There’s a new video making the rounds, and it’s raising a massive red flag and asking: Did Obama and Eric Holder get paid to rig court cases? That’s the question many are now asking, and the allegations are so serious that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel should take a closer look once they get their offices setup. (snip)This disturbing story centers around a small, relatively unknown innovator who developed some cutting-edge wireless technology—and then had it allegedly stolen by Qualcomm. When he sued for patent infringement, the court ruled in his favor. But here’s where things get deeply disturbing and very interesting…

Remember when President Trump established the “External Revenue Service?” … It’s all connected and sequential.

(snip) we will explain:(snip)So, Canada and Mexico get 25% tariffs, but China only 10%. Why? The secret is in that subsection “(h)” when it talks about de minimis treatment. Essentially, what President Trump is doing is levying a much more massive import tax, and possible confiscation impact on the core source of fentanyl (and other illegal) substances.

PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump has fired the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Rohit Chopra, in the latest purge of a Biden administration holdover.

During Trump's first term, the Republican had picked Chopra as a Democrat member of the Federal Trade Commission. Chopra was notified of his firing in an email from the White House, according to a person familiar with the notice who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly

In the wake of the deadly midair collision at Reagan National Airport, it’s important that we reassess our nation’s aviation safety standards. President Trump said on Thursday that safety standards declined under Joe Biden, and let me tell you, he is right. To illustrate this point, let’s look at his first nominee to lead the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Phil Washington. During his confirmation hearing, Washington faced significant scrutiny over his lack of knowledge of essential aviation regulations. Washington struggled to provide answers to a series of basic questions that one would expect from someone nominated for the position of FAA administrator.

To Rein In Birthright Citizenship

In his first hours in office, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order curtailing the practice of unlimited birthright citizenship. Many think the Fourteenth Amendment calls for citizenship for everyone born in America.(snip) At the heart of the debate is this phrase: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” This central clause raises questions about its application for some children of non-citizens and illegal immigrants. By revisiting the original debates surrounding the amendment’s language and reviewing its implications, Trump’s call for limiting the scope of birthright citizenship appears reasonable.

Many have written about the liberal bias of PBS and NPR over the years, particularly when it relates to the news and news talk shows. Almost all media bias charts put both NPR and PBS on the left. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) receives a yearly congressional appropriation of about $575 Million. Funding for public television comes from the government (at all levels) and the private sector in roughly equal amounts. Approximately 75% of the CPB’s funding goes to public television, while 25% goes to public radio. About 70% of funding for local NPR stations comes from government sources.

A French gynaecologist has been barred from practising for a month because he refused to examine a transgender patient on the grounds that he was only qualified to treat “real women”. Dr Victor Acharian was accused of transphobia after he turned the patient away in August 2023, and LGBT groups lodged complaints. In December he appeared before a disciplinary board of the French Medical Council and he has now been suspended for a month from March 1, with an additional five months’ probation. Édouard Martial, a lawyer representing the patient, said: “We have the satisfaction of having confirmation that what happened that day was totally abnormal.” SOS Homophobie, a transgender activist group,

Former President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, and former Chief of Staff, Kelly Magsamen, have sparked controversy by launching a personal attack on Pete Hegseth after a fatal plane crash involving a military helicopter and an American Airlines aircraft. In a sharp rebuke, the former defense official, who helped Austin cover up his absence from the Pentagon during a health crisis in January 2024, attacked Hegseth for his comments about DEI and falsely accused him of blaming the female co-pilot, Capt. Rebecca Lobach, for the incident.

Foreign aid to Ukraine has become a heated debate with Democrats — and a surprising number of Republicans — insisting that it’s essential for bolstering Ukraine’s defenses against Russia. Joe Biden even went so far as to suggest that Republican resistance to additional aid played a role in the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. I could easily rattle off more quotes from Biden and congressional Democrats emphasizing just how critical they claim this aid to be. Biden was quick to make sure that Ukraine got even more aid before Trump took office. Despite the alleged critical nature of this aid, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Republicans on Capitol Hill have largely fallen in line with Donald Trump’s move to impose tariffs on the US’s biggest trading partners, with the notable exception of the former Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, who called it a “bad idea”. With even Trump admitting that the tariffs – 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% on China – might cause “some pain”, there was mostly strong support from the president’s loyalists. Jason Smith, chair of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives, said the tariffs would “send a powerful message that the United States will no longer stand by
