Fico is no longer in immediate danger but is still in a serious condition after being hit by four bullets on Wednesday, in what was the first major assassination attempt on a European political leader for more than 20 years. The incident has highlighted the deep polarisation of politics...

As Joe Biden’s presidency fails and his 2024 campaign falters, the media and other Democrats are hitting the big red panic button and bringing back their Russia-collusion hoax for another spin.Joe Scarborough, the MSNBC host who sets Democrat talking points, spent last week claiming Biden’s 2024 troubles aren’t due to his unpopular policies or lack of mental acuity but rather a secret and nefarious Russian plot to help Donald Trump win the election. Scarborough excitedly claimed Republicans in Congress were working with Russian President Vladimir Putin to help Trump win. Putin endorsed Biden in February, for what it’s worth.

But less obvious is the runner-up — Robert Barron, bishop of Winona-Rochester, online evangelist and founder of Word on Fire Ministries. Barron doesn’t hold any special position in the Catholic Church’s hierarchy. On paper,...

Joe Biden is very unpopular. He's not doing well in polls, and he isn't doing well campaigning. So, how can he possibly whip up any interest in his flagging campaign? He's just pulled out something that he's tried before: the highly questionable "letter" from a child. Previously, he (or the person posting from his X social media account) posted a letter that many thought was fake. In March 2023, Biden got a similar letter from "Charlotte" (another age-contemporary name with Joe) supposedly asking Biden to do something about pay for "ladies" not being "fair." Uh-huh, because that's what a little...

Day 18 of the historic first criminal proceedings against former President Donald Trump is approaching in the New York hush money trial. However, legal experts say prosecutors have not yet determined what “other crime” is required to raise misdemeanor charges to a felony conviction. On Thursday, Michael Cohen, the former president’s lawyer and fixer, was back on the witness stand for his second cross-examination by the defense team. The trial is proceeding smoothly and ahead of schedule. Still, there is a clear flaw in the prosecution’s case that Trump is guilty of 34 felonies related to first-degree business record falsifications....
