How a Luxury Hotel Lined Nancy & Paul Pelosi’s Pockets with COVID Cash. (12/20/2024)

A Napa Valley, California luxury hotel that has for decades failed to turn much of a profit turned into a major windfall generator for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and her husband, Paul, thanks to COVID-19 pandemic emergency relief programs. The Auberge du Soleil hotel, which the Pelosis own a significant stake in, received a $9 million U.S. taxpayer-funded bailout during the pandemic, according to RealClearInvestigations. The COVID relief money disbursed to Auberge du Soleil corresponds with a 2021 ethics report in which former Speaker Pelosi reported that her

The operation at the Crotona Park apartment building resulted in the arrest of seven individuals, facilitated by the detection of an ankle monitor worn by a key suspect, Jarwin Valero-Calderon, a 28-year-old Venezuelan national.

Far-left British premier Sir Keir Starmer‘s choice of Lord Peter Mandelson to serve as Ambassador to the United States is off to a poor start, with President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inner circle taking issue with his past criticism of the America First leader. “This UK govt is special,” wrote the President-elect’s senior campaign advisor, Chris LaCivita, on X. “[R]eplace a professional universally respected Ambo with an absolute moron – he should stay home! SAD!” LaCivita added, noting that Mandelson previously described President-elect Trump as “a danger to the world and




BREAKING: House Passes Funding Bill to Avert Government Shutdown. (12/20/2024)

The House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution funding the federal government through March next year, bringing Congress one step closer to averting a government shutdown. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had to rely heavily on Democrat votes to clear the two-thirds threshold to pass the measure under the suspension of the rules. The bill is a further stripped-down version of the continuing resolution that failed on the floor on Thursday, with around $100 billion in disaster relief attached to the government funding extensions. President-elect Donald J. Trump had pressed

A Pennsylvania woman has been arrested and charged by the state government for registering dead and nonexistent individuals to vote in the 2024 election. The woman allegedly made the fraudulent registration in the course of her work for the New Pennsylvania Project, a Democrat-aligned nonprofit group that claims to work to increase turnout among minority voters. According to Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer, the woman—identified as 38-year-old Jennifer Hill—fraudulently registered four individuals, including her deceased father, to vote in the 2024 election through an app created by the Pennsylvania




Depraved Porn Giant Pulls Out of This American State. (12/20/2024)

Pornhub is set to block Florida residents from accessing its website, which hosts adult content, starting on January 1, 2025, when recently adopted age verification requirements in the state take effect. In March, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed into law a mandate requiring pornographic websites to use third-party technology to anonymously verify an individual’s age before they are allowed to access adult content. The legislation is part of a broader effort to protect minors from explicit online content, requiring users to confirm they are over 18 before entering such sites.

The Pentagon has disclosed a significant increase in the number of U.S. troops stationed in Syria, totaling around 2,000 personnel. This figure exceeds previous counts of approximately 900, as reported to the media over recent months. Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Ryder addressed the discrepancy during a briefing on Thursday, claiming that the previously unreported forces are temporary rotational deployments adapting to mission needs, unlike the core contingent on longer missions. Ryder highlighted that U.S. deployments, including those in Syria, may vary due to diplomatic and operational considerations. These additional




House Govt Funding Fight Unravels, What Happens Next? (12/20/2024)

Last night, a group of 38 House Republicans voted against a continuing resolution (CR) backed by President-elect Donald J. Trump, which cut the entirety of the extraneous add-ons from the first bill but did include several provisions for much-needed disaster relief for the victims of several recent hurricanes and healthcare extenders. Despite the compromise—a big win for conservative House members, with the bill shrinking from over 1,500 pages in its first iteration to just 116 pages in the second version—the CR again failed under a suspension vote, putting Congress back

Britain’s Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to modify campaign finance rules after tech billionaire Elon Musk expressed an interest in Nigel Farage’s Reform Party. Starmer’s spokesman said the ruling Labour Party government is committed to “strengthening the rules” around foreign nationals funding British political parties to “protect democracy.” “The Electoral Commission has said voters should have confidence in the integrity of elections.
