“The 80’s called, they want their foreign policy back.” At the time, it was a stone cold zinger - a nice line that was typical of the celebrated personal political skills and folksy ease of President Barack Obama, and a slick little soundbite on the road to his clinical defeat of Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. With the passage of time, however, it has entered into the dubious ranks of history’s famous last words. When Romney argued in that debate that Russia was the chief geopolitical rival to the United States, it was easy for Obama to dismiss...

Ken Silva, Headline USA) Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Christopher L. Paris testified before the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday about the July 13 assassination attempt against presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. Unlike the now-former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle—who resigned Tuesday after refusing to answer a bevy of basic questions the day before—Paris’s testimony revealed new info about what happened leading up to the shooting at the Butler, Pa., Trump rally. One of the more shocking revelations from Paris’s testimony was his claim that Butler County Emergency Services Unit counter snipers were stationed with a view from the rooftop where...

Following Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race, Kamala Harris has become the presumptive democrat nominee for President. It's been reported that she has magically raised $81 million since the Biden announcement. Let's see how that happened Behind the scenes, there is great doubt about her. More obvious publicly is her lack of accomplishment. She was given one job- border czar. WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he has appointed Vice President Kamala Harris to lead efforts to stem migration across the U.S.-Mexico border, as the administration faces growing political pressure to address a surge in undocumented migrant children...

House Republicans are raising concerns about the potential for more political violence, in this case against Supreme Court justices, following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., point to the “recent incendiary rhetoric directed towards other federal officials, including in particular the men and women serving on our nation’s highest court.” Far-left activist groups and lawmakers have repeatedly threatened to restructure the court if the justices do not rule the way that these groups desire. And Justice Samuel Alito himself has said that the May 2022...

In a gross violation of journalistic ethics, a CNN journalist gave the Biden administration a sneak peek of her article looking for the government stamp of approval before publishing. The Functional Government Initiative (FGI) obtained documents shared exclusively with MRC Business showing that CNN congressional reporter Clare Foran all but asked the Department of Energy to greenlight her story going after Republican politicians for pushing to prohibit DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm from implementing any rule that would “limit consumer access to gas kitchen ranges and ovens.” The emails uncovered by FGI — dated March 30, 2023 — don’t denote a...

Black Lives Matter (BLM) urged the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to organize a nationwide virtual primary on Tuesday after Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly secured enough delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Harris claimed early Tuesday morning that she had obtained enough support from DNC delegates to be voted the party’s presidential nominee, following President Joe Biden stepping down from the race and endorsing Harris. BLM, which exploded in prominence following the death of George Floyd in 2020, said in a statement that while President Joe Biden wasn’t their top choice as a candidate, they cannot overlook the concerning actions...

The world does not revolve around the American political calendar nor do rogues take a pause because White House aides and Democratic politicos wish a smooth coronation for Vice President Kamala Harris or whomever comes out of an open convention. If Democrats cannot provide a strong commander because Biden chose a vice president based on race and gender rather than ability, so be it. Virtue signaling has a cost. Harris, at least, is cogent. She can make decisions around the clock when a crisis emerges.

Right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk has posted a rumor that President Joe Biden had a medical emergency in Las Vegas last week and may be in hospice care. This claim contradicted the official account of the president's COVID-19 diagnosis, and has sparked widespread speculation, but what are the facts? Kirk, who has a history of promoting questionable theories, shared the rumor Monday on X, formerly Twitter. He wrote: "Got a weird lead on a story that people should look into. I got a call from a source close to Las Vegas Metro. The official story was that Joe Biden's trip was...

As speculation mounts regarding Joe Biden‘s whereabouts, alarm bells began ringing when the president made a phone call to a press gathering, resulting in an “odd” exchange with Kamala Harris. Biden addressed the staffers during the call, while Harris spoke to Biden as if it was the last thing he’d ever hear on this earth. During Biden’s frail mumblings, Harris made sure to let everyone know that the president had ensorsed her for the Democrat presidential nominee. Many have argued it wasn’t even Biden on the phone after Harris appeared to slip up by almost saying it was a recording....

Breaking – Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle resigned on Tuesday morning. This is one day after her evasive and repulsive testimony before Congress and 10 days after President Trump was shot on stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Cheatle failed in her primary job – to protect the President of the United States. On Monday, Cheatle took full responsibility for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and the murder of Trump rally Corey Comperatore. Members of Congress, including Speaker Johnson, called for Cheatle to resign. Director of Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle claims she takes “full responsibility” for the failure...

This is the latest Brighteon video from Mike Adams on his analysis of the Butler shooting. I previously posted his ballistic forensic analysis of the shots fired to kill Trump. Especially note his analysis of the "second floor" and the open window and his assessment that there were assassin shooters back away from the open window on this floor that were shooting at Trump.

The top Democrats have been flipping out since the debate, seeing their chances to win slipping away and finally being successful in pushing a very reluctant Joe Biden out of the 2024 race. They were losing in the polls with Biden, which is why they did it. It wasn't because they suddenly realized he was incoherent. It's all about holding onto control. They're all fearful of former President Donald Trump coming in, not because they really think he's a "threat to democracy" but because they fear he might actually start holding people accountable. So they threw Biden under the bus...

A storm is brewing as lawmakers and the public demand answers following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. On Monday, U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle found herself at the center of a heated congressional hearing, addressing security lapses that could have ended disastrously. Bipartisan frustration has been palpable as representatives from both sides of the aisle have confronted Cheatle and questioned the Secret Service. The shooting in Pennsylvania has led to calls from several lawmakers for Cheatle’s resignation. Now, the Oversight Project, a watchdog group with the Heritage Foundation, released a report that could potentially link Thomas...

There’s a major shroud of mystery and unanswered questions hanging over the Trump assassination attempt, with new bizarre details coming out daily. The latest bombshell involves a mysterious ATF agent who appears to have secretly gotten involved in the case but has suddenly gone dark. Senator Ron Johnson is all over this new twist. If his findings hold water, they could blow the lid off the entire plot to kill President Trump. In short, according to Senator Johnson and his inside sources, a sniper team was the first on the roof, taking pictures of the scene and the dead shooter....

Joe Biden has not been seen publicly since testing positive for COVID-19, despite announcing on Sunday that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. As we reported last week, Biden suddenly became “receptive” to being replaced by Kamala Harris after catching the virus, despite repeatedly reassuring voters he was “staying in the race.” The last time Biden was seen in public, he looked more frail than ever and struggled to walk. Watch................. MULTIPLE VIDEOS AT LINK.................... Biden, very slowly, descended the shorter staircase as he arrived in Rehoboth Beach on Wednesday. Watch................... Biden officially dropped out of the...

Holy Sh*t. According to Charlie Kirk and his sources, when Biden was in Vegas last week - he suffered a medical emergency. USSS personnel informed LV Metro to shut down roads to move POTUS to University Medical Hospital. Then there was a stand down order mysteriously given to local PD, and that they were going to “medivac” POTUS across the country to John Hopkins in Baltimore. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY!?

The Su-75 is a single-seater with a Saturn AL-51F-1 engine that can push out Mach 1.8 with a range of 1,900 miles. However, many specs are unknown because this fighter may still be in development stage and is only appearing at air shows as a mockup. The first flight won’t happen until at least 2025. It is a light tactical fighter with five internal weapons bays for various unguided and guided munitions, hopefully, some of Russia’s best air-to-air or air-to-ground missiles. Russia believes it could someday employ a “loyal wingman” concept consisting of a tethering to an unmanned fighter or...

Over and over and over again, we were told by the White House that Joe Biden's health was just fine. That he was old, he had some minor issues, but he was basically fine. We of course knew that wasn't true, given what we've seen day after day, watching his incoherence and confusion. But they've been selling us this fiction for months as he campaigned. But now Frank Biden, Joe Biden's brother, has made a concerning comment about Joe's health that's going to cause even more questions. CBS White House Correspondent Nancy Cordes reported late Sunday that Frank said that...
