This week, MSNBC's Donny Deutsch called for the US military "to intervene to prevent Trump's election this November. With polls showing that voters are becoming even more favorable toward Trump after his historic, first ever, felony conviction of a former president the situation couldn't be more dire. We need the brave leaders of our nation's elite armed forces to publicly urge voters to opt for reelecting President Biden." Deutsch contrasted "the noble service rendered by Biden heroically driving a tank in the Vietnam War to Donald Trump's 'medical exemption' from active duty. On the one hand, we have a man...

Joe Biden went to Pointe du Hoc in Normandy, France, on Friday, the famous site where Army Rangers scaled the high cliffs to take out the German artillery in an incredibly brave effort on D-Day, 80 years ago. Biden shuffled in, with someone walking with him, seemingly confused about where to go at one point. Biden wanted to have a "Ronald Reagan" moment, the inspiring moment when he spoke about the "boys of Pointe du Hoc." But he's Joe Biden so, of course, he had to somehow make it about himself and his agenda. He used it to talk about...

Distracted and confused—that’s exactly how the regime wants the American people. When everyone’s attention is scattered in a hundred different directions, it’s much easier for them to roll out their sweeping plots. Imagine standing in a room filled with TVs, each blasting a different message, and you’re trying to make sense of it all. Meanwhile, the powers that be are quietly making epic chess moves that will alter our lives and change the country—and the world—forever. We’ve said it a thousand times: the regime will stop at nothing to hold onto power. Nothing. That could mean unleashing a so-called “pandemic”—courtesy...

Recently, Steve Bannon had Revolver’s own Darren Beattie on the War Room show, and together they exposed Nikki Haley’s latest 2024 plot. That’s right, you thought she had slithered away, didn’t you? Nope. It turns out she’s just been lying in wait, ready to pounce. Revolver: Well, if you thought you had heard the last of Nikki Haley after she slithered out of the campaign, tired of being humiliated by the American people over and over, you were sadly mistaken. She’s back, or better yet, according to Revolver’s Darren Beattie, she never actually left. She’s just regrouping for her next...

When your enemy’s program fails, just as you predicted, it can sometimes be a moment of pride, especially when you were the only one who called it from the beginning. The story of the temporary pier is not such an example. Virtually every onlooker to the right of the far Left recognized from the start that the temporary pier announced in Joe Biden’s State of Disunion address would be a failure. It didn’t take any great analysis or inside knowledge to know that this was an awful idea. But few suspected it would be quite as disastrous as it turned...

The United States Department of Justice has charged a Chinese citizen for using a drone to capture images of a Virginia shipyard engaged in the construction of US Navy nuclear submarines. The case, reported by Wired magazine, represents uncharted territory within legal proceedings. It is ‘the first case of its kind’ under a long-standing law dating back to World War II, which prohibits the aerial documentation of crucial military installations. The accused, Fengyun Shi, a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, faces six Espionage Act misdemeanors. The charges stem from an incident on January 5, 2024, when Shi, on...

80 Years Ago Today June 4, 1944: The U.S. Fifth Army Liberated Rome. Two days later,June 6, 1944: The Normandy D-Day invasion by the Allies begins, including the United State. One week later,June 13, 1944: The "Pacific D-Day", Battle of Saipan, begins. This is the naval bombardment, followed by invasion on June 15, involving 535 ships with 127,000 troops. All 3 were major military engagements in which the U.S. was a major participant in (especially the Battle of Saipan). All were going on at practically the same time, and different parts of the world. All three were victories.

The guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump reached by a Manhattan jury on Thursday could ultimately be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, legal experts said. Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an unprecedented verdict against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee just months before the 2024 election. The verdict is likely to be appealed by Trump’s legal team, however, and experts say the final decision in Trump’s hush-money trial could come down to a ruling from the highest court in the land. Attorney Roger Severino, who is the vice president of Domestic Policy...

Just recently, the National Sheriffs Association claimed there are two million terrorists inside the USA. Please understand all it took was 2,000 terrorists on October 7th to invade Israel and murder, rape, burn, and behead 1,200 innocent souls. Can you imagine what damage and death two million terrorists could do inside the USA? That’s an army bigger than our entire combined armed forces (we have 1.3 million active-duty military). That’s an army bigger than our entire combined police force in the USA (we have 800,000 combined police officers). I’ve written many commentaries warning what they might have planned for America....

Against the backdrop of continuing Russian advances, some Western leaders have started to advocate missile strikes inside Russian territory, from NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg up to chief warmonger, former British Premier Boris Johnson: Now, some European neighboring countries have started preparing to introduce their troops into Ukraine in case of strategic Russian advances in Eastern Ukraine. The Baltic states and Poland have warned Germany that they could send troops to Ukraine if the situation gets noticeably worse for Kiev due to its allies being reluctant to supply it with weapons.

Talk to anyone in my business and they'll all say the same thing: No matter how long you write stories and put them in the newspaper, you are never really sure which ones are going to strike a nerve.What you think might be a Pulitzer-quality epic might draw only a nice call from Mom, while a simple tale tossed off on deadline causes an uproar, or an avalanche of praise. One legendary former investigative reporter at this paper wrote scores of stories that changed laws and saved lives, yet never did he get more mail than when he wrote about...
