ER Editor: We have zero idea about Venezuela, but see a lot of media ‘news’ and doubtful questioning of Trump on it. We took our cue from Riccardo Bosi recently when he commented that Venezuela was where election interference had been coming from (although its tentacles spread out much further). A reminder of EO 13848, first passed by Trump way back in September 2018, which deals with that very topic. Everything was anticipated. Bosi also said, wisely, that if we’re being allowed to talk about it in the media, then Venezuela’s already been dealt with, and is being used as…
NEW ORLEANS — Even though a few weeks have passed since Lane Kiffin decided it was time to finally accept the LSU job after being told he would not coach Ole Miss in the playoff, the whole thing still feels awkward. We can sit here and proclaim that the Rebels are better off without Kiffin on the sidelines, which I believe to be true, but we can’t act as though this whole ordeal is normal. To make matters just a tad bit crazier, reporters who cover LSU on a daily basis were inside the ballroom to interview assistant coaches who are also…
(José Niño, Headline USA) Newly authenticated emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s personal accounts reveal the convicted sex offender and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell maintained significantly closer ties to the Clinton Foundation and its personnel than Bill and Hillary Clinton have publicly disclosed, according to a recent report by Dropsite News.The revelations come as the Clintons face mounting pressure from House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, who has threatened contempt proceedings after the couple declined to testify about their relationship with Epstein this week. Since Epstein’s 2019 arrest, which ultimately led to his death in federal custody, both Clintons have worked to…
Just How Demented Is the Demented Dominion? When you build a politics of envy, thievery and lies are your currency. Dec 30, 2025 ELIZABETH NICKSON They hate. They hate hard.

The state of California has decided to throw out its lawsuit against President Donald Trump and his administration after it took in close to $4 billion in federal funding for its high-speed rail project, providing Trump with yet another major legal victory. Court documents reveal that California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office filed a notice on December 23, 2025, to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice on behalf of the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA), which was working to have the money for the project reinstated. “This action reflects the State’s assessment that the federal government is not a reliable,…
Speaking during an interview on conservative cable network Newsmax on Sunday, December 28, Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) argued that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) “should be expelled from the United States” and that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “should be in jail” because of the Somali migrant-connected fraud that has occurred in his state. Further, Rep. Fine revealed that he is preparing and will be pushing a House of Representatives resolution targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar, demanding that she be expelled from the US. His resolution comes alongside President Trump saying much the same thing, telling a crowd in Rocky Mount, NC, “Ilhan…
In a partisan rant delivered across from MS Now, fromely MSNBC, host Chris Hayes, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), gleefully predicts doom for Speaker Mike Johnson, crediting him sarcastically for outlasting Kevin McCarthy amid GOP “cracks” like Epstein file frustrations and retirements. Doubling down, she bashed the Republican-led Congress as the “most unproductive in decades,” ignoring conservative wins on border security and energy independence while blaming “disastrous” bills. Crockett warns of a January 31 shutdown, advising TSA workers to prepare, and claims gerrymandering is a Trump-Johnson plot to “voter-proof” majorities. Starting off the interview, the biased journalist asked the woke congresswoman…
Staff Sergeant Dominick Critelli, a 104-year-old World War II veteran, is making a splash across social media for delivering a mind-blowing performance of the National Anthem on his saxophone before the start of a professional hockey game between the New York Islanders and the New York Rangers. His performance was so impressive it didn’t just earn a round of applause, but an eruption of celebration, including chants of “USA!” that roared across the arena. Critelli, born in 1921, performed the patriotic tune flawlessly, which is impressive for anyone, but is absolutely miraculous coming from a 104-year-old man. Fans of both…
More and more reports of fraud committed primarily by Somali migrants settled in the state continue to pour in from Tim Walz’s Minnesota, and the result from the leftist press has mainly been to insist that any reports of such fraud are racist. Such is what New York Times writer Mara Gay tried to do when she appeared on the MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) program “Morning Joe” on Monday, December 29. Kicking off the discussion by noting that even the generally do-nothing GOP Congress contingent is making hay out of the scandal by investigating fraud, “Morning Joe” host Jonathan Lemire…
Appearing on Newsmax’s “Finnerty” program to discuss the massive migrant-connected fraud issue all over America, as recently and best exemplified by the disastrous state of Somali migrant-connected fraud in Minnesota, Rep.

Randy Fine has been a committed opponent of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), the legislator born in Somalia who routinely uses her platform and position to describe how she is championing Somalia’s cause and to attack America’s history, heritage, and traditions.…
In some absolutely huge news announced by conservative commentator and X personality Benny Johnson on X, it was revealed that Trump Administration Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler has cut off all SBA grants to Minnesota in the wake of the still-emerging Somali migrant fraud scandal. As background, a steady drumbeat of reports out of Tim Walz’s Minnesota have revealed that Somali migrants in the state have ripped off state and federal taxpayers on a grand scale, pilfering $18 billion or more from programs meant to feed hungry kids, provide subsidized daycare to the poor, aid parents of autistic…

Independent journalist Peter Bernegger filed an FEC complaint against Senator Raphael Warnock and treasurer Christopher Koob for alleged “smurfing,” a form of structured money laundering involving small donations totaling $62,111,521. For context, the conservative cited several bizarre patterns in the data, with 4,793 rare surnames repeating 2-3 times, which is statistically impossible for organic donations compared to U.S. Census data. Warnock’s committees accepted 969,936 smurfed transactions ($57M+) and 2,182 additional ($4.7M+), comprising a significant share of their funds. Bernegger accuses ActBlue of identity theft and plans to sue. Starting off his commentary, Bernegger announced his complaint. “FEC complaint sent in…

The actor says he moved to escape Hollywood’s intense culture, paparazzi scrutiny, and the pressures of fame. In interviews, Clooney emphasized a grounded upbringing for his children, away from screens, with chores and family dinners, citing France’s indifference to celebrity and strong child privacy laws as key reasons for the move. Some critics have drawn attention to…

Just as a “country without borders is not a country,” so it is that “the conservative movement also requires borders.” This was the general message delivered by conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro in a December 17 speech at the Heritage Foundation and again the next day in a speech at Turning Point USA’s Amerifest conference. Shapiro’s other main point was more specific: Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson is no conservative and must forthwith be expelled from the conservative movement. Shapiro’s message struck hard. Heritage President Kevin Roberts is backpedaling furiously after he defended Carlson’s decision to interview Nick Fuentes back in…
In a previous article, I outlined two concerns regarding the rise of AI. One deals with the Doom, i.e., safety concerns. No one has challenged me on this aspect, and now, with the rise of AI-induced suicides, protections for children must come into play. The other concern centers on the Gloom: the elimination of jobs and the irrelevance of human ingenuity. Will AI create more and better than human beings? What happens to the workforce if AI can eliminate the next generation of employees? I countered this fear with the creation of ATMs and how their invention did not induce…

How many Chinese nationals with access to America’s university system have to be prosecuted before President Trump shuts off their ability to attend such institutions?It’s a question worth asking given the recurring nature of these individuals being charged by U.S. officials for alleged actions that could harm the security and national interests of the United States.
