As RedState reported, the judges of the U.S. District Court in New Jersey voted to oust Alina Habba from her role as the top federal prosecutor in the state. That came after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) publicly demanded the move, claiming she was a "woefully unqualified political hack," leading the Department of Justice to decry what they saw as a politically motivated decision.Because Habba has not been confirmed by the U.S. Senate, her appointment had a 120-day expiration, with the district court judges in question having the ability to keep her in the position. Instead, they refused and hand-selected her replacement, Desiree Grace,

Pretty strange. Habba made Grace her number 2 Deputy ,the judges liked that and yet they want to dump Habba anc keep Grace who was just fired by Bondi. These never Trump judges are getting crazier by the minute.

Judges get to decide who the prosecutor is? The more I learn about the judicial branch the less I trust it.

There was once an interesting Egyptian semi-auto rifle called the Hakim (Pronounced Hakeem). I wouldn't mind having that around. The people named Hakeem? Not so much.

FTA: Whatever happens, it doesn't seem like the president is keen to back down. I don't know that PDJT 2.0 has ever backed down. As Booker and Kim are not submitting Blue Slips for Habba, the Senate should just ignore them. Anymore, the DemoRoids only pay attention to rules when the rules benefit them. Time to fight fire with fire.

LA home linked to ‘TikTok cult’ pastor

Federal agents descended upon a California home connected to the “TikTok Cult” pastor who was the subject of a recent Netflix documentary series Friday — as part of an investigation into sex trafficking and other criminal claims. Several people were detained after a Tujunga home partially owned by Pastor Robert Shinn was raided by agents from the FBI, IRS, US Postal Service and Department of Labor, the Los Angeles Times reported. Officials served warrants related to allegations of sex trafficking, money laundering, mail fraud, tax evasion and COVID-19-related fraud, according to the outlet.
Trump has momentum heading into Aug. 1
‘reciprocal tariff’ deadline after

President Trump has “leveraged American bargaining power” with three Asian nations this week — and given himself momentum ahead of the looming Aug. 1 deadline for most “reciprocal tariffs,” experts predict. Trump secured Japan’s agreement to pay a 15% tariff on exports to the US while making $550 billion in new investments in America in what he called a “signing bonus” — while Indonesia and the Philippines said they would accept 19% tariffs on their goods while applying 0% tariffs on US products. “I was a little bit surprised by the extent to which the US, at least at this stage of the game,

Shortly after the fatwa was announced, Mansour Emami, the state-appointed head of Iran's official Islamic Propagation Organization... announced that a reward of 100 billion tomans (approximately $1.14 million) would be paid to anyone who "brings the head of Trump." On top of that, reports from inside Iran reveal that the regime and its supporters have reportedly raised more than $40 million in a crowdfunding campaign to murder Trump. What has the response been from the international community? Silence.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) drew widespread mockery Thursday over a since-deleted social media post that showed how the cost of groceries skyrocketed under former President Joe Biden. The X post included a graph of soaring cheese, alcohol, dairy, grocery, produce and meat prices dating back to October 2019, with the major inflection point being near the start of the Biden administration in 2021. “Trump’s America,” read the tweet shared by @TheDemocrats. “Prices are higher today than they were on July 2024 all in major categories listed below,” read the caption on the graphic, which did not note the source of the data.

Ghislaine Maxwell is assembling “new evidence” to present to the feds when she meets with them this week, her brother told The Post. Jeffrey Epstein’s madame never gave her version of events to federal prosecutors before her 2021 trial, which resulted in a 20-year sentence for recruiting women and underage girls for Epstein to sexually abuse. She also never testified in her own defense. “She will be putting before that court material new evidence that was not available to the defense at her 2021 trial, which would have had a significant impact on its outcome,” Ian Maxwell told The Post in an email Wednesday.

America deserves better than the degenerate propaganda machine that passes for “elite” journalism. We deserve better than the evil “cracked out clown show” the Democratic Party has become. The New York Times and The Washington Post all but ignored DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s bombshell press conference Wednesday, at which she announced that she had sent criminal referrals to the DOJ and FBI implicating former President Barack Obama and his national security team in the “seditious conspiracy” of the Russia collusion hoax.

CIA officers warned Brennan about the shoddy nature of the sentence fragment, and initially omitted the fragment in the report. But Brennan personally demanded the fragment be included. The Russia hoax was built on a six-word sentence fragment that entirely lacked context or credibility, according to a report declassified by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard. The report makes clear that former President Barack Obama and his jackboots henchmen — former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan, former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper —

The climate alarmists regularly seize on weather events they believe will help them exploit their narrative. Naturally, they ignore contradictory information. So we see it as our duty to fill in the gaps from time to time. Following are a few examples that show why the global warming story is less scientific theory than conjecture in the service of a political agenda. Let’s begin in the West Arctic, where the Northwest Passage is experiencing its third-highest level of sea ice extent in the last two decades. In 2009, Al Gore said, with his usual galling listen-to-me certainty,
The fruitful results of increasing CO2 4 replies

Among the climatically correct, nothing is more scandalous than describing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as beneficial. You can be blacklisted from public forums, professional networking sites, and even be removed from your tenured university position as an accomplished scientist. Nonetheless, the truth is this: CO2 is fundamental to the photosynthetic process by which plants make food for themselves -- and ultimately for us. Furthermore, the increase in atmospheric CO2 from industrial activity in the past century has helped vegetation over most of the planet to flourish. Also benefiting plants has been the relative warmth of recent decades.
The ultimate fake news by omission 1 reply
Posted by Mercedes44 7/23/2025 6:19:26 AM Post Reply
President Trump appropriated the phrase “fake news” and applied it to dishonest media (print, networks, websites, podcasts, etc.). Most fake news isn’t incorrect facts or flat-out lies; that’s way too obvious and easy to prove wrong. Instead, most fake news is done by omission — telling part of the story so the reader comes to a different conclusion or completely omitting the story so the reader has no idea that it ever happened. A great example of fake news by omission was during the 2020 election cycle, when most “mainstream” media refused to report on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

There was a theme to the Obama years: say one thing, mean another, and spin it all as “historic.” This week, Barack Obama trotted out that same tired formula—this time in response to the bombshell DNI report declassified last Friday.His statement? “Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes.” Cute. But irrelevant. Because no one—certainly not the DNI—claimed Russia manipulated votes. That’s not the point. The actual claim from the Director of National Intelligence—now Tulsi Gabbard—is that Obama-era officials manufactured a narrative, suppressed contradictory intelligence,

Wealthy nations that fail to limit their fossil fuel use and reduce pollution could be held financially liable by countries most affected by climate change, says the United Nations' top court in a new opinion issued Wednesday. The 15-judge International Court of Justice (ICJ), based in The Hague, Netherlands, concluded that international treaties require developed countries to curb global warming and oversee the climate impact of companies operating under their jurisdiction.[snip] The court’s finding extends legal responsibility beyond governments to include private corporations operating within national borders.

What's the only gear a French car has? Reverse. That's an old joke that I remember an uncle telling many years ago, and it's evergreen. Amid the rise of Islamist influence across the world, specifically in Western countries, France has decided to do what it does best: Preemptively surrender. French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Thursday that he and his nation will formally recognize a "Palestinian State," rewarding the murderous terrorists who still control Gaza and the West Bank. That will officially take place at the UN General Assembly, set to happen in September. Hamas was quick to take advantage, thanking Macron

It's striking how similar NPR's situation is to that of Planned Parenthood. Both organizations have an affiliate model and both just had a lot of federal money cut from their budgets. That means both are now hoping to find new sources of funding to keep the doors open. The NY Times reports there has been an increase in donations to PBS and NPR but so far the amount isn't nearly enough to offset the cuts. Over the last three months, as the prospect of the cuts intensified, roughly 120,000 new donors have contributed an estimated $20 million in annual value,

I suspected that this was the case, and even said so in a recent radio interview. But I have been very reluctant to write about it because I am not a lawyer, so I can only use my common sense and layman's understanding of the law in what must be a very, very complex question. But Trump, who certainly has access to excellent legal advice, has just said that Obama has immunity from prosecution for any crimes he may have committed in conspiring to use falsified intelligence to undermine Trump's presidency, set up a phony impeachment, and perhaps put Trump in jail.

You can almost hear the death rattle emanating from Media Matters for America (MMFA), the unofficial (wink-wink) media arm of the Democrat Party, which unironically calls itself the "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media." From the New York Times: The organization, which is funded by some of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, has racked up about $15 million in legal fees over the past 20 months to defend itself against lawsuits by Elon Musk, in addition to investigations by Mr. Trump’s Federal Trade Commission and Republican state attorneys general.

There aren't many things out there that will make a grown man tear up. Watching 32,000-pound fighter jets fly by in full afterburner with "God Bless the U.S.A." playing in the background is one of them. The Navy's Blue Angels have been a staple of Americana for decades, thrilling audiences and bestowing a sense of national pride like few others can. The first time I saw them at an air show as a child, I was mesmerized. The low passes and the tight formations were incredible, and the sound of freedom was unforgettable.

Unpopular opinion: all Muslim immigration should come to an end. When President Trump first called for a pause in Muslim migration he was met with hysteria. Yet despite the hysteria has Islamic immigration truly enhanced and contributed to this country? The answer is undoubtedly "no." Zohran Mamdani proves that while not all Islamic immigrants are terrorists, their values are not in line with America. Zohran Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and became an American citizen just seven years ago, is a cautionary tale of the dangers of third-world Muslim immigration. Despite having benefited from the American dream, all he can seem to do is advocate for anti-American ideology.

Two siblings in Eastpointe, Michigan, are facing multiple charges related to a shooting near a Foot Locker store that occurred on May 3. The altercation left two people dead and one seriously injured. At around 2:50 p.m., Lakylia Taylor (19) and her brother Dejuan Taylor (21) arrived at the Foot Locker parking lot with some friends. After exiting the vehicle they began walking toward the store when they came across a Jeep Compass parked nearby. This vehicle contained another group of young men. Tyjaune Pierre Morrs-Turner emerged from the Jeep with three others carrying a handgun and got into an argument with Dejuan. The verbal dispute soon turned physical,

Colbert and his allies in the Pravda Media/entertainment complex--along with Democrats--are insisting that the former funnyman was fired at the behest of President Trump. The accusation is absurd. You can't lose tens of millions of dollars a year and expect to keep your $15 million a year job. The math doesn't work. But, as we know, propaganda works with people who want to believe it. All you need is an authoritative voice to say the most absurd things, and people inclined to believe it, will. Even many who do not start out believing it come to do so, based on the "when there is smoke, there's fire principle.

A federal judge refused Friday to invalidate the state, city and county laws designed to protect undocumented immigrants in Chicago by prohibiting local law enforcement officials from helping federal agents, tossing a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump. U.S. District Court Judge Lindsey Jenkins’ decision to grant Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s request to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice without holding a full trial is a major win for officials seeking to prevent federal officials from slashing billions of dollars in federal aid to Chicago and Illinois.
