If you were to list things that you least want to see and/or listen to, a Zoom call with “Dr.” Jill and Hillary Clinton would probably be somewhere on the list. It wouldn’t be at the top, as Kamala is still lurking out there and could always get involved, but having to listen to Hillary and JIll prattle on about whatever craziness is on their minds isn’t what the average American wants to hear.
So, predictably, that’s exactly what Team Biden went ahead and did; Jill and Hillary did a Zoom call that was just terrible. Watch it here:“”Dr.” Jill Biden and wanna-be-President Hillary Clinton are currently on
A judge in Washington D.C. yesterday ordered the release of Ali and Taherzadeh – saying prosecutors failed to prove a foreign connection. Defense attorneys argued that the government was “Making a mountain out of a molehill, and it is time for it to end.”The two men may still face charges but in the interim, they will be free to go about their business. Whether they will remain in the country or simply vanish, of course, remains to be seen. It has now been learned that the government was forced to rush the arrest of the two before it had completed gathering evidence
Little Hiroki is two years and nine months old and is on a trip to the supermarket. On his own. He has a busy road to cross and his mother checks he knows what to do if he sees a car coming: he instantly waves a small yellow flag which will, hopefully, help a driver see him. ‘He’s definitely responsive,’ says the narrator of the reality show Old Enough with approval. But will it be enough? Will the toddler safely negotiate the road? Will he come back with all the items he’s been asked to buy? Indeed, will he come back at all?
Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann’s motion to dismiss Durham’s case was denied by a federal judge on Wednesday. Sussmann was indicted last September for lying to the FBI. According to the indictment, Sussmann falsely told James Baker he wasn’t doing work “for any client” when he asked for a meeting with the FBI where he presented bogus evidence the Trump Tower was secretly communicating with Kremlin-tied Alfa Bank.The attorneys for Michael Sussmann in February requested the courts dismiss Durham’s case against him.
Saudi Arabia just produced a piece of satire funnier than anything we’ve seen from America’s elite comedic class in years.Believe it or not, children, American satirists used to tear into Democrat politicians with almost as much zeal as Republican presidents.This will shock those of you destined to remember Saturday Night Live as a left-wing super PAC, but SNL went pretty hard after Jimmy Carter and, most especially, Bill Clinton.Of course, today, our elite comedic class are the palace guards for Democrats and the state, which is why it was so easy for Saudi Arabia (of all places) to officially become funnier than American satirists.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell have been skewered for trying to take credit for the arrest of subway shooting suspect Frank James on Wednesday when it was a 21-year-old security worker who spotted him and alerted police after James himself called police, saying: 'I heard you were looking for me.' James was taken into custody on Wednesday on 1st Avenue between 7th and 8th Streets after a by-stander recognized him and called police. His arrest on Wednesday brings an end to an embarrassing and fruitless day-long manhunt by the FBI and NYPD. He was marched out of the 9th Precinct

While the cackling hens on The View don’t really matter all that much given how vapid they are, their less than insightful comments and far-left viewpoints are so infuriating that any news about even one of them being gone, even if only for a bit, is good news for those of us that prefer to not get migraines when checking Twitter and seeing a The View clip pop up.Thankfully, Joy Behar just made a big announcement about Whoopi Goldberg, the Holocaust-minimizing co-host who only recently came back from a short exile following her Holocaust comments.According to Behar, Whoopi’s gonna be missing a while because she’s making a movie.
John Hinckley Jr., the man who tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan in an attempt to 'impress' actress Jodie Foster more than 40 years ago, is playing a sold-out concert in Brooklyn this summer. Hinckley, 66, tweeted on April 9 that he was 'very excited about [his] upcoming show.''Ticket sales are good. July 9, Market Hotel in Brooklyn, NY.' Tickets for the hotel show at 1140 Myrtle Avenue in Bushwick were selling for $20 on Venue Pilot. On April 12, the Oklahoman tweeted again, announcing that his show was 'sold out!' The venue has a capacity of 450 people but it's unclear how many tickets were sold for the show.
Texas Governor Abbot announced that he’d send illegal immigrants from Texas to DC as a protest against the Biden regime. Well, while many claimed he was bluffing and that it wouldn’t actually happen, they were just proven wrong: the first bus arrived in DC and offloaded the illegals it was carrying. Watch that here:(Tweet/Video) Now, it would obviously be better if they were just deported. But, because handling illegal immigration is a federal responsibility rather than a state one, Abbot has no authority under which he could deport the illegals.
The NBC, CBS and ABC morning news shows largely ignored a new inflation report that showed inflation raging at 8.5 percent. That was the highest increase since 1981 — the same year Raiders of the Lost Ark hit the box office. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported at 8:30 a.m. ET April 12 that inflation increased by a terrifying 8.5 percent over the past year. This was the “largest 12-month increase” since December 1981.Energy inflation fared the worst at a shocking 32 percent rise over last year, with gasoline alone rising 48 percent. Food inflation also took a steep hike at 8.8 percent.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security measures ahead of Title 42’s end have created an hours-long standstill for truckers crossing the border, and trucking leaders in the state are warning that it could further disrupt the national supply chain.“It’s a mess … that’s most immediately felt by the motor carriers that are trying to get freight to its destination. But, ultimately, that’ll be felt around the country. From Michigan to Manhattan to Minnesota, it’s just the way it works with freight coming up through the border,” CEO and President of the Texas Trucking Association John D. Esparza told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Ted Cruz attacked his fellow Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee, during a taping of his podcast on Monday night hosted by a Yale University student group, accusing them of not going harder on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson during her Supreme Court confirmation hearing because they did not want to be seen as 'modern-day Klansmen.'(Snip)While taping The Verdict with co-host Michael Knowles in New Haven on Monday night, Cruz claimed 'you’ll be called a racist, you’ll be called a sexist, you’ll be demonized' for criticizing a black female judicial nominee. 'Among the Republican senators, most went into this nomination afraid of their own shadow,' Cruz said
Black Lives Matter issued a thinly-veiled apology on Monday night over the left-wing groups purchase of a multi-million dollar mansion that was paid for with donations raised from loyal supporters.
The purchase was fully exposed last week in an article by New York Magazine. The property was bought for almost $6million in cash in October 2020 with funds that had been donated to BLMGNF (Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation).(Snip)'We know narratives like this cause harm to organizers doing brilliant work across the country and these reports do not reflect the totality of the movement,' one of the tweets reads. 'We apologize for the distress
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) says he hasn’t decided whether to run for reelection in 2024, when he could be on the same ballot as Donald Trump if the former president seeks another bid for the White House.
Romney has cast several high-profile votes putting him at odds with the GOP base — including two votes to convict Trump on impeachment charges. He became the first senator in history to convict a president of his own party in an impeachment trial in 2020.
Just last week, Romney was one of only three Republicans to vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
Disney is a powerful company but they may have just stepped in it big time with their position over a parents’ rights bill that they falsely call the “Don’t Say Gay” law in Florida.
The law doesn’t say anything about “don’t say gay.” Indeed it doesn’t mention “gay” at all.
The legislative text of the House version of the bill reads, ‘Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.’ [….]

Thank Pence for Biden's Trainwreck

There can be little doubt that former Vice President Mike Pence thought he was doing the right thing. There are certainly many pragmatic reasons for his decision to not intervene in the electoral processes during those fateful days in January 2020. We’re a year and a half into the geriatric Biden regime and those pragmatic reasons are quickly losing their luster. The nation is suffering—not from the constitutional crisis feared by the establishment
New professionally edited video has emerged of police officers allowing protesters into the Upper West Terrace Doors of the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
A trusted source exclusively released the video below to The Gateway Pundit. Tightly edited with markers and commentary narration, it is meant to be presented in court to defend Brady Knowlton and Patrick Montgomery. Both men are facing felony charges for “Obstruction of an Official Proceeding” on January 6th.
This new video will indisputably exonerate Brady Knowlton, Patrick Montgomery and all the rally-goers seen entering these doors by any reasonable jury or fair judge.

Atlanta—The National Urban League released its annual report on the State of Black America on Tuesday, and its findings are grim. This year’s Equality Index shows Black people still get only 73.9% of the American pie white people enjoy. While Black people have made economic and health gains, they’ve slipped further behind white people in education, social justice and civic engagement since this index was launched in 2005. A compendium of average outcomes by race in many aspects of life, it shows just how hard it is for people of color to overcome systemic racism, the civil rights organization says.(Snip)The index shows not only that the median household
Mark Zuckerberg, whose $419 million "Zuckerbucks" vote-rigging operation played a significant part in swinging the election to Joe Biden in 2020, now says he's a changed man.
A representative for Mark Zuckerberg confirmed the Facebook CEO will not make another multi-million dollar donation to aid this year’s elections, which comes after fierce pushback that Zuckerberg’s 2020 contributions tilted the outcome of the presidential race toward President Biden.
"As Mark and Priscilla made clear previously, their election infrastructure donation to help ensure that Americans could vote during the height of the pandemic was a one-time donation given the unprecedented nature of the crisis," Ben LaBolt,
Laurel, Miss.—An umpire is recovering Monday after she was punched in the face following a softball game. Moments after that confrontation, a Laurel mother was arrested and charged with simple assault. Saturday night. Kristie Moore says she was filling in, calling a 12-year-old softball game after one of her umpires got sick. She’s been calling games for 10 years. One of the moms was allegedly cursing so badly during the game that she was asked her to leave. Eventually the coach made the mom leave, but instead of going home, Kiara Thomas allegedly waited for Moore after the game.(Snip)
Moore says parents are out of control

SEATTLE – Seattle’s Link Light Rail is a freeloader’s paradise. There are no turnstiles, so passengers are supposed to either buy a ticket or tap their pre-paid card. But so few riders are paying, fares are currently covering just 5% of the system’s operating costs, a fraction of the 40% mark Sound Transit set as a requirement. At a recent Sound Transit Board meeting, the outgoing CEO summed up the situation. "Our fare collection system relies overwhelmingly on an honor system," Peter Rogoff said, "and our increasingly acute problem is that our riders aren’t honoring the system." By one measurement
