Iran and its proxies have targeted the US with missile strikes in Iraq. Its Houthi proxies have struck at Saudi Arabia from Yemen. So even as Biden is helping lubricate the flow of money to Iran's terror machine, is pulling anti-missile batteries out of Iran's way. [SNIP] The Pentagon is pulling approximately eight Patriot antimissile batteries from countries including Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, according to officials. Another antimissile system known as a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or Thaad system, is being withdrawn from Saudi Arabia, and jet fighter squadrons assigned to the region are being reduced.

Pennsylvania appears to be on the precipice of initiating an Arizona-style audit of the 2020 election.State Sen. David Argall, who heads a committee that oversees elections, told local news outlets he favors a forensic audit of the contest that state and federal officials insist was secure.The Republican, under pressure by former President Donald Trump to take action, told the Capital-Star the audit is now a “very real possibility." The report said he is considering subpoenas for ballot information and which jurisdictions to send them.“There are a lot of things under consideration right now, and I told them to check back in a week or two, and we hope to
Chris Harrison scored a hefty payout from ABC to leave Bachelor Nation but not nearly as much as he originally demanded.The 49-year-old longtime host of The Bachelor reportedly received $9million from the network - far less than the $25million he originally demanded - Variety reported on Friday. Harrison was axed from the network after he came under fire in February for making racially insensitive comments during an interview with Bachelorette-alum Rachel Lindsay.

US stocks logged their worst week since January after Federal Reserve officials said they'd likely turn off the spigots of cheap money sooner than they had expected as inflation picks up speed and threatens to spiral out of control.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 3.5 percent for the week, turning in its worst loss since the end of January.Despite tough week, stocks are still up for the year. Analysts say this is because markets have been buoyed by an aggressive vaccine rollout and more businesses reopening -
Middle income families are lashing out against Joe Biden's punitive new tax plan that would claim a large chunk of the amount someone leaves to their kids when they die just because it has gone up in value over the course of their lifetime. The harsh new tax - dubbed Biden's 'death tax' - is hidden in his American Families Plan and it's receiving ferocious backlash. It proposes that when someone dies, any asset they leave behind that has appreciated in value by more than $1million since the time they bought it should be taxed. The tax rate would go as high as 40% - double
President Joe Biden dismissed concerns Friday that US Catholic bishops would block him from receiving communion because of his pro-abortion stance.'That’s a private matter, and I don’t think that’s going to happen,' he told reporters Friday at the White House when asked about a document that could rebuke him and Democrat politicians.On Friday, U.S. Catholic bishops overwhelmingly approved the drafting of a 'teaching document' for Catholic politicians who support abortion.The result of the vote - 168 in favor and 55 against - was announced Friday by the Most Reverend Allen H Vigneron near the end of a three-day meeting
The controversial psychiatrist who said that she fantasized about shooting white people during panel at Yale University in April has doubled down on her attacks saying white people are 'psychopathic' in a new interview.Dr. Aruna Khilanani, who runs her own practice in Manhattan, delivered a talk titled Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind virtually to medical students and faculty back in April after being invited by Yale School of Medicine's Child Study Center.

When the Civil War ended, and after Republican President Abraham Lincoln liberated the slaves, Democrats initiated Jim Crow laws to punish blacks. Democrats discriminated against blacks. In fact, the KKK, was founded as the the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party.The Ku Klux Klan assassinated many Republicans including Republican Representative James M.

Liberal Washington Square Park residents have said they are afraid of asking for more cops to tackle the daily after-dark raves because they don't want to be viewed as less progressive. New Yorkers living around the historic Manhattan park told the New York Times they feel it is 'time to draw the line' on the escalating parties which they claim have left many 'too afraid to go inside.'(Snip) 'This is the park you come to chill out,' said Edith Molina from the Bronx.

The Confederate battle flag, which was crafted as a symbol of opposition to the abolishment of slavery, is just recently tired. We don’t see it much anymore. However, on the 6th, when the stormers rained on the nation’s most precious hut, waving Old Glory — the memo was received: the American flag is its replacement.
President Biden, Madame Harris and members of Congress: the American flag has been hijacked as code for a specific belief. God bless those believers, they can have it. Like the Confederate, it is tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect. It no longer represents democracy and freedom. It no longer represents ALL of us. It’s not fair
Downtown Oakland now looks like a Third World shantytown, full of tents placed by homeless people. There are thousands similar sprawling encampments in Oakland, and they’re not going away anytime soon.
They’re likely to get even bigger.
But Newson had other ideas, he thought he can walk like a Governor who enjoys a huge support in Oakland but received instant karma for destroying the city.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting Gov. Gavin Newsom during his visit to downtown Oakland, authorities said Friday.
Good news, everyone. Freezing lethal aid to Ukraine in order to thwart Russia is now good again. All it took was Donald Trump leaving office. Weird, right?
I know, politics often mimics parody, but this is a bit much. When was that aid frozen? You guessed it, right after Biden met with Vladamir Putin. Prior to that meeting, the Russian Defense Minister had said they would pull troops back that had been stationed near the Ukrainian border. That hasn’t actually happened, though, so why would Biden make this move after meeting with Putin?
But despite Russia’s announcement, a top Ukrainian official said in May that about 100,000 Russian troops were still near
A federal judge threw out U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention safety rules for cruise companies operating in Florida during the COVID-19 pandemic Friday, handing a victory to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
In a 124-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday of the Middle District of Florida said the agency’s “conditional sail order” — a framework of regulations dictating how cruises can restart in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic — can remain in place for Florida cruises only until July 18, granting DeSantis’ request for a preliminary injunction while the full case moves forward.
After July 18, the rules will turn into non-binding
OAKLAND — A 54-year-old man was arrested Thursday for allegedly assaulting Gov. Gavin Newsom in downtown Oakland, authorities said.
Newsom was in town to promote support for small businesses. Before stopping at Beastmode Barbershop and Graffiti Pizza, the governor came across the 54-year-old while walking on Washington Street in Old Oakland.
“This morning, the Governor was approached by an aggressive individual. Members of the Governor’s security detail removed the Governor from the situation and the individual was arrested by CHP officers,” the CHP, which provides security for the governor, said in a statement.
The boyfriend of pop star and Joe Biden supporter has issued an apology for racist and homophobic social media posts just days after Eilish herself was embroiled in her own race scandal.
Matthew Tyler Vorce, a budding actor, has apologized for using “hurtful” and “irresponsible” language but he didn’t elaborate on the nature of the slurs in a message posted to Instagram stories, according to multiple reports.
Screen shots of old posts show Vorce using the n-word for black people and the f-word for gay people. He also made disparaging remarks about pop star Adele, describing her as “British Miss Piggy” in a tweet from 2012.
Residents of a Minneapolis neighborhood were unnerved Thursday morning after body parts believed to be from a White male in his 30s were found in two locations, according to a report. The remains were "fresh," not yet showing signs of decomposition, a police spokesman told FOX 9 of Minneapolis, adding that the case was being investigated as a homicide. The initial grisly discovery was made by a passerby around 9:30 a.m., spokesman John Elder told the station. "We don’t know where the body came from," Elder said. "This body may have been dead before it met its trauma. We don’t
NEW YORK -- The declaration of Juneteenth as a federal holiday is putting the pressure on more U.S. companies to give their employees the day off, accelerating a movement that took off last year in response to the racial justice protests that swept the country. Hundreds of top companies had already pledged last year to observe Juneteenth in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd and the national reckoning on racism that followed. But most private companies take their cues from the federal government — the country's largest employer — in drawing up their holiday calendars. President Joe Biden signed legislation
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted more than 500 points in a broad-based sell-off Friday, wrapping up its worst week in nearly eight months as investors fretted over interest rates. The Dow fell 533.37 points to 33,290.08, a 1.58% decline, while the S&P 500 dropped 55.41 points, or 1.3%, to 4,166.45. (Snip) Analysts said the volatility was driven in part by remarks from St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard, who told CNBC that it would be "natural" for the Board of Governors to respond in more "hawkish" way on interest rates if inflation continues to outpace expectations during the
"Outnumbered" co-host Kayleigh McEnany slammed CNN anchor Don Lemon Friday over his "insidious" criticism of parents who oppose the teaching of critical race theory in schools.
McEnany, responding to Lemon's Thursday claim that parents who were against teaching critical race theory were showing their "privilege," defended the parents, arguing that regardless of race, they may not want their children being taught that they're either oppressed because they are Black or an oppressor because they are White.
Mount Eden, the Bronx—Shocking video released by the NYPD Friday shows the moment two young children were nearly caught in the crossfire on a Bronx street when a gunman shot a man multiple times at close range. Police said it happened around 6:45 p.m. Thursday on Sheridan Avenue, near East 172nd Street, in the Mount Eden section of the borough. The unidentified shooter walked up and opened fire at the 24-year-old victim, striking him in the back and both legs, authorities said. Video shows the children, a 5-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl, get caught up in the dangerous melee,
U.S. Catholic bishops overwhelmingly approved the drafting of a “teaching document” that many of them hope will rebuke Catholic politicians, including President Joe Biden, for receiving Communion despite their support for abortion rights.
The decision, vehemently opposed by a minority of bishops, came despite appeals from the Vatican for a more cautious and collegial approach to the divisive issue. And it raises questions of how closely the bishops will be able to cooperate with the Biden administration on issues such as immigration and racial injustice. The result of the vote — 168 in favor and 55 against — was announced Friday
The Department of Justice is mounting a case arguing that laws in West Virginia and Arkansas that bar transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports are unconstitutional, despite the overwhelming majority of Americans supporting biological gender segregation in sports, according to a report citing court papers. “The United States has a significant interest in ensuring that all students, including students who are transgender, can participate in an educational environment free of unlawful discrimination,” the DOJ said in court documents filed in a West Virginia court case Thursday, according to a report by the Daily Mail.(Snip)A poll from May found that a majority of Americans don’t support transgender

The Biden administration is sharply reducing the number of U.S. antimissile systems in the Middle East in a major realignment of its military footprint there as it focuses the armed services on challenges from China and Russia, administration officials said. The Pentagon is pulling approximately eight Patriot antimissile batteries from countries including Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, according to officials. Another antimissile system known as a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or Thaad system, is being withdrawn from Saudi Arabia, and jet fighter squadrons assigned to the region are being reduced, those officials said.CORRECTIONS**
I know a guy who knows a guy who used to be a vacation timeshare salesman. I say "salesman" with apologies to honest salespeople everywhere: he was a hustler. To give you a sense of his era, he drove a Lincoln Continental. The rules of employment required that he own a four-door vehicle and an umbrella and prohibited "excessive alcohol or drugs on the job."No doubt you're getting the picture already. Guys like him were slick. They could drive a prospect around the yet-unfinished "resort" with a binder full of drawings showing what it soon would become: the pool, the tennis courts, the game room.
Joe Biden’s European Vacation
replies
It has been a challenge to navigate through the steady drizzle of media admiration for President Biden’s love-in with the Group of Seven leaders in Europe, but one ga-ga statement, from French President Emmanuel Macron, caught my eye: “I think it’s great to have a U.S. president part of the club, and very willing to cooperate.”
The club? What club?
The conventional interpretation of Mr. Biden’s trip to Europe is that, contra the ever-belligerent Donald Trump (whom the current president dumped on by name before the global media), the U.S. is rejoining the club of multilateralism, diplo-speak and doing deals, such as the Paris Agreement on climate
The budget President Biden recently submitted to Congress resembles President Obama’s fiscal blueprints in many respects. It taxes too much, spends too much, and with $14.5 trillion in new federal debt, it certainly borrows too much.
But Biden’s budget reflects his Democrat predecessor in another aspect: It uses hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare to pay for (among many other things) an expansion of Obamacare.
Spending the Same Money Twice
Among its myriad tax increases, the Biden budget includes a line item to “rationalize net investment income and Self-Employment Contributions Act taxes,” applying the 3.8 percent payroll tax to all income received by “high-income” taxpayers.
Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Democrats were “trying” to punish former President Donald Trump for alleged crimes with a commission to investigate the Capitol riot. Co-host Joy Behar said, “Congressman, we’re just beginning to find out how Trump may have tried to undermine our democracy as president. There are allegations that his Justice Department subpoenaed phone records of House Democrats investigating his potential ties with Russia. Then emails were released showing how he pressured the Justice Department to challenge the 2020 election results based on his voter fraud lies which one DOJ official called pure insanity.
The White House boasted Thursday that President Joe Biden was the clear leader of the free world after his trip to Europe for the G7 Summit and meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin — even after trashing the Republican Party and supporters of former President Donald Trump.“I really do not believe that it is hyperbole to say that Joe Biden returns from this trip as the clear and the consensus leader of the free world,” said Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, in an on-the-record call with reporters.A recent Pew poll on the issue of global leadership ahead of Biden’s European tour showed citizens of foreign countries favored German Chancellor
On August 1, 1988, Missouri-born radio commentator Rush Limbaugh launched "The Rush Limbaugh Show" on a handful of radio affiliates. On February 2, 2021 –unbeknownst at the time to his now-650 affiliates and millions of listeners –Limbaugh took to the airwaves for the last time.
The beloved, yet at times controversial, radio titan died February 17 at age 70 after a battle with lung cancer. On Friday, "The Rush Limbaugh Show" – which began when Ronald Reagan was president, Checkpoint Charlie divided democracy from autocracy, and the Soviet Union still existed – will end in the only form it has known since.
Exclusive: The State Department's Office of Civil Rights cleared former Trump ambassador to the United Kingdom, Woody Johnson, from allegations of inappropriate comments regarding race, sex and religion, concluding they were "unsubstantiated." Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets, was accused of making inappropriate remarks in the workplace about race, religion and gender to staff at the U.S. Embassy London last year. The State Department's office of inspector general, last August, issued a report, saying that embassy staff claimed Johnson "sometimes made inappropriate or insensitive comments on topics generally considered Equal Employment Opportunity-sensitive, such as religion, sex, or color."
Former President Donald Trump endorsed the primary opponent to Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Friday, declaring his support for Kelly Tshibaka Alaska's former commissioner of administration.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted his colleague’s voting rights compromise proposal Thursday, vowing that the GOP would oppose it.West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin’s proposed framework includes both Democratic and Republican priorities, including outlawing partisan gerrymandering, adopting voter ID, expanding early voting and limiting no-excuse absentee voting. But any voting bill needs 60 votes to overcome a Senate filibuster, meaning that 10 Republicans would have to vote in favor even if every Democrat supports it.“Senate Democrats seem to have reached a so-called ‘compromise’ election takeover among themselves,” McConnell said during weekly his Senate Republican leadership press conference.

President Biden's angry response to a CNN reporter on Wednesday was the latest in a long list of times he has snapped at journalists who asked him pointed questions. While Biden has enjoyed questions like what his ice cream flavor is or compliments about how he's perceived as a "decent man" during his short time in office, he didn't take kindly to CNN's Kaitlan Collins suggesting he was confident Russian President Vladimir Putin may change his malign behavior after their summit this week.

Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee weren’t amused. On the contrary, they continue to assert that the administration chose not to consult Congress about the lifted sanctions in order to intentionally bypass legislative oversight. These Republicans are now demanding an explanation.
The State Department announced the sanctions were lifted “as a result of a verified change in status or behavior on the part of the sanctioned parties”

The staffers who provided the draft would probably report that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is pressing the senators to stop work on the bill and to deny they had ever started it.

In January, standing on the steps of the Capitol, President Joe Biden warned of "an attack on democracy."
In April, standing inside the House chamber, Biden declared that the only way to restore the country's soul was "to protect the sacred right to vote."
And earlier this month, standing on what was once Black Wall Street where as many as 300 Black people were murdered in 1921 by a white mob in Tulsa, Okla., Biden said he'd "fight like heck" to "combat the new assault on the right to vote."
But next week, when the Senate takes up Democrats’ signature elections bill designed to expand voting access, it will fail.
The Supreme Court has finally handed down two of the five “blockbuster” opinions of this term with rulings on the Affordable Care Act and religious rights. The most striking aspect of the decisions was the absence of ideological divisions. Indeed, the case on religious rights is yet another unanimous decision from a Court that President Joe Biden has declared “out of whack” and Democratic leaders have declared hopelessly divided along ideological lines.

As expected, the Biden administration released proposed new rules for pistol braces and model legislation for "red flag" laws that make it easier to confiscate privately owned firearms. Also as expected, the proposals are ludicrous. On the one hand, they are pointless and nitpicky rules that are ultimately unenforceable, and on the other hand they are dangerous end-runs around due process that threaten fundamental rights. Taken together, they illustrate the unserious nature of gun regulations which are crafted more to appeal to political audiences than to achieve positive results.
Buckhead should join Alabama

Part of the Confederacy is seceding. Buckhead is trying to secede from Atlanta.
For you Yanquis, be aware that Buckhead is a rich Atlanta neighborhood which pays a ton of property tax to Atlanta. Which is to say they are a bastion of white privilege that deserves punishment. And so, it’s punishment that they are getting.
You see, Atlanta is very woke. That means the police are handcuffed in their efforts to control crime. And that means crime rates in Buckhead are skyrocketing. And that means people who are not criminals – people like the residents of Buckhead – are disappointed and often endangered. It’s not about slavery. It’s about crime.

Black Evangelical Pastor Pleads With Christians to Reject 'Unbiblical' Critical Justice Theories

Voddie Baucham Jr., a well-regarded author, Christian intellectual, and pastor, might have ended up a statistic. Raised by a single mother in South Central Los Angeles, which was then in the throes of the crack epidemic, Baucham could very well have been just another tragedy in a long line of sad stories about kids who grow up in the hood, fatherless and hopeless. Critical race theory proponents, who have infiltrated nearly every aspect of our culture, would say that no one could blame Baucham if he’d ended up jobless, homeless, or in prison. The movement—which sorts all humans according to their immutable characteristics
Rep. Cindy Axne (D-IA) praised Vice President Kamala Harris for her handling of the nation’s ongoing crisis at the United States-Mexico border, even as illegal immigration has continued to surge.In footage from a town hall with constituents obtained by Breitbart News, Axne said she supported Harris’ approach at the border, which has yet to include a visit to the region.“I think what Vice President Harris is doing is what we need to be doing, what we should have done ages ago, which is going down and work with those countries where people are coming from,” Axne told constituents.
President Joe Biden signed a law Thursday to make 'Juneteenth National Independence Day' a federal holiday, starting from tomorrow. 'Juneteenth marks both the long, hard night of slavery and subjugation and a promise of a brighter morning to come,' Biden said at the White House signing ceremony, surrounded by Democratic and Republican guests. 'This is a day of profound weight and profound power, a day in which we remember the moral stain and the terrible toll that slavery took on the country - and continues to take.' On Wednesday night, the House of Representatives passed the bill with 14 Republicans voting against it. In the Senate,
Racism against black Chicago residents constitutes a public health crisis within the city, Mayor Lori Lightfoot declared on Thursday. Lightfoot said in a press conference that it is “way past time that as a city” made the declaration, which followed the publication of a Tuesday report by the Chicago Department of Public Health reporting the difference in life expectancy between black and non-black residents is 9.2 years.
Over the weekend, members of the United States Senate, spearheaded by Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, joined to speak out against the false Covid-19 narrative. Not surprisingly, mainstream media did not report on this incredibly significant event. A video of the Senators’ announcement to officially investigate the Wuhan lab leak and, more specifically, the cover up thereof – what has aptly been referred to as ‘Batgate’ – was posted on Rumble.
Critical race theory opponents are the new Tea Party, a grass roots phenomenon all over the country, mobilizing both activists and people with political background at all to oppose the teaching of race hatred. There is nothing quite as powerful in exciting passions in adults as a threatening their children. And make no mistake: critical race theory harms children deeply, teaching Blacks that they are victims and can’t succeed on their own, and teaching non-Blacks that they are born evil. If you spend two minutes and forty-seven seconds watching the following cell phone video (snip) you will understand the panic that is starting to hit Democrats
The entire Portland Police Bureau Rapid Response Team (aka, the “riot squad”) resigned Wednesday night, protesting the indictment of one of their members for pushing a rioter who was also acting as a photographer with his department-issued baton. (snip) The former members of the squad will continue their other police duties but will no longer be available to be deployed in response to riots and other urgent needs. (snip) "Now that the riot team is no more, we have no clue what's going to happen. We don't have enough patrol officers to be pulled from the road to handle huge crowds," a Portland police officer said.
A segment of Democrats have been pushing for President Biden to have the ability to expand the roster of the Supreme Court and pack it with liberal justices, but Thursday's 9-0 ruling in favor of a religious foster care agency that would not work with LGBT couples is leaving some on the left disappointed with the entire court.
The court's 6-3 majority of Republican-appointed justices that came to be after former President Trump got to appoint three within four years has led left-wing political figures and activists to promote court packing as a way to negate a perceived conservative advantage.
A month ago, the media reported that at least 53 Americans suspected of breaching the U.S. Capitol in January were still incarcerated. One web site more recently said “hundreds” are still behind bars. We know many have been denied bail, some apparently condemned to solitary confinement. Meanwhile, Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters are breezily waved through the system if they’re arrested at all.
Alright! Matthew McConaughey’s potential run for governor of Texas has dazed Ted Cruz.Cruz said Thursday he is hoping McConaughey doesn’t run for governor in their shared home state – but the Republican senator admitted the Academy Award-winning actor would be a “formidable” candidate.“He’s a very charming, very affable guy – he’s a movie star,” Cruz told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.“And a good looking, charming, affable movie star can be a really formidable candidate on the ballot,” Cruz added.
The election of 2020 is going to lay bare the dereliction of the Supreme Court for all to see. The COVD-19 pandemic gave numerous state election officials an excuse to implement far-reaching changes to our election processes. Those changes obviously made our systems vulnerable to fraud. States implemented massive mail-in balloting at the same time they relaxed ballot security and voter identification. They even extended the voting periods -- to give the criminals more time to commit their fraud.
All these changes were unconstitutional. (snip) The Supreme Court declined to get involved.
There are three types of “science” -- good science, bad science, and political science. (snip) What if there were a well-established body of science for brainwashing and well-established techniques to achieve predictable results? The CIA believed it was possible, when it developed Project MKUltra in the 1960s, to discover ways to brainwash people. Merely mentioning MKUltra sounds like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory but the fact is that the project did exist. (snip) Don’t those sound remarkably like some of the talking points repeated so often in the news media and social media? Believe the scientists. Trust the experts. Believe the expert opinions.
Senate Republicans Thursday said that they have no intention of supporting Sen. Joe Manchin's proposal for elections legislation, which was supposed to be a possible bipartisan compromise in lieu of Democrats' controversial elections bill, S.1.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday that he hopes "all Republicans" will oppose the proposal from Manchin, D-W.Va.,, at a press conference that was designed to show Republican unity against S.1.
"It still turns the Federal Election Commission (FEC) from a judge into a prosecutor by taking away the three-three balance and making it 3-2 Democratic," McConnell said.
We’ve seen some pretty ridiculous spinning from the U.S. media on Joe Biden’s performance during his meetings in Europe.
Particularly egregious — as always — CNN, who just couldn’t keep from bootlicking for Biden despite there being no facts to support the notion that he’d actually succeeded at anything.
There was this tongue bath that CNN’s Jeff Zeleny was part of writing that we reported on earlier.
Traveling across Europe for the past week, Biden found his reputation as a foreign policy wiseman preceded him — even at Windsor Castle, whose occupant has met her share of world leaders.
It was evident at nearly every stop along the way that after five months
Football star Megan Rapinoe and actress and producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas are joining Victoria's Secret in what the lingerie giant is calling a "dramatic shift" for the brand.
They are among several new faces who will help promote the brand which is best known for its lingerie-clad models known as Angels.
Victoria's Secret still generates billions of dollars in sales.
However, its hyper-sexualised image has fallen out of fashion in recent years.
Ms Rapinoe and Ms Chopra Jonas will form part of "The VS Collective" a group of women who will work with the company on "collaborations, business partnerships and cause-related initiatives".
Former President Donald Trump will join James “Bo Snerdley” Golden on Saturday as the former legendary call screener for the late conservative talk king Rush Limbaugh gains momentum and notoriety as part of WABC-New York’s Saturday morning line-up.“It is truly an honor to have President Trump agree to appear on WABC TalkRadio 77 with me this Saturday,” Golden said in a statement to BizPac Review.“Without question – President Trump has dominated political discourse in America the past six years – his presidential track record of accomplishment, while largely unreported on by the mainstream media – is unequaled by any modern president
For the past year, liberals unleashed on the nation an avalanche of ideological nonsense, coupled with brutal pressure to conform. Those who bucked the party line found themselves canceled and unpersoned and had their opinions subjected to mockery and claims of delusion and “anti-science” prejudices.
Until now. Because the tide is turning. And sometimes the break from the party line comes from surprising places.
Late-night comics are usually reliable parroters of the message of the day. So it says something that last week,
Public documents show President Joe Biden’s brother, Frank Biden, was caught speeding in Florida and received no punishment in another example of how the Biden family lives above the law.Court video reveals the case was dismissed June 16, 2021, because the ticketing police officer was absent from the hearing attending police “training” instead, which began May 15 and ended June 17, one day after the hearing. The traffic stop occurred in January of 2021 in Palm Beach County, Florida.An attorney told Breitbart News under anonymity that many times a police officer will notify the court for the reason of his absence. Documents show
Hunter Biden’s connections to the New York art scene reportedly go through lingerie entrepreneur Zoe Kestan, otherwise known as @weed_slut_420 on Instagram.President Joe Biden’s 51-year-old scandal-plagued son is venturing into the art world, with Soho art dealer Georges Bergès, who reportedly has some ties to China, holding a private viewing for Hunter’s artwork in Los Angeles, followed by an art exhibition in New York in the fall. Hunter has reportedly been working on his art full time, and his pieces, Bergès told Artnet, will “range from $75,000 for works on paper to $500,000 for large-scale paintings.” (Snip) Hunter’s gateway into the art world appears to be connected to Zoe Kestan,
