Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines has told Congress the U.S. intelligence community will undertake a damage assessment of the trove of classified material held at former President Trump's Florida golf club for more than a year. The assurance, contained in a letter to House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. Carolyn Maloney and House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, is the first indication that the Biden administration will evaluate the potential national security risks. It comes after a heavily redacted document released Friday revealed 15 boxes of documents returned from Mar-a-Lago contained 184 classified documents, 67 confidential documents and 25 top secret documents.

The pursuit of Donald Trump continues apace by those who fancy themselves as Never Trump. Per RedState’s Sunday prior reporting, Adam Kinzinger recently did the one thing that makes him feel relevant by appearing on Meet the Press.
What followed was a ridiculous diatribe accusing Republicans of hypocrisy for wanting Hillary Clinton charged but not Donald Trump regarding the handling of classified information. Putting aside that Trump was president and had the power of declassification, do you see how the game works? The rules get changed in order to protect a Democrat, but instead of abiding by that new standard, Republicans are expected to play under the old rules.
The countdown clock for NASA's Artemis I mission is on hold at T-minus 40 minutes due two several issues that threaten the launch of the world's most powerful space rocket to the moon.
One of the Space Launch System's (SLS) engines is struggling to get to the proper temperature, while engineers are assessing what appears to be a crack on the core stage of the $22 billion rocket.
Derrol Nail, the NASA launch commentator, said that the line of frost on the outside of the core stage appeared to be the result of a crack in the insulating foam, not the underlying 'intertank flange.'
The first Moon rocket launched by NASA in five decades is expected to take off Monday morning from the Kennedy Space Center on Florida's coast that will be watched by Vice President Kamala Harris.
Launch teams spent a final full day of preparations ahead of the planned liftoff of NASA's giant next-generation Artemis I rocket on its debut test flight, kicking off the agency's moon-to-Mars program 50 years after the end of Apollo.
NASA officials said on Sunday that all systems appeared 'go' for liftoff, and weather forecasts called for an 80 percent chance of favorable conditions at the top of Monday's two-hour launch window, starting at 8:33am ET,
Three people were killed when a gunman opened fire at shopping mall in Bend, Oregon, on Sunday evening.
The city of Bend is located 175 miles south east of Portland. The incident took place at the Forum Shopping Center.
Bend Police Department spokesperson Sheila Miller said that the shooting began close to the Big Lots store in the mall. The gunman then moved on where he killed a person at the door to the Safeway supermarket.
Another person was killed at the back of the store, according to Miller.
GOP Senator Lindsey Graham has warned there will be 'riots in the streets' if Donald Trump is indicted over his mishandling of classified documents.
Graham suggested there was a two-tiered legal system based along political lines in support of Joe Biden and against the former president.
'Most Republicans, including me, believe when it comes to Trump, there is no law. It's all about getting him,' Graham said to Fox News on Sunday night.
'There is a double standard when it comes to Trump. What happened with Hunter Biden is that the FBI weighed in to make sure the story didn't break before the 2020 election.
CNN aired a rerun in place of Brian Stelter's show on the first Sunday since its cancellation.
Reliable Sources was replaced at 11 a.m. by a rerun of Inside Politics Sunday with anchor Abby Phillip, which originally aired during the 8 a.m. hour.
This comes after The Wrap reported last week that CNN has no plans at the moment to replace Reliable Sources.(Tweet/Video) “There are a number of programs in the concept and development phases, and it’s possible media coverage will be an element of a show,” a network insider told the news outlet, “but no indication that an exclusively media beat show is part of the plan.”
Back before the bad orange man did bad orange things and scrambled the brains of everyone working within the beltway, the FBI used to actually solve crimes and handle real threats to American national security. It didn’t just run around crying about Russia and attacking enemies of people with blue hair, it did a good job of fighting crime.
Well, one man from those older days at the FBI is now tearing into his former agency for involving itself in the Stasi-like Mar-a-Lago raid, calling the raid something that the feds are “going to regret.”
That man is Kevin Brock, the retired assistant director of the FBI.
Director, actor, and longtime Democrat activist Rob Reiner was incredulous at the notion that the media censored coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal in the run-up to the 2020 election–a fact which is no longer in dispute.
Reiner’s comments came during a discussion Friday on HBO’s “Real Time” when host Bill Maher mentioned the recent controversy surround author Sam Harris’ claims on a podcast that the media and big tech were justified in censoring the story of Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” during the 2020 election in order to stop Donald Trump’s re-election.
“They were talking about the Hunter Biden laptop which was a story,” Maher said,
An 11-year-old boy has been invited to join Mensa after achieving a higher IQ score than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
Kevin Sweeney, who has autism, was able to memorise the periodic table at the age of six and could read before starting primary school.
The child genius, who travelled to The Quaker Meeting House in Edinburgh to sit the test, received an IQ score of 162 - placing him in the top one per cent of people.
Kevin, who was the only child who took the July 16 test, now ranks above theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking whose IQ was 160 and Albert Einstein,
Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and his family are leaving the United States for good — and according to a recent interview, their reasons have more to do with social and political issues than they do with the aging rocker’s recent health concerns.
Osbourne recently returned to Birmingham, England, for a performance that a series of health scares nearly derailed any possible returns to the stage — and he spoke with The Observer about everything from his health to his plans to move back to the United Kingdom. (Tweet)
Top Democrats have officially abandoned any remaining restraint when it comes to America first Republicans, sending an ominous signal to supporters of former President Donald J. Trump that they are viewed as enemies by some of the most powerful political figures in the country led by President Joe Biden.
On Thursday, the man who dishonestly presented himself as a unifier during his White House campaign denounced “MAGA Republicans” as enemies of democracy who are driven by what he called “semi-fascism” during a decidedly un-American rant that marked a new low for a national leader and conjured images of a dark period of European history when another demagogue denounced a persecuted minority
The father of a Marine killed in last year’s terrorist bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, slammed President Joe Biden for spending the one-year anniversary of the attack filming a playful segment with comedian Jay Leno.
Friday marked the one-year anniversary of the 2021 Kabul airport attack that left 13 U.S. servicemembers dead during President Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal that also left hundreds of Americans stranded in the country, which was swiftly taken over by the Taliban following America’s departure.

Hollywood star Drew Barrymore has been accused of “racism” for posting a video of herself dancing in the rain on social media.
The short video shows Barrymore filming herself laughing, dancing, and encouraging others to enjoy the pouring rain.
However, leftists pounced on the video and argued that it’s “racist” because she’s “frolicking in the rain.”
The accusation comes from a “woke” activist with the handle @amushroomblackly who posted a video response, that quickly went viral, and accused Barrymore of cultural insensitivity.
“Whenever you can, go out into the rain,” Barrymore says in her video.
The FBI responded on Friday to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's claims that the agency warned Facebook about the Hunter Biden laptop story in October 2020.
During an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Zuckerberg told the comedian the feds told the social media giant to be vigilant in the face of Russian disinformation campaigns prior to the 2020 presidential election.
Zuckerberg said the FBI did not name the Hunter Biden story specifically but it 'fit the pattern' of what the agency had discussed.
In a statement, the FBI said the agency 'routinely notifies' social media companies about potential security threats.

A plan to save migratory salmon by demolishing four hydroelectric dams on California’s Klamath River got backing from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Friday. FERC released the final version of the environmental impact statement evaluating the dam demolition plan. FERC commissioners will vote on whether or not to implement the plan later this year. The dam’s operators filed an application to surrender the Lower Klamath Hydroelectric Project on Nov. 17, 2020. The project rests on 400 acres of federal land in Oregon and California, and consists of the Copco 1, Copco 2, Iron Gate, and J.C. Boyle Dams.(Snip)These dams were originally licensed by FERC in 1954; new guidelines suggested
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold claimed Republicans plan to attack Americans’ right to vote if they are able to win this year’s midterm elections.
“What we can expect from the extreme Republicans running across this country is to undermine free and fair elections for the American people, strip Americans of the right to vote, refuse to address security breaches and, unfortunately, be more beholden to Mar-a-Lago than the American people,” the Colorado Democrat said during an interview with the Guardian.
Griswold pointed out that many Republicans in competitive elections have echoed claims made by former President Donald Trump

New COVID-19 booster shots are set to be authorized this week by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and will be available to most Americans before human testing has even been completed. The shots have been modified to target the latest Omicron variant, but won't have finished testing in humans when the FDA makes the decision. Instead, the FDA is relying on data from other sources - like research in mice and older vaccines, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he will help “left-wing Democrats” win over Republicans who he believes do not respect democracy.
Anchor Chuck Todd asked, “I’m curious. Liz Cheney said in some cases. She may have to help a diagram win against an anti-democracy Republican win. Do you feel that is what you will be doing the next couple of years or so?”
Kinzinger said, “Yes. The biggest issue, not everybody agrees with me and certainly in my party and even Democrats like so say, but you’re still a conservative, yeah, I’m a conservative,
The media may think their clever reporting is hiding Biden’s decline from the world, but the world is well aware of it. Particularly in Australia.
Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt spoke with psychiatrist Tanveer Ahmed on his show and discussed Ahmed’s take on the cognitive condition of the leader of the free world.
They weren’t the only ones who noticed this strange behavior from Biden and things are just getting worse.
The New York Times published an article earlier this year on how “uncomfortable” Biden’s age is “for him, his team, and his party

A warped 'knockout' game which sees violent criminals punch strangers for fun is feared to have made a comeback in crime-ridden New York City. Almost 20 of the violent and apparently motive-less knockout game incidents have been reported to the NYPD so far this year, including a Bronx man who almost died after being punched to the ground outside a restaurant. Other knockout game victims include a 36 year-old man filmed being knocked out cold after being whacked over the head at a Brooklyn mall, and a 74 year-old woman slapped to the sidewalk in Midtown Manhattan earlier this month.(Snip)'It's not only the mentally ill
