Liberal "fact checkers" exist to protect Leftists. They insinuate that strong evidence that doesn't have a legal paper trail is "unproven". Yet, liberal media asserts things all the time that are blatantly lies and then echo chamber it as unassailable truth. Biden's senility is an example. They lie until it becomes impossible to get away with it, then they act astounded with the truth and try to cover their butts. THAT is the behavior of a propaganda organization, not a news organization. Meanwhile, Conservative people & groups follow strong evidence that raises SERIOUS questions and call for investigation. We are finding out that, much more often than not, there is good reason to investigate as serious illegalities are usually uncovered. Illegalities that have been deliberately covered up by Leftist government and other groups that were in control at the time. Thus Biden's team covered for Walz's grift in Minnesota. The list is endless and the path often ends with donations to the campaigns of the people (dems) who assisted with the corruption, this providing the reason why they supported it in the first place. This also explains the screaming over DOGE. DOGE wants payments to cover legal intent for the spending. Instead, the money was disappearing into a black hole and part of it coming back to dems or Leftist causes. The answer is to cut any spending that is unaccountable as to its end use. The media would say, "Oh, the money went to this NGO that has stated goals fitting the government outlay so that is OK". However, the NGO passes it on to others who are unaccountable and the check that can be done show they spend it in ways that are not legitimate. The media would say "There is no "evidence" of that, so there is no proof, no problem." Yet there is clear evidence there is a HUGE problem. The media just doesn't want us to chase it because they KNOW what we will find and it will threaten funding of their Leftist friends.

In the entire universe, there is nothing more useless--and very little that is less destructive--than leftist "fact checkers." They exist to confirm leftist lies. That's all they are about. The main reason I canceled my subscription to The Tampa Bay Times (which used to be the St. Petersburg Times) was its creation of an entity called factcheck.org. Professional liars. No can do.

I quit wasting time with the left wing fraud site "Snopes" decades ago. It was abundantly clear that they function totally to cover up inconvenient facts that might interfere with leftist narratives, and to "prove" lies about conservatives. Snopes is a political site, masquerading as a 'fact checker'. It's all lies, all the time.

The anti-ICE crew is completely out of control at this point, trying to stop the enforcement of the law. We've seen them do a lot of vile and disgusting things, from disrupting a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, to launching racist invective at a black ICE agent because they thought they were better than him. It's crazy that ICE agents and other federal agents helping to enforce immigration laws have to put up with this mania and obstruction. But it looks like folks who are anti-anti-ICE may be getting creative, as revealed in a post from Blue Lives Matter. This may be one of the greatest posts ever

Vice President JD Vance is heading to Minneapolis on Thursday, set to deliver a powerful message of "unwavering support" for ICE agents amid escalating tensions provoked by leftists trying to impede law enforcement from detaining criminals. Vance, according to a release from the Office of the Vice President, plans to hold a roundtable with local leaders, meet directly with ICE personnel, and deliver remarks on restoring law and order in the City of Lakes. Axios reports that, perhaps to the chagrin of those local leaders—some of whom, like Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Mayor Jacob Frey (D), themselves face subpoenas for allegedly interfering with federal operations—Vance is "not planning any peace offerings

Gore booed Lutnick while the Commerce secretary was giving a speech at an invite-only dinner event hosted by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Mediaite reported on Wednesday. The report comes after Lutnick criticized Europe during his remarks, which prompted European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde to suddenly leave the dinner event, multiple outlets reported. “I sat and listened to his remarks,” Gore said Wednesday in a statement provided to Mediaite. “I didn’t interrupt him in any way.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has advised Don Lemon that the federal criminal statutes bearing on the riot disrupting Sunday’s service at Cities Church in St. Paul don’t apply to the rioters’ misconduct. “People have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace. None of us are immune from the voice of the public,” according to Ellison. “Quite honestly, I think you’ve got the First Amendment freedom of religion and the First Amendment freedom of expression, and I think that, you know, it’s just something you’ve got to live with in a society like this.” Ellison to the contrary notwithstanding, two federal criminal statutes

Karine Jean-Pierre. Remember her? In 2022, Jean-Pierre made history as the first openly gay black female lesbian of color to serve as White House press secretary. Journalists and other Democrats squealed with joy. In 2025, Jean-Pierre announced she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent, primarily as a means of expressing solidarity with Hamas. She wrote a memoir defending Joe Biden's zombie reelection campaign. It was so bad that it forced Democrats to abandon their faith in DEI. They could finally admit that Republicans were right. Former colleagues rushed to denounce Jean-Pierre as "incompetent," "ineffectual," and "unprepared." The Washington Post charitably described her as a "devoted apparatchik" with

Ellison appeared on Lemon's YouTube show on Monday to discuss the protest, in which Lemon accompanied Minneapolis attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, St. Paul school board member Chauntyll Allen, and other activists on "Operation Pull Up," the Washington Free Beacon reported. The group disrupted services at Cities Church in St. Paul based on the belief that a pastor there works for ICE,

Disgraced former CNN host Don Lemon colluded with anti-ICE activists now under investigation for storming a Minnesota church on Sunday—a "clandestine" operation that Lemon helped keep secret ahead of time before publicizing it once it began. Lemon, who was fired from CNN in 2023 over mistreatment of female colleagues, accompanied Minneapolis lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong on "Operation Pull Up" at Cities Church in Saint Paul to protest the ICE shooting earlier this month of 37-year-old Renee Good. According to Armstrong, the operation targeted Cities Church because an associate pastor is allegedly the acting director of Saint Paul’s ICE office. "We show up somewhere that is a key location," Armstrong told Lemon

Once again, I’m going to bite my tongue because I have respect for Professor Jacobson. But my goodness, I want to go off on Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. As we all know, Don Lemon and an anti-ICE mob ambushed a church in Minneapolis. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon suggested Don Lemon and the anti-ICE mob could face charges under the KKK Act. Ellison? Well, he had a message for Christians: Deal with it. To make it better, Ellison said this on Lemon’s podcast. Thank you, Teri Christoph, for transcribing: The protest is fundamental to American society. This country started in a protest. It’s freedom of expression.

Eric Swalwell's political ambitions just hit a major snag. Swalwell, most famous for public flatulence and bedding a Chinese spy, wants to be the next governor of California, but he is now the target of a court challenge that could blow his entire gubernatorial campaign out of the water before it even gets started. The accusation? He doesn't actually live in the state he wants to govern. Conservative activist and filmmaker Joel Gilbert dropped a legal bomb on January 8, filing a petition in Sacramento Superior Court arguing that Swalwell is constitutionally barred from seeking the governor's office. Gilbert has a strong case.

"We will pursue charges in this case. I see various crimes that have occurred," Dhillon said. "Exactly what they are, I'm not gonna flag, but the FACE Act has

There has been extensive excitement, in both directions, over the activist stunt that took place in St. Paul this weekend involving disgraced former CNN journalist Don Lemon. That is to say, social media has been all over his participation, but the conventional media apparatus has been notably muted in addressing what went on Sunday. This event could turn out to be a crucial fulcrum in the way the nation is headed. As we have reported, an organized group from the Black Lives Matter movement convened on Sunday to bull rush a church service in the city under the guise

The iconic mall began spiraling downward with the rest of the Democrat run city after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wells Fargo is relocating the headquarters of its wealth management business to West Palm Beach, becoming the first major U.S. bank to base its wealth operations in Florida, the company confirmed Monday. The San Francisco-based bank signed a lease for 50,000 square feet at the One Flagler office building, according to wealth chief Barry Sommers. About 100 employees, mostly senior executives including nearly half of the unit’s operating committee, will relocate to the new office by year-end, Bloomberg reported. The office is scheduled to open in August. Wells Fargo’s wealth unit generated $16 billion in revenue last year, accounting for roughly 20 percent of the bank’s total revenue.

Cuba's communist leadership is talking very tough about its willingness to fight to the last man. Over the weekend the country announced plans for a "state of war." The Cuban national defence council said it had approved “plans and measures” to declare a “state of war” to be enacted in the country, state media reported on Sunday. No details were given as to how this would be implemented, but the press release said the measures would be based on the concept of “war of all the people”, a strategy promoted in the 1980s under the country’s former leader Fidel Castro as the allied Soviet Union was collapsing.

Often referred to as the “Fairytale Kingdom,” courtesy of its native son, Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark is a remarkable country that has been an exceptional ally of the United States for well over 200 years.
