Nebraska Democrat Cindy Burbank defeated anti-abortion pastor Bill Forbes in the state’s Senate primary, giving independent Dan Osborn a clearer path against Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) in November. Burbank was bolstered by some late spending from the state’s Democratic Party, which is backing Osborn in the Republican-heavy state. She’s expected to drop out of the race following her primary victory Tuesday. “William Forbes is not running to serve Nebraskans. He is running to trick voters,” Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb said in March. “The Nebraska Democratic Party made a deliberate, principled decision not to field a candidate in the…

Russia has long raised concerns about Pentagon-backed biological laboratories in Ukraine and elsewhere, suggesting they are involved in military research The US has launched a probe into more than 120 American-funded biological labs abroad, including in Ukraine, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told the New York Post on Monday.Russia has consistently raised concerns about Pentagon-backed biological labs worldwide, particularly near its borders and in Ukraine, alleging that they are involved in bioweapons research.Gabbard said that the move aims to halt risky virus experiments and follows President Donald Trump’s order restricting federal funding for “gain-of-function” research – studies that examine…

A Bolivian court on Monday held socialist ex-president Evo Morales in contempt and ordered his arrest after he failed to appear in court for his trial on accusations of pedophilia. Morales is a failed wannabe socialist dictator that ruled Bolivia between 2006 and 2019, extending his rule beyond the nation’s constitutional two-term limits by using dubious legal loopholes. Morales voluntary resigned from the presidency in late 2019 and fled to Mexico after evidence surfaced of massive fraud in that year’s sham elections in which he sought to continue ruling for an unconstitutional fourth term. He eventually returned to Bolivia during the…

Markwayne Mullin’s Department of Homeland Security is exposing fraud throughout the huge Optional Practical Training (OPT) program that feeds many white-collar migrants into the careers sought by U.S. graduates. “We have identified over 10,000 foreign students who claim to be working for highly suspect employers, and that’s just among the top 25 OPT employers,” said Todd Lyons, the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, which oversees the OPT program. “This is only the tip of the iceberg,” he added, without taking questions at a press conference on Tuesday morning. In 2024, the program issued more than 400,000…

Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson went after slain conservative icon Charlie Kirk while roasting fellow comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, saying, “Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat.” “Tony Hinchcliffe is here, looking like both a child molester and the doll they give the child to show where he touched them,” Davidson said during Netflix’s The Roast of Kevin Hart, which steamed live on Sunday. “Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat,” Davidson continued, gruesomely alluding to the Turning…

A group of House Republicans discussed pushing to pass a new party-line bill before the summer recess begins in closed-door meetings Tuesday, according to five people granted anonymity to describe the private conversations. The bill would be in addition to the immigration enforcement bill now moving through the GOP-controlled Senate under the filibuster-skirting budget reconciliation process. The agenda for such a bill — the third reconciliation measure since the Republican trifecta began last year — is unsettled but could include a variety of conservative policy initiatives. Asked if Republicans can meet a summer timeline for the legislation, Speaker Mike Johnson…

The far-left New York Times published a column accusing Israel of training dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. The New York Times published this even after admitting, “There is no evidence that Israeli leaders order rapes.” Oh. No evidence? Really? So much for editorial standards. Oddly enough, there’s a ton of evidence around this new report about the sexual barbarism committed by Hamas on October  7, but the New York Times was not only not interested in reporting on that, the New York Times is also obviously (and without evidence) publishing Hamas dog-rape lies as “news” to blunt the effect of…

Pressure is mounting on the House of Representatives to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which would prohibit institutional investors from buying single family American homes. The legislation passed the U.S. Senate in March by an 89-10 vote, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) can put the bill on the House floor with suspension of the rules, which requires two-thirds support. Considering it had nearly 90 percent support in the Senate, the bill would likely exceed the threshold to suspend the rules, which requires 284 members’ support, given five vacancies. President Donald Trump called for the passage of…

Monday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin said Republican-led redistricting efforts were “about diluting the black vote.” Co-host Ana Navarro said, “The reason this is happening is because Trump knows he’s going to lose the House, which means that there will finally be oversight and accountability of the abuses of power by his misadministration, and that is why he’s trying to change the rules in the middle of the game and give himself more Republican districts, and it’s going to be a backlash because the voters don’t have to take it and are not going to take it. And…

House Republican Study Committee Chair August Pfluger said Tuesday he “fully expect[s]” Congress to have completed work on a sweeping party-line policy package by August recess. “The speaker is fully briefed on our ideas,” the Texas Republican said in an interview of the RSC’s framework for a budget reconciliation bill, which would follow the GOP’s tax and spending megabill last year and the immigration enforcement funding legislation President Donald Trump wants on his desk by June 1. “We are starting our meetings in earnest this week and I expect that we’re going to have some very good discussions.” Pfluger added…
