Tea Party movement co-founder and GOP strategist Michael Johns took aim at Hunter Biden's art, stating besides his seemingly corrupt scheme, "he has no artistic skills."Johns noted Hunter's "entire career all the way back to his service with a major bank in Delaware has been a trade-off of influence with his father's political influence."

A Colorado Mayor unilaterally banned the Pledge of Allegiance at city meetings. In an immediate show of defiance, members of the public and the Board of Trustees almost immediately stood and recited it anyhow as the Mayor threatened to call everyone out of order. Mayor Shane Fuhrman made this decision without approval from the Board. The elected officials previously discussed and rejected the idea but the Mayor pushed his anti-Pledge agenda anyhow.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers at a hearing Friday that the agency has noted “quite a number” of instances of individuals deeply indebted to Mexican criminal organizations entering the United States, adding that there’s “no question” cartel activity is spilling over the border.

Texas is to immediately begin building a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border in the state where illegal migrants have been pouring over and into the United States.

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to a Mississippi law that bans nearly all abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy. It will be the first abortion case to be argued before the Supreme Court since Justice Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed, potentially providing a pathway to challenging Roe v. Wade and allowing outright bans on abortion. The court will consider the heart of Roe by hearing arguments on whether all bans on abortion prior to the point of fetal viability are unconstitutional.

A top prosecutor on ex-Special Counsel Robert Mueller's phony Russia investigation into Donald Trump is weighing in on a new scheme to go after the 45th president. During an interview on MSNBC, Andrew Weissman responded to reports from last week that said Palm Beach is making contingency plans to arrest Trump if he is indicted by Manhattan New York District Attorney Cy Vance. Weissman fantasized about the possibility that Trump could end up being effectively "imprisoned" in Florida if Republican Governor Ron DeSantis chooses to fight attempts to extradite him to New York.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates, one of the world’s richest men, made headlines last week when he announced his impending divorce from his wife Melinda Gates after 27 years of marriage. Now, an explosive new report on Monday alleges that Bill Gates had an affair with a Microsoft employee that apparently lasted for a year. Gates was reportedly removed from the Board due to this relationship.

Arizona’s Senate has backed off from its threat to subpoena Maricopa County officials, instead asking them to voluntarily appear at a meeting next week to answer questions about “serious issues” that have been uncovered by a 2020 election audit. Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, asked Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers, also a Republican, on Wednesday to cooperate with the Senate to resolve the issues, including the county’s noncompliance with earlier subpoenas.

A new bill has been introduced that would fire Dr. Anthony Fauci from his position as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Fauci has served as a White House adviser on COVID-19 under Joe Biden as well as former President Donald Trump. An explosive new bill, which is titled "Fauci’s Incompetence Requires Early Dismissal Act" is being introduced by Republican Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio. The FIRED Act, which will likely never pass in the Democrat-controlled House, seeks to impose a retroactive 12-year term limit on the job Fauci has held since 1984.

Before the 2020 presidential election, many voters wanted to know the details of the health information on Joe Biden, and many did not believe that the information they did get was satisfactory. But now more answers will come as the White House has confirmed that Biden will be getting a medical checkup and the results will be shared with everyone, Fox News reported. "The President is planning to have a checkup later this year, and the results will be released to the public," Andrew Bates, the White House deputy press secretary, said to Fox News.

A whopping 20 Republican governors have come together to urge Joe Biden to do more to address the border crisis and combat the unprecedented surge of migrants trying to enter the U.S. In an explosive letter, the governors also tell Biden that his plan to house illegal aliens in their states is "unacceptable and unsustainable." "The crisis is too big to ignore and is now spilling over the border states into all of our states," the letter said. “We call on you to take action on the crisis at the southern border immediately. Contrary to statements from your Administration, the...

The Maricopa County, Arizona, recount and audit of the 2020 presidential election is ongoing, but there has been a new plot twist. Arizona GOP Chair Dr. Kelli Ward delivered a major update on Monday night and explained what she called “the big router lie” by the Maricopa County officials. Maricopa County had 2.1 million votes in 2020 and therefore required a large system to handle the routers for the election. Maricopa County insisted last week they could turn over the routers because they are shared with law enforcement. Ward explained that if an election is to be certified, its routers...

Remember when New York socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others went to the U.S.-Mexico border nearly two years ago and clearly staged a stunt to blame Donald Trump for the migrant surge? Well, it turns out federal memos reveal that she was in an “agitated” state when she visited a Border Patrol station in El Paso, Texas, in 2019 and began screaming at a female agent. The memos center around an incident that AOC claimed happened in which an agent allegedly took a “selfie” with Ocasio-Cortez, triggering AOC into a temper tantrum.

With Democrats in control of Congress and Joe Biden in the White House, Republicans are battling multiple fronts to uphold the Constitution. And conservatives just secured a massive victory at the U.S. Supreme Court regarding free speech. The Supreme Court ruled in an 8-1 decision that a Georgia college’s speech code policy violated the First Amendment and that a student who was harmed by the policy can seek damages. Justice Clarence Thomas issued the opinion of the court, writing that nominal damages claims are enough to establish standing to sue for a constitutional violation. Chief Justice John Roberts was the...

The election audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, has garnered most of the media's attention. Now, there's another election audit that's likely about to take place in Michigan after a major lawsuit was filed. "A Monday hearing will determine the fate of one of the last active lawsuits challenging the validity of the 2020 election," the Traverse Eagle local publication reported. "A 13th Circuit Court judge is scheduled to hear arguments on a defense request to dismiss an Antrim County election-related lawsuit —a move opposed by the plaintiff who, court records show, is instead seeking to expand the case," the report...

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said President Joe Biden’s infrastructure proposals would create significant inflation, which would thereby act as a “tax” for people who make less than $400,000. Biden and his deputies have said they wouldn’t raise taxes on people making less than $400,000 per year. However, due to the sheer size of his two infrastructure proposals, worth about $4 trillion, some economists have warned that it would trigger significant inflation.

In a video that is gaining a massive amount of traction, two doctors, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny and Dr. Larry Palevsky, host a round table discussion called “Critical Thinking” with three special guests, Dr. Carrie Madej, Dr. Christiane Northrup, and Dr. Lee Merritt, where they discuss, what they believe, are extreme dangers of “weaponized” COVID-19 vaccines. The topic at hand is the impact of the experimental COVID injections on women’s health. This is especially true for people who have chosen not to receive the experimental COVID-19 vaccine but have been exposed to those who have, and have contracted infections that appear...

Something must be really worrying Democrats. There appears to be a full-court press effort to delay and defer any and every effort to audit Maricopa County's election results. Officials in Arizona's Maricopa County are withholding materials subpoenaed by the state legislature as part of its audit of the county's 2020 election, claiming that surrendering them would constitute a security risk for both law enforcement and federal agencies.

Two Major League Baseball teams, the New York Yankees and New York Mets, are getting prepared to, kind of, bring their games back to normal. But the price of bringing the games back to somewhat normal is precisely what many people were frightened of to begin with, CBS New York reported. Their stadiums, Yankee Stadium and Citi Field respectively, will have separate seating for vaccinated and non-vaccinated people. In the vaccinated section, fans will not have to socially distance but will still, ridiculously, have to wear masks even after the Centers For Disease Control said masks were not needed outside.
