A woman dubbed 'America's worst mayor' will be probed by former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot after her town vetoed her attempts to block any investigation - the decision sent a town meeting into chaos. Police, on Monday, were forced to break up the room as the situation devolved following a 4-2 vote by the town board to reinstate Lightfoot, who will conduct an investigation into Mayor Tiffany Henyard. The Dolton mayor - who spoke into a golden microphone during the meeting - is currently under federal investigation, as well as immense pressure from her constituents to resign. She is being...

Payne Jr. (D-NJ) died on April 24th at 65. Before his death, Payne spent the last two weeks in a coma due to having a heart attack and complications with diabetes.

Hackers targeted several high-profile TikTok accounts, including hotel heiress Paris Hilton’s — and planted malicious code on the official page of CNN, according to reports. The malware is being spread through TikTok via its direct messaging function, Forbes reported on Tuesday. The hack is a so-called “zero-day” attack — meaning that the hacker learned of the vulnerability before the software developers who thus have “zero days” to prevent it. Certain attacks are exploited through vulnerabilities that sometimes take the developers days or weeks to discover. CNN was forced to take down its TikTok account for several days after a hacker...

A top New York Times union organizer posted on X that Zionists are “butchers” and “depraved monsters” — igniting a firestorm in the newsroom, The Post has learned. In addition to posting comments like Zionists “know how to kill,” Nastaran Mohit, organizing director of the NewsGuild of New York — who works on behalf of Times employees under a union contract — called the Gray Lady itself a “decrepit institution,” according to comments reviewed by The Post. In response to a post celebrating the Times winning a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the war in Gaza, she posted it...

WILMINGTON, Del. — For the first time Tuesday, first son Hunter Biden’s notorious “laptop from hell” — whose scandalous contents were first reported by The Post nearly four years ago — was shown to a jury of his peers, with federal prosecutors making it a key part of their case accusing the president’s child of illegally owning a gun while addicted to drugs. The pivotal moment unfolded after prosecutor Derek Hines brought out a plastic-wrapped laptop, walked it across the courtroom and presented it to his first witness, FBI Special Agent Erika Jensen. Jensen took the MacBook Pro 13 and...

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday will push back against lawmakers who have vowed to hold him in contempt, casting the effort as “only the most recent in a long line of attacks” on the Justice Department. Garland is set to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday after it, along with the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, voted last month to hold him in contempt — an effort left in limbo over recess, as it’s unclear whether the GOP will be able to secure enough votes to pass the measure on the floor. It’s a busy time for...

@Nigel_Farage Thank you, Clacton.

Yavapai-Apache Nation Police Department officer Preston Brogdon was shot in the line of duty February 9, 2022, but survived life-threatening injuries only to be denied a “hardship” retirement and fired two years later, according to a report. Law Enforcement Today reported that Brodgon became a police officer after his time in United States Marine Corps. On February 9, 2022, he responded to a call regarding shots being fired at Camp Verde and located a suspect who began running. Brogdon and another officer gave chase on foot and the suspect fired at them, striking Brogdon, who fell to the ground and...

What's happening in Germany? Not only with their officials and police, but with their media as well. And will this spread to other parts of Europe and possibly the USA?

@catturd2 Dr. Fauci lied about 6 ft social distancing. Dr. Fauci lied about masks. Dr. Fauci lied about Ivermectin. Dr. Fauci lied about the lab leak. Dr. Fauci lied about lockdowns. Dr. Fauci lied about natural immunity. Dr. Fauci lied about gain of function. Dr. Fauci lied about the vaccines. Dr. Fauci lied about the vaccine side effects. Dr. Fauci lied about the deadly hospital protocol. Dr. Fauci is a POS evil demon who belongs in prison. Anyone still defending this monster, is also evil.

resident Biden on Monday railed against President Trump after his conviction to donors at a fundraiser, arguing that “something snapped” after he lost the 2020 election. “Here is what is becoming clearer and clearer every day. The threat that Trump poses would be greater in a second term than it was in his first term. This isn’t the same Trump who got elected in 2016. He’s worse,” Biden said, according to prepared remarks. “Something snapped in him when he lost in 2020. He can’t accept he lost, and it is literally driving him crazy,” he added. “Now he’s running again....

Today the NY Times published an opinion piece by Dr. Alina Chan making the case that the pandemic was caused by a lab leak in Wuhan. At this point it's honestly hard for me to tell if any of this is new information but it is very well organized and presented. She has broken it into five points. Point one is that Wuhan was the site where bat scientist Shi Zhengli had been collecting and experimenting with bat viruses for years. Wuhan is roughly 1,000 miles from the colonies of bats where the viruses most similar to SARS-CoV-2 were found.The...

The US State Department has seized the passport of former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, he told RT on Monday. Ritter was on his way to Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) when he was pulled off the plane and had his documents confiscated. “I was boarding the flight. Three [police] officers pulled me aside. They took my passport. When asked why, they said ‘orders of the State Department’. They had no further information for me,” Ritter told RT. “They pulled my bags off the plane, then escorted me out of the airport. They kept...

Last Thursday, in a courtroom in Manhattan that voted against him 88-12% in 2020, a jury, heavily persuaded by a judge, who contributed to Joe Biden in 2020, convicted President Donald Trump on 34 counts of falsification of business records. The case concerns payments that were made to former Trump attorney Michael Cohen in 2017. Cohen claimed the payments were reimbursement for a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to ensure her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with President Trump.

Yo-Yo Note: Longish read but very good from someone who is NOT a MAGA person.Ever since Donald Trump emerged as a presidential contender nine years ago, America’s most esteemed scholars and journalists have argued that he was violating democratic norms. Trump, they said, was ignoring the stabilizing, unwritten rules and values of American politics. This was evident in his vulgar language, vilification of immigrants, criticisms of the press, lack of cooperation with the intelligence community, and refusal to accept the 2020 election results.But the Democrats’ relentless effort to imprison Trump has undermined the rule of law, faith in the criminal...

Donald Trump walks into UFC 302 in New Jersey just days after being convicted 10 miles away in New York — Crowd ROARS

Paraphrasing Rand: "There was a massive cover-up. They used burner phones.. They used couriers... They said we can't do things electronically instead I can take things to his [Fauci's] house. It sounds more like the CIA than the NIH".

In the key segments of the interview that aired on Sunday, the GOP frontrunner weighed in on several key topics, including what he seeks in an Attorney General if elected this November and whether he would declassify several key files that have been the subject of conspiracy and speculation. "Yes," he told co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, insisting he would declassify the 9/11, JFK and Epstein files to restore some trust lost in American institutions. Trump also said he has two names in mind for potential attorney general picks, but said he made mistakes with the critical decision during his first term,...

Recent reports reveal that Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona has utilized over $200,000 in taxpayer funds for private air travel since 2020. The Daily Beast disclosed in January that Sinema incurred $116,000 in private plane expenses in 2023, charged to her Senate office budget. Taxpayers have allegedly footed a bill of approximately $210,000 for Sinema’s air travel since 2020. Despite being elected as a Democrat in 2018 and subsequently switching to an independent, Sinema reportedly did not conduct any publicly accessible, in-person town hall meetings while accumulating these expenses, as per Fox News. Fox also noted that Sinema’s sole in-person...
