Tulsi Gabbard’s last day as the director of national intelligence is upon us, after she resigned because of a major illness in the family. In her resignation note to the president, she cited her husband Abraham Williams’ recent diagnosis with sacral chordoma — an extremely rare tumor that develops in the sacrum at the base of the spine. In her resignation, she wrote that "He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle."

I'm usually a very kind and reasonable person, but after reading what Fauci did to the American people and to folks all over the world, I am so angry that if I could, I would pull the trigger on this evil, evil man. Please, Lord, forgive me for thinking this.

With Fauci, there was NO legitimate science, only his crooked, lying, profiteering which came at the cost of millions of lives. Fauci should be in prison, or better.....put up against a wall and shot.

What is staggering is that many (most?) highly intelligent, capable medical professionals who should know still have no idea as to the big picture regarding Covid including its origin, the intentionality of its release, and its effects. The "great benefit" of the shots is still locked into their thinking. Not to mention large portions of our population outside the medical field. It still remains what this portends for the future.

"The Science" was also twisted to give us Green Energy, windmills off every coast, solar panel farms, self-combusting cars, and probably thousands of new government regulations to make our lives "safer."

Remember all the Facebook and social media posts with people loftily calling skeptical people 'deniers' and proudly braying about being vaxxed themselves. I asked my long term GP what he thought about getting a booster and if had one himself. He looked at me and said no and didn't plan to. He also said to keep that to himself because they were under pressure to push the jabs. Now we find out that the vaccines came with some deadly side effects. I had the original at the behest of my kids..."You are old, dad, and the virus will likely kill you". Thankfully never got the booster. The original didn't work because I still got Covid anyway. Oddly, no smug posts anymore now lecturing the rest of us as science denying rubes. Wonder why those people have all but disappeared today?

Early in the Covid epidemic, some doctors discovered that if hydroxychloroquine or invermectine was administered in the early stages of Covid, it significantly improved the survive rate from Covid. Fauci fought to prevent this and smeared the reputation of these doctors. This increased deaths

President Trump late Thursday evening announced all trade negotiations with Canada have been terminated after the government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio of President Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs. Trump accused the government of Ontario of interfering with the Supreme Court’s decision on his tariffs. The high court is set to hear oral arguments on November 5 on Trump’s tariffs after a lower court ruled they were illegal. “The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs,” Trump said.

Ducking a heated debate can be extremely revealing about a politician. Take the case of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s outrageous hide-and-seek reaction after a Brooklyn coffee shop taunted Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) over his support for Israel and banned him from its Park Slope location. The owner of Poetica Coffee, Parviz Mukhamadkulov, took to Instagram to write, “Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee.

recently joined my dear friend AJ Rice on his new show, "Dangerous Laughter." It’s a cutting-edge example of new media that AJ describes as “political satire with a spine.” Somewhere between the laughs, the history lessons, and AJ's trademark ability to connect today's headlines to events most people slept through in high school, we landed on a topic that continues to haunt the American Left. Why are so many Latino Americans walking away from the Democrat Party? It's a question I explore in my new book, "The Rise of the Liberty-Loving Latino," but it's also a question Democrats seem uniquely incapable of answering honestly.

It’s amazing to think Keir Starmer was sold to us Brits as Mr. Sensible. He’ll be gloriously boring and that’s just what we need, said his media cheerleaders when he was elected prime minister in July 2024. After the tumult of Brexit, the wacky Boris Johnson years and all that lockdown lunacy, we need a little calm, they said. Enter Sir Keir. He’s a “safe pair of hands,” said every talking head. “The grown-ups are back in charge,” cried The Guardian. Fast-forward 23 months and Starmer has thrown in the towel. Far from steadying the good ship Britain, he’s left it in an unholy mess. Starmer’s Britain is a nation scarred by riots, fractured by social division,

New York’s immigrant Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani is trying to grab a leading role in the Democratic Party by using his urban political machine to defeat establishment Democrats. “Mamdani Burns Allies in Making a Big Bet for Congress and the Left,” said a June 21 headline in the New York Times, which describes how the ethnic Indian Mayor is trying to defeat leaders in the city’s Latino and Jewish blocs: Mr. Mamdani and allies are attempting to unseat two Democratic incumbents, Representatives Daniel Goldman and Adriano Espaillat, whom they view as too friendly to corporate donors and Israel. They want to lay claim to a third House seat.

As I've been reporting, Colombia had presidential elections last month, and on Sunday, there was a run-off between the Donald Trump-like right-winger, Abelardo de la Espriella (aka El Tigre), and current president Gustavo Petro's hand-picked socialist successor, Iván Cepeda. Well, we can say that another country in Latin America has taken a swing to the right because El Tigre won narrowly, though I'm willing to bet Petro and his folks were up to some funny business. I just don't buy that nearly half the country voted for the commie... or, at least, half of the 63.6% of people who showed up to the polls in Colombia and beyond.

The Zo-mentum is real. Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s far-left slate of Big Apple congressional hopefuls prevailed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary — with firebrand Darializa Avila Chevalier projected to pull off an AOC-style upset. Former city Comptroller Brad Lander and state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez were quickly projected by the Associated Press and NY1 to win over their establishment Democrat opponents.

The Senate voted 50-48 in favor of the war powers resolution, which passed the House ‌of Representatives early this month, reflecting growing concern even among some of Trump's Republicans about the unpopular conflict that began on February 28. It was the first time both chambers of Congress had passed a resolution directing a president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities since the War Powers Resolution

Hatfield was a philosophy student at the University of Lethbridge, according to Rebel News. Seth Hatfield from Alberta murdered a police officer, Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, and a local Jewish man, Michael Mizrahi, on Monday in a crazed shooting spree in a Jewish section of Montreal.

Unearthed audio suggests otherwise, and it’s a campaign killer, believe me. Talarico, the Democrat nominee facing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November's Senate race, has spent months trying to sell Texans on his Christian faith. But his past words have muddied that message. Talarico has previously claimed "God is nonbinary," argued that the bible sanctioned abortion, and described surgically altering the bodies of gender-confused children as an expression of God's love.
