District Attorney Sandra Doorley repeatedly ignored officer commands when stopped for speeding in Webster this week — telling them she was the DA, didn’t care about the reason for the stop and that they should leave, footage released by the Town of Webster shows. “I am the DA of Monroe County,” she told the officer at one point in the interaction captured by the officer’s body worn camera. “...I don’t really care. You know what, if you give me a traffic ticket, that’s fine. I’m the one that prosecutes it, OK? Just go ahead and do it. Go ahead. Go...

Remember when doing away with “net neutrality” was going to kill the internet? It went away and nothing happened.But now it’s back.The Biden admin and its media lackeys are hyping this as a pro-consumer move. The reality is that the actual impact on consumers has been and likely will be nonexistent unless Team Socialism figures out a way to leverage it for some nefarious purpose. And that certainly should not be ruled out.Net neutrality is about rewarding the biggest lobbyists and that means feeding the biggest censors.We were told that not having net neutrality would endanger our internet access. The...

Let’s conduct a little thought experiment. Suppose local chapters of the KKK had established a presence on campuses across America while one of their leaders explained that black people shouldn’t live, they would have all been rounded up long ago. Not to mention expelled, canceled, and rendered permanently unemployable, put on no-fly-lists, and banned from Uber, Lyft, and every form of private and public transportation imaginable. But we know that. Just as we know that the media deliberately ignores the ugliness, the hate, and the chants of, “kill another soldier” or “go back to Poland” in the same city where...

It’s time to face the music: the GOP is pretty much useless. Well, let’s rephrase that—it’s useless to us but incredibly valuable to the Democrats, who pull all the strings and call all the shots. Yet, some of us are still clinging to this idea of a magical “two-party” system in the United States. We’ve been conditioned to believe that even a RINO is somehow better than a Democrat. But let’s be real: that’s just playing into the Democrats’ hands. They want us to think that way because it keeps their well-orchestrated “two-party” charade alive and kicking. The truth is,...

Some aviation experts argue the FAA’s focus on ‘diversity’ instead of ’merit' in hiring pilots and controllers is leading to serious safety concerns... As the U.S. Justice Department decides whether to pursue a criminal case against Boeing, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating dozens of airplane incidents since January, including one in which a Swiss Air jet almost collided with four other planes on the runway at JFK International Airport in New York City. The FAA has more than 100 aviation accidents and incidents since the beginning of 2024. These include airplane and helicopter crashes, equipment and mechanical malfunctions,...

District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump was always weak if not meritless. But that didn’t stop him from pursuing a felony case for a low-level misdemeanor that normally would have resulted in a fine that was also past the statute of limitations. Be that as it may, Bragg’s weak case has taken some real hits on Friday, as the testimony of David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, has been devastating for the prosecution. In fact, according to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, Bragg’s case is now “collapsing on its own weight." "They have...

Mortar strikes were reported landing in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday in the vicinity of a site that’s been selected for a humanitarian pier....Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are currently guarding the designated shore connection point for the JLOTS pier. An IDF official told the Times of Israel that the mortar attack landed as United Nations officials were touring the pier site, and that Israeli troops rushed the U.N. officials to a shelter.

Australian officials appear desperate to hide video evidence of a recent manifestation of anti-Christian hatred. Whereas Facebook was more than willing to aid in Australia's global censorship initiative, Elon Musk's X has indicated it will not comply. This resistance has enraged Australian officials, prompting legal action and one senator to even declare that Musk should be imprisoned. Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, the survivor of the Islamic terror attack, cut through all the noise Wednesday, noting that he is not "opposed to the videos remaining on social media" and that freedom of speech is a "God-given right." A 16-year-old Islamic terrorist...

Top aides to Biden secretly hatched a plan this past fall to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by recruiting outside allies to nudge her out the door ... Jean-Pierre, who made history in May 2022 by becoming the first black and first openly gay person to hold the position, had developed the exasperating habit of reading canned answers directly from a binder to reporters at her regular briefings — offering what her superiors viewed as a less-than-compelling pitch for the 81-year-old Biden as he readied his re-election campaign. De facto White House communications chief Anita Dunn, 66, the...

The lawyer representing special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday asserted that the reason former President Donald Trump is the first president to face criminal charges is because his predecessors did not commit any crimes. Department of Justice counselor to Smith, Michael Dreeben, went before the Supreme Court to argue presidents should not have constitutional immunity from prosecution for official acts conducted during their presidency. Dreeben suggested that no president until Trump has ever committed crimes when Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas questioned him about no other president having faced prosecutions. “Over the not-so-distant past … certain presidents have engaged in...

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - A new lawsuit has been filed against several prominent figures in Fulton County, including Commissioner Marvin Arrington, District Attorney Fani Willis, the Fulton County Ethics Board, and Fulton County itself.

Despite their prior association, Mainor dismissed Monson in February 2019 due to his disruptive behavior,...

An anti-Israeli protester has sparked horror after being photographed at George Washington University with a sign calling for the “final solution,” the Nazi plan to exterminate all Jews. The unidentified man was seen mingling among students on the Washington, DC, campus carrying a huge Palestinian flag — and the sign with the expression Adolf Hitler used to sum up his plan for the “annihilation of the Jews.” The image quickly sparked outrage from many shocked at a term used during the Holocaust. “The parallels between this movement and actual Nazism is real and scary,” one X user wrote.

A Fatah TV anchor reported that Hamas had attacked aid workers, stolen food and water and caused food prices to skyrocket in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian political faction Fatah charged on air that Hamas had deliberately killed aid workers, stolen aid and manufactured a food crisis in Gaza, according to a Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) investigation published on Sunday.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A black Baltimore high school athletics director has been charged with using AI to generate a recording of the school's white principal going on a racist rant. Dazhon Darien, 31, previously worked as the athletic director at Pikesville High School - but was the target of a probe into the mishandling of school funds.

The Biden administration officially takes its immigration services to the root of Muslim migration with the expansion of international field offices. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on Apr. 23 that it is opening new international field offices in Doha, Qatar, and Ankara, Turkey, to "increase capacity for refugee processing, strengthen strategic partnerships, and facilitate interagency cooperation." USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou stated: "Opening these field offices establishes a USCIS presence and expertise in critical locations in the Middle East and is part of our commitment to the Biden-Harris administration's efforts to facilitate safe, lawful, and orderly migration...

In a viral TikTok video the woman identifies herself to a group of teenage girls as a state employee after allegedly pulling down one of their miniskirts at Sakura Japanese Steakhouse on Saturday night.

Lorenzo later told police that she intended to file an indecent...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — UPDATE: Law enforcement moved in around 10 p.m. to disburse the encampment. Protesters said people were praying in tents as officers moved in to rip them open. Officers pushed the group off of the lawn until the protest broke up.

The Justice Department notified Congress on Thursday that it will not comply with a subpoena for audio recordings of President Biden’s interview with former Special Counsel Robert Hur. In an 11-page letter, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte rejected claims from House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) that the recordings contain information relevant to the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into the 81-year-old president. Jordan and Comer have threatened to launch contempt proceedings against Attorney General Merrick Garland if the DOJ does comply with the subpoena. Uriarte argued that the DOJ has complied, by releasing transcripts of...
