A hazmat team and firefighters arrived to Donald Trump Jr.’s Jupiter, Florida home after the former president’s son received a letter containing white powder and a written death threat. “It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens,” Donald Trump Jr. told the Daily Caller. “Clearly, if this happened to a prominent Democrat it wouldn’t be tolerated and would drive news coverage for weeks. The media would blame all Republicans and force them to answer for it, But since it’s me, radical haters on the left will largely get a free pass and the media...

Screenshots from alleged iCloud "leak" of Hunter Biden videos. As Twitchy readers know (even though the mainstream media have been working really hard NOT to make a big deal about it) a bag of cocaine was found at the White House. We suppose it was easier for them to talk about a suspicious 'bag of white powder' than admit cocaine was found in the White House when the president just so happens to have a son who is ... you know, an addict. Amuse put together a thread from a 'source' that all but ties the bag to Hunter. So...

The White House grounds were evacuated on Sunday due to the discovery of an initially unidentified package. “U.S. Secret Service Uniform Division Officers located an unknown item on the White House complex,” a Secret Service spokesman confirmed. “As a precaution, the White House grounds were evacuated, and the DC Fire Departments Hazmat team responded. Curiously, there hasn’t been a lot of news coverage of this incident. This seems odd because the evacuation of the White House and the response of a Hazmat team seems like a significant story. It’s true that the item was eventually deemed to be “non-hazardous” by...
