Mike Lindell, the controversial CEO of MyPillow, said Tuesday that his cellphone had been seized by the FBI.
In an episode of his show, the Lindell Report, the election skeptic said the seizure took place at a Hardee’s drive-thru while driving back to his home in Mankato, Minnesota.
Two cars blocked his vehicle in the pickup lane and Mr. Lindell, according to a clip of the show at The Post Millennial, told his traveling buddy that “that’s either a bad guy, or it’s FBI.”
The CEO and ally of former President Donald Trump said he asked the officers if they were going to arrest him.
Registration began Monday for next year’s Boston Marathon, with a new pronoun category for nonbinary runners. They, them and their will compete in a separate division for the first time and will no longer have to suffer the agony of checking the box for male or female upon registering.
Aiming to please demanding LBGT fascists, the Boston Athletic Association is “currently working on expanding opportunities” for nonbinary athletes in the Boston Marathon and other road races, according to Huffington Post’s Sanjana Karanth.
Medical school and postgraduate training is a long and arduous journey, often taking 8-10 years beyond college. There is much to learn, process and assimilate. Clinical judgement stems not only from experience but also from intelligence.
Medicine is a high stakes game. Sickness and health lie in the balance, as does life and death (or vision and blindness in my professional world of retina surgery). Medical errors can be due to accidents, incorrect judgement calls, or lack of knowledge.
When your health or life is on the line, you want the smartest physician caring for you, making critical decisions, or performing challenging surgery.
Massachusetts voters will have a chance to repeal a law allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses.
The bill was vetoed in May by Republican Governor Charlie Baker. But in another case of ruling against the will of the people, the veto didn’t stick. So strongly do Democrats in the state legislature feel about illegals voting that they went all in and overrode the veto.
Nevertheless, the people will have the final say, as the ballot measure’s approval was announced on Friday.
“It just shows how out of touch the Democratic Legislature is with the will of the people,” Massachusetts GOP chairman Jim Lyons told the Boston Herald.
For several weeks now Micki Witthoeft, the mother of deceased Capitol protester Ashli Babbitt, has held a nightly protest outside the Washington DC prison and political prisoner gulag.
On Tuesday President Trump called Micki and the protest crowd outside the DC Gulag.
The speakers were blaring so hopefully the abused political prisoners inside could hear him.
This was incredible! President Trump called Micki who he has called before.
President Trump: Well, Micki it’s an honor to be with you and everyone listening. It’s a terrible thing that has happened to a lot of people that are being treated very, very unfairly.
Nearly 100 members of Congress bought or sold financial assets that intersected with the work of the committees they sit on, according to a New York Times report. Of the 435 House members, 183 traded stocks through themselves or their immediate family members from 2019 to 2021. At least 97 bought or sold stocks, bonds or other financial assets through themselves or their spouses that directly intersected with their congressional work. US lawmakers are not yet banned from making any stock trades, though insider trading is illegal for everyone. The trades that intersect with committee work are split evenly on partisan lines-49 Republicans and 48 Democrats.
Under President Joe Biden, the foreign-born population of the United States has grown to its highest level ever recorded, the U.S. Census Bureau reports.
Over the last year, the Biden administration added two million new foreign-born residents to the U.S. population — illegal aliens and legal immigrants on green cards and visas — serving as a boon for Biden’s billionaire donors in the financial industry who are some of the biggest beneficiaries of mass immigration and an ever-growing populace.
According to Steven Camarota at the Center for Immigration Studies, who analyzed the latest Census Bureau data, the foreign-born population hit nearly 47 million
Most voters believe President Joe Biden has divided the country despite promising to unite it, a survey from Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group found.
The survey, obtained first by Breitbart News, found 58.7 percent of voters express the belief that Biden has, indeed, divided the country during his time in office. Just one in five say he has unified the country, and another one in five remain unsure.
While a plurality of Democrats, 43.6 percent, believe Biden has unified the country during his time in office, that sentiment is not held by most Republicans or independents
The Republican Party needs to ramp up its election outreach or lose voter support, at least according to a very succinct survey.
Indeed, the proverbial Grand Old Party may not be so grand right now. The GOP’s popular appeal is not resonating with voters as the clock relentlessly ticks toward Election Day.(Snip)“Considering the failure of Afghanistan, inflation, student loans, the recession we are in, the attempted vaccine mandates, the border, and President Biden’s dark and dangerous speech recently, the Biden administration has been a complete disaster, and his record low approval numbers show that. Logically, one would think that national Republicans would be riding high, able to take advantage
Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan called the leak of the draft opinion overturning national abortion rights earlier this year “horrible” and suggested there could be an update on the probe into the perpetrator by the end of the month, according to multiple reports. It’s been more than four months since Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. tapped Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley days after the leak in May to lead the investigation and find out who did the leaking. A former Army lawyer and colonel who oversees the court grounds and security, Ms. Curley has been in the job less than a year. But observers say she appears to have
Members of King Charles III’s staff reportedly were given a redundancy notice during the service of thanksgiving for Queen Elizabeth II on Monday.
According to The Guardian, dozens of Charles’ staff at Clarence House could be jobless as he and the Queen Consort move into Buckingham Palace. The outlet shared that up to 100 employees are at risk with private secretaries, the finance office, the communications team and household staff positions on the line.
The outlet reported that several employees assumed that they would go with Charles to Buckingham Palace and did not know their positions were in jeopardy until they were served a letter Sir Clive Alderton,
CNN has turned to its trusted “experts” to argue that keeping violent criminals in jail would not keep people safe from violent criminals. This “news” report comes in the aftermath of violent attacks in Memphis, Tennessee. According to CNN’s Emma Tucker, “the suspects in two violent attacks there this month had been released from prison before serving their full sentences for prior convictions.” Naturally, it follows that if they had remained in prison where they belonged, they would not have been on the street to commit the gruesome crimes that they committed. Ah, but the “experts” see it differently! “Experts
Shocking photos show President Biden’s border crisis has hit a new peak in El Paso, Texas—where a historic flood of migrants has turned the city into what a local pol says resembles “a third-world country.” Regional Border Patrol Chief Gloria Chavez posted snapshots Monday night on Instagram that showed hordes of migrants dumped under an El Paso bridge over the weekend because the city has no more room to even process them. “We’ve never seen anything like this,” said outraged US Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), whose district covers part of the city, as El Paso began grappling with its highest daily influx ever last month.
All three major indexes plunged on Tuesday after worse-than-expected inflation data raised fears the Federal Reserve will need to continue raising interest rates aggressively to bring prices under control.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 1,300 points, while the broad-based S&P 500 fell by over 4%.
It was the worst day since June 2020 for both indices.
The Nasdaq suffered an even bigger loss, dropping over 5% for its worst day since March 2020.
The latest consumer price index showed prices rose by 8.3% in August from a year earlier. While that was less than in June, inflation didn't slow as much
Heinz will be forced to change its iconic ketchup bottles following the death of the Queen.
The manufacturing giant, along with other high-profile brands such as Gordon's Twinings and Bollinger all face having to scrap the late monarch's coveted coat of arms from their packaging.
The distinctive image depicts the lion of England, the unicorn of Scotland and a shield divided into four quarters, along with the words 'by appointment to Her Majesty the Queen'.
In the case of Heinz ketchup, this was displayed at the top and on the front of its bottles sold in the UK.
President Joe Biden celebrated the passage of the “Inflation Reduction Act” by hosting an event at the White House Tuesday, the same day the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report showing inflation had continued to rise in August, causing markets to plummet.
“This bill cut costs for families. Helped reduce inflation at the kitchen table, because that’s what [people] look at — how much of their monthly bills they have to pay out for their necessities,” Biden said in a speech delivered outside the White House, thanking West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin for voting for the bill.
“This bill alone is going to lower the deficit by $300 billion
Eagle Pass, Texas–Migrants have killed pets, stolen from shops and knocked on doors late at night in a Texas border town, prompting some residents to arm themselves, locals told Fox News. "I don't feel safe," Laura Ramos, an Eagle Pass business owner, told Fox News. She said she keeps "several weapons" at her store for defense.
Griselda, another local business owner whose employees are all female, said she used to close her business at 9 p.m. "We now close at seven because it gets dark, people are walking around, all girls, you just never know," she told Fox News.(Snip)"I live far from the downtown, but in that area,
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted Tuesday both that inflation was “essentially flat” and that it was OK for President Biden to host a large celebration of his Inflation Reduction Act — even though annual inflation remains elevated at 8.3%.
“Overall, prices have been essentially flat in our country these last two months. That is welcome news for American families with more work still to do,” Jean-Pierre said at her regular briefing, moments ahead of the large South Lawn bash.
Republicans, however, attacked Biden as “out of touch” for hosting a celebration for the environmental and healthcare spending bill
A new book by former Trump aide Peter Navarro claims that the former president was supportive of an attempt to remove his son-in-law Jared Kushner from having control over his 2020 campaign and replace him with Stephen Bannon. Navarro in the book, obtained by The Guardian, describes the plan as a “coup d’état,” but the change never occurred because Kushner refused. “And that was that. And the rest is a catastrophic strategic failure history,” Navarro wrote, according to The Guardian. Navarro, a critic of Kushner, will later this month release the book, titled “Taking Back Trump’s America: Why We Lost the White House and How We’ll Win It Back.”
The Biden administration will stop oil and gas drilling on more than 58,000 acres of federally-issued land after reaching a legal settlement with environmental activist groups on Sept. 6.
The Interior Department’s (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) agreed to halt drilling permits on 113 oil and gas leases across 58,617 acres of land in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota, according to the settlement. The DOI agreed to stop drilling after a coalition of environmental nonprofits led by WildEarth Guardians and the Sierra Club filed a lawsuit against the agency in January 2021.

Motion to Unseal Steele ‘Primary Source’
Evidence is Granted replies
Special Counsel John Durham’s request to unseal a motion in limine pertaining to the trial of Igor Danchenko, who has been identifed as the “primary source” behind ex-British spy Christopher Steele’s dossier, has been granted.
A motion in limine is a “pretrial motion asking that certain evidence be found inadmissible, and that it not be referred to or offered at trial,” according to Cornell’s Legal Information Institute. The Special Counsel’s motion to include the evidence against Danchenko reveals that the FBI was aware of his activities as early as July 2016.
“Beginning in or about July 2016 and continuing through December 2016, the FBI began receiving a series of reports
Railroads and labor unions worked through the weekend to make a deal. There were little signs of progress, and rail companies are now taking steps Monday to secure shipments of hazardous and security-sensitive materials "in light of the possibility of a rail labor strike," the Association of American Railroads (AAR) wrote in a statement. On Sunday, Norfolk Southern released a statement detailing it had "begun enacting its contingency plans for a controlled shut down of our network at 00:01 on Friday, Sept. 16." The railroad said two labor unions are holding out on new contracts, "we still do not have a commitment not to strike and must act accordingly,"
Clinton investigator Kenneth Star died Tuesday at 76 after a lengthy illness.
A Reagan judicial appointee and Solicitor General under George H.W. Bush, Starr earned his fame when he served as the independent counsel who led the investigation that led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton in the House.
He died at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center in Houston of complications from surgery.
Starr has argued 36 cases before the Supreme Court, including 25 during his service as U.S. Solicitor General from 1989 to 1993.
At her Coronation, the Queen wore a crown glittering with jewels and wielded a sceptre boasting the world's largest white diamond.
But a royal expert has predicted that Her Majesty will be buried with just two pieces of jewellery.
Lisa Levinson, head of communications at the Natural Diamond Council, told Metro.co.uk that it would be 'unlikely' that the 'humble' Queen will be buried with anything other than her 'simple Welsh gold wedding band to rest and a pair of pearl earrings'.
She added that her engagement ring, which contains diamonds taken from a tiara owned by Prince Philip's mother Alice of Battenberg, will likely be given to her daughter Princess Anne.
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden celebrated his climate change and drug pricing law, The Inflation Reduction Act, on Tuesday on the White House lawn, highlighting Democrats' commitment to progressive priorities even as high consumer prices continue to bite. Biden signed the $430 billion bill, seen as the biggest climate change package in U.S. history, into law last month in a low-key ceremony. The Tuesday event on the White House South Lawn brought together hundreds of CEOs, lawmakers, activists and interest groups who supported it, and gave Biden an opportunity to tout drug price caps, electric vehicle grants and a minimum corporate

Today, Special Counsel John Durham moved to unseal this motion in limine in the false statements case against Igor Danchenko.
This motion provides new information on the details of Danchenko’s lies to the FBI, further information on how Special Counsel Mueller ignored Danchenko’s false statements, expected testimony from Clinton-connected executive Charles Dolan, and one crazy development.
But we’ll start with the the most damning development: Danchenko was on the FBI payroll as a confidential human source from March 2017 through October 2020.(snip)For background purposes, here’s our discussion on the Danchenko indictment and what the FBI knew about Danchenko’s Clinton connections.
Foreign criminal syndicates are estimated to have stolen tens of billions of dollars in pandemic relief money, and a new inspector general’s report is shedding light on how some of that happened.
The Small Business Administration’s watchdog says the agency tried to block foreign applications for its Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL), one of two major programs to prop up businesses during the early pandemic shutdowns. But thousands of applications filed from foreign Internet Protocol addresses still got through the SBA’s firewall, causing the agency to dole out about $1.3 billion in payments the inspector general deemed at severe risk of being fraudulent.(Snip)Unemployment benefits were particularly vulnerable, with few
Gas prices are down, providing a boon for Democrats in November. But food prices remain sky-high, giving Republicans an opening to keep inflation a top-of-mind issue in the midterms.
The price of food at the grocery store is expected to increase by up to 11 percent this year with the cost of beef, poultry, milk, eggs and fruit driving the surge. Prices could shoot even higher with droughts affecting crops and a potential rail workers strike halting shipments needed for both food and crop production.
The government’s latest Consumer Price Index report released Tuesday shows overall food prices continued to rise, by 0.8 percent in August. That’s slightly down
The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has acknowledged publicly for the first time that the agency gave false information about its COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the agency’s director, said in a letter made public on Sept. 12 that the CDC did not analyze certain types of adverse event reports at all in 2021, despite the agency previously saying it started in February 2021.
“CDC performed PRR analysis between March 25, 2022, through July 31, 2022,” Walensky said. “CDC also recently addressed a previous statement made to the Epoch Times to clarify PRR were not run between February 26, 2021, to September 30, 2021.”
We saw in our earlier report about the inflation numbers that the news was not good for the American consumer — that core CPI went up sharply in August, even with gas prices dropping. That’s not a good sign and an indication that the rosy picture that the Biden team would like to paint of inflation is not reality.
The report has many economists concerned, and stock futures took a tumble Tuesday morning at the news, as the markets reacted to the new CPI data. Economists had predicted a lower annual inflation rate for August, and the 8.3 percent finding sent future tied to the S&P 500 down 1.4 percent,
Republican Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa is pushing for the Biden administration to play by the rules it expects Americans to follow with a new bill aimed at turning up the heat — literally — in solidarity with residents in California who have been plagued by energy shortages and the threat of rolling blackouts as a result of the left's so-called "green" energy policies.
"During a hot summer, liberal leaders told folks to set the AC to 78 degrees to compensate for failed Democratic policies,"
The major stock market indexes tumbled on Tuesday after a key measure of inflation came in worse than expected.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 900 points, for a 2.8 percent decline. The S&P 500 dropped 3.2 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 4.1 percent.
The drop, which undid a week worth of gains, came after the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 8.3 percent in August compared to the same time last year and increased 0.1 percent from the previous month.
The rise was worse than the 8.1 percent increase that economists had expected, according to Dow Jones estimates.

A majority of voters say President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act will actually increase inflation over the next year, with even more saying they view America's economy as being weak.
About 53% of voters said the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act would immediately increase inflation compared to just 21% who said it would help reduce inflation, according to a survey by the Harris Poll and HarrisX. Another 26% said the legislation would have no effect. The numbers reflect a nationwide pessimism toward the state of the economy, as 66% of voters say the economy is weak compared to 34% who say it shows signs of being strong,
For two years, families have experienced the dire consequences of massive government spending at the gas pump , the grocery store, and elsewhere. Two years of Democrats’ one-party control in Washington was all it took for basic day-to-day needs to become more and more unaffordable for millions of hardworking people. Indeed, a report released in June found that more than half of the public is now living paycheck to paycheck.
They have Democrats’ one-party rule in Washington to blame and the Biden administration’s expansion of government spending and new regulations, which has led us to a 40-year high inflation rate, economic stagnation, and lower wages

On Monday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) reacted to Vice President Kamala Harris maintaining the border is secure by pointing out that back in June 2014, then-President Barack Obama said there was a “humanitarian crisis” on the border when there were approximately 2,000 apprehensions per day on the southwest border, compared to the between 6,000 and 7,000 encounters per day at the border over the past two months. Johnson said, “[T]he governors in the southwestern states there are dealing with about 7,000 people per day that they’re encountering, and because of the Biden administration’s open-border policy, processing and dispersing all around
Sen. Lindsey Graham is set to introduce a new nationwide “late-term” abortion ban Tuesday—fewer than three months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and just two months out from the midterm elections, where the issue is likely to be front and center.
The South Carolina Republican is expected to call for a ban on most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy at a press conference with anti-abortion leaders, the Washington Post reported.
Graham’s office has not divulged any details on what the Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act entails ahead of the announcement. Graham has repeatedly introduced bills banning abortion
So much for the second iteration of “inflation’s over!” Today’s consumer price index report shows year-on-year inflation still roaring at 8.3%, thanks in part to soaring food costs, which offset a plateau on gasoline prices.
However, even without food and energy, inflation picked up steam last month, as core CPI rose back above six percent year-on-year, and 0.6% month-on-month:
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.1 percent in August on a seasonally adjusted basis after being unchanged in July, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 8.3 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The New York Times expects employees to start returning to the office three days a week starting this week — but more than 1,300 journalists are saying hell no, they won’t go.
It’s just the latest blow in the increasingly bitter contract dispute between the News Guild journalists union — which includes reporters and photographers, as well as some editors and business-side employees — and upper management, over wages. As of Monday, 1,316 Times workers had signed a pledge not to return to the office.

The White House is planning a celebration of President Joe Biden’s “Inflation Reduction Act” on Tuesday, even as consumer prices rose again in August, according to the latest numbers from the federal government.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index released Tuesday morning shows that inflation in August rose one-tenth of a percentage point from July and up 8.3 percent from the previous year. Grocery prices continue rising fast, as prices rose 0.7 percent from July and 13.5 percent from the previous year. Restaurant prices are up 0.9 percent from July.

Republicans have the potential for a surprisingly big victory come this November's midterm elections.
On virtually every front, people are finding themselves frustrated and frightened by a Democratic Party that is simply failing.
Ignore the media’s efforts to get you to focus on 2024 presidential politics and the unending effort to smear President Donald Trump. Your job is to stay focused on the issues that matter in the lives of everyday people. The cost-of-living crisis, especially the skyrocketing cost of food, comes first.
A newly unearthed video shows Charlie Crist, the Democratic nominee for Florida governor, comparing himself to Jesus Christ and calling Republican governor Ron DeSantis “DeSatan.”
The video, which was shared by DeSantis’s campaign on Monday, is from a March 17 event, according to the Daily Caller.

Have you heard that?” “DeSatan versus that,” Crist said, gesturing to a sign behind him featuring his own name, and one of the event attendees said, “Christ!”

Inflation rose more than expected in August, continuing to create severe financial pressure for U.S. households even as the cost of gasoline fell. The Labor Department said Tuesday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of the price for everyday goods including gasoline, groceries and rents, rose 8.3% in August from a year ago. Prices climbed 0.1% in the one-month period from July. Those figures were both higher than the 8.1% headline figure and 0.1% monthly decline forecast by Refinitiv economists, likely a worrisome sign for the Federal Reserve as it seeks to cool price gains and tame consumer
No matter who does abortion polling, it’s clear that the Democratic Party platform and their agenda of abortion through all nine months, for any reason at all and with taxpayer funding, is a loser with most Americans. Given all the recent stories claiming that Democrats are rising in the polls because of their support for abortion, a fact check is needed. The math contradicts today’s popular narrative because Americans don’t want the radical abortion agenda pushed by Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer.
Case in point: A Harvard Harris poll in June of this year found that not only did voters have tremendous concerns about the economy,
I realize in advance that this message is futile, but I will try once again. Republicans/conservatives are in the habit of repeating the same mistakes over and over and over and over and over, and never learning from their mistakes, much less changing tactics. Their slogan is, “It didn’t work last time? Or the time before then? Or the time before that? Then we must try harder at doing the same thing!”
Don’t forget, the Republican Party has been known for years (by their own constituents!) as The Stupid Party. And for good reason (just to take one example out of many, Republicans did not fight in Alaska to prevent
Our American republic did quite well for nearly a century without the IRS or its forerunner, the Office of the Commissioner of Revenue. Today, federal “revenooers” are the greatest threat to freedom in a country where liberty is already being lost at an alarming rate.
The IRS is more than a mere revenue collector for the federal government. It has often been used an instrument of intimidation, even terror, against political foes, and those who might not be so enthusiastic about paying income taxes, or simply have a financial hardship that limits their ability to pay.
In the history of American social movements, September 11 may take on new significance. September 11, 2022, is the day the powers that be allowed LGBWithoutTheT to trend on Twitter. In broad daylight, lesbians and gays disassociated themselves from the transgender movement, and Twitter gave them a platform. This was a major turnaround. Just a month earlier Twitter had banned “Gays Against Groomers” for “hateful conduct.” (snip) With the elections just two months away, the increasingly noisy and oppressive trans movement was becoming too much of a political liability.
A new pre-print study by nine health experts from major universities showed that the COVID-19 vaccines are 98 times worse than the virus, and mandatory booster vaccination in college is “ethically unjustifiable,” as reported by Epoch Times.

Berlin, Germany — A senior Israeli official called on Europe and the US on Monday to begin talking about demands for a “longer, stronger” nuclear agreement with Iran, saying current talks aimed at reviving a 2015 pact were dead after Jerusalem provided proof that Tehran had not been forthright during negotiations.
The official, traveling with Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s delegation to Berlin on Monday, spoke to reporters hours after the premier said he passed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz “sensitive and relevant intelligence information” on Iran’s nuclear program, and a day after Germany, France, and the United Kingdom issued a statement expressing “serious doubts” over Iran’s sincerity in seeking a nuclear agreement.

Joe Biden on Monday delivered remarks on the Cancer Moonshot initiative and his goal of ending cancer at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. Dementia Joe is going to cure cancer. “Today, I signed an executive order that directs the federal government to ensure biotechnologies invented in the United States of America are made in the United States of America,” said Biden. Biden’s speech was full of gaffes and awkward moments. At one point Joe Biden pointed to cancer patients sitting on the balcony and told them not to jump.
