Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is fighting back hard against a classic Swamp smear. On Saturday, the Wall Street Journal published a report alleging that Rep. Luna told associates in the summer of 2024 that she knew President Trump would select Sen. JD Vance as his running mate and that she tipped off popular MAGA influencer Rogan O’Handley (better known as DC Draino) so he could place a winning bet on the prediction market platform Polymarket. The Journal’s claim, based on anonymous sources and a person “familiar with the conversation,” suggested Luna bragged about the tip during a lunch and…

A small village in Oxfordshire, England, has drawn inspiration from the United States and has voted in favour of holding a referendum to secede from the United Kingdom over government plans to dump over a thousand supposed asylum seekers in their midst. The leafy Oxfordshire village of Piddington has found itself at the epicentre of the battle against the Westminster establishment’s open borders ethos after the Home Office recently announced that it would be converting a former Ministry of Defence storage facility on the outskirts of town into an asylum seeker accommodation that is set to house some 1,250 “single adult…
On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said that President Donald Trump’s speech on elections was “trying to undermine America’s confidence in our system,” and “if we have a free and fair election in 2026, he and his allies will lose in a dramatic fashion.” Warner said, “I’m embarrassed that the President of the United States tried to speak to the whole nation with a whole series of falsehoods, accusations, I believe aimed at trying to undermine America’s confidence in our system, and, probably, as a prelude, because he’s — if we have a free…
The sudden firing of a hyped war poster boy exposes the lies, rivalries, and panic behind Ukraine’s triumphalist narrative “Victory,” US president John F. Kennedy once said (paraphrasing the Roman historian Tacitus), “has a hundred fathers, and defeat is an orphan.” To be precise, Kennedy made the comment after a humiliating political and black-ops fiasco, namely the botched attempt to use Cuban exiles to invade and regime-change Fidel Castro’s Cuba, commonly known as the Bay of Pigs disaster.What Kennedy rediscovered so painfully is a sad truth about human nature, that is, our love of taking credit for success even when it’s…

In a historic, first-of-its-kind maneuver designed to bypass the gridlock of activist immigration courts, the Department of Justice has officially activated a powerful, 30-year-old national security weapon to aggressively deport suspected foreign terrorists from American soil. The DOJ filed a petition before the Alien Terrorist Removal Court (ATRC) to remove an as-yet unidentified person accused of being a terrorist. The ATRC was created by Congress in 1996, during the Clinton administration, and has never heard a case in its 30-year history. On Wednesday, federal prosecutors ended three decades of bureaucratic dormancy by filing the first-ever application with the secretive Alien…
Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) called for Canada to “take meaningful action to prevent” catastrophic wildfires that have broken out, leading to millions of Americans throughout the United States dealing with toxic wildfire smoke. In a post on X, Langworthy expressed that American citizens “should not be forced to breathe hazardous air year after year,” noting that “this is no longer a one-time emergency.” “Canada must take meaningful action to prevent these catastrophic wildfires and protect both Canadians and Americans,” Langworthy wrote. “If it refuses to do so, there should be consequences. Our citizens should not be forced to suffer because…
Democrat Senator Mark Warner got fact-checked on live TV about voter ID amid a debate over President Trump’s push for the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act. President Trump on Thursday evening delivered a primetime address to the nation about foreign election interference. The president revealed: – The DHS found approximately 278,000 non-citizens on the voter rolls – China accessed 220 million US voter files and the Deep State withheld that information from Trump – China targeted President Trump during the 2020 election by paying media outlets to write negative stories about him At the end of his speech,…
In March, Wikipedia’s parent organization the Wikimedia Foundation banned Serbian admin Bojan Cvjetković from all affiliated sites alongside numerous others primarily active on the Serbian-language Wikipedia. Cvjetković possessed “checkuser” privileges on the site, allowing him access to confidential user data, which proved controversial as he also engaged in paid editing. In an unprecedented development, Cvjetković’s ban was lifted on Wednesday along with another banned user, allowing them to resume editing. Others banned at the same time included current and former admins on the Serbian Wikipedia site. An in-house community newsletter and Serbian media both suggested the bans were connected to…
