The Fired Ukrainian Prosecutor General Speaks

Featured image We’ve all seen the clip a thousand times. Speaking to a group of foreign policy experts at a 2018 Council on Foreign Relations event, President Joe Biden boasted that he threatened to hold back $1 billion of U.S. aid unless then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko fired Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating corruption inside energy company Burisma Holdings. Shokin’s office was also looking into the activities of Ukrainian oligarch Mykola »

Former Mob Boss Sheds Light on Biden Family Corruption

Featured image Former mobster Michael Franzese, 72, operated for many years as a caporegime in the Colombo crime family. He joined Fox News’ Jesse Watters on Thursday night to discuss the striking similarities between the Biden family’s alleged money laundering operation and his own experiences. (How much longer must we preface every mention of the Biden family’s activities with the word “alleged”?) Franzese funneled money through a series of 18 shell corporations. »

Debate performance changed my mind on Ramaswamy

Featured image I was delighted to see biotech entrepreneur and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy break into the double-digits in an early July poll. I’d been impressed with the anti-woke candidate from the moment I first heard him speak. Ramaswamy, 38, who was largely unknown in political circles before declaring his candidacy in late February, is an impressive person whose name recognition is growing. He is smart, driven, and uncommonly articulate. »

Pollster: Trump is ‘stronger today than he’s ever been’

Featured image In a Tuesday interview with conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk, Big Data pollster Rich Baris claimed that support for former President Donald Trump is stronger today than in either 2016 or 2020. He also believes the 2024 election will be a “total disaster for the Democrats.” From his lips to God’s ears. Here’s some of what Baris had to say: It’s just not 2020. It’s not 2016. They are just totally »

CNN Legal Analyst ‘Perplexed’ by DOJ’s Corruption

Featured image On Tuesday night, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told Sean Hannity, “It’s ironic that Donald Trump’s being charged under RICO [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] when in fact, Joe Biden has been running an organized crime operation. I think if you watch The Sopranos, take out the murders … you’ll understand the Bidens.” Of course, any sane person would draw a similar conclusion. But with the arrival of former »

Report: Aides Steer Clear of Discussing Hunter’s Legal Woes with Biden

Featured image According to a new CNN report, President Joe Biden is so triggered by the media coverage swirling around his son that aides are refusing to even broach the topic with him. The president is said to be ‘obsessed’ with and ‘irritated’ by the press reports. Well, what parent wouldn’t be? Especially when House investigators have already turned up evidence of Biden’s own complicity in his son’s overseas business dealings and »

Hunter Biden’s sweetheart deal was even sweeter before news of IRS whistleblower

Featured image We were all appalled to hear in June that Hunter Biden had received a sweetheart plea deal from U.S. Attorney David Weiss. Under that agreement, Hunter would plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of tax evasion and enter into a pretrial diversion agreement on a felony charge of possession of a firearm by a user of illegal drugs. As we know, the deal fell apart in spectacular fashion at the »

Unlike the Trump indictments, the case against Biden is straightforward

Featured image Those of us who follow the news for a living understand the details of the three indictments to date against former President Donald Trump. The average American understands only that he’s been indicted three times and that a fourth is likely on the way in Georgia. Those who get their news from legacy media sites are told that Trump threatens the very fabric of our democracy. But from there, it »

This is bigger than Hunter Biden – and even Joe Biden

Featured image Even Osama bin Laden recognized that President Joe Biden wasn’t a particularly bright man. In May 2012, the West Point Counter Terrorism Center released a series of translated, declassified documents seized during the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden. In a May 2010 letter to a colleague, bin Laden explained why he was calling for the assassination of then-President Barack Obama. He wrote: Obama is the head of infidelity and »

America’s decline follows a familiar arc: ‘gradually, then suddenly’

Featured image You’ve likely never heard of Scottish mathematician John Napier, but his invention of logarithms in 1614 revolutionized the scientific world by making complicated calculations a thing of the past.  In a recent essay, Simon Black, the founder of financial/political website Sovereign Man, discussed Napier’s concept of logarithmic decay, which he noted “models many real world phenomena.” According to Black:  [S]omething [a society or even one’s bank account] declines very, very »

The House GOP Investigations Matter

Featured image Few saw it coming. News of the collapse of Hunter Biden’s sweetheart deal sent shockwaves throughout Washington on Wednesday. U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika’s refusal to sign off on the plea agreement was the worst possible outcome for the Biden family, but it was a great outcome for the rule of law in America. This morning, Hunter was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of tax evasion »

If Devon Archer says what he’s expected to say, it’s lights out for Biden

Featured image As House Republicans close in on the truth about the Biden family’s overseas influence peddling business, Democrats are growing more and more desperate. As well they should.  At last week’s House Oversight Committee meeting, ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who is rapidly becoming the “Adam Schiff” of the GOP’s investigation into the Bidens, tried mightily to separate President Joe Biden from his son. He told colleagues, “Like other addicts, »

Would voters really reelect the ‘senescent, sticky-fingered … spavined’ Biden?

Featured image In a recent interview with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo, former President Donald Trump recounted a long ago conversation he’d had with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. He claimed he asked Kennedy whom he considered to be the smartest senator. Trump told Maria: “I won’t tell you the answer because I don’t particularly like the guy. I said, ‘Who’s the dumbest?’ He said, ‘Probably Joe [Biden].’” According to Trump, Kennedy replied, »

The truth about the Biden family business is becoming too big to hide

Featured image At a Jan. 26, 1998 White House event, with wife Hillary by his side, then-President Bill Clinton wagged his finger at reporters and said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”  If not for the stains on Monica Lewinsky’s infamous “blue dress,” he would have been happy to leave it at that. But called upon to provide a blood sample for DNA testing that summer, Clinton »

A Parallel Conservative Economy? American Heartland Announces $2 Billion Theme Park in Oklahoma

Featured image Move over Snow White and the Seven Magical Creatures! As the Left continues to alienate themselves from traditional American values with woke new versions of classic fairy tales and children’s stories, conservatives have quietly begun building a parallel economy. The boldest arrival into this space is American Heartland Theme Park, an affiliate of Mansion Entertainment Group, LLC. The company has announced plans to create a $2 billion, 1,000 acre entertainment »

GOP senators peeved over number of constituents who believe 2020 election was stolen

Featured image Several Republican senators told The Hill this week that more and more frequently, they are being “confronted by constituents who buy into discredited conspiracy theories such as the claim that Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election or that federal agents incited the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.” The Hill spoke to at least three GOP senators, including Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and two others who requested anonymity.  »

New Poll: 39% of Democrats Say It’s Likely Biden Took Foreign Bribes

Featured image A new Issues&Insights/TIPP poll found that 56% of those surveyed think it’s either very likely or somewhat likely that President Joe Biden took bribes from foreign nationals during his vice presidency. Just 27% said it was not very likely and 18% were not sure. Participants were asked, “How likely is it that the claims made by government whistleblowers alleging that President Biden, his son Hunter, and other members of his »
