Steve Bannon, ‘We Build The Wall’ organizers arrested, charged with defrauding donors Steve Bannon has been federally indicted for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in connection to a crowdfunding campaign to build a border wall. Bannon was arrested this morning in Washington, D.C. on charges he and others allegedly made false representations about the “We Build the Wall campaign.” Bannon, 66 is expected to appear in court virtually on Thursday. Prosecutors said Bannon and others defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors to the online campaign by falsely assuring them the organizers were not taking a penny of...

Sen. Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president Wednesday night, exactly three weeks after journalist and pro-life activist David Daleiden appeared in a San Francisco Superior Court, once again fighting the criminal charges Harris brought against him at the behest of her political donors four years prior. As Harris joins a campaign fighting for the “soul of our nation,” Daleiden continues a years-long battle for countless unborn souls and the First Amendment, both of which Harris has a record of fighting against. In March 2016, as the California attorney general, Harris met with six Planned Parenthood officials in...

The Raptor, SpaceX's engine used to power the upcoming Starship, has been reaching new levels of power during its development. On Monday, CEO Elon Musk announced that the engine reached 330 bar of chamber pressure without exploding. That's 31 bar higher than what the engine achieved back in February 2019, when it beat the previous record-holder for an operational engine, Russia's RD-180. Teslarati noted that the engine beat the Soviet Union's RD-701 engine, which at 300 bar, previously held the public record for the highest combustion chamber pressure for an orbital-class rocket.

Howie Silbiger discusses American Democrats, most of them anti-President Trump. According to him, the deal between Israel and the UAE is one of the greatest achievements of recent decades - certainly when it comes to the Middle East. So why are there Jews in the US who do not like the deal and criticize it? Howie says these are narrow-minded people who are jealous of the fact that the one who ultimately brings peace to the Middle East is a Republican president, not just a politician but the President Trump they abhore.

Antifa militant and convicted pedophile Blake David Hampe was bailed out by an Antifa bail group in Portland and released from jail after his Jul. 25 arrest for felony assault. Hampe allegedly stabbed black Trump supporter Drew Duncomb, who broke the news via Twitter tonight.

Hampe's bail was...

In his speech at the DNC on Thursday, Barack Obama scolded President Donald Trump for demeaning the military by using them for political purposes. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, he said, “understand that in this democracy, the Commander-in-Chief doesn’t use the men and women of our military, who are willing to risk everything to protect our nation, as political props.” As the picture above shows, here’s how Obama believes our military men and women should be used. We could go on and on and on about how Obama belittled the military, and how, in contrast, Trump has honored our men...

Watching “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Monday night, my stomach turned and heart sank. Carlson ran video footage of a couple in Portland being dragged from their pickup truck and beaten. Their sin: their whiteness. The culprits, BLM thugs. There were no police to intervene. Portland police, like Seattle and Minneapolis police, are practically neutered. Police are hamstrung, defunded, and demoralized in these cities. Many have handed in their notices. National Guard deployments are verboten. Curfews are nonexistent. The human excrement that pummels innocents to within inches of their lives are ghouls prowling the night. They’d come for us, if they...

Maricopa County Public Health recommends that the mask requirements be kept in place until one of two situations occur: Until there is no community spread of COVID-19 documented in Maricopa County as defined by a 28-day period during which no new COVID-19 cases are reported to public health Until a COVID-19 vaccine is widely available with at least 40% of the population vaccinated. If there is no COVID-19 circulating, then masks are not required to prevent spread. If there’s a vaccine and approximately 40% of the population vaccinated (about the same percentage that gets the flu vaccine every year), there...

Trump’s Trolling the Highlight of Kamala Night at the DNC It’s Thursday in America again. I hope yours is going well my friends here in Kruiser Morning Briefing Land. Night three of the DNC’s worst online hangout ever is in the books and the Republic has thankfully survived another speech by American Narcissus, Barack Obama. For that alone we should all feel well and truly blessed. From a conservative standpoint, Wednesday’s night’s DNC slog featured the worst of the worst. Not only did the Lightbringer regale us with his presence, but Granny Maojackets made a video cameo appearance to whine...

Headline only at this point

The seven-day rolling average of new coronavirus infections in the United States, a key metric for gauging the severity of the disease, dropped below 50,000 on Tuesday for the first time since early July, data from the COVID Tracking Project and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed.

Paul Johnson says, in his biography of Washington, that in 1789, the only monarch with powers as wide as the president's was the czar. All the other ones were hemmed in by regulations. Johnson doesn't go too far into detail about it, but why take his word when we can see it right in front of us? In the last eight years, we found that the president can put grown men into little girls' locker rooms; that he can pay enemy states hundreds of billions in ransom cash; that he can flood our states with millions of Africans and Middle...

Despite The Rise Of The 6.5, The 7mm Remains America's Favorite Metric Hunting Cartridge - It's hard to pick up a shooting magazine or wander through a large gun store without coming face to face with one of the myriad of popular 6.5 cartridges. Some, like the 6.5 Grendel, 26 Nosler and 6.5 Creedmoor are relatively new. Others, like the 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser, are practically historic. But the 6.5s are trending right now in every platform for hunting and competitive shooting. I won't take anything away from the 6.5s. They're versatile cartridges that are accurate out to long range. But...

An angry group gathered outside the house of Minnesota journalist Liz Collin and beat a pinata made in her image until it burst open. At least it had candy inside it. Back in May, opponents of Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear took to a tree in front of the governor’s mansion and hanged him in effigy. Federal officers sent to Portland had their personal information leaked online, giving mobs the chance to track down them and their families. Local officers have been similarly doxxed, Portland Deputy Police Chief Chris Davis said. Activists coalesced at the doorstep of Minnesota State Sen....

Hollywood stars went ga-ga for Kamala Harris on Wednesday evening as the vice presidential candidate delivered her big acceptance speech on the third night of the Democratic National Convention. Some celebrities could barely contain their emotions, with Mindy Kaling, Alyssa Milano, Mandy Moore, and Padma Lakshmi all confessing to breaking down in tears. Kamala Harris got her most effusive celebrity boost from actor Ben Stiller, who praised the California senator as “everything the country needs to hear and see right now.”

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll sponsored by Liberty Nation for Thursday shows that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-eight percent (48%) disapprove.

@RandPaulAs a libertarian Republican, there are often times I agree with those on the other side of the aisle. Among those issues are war and criminal justice reform. Many if not all of my efforts in these areas have been rooted in my commitment to lead...
