Two fraudsters who ripped off donors of a fundraising campaign that purportedly sought to collect money for a wall along the southern US border during Donald Trump’s presidency pleaded guilty Thursday for their roles in the scam. The swindlers, Brian Kolfage and Andrew Badolato, each copped to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud during a remote hearing before Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan federal court. Kolfage also pleaded guilty making false statements on tax returns to hide from the IRS the hundred of thousands of dollars he siphoned off from the GoFundMe campaign, which was dubbed “We Build...

With virtually every aspect of life under assault from progressives, Republican successes on Election Day were a much-needed shot in the arm. Let’s capitalize on that energy. Instead of sitting idly by waiting for lawsuits to make vaccine mandates go away, OSHA just handed us an opportunity to drive a stake through those very mandates. On November 5, OSHA published its COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing ETS (Emergency Temporary Standard) in the Federal Register. It goes into effect immediately and companies with 100+ employees have 30 days to comply, plus 60 days for certain testing requirements. However, because this ETS also...

ByWill ChamberlainonMay 1, 2019 When the Mueller Report was released on April 18th, most commentators focused on the “explosive” factual allegations. But other than the shocking revelation that the President once used an expletive in private, very few of those facts were novel; most were leaked long ago.At the end of Volume II of the Mueller Report, however, there were 20 pages of genuinely new material.There, the former FBI director turned Special Counsel Robert Mueller defended his “Application of Obstruction-Of-Justice Statutes To The President.” These overlooked 20 pages were dedicated to defending Mueller’s interpretation of a single subsection of a...

One of the Russian companies indicted by Robert Mueller in the troll farm case has responded to the special counsel’s recently-filed motion prevent discovery of evidence with a blistering (and somewhat trolling) court filing. On Thursday, attorneys for Concord Management and Consulting LLC timely submitted their 13-page memorandum in opposition to Mueller’s requested order.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, one of President Donald Trump's top allies, went after special counsel Robert Mueller in a Thursday morning tweetstorm, calling the former FBI director "the tip of the deep state spear aimed at" Trump. Gingrich posted his tweets after The Washington Post reported Wednesday night that Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials now expanded to include a probe into whether Trump committed obstruction of justice with his firing of former FBI Director James Comey last month. Mueller is also seeking proof of whether Trump...

With the ‘Russian collusion’ case against the Trump administration all but dead, the mainstream media has shifted their full attention to now building an obstruction of justice case against the White House. As such, CNN hosted Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel appointed in the 90’s to look into various Clinton scandals, including the Vince Foster death and Monica Lewinsky episode, this morning to get his thoughts on the topic. CNN: “Do you think there is a case there?” Starr: “It’s too soon to tell. From what I’ve seen — and of course we don’t know a whole lot — the...

Lawyers representing rancher Cliven Bundy's supporters accused a judge of eviscerating their defense case Monday by effectively prohibiting several planned witnesses from testifying. U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro's ruling blocks witnesses from testifying about federal authorities' actions in the days before the 2014 Bunkerville standoff between protestors and Bureau of Land Management agents who tried to seize Bundy's cattle from public land. Law enforcement officers' actions were expected to be a cornerstone of the defense case in the conspiracy trial; the ruling so affected the strategy that defense lawyers asked for an evening to reassess before they call witnesses......

An Indian court declared Himalayan glaciers “legal persons” under law in a bid to save them from global warming. The court’s two judges claimed Indian law must gives glaciers “living entity” status to keep them from melting. . . . The case was filed as public interest litigation by an environmentalist, and was not filed to address any specific harm to any individual. The court also extended the status of “living entity” to other natural wonders, including waterfalls, meadows, lakes and forests.

This investigation was launched by pro-abortion left-wing hack Kamala Harris, then attorney general of California and longtime recipient of Planned Parenthood lucre, who parlayed her persecution of David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress — replete with a police raid of Daleiden’s home in search of undercover footage — into a U.S. Senate seat last November. Not satisfied with merely persecuting Daleiden under existing law, Harris even took the extra step of collaborating with Planned Parenthood to draft new legislation that would make secretly recording medical-care providers a distinct crime. The Daleiden investigation that she began has now...

The District Court judge basically ignored the statute that clearly states Trump's single authority to limit immigration in any way he sees fit without any limitation. The state of Washington has no standing...only persons traveling from those 7 countries have standing. This hocus-pocus lawsuit is laughable.

Employees of the Class A Brooklyn Cyclones, a New York Mets affiliate, arrived at work Wednesday morning to find swastikas and racial and anti-Semitic epithets painted on a statue of Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese that is on display outside MCU Park... "This is being treated as a bias crime," detective John Nevandro of the 60th precinct said in a statement. "Hate Crimes will investigate the incident.
