Menendez Behind Bars: Democrat Senator Jailed for Bribery and Corruption

By Ben Kochman | New York Post Bob Menendez is about to spend his “golden” years behind bars. The disgraced New Jersey Democrat surrendered at a federal prison in Pennsylvania on Tuesday to begin his 11-year sentence for a corrupt scheme that earned him the moniker “Gold Bar Bob.” Menendez, 71, arrived at FCI Schuykill — a two-and-a-half-hour drive from his Englewood Cliffs home — at around 9 a.m., following his conviction for selling his powerful Senate post to enrich himself with gold bars, cash, and other bribes. The once-powerful pol was sentenced in January, but was allowed to push off his prison term’s start date after he argued he needed to support his wife, Nadine Menendez, during her trial on similar bribery and corruption charges. He’s also made a bid to score a la...

The Puppet Presidency, Insider Warned Biden Not in Charge

By Joseph E. Schmitz | Commentary, The Daily Signal On June 18, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the concealment of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. This hearing will start to shed a congressional light on the apparent misuse of the presidential autopen. According to President Donald Trump’s June 4, memorandum, “This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.” The chief speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, Kenneth Khachigian, published an article on May 30 in The Wall Street Journal, which concludes that Americans have been “cynically hoodwinked,” so much so that “Mr. Biden’s using an autopen”—assuming he actually knew about it—“and Attorney General [Merrick] Garland’s declining to release the ...

Speaking out or stepping over? Jury hits Lindell with $2.3M defamation verdict

By Natalie Neysa Alund and Melina Khan | USA Today A federal jury has found MyPillow founder Mike Lindell liable for defaming a former Colorado voting system executive after the 2020 presidential election. The Denver-based jury determined on June 16 that Lindell made "baseless conspiracy theories claiming election fraud in the 2020 election" and slandered Eric Coomer, a former director at Dominion Voting Systems, a North American company that makes and sells voting machines and tabulators. Coomer filed the suit in the District of Colorado in May 2022, claiming Lindell and two of his companies − MyPillow and FrankSpeech − helped spread a conspiracy theory that he rigged the election against President Donald Trump. According to the 67-page suit obtained b...

Progressive Pundits Push False Narrative After Tragedy

By Michael Schwarz | Commentary, The Western Journal Establishment elites love cheap labor. They always have. Thus, the establishment media routinely gaslights readers and viewers about illegal immigration, a prime source of cheap labor. Now and then, however, even the establishment media cannot help accidentally telling the truth. On Sunday, for instance, in the opening paragraph of a story meant to evoke pathos for the “victims” of last week’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid on the Glenn Valley Foods meat packing plant in Omaha, Nebraska, which netted 76 illegal immigrants, NBC News inadvertently undermined the leftist establishment’s entire immigration narrative. “Every seat in the waiting area of Glenn Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applicati...

Garbo: Immigration policy should serve America, not exploit it

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Let’s set the record straight. Immigration is not a right. Not under the U.S. Constitution. Not under international law. Not by any moral, legal, or civil standard.  It is a privilege, and one granted by a sovereign nation to those who respect its laws, value its principles, and are willing to contribute to its future.  That privilege, once respected and coveted as one of the greatest honors in the world, is now under relentless attack - distorted by entitlement, corrupted by politics, and weaponized by those who seek to benefit without belonging. To understand this clearly, let’s use a comparison everyone can relate to: driving a car. The Driving Analogy Driving isn’t a right. It’s a regulated privilege. I...

Fake IDs, Mail-In Ballots and the CCP: New FBI Files Spark Questions

By John Solomon | Just the News FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening turned over to Congress an intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver's licenses to carry out a scheme to hijack the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots for Democrat Joe Biden. The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News. The new documents were turned over to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who had first raised concerns to t...

By STEVE KARNOWSKI, OBED LAMY, MIKE BALSAMO, and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER | ASSOCIATED PRESS BELLE PLAINE, Minn. (AP) — The man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another crawled to officers in surrender Sunday after they located him in the woods near his home, bringing an end to a massive, nearly two-day search that put the entire state on edge.

He is accused of posing as a police officer and fatally shooting former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home early Saturday in the northern Minneapolis suburbs.

Dr. Krannawitter: The Declaration—not slogans—is our anti-king document

By Thomas L. Krannawitter, Ph.D. | Commentary, Substack The American Revolution launched the greatest anti-king and anti-slavery movements, at the same time, and for the same principled reasons. Let me see if I understand: Progressives who insist on “No Kings” demand presidents—and an entire federal government apparatus—be constrained by the Constitution progressives have spent decades mocking, undermining, and ignoring? And the same progressives who warn against monarchical power happily support millions of unelected, unionized bureaucrats issuing and enforcing their own “regulations” that have binding power of law over citizens, even though regulations are not laws? No Kings Remember, the United States was born out of a fiery rebellion against a king and a d...

‘No Kings’ backlash: Trump deploys ICE to sanctuary strongholds

By Heather Willard | Fox31 DENVER (KDVR) — Denver was once again in President Donald Trump’s sights as he directed federal immigration officers to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities following large-scale protests across the U.S. Trump, in a social media post, called on U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials “to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.” The president said that ICE officers are harassed and threatened by “Radical Democrat Politicians,” and directed ICE agents to “detain and deport” undocumented immigrants in America’s largest cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City. Denver has been included among the so-called “sanctuary ci...

Marines confront civilian in LA during DHS deployment—Northern Command backs authority

By Joe Saunders | Western Journal Marines on duty guarding a federal facility in Los Angeles on Friday briefly detained a man who later said he’d tried to go under a yellow boundary tape and was asked to halt, according to news reports. While the man apparently posed no threat and was later released, according to Reuters, the incident did prompt the arm of the Defense Department in charge of security for the continental United States to confirm the Marines were acting under appropriate legal authority in the first known detention related to their Los Angeles deployment. Active duty forces “may temporarily detain an individual in specific circumstances,” a spokesperson for U.S Northern Command told Reuters. A video of the incident from Reuters is below: https://twitter....
