Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley brushed off a question Wednesday about how her wealth jumped to as much as $8 million after initially entering Congress with a negative net worth. Pressley entered Congress after upsetting incumbent Democrat Rep. Michael Capuano of Massachusetts in a 2018 primary election, according to Ballotpedia, and her initial financial disclosure led some to conclude her net worth was in the negatives. Fox Business reporter Chad Pergram questioned Pressley after her financial disclosure for 2024 indicated a net worth of as much as $8 million, due to multiple rental properties in Massachusetts and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Running for political office is and has always been a money raising activity. It is legalized asking for money --- all for the campaign, but the money can be spent on personal expenses, which can be higher for lifestyles like Pressley thinks herself entitled.

Time for Ayanna to meet the economic proctologist at Internal Revenue. Where'd that money come from? No good explanantion? Disgorge, then off to jail. Any politician, of either party, who becomes rich after going to Congress should be suspected of being a criminal. That means you, Pelosi Galore.

FTA: "Pressley’s husband, who served a prison term for drug trafficking, has reportedly raked in as much as $1,000,000 in 2024, according to the latest financial disclosure." I heard he'd served ten years before they married. They are not going to answer reoirter questions. Go higher!!!

Our government becomes the perfect example of a criminal organization. It's way more than the Squad. I remember an old time political cartoon that depicted our government as a giant octopus with its tentacles hooked into everything. It's still true today.

President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to prevent the opening of a bridge that will connect Michigan and Canada unless Ottawa negotiates with Washington on tariffs and the exclusion of American products. In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump accused Canada of taking advantage of the United States with unfair trade practices and cozying up to China. In an effort to bring Canada to the negotiating table, Trump said he would not allow the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which is named after the legendary Canadian ice hockey player who played for the Detroit Red Wings. The bridge, which is currently under construction,

In the wake of a deadly semi-truck versus van accident in Indiana last week, increased scrutiny is being placed on a shadowy network of trucking companies that seem to be responsible for putting illegal aliens and unqualified foreign nationals – many who don't even speak English – in the driver's seat of big rigs that criss-cross the United States every day. One of these drivers, Kygryzstani national Bekzhan Beishekeev, is believed to be responsible for the February 3 crash in Indiana that killed four members from the local Amish community who were traveling in the van that was hit head on by Beishekeev (three of the victims were from one

In a stunning reversal, the Trump Justice Department on Monday asked the Supreme Court and a federal judge to dismiss the criminal contempt indictment and conviction of Steve Bannon for refusing to testify in the January 6 investigation by Congress, declaring such a request is in the “interests of justice" after years of politically weaponized lawfare by Democrats. The move by DOJ is extremely rare -- but not unprecedented -- considering Bannon was already convicted and served time in prison. "The government has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice,” Solicitor General John Sauer wrote in a brief to the nine justices,

A radical left-wing group in Los Angeles has published a shocking 40-page roadmap to transform the nation’s second-largest city into a bizarre socialist experiment. The Democratic Socialists of America’s LA chapter wants to straight-up seize private property through a “creative use of eminent domain,” take control of your neighborhood grocery store, and replace cops with unarmed social workers while shutting down jails. Their Communist fever dream wishlist includes banning Airbnbs, grabbing golf courses for public housing, allowing non-citizen immigrants to vote in local elections, enforce a school curriculum that supports social justice and eliminating all fossil fuel use by 2035. The 3,500 member group has already helped elect several candidates

Delis, car washes, gas stations, hardware stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot — any workplace known to attract illegal migrants — will be infiltrated by teams of at least five to interfere with a fed takedown.

Gen Z, this will smart. The generation born between 1997 and 2010 is the very first generation who did worse in school than the generation before them, according to a top neuroscientist. And shockingly, they are proud of it. “They’re the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized academic tests than the one before it,” Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, 43, told The Post. “And to make matters worse, most of these young people are overconfident about how smart they are. The smarter people think they are, the dumber they actually are. “They underperformed on basically every cognitive measure, from basic attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function and general IQ.”

The plan was put in place after Comer rejected requests for a closed-door deposition and written testimony. On Thursday, the former Secretary of State accused Comer of “moving the goalposts,”

Colin Demarco, age 26, who reportedly feared Trump’s reelection would lead to a “fascist takeover,” was charged after he appeared at Vought’s Northern Virginia home wearing a surgical mask and gloves, court records show. U.S. Marshals Service reportedly found during the investigation that Demarco had claimed to have written a manifesto that detailed weapons and a “Body Disposal Guide,” per CBS News. The court records show that Demarco is accused of plotting to murder a victim with the initials “R.V.” who, according to the criminal complaint,

Mamdani visited the attempted stabber in the hospital using him as the poster stabber for his police defunding campaign. “This situation underscores just how urgently we need a different and more effective mental health response system,” Mamdani argued. “Jabez needs mental health treatment, not criminal prosecution by a district attorney.”

The problem was the show’s conceit: It was a message of unity, inclusion, and togetherness — in a language that 85% of the population doesn’t understand and cannot speak. That’s not unity. That’s division. Lo siento, Bad Bunny and/or the NFL, but the underlying metrics of the NFL’s Super Bowl halftime show didn’t make a lick of sense: Only about 14% to 18% of the U.S. population speaks fluent Spanish — which means, of course, that 86% to 82% do not.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Seattle Seahawks used a dominant defense and the strong running of game MVP Kenneth Walker III on Sunday to crush the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX. It was the Seahawks’ second Super Bowl title in four appearances. It came 12 years after Seattle defeated Denver 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII -- a fitting nod to the 12th man that has fueled the energy at Seahawks’ home games. The game, before 70,823 fans at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, showcased a punishing, opportunistic defense by the Seahawks that rendered Patriots quarterback Drake Maye mostly ineffective all night.

The race was on hold for more than 20 minutes as Vonn was tended to on the course. The scene at Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre was eerily quiet, as thousands at the bottom of the mountain, including Vonn's family, were left stunned and largely speechless.

Democrats push hard for every possible advantage in elections, but courts sometimes draw a line. U.S. District Judge William L. Osteen Jr. delivered a ruling that defined those lines by rejecting a Democratic demand for early voting sites on three North Carolina university campuses. His ruling carried an unmistakable tone of impatience toward a case that tried to dress political convenience as constitutional necessity. The College Democrats of North Carolina argued that without on-campus sites, students would need to travel off campus to vote, imposing time and transportation burdens on young voters. That's the premise Judge Osteen rejected, making clear that elections aren't built to require perfect comfort;
