Are the Obamas ‘soft launching’ a divorce?

Rumors the Obamas were headed for a divorce began in December after Michelle Obama skipped Jimmy Carter’s funeral and announced she wouldn’t be attending Trump’s inauguration.

It was also recently reported that Barack and Michelle Obama’s largest donors have dropped them amid rumors about their marriage.

Last month Meghan McCain added fuel to the long-swirling speculation surrounding the marriage of Barack and Michelle Obama, claiming that her sources have confirmed the former first couple is living “separate lives.”

“I have been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a divorce from very reputable people,” McCain revealed on political reporter Tara Palmeri’s podcast, “Somebody’s Gotta Win with Tara Palmeri.”

“I’m not talking about TMZ. I’m not talking about Perez Hilton, although I love him, he’s my friend. I’m talking about serious journalists telling me the divorce rumors are true.” (Read more from “Obamas ‘Soft Launching’ a Divorce?” HERE)

/36 Comments/in , /by

During this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” President Donald Trump dismissed naysayers who claimed friction between him and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk.

Trump gave Musk his vote of confidence despite opponents claiming he was “overstepping.”

“Look, the Democrats say that Elon Musk and DOGE are overstepping their bounds. You’re right. What Elon Musk and DOGE have been able to uncover is unbelievable,” host Maria Bartiromo said. “Half of us did not even realize.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fire and medical crews are responding to a plane crash off Airport Road near Brethren Village in Manheim Township. Lancaster County-Wide Communications dispatchers received reports shortly after 3:15 p.m EDT. that a small aircraft had crashed near a parking lot at Brethren Village. The crash ignited fires involving the plane and multiple vehicles.

LancasterOnline has more:

Emergency crews on the scene reported that a total of five people were injured in the incident. Dispatchers were unable to comment on the extent of the injuries.

Brian Pipkin, a Lititz resident who was visiting Brethren Village at the time of the crash, said he was driving on Airport road when he saw the plane flying low.

“I don’t know what played into it but it veered left,” Pipkin said. “It just nosedived.”

Pipkin said he couldn’t tell if the plane struck a parking lot at Brethren Village or a building. He called 911.

Pipkin said he saw two people laying in the grass nearby, covered in black marks. He wasn’t sure if they were ejected from the plane or not.

Here’s Why Democrats Are Trying To Force a Government Shutdown

/0 Comments/in , /by

The radical left is at it again, folks. As we approach the March 14 deadline to fund the government, Democrats are playing their favorite game: manufacturing a crisis to force through their bloated spending agenda.

While Republican leadership works tirelessly to pass a sensible continuing resolution (CR) that would freeze spending and secure our southern border, Democrats are deliberately orchestrating a shutdown. Their endgame? Protecting their precious slush funds and derailing President Trump’s America First agenda.

And, of course, stopping the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) dead in its tracks.

“Congress must keep the government open so that DOGE can continue to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in our government. This continuing resolution is necessary to advance President Trump’s agenda,” Rep. Andy Harris, the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, said in a post on X. “I fully support it.”

That’s what’s at stake. Keeping the government funding will allow DOGE to maintain its vital oversight functions. But Democrats would rather shut down the government than allow transparency and accountability. (Read more from “Here’s Why Democrats Are Trying To Force a Government Shutdown” HERE)

Mark Carney Named as Canada’s Prime Minister-Elect Amid U.S. Trade War

/1 Comment/in , /by

Canada selected a new prime minister-elect on Sunday night, as Justin Trudeau’s reign nears a close amid a trade war with the United States.

Canada’s Liberal Party announced that Mark Carney was chosen to succeed Trudeau after party members voted in a nominating contest between four candidates.

In his acceptance speech, Carney addressed U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada and the threat Trump has posed towards the country, calling the current events the “greatest crisis of our lifetimes.”

“We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves, so the Americans, they should make no mistake, in trade as in hockey, Canada will win,” Carney said.

Indirectly addressing Trump’s calls to make Canada the 51st state of the U.S., Carney added, “America is not Canada, and Canada never, ever will be part of America in any way, shape or form.” (Read more from “Mark Carney Named as Canada’s Prime Minister-Elect Amid U.S. Trade War” HERE)

Noem: America’s Enemies Intentionally Bring Fentanyl To U.S. ‘To Kill Americans’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said during an interview over the weekend that America’s enemies are flooding the country’s streets with fentanyl in — part because they are trying to kill Americans.

Noem made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with Margaret Brennan while talking about President Donald Trump’s efforts to stop the flow of drugs coming into the U.S.

She said that the Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were really about fentanyl, not just the economy.

“I think the president obviously wants a strong economy, obviously wants better trade deals as well,” she said. “But this is about fentanyl and what we can do to stop the cartels from partnering with Chinese officials, laundering money and bringing a poison into our country that is specifically designed to kill the next generation.”

“I think a lot of people don’t understand the strategy of these enemies of the United States and what they’re utilizing,” she continued. “They are bringing this in, not just to make money. They’re bringing it in here to kill Americans. And it’s time that we stand up for the people that live here and make sure that we’re stopping this war against our children.”

U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighters Forced to Intercept 2 Aircraft That Invaded Mar-a-Lago Airspace

/0 Comments/in , /by

Air Force F-16 fighter jets scrambled Sunday to intercept aircraft that entered the airspace over President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida — the second time that’s happened in 48 hours, NORAD says.

A civilian aircraft flew into the no-fly zone over the property at around 1:15 p.m. Sunday, according to a statement.

The fighter jets fired flares to warn the pilots to move out of the area, the military said.

The aircraft was then escorted out of the area. (Read more from “U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighters Forced to Intercept 2 Aircraft That Invaded Mar-a-Lago Airspace” HERE)

Alleged 14-Year-Old Cop Killer Can’t Be Tried as Adult in NJ — Handing Him All Sorts of Perks: Expert

/0 Comments/in , /by

He’s accused of killing a Newark cop — but he won’t be tried in public and likely won’t even serve out a 20-year sentence if convicted.

That’s because the suspected triggerman is a 14-year-old boy — and in New Jersey, the courts won’t move kids of that age up to criminal court, no matter how heinous their crimes.

“The state statute requires somebody to be 15 years old to treat it as an adult case,” said Laura Sutnick, a criminal defense lawyer and president of the Bergen County Bar Association, to The Post on Sunday.

“But if you’re 14, you can’t be waived to adult court.”

One year in age may not seem like much, but it will make a world of difference for the unidentified teen, who’s been charged with murder for allegedly gunning down 26-year-old Detective Joseph Azcona with an automatic weapon Friday night on a Brick City street corner.

COVID Booster Vaccine Reawakens World’s Deadliest Virus Inside Man’s Body

/91 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. Doctors have revealed an extremely rare case that saw the Covid vaccine reawaken a deadly virus inside a man’s body.

The unnamed 47-year-old had been living with a dormant tuberculosis infection that was not causing symptoms when he received his booster shot in India.

Five days after vaccination he he began experiencing ‘severe constitutional symptoms’ including fever, fatigue and night sweats.

Doctors discovered that his immune system, now stronger from the vaccine, started attacking the TB infection too aggressively, causing inflammation and the flare-up of symptoms.

He was diagnosed with tuberculosis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS), marking the first known case linked to a Covid booster. (Read more from “COVID Booster Vaccine Reawakens World’s Deadliest Virus Inside Man’s Body” HERE)

Troops Booted Over COVID Vaccine Show Limited Interest in Rejoining

By The Military Times. Roughly 650 Marines and Army soldiers who were forced out of the military for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine have so far expressed interest in returning to the force under an executive order from President Donald Trump, officials said this week.

The number represents about 8% of the roughly 8,200 troops who had been discharged. The total, officials say, confirms military leaders’ early view that many troops have moved on with their lives. They have been allowed to rejoin since 2023, and Trump’s offer of providing back pay may be a factor in spurring a bit more interest now.

The Army and Marine Corps have been sending out emails, texts and phone calls to service members discharged for refusing a pandemic-era order to get the vaccine. The Navy and the Air Force are planning to begin their efforts to contact service members, but are waiting for additional guidance. The totals would likely increase once their formal notices go out.

Officials stressed that the numbers are very preliminary because troops have only expressed interest in reenlisting and haven’t actually taken steps to formally do so. They will have to go through the enlistment procedure again, pass all required legal and moral standards and physical fitness requirements and agree to reenlist for at least two years.

Trump has argued that the vaccine mandate wrongly pushed troops out and suggested that many would return. In an executive order signed a week after he took office, Trump said that the mandate cost the military “some of our best people” and he vowed to “rehire every patriot who was fired from the military with … backpay.” (Read more from “Troops Booted Over COVID Vaccine Show Limited Interest in Rejoining” HERE)
