Former President Donald Trump warned on Friday that China has “many thousands of spies working in the United States” in various industries amid a revelation that a Chinese spy balloon is flying over the continental United States.
“It’s rarely even mentioned that China has many thousands of spies working in the United States in business, finance, academia, technology, media and likely, even government, very sadly,” Trump declared.
Trump then called out President Joe Biden for ending Trump’s Department of Justice initiative that focused on combatting Chinese espionage within the country.

There's a 'd-word' that obsesses and terrifies the mainstream media every time a Republican starts talking tough about reining in America's out-of-control – dare I say, suicidal – federal spending.
Strikingly, the word is not 'debt.'
It's 'default'.
On Wednesday, Speaker Kevin McCarthy met for the first time with President Joe Biden to kick off negotiations ahead of the now-recurring, annual business of raising America's borrowing limit to finance its upward-spiraling debt.
'Default' was on the minds of reporters waiting for McCarthy outside the White House. 'Can you commit that the U.S. will not default on its obligations,' one asked.
No one – the least of which being McCarthy – wants America to fail

A powerful arctic blast swept into the Northeastern U.S. on Friday, pushing temperatures to a record low- with New Hampshire's Mount Washington recording a wind chill of -104 degrees Fahrenheit (-75 Celsius).
A National Weather Service (NWS) advisory said the mass of frigid air would keep temperatures at life-endangering levels through Saturday, warning of 'extremely dangerous' conditions from the 'short-lived blast.'
Situated in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire at 6,288 feet, the Mount Washington Observatory was dealing with a combination of extreme cold and strong winds from an intense blast of arctic air.

President Joe Biden opened a Friday afternoon event in Philadelphia by talking about his wife's intense love for the city's sports teams.
'As the mayor knows, she is one - self-assured Philly fan,' he said, pausing at one point to choose the correct words to express first lady Jill Biden's zeal.
'My wife hates violence, she says,' Biden continued. 'We went to a Flyers game a couple years ago. And the Secret Service is in a box, next to us, anyway. And a fight breaks out. And my wife who hates violence goes "get em, get em," jumping up. The Secret Service looks, "where the heck did that come from?"'

A newlywed New Jersey Republican councilwoman who was 'shot in the face' while driving her SUV home was seen 'speaking to a man' before the shooting.
Eunice Dwumfour, 30, was killed outside of her home in Sayreville, New Jersey on Wednesday night, with friends calling it a 'targeted and personal attack'.
She crashed her SUV and was slumped over the wheel after the attack, with horrified neighbors hearing multiple gunshots and then a crash.
Friends initially claimed that she was shot seven times in the face, and law enforcement sources say she was shot as many as 14 times in total.

McCarthy chose to defend the cold-blooded killer.
“I think the officer was doing his job.”
Ashli’s mother, Micki Witthoft, had strong words for McCathy.
“I just want to talk briefly about what Kevin McCarthy said today when he was asked about the murder of my daughter. If Kevin McCarthy…..we called for a while and his Bakersfield office would just pick up the phone and put it down…and the phone lines were clogged to begin with when we tried to call his office here in DC.”

The responses: 65 percent of respondents said it is more important “to control gun ownership” while 34 percent said it is more important “to protect the right of Americans to own guns.”

Homestead — Disturbing video of a young girl's assault on a school bus has gone viral, angering parents and inundating a South Florida school district with demands that someone be held accountable.
In the cellphone video, a student from Coconut Palm K-8 Academy in Homestead is seen pummeling a 9-year-old girl's head with his fists repeatedly as she tries to fend him off. He stops for a moment, and another boy quickly jumps in to take his place amid the shouts of onlooking classmates. No adult appears to intervene during the almost 40-second video.

Montana is famed for its empty plains, wild river canyons and its status as home to one of the nation's three publicly known large-scale nuclear missile silos.
So when a suspected Chinese spy balloon was spotted loitering in the air of the 'big sky state' it was not long before analysts suggested its most likely target: Malmstrom Air Force Base, which has been dubbed America's 'doomsday' base.
'Montana plays a vital national security role by housing nuclear missile silos at Malmstrom AFB,' state senator Steve Daines wrote in a letter to the Pentagon, raising the alarm on Thursday.
Its location in the west of the country meant the air base was marked out in the 1950s

Dolly Moore, who took video of the scene, said she 'saw a jet go by so fast and then explosion in the sky.'
As the video spread on social media, Defense officials have said the balloon over Montana has not exploded.
It comes after the US State Department called the balloon, which was traveling over U.S. airspace at 60,000 feet, a 'clear violation' of U.S. sovereignty,

He punctuated the post with a series of hearts, and attached about a dozen photos of the couple which prominently featured Dwumfour’s wedding ring.

Iran's crude oil exports have been surging in recent months on the back of higher shipments to countries like China, according to data from companies that track the flows.
Analytics firms like Vortexa, TankerTrackers and Kpler estimate an increase in Iranian crude and condensate exports over the past three months, averaging around 1 million barrels per day.
The numbers are far below the over 2.5 million barrels per day the Persian Gulf nation was exporting in early 2018 — before the Trump administration withdrew the US from the international nuclear deal with Tehran and imposed unilateral sanctions — but they are much higher than those at times during 2020

Any Democrat who thinks the party’s better-than-expected November midterm-election outcome was an affirmation of President Biden and the Democratic Congress policies and accomplishments will have a rude awakening reading the just-released NBC News poll. Conversely, any Republicans seeking support for their agenda would be equally hard-pressed to find it in the poll.
Americans continue to be deeply pessimistic about how things are going in the country. Just 23 percent of adults nationwide say the country was headed in the right direction, while 71 percent say it is on the wrong track. Richard Wirthlin, President Reagan’s pollster, used to call this question “the Dow Jones indicator of American politics.”

Former Pentagon officials have been left scratching their heads by the Biden administration's decision not to neutralize a Chinese spy balloon floating over U.S. mainland.
David Stillwell, who served as Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs under the Trump administration, told DailyMail.com the balloon was likely form of mind game by Beijing ahead of the meeting between Sec. Antony Blinken and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
'This demonstrates a common tactic by Beijing to test others before important meetings.'
He noted that in 2007 the Chinese shot an anti-satellite weapon before then-Defense Sec. Robert Gates arrived in the nation. The U.S. didn't cancel, but 'should have,' Stillwell said.

The left-wing media is out with a report claiming that former President Donald Trump has far less money at his immediate disposal than it appears.
“That bottom line was reflected in new documents filed last week by New York Attorney General Letitia James in her $250 million fraud lawsuit against Trump, three of his adult children, and his businesses,” The Daily Beast reported Wednesday.
“Those documents show that Trump—a billionaire on paper—only had control over about $65 million in liquid assets as he prepared to depart the White House,” the far-left outlet added.
While that’s a lot of money to the average American, it’s nothing to a multibillionaire.

New Census data show that roughly half of the states had net gains in population in 2022, and the other half net losses, thanks to what’s called internal migration. The winners were almost entirely red states, the losers blue. There’s a huge opportunity for conservatives, if they seize it.
Think about this migration trend for a minute. The map below shows the net migration of hundreds of thousands of people in 2022. (On this map, which is a screenshot from CBS News’ website, the redder a state the more people it lost, and the bluer the more it gained.)

The White House and Pentagon referred queries to the State Department, which didn't immediately return CNBC's request for comment. Blinken was slated to visit Beijing next week to meet his Chinese counterpart Minister of Foreign Affairs Qin Gang, as well as possibly Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Earlier on Friday, Chinese authorities said that the balloon operating over U.S. airspace was a civilian weather balloon intended for scientific research.

There is a certain demographic that appears to be on an organized mission to show the rest of us just how immoral and backward its philosophies really are.
Most notably, these ideologues salivate over unfettered abortion, even to the point when the act becomes definable as "infanticide," and they continue to push the envelope regarding "transgender" sex-change mutilations of children, even prepubescent ones.
Think they can't possibly commoditize human life more? Think again — the metaphorical "hold my beer" seems appropriate. From an article published yesterday at Boston.com:

There are two groups of Trump haters.
The first are what this writer terms, “The Weak Sister Crowd.” These are the whiners and crybabies who got their noses out of joint when Trump released a “mean” tweet that brought tears to their eyes. They’re the, “Trump said boo to the _____ (insert target group here), and I’m not going vote for him ever again” brainiacs.
The second group of NeverTrumpers are the Deep Swamp critters who benefit off the U.S. Feral Gruberment’s largesse. The Corrupocrats like Nancy Pelosi, who start wars and crises and then profit off them via their military-industrial complex stock portfolios. “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

FIRST ON FOX: President Biden secured a $250,000 line of credit against his Rehobeth Beach, Delaware, home as his son, Hunter Biden, faces an investigation into his tax affairs and amid his own classified documents scandal, records obtained by Fox News Digital shows.
Biden acquired the six-figure home equity variable rate line of credit from M&T bank on Dec. 5, 2022, Sussex County filings show. Biden and his wife, first lady Jill Biden, initially purchased the residence in 2017 for $2.74 million, according to county records.
It's unclear why Biden quietly secured the line of credit, which allows him to borrow up to a quarter of a million dollars against

Hunter Biden has friends in high places.
Two Delaware prosecutors whom the first son’s lawyer called upon to probe Hunter’s infamous laptop have deep ties to the Biden family — while a top DOJ official who received a similar demand is a veteran of the Obama administration and liberal think tanks, an analysis by The Post has shown.
In other developments in the laptop story:
Hunter Biden attorney Abbe Lowell tried to walk back his prior admission that the laptop did indeed belong to his client.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy dismissed the first son’s investigation demand as a “delaying tactic”

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) stated that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s approach to the debt ceiling is “most reasonable” and argued that spending reductions of 5-10% across the board should be explored.
Manchin stated, [relevant remarks begin around 3:45] “Kevin and I had a nice conversation a couple of weeks ago. And I think he’s most reasonable taking the approach, can’t we at least recognize 31.5 trillion is unmanageable and we shouldn’t be passing on to our children and grandchildren, we’re writing checks they can’t cash. And I know the president’s personality,

A Pfizer director of mRNA research and development, Jordon Trishton Walker, has been caught on tape saying what many women of childbearing age have most feared. He, too, worries about the longterm effect of the COVID-19 vaccine on the female hormonal balance, a key to fertility.
In an undercover video released by Project Veritas, he discusses the possibility that hitherto unknown aspects of mRNA technology in the COVID-19 vaccine could affect women’s hormonal and menstrual cycles.
Dr. Walker said, “There is something irregular about the menstrual cycles. So, people will have to investigate that down the line.”
“The [COVID-19] vaccine shouldn’t be interfering with that [menstrual cycles]. So, we don’t really
