The Lt. Governor of New York, Brian Benjamin, just surrendered to police over campaign finance fraud charges stemming from a past campaign, as NBC reported. According to that outlet, the Lt. Governor should appear in a federal court in Manhattan later today, (Tuesday the 12th of April) in connection with the matter. Governor Hochul’s office has not yet commented on the matter despite Hochul having appointed Benjamin to the position in 2021 after he lost a NYC comptroller primary. Before this role, he was a New York State Senator. Describing the allegations against Benjamin in a recent article, NBC New…

What happened when the University of Pennsylvania announced the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in February of 2017, mere weeks after Biden’s vice presidency ended? Chinese donors, many of them anonymous, flooded it with millions in donations. The New York Post, reporting on that massive wave of cash sent in after the Biden Center was announced, notes that: The center, which is located in Washington, DC, opened its doors in February 2018. Antony Blinken, whom Biden named as secretary of state, briefly served as its managing director. The Ivy League university received $15.8 million in anonymous Chinese…
What is the MAGA movement? A populist force meant to protect the average American from the ravages of globalization and stand up to the predatory elite for them? A generally conservative movement with a few populist impulses? A cry of rage from those who have been dispossessed and seen their lives ruined thanks to financiers sending factories to China and open border policies letting drugs and cheap labor flow into the US? In reality, it’s perhaps some combination of all of those, though that’s now what an MSNBC contributor, political professor Jason Johnson, has to say. He, appearing on “The…
When the GOP passes laws restricting abortion, what’s the reason? Most conservatives would tell you that the whole point of restricting abortion isn’t to compel the mother to do anything, though that’s a result, but rather to protect the unborn children from being killed, to prevent the murder of babes. Leftists can and do disagree with that logic, mainly because they think fetuses aren’t children, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not what the GOP generally thinks. Leftist screaming doesn’t change that. But, still, one of the cackling hens on the View is of the opinion that the GOP is…
Has America’s senile Commander in Chief been compromised by our nation’s greatest enemy and most dangerous competitor, Communist China? According to Senator Chuck Grassley, who appeared on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss the Joe Biden situation, it sure looks like it. Senator Grassley said as much after Watters led the conversation off, asking “Do you have evidence, senator, that would lead to you believe that Joe is potentially compromised by the Chinese?” Grassley responded in the affirmative, saying that though he didn’t have enough evidence to prove anything definitively about Slow Joe, he does have enough evidence to raise…
Durham’s investigation into the Russia hoax has dragged on for a long while now, with Durham proceeding methodically but painfully slowly as he identifies those responsible for the Russia hoax and compiles mounds of evidence against them. As of late, that investigation has been in the news a good bit because of what he’s finally amassed enough evidence to prove about Hillary Clinton’s campaign: that it was behind the Steele Dossier and much of the “Russia” nonsense responsible for weighing down Trump during the first few years of his presidency. Well, now Special Counsel Durham has dragged another big-name Democrat…
Back when it was first announced that Elon Musk had spent a few of his billions on purchasing a massive stake in Twitter, a stake large enough to make him the biggest single holder of Twitter shares, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said that Elon had been invited to join Twitter’s board, saying: I’m excited to share that we’re appointing @elonmusk to our board! Through conversations with Elon in recent weeks, it became clear to us that he would bring great value to our Board. Elon, at the time, responded in a manner that made it sound like he would join,…
Elon Musk has been having quite a wild week. Hot off the heels of his massive, multi-billion dollar Twitter stock purchase being announced, he opened the Tesla Gigafactory in Tony Stark-level style, whipping past a roaring crowd in a new Tesla convertible while wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat as lasers danced across the room and lights flashed. It was epic: You can’t tell me @elonmusk is not the real-life version of Tony Stark. pic.twitter.com/9I11KojddU — Chairman (@WSBChairman) April 8, 2022 That was awesome. But, Elon being Elon, he didn’t let that massive Gigafactory opening dim any of the buzz…
Are Floridians furious and frustrated with their governor, Ron DeSantis, over the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, as woke companies like Disney and far-left “news” sources like MSNBC would have you believe? No, no they’re not. At least not the normal Floridians that like not having schools propagandize to their kids. The proof in the pudding is how DeSantis is treated by crowds. Unlike obviously unpopular politicians like Joe Biden, who for a good chunk of 2021 was booed around the nation with cries of “Let’s Go, Brandon!” and “F*** Joe Biden”, DeSantis is cheered with wild applause when he…
What seems more likely: that the government needs to reign in its spending excesses or that the middle class, already suffering under the yoke of inflation and taxation, needs to pick up an even bigger piece of the tax bill each year? According to Mike Gibbons, a former investment banker running for Ohio’s open Senate seat, the answer is that the middle class needs to foot a larger chunk of the bill. He said as much when speaking to the Heartland Signal, saying: “The top 20 percent of earners in the U.S. pay 82 percent of federal income tax ……
Jussie Smollett is certainly not innocent; he faked a hate crime in a mind-numbingly dumb way, paying by check for the faux assault that supposedly occurred in the dead of winter, in the middle of night, in far-left Chicago, with pro-Trump goons supposedly recognizing the black TV actor and then being fought off as he held onto his Subway order. The whole thing was beyond absurd, something believable only to those who seem able to find a racist “dog whistle” in each and every innocuous hand gesture, statement, or piece of literature that’s not explicitly “anti-racist.” But, of course, Jussie’s…
Hot off the heels of not getting to play in a big tournament because of her terrible performance during the summer Olympics and general nastiness, Megan Rapinoe is back in the news for being nasty, this time attacking one of America’s favorite pop culture icons: the Rock. That happened on Twitter after the spring football league called the XFL, a league that’s partially owned by Johnson, revealed its mission statement in a recent campaign. Here’s the logo: The XFL has just unveiled its new brand logo: pic.twitter.com/GbPVBfYKnF — Jake Russell (@_JakeRussell) April 6, 2022 Johnson, speaking about the logo in…
Things aren’t going great for Team Biden or for Biden himself; turns out, being a demented leftist isn’t great for you or the country you’re supposedly running. Shocker. In any case, things just took a turn for the even worse for him, both on the legal front and the electoral situation front. Beginning with the legal front, rock-ribbed conservative Senator Ron Johnson took to Hannity to discuss that and, during the Hannity appearance he said that the Biden “dam is breaking.” In his words “Well, the only problem with the special counsel appointed by Merrick Garland is, I wouldn’t have…
Can lawfare be used to stop Biden and his disastrous policies before it’s too late? The GOP-dominated government of Alabama thinks so; it just sued Biden over his refusal to deport illegals. The Daily Journal, reporting on that lawsuit, notes that: Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is suing the Biden administration over claims it is ignoring immigration law that requires the federal government to arrest, detain and deport foreign nationals in the U.S. illegally. The lawsuit alleges that the Biden administration’s immigration policy exceeds the authority of the Department of Homeland Security, is arbitrary and capricious, illegally bypassed notice and…
While Georgia Governor Kemp has followed DeSantis’ lead in passing pro-parent legislation of the sort that caused leftists to freak out when Florida passed its so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, Florida Governor DeSantis is obviously worried that far-left Democrat Stacey Abrams might win the gubernatorial race in a state turned purple by migration. As a result, DeSantis sent a warning Georgia’s way during a recent press conference, saying: “I just want you to know that we really appreciate our Georgians “If Stacey Abrams is elected Governor of Georgia, I’m just going to be honest, that will be a Cold War…
Dawn Taplin was a security officer and 17-year veteran of the police force who worked on one of Disney’s cruise ships. But, for her, the cruises weren’t as wonderful as the commercials make them look; rather, there were instances of child molestation that, when she reported them to higher-ups, didn’t promptly make their way to the proper authorities, as Click Orlando reported, saying: When Dawn Taplin saw news reports of police arresting Disney Cruise Line cabin steward Ahmed Sofyan two weeks ago on suspicion of molesting a 13-year-old girl on board the ship, she gasped. “I just happened to blurt…
At this point, a Trump 2024 run is widely expected. The former president obviously isn’t over what happened to him in 2024, knows that he’s the most popular GOP figure right now, both generally and among the MAGA base, and sees Joe Biden as an easy target, particularly given how badly he’s performed over the past year. As such, he’s dropped numerous hints about his 2024 intentions. At a recent rally, for example, he all but declared his presidency, saying “Isn’t it nice, I’m saying it’s not irreparable?. We can fix it. Otherwise, there’s no reason for me to be here.…
What could make Kid Rock’s already anti-Fauci, anti-Biden message even better? How about a message from former President Donald Trump? Sounds good to me! Fortunately for all of us, that’s just what happened: Kid Rock kicked off his new tour with an awesome message from the former president, a president whose base shares quite a few members with Rock’s audience. In the message, which can be viewed here, Trump said: “Hello everyone. I love you all. I know you’re having a great time at the Kid Rock concert tonight. Quite frankly, he’s amazing. All of you in attendance are the…
A few days ago, at an event hosted by the University of Chicago, a college kid destroyed Brian Stelter and his network, CNN, with one simple question. He asked: You’ve all spoken about Fox News being a purveyor of disinformation. But CNN is right up there with them. They pushed the Russian collusion hoax, they pushed the Jussie Smollett hoax, they smeared [Supreme Court] Justice [Brett] Kavanaugh as a rapist and they also smeared Nick Sandmann as a white supremacist, and, yes, they dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop affair as pure Russian disinformation. With mainstream corporate journalists becoming little more…
Death by firing squad is making a comeback in South Carolina. The Greenville News reported as much in an article a few weeks ago, saying that. “The South Carolina Department of Corrections spent about $53,600 to establish a firing squad and renovate its execution facility, according to Department of Corrections spokesperson Chrysti Shain. That includes a number of rifles — exactly how many was redacted in a response to a records request by The Greenville News — and it includes renovations to the capital-punishment facility, stainless steel sheeting, ammunition, and ballistic partitions, according to invoices obtained through the Freedom of Information…
The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) is a ridiculous bill, one that only could have been conceived of and written by legacy media hacks. It would, under the guise of “competition” and fighting misinformation, give legacy media outlets a huge step up over up-and-coming media outlets that have capitalized on the lack of public trust in lying, obviously far left legacy media outlets. The bill would, in its words, “This bill creates a four-year safe harbor from antitrust laws for print, broadcast, or digital news companies to collectively negotiate with online content distributors (e.g., social media companies) regarding the…
What is the primary duty of a government? To defend its citizens, both from criminals at home and predators from abroad. That’s the whole reason we accept paying taxes, put up with the mandates and idiosyncrasies of the government and its bureaucrats, and generally live and let live when it comes to the government doing things predictably badly. Unfortunately, Team Biden isn’t so keen on living up to that responsibility and defending the nation’s borders, particularly its southern border. Rather, it seems intent on bowing to the radical left on that issue and just letting migrants wander across at will.…
The Alabama legislature recently decided to pass two bills regarding transgender children, bills that were meant to protect children, bills that were duly signed by the Alabama governor, Kay Ivey. The first bill, SB184, prohibits prescribing transgender conversion therapies to minors, something that many consider to be quite reasonable given that it applies only to children, children who might be confused and whose minds aren’t fully developed. The other bill, HB322, is much like the bills recently passed in Florida and Georgia; it prohibits discussions regarding sexual orientation from kindergarten to 5th grade, or the elementary school level, in Alabama…
Senator Lisa Murkowski, an inveterate RINO from Alaska, was one of the three GOP turncoats that ditched their party and sided with the left to confirm Kentanji Brown Jackson, Biden’s far-left SCOTUS nominee, to the Supreme Court. Siding with the usual suspects, RINO Mitt and Susan “basically a Democrat” Collins, Murkowski helped ensure that the soft on pedos judge is now a justice. Well, it turns out that she has a primary challenger with a bit of political sense. That would be Kelly Tshibaka, a Trump-backed Senate candidate in Alaska. She used Murkowski’s vote to hammer her, saying: “Lisa Murkowski…
Tim Scott, being a conservative rather than a RINO, decided to vote against confirming Biden’s far-left SCOTUS nominee, now-Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson. He, explaining that decision at the beginning of the week, said: “The historic nature of Judge Jackson’s nomination reinforces the progress our country has made. However, ideology must be the determining factor—not identity—when considering such an important lifetime appointment. It is clear that Judge Jackson’s judicial philosophy and positions on the defining issues of our time make her the wrong choice for the Supreme Court. From leaving the door open on court packing to her multiple overturned opinions,…
What’s one to do if you catch a pedophile molesting your child? In Texas, the answer apparently is “hold him at gunpoint.” Sounds like the merciful answer. In any case, that’s what happened in 2019 when Ivan Alejandro Robles, who is now 41, was caught molesting a 13-year-old back in January of 2019. Rather than just scream and yell, which probably would have let him get away, Robles was held at gunpoint by the child’s mother, which kept him from running away so the cops could arrest him. As Newsweek reports: Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office prosecutors said Ramos…
What’s a conservative to do when bombarded by far-left hecklers, as many non-woke Americans often are, particularly when dealing with college kids? Shutting them down with a brilliant response is probably the best move. So, it’s fun to see when someone is actually able to do that. Coming up with a witty reply on the fly can be difficult, particularly during a highly-charged and emotional political event or situation. Well, Supreme Court Justice Amy Comey Barrett did so in an amazing way when appearing at an event as a featured guest. Speaking during an event at the Ronald Reagan Presidential…
Recently, Governor Abbott of Texas announced that he’d bus illegal immigrants caught in Texas to the Capitol steps in DC as an anti-Biden display, saying in a press conference: “With the Biden administration ending Title 42 expulsions in May, Texas will be taking its own unprecedented actions this month to do what no state in America has ever done in the history of this country to better secure our state, as well as our nation. “To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed with hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration, Texas is…
Can Mitch “the RINO” McConnell be trusted to stand up for conservative interests and the values that his ruby red voters presumably elected him to fight for when he ran as a Republican? No, no he can’t. His spine is weaker than overcooked spaghetti and Mitch rarely has the guts to stand up to the radical left on anything other than judicial appointments. For some reason, he takes that issue seriously and fights as he should but can’t take that attitude and apply it to other areas, as we saw when he shamefully retreated on the budget issue. So, it…
Mark Wahlberg, discussing his new movie, “Father Stu,” with Faithwire, tore into cancel culture and, using his movie’s message of grace and redemption to show just how deleterious cancel culture really is. The movie is about boxer-turned-priest Stuart Long. Long moved to Hollywood hoping to start an acting career but things didn’t go as expected; fortunately, however, he met a woman and started attending church with her in order to start dating her, a decision that ultimately led to his not only accepting the Faith but also becoming a man of God. It’s a come to faith, redemption story that’s being…
What words can one use to accurately describe the Biden brood? Senator Ron Johnson found a few that will sound quite accurate to many on the right. Tearing into the Bidens recently, he slammed them as being a brood of “grifters” and “influence peddlers.” Sure sounds accurate, particularly when Hunter is taken into account. Speaking to “Just the News — Not Noise,” Senator Johnson was utterly merciless in the vivid picture he painted of the Bidens, saying: “They knew exactly what they were doing. They were using Vice President Biden’s position and his name to peddle influence, and rake in,…
Many, upon hearing that Elon Musk had used a few of his billions to buy a massive stake in Twitter, expected that the eccentric, pro-free speech billionaire would use his enhanced clout to push change through the social media company and wage a war for free speech. Particularly, they expected that people like Donald Trump would be let back on the platform. As a reminder, Trump was “permanently banned” back in January of 2021, with the platform saying: After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received…
What’s a Democrat to do when caught behaving less than ethically, perhaps even in a corrupt manner? The first instinct is to lie and “deny, deny, deny”, as Psaki has shown us time and time again. But sometimes such a strategy doesn’t work because the evidence is just too damning, too obvious. In situations like that, their fallback strategy emerges: accuse those who have them dead to rights of being “racist.” Predictably, that’s exactly what BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors did when New York Magazine published an article on her recent purchase of an extravagant, $6 million mansion in Los Angeles.…
What do Democrats do when faced with an issue they know that they can’t win on? “Deny, deny, deny.” Or, in the case of Peppermint Patty when dealing with Doocy, get super angry and fire off a snippy denial. At least she’s not “circling back” anymore. Such was the case when Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy decided to confront Psaki about the allegations that are circling about Biden writing a college letter of recommendation for the son of the CEO of BHR, a Chinese oil company with which Hunter Biden did business. Notably, that happened in 2017, when Biden was…
What allegations against Hunter Biden should those who want to hold him accountable pursue? Turns out,it might be that the answer isn’t to look at any of the more salacious allegations against him, tempting as those might be, but to focus on what he’s already being investigated for: tax fraud. That might not be as exciting, but it’s the allegation that Peter Schweizer called a “slam dunk” in an interview with Breitbart News. Speaking on that to Breitbart, Schweizer, along with saying that Hunter would likely take the fall on the tax fraud issue to protect his dad from having…
According to the Florida Highway Patrol in a report obtained by Breitbart, an illegal immigrant named Jose Virgillio Carcamo Elvir was driving drunk in Walton County, Florida on April 3rd. As tends to happen when drunk driving, he caused an accident, plowing into the car in front of him and creating an eight-car pileup. In so doing, the 42-year-old illegal immigrant killed a 72-year-old American citizen and grievously injured three others, killing one many and harming three more despite not even being supposed to be in the country in the first place. Further, it’s not like he was just a…
A flashbang is a type of grenade that, rather than sending out shrapnel or a concussive wave when it explodes, makes a bright flash and loud noise. It’s meant to, with the flash and boom, disorient targets. Well, one Louisiana man decided to use one to defend his truck; worried about thieves in New Orleans trying to steal his vehicle, he rigged a flashbang to explode if anyone tried stealing it. The grenades are meant to just stun and disorient, not kill, so the result was rather more funny than gruesome. Watch what happened here: WATCH: A fed-up resident placed…
Adam Kinzinger, the RINO that presents himself as a “principled” conservative, pretends that he has a national constituency, a group of people that are very much in support of him fighting conservatives rather than Democrats and waging what looks like holy war on the bad orange man. But is there really such a constituency for Kinzinger the RINO? No, not really. Republicans want to elect a winner that will fight for them, not some loser RINO that only ever punches right. So much could be seen when Kinzinger tried appearing on a live stream event at Georgetown University. Under ten…
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem might not be the most rock-ribbed of conservatives (remember when she backed down to the leftists on the transgender sports issue?), but even she has licked her finder, stuck it in the wind, realized which way the wind is blowing, and hopped aboard the anti-CRT train. She, according to a recent report in Fox News, recently decided to sign into law an executive order curtailing critical race theory in South Dakota state schools. As that outlet reports: South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Tuesday signed an executive order she said was aimed at banning the teaching of critical race theory in K-12…
The drug cartels manufacture many of the drugs that flow into the US, but who is it that supplies them with the chemicals needed to make their toxic narcotics? Who is it that sends them the massive quantities of fentanyl that they ship across the southern border? According to DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, who appeared on ABC’s “Nightline” on Tuesday, it’s Red China that’s shipping masses of drugs and chemicals to the Mexican drug cartels. Speaking on that issue, Milgram said: “[W]e do see a large number of young people who are purchasing pills. What we know is that China…
