/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump had a priceless reaction Friday night after a crew of journalists were honored at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for their reporting on the commander-in-chief’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump smiled and laughed as the group of reporters from the Wall Street Journal were given the Katharine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability for their investigative report on a birthday card and drawing purportedly made by the president and given to the notorious sex criminal.

At one point, the president appeared to mouth, “I don’t know,” as he jokingly threw his hands in the air, approaching the moment with good humor. (Read more from “President Trump’s Reaction to WSJ Reporters Winning Award for Epstein Coverage He Sued Over” HERE)

‘Biohacker’ Bryan Johnson Claims He Cloned Himself as a Newborn to Harvest Organs

/8 Comments/in , , /by

Tech entrepreneur turned “biohacker” Bryan Johnson revealed the latest development in his quest for eternal youth — claiming he cloned himself as a newborn baby to harvest the organs.

Johnson, who was recently diagnosed with an incurable disease, called his science fiction-sounding organ growing plan a “frontier of new paths” to reverse aging.

“I just cloned myself…as a newborn,” Johnson, 48, wrote on X on Tuesday. “This may be scary to some people…a dystopian future.”

“But for others, they will see it as the inevitable future of health,” added Johnson, who already uses blood transfusions from his “blood boy” teenage son.

While Johnson said this “baby-Bryan” will live in a petri dish for now, he claims the clone will be able to “test therapies on the clone, grow organs for transplantation, develop new treatments,” and “inject young cells.” (Read more from “‘Biohacker’ Bryan Johnson Claims He Cloned Himself as a Newborn to Harvest Organs” HERE)

New Insider Trading Ban Barely Scratches The Surface As Congress Tries To Appease Americans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The new insider trading ban legislation passed by the House stops short of a comprehensive ban on an issue many Americans have expressed concern about.

The Stop Insider Trading Act, passed by the House on Wednesday with a vote of 232-198, had more than a dozen Democrats join Republicans in support.

Public support for banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks while in office has grown after years of scrutiny over lawmakers’ well-timed trades and soaring investment portfolios. However, the legislation advanced by the House falls well short of the sweeping ban sought by many advocates that would target selling stocks and limit federal officials more broadly.

Introduced by Republican Wisconsin Rep. Bryan Steil, the bill would prohibit members of Congress from purchasing individual stocks while in office but would allow them to keep stocks they already own. Lawmakers could also continue selling individual stocks, provided they publicly disclose their intent to sell at least seven days beforehand.

The measure would also sharply increase penalties for disclosure violations. Members who fail to properly report stock transactions could face fines of $2,000 or 10% of the transaction’s value, whichever is greater. That would be an increase from the current $200 penalty for a first offense, according to CNBC.

Trump Says AI Data Centers Pledge Will Make Power Bills ‘Actually Come Down’

/2 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump promised his data center pledge would lower Americans’ electricity bills.

Trump expanded his voluntary, nonbinding Ratepayer Protection Pledge on Thursday, the Associated Press reported. Signed by 23 governors, 55 utility companies and 27 data center companies, the pledge asks tech companies to cover their own power costs, according to the White House’s official Ratepayer Pledge page.

“Electricity bills for American families will actually come down,” Trump said, according to the AP. “They’re going to have a lot of electricity left over, and they’ll put that into the grid.”

Energy trends complicate that claim. “Residential electricity rates could rise 15% to 40% over the next five years,” the ICF, an energy consulting firm, said in a May 2025 analysis of select U.S. utilities.

“President Trump expanded his Ratepayer Protection Pledge to governors, legislators, developers, and power providers to ensure everyone involved in building and powering data centers covers their own costs instead of passing them on to American families,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A South Carolina man who admitted to threatening to assassinate Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace will avoid prison time after receiving a sentence that includes house arrest and probation.

Samuel Theodore Cain, a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman named “Roxie Wolfe,” posted to X on April 26, 2025, that he was going to assassinate Mace with a gun, according to a May press release on Mace’s website.

“I’M GOING TO ASSASSINATE REPRESENTATIVE NANCY MACE WITH A GUN AND I’M BEING 100% DEAD ASS,” Cain posted, according to the press release.

Cain was arrested in May 2025 and attempted to bond out three times but was consistently denied and was brought to tears as a result, The Post Millennial reported.

The activist eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison, which was then suspended in favor of 30 months of house arrest followed by five years of probation, according to The Post Millennial.

WATCH: Brandon Gill Corners Law School Gatekeeper with DEI Question She Won’t Answer

/28 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, put American Bar Association President Michelle A. Behnke in the hot seat Wednesday, repeatedly pressing her on whether the ABA’s diversity principles would justify rejecting a third Black Supreme Court justice.

The tense exchange came during a House Oversight Committee Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Constitutional Abuses hearing examining the ABA’s role in law school accreditation. Republicans argued the organization has used its accreditation authority to advance race-conscious DEI policies throughout the legal profession, while the ABA defended its commitment to diversity, saying it strengthens the profession without supporting racial quotas.

Gill, who chairs the task force, has accused the ABA of using its accreditation power to pressure law schools into adopting race-conscious admissions policies and mandatory DEI-related coursework.

“DEI is a cancerous ideology that promotes unlawful discrimination and steals opportunities from Americans who would otherwise earn jobs and law school admissions spots on merit,” Gill said ahead of the hearing.

During one of the hearing’s sharpest exchanges, Gill questioned Behnke about statements on the ABA’s website promoting judicial diversity. He cited the ABA’s position that judges should reflect the diversity of American society, then asked whether a racially representative Supreme Court would be beneficial.

Dem Candidate ‘Completely Unaware’ After Email Found In Ashley Madison Leak

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The email of the Democratic nominee for Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District, Zach Dembo, was found linked to an Ashley Madison account; however, his team says he has no clue how it got there.

Dembo, a former Navy Judge Advocate General Corps (JAG) officer and federal prosecutor, has his name and email shared on the Kentucky Bar Association website. This email is also found using a tool that searches emails used to create accounts on the infamous adultery hookup website Ashley Madison.

In 2015, as many as 37 million emails allegedly used to create Ashley Madison accounts were released by a group of hackers known as “The Impact Team.”

“Find yourself in here?” the team asked upon releasing the leak. “Learn your lesson and make amends. Embarrassing now, but you’ll get over it.”

A search tool created by the same person who, two years earlier, built a website that allowed Adobe users to verify whether their accounts were secure shows that Dembo’s email, as shared by the Kentucky Bar Association, was found among the leaked emails.

Warning Signs Flash As America’s Oil Reserves Bleed For Iran War

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Just when you thought gas prices could not get any higher, the real oil crisis is beginning to brew underground in America’s key oil reserve.

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is intended to maintain a stockpile of crude oil for periods of wartime or economic instability. The Iran War has pushed the U.S. to drain the SPR, which is now reaching critical levels, U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data shows.

The price of oil has surged past $100 per barrel as Houthi rebels have begun attacking ships in the Red Sea, Reuters reported, putting even more pressure on an already-constrained oil market.

Some analysts argue that the amount of usable oil in the SPR is much smaller than the official EIA numbers suggest.

The SPR has been drained by nearly 25% over the last 17 weeks, according to the EIA data, declining from 415.4 million barrels on March 20, 2026, to 311.4 million barrels on July 17, 2026. (Read more from “Warning Signs Flash As America’s Oil Reserves Bleed For Iran War” HERE)

WATCH: ‘Shocking’ Ben Franklin Smear Leaves Smithsonian Chief with ‘No Regrets’

/2 Comments/in , , /by

The director of the country’s premier American history museum said she has no regrets about any of the museum’s exhibits during her tenure after an expert confronted her with a “shocking” display that he said smeared Founding Father Benjamin Franklin.

Smithsonian National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig faced intense questioning from lawmakers during two Capitol Hill hearings this week. The hearings followed a White House Domestic Policy Council report accusing the museum of using taxpayer dollars and its status as a world-renowned institution to advance a “radical activist ideology.”

During a House hearing Tuesday, Heritage Foundation expert Mike Gonzalez testified that a multiyear special exhibit, “The Electric Dr. Franklin,” included a display that “pondered whether he had ever done experiments, electrical electroshock on indentured servants or slaves.”

Gonzalez testified that the display included this suggestion “without producing any evidence whatsoever,” which he called “shocking.”

“Why smear a Founding Father such as Ben Franklin by pondering such a really bizarre thing,” Gonzalez asked. (Read more from “WATCH: ‘Shocking’ Ben Franklin Smear Leaves Smithsonian Chief with ‘No Regrets’” HERE)

AP Post on USAID Cuts Backfires as Critics Question Taxpayer-Funded Nepal Transgender Jobs

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An Associated Press social media post about transgender aid workers in Nepal turning to sex work after losing their jobs due to U.S. foreign aid cuts sparked a wave of conservative backlash, with critics arguing the video made the case for defunding USAID rather than saving it.

The AP post said that in Nepal, where “a conservative culture leaves openly transgender people with few legal job options,” around 100 LGBTQ aid workers left jobless by U.S. funding cuts had turned to sex work to survive. An accompanying video focused on Rubi Lama, a former HIV outreach worker who said USAID-funded programs had provided free condoms, lubricant and HIV-prevention medication before the cuts.

“When USAID funding was there, condoms were free, lubricant was also distributed … for free,” Lama said in the video, adding that HIV treatments, including PrEP, were also available without cost. “But, now it is gone.”

The framing quickly drew criticism from conservatives who said the story raised the opposite question: why American taxpayers were funding those programs in the first place.

Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, was among the conservatives who argued the AP report made the opposite point from the one intended. (Read more from “AP Post on USAID Cuts Backfires as Critics Question Taxpayer-Funded Nepal Transgender Jobs” HERE)
