Former President Trump, who is wildly popular in West Virginia, on Wednesday endorsed Gov. Jim Justice in the state’s Senate Republican primary. Trump’s endorsement of Justice over Rep. Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.), whom the former president endorsed in a House race last year, is a major political development in a key Senate battleground. The winner would challenge Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) in the 2024 general election if Manchin decides to run for a fourth Senate term.

Screengrab from a video shot as revellers realize Hamas gunmen are attacking. Girls were raped beside the corpses of their friends. In 2021, we were part of a grassroots team which rescued 400 women from Afghanistan. We have all, together and separately, worked on a range of feminist issues including rape, sex trafficking, honor killing, child marriage, and forced veiling. Together with thousands of other women, we have signed countless petitions and resolutions calling for freedom, justice, and safety for women globally. We cannot understand the feminist silence about what is happening to civilian Israelis in general and to Israeli...

Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Scruggs will have his day in court, but no single case will restore the equilibrium razed by J6 prosecutors.By way of introduction, my name is Adam Johnson — but most people know me as “the Lectern Guy.” On Jan. 6, 2021, I kind of broke the internet after I was photographed smiling and waving as I was carrying then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s podium through the Capitol rotunda. Suffice it to say, the authorities did not look kindly on what I did, and I was later arrested.Eventually, I was transferred to a courtroom after four...

Blatant weaponisation of the Justice System is tainting the 2024 presidential election. In the Democratic primaries a mentally incompetent octogenarian dragged down by an apparently kleptocratic son has one good point in his favour as a presidential candidate - he is more competent than his running mate. She makes him look good. Kennedy has character and courage but that gives him no chance with the DNC On the Republican side Trump looks unbeatable but there is a contest of ideas. Donald Trump was a very good president at a very hard time. Governor Ron DeSantis was sensational in resisting lockdowns....

19 minutes on 1 man's 1991 effort to drag government BACK to Constitutional principles and what it cost him. That battle rages on as you read this! Don't let the time scare you. It is MAINLY AUDIO. Some crude language from the U.S. Attorney at 7:58. Share if you dare!

The division in America doesn’t just allow for people to access luxurious material goods, but also lets them act out a life of luxurious beliefs. Void of real problems like choosing between eating or paying the rent and having legitimate concerns over their physical safety, America’s progressive elitists prescribe unrealistic solutions to problems they are personally distant from, which they can afford to be wrong about because the ramifications of failure don’t usually occur on their side of the tracks. Reality begins where luxury ends, however, because it’s difficult to maintain a lavish fantasy when a nonbeliever robs you of...

Alan Dershowitz was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York,on September 1, 1938. He is a committed Democrat who has defended Donald Trump. Morality underpins his life. As he says: "I love the Bible." and "For most people, the question why be good - as distinguished from merely law abiding - is a simple one. Because God commands it, because the Bible requires it, because good people go to Heaven and bad people go to Hell." Dershowitz has said: “We know that President Biden urged his attorney general to indict the man who he knew was going to be (his) leading...

I am no longer a member of the MAGA group.I am now a member of the MAJA group: Make America Just Again.The Left has indicted President Trump no less than four times for the "crime" of questioning the results of the 2020 election, an election rife with fraud on every level.These indictments mark a new chapter in American politics, in which a corrupt political party tries to jail their opponents. While this is common in Latin American countries, few of us thought this would ever happen here.If one wishes to observe the difference in the standards Trump is held to,...

Hunter Biden seemed inspired when he went to synagogue on Saturday. It may have been the subject matter; the president’s son was asked to pray for the nation, including a supplication for helping the system of justice. On August 12, Hunter attended sabbath prayers at Congregation Etz Chaim in Marietta, Georgia to celebrate the Bat Mitzvah (coming of age) Jayden Cohen, 13, the son of Melissa Biden’s brother Dalan. Despite not being Jewish, Hunter was called upon to read the traditional Jewish prayer for the nation. He wore a tallit (prayer shawl) and kippah (skull cap) for the occasion. “Our...

G-d help him. Less than 24 hours after a special counsel was named to probe Hunter Biden’s alleged tax and gun crimes, and while GOP investigators continued to search his bank records for signs of influence-peddling, the first son was begging the Big Guy upstairs for justice – as he led a public prayer at his nephew’s bar mitzvah. The Aug. 12 trip to Marietta, Georgia brought Biden, 53, and wife Melissa to a suburban synagogue for the coming-of-age ceremony of Jayden Cohen, 13, the son of Melissa’s brother Davan. “Our God and God of our ancestors,” Biden beseeched the...

*** Trump ***, fumed on Truth Social over a report that former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan had agreed to testify before the Fulton County panel Tuesday. “I am reading reports that failed former Lt. Governor of Georgia, Jeff [sic] Duncan, will be testifying before the Fulton County Grand Jury. He shouldn’t,” Trump posted. *** “He refused having a Special Session to find out what went on, became very unpopular with Republicans (I refused to endorse him!), and fought the TRUTH all the way.” *** “WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL THE FULTON COUNTY GRAND JURY THAT I DID NOT TAMPER WITH...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended State Attorney Monique Worrell for "dereliction of duty" on crime via an executive order on Wednesday. DeSantis' office says that Worrell has routinely allowed murderers and other violent offenders to "escape the full consequences of their criminal conduct."

"The practices and policies of her office have allowed murderers, other violent offenders, and dangerous drug traffickers to receive extremely reduced sentences and escape the full consequences of their criminal conduct. In some cases,...

Jack Posobiec spoke with investigative journalist Julie Kelly about why the wife of the US attorney for Washington, DC, Matthew Graves, has had an "all-access" pass to the White House, despite President Joe Biden insisting that the White House and Justice Department are completely separate entitites. Graves refused to allow Hunter Biden to be prosecuted in his district, according to IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely. (snip) "According to that IRS whistleblower, Matthew Graves made that decision in March of 2022. That month, according to White House visitor logs, his wife visited the White House five times. Is she discussing this criminal...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned on Sunday that "war" was coming to Russia after three Ukrainian drones were downed over Moscow.

A man whose car had been stolen tracked down his vehicle to a Texas shopping center lot - before shooting dead one of the alleged thieves and wounding the other. Gunfire erupted in the parking lot outside South Park Mall, San Antonio, just before 1pm Thursday after the man figured out where his stolen car was located. The owner of the stolen car had ordered the driver and his female companion out of the vehicle - and sat them down by the tire at gunpoint while they waited for police. But the stolen car victim was hit with a bullet...

President Biden's Justice Department is facing heat over developments that transpired during Hunter Biden's first court appearance on Wednesday. Hunter Biden's plea deal fell apart, and he pleaded "not guilty" as federal prosecutors confirmed he's still under federal investigation. The president's son was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax as part of the plea deal to avoid jail time on a felony gun charge. Critics have since set their sights on the Justice Department following the development. Mike Howell, director of the Oversight Project at the Heritage Foundation, said...
