Per President @realDonaldTrump's directive, I have declassified a @HouseIntel oversight majority staff report that exposes how the Obama Administration manufactured the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the LIE that Vladimir Putin and the Russian government helped President Trump win the 2016 election. In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American...

A recently declassified report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has shed light on the origins of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), which claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin favored Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The document, made public by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, says former CIA Director John Brennan pushed for the inclusion of potentially unreliable and biased reports to support this narrative, despite warnings from intelligence officials about the lack of solid evidence. Then-President Barack Obama gave the order to release the information. According to the document:...

A US-bound Delta flight with at least 150 people onboard was forced to hit the brakes during takeoff in Mexico this week when another jet nearly landed on top of it. Delta Flight 590 had just started rolling down the runway at Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez in Mexico City on Monday when the regional AeroMéxico plane suddenly flew overhead and landed in front of it, Flightradar 24 data showed. The regional jet came within less than 200 feet of the Atlanta-bound Delta flight, CNN reported.

Not only will DEI gradually destroy a critical institution of public safety, but at some point it will also destroy the lives that the institution is charged to protect. Similar to the flood itself, the tragedy of the high waters sweeping through the Central Texas Hill Country has violently ebbed and flowed from the public consciousness. At the last count, the death toll has reached 135 souls, at least a dozen of them little girls at a Christian camp. True to the spirit of the times, the disaster soon degenerated into yet another game of partisan mudslinging. Of course, leftists...

Human remains found near an archaeological site in the Guatemalan jungle are thought to be those of a US birdwatcher who was reported missing almost two and a half years ago, local officials say. A lilac shirt, sandals and shorts which match those worn by Raymond Vincent Ashcroft the day of his disappearance were found at the same location where the human bones were discovered, Carlos Soza of the attorney-general's office said. Ashcroft, 66, was part of a birdwatching group visiting the ancient Maya city of Tikal... ... Human bones and clothes matching those worn by Ashcroft were spotted in...

Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and John Fetterman (D-PA) have introduced bipartisan legislation, the Payment Choice Act, which would require businesses to accept cash payments. Money is merely the medium of exchange that someone is willing to accept for goods or services. Businesses across America have inadvertently contributed to the push toward a cashless society by refusing to accept cash as a form of payment. “Any person engaged in the business of selling or offering goods or services at retail to the public who accepts in-person payments at a physical location … shall accept cash as a form of payment for...

Attorney General James Uthmeier is appealing a federal Judge’s ruling holding him in contempt as part of an ongoing lawsuit over Florida’s new immigration law. At issue is one of the laws passed during Florida’s Special Session earlier this year over illegal immigration that makes it a state crime for undocumented immigrants to enter Florida. The Florida Immigrant Coalition and the Farmworker Association of Florida were among the plaintiffs who sued in April and argued immigration enforcement is already under federal jurisdiction. Williams issued a temporary restraining order to block the enforcement of the law and ordered Uthmeier to send...

In Bremen, an incredible 73 percent of suspects are non-Germans ... The highest crime rate of any German city is Bremen, and it just so happens that this city state also has the highest share of residents with an immigration background, at least compared to other states. “Data from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) now show that, relative to population, no major German city has a higher crime rate. 15,424 crimes per 100,000 inhabitants are the highest, ahead of Frankfurt am Main (14,600) and Berlin (14,252),” writes Weser Kurier. The Free Democrats (FDP) recently labeled the city the “most...

Ukrainians are taking to the streets after the passage of a controversial bill threatening the autonomy of two anti-corruption agencies. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now facing the largest protests since Russia’s 2022 invasion. Demonstrators gathered outside the presidential administration in Kyiv, while other protests took place in smaller cities across the country. European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos expressed concern over the vote, saying "the dismantling of key safeguards protecting NABU’s independence is a serious step back." The Ukrainian government’s latest move risks endangering its bid to join the European Union, as a crackdown on internal corruption is a...

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has effectively barred transgender women from competing in women’s sports, telling the federations overseeing swimming, athletics and other sports it has an “obligation to comply” with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump. The new policy, announced Monday with a quiet change on the USOPC’s website and confirmed in a letter sent to national sport governing bodies, follows a similar step taken by the NCAA earlier this year. The USOPC change is noted obliquely as a detail under “USOPC Athlete Safety Policy” and references Trump’s executive order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,”...

I've been voting Republican since 1980 and became a staunch conservative reading WFBjr's National Review when it was the National Review. In all that time of political ups and mostly downs, and from all my study of American and World history, there has never been an event like President Trump's smashing vindication that has just occurred. I rejoice from the depths of my heart for this
