Former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) took to X the day after Christmas to bash former President Donald Trump, claiming that Christians who support him “don’t understand” their faith.
“I’m going to go out on a NOT limb here: this man is not a Christian,” Kinzinger posted Tuesday, in response to Trump’s Truth Social Christmas message in which he told corrupt members of the “swamp” to “rot in hell.” [Tweet]
Kinzinger went on to assert, “If you are a Christian who supports him you don’t understand your own religion.”
“Trump is weak, meager, smelly, victim-ey, belly-achey, but he ain’t a Christian and he’s not ‘Gods man,'” the Trump critic added.
In Texas, a hunter found out that God not only answers prayers, but sometimes, He might even answer in an extraordinary way.
In a viral video making the rounds on social media, a hunter in Texas is seen giving his testimony on how God answered his prayer by getting a closer look at a bald eagle.
It all started when the hunter went out to hunt near a pond and spotted an eagle swooping down to catch a fish.
The man in the video then prayed, “Lord, I sure would like to get close to that eagle because sometimes I feel like you don’t always hear me
Maine has become the center of national attention after its Secretary of State, Sheena Bellows, ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from the state’s presidential ballot. (snip) In response to Bellows’ ruling, Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign spokesman, issued a fiery statement condemning the action as a partisan effort to sway the upcoming election:
The Maine Secretary of State is a former ACLU attorney, a virulent leftist and a hyper-partisan Biden-supporting Democrat who has decided to interfere in the presidential election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden.
We are witnessing, in real-time, the attempted theft of an election and the disenfranchisement of the American voter.
At the same time the Colorado Republican Party files a petition to the United States Supreme Court to overturn a disqualification ruling issued by the Colorado Supreme Court {link}, a challenge that will result in President Trump appearing on the Colorado ballot {link}, the Democrat Maine Secretary of State has ruled by fiat that Trump should be disqualified.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows issued a public statement [SEE HERE] declaring that under her independent determination, President Trump should be disqualified.N
Hundreds of pro-Palestine demonstrators marched at Times Square and then in a walk from Zuccotti Park to the World Trade Center, continuing protests in a week where anti-Israel marchers have shut down traffic at JFK Airport.
Chants of 'Biden you will see, Palestine will be free' and 'Israel bombs, USA pays, how many kids did you kill today?' was part of the rhetoric used by the protesters.
Effigies representing children killed in Gaza were seen after people took part in silent procession which was organized partly by elderly Jewish groups through Midtown Manhattan earlier Thursday.
Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) on Thursday announced that his home was “swatted” this week — a term used to describe an individual or individuals issuing a false report to emergency responders, prompting them to go to the targeted location.
“Last night, while at dinner with my wife, cowards ‘swatted’ my home in Naples,” Scott said on X, formally known as Twitter. “These criminals wasted the time & resources of our law enforcement in a sick attempt to terrorize my family.” “Ann & I want to thank @NaplesPolice & @CollierSheriff for all they do to keep us safe,” Scott added: (X)
An LA-based company, Channel 1, claims it will become the first news network to utilize AI-generated news anchors starting next year.
The Daily Mail reports that Channel 1, an LA-based news channel hoping to launch in the near future, is planning to introduce AI news anchors. These AI-generated anchors, set to debut as early as February on ad-supported streaming platforms like Crackle, Tubi, and Pluto, represent a significant shift in news broadcasting. The AI anchors are created using a blend of digital doubles and animated faces, designed to mimic real human behavior and expressions. However, despite their naturalistic hand gestures, a closer examination reveals a number of irregularities

Joe Biden has been taking a lot of vacation lately, even more so than usual.
He was at Camp David over Christmas with members of his extended family, including his son Hunter. (X) That comes after Hunter Biden defied a subpoena from the House and essentially gave them the finger from the steps of the Capitol, and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre admitted Joe Biden knew about Hunter's statement ahead of time. As I wrote, this raised the question of possible obstruction by Joe Biden and raised another possible impeachable offense. Now, the House Oversight Committee is also looking into that. Hunter had been with Joe in Wilmington, Delaware,
“The Biden administration is importing millions of third-world immigrants to live here illegally, and at the same time telling them that white people are the source of their problems. How’s that going to work out in the end?” Tucker Carlson said.
More than 10 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age men from Africa, Middle East and Latin America have invaded the US since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021.
The illegal aliens are being told by the Democrat-media complex that white people – specifically white men – are the world’s problems.

If you find yourself on the same side as the cast members of ABC’s The View, they will bend over backwards to defend you (as NewsBusters’ 2023 retrospective showed). But if you find yourself opposing them, they will launch some of the most racist, bigoted, and hateful attacks on television against you. They will even support your death. And as tensions in America ratcheted up in 2023, so did their naked hatred.
Their contempt for Republicans, pro-lifers, and white people flared on air often. So it was difficult to narrow things down.
Maine has become the second state to disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot, citing the 14th Amendment's ban on anyone who engaged in insurrection holding office.
The decision by Maine's secretary of state, Shanna Bellows, follows a similar conclusion made by Colorado's Supreme Court.
Trump is considered likely to appeal the decision, as he will in Colorado. Bellows, a Democrat, concluded that Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in 2024, incited an insurrection when he spread false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election and then
Mexican authorities stood down any efforts to contain a new migrant caravan that embarked this week from the southern part of Mexico. Authorities are currently escorting the groups and providing crowd control.
Calling themselves the Poverty Exodus (Exodo de la Pobreza), the caravan, which is made up of more than 6,000 migrants, left the city of Tapachula, Chiapas, on Christmas Eve. The caravan is making its way north. In various parts of the journey, the migrants waved a banner with the caravan’s name and carried a white cross. Members of the group made public claims that their goal was to reach the United States for economic reasons.
A University of Wisconsin chancellor was fired from his position Wednesday after it was revealed that he’d made and distributed pornography with his wife.
UW-La Crosse chancellor Joe Gow, 63, was fired Wednesday in a unanimous vote by colleagues, following revelations that he’d been filming and releasing homemade pornography with his wife, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The couple apparently released videos under the moniker “Sexy Happy Couple” on various adult websites, and run social media accounts called “Sexy Healthy Cooking” in which they make food with porn stars.

MADISON, Wis. — Former University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow said Thursday that the school’s governing board fired him because members were uncomfortable with him and his wife producing and appearing in pornographic videos.
The Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents, which oversees UW-Madison, UW-La Crosse and 11 other regional campuses, voted unanimously during a hastily convened closed meeting Wednesday evening to fire Gow.
After the vote, Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman and regents President Karen Walsh issued statements saying the regents had learned of specific conduct by Gow that subjected the university to “significant reputational harm.”
A transgender activist who had city funding stripped from Canada's oldest rape shelter has been awarded a medal as a 'champion of diversity'.
Morgane Oger, a transgender woman, was given a Meritorious Service Medal by Canadian Governor-General Mary Simon on December 7. (snip) Oger was at the time spearheading an effort to strip Vancouver Rape Relief of city funding because it refused to shelter transgender women. Vancouver City Council in March 2019 pulled its CAN$34,000 a year grant from 2020 unless the shelter, the oldest in Canada that began in 1974, changed its policy.
An interesting set of details amid a few reports on Ukraine, with one very interesting White House announcement under section 621 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA). First, as previously discussed within the year-end National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) there was a supplemental addition of $300 million more for Ukraine.
(VIA CBS) – The Biden administration Wednesday announced a $250 million military assistance package for Ukraine.
The aid package — the final of 2023 — will include arms and equipment, including air defense munitions, anti-armor munitions, ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems, and more than 15 million rounds of small arms ammunition,

Aside from the occasional runs across the bridge in college to Windsor to sneak back cases of real Canada Labatt beer, my experience with our neighbor to the north has been very limited. But I have watched with everyone else as Justin Trudeau and his government have indulged in a veritable orgy of progressive policies that seem to be designed to turn Canada into a horrible hybrid of Airstrip One and the city in "Logan's Run."
One of those policies has been the implementation of euthanasia. This particular bit of nastiness has been chronicled elsewhere on these and other pages, but it bears revisiting
Florida Sen. Rick Scott’s home in Naples was swatted Wednesday night, according to Naples Police spokesperson Lt. Bryan McGinn.
Scott posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Thursday morning, stating: “Last night, while at dinner with my wife, cowards ‘swatted’ my home in Naples. These criminals wasted the time & resources of our law enforcement in a sick attempt to terrorize my family.”
Swatting is a prank call made to authorities with the express purpose of luring them to a location – usually a home – where they are led to believe a horrific crime has been committed or is in progress. This results in a forceful response from local police or

In 1898, the United States government acquired Puerto Rico through the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Spanish-American War. This was only one year after Spain had granted the island the power to self-govern. But after Spain lost the war, they ceded control of Puerto Rico.
At the time, Puerto Rico's population was just under 1 million. Most were living in poverty. It wasn't uncommon for families to spend the majority of their income on food. Many people worked for only cents per day harvesting sugarcane. Others owned farms or worked inland on coffee and tobacco fields.
"Imagine that about 90% of your income is spent on food, and you're still malnourished.
The Colorado secretary of state will include former President Donald Trump on the 2024 Colorado primary ballot after Republicans filed an appeal to the Supreme Court.
On Wednesday, the Colorado GOP filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court after the state Supreme Court's decision to remove Trump from the primary ballot.
Following the appeal, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that she will include Trump on the primary ballot on the Jan. 5 certification deadline, unless the U.S. Supreme Court affirms the lower court's ruling or declines to take up the case.
Ousted University of Pennsylvania chairman Scott Bok is arguing that donors should not get a say in school functions after several wealthy businessmen withdrew their donations to the college over its handling of antisemitic incidents on campus.
“I think donors are absolutely free to give to whatever organizations they want or not to, and to withhold for any reason they choose to,” he told Bloomberg TV.
“But they are not shareholders so I don’t think they should have a particularly loud voice on how universities are run.”
Nikki Haley might want to skip New Hampshire town halls for a while.
After the former South Carolina governor spent Thursday morning explaining why she didn’t mention slavery as a chief cause of the Civil War at an event the previous evening, she was called on the carpet in the afternoon by a 9-year-old boy who questioned her decision to serve in President Donald Trump’s administration.
Haley, 51, spent 23 months as US ambassador to the United Nations during the 45th president’s tenure and has maintained that the 77-year-old was the right leader for the time.
At first glance, Israel appears to have no choice but to buckle under U.S. pressure. After all she needs the resupply of munitions and the protection of the U.S. veto at the United Nations Security Council.
The New York Times reports The U.S. wants Israel to use elite forces to rescue hostages and kill Hamas leaders.
“Mr. Biden wants Israel to switch to more precise tactics within three weeks, or soon thereafter. The officials asked for anonymity to discuss the president’s thinking.
Oregon state legislators, radio show hosts and GOP representatives are suing government officials to put an end to the state’s censorship of so-called “false election information.”
According to a First Amendment lawsuit against Democrat Gov. Tina Kotek, Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade and Elections Director Molly Woon, Oregon’s election officials are negotiating deals with censorship vendors to silence “criticism of its election system” through a contract to “identify and mitigate” purported “MDM,” purported misinformation, disinformation and malinformation.
In late December 2020, President Trump made a call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to look at some of the items that were uncovered by his auditor.
There was plenty of evidence for a competent auditor or any man of integrity to know that the election was uncertifiable.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger’s office secretly recorded the phone call with President Trump, then lied about its contents later when they leaked it to the far-left Washington Post.
Raffensperger’s office ran to the Washington Post and leaked a fraudulent transcript of the call.
It seems that every few weeks, we're treated to the findings of a poll showing that the nation might be in trouble when the younger generation takes control. In this instance, an alarming percentage of young adults have a favorable view toward Osama Bin Laden, who masterminded the 9/11 terrorist attacks.The Daily Mail published the results of a survey revealing how various groups of Americans view the terrorist leader, who was killed by U.S. forces in 2011.
One in five young Americans has a positive view of 9/11 mastermind and Al Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden, according to disturbing results of a DailyMail.com poll.
The newly elected Democrat mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, celebrated the removal of a Confederate statue in the city, which was officially gone before noon Wednesday.
Democrat Mayor Donna Deegan, who won her mayoral bid in May, celebrated the removal of the statue in Springfield Park, formally known as Confederate Park. The monument in question, “In Memory of Our Women of the Southland,” depicts a mother with her two children at her side, looking down at a book upon her lap. It was erected in October 1915.
There is no group more destructive than Democrats with even a whiff of power. They are Hitler overdosing on caffeine when it comes energetically imposing their will on people. It’s hard to care, honestly, when idiotic voters elect these people, but it is Republicans who put up such worthless candidates against horrible people and can’t message their way out of a wet paper bag. That’s one of the lessons of the 2022 election, and a bunch of other lessons are about to go into effect after the first of January as what Democrats are forcing on people are implemented.
The numbers don’t lie, COVID and flu cases are on the rise dramatically across the US. Sadly, but not surprisingly, the CDC is using these rising flu and COVID numbers to push Americans to get more and more jabs. Whether it’s the flu “vaccine,” or the latest version of the disastrous COVID “vaccine,” the CDC and big pharma’s answer to any question is always the same – more jabs.
And no wonder, these “vaccines” are big business for big pharma.
The United States, Israel, and other democracies have a huge stake in the success of the Iranian people to rid themselves of Islamic tyranny. This is not just a matter of geopolitical concern but a moral imperative rooted in the principles of democracy, human rights, and global stability. As I have continuously stated, the mullahs are highly vulnerable. And it is the Iranian people who continuously find themselves at the forefront of this enduring quest for freedom and justice.

Delta Employee Over 'Misgendering' Is
Identified, and Hoo Boy replies
I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm not surprised at all, and you won't be either. The transgender individual who tried to accuse a Delta Airlines employee of "misgendering" him in a now-viral video has been identified as trans activist and "influencer" Tommy Dorfman. The absurdity doesn't stop there either.
As RedState reported, the previously unidentified man confronted a Delta Airlines gate agent, claiming he had been purposely "misgendered" multiple times. After a brief back and forth between the two, the gate agent threatened to have him escorted out of the building with a "make my day" style threat about it being three days before Christmas. Dorfman quickly backed down,
Nearly a quarter of a million total encounters were reported on the southern border in November, breaking the record for the month amid an ongoing illegal immigration crisis.
A full 242,418 enforcement encounters were reported on the southern border in November of fiscal year (FY) 2024 while a total of 308,728 encounters were reported by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) nationwide during the month.The record-breaking figure was released just two days before Christmas Eve, prompting outrage from Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Mark Green,
Freed Israeli hostage Mia Schem has broken her silence to share a harrowing account of captivity in Gaza, following her release at the end of last month.
Schem, 21, spent 54 days as a prisoner in the Palestinian enclave after being shot and taken hostage at the Nova festival massacre in southern Israel on October 7, before finally being released as part of a ceasefire and swap on November 30.
In her first interview since her release, she told Israeli outlet Channel 13 'I wanted to project the real situation about the people living in Gaza, who they really are and about what I've been through over there.'
Special Counsel Jack Smith's office asked a federal judge Wednesday to prevent former President Donald Trump from introducing evidence at his Jan. 6 criminal trial concerning selective prosecution and security failures that occurred at the Capitol or making arguments his actions were protected by the First Amendment, suggesting such a defense amounted to politics.
Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams issued an executive order on Wednesday, requesting that buses transporting migrants into the city arrive only between 8:30 a.m. and noon on weekdays at one drop off site. "We cannot allow buses with people needing our help to arrive without warning at any hour of day and night," Adams said during a virtual news conference. "This not only prevents us from providing assistance in an orderly way, it puts those who have already suffered so much in danger."
We often hear the phrase, 'Israeli-Palestinian conflict' everywhere - in the media, from Israeli officials, written in articles, repeated by foreign policy think tanks, and U.S. politicians. It is ubiquitous.
They are all incorrect. A 'conflict' indicates two equal sides laying credible claim over a disputed issue. Thus, the false phrase equates Jews with terrorists and terrorist supporters. And, the incorrect saying plays into revisionist history in an antisemitic fashion.
Terrorists and their supporters claim that Israel 'stole' 'Palestine.'
But 'Palestine' was nothing more than a colonizer's term for Judea from 136 A.D. - to when Jews liberated Israel in 1948 from British occupiers.
New testing shows that some popular electric vehicles fall short of their government-estimated driving ranges, underscoring anxiety Americans have about the range of electric vehicles. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency range estimates listed on electric vehicle window stickers and at fueleconomy.gov don't have separate city and highway ranges, as they do with conventional cars and hybrids. Consumer Reports, the nonprofit research, testing, and consumer advocacy organization, put electric vehicles to the test.
In a letter from Dec. 19, every Democrat from Minnesota’s congressional delegation asked the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to prioritize aid to Somalia.
Citing recent flooding and torrential rains in Somalia, the Democrats asked USAID to “keep aid to Somalia at the forefront of your operations.”
By now, most of us have seen the reluctant reporting from media outlets checking in with vehicle dealerships around the United States. Car lots are filled with electric vehicles, many with their original sales prices reduced. Most people simply aren’t interested in purchasing an EV despite any mandates being issued by state governments or the White House. There are various reasons for this, including the high cost of these vehicles (despite generous, taxpayer-funded rebates) and the uncertainty of there being sufficient charging stations to keep them running. Now Ford has seemingly woken up to the reality of the situation. In 2024, they will be drastically cutting their production

Democrats in Pennsylvania — President Biden's birthplace — are flipping to the Republican Party in droves, according to the swing state's recent voter registration data. Pennsylvania holds crucial importance for Biden's reelection bid. He notably hailed Philadelphia campaign donors as the "backbone" of his presidential campaign earlier this year.
As of Dec. 18, 35,589 Democrats reregistered as Republicans in the state so far this year; in contrast, 15,622 Republicans switched to the Democratic Party, data from the state department shows.
The state trend was first reported Tuesday by Newsweek.
When you have seasoned criminals running the legislative process, it should come as no surprise that you get a government saturated with theft, money laundering, and corruption.
Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal published a new report, revealing this:
Electric-vehicle sales growth hit a speed bump in the U.S. this year, and the impact is being felt throughout the industry.
The authors of the article suggest that the “relatively high prices” of E.V.s might have something to do with the people’s “hesitancy” to make the switch—because apparently the average $54k for an E.V. (which is $5k more than the average gas vehicle) is only a “relatively high” cost for a car. They also noted
The Golden State’s leftist Democrat-dominated legislature loves to grandstand as a champion of the downtrodden and the working poor, even if the policies they enact end up hurting those people the most. That’s certainly the case with the state’s minimum wage hike, which is set to hit in 2024.
The state will raise its overall mandated minimum-wage rate from $16 an hour to $16.50 an hour overall, starting in 2024. But some industries will get an even bigger wage shock: fast-food minimum wages go up to $20 an hour starting in April. Meanwhile, workers in the health care industry will
New York Times columnist and pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson is saying that Donald Trump is now seen as the ‘return to normalcy’ candidate.
This is a shocking turn of events for anyone who has been following political news for the last several years. When Trump won in 2016, liberals all over the country started saying “this is not normal.” It became a common talking point.
Then in 2020, Democrats claimed that Biden would be the ‘return to normalcy’ candidate. Everyone can see how that worked out.

Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has been slammed for refusing to say that slavery was the main cause of the Civil War.
Haley, the 51-year-old former governor for South Carolina, blundered her way through the question at town hall debate in Berlin, New Hampshire, on Wednesday night.
The former UN representative jokingly told the audience member 'well, don't come with an easy question', before claiming that the Civil War was fought for freedom and ideological differences in how governments ought to work.
