South Florida investigators previously probed transactions tied to Jim Biden, the brother of President Joe Biden, as part of a criminal investigation, according to Politico.

The investigators are examining a business deal involving Jim Biden as well as numerous loans issued to Americore — a failed healthcare company for which Jim Biden used to work as a consultant — by an investment fund managed by a James Biden associate, according to Politico, which granted its sources anonymity to speak freely about a sensitive subject. A 2022 lawsuit filed in Florida alleges that Michael Lewitt, the money manager running the investment fund that issued the Americore loans, effectively diverted millions of dollars via bogus loans to Americore.

Additionally, George Mesires — an attorney who has previously worked for Hunter Biden and Jim Biden — represented the entity lending the money in several of the transactions that are now being examined by federal investigators, according to Politico.

We reported earlier on the horrible Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse that was precipitated by a cargo ship hitting it early Tuesday morning. Two people were rescued from the water, but there were reportedly six construction workers still missing at the last update.

Now Joe Biden has weighed in on the bridge collapse, slurring throughout his remarks. He said that eight were still missing. He said it was an accident, and there was “no other indication” that it was anything other than an accident at this point.

First Lady Jill Biden has suggested that Republican opposition to the use of pornographic materials in schools is akin to the rise of Nazi Germany.

During a speech at the Human Rights Campaign Dinner in Los Angeles on Sunday, Biden warned that LGBT rights were under attack:

Today, [the LGBT] community is under attack. Rights are being stripped away. Freedoms are eroding. More and more state laws are being passed targeting this community.

Just last night, we had to fend off more than 50 anti-gay amendments that Republicans tried to force into the government funding bill.

These were extreme measures aimed directly at this community – measures that would have limited healthcare, eroded protections for same-sex couples, and more. And they served only one purpose: to spread hate and fear.

The First Lady went on to reference Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, which prevents school teachers from discussing and sharing sexual content with young children, and that progressives have falsely dubbed the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law. In many cases, teachers went as far as to show their students gay pornography.

Yet, according to Biden, such legislation is reminiscent of Berlin in the 1930s when Adolf Hitler rose to power and can lead to “devastating” consequences:

How closely tied are New York’s nasty AG Letitia James and the dirty Democrat US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer? Should Americans be concerned over public ties between the active pro-Communism “Working Families Party,” US Senator Chuck Schumer,  and NY AG Letitia James, who is openly flaunting the use of the most unAmerican lawfare imaginable against America’s top presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump?

A recent video has been unearthed showing the Trump-hating Senator Chuck Schumer dancing in the streets with the Trump-obsessed NY AG Letitia James, who actually campaigned on a promise to take down President Trump if she was elected.

The dirty duo isn’t simply dancing in the streets of NYC; they are dancing with a well-known communist group, The Working Families Party.

By now, most people have seen the shocking images of the devastating collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, that happened on Tuesday morning.

Indeed, it would be hard to forget the sight of the cargo ship hitting the 1.6 mile bridge, with the bridge almost instantly crumbling on impact into the Patapsco River.

What caused the cargo ship to ram into the bridge or what was faulty in the construction of the bridge to make it collapse so readily has not yet been discovered.

Joe Biden told reporters on Tuesday that he had taken the TRAIN over the Francis Scott Key Bridge “many times.”

Joe Biden: “About 1:30 a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge which I’ve been over many, many times commuting from the state of Delaware either by train or by car.”

That’s odd, considering there is no rail line on the bridge. The bridge was built for automobiles and trucks.

US oil prices have recently jumped above the $80 a barrel mark – the highest level since late 2023, sending worrying signals to the Federal Reserve and overly anxious White House.

The surge in WTI has pushed wholesales gasoline prices up…

And worse, pump prices are set to accelerate even higher in the coming months to an average of $4 a gallon, which would be the highest level since the summer of 2022, according to Bloomberg, citing new data from AAA Automobile Club.

A combination of issues is pressuring futures and pump prices higher, including the transition to summer-grade gasoline and strained domestic refineries, as well as concerns about shrinking global crude product supplies while Ukraine attacks Russian refineries.

As we explained in the note titled “Dominoes Falling As Biden Admin Deals With Twin Energy Crisis In Russia, Middle East,” traders have been spooked by refinery outages across Russia due to Ukranian drone attacks. In the Middle East, traders are increasingly worried that Iran-backed Houthis could be several steps away from targeting Saudi refineries.

And now it should make a whole lot of sense why the Biden administration pleaded with Ukrainians to stop drone attacks, along with the White House pushing Vice President Kamala Harris out on ABC News on Sunday to warn Israel publicly not to launch a counteroffensive against Hamas in Rafah – because increased chaos on that side of the world would stoke higher crude prices – and bad timing for the administration, just ahead of the US presidential election in November.

Experts call for increases in treatment and support — ‘not enough is being done’

Drug overdoses reached a new high last year in the U.S., according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Nearly 108,000 people died from drug overdoses in 2022, the agency said.

This was a marginal increase from 2021, when 106,669 people died of drug overdoses.

Overdoses are still the leading cause of death for adults in the country, largely driven by fentanyl, a synthetic opioid drug.

Over the past two decades, the rate of drug overdose deaths has spiked from 8.2 per 100,000 people in the year 2000 to 32.6 per 100,000 in 2022, per the CDC.

Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project will power 900,000 homes, support thousands of jobs, and add 2,600 megawatts of clean energy to the grid

WASHINGTON — The Biden-Harris administration today announced its approval of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) commercial project – the fifth approval of a commercial-scale, offshore wind energy project under President Biden’s leadership. Today’s announcement supports the Administration’s goal of deploying 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030, following the approval of the Vineyard Wind 1, South Fork Wind, Ocean Wind 1, and Revolution Wind projects. When completed, these five projects will collectively add more than 5 gigawatts of clean, renewable energy to our nation’s grid, enough to power more than 1.75 million homes.

Located approximately 23.5 nautical miles offshore Virginia Beach, the CVOW commercial project is the largest yet, and would provide about 2,600 megawatts of clean, reliable offshore wind energy, capable of powering over 900,000 homes. The project is expected to provide about 900 jobs each year during the construction phase and support an estimated 1,100 annual jobs during the operations phase, generating vital economic development for Virginia’s Hampton Roads area and supporting investments in the Virginia coastal region as a hub for offshore wind development and support.

“The Interior Department is committed to the Biden-Harris administration’s all-of-government approach to the clean energy future, which helps respond to the climate crisis, lower energy costs, and create good-paying union jobs across the manufacturing, shipbuilding and construction sectors,” said Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland. “Today’s approval of the largest offshore wind project in U.S. history builds on the undeniable momentum we are seeing. Together with the labor community, industry, Tribes and partners from coast to coast, we are aggressively working toward our clean energy goals.”

“Today’s announcement is the result of hard work by the BOEM team and our ongoing conversations with Tribes, federal agency partners, state and local leaders, ocean users, industry and others to help inform the development of this project every step of the way,” said Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Director Elizabeth Klein. “We look forward to continuing to work together to responsibly develop this clean energy resource and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.”

A Florida sheriff responded to the criticism and praise he has received for his viral comments about encouraging citizens to use the kill shot against home invaders.

During a press conference in April 2022, Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson said, “If someone is breaking into your house, you’re more than welcome to shoot. We prefer you to do that, actually.” The comments have gone viral again in juxtaposition to a story in New York where a woman was arrested for trying to remove squatters from her property.

Johnson told Fox News Digital in an interview that he stands by his comments and that it’s a “no-brainer.”

“Can we take the idea that this [Baltimore bridge collapse] was a terrorist attack off the table … and absolutely we cannot do that,” President Trump’s former national security adviser (and retired lieutenant general) Michael Flynn told Alex Jones in an online interview.

Flynn called the container ship ramming the 1.6-mile-long bridge mile bridge at the Port of Baltimore a “black swan” event.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were in North Carolina on Tuesday, hoping to get some votes from a vital swing state by talking about healthcare.

So far, the polls indicate that North Carolina is trending in favor of former President Donald Trump, not to mention all the other swing states.

So Biden is trying to figure out some approach to overcome his own incoherence and failed policies and convince Americans to vote for him. On Tuesday, he tried to pitch Obamacare as a rationale. Of course, he left out all the falsehoods that Obama/Biden told us when they sold it: that you can keep your plan and keep your doctor. Oh, and your premiums will go down.

But as he was talking about Obamacare, he was interrupted by anti-Israel activists. You can hear one of the activists yell out, “What about the healthcare in Gaza?” as Biden looks around in confusion.

NBC News officially dropped ex-RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel as a contributor following backlash from inside the network, a statement from the network’s chairman confirmed.

In the Tuesday evening statement, NBCUniversal chairman Cesar Conde said: ‘After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor.’

McDaniel had reportedly been signed to the left-leaning network in a deal that amounted to roughly $300,000 a year, according to the New York Times.

Following the announcement of her hiring, major stars inside the company began a public campaign against her hiring. Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski said she would not be invited on their program.

And Chuck Todd erupted into an on-air rant about her hiring, taking particular issue with her support for Donald Trump’s false 2020 election fraud claims.

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday weighed in on NBC News’ decision to drop ex-Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel from the network after complaints from on-air talent. 

“Wow! Ronna McDaniel got fired by Fake News NBC. She only lasted two days, and this after McDaniel went out of her way to say what they wanted to hear,” the 77-year-old presumptive GOP nominee wrote on Truth Social. 

Trump then appeared to suggest that McDaniel may now be in some sort of political purgatory after her NBC News exit and prior resignation from the RNC following mounting criticism of her leadership.

“It leaves her in a very strange place, it’s called NEVER NEVERLAND,” Trump said, adding, “and it’s not a place you want to be.”

In a bid to breathe life back into its beleaguered neighborhoods, the city of Baltimore is rolling out a groundbreaking initiative: selling boarded-up homes for a mere dollar each, according to Bloomberg.

Mayor Brandon Scott is spearheading this plan, aimed at tackling the city’s longstanding battle with crime and urban decay.

With more than 200 city-owned vacant properties up for grabs, residents willing to roll up their sleeves and restore these homes to their former glory are being offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Still, with nearly 15,000 abandoned properties blighting Baltimore’s landscape as of 2022, according to city records, the road to urban renewal remains long and arduous.

First son Hunter Biden and first brother James Biden were accused of lying by a pair of House Republican impeachment inquiry witnesses during a Wednesday hearing — one of whom said he had put himself “at grave risk” by coming forward.

Tony Bobulinski accused his former business partners Hunter and James of “perjury” during depositions they gave last month about President Biden’s alleged past involvement in their overseas business.

Bobulinski explained that, while serving as the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings and as part of a partnership the Bidens sought with a Chinese state-linked energy firm, he “met with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Jim Biden at the Beverly Hilton in May 2017” — despite the first brother denying this meeting ever occurred.

The plunge in US office values could match or exceed 2008’s real estate fallout, as prices have yet to bottom out, Fitch Ratings wrote in a note on Wednesday, Business Insider reported.

Office values have dropped an estimated 35% so far this cycle. While that’s still above the 47% plunge witnessed during the Great Financial Crisis, the latest situation offers no reason to expect the descent to slow, it said.

Instead, current values are near a four-year low, and Fitch expects any future recovery to be more protracted than what followed the 2008 crash. Extending the timeline is the endurance of remote work trends, bleak refinancing conditions, and significantly higher interest rates, Business Insider reported.

Chick-fil-A announced that it would be shifting from antibiotic-free chicken starting this spring, citing supply reasons, in an update shared Thursday.

“To maintain supply of the high-quality chicken you expect from us, Chick-fil-A will shift from No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to No Antibiotics Important To Human Medicine (NAIHM) starting in the Spring of 2024,” the announcement read.

No specific deadline has yet to be announced for the change to roll out.

According to the Chick-fil-A website, NAE means no antibiotics of any kind were used in the raising of the animal, while NAIHM “restricts the use of those antibiotics that are important to human medicine and commonly used to treat people, and allows use of animal antibiotics only if the animal and those around it were to become sick.”

The 12% reduction compares with layoffs of 1.7% for limited-service places, according to federal data.

Full-service restaurants in Washington, D.C., have cut 3,700 jobs—about 12% of their workforce—since the jurisdiction began rolling back its tip credit in May 2023, according to data newly released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The federal agency did not draw a correlation between the drop in jobs and the reduction in the credit, which fell in May and then again in July of last year. Restaurants there have also been affected by a slow return of government workers and employees of companies that interact with the government to their downtown offices. Operators say traffic has also been dampened by fears about rising nighttime crime.

But restaurants without table service have not cut jobs nearly as aggressively as their full-service counterparts have. Between May 1 of last year and the end of January 24, limited-service places have eliminated 400 positions, or just 1.7% of their collective payrolls.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis approved legislation Monday prohibiting minors under the age of 14 from using social media and mandating 14-and-15-year-olds obtain parental consent before logging on.

The new law, House Bill 3, compels social media firms to scrap existing accounts for children and permits parents to request their child’s account be terminated.

“Social media harms children in a variety of ways,” DeSantis said in a statement. “HB 3 gives parents a greater ability to protect their children. Thank you to [Florida House] Speaker [Paul] Renner for delivering this landmark legislation.”

According to a letter on Monday from the “Team of Priests in Solidum serving the Gaudium et Specs Family of Parishes,” the team made the decision following concerns “about the long-term operational viability of the school and our ability to provide adequate spiritual care to the community.”

This comes after parents and community members raised more than $430,000 to keep the school operating. The fundraiser exceeded the $150,000 goal; however, the school missed the March 1 enrollment deadline of 150 students. The school enrolled 148 students, two short of the minimum number it agreed to have with the Archdiocese of Detroit.

The Team of Priests says enrollment fees and money donated will be returned.

“I want to take a moment to thank everyone involved in the effort to keep our school open. The support from the community, the prayers, the donations – it’s been incredible and truly humbling to witness. We’ve grown even closer through this experience, and that’s something to hold onto,” principal Mrs. Colleen Maciejewski said in a letter to parents.

While it will likely be a couple of months before the Supreme Court issues its opinion in Murthy v. Missouri (f/k/a Missouri v. Biden), there are snippets from the oral argument last Monday that linger in the air.

Most notable, in my view, was Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s concern that the Plaintiffs’ position (namely, that the government shouldn’t be working hand-in-glove with social media platforms to censor opinions and users who disagree with government policy) might “hamstring” the government in “significant ways.” To which my instinctive reply is, “You’re darn right, Justice Jackson.”

I know it can’t be laid at the feet of lack of education. Jackson’s parents were well-educated and she herself was a champion debater in high school before obtaining both an undergraduate and law degree from Harvard University.

Orlando City Commissioner Regina Hill finds herself embroiled in a scandalous investigation, accused of unlawfully siphoning over $100,000 from a vulnerable 96-year-old woman.

The shocking allegations suggest Hill exploited the elderly woman for financial gain, purportedly utilizing the funds for personal expenses ranging from cosmetic surgeries to lavish hotel stays, as reported by Raw Story on Saturday, March 23, 2024.

The unfolding saga, detailed in an affidavit from an agent for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, paints a troubling picture of exploitation and abuse of power.

Vice President Kamala Harris said on Sunday that the administration had not ruled out “consequences” for Israel if it defied President Joe Biden and attacked Hamas in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Biden has warned Israel publicly not to attack Hamas in Rafah, due to the presence of large numbers of civilians there, which the terrorist group uses as human shields. Israel says that it cannot win the war without defeating the last four Hamas battalions in Rafah.

Harris’s spoke to ABC News on Sunday, telling a reporter that “I have studied the maps” of southern Gaza:

In a wide-ranging new interview with ABC News, Vice President Kamala Harris suggested there could be “consequences” for Israel if it moves ahead with a planned invasion of Rafah in its pursuit of Hamas fighters.

[Senior congressional correspondent Rachel] Scott followed up: “Are you ruling out that there would be consequences from the United States?”

“I am ruling out nothing,” Harris replied.

Israel says it can move civilians to areas near Rafah during the fighting.

On Friday, after meeting with visiting U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that Israel intends to enter Rafah. He added that while he would prefer to do so with U.S. support, “if we need to, we will do it alone.”

On Saturday, President Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ), celebrated the launch of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center and the administration’s subsequent pledge of $750 million the Center can use to pursue more red flag laws.

Breitbart News reported that Vice President Kamala Harris announced the creation of National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center during a speech at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the location where the February 14, 2018, school shooting occurred and resulted in the deaths of 17 people.

The latest research from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has sent shockwaves through the medical community and raised concerns among parents regarding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for toddlers and young children.

According to the FDA’s findings, there is a significantly elevated risk of seizures in this demographic following vaccination, particularly within the first 24 hours post-inoculation.

The study, which focused on children aged 2-5 years, uncovered troubling statistics. Researchers discovered a 2.5-fold increase in febrile seizures within a day of receiving the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine compared to the same children’s baseline rates between eight to 63 days post-vaccination.

Additionally, there were 88 reported cases of febrile seizures following the Pfizer vaccine administration among the study group.

This time Joe’s penchant for lies may get him in trouble

There’s no doubt, whether deliberate or simply a component of a failing memory, Joe Biden repeatedly has lied about his experiences.

There are train stories that physically couldn’t have happened. There are his conversations with world leaders who were dead at the time. There are his claims that he never was even aware of what was going on with Hunter Biden’s business schemes.

All demonstrably false.

But there’s been no obvious fallout from any.

But that soon may change, according to a report in the Washington Free Beacon.

‘It may be too early to tell if she is entirely free of criminal allegations’

A constitutional expert is noting that it’s unlikely that Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutor Fani Willis can win her latest argument in her campaign to get President Donald Trump.

Because she’s fighting her own statements.

Willis hired a paramour, Nathan Wade, and paid him nearly $700,000 to assemble an organized crime case against Trump over comments following that 2020 election.

Then she essentially was put on trial over allegations her misbehavior included conflicts of interest because of her relationship with Wade while the case was being assembled.

Cell phone records show him traveling to her neighborhood late at night multiple times, and then leaving early in the morning.

Those never enslaved want payments from those who never owned slaves

Advocates for reparations for blacks, those individuals and groups who want members of modern society who never owned slaves to pay huge sums to members of today’s black community who never were slaves, now are demanding $15 billion from “white” churches.

A report from WHDH explains the so-called Boston People’s Reparations Commission issued a weekend statement demanding Boston’s “white” and “establishment” churches “confess to their complicity” and “transfer portions of their enormous wealth to a mostly impoverished and underserved black community.”

“Many of the well-known white churches in downtown Boston are connected to the slave trade and the proliferation of what was a ‘slavetocracy’ in our city,” claimed Kevin Peterson, founder of the activist organization.

He earlier prompted the city to apologize for “complicity” in slavery, and that statement later triggered the creation of the task force.

“Beginning in the 17th century, all of our colonial churches were founded on the profits of slavery. Colonial ministers were among the most likely to have enslaved servants,” said John Gibbons of the Arlington Street Church in Boston.

BALTIMORE — An arranged meeting between a man and woman leads to murder in West Baltimore.

Lenora Alston, 35, was shot to death overnight on March 15.

It happened right outside her mother’s home on N. Fulton Avenue.

Charging documents say that’s where she met up with a man nicknamed “Ratchet.”

Investigators were able to access Alston’s iPhone which revealed “Ratchet’s” phone number and Instagram name.

Police linked both to a guy named Reginald Peay.

Detectives got a warrant to ping his phone.

On March 15, Peay was tracked down in the 2300 block of E. North Avenue.

When approached by officers, Peay tried unsuccessfully to get away. In the process he allegedly threw a gun on top of a roof, but police say it was not the murder weapon.

Did Joe Biden lie to then-Special Counsel Robert Hur about a long-proclaimed political origin story? According to a new report, it sure looks like it.

In October of 2023, while being questioned by Hur about his illegal taking and storing of classified documents, the president decided to explain the one time he’s “ever lied.” Biden claimed that, as a young lawyer, he once defended a construction company against a worker who “lost part of his penis and one of his testicles.”

As the tale goes, the president was so great at his job that he wrote a “memo” that got the case thrown out. He then supposedly felt so guilty that he turned to a life of public service, not for the power, fame, and fortune but to help the little guy.

Fresh out of law school and working as a clerk at a high-powered Wilmington, Delaware, law firm, Biden, in his telling, was tapped to defend a construction company sued by a 23-year-old welder who “lost part of his penis and one of his testicles” to a fire that broke out when he was working inside a chimney at a Delaware City plant. Thanks to Biden’s shrewd legal defense on the construction company’s behalf, the injured man lost the case.

“I wrote this memo. And son of a b—, it prevailed,” Biden told Hur on Oct. 8. “And I looked over at that kid…and I thought, ‘son of a b—, I’m in the wrong business, I’m not made for this.’”

Biden said he was so wracked with guilt that he concocted an excuse to avoid a celebratory lunch with one of the firm’s named partners and walked into the public defender’s office to ask for a job that very day. It’s “the only time I ever lied,” Biden told Hur on Oct. 8.

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation petitioned the Delaware Supreme Court to reopen their case to release Biden’s Senate records after Special Counsel Robert Hur revealed the University of Delaware misled the courts.

The University of Delaware refuses to release Biden’s records and said that the papers will not be released until two years after Biden retires from public office.

“The collection of former Vice President Biden’s senatorial papers is still being processed, with many items yet to be cataloged,” an email from a school spokeswoman said. “The entire collection will remain closed to the public until two years after Mr. Biden retires from public life.”

Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation initially filed a FOIA lawsuit in 2020 for all of Biden’s senate records – 1,850 boxes of records.

Vice President Kamala Harris might have been trying to act tough, but she was really tipping the Biden administration’s hand.

In an interview that aired Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Harris was clearly aiming to up the pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stay Israel’s hand on a pending military operation in its war against the terrorist group Hamas.

But in the process, she blurted out the real truth about the Israel-Hamas war that the Biden administration and the establishment media are ignoring.

Former President Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at the Manhattan prosecutor leading the “hush money” criminal case against him.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee took aim at Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo, a former top Justice Department official under President Biden who also once worked in New York Attorney Letitia James’s office.

“Colangelo is a radical left [prosecutor] from the DOJ who was put into the state working for Letitia James and was then put into the District Attorney’s office to run the trial against Trump,” Trump, 77, fumed during a press conference after a hearing in the case.

“This is all Biden-run things [sic], meaning Biden and his thugs, because I don’t know if he knows he’s alive. And it’s a shame what’s happening to our country,” Trump charged.

Tax documents for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and for a major foundation funded by leftist billionaire George Soros show the organization that purports to represent the U.S. business community has turned hard left in recent years.

The Tides Foundation’s public filings from 2018 to 2022 show the Soros-funded organization has given more than $12 million to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation over that five-year span. In 2018, the Tides Foundation gave the Chamber’s foundation $450,000. In 2019, Tides gave the Chamber group $1,450,000. It gave another $100,000 in 2020, followed by $10 million in 2021 and another $175,885 in 2022. That totals $12,175,885 in a five-year span.

The progressive candidate for Cook County state’s attorney is suddenly closing the gap in his primary election after more than 10,000 votes were suddenly “found” in Chicago.

The Chicago Board of Elections added more than 10,000 votes Saturday after director Max Bever claimed the board somehow forgot to count mail-in votes.

“In adding up the total number of Vote By Mail ballots the Board had received back so far, I mistakenly left out additional ballots that had been received back via USPS the evening of Monday, March 18,” Bever said, according to WBBM-TV

“I traded speed for accuracy in reporting out numbers this week as quickly as I could. I truly regret this error on my part and for the confusion that it has caused the voters of Chicago. I will share updated numbers only when they are accurate and verified,” Bever claimed.

The office claims that 368,990 ballots were cast after the new votes were added, bringing the citywide turnout to 24.44%. There are 1,509,554 registered voters in Cook County.

(SALISBURY, MD) – Maryland State Police arrested a suspect on Monday in connection with the fatal shooting of a teenager and the shooting of a man last year in Wicomico County.

The suspect is identified as Cashmir Holbrook, 17, of Salisbury, Maryland. He is charged as an adult with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and related charges in connection to the fatal shooting of Ja’siah Sin’cer Johnson, 16, and the shooting of Jamere Capri Maynes, 22, both of Salisbury, Maryland.

Holbrook was taken to the Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack for processing before being transported to the Wicomico County Detention Center where he will be held without bail pending an initial appearance before a District Court commissioner. A second suspect, Mykel Elliott, now 17 years old, was arrested on July 6, 2023. He is also charged as an adult with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and related charges. Both Holbrook and Elliott are detained without bond pending trial.

Shortly after midnight on April 16, 2023, officers from the Salisbury Police Department responded to 911 calls reporting shots fired in the 300 block of E. Carroll Street near Buena Vista Avenue in Salisbury, Maryland. Responding officers found both victims suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Johnson was transported from the scene to TidalHealth Peninsula Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased. Maynes was also transported from the scene to TidalHealth Peninsula Medical Center, where he received medical treatment for injuries sustained during the incident.

The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit was requested to respond and take the lead on this investigation.  Additional assistance was provided by State Police Criminal Enforcement Division investigators, as well as detectives and officers from the Salisbury Police Department.

State Police crime scene technicians processed the shooting scene. Personnel from the Salisbury Fire Department also responded for assistance.
Investigators interviewed witnesses and residents in the area.  Crime scene evidence was transported to the State Police Forensic Sciences Division crime laboratory for analysis.  Anyone with information about this shooting is urged to contact Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack at 410-749-3101.
Callers may remain anonymous.

A Manhattan judge has set Daniel Penny’s trial date for Oct. 8, the next step in an unjust, Kafkaesque ordeal that should have never begun.

It’s a travesty that the charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide against the 25-year-old Marine veteran weren’t dismissed (and that they were brought in the first place), a point made that much more obvious by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office declining to press charges last week, after Younece Obuad shot DaJuan Robinson in self-defense on the A train.

Penny was acting in defense, too — of himself and other riders — when he put Jordan Neely in a chokehold on a Manhattan F Train on May 1, 2023, after the 30-year-old homeless man had been ranting in an “insanely threatening” way to the point where other passengers were hiding and praying, according to court docs.

President Joe Biden’s recent speech in Las Vegas, Nevada, regarding his plan to lower housing costs for American families drew attention for an unexpected reason. During his address, Biden veered off-topic, sharing a disjointed story about being labeled the “poorest man in Congress” for 36 years. The narrative included a phone call with his wife while campaigning in New Hampshire and a newspaper headline highlighting his financial status.

In another development, a report from NBC News has raised concerns about Biden’s mental acuity. According to the report, Biden expressed frustration and anger during a closed-door meeting in January upon learning that he was trailing behind Trump in battleground states like Georgia and Michigan. The report suggests discord within Biden’s re-election campaign, particularly regarding strategy amid record-low approval ratings and various challenges such as inflation, migrant issues, and the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict has further complicated matters, with some Democrats expressing dissatisfaction with his stance. In a private meeting at the White House, Biden reportedly reacted strongly to feedback about his declining support from pro-Palestinian Democrats, particularly in battleground states.

Former President Donald Trump is turning the “bloodbath” hoax against President Joe Biden as November looms.

Trump took to Truth Social social media platform to slam the establishment media and Biden for taking his words out of context.

And he let Americans know where the real “bloodbath” they need to worry about is coming from.

Trump’s original remarks, which sparked an unjustified firestorm, were made at a March 16 rally in Dayton, Ohio, where the former president said, “If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”

Black Lives Matter were up to their usual tricks on Wednesday as protesters successfully torpedoed an event at the University of Memphis featuring Second Amendment campaigner Kyle Rittenhouse.

Rittenhouse, who in 2021 was acquitted of all charges after killing two men in self-defense during a Black Lives Matter riot in Kenosha, was giving the speech as part of a Turning Point USA tour focusing on the importance of the Second Amendment.

TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk detailed the situation on the X platform, revealing that university authorities had worked with the far-left activists in an attempt to ruin the event.

“Leftwing agitators are swarming the University of Memphis ahead of tonight’s campus event with Kyle Rittenhouse, chanting “Lock his a** up” and later ‘F*** his a** up,'” Kirk wrote. “The school has gone to incredible lengths to hamstring this event.”

Kirk explained that administrators shared information with BLM, forcing a ticketing system that allowed protesters to attend and refusing to physically intervene when they interrupted the event.

Oakland, California is becoming a ghost town of shuttered businesses due to sky-high crime rates. In recent months, several establishments have announced closing their doors in the Bay Area city. In January, In-N-Out, the successful hamburger chain that originated in the Golden State, announced its first-ever store closure. The location near the Oakland airport will close next week, with the company citing frequent car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies. 

Last year, Target closed its downtown Oakland location after police responded to more than 100 smash-and-grab thefts and similar incidents. In February, a Denny’s location abruptly closed after 54 years of service. Earlier this month, four Taco Bell locations in Oakland announced they would close their dining rooms and only offer drive-thru service while no longer accepting cash transactions. 

Now, authorities in Oakland have snapped into action by taking aim at a 102-year-old wheelchair-bound taxpayer.

If a New York state court does not eventually throw out the $464 million civil fraud judgment against former President Donald Trump as a textbook case of selective prosecution, the United States Supreme Court surely will. But those decisions won’t come until years from now. In the meantime, New York Attorney General Letitia James is doing grave harm to our democracy.

New York’s Executive Law § 63(12) was passed in 1956 to protect consumers from repeat fraudulent actors. The thinking was that an individual bilked out of $20 might not have an incentive to sue the fraudster because it wouldn’t be worth the time and expense of a private lawsuit. But a prosecutor could protect hundreds or thousands of consumers by prosecuting repeat offenders.

That is how the law has been used in New York for decades, with prosecutors bringing suit against businesses that defrauded unsophisticated consumers. Then along came James, who saw an opportunity to attack Trump for political reasons.

The power of Executive Law § 63(12) derives from the fact that prosecutors don’t have to prove a defendant intended to defraud anyone or that anyone was harmed by the defendant’s actions. All the prosecutor has to show is that a fraudulent act was committed while doing business in New York.

During 11 years of business with Deutsche Bank, Trump signed many loan applications that the trial judge considered fraudulent, including an estimate that his Manhattan penthouse was three times its actual size and that unfinished buildings were complete.

Donald Trump‘s former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller claims the January 6 committee threatened to ‘make his life hell’ if he kept claiming his former boss authorized National Guard deployment during the Capitol riot.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center said he became ‘fearful’ of aggressive tactics by members of the Democrat-led panel who tried to stop him speaking publicly about a narrative that didn’t align with their final report.

Miller’s bombshell claims follow a report by Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk that reveals the committee withheld a transcript from an interview with a top White House official where he told Vice Chair Liz Cheney and other staffers that Trump did want to deploy troops.

Tennessee cop-gone-wild Maegan Hall settled her lawsuit with the city of La Vergne for $500,000 after she was fired when an internal probe revealed her raunchy romps with six male officers that involved games of ‘strip-Uno’ and foot fetish photos.

The 28-year-old was fired in January 2023 after it was first discovered that she had sexual relationships with several cops in the suburban-Nashville department – some who have been terminated, others suspended.

The rookie cop hit back in a federal lawsuit, claiming she was groomed and abused by lecherous superiors, including Police Chief Burrel ‘Chip’ Davis and Sgt. Lewis Powell, a 15-year law enforcement veteran.

The half-million settlement includes court costs, attorneys fees and expenses paid out by the city’s insurance.

The La Vergne board voted 3-1 at a special meeting in favor of settling the lawsuit.

Maryland‘s Democrat Senate frontrunner Rep. David Trone uttered a racial slur during a House meeting, but claimed he was just trying to say ‘bugaboo’.

Trone, 68, was talking about Democrat tax policies with Shalanda Young, who is director of the Office of Budget and Management, when he used the offensive term.

The congressman said to Young, who is a black woman: ‘So this Republican ji***** that it’s the tax rate that’s stopping business investment, it’s just completely faulty by people who have never run a business.’

Trone didn’t pause or seem to notice what he had said – but he was later forced to apologize, telling Fox News Digital it was a slip of the tongue.

Pleading his innocence, he said: ‘Today while attempting to use the word ‘bugaboo’ in a hearing, I used a phrase that is offensive.’

A mystery rise in aggressive colon and stomach cancers may be partly fueled by bacteria, according to two new studies.

Experts have been baffled by the startling rise in tumors in the colon and rectum in past two decades, which are increasingly affecting young people.

Theories for the rise include the increase in the number of people with diets rich in junk food and climbing obesity rates. But now, researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle have found that the Fusobacterium nucleatum, which lives in dental plaque, could explain why some colon tumors are so hard to treat.

Scientists are developing a ‘groundbreaking’ lung cancer vaccine which research suggests will be effective in preventing up to 90 per cent of cases.

The jab — which will be given to those at highest risk of developing the disease — will train the immune system to spot and attack early signs of disease.

Experts described it as a ‘crucial moment’ in the fight against the devastating disease, which affects 48,500 in the UK every year.

Known as ‘LungVax’, it is being created by the University of Oxford, the Francis Crick Institute and University College London.

Lung cancer cells look different from normal cells due to having ‘red flag’ proteins called neoantigens.

Former President Donald Trump has been doing so well, beating Joe Biden in the polls, it’s causing a meltdown by people on the left. As we reported, part of the reason is that Biden/Democrats are losing a lot of black and Hispanic voters, some of whom are going to Trump. That’s making Biden lose his mind behind the scenes.

It’s also clearly making other Democrats nervous and wondering what they can do to defeat Trump. The lawfare hasn’t seemed to work. So what’s left?

What James Carville appeared to suggest on CNN euphemistically was very disturbing. He said that Joe Biden wasn’t the best “attack politician” and that other people like Carville should be doing “wet work” against Trump, a word used to mean murder or assassination. What made it worse was Anderson Cooper’s reaction.

The Biden campaign couldn’t have picked a worse time to copy Donald Trump’s name-calling strategy.

In an effort to highlight Trump’s lagging fundraising figures in the 2024 race, as well as a $454 million judgement in his NY civil fraud case, the Biden team has dubbed the former president “Broke Don”  (a slap in the face to millions of hard working Americans who are now actually broke thanks to ‘Bidenomics,’ we might add).

On Wednesday, public election filings showed that Trump’s 2024 campaign brought in $10.9 million last month, while his joint fundraising committee raised nearly $11 million, bringing total cash on hand to around $42 million.

Biden’s campaign, meanwhile, raised around $53 million in February, giving him $155 million in cash on hand entering this month.

Except, Trump’s worth just jumped by roughly $3.5 billion after shareholders in Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC) on Friday approved a merger with Trump’s media startup, Truth Social.

The House Oversight Committee Hearing on “Influence Peddling: Examining Joe Biden’s Abuse of Public Office” from Wednesday was dominated by key moments, especially when it comes to witness Tony Bobulinski. In his opening statement, Bobulinski testified that Hunter Biden perjured himself. He also mentioned repeatedly throughout the hearing how the Bidens lied.

It wasn’t just Hunter who perjured himself, Bobulinski said, but so did President Joe Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, when it comes to involvement with Chinese-linked company CEFC.

Bobulinski said he had “met with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and Jim Biden at the Beverly Hilton in May 2017,” which Hunter acknowledged but Jim denied took place. With passion, Bobulinski emphasized that “Hunter Biden, in his own transcribed interview, confirmed that that meeting took place,” adding “Hunter confirmed his uncle perjured himself in front of this Committee.”

“The Committee was so shocked by his perjury that they asked him the same question multiple times,” Bobulinski also shared. “Each time he denied meeting with me and Joe Biden, after the Committee showed him text messages confirming that.” Matt Margolis at our sister site of PJ Media highlighted how Bobulinski “has receipts.”

Bobulinski also noted that James Biden “lied extensively throughout his transcribed interview on February 21, and perjured himself.” The New York Post has put out an explainer of remarks made by the president’s brother and Bobulinski.

On Saturday night Fani Willis told CNN that the proceedings against her and her disgraced lover Nathan Wade did not slow down the proceedings against President Trump in Fulton County.

Willis told CNN “a train is coming” in her ongoing lawfare case against President Trump and 18 Trump associates.

Ten days ago, Judge Scott McAfee refused to remove Fani Willis from her junk RICO case against President Trump despite perjuring herself under oath about the length of her relationship with disgraced lover Nathan Wade.

It should be noted that dirty Judge Scott McAfee donated to Fani Willis’s campaign during her run for Fulton County District Attorney.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Friday that former President Donald Trump was “not likely” to see his properties seized by Democratic Attorney General Letitia James of New York.

James filed judgments against Trump and others in Westchester County, New York, where Trump owns a private estate in Seven Springs and the Trump National Golf Club Westchester, Friday. Turley said that James could find seizing the properties much more difficult than she thought.

“These properties are partnerships, they have leveraged debt. All of that has to be unraveled,” Turley told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. “So these aren’t just this, you know, one to one Trump versus James type of equation. So in order to seize that property, she’s going to be pulled into court, there’s going to be challenges. It’s not going to happen overnight. Everyone is celebrating this idea that she’s going to padlock Trump Tower. It’s not likely to happen, and it’s certainly not likely to remain very long.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has agreed to remove social media posts and webpages that urged people to stop taking ivermectin to treat COVID-19, according to a settlement dated March 21.

The FDA has already removed a page that said: “Should I take ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19? No.”

Within 21 days, the FDA will remove another page titled, “why you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19,” according to the settlement announcement, which was filed with federal court in southern Texas.

“The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals,” the page currently states. It also says that data do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19, despite how some studies it cites show ivermectin is effective against the illness.

The FDA in the settlement is also agreeing to delete multiple social media posts that came out strongly against ivermectin, including one that stated: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”

In exchange, doctors who sued the agency are dismissing their claims, the filing states.

“FDA loses its war on ivermectin and agrees to remove all social media posts and consumer directives regarding ivermectin and COVID, including its most popular tweet in FDA history,” Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, one of the doctors, said in a statement. “This landmark case sets an important precedent in limiting FDA overreach into the doctor-patient relationship.”

We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the settlement as it is a victory for every doctor and patient in the United States,” added Dr. Paul Marik, chief scientific officer of the FLCCC Alliance and another plaintiff. “The FDA interfered in the practice of medicine with their irresponsible language and posts about ivermectin. We will never know how many lives were affected because patients were denied access to a lifesaving treatment because their doctor was ‘just following the FDA.’”

An FDA spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email that the agency “has chosen to resolve this lawsuit rather than continuing to litigate over statements that are between two and nearly four years old.”

Slowly, but steadily, Philadelphia’s drug-ridden Kensington section is all but shutting down. The area, best known for its zombie-like appearance, is now forcing 24 hour businesses like gas stations and convenience stores to shut down between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Because what better way to address the drug problem than to shut down law-abiding businesses in the area? Once again, government is thinking ‘outside the box’ with your tax dollars.

The proposal was put forward by Councilmember Quetcy Lozada of the 7th District, representing Kensington, during a Council Stated Meeting on Thursday and is aimed at curbing crime, mitigating litter issues, and moderating nocturnal activities in the community.

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.” -Barack Obama

With less than eight months before the 2024 election, the Biden re-election campaign is in big trouble. Not only is Biden lagging in the polls vs. Donald Trump, the border crisis he created by shredding all of Trump’s Executive Orders on immigration has resulted in 10 million illegals flooding into the United States – which has left even Democrats livid.

What’s more, Biden is quickly losing the support of young Americansand the latino vote.

Things are so bad that TIME magazine has just devoted 3,700 words to let us know that Barack Obama ‘warned’ the Biden campaign last June that defeating Trump would be harder in 2024 (because no pandemic or hoax dossier to set him up?). Six months later, Obama ‘saw few signs of improvement.’

Obama returned to the White House in December, with a ‘more urgent’ message: the re-election campaign was behind schedule in building out field operations, and that an ‘insular group of advisers’ in the West Wing was hamstringing the effort.

Now, it’s really bad…

Three months later, the 2024 general election is under way, and Biden is indeed in trouble. His stubbornly low approval ratings have sunk into the high 30s, worse than those of any other recent President seeking re-election. He’s trailed or tied Trump in most head-to-head matchups for months. Voters express concerns about his policies, his leadership, his age, and his competency. The coalition that carried Biden to victory in 2020 has splintered; the Democrats’ historic advantage with Black, Latino, and Asian American voters has dwindled to lows not seen since the civil rights movement. -TIME

Meanwhile, Biden’s inner circle is “defiantly sanguine” as a “fog of dread” descends on Democrats.

Joe Biden has great trouble speaking and dealing with the teleprompter live. 

It looks like they pulled in more help for him on Saturday when they released a “National Call” that was supposed to be live with Barack Obama and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). But the “live” video looked heavily edited, and they looked completely unnatural.

The RNC Research folks called them out for splicing the video and then falsely calling it “live” when Joe Biden was actually in Delaware on Saturday. The account said it was recorded yesterday.  This one clip has multiple cuts in it; Biden looks terrible and is slurring again. You can judge for yourself.

Veep Kamala Harris was cluelessly clapping along and all smiles as a man began singing in Spanish outside a community center in Puerto Rico last week — until she was told what he was actually saying.

The vice president, 59, had ventured into a courtyard after her visit to the Goyoco community center in San Juan when the protester broke into song in Spanish.

Trying to be friendly, the unwitting Harris nodded and clapped along — but then an aide appeared to inform her about what the lyrics meant, and suddenly she stopped.

Democrats continue to make a mockery of our elections.

Chicago Democrats even cheat on each other. And the more radical candidate ALWAYS wins!

Eileen O’Neill Burke was leading the neo-Marxist by nearly 10,000 votes just days ago after the election. Not any more.

Chicago announces the existence of an additional 10,000 mail-in ballots that were “mistakenly” not mentioned until now.

Currently, Eileen O’Neill Burke is leading the radical neo-Marxist candidate Clayton Harris III by just under 4,800 votes.

A well-funded environmentalist group played a key role in the push to remove dams in the Pacific Northwest’s Klamath River ahead of premature deaths of thousands of salmon.

American Rivers — an organization that has received millions of dollars from left-of-center environmentalist grantmaking organizations in recent years — was “the orchestrator of the Klamath dams removal project,” according to Siskiyou News, a local outlet in Northern California. The drawdowns of several reservoirs pursuant to the scheduled removal of four dams in the river preceded the deaths of “hundreds of thousands” of young salmon in the waterway, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.

The push to remove the dams is often marketed as beneficial for salmon, as proponents of the plan — including American Rivers — have argued that the dams obstruct the natural movements of salmon as well as their access to habitat. However, weeks after beginning the process to remove one of the systems scheduled for deconstruction on the river, a large number of the 830,000 young salmon released into the river on Feb. 26 had died as of March 2, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).

ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Wes Moore released the following statement on the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge:

My office is in close communication with U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski, and the Baltimore Fire Department as emergency personnel are on the scene following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

I have declared a State of Emergency here in Maryland and we are working with an interagency team to quickly deploy federal resources from the Biden Administration.

We are thankful for the brave men and women who are carrying out efforts to rescue those involved and pray for everyone’s safety.

We will remain in close contact with federal, state, and local entities that are carrying out rescue efforts as we continue to assess and respond to this tragedy.

A Singapore-flagged vessel struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday. Part of the span has collapsed, and an emergency response is underway, the authorities said, with people possibly in the water.

Here’s what we know.

A major bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being struck by a cargo ship early Tuesday, setting off an emergency response, the Coast Guard and the local authorities said.

It was not immediately clear how many people were on the span, the Francis Scott Key Bridge, when the cargo ship made impact, or what happened to them. The bridge is part of Interstate 695, an outer crossing of Baltimore Harbor.

A portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, has collapsed after a large container boat collided with it early Tuesday morning.

Reports came in around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday that a large vessel crashed into a column in the central part of the bridge carrying north and southbound lanes of Interstate 695, catching on fire before causing multiple vehicles to fall into the Patapsco River below.

At least seven vehicles, including at least one tractor-trailer-sized vehicle, have collapsed into the water, Baltimore City Fire spokesman Kevin Cartwright confirmed with WTOP. He added that a dive team was deployed to help those in the river.

Michele Morrow, a homeschooling mother who recently won the GOP nomination to lead public schools in North Carolina, pledged the return of “sound, basic public education” in an interview with Fox News Digital.

And her general election contest against Democrat Mo Green figures to be one of the most watched and politically charged races nationally this year.

A supporter of former President Trump who attended a rally outside the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, 2021, Morrow was no stranger to controversy when she ran in the March 5 GOP primary and defeated current North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt.

As she advances to the general election, Morrow outlined her promise to parents while her past social media posts that once roiled her unsuccessful 2022 campaign for the Wake County School Board once again resurface during her 2024 bid for statewide office.

“I want to get back to sound, basic education. I want our children to be able to think, to be able to solve problems, to be able to overcome obstacles,” she told Fox News Digital. “If we talk to any of our neighbors that have come from other countries where they’ve lived under radical regimes, they understand the incredible benefit and blessing that it is to live in a nation where we have our religious freedoms.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrapped up a trip to Israel on Friday, having failed to convince Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and the rest of the leadership there to essentially surrender to Hamas.

Members of the Biden administration suffered embarrassment earlier in the morning after their “ceasefire” resolution went down in the flames at the UN. They are such amateurs that they can’t even throw Israel under the bus without screwing it up.

Blinken continued to try, though, meeting with Netanyahu and lecturing him on the finer points of combating Hamas. You know, because if anyone knows about defeating terrorists, it’s the guy who helped lead the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and has more recently overseen the resurgence of the Islamic State.

Here’s a bit of what transpired behind closed doors.

Behind the scenes: Blinken told Netanyahu and the war cabinet that he came to Israel as a friend who spent the past five months defending Israel around the world.

  • But he warned that on the current trajectory, without a clear plan for the day after the war, Israel will be left with a major insurgency it can’t handle.
  • “You need a coherent plan, or either you’re going to be stuck in Gaza,” Blinken said, according to the source.

Donald Trump’s former acting Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller, has revealed that he felt “threatened” by former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and other members of the January 6th Committee after he refused to endorse their version of events.

In an interview with Daily Mail, Miller said that he became “fearful” of the panel’s tactics after they tried to stop him making claims that ran contrary to their preferred narrative.

According to Miller, the panel were particularly upset by a Fox News interview he gave with Trump national security official Kash Patel in which he pointed out that the former president authorized the National Guard to step in quell the protests taking place in and around the Capitol.

“The two of us were on [the Fox News show] and the next day my lawyer got a call from the Jan. 6 staff director – I forgot exactly who it was – but basically saying, very legalistic: ‘Well, if your client has additional information he wants to share, we’d be happy to have him re-interviewed,’” Miller explained.

Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Florida on Saturday where she will tout a Biden administration effort to provide “training and technical assistance” to individuals “responsible for implementing laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who pose a threat to themselves or others.”

The new program drew immediate backlash from some Republicans who called the effort a “massive Red Flag Operation.”

The National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center, according to a Saturday Department of Justice press release, will specifically provide assistance to law enforcement officials, prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim service and social service providers, community organizations and behavioral health professionals.

“ERPO laws, which are modeled off domestic violence protection orders, create a civil process allowing law enforcement, family members (in most states), and medical professionals or other groups (in some states) to petition a court to temporarily prohibit someone at risk of harming themselves or others from purchasing and possessing firearms for the duration of the order,” DOJ noted.
