Rose Garden event announcing the nomination of Jim Yong Kim for World Bank President held on March 23, 2012. Video and transcript of the event shows that only one question was asked at the event, and it was about Trayvon Martin. Jarrett: “President Obama had a press...

On this morning's New Day, CNN reporter Laura Jarrett, daughter of former top Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, supported pro-abortion protests outside the homes of conservative Supreme Court Justices. She claimed that a conversation about civility "misses the mark." Substitute host John Avlon actually tried to frame the conversation around where the line should be drawn when it comes to protests, but Jarrett would have none of it. "I think for a lot of people, a conversation about civility feels like it misses the mark when constitutional rights that you believe that you had for over 50 years are about to...

The White House announced on Thursday that Karine Jean-Pierre, a veteran anti-Israel activist who is married to CNN correspondent Suzanne Malveaux, will replace outgoing press secretary Jen Psaki, raising potential ethical quandaries. The announcement drew celebratory headlines in the mainstream press: Jean-Pierre is the first black woman and openly gay person to serve in the role. But her relationship with the CNN reporter raises ethical questions about her new role. The White House did not respond to a request for comment about whether Jean-Pierre would recuse herself in dealing with CNN. Malveaux's colleagues include Valerie Jarrett's daughter, CNN justice correspondent...

Defiant members of the media and other liberals have responded to the recent lifting of the travel mask mandate by taking selfies of themselves wearing masks on their recent travels and insisting to social media users that they feel safer from COVID-19 this way. After U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle voided the Biden administration’s travel mask mandate on Monday, there was some fear online from liberal media figures who didn’t feel safe enough going bare-faced on an airplane or Uber ride. MSNBC host Tiffany Cross posted a photo of herself on a flight wearing her black mask. Her...

(Feb. 12, 2022) — Here are a few questions related to why both parties panicked when Donald Trump defeated the planned-and-promised-in-2008-after-Obama cover president, Hillary Clinton: Why did Democrats and many Republicans panic when Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016? Would they have reacted the same if some other Republican had defeated Hillary? There is more than one answer, but consider this which applied to only one Republican candidate, Donald Trump. Private citizen Donald Trump, you may remember, offered the putative president Barack Hussein Obama $5 million to show his passport and school records, with the money to go to...

Whoopi Goldberg caused a lot of controversy on Monday when she claimed on The View that the Holocaust wasn’t about “race.”It was a shocking moment on the show, and even her fellow liberal co-hosts challenged her to explain what she “really meant.” Goldberg explained that, in her view, the Holocaust wasn’t about race but rather “man’s inhumanity to man” because it was about “two groups of white people.”Whoopi has made stupid comments on the show before (basically every episode), but these were probably her most controversial comments since 2009, when she said Roman Polanski’s rape of a 13-year-old girl in...

The claim Russia interfered in the election was the cover story to conceal the Obama House/Deep State surveillance of the Trump campaign Back on 10th October 2016, shortly after the US intelligence community published its first claim that Russia was trying to interfere in the US election, I wrote an article for The Duran in which I pointed out that the true story was that for the first time in its history the US intelligence community was interfering in a US election in order to swing the election behind its favoured candidate – Hillary Clinton – and that the practices...

Imagine what it must have been like for Kamala Harris this past Sunday evening to be scrolling through the newsfeed on her smartphone only to come across what is typically a Democrat’s “reliable source” at CNN and finding the headline: Exasperation and dysfunction: Inside Kamala Harris’ frustrating start as vice president, on that team left rag’s landing page. The lengthy piece was very critical of her and her VP team’s role in the current Biden administration. She must have wondered what she had done to find herself suddenly under attack. She would wonder because it would never occur to someone...

“I know nothing” was the comic catchphrase of Sgt. Schultz on Hogan’s Heroes. He occasionally varied or elaborated on it, adding “I see nothing.” In the clip below, for example, he declares, “I see nothing. I was not here. I did not even get up this morning.” After its customary warning to protect civilian life, the IDF took out the 12-story Jala Tower housing Hamas military intelligence offices as well as offices for Al Jazeera and the Associated Press. As far as I can tell from reports such as this photo-filled story in the Daily Mail, no lives were lost...

Iran's foreign minister might be lying, but Kerry’s record of appeasement, closeness to Zarif, and disdain for Israel give reason to think otherwise.Maybe we should be giving John Kerry the benefit of the doubt. After all, why wouldn’t Americans take the word of a former secretary of state over that of Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, an official of a country that is an open adversary of the United States? Since the history of American negotiations with Iran largely consists of lies told by the mouthpieces of the Islamist regime, there’s good reason to be skeptical of anything that comes...

It was a heck of a way to start a week as the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, NBC, and Spanish language networks CNN en Español, Telemundo, and Univision completely blacked out the bombshell leaked audio that suggested former Secretary of State John Kerry backstabbed Israel and told secrets to Iran’s terrorist-backing regime. The audio of Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and an Iranian journalist was leaked to the New York Times and an Iranian outlet based in the U.K. And according to Zarif, Kerry had confirmed Israel’s involvement in operations against Iranian forces in Syria. If true, it constituted...

A slew of Hollywood celebrities including Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Chrissy Teigen have added their names to Michelle Obama’s effort to convince the Senate to pass the “For the People Act” — a Democratic bill that would expand vote by mail and ease requirements for voter photo identification. Condemned by Republicans as a potential disaster for the country, the 791-page bill would also restore voting rights to convicted felons and facilitate ballot harvesting. In an open letter , Michelle Obama urges Americans to pressure their senators into voting for the bill, which has already passed the House of Representatives....

Iranian-backed Iraqi militias were likely behind a deadly rocket barrage on a U.S.-led coalition base in northern Iraq in February. According to NBC the attack featured at least 14 107mm rockets, a favored weapon supplied by Iran to the militias. But this did not dissuade Joe Biden from releasing $3 billion of Iran’s fund in Iraq, Oman and South Korea. It’s like Obama 2.0 Al-Arabya reported: [The United States has agreed to the release of $3 billion in Iranian funds that have been frozen in Iraq, Oman and South Korea due to Washington’s sanctions, Iranian trade official Hamid Hosseini told...
