ABC News anchor Kyra Phillips recently shared her unsettling experiences with crime in Washington, D.C., emphasizing the increasing dangers in the area. Phillips recounted being “jumped” by a “half-dressed” homeless man just blocks from her workplace, illustrating the daily threats faced by residents and workers alike. “We’re all experiencing it firsthand,” she stated, highlighting the urgency of addressing the city’s crime problem. Phillips described the environment around the ABC News bureau as increasingly perilous, with violent incidents occurring alarmingly close to their offices. “Just in the past six months, there were two people shot, one person died,” she noted, underscoring…

Recent revelations have once again spotlighted the actions of FBI Director Chris Wray, as he admitted to Congress that the agency is not probing an incident involving President Trump. This incident saw Trump sharing a stage with an individual identified as a suspect, armed with a gun, at a rally. The lack of investigation raises questions about the priorities of the bureau under Wray’s leadership. In 2017, a Democrat whistleblower revealed to the FBI that Congressman Adam Schiff approved leaking classified documents intended to damage Trump. This whistleblower reiterated in 2023 that he was present at a meeting where Schiff…

Hunter Biden is in a bit of hot water after his recent comments about Melania Trump. He made some bold remarks that linked her introduction to Donald Trump with notorious figure Jeffrey Epstein. Naturally, Melania wasn’t pleased and is now seeking over $1 billion in damages, claiming defamation. The comments by Hunter were made during an appearance on “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan” on August 5. In the video, which is still online, Hunter didn’t hold back his thoughts. When asked if he would apologize, his response was quite defiant. “F**k that. That’s not going to happen,” Hunter laughed when…

Governor Gavin Newsom of California is attempting to change the state’s voting districts, but it seems most Californians aren’t on board with his plan. A recent poll by the University of California Berkeley and Politico shows that 64% of voters prefer to keep the current independent commission that handles redistricting. Only 36% want to give that power back to the state legislature. This poll is not the best news for Newsom, especially since he has been vocal against redistricting efforts in Republican states like Texas. Texas is looking to add five more GOP-leaning seats, and Newsom has been critical of…

James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence, sent an email just two months after Donald Trump won the 2016 election, discussing the investigation into alleged Russian collusion. This email, kept under wraps until recently, has been released by current DNI Tulsi Gabbard. She’s been diligently working to expose the origins of the Russiagate scandal and hold accountable the Obama administration officials involved. In the email, Clapper communicated with former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey, among others. He stated, “The decision to compromise standards and violate protocols in the creation of the 2017 manufactured intelligence…

Eleanor Holmes Norton, the Democratic delegate-at-large for Washington, D.C., and Maryland’s Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen announced plans to propose legislation granting full authority over the D.C. National Guard to the district. President Donald Trump, on the same day, voiced his intention to tackle crime in the capital by implementing Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. This act permits the president to assume temporary control of the city’s police force if he deems the situation an emergency. Trump also mobilized 800 D.C. National Guard troops, expected to arrive in the city soon, to provide various forms…

Scammers have been having a field day, tricking older Americans out of a whopping $445 million in 2024 alone. This is a massive jump from the $55 million reported just four years ago in 2020. These con artists are getting sneakier, and sadly, it’s the seniors who are bearing the brunt of it. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is sounding the alarm on this troubling trend. They say the scams often involve fraudsters pretending to be government officials or business representatives. It’s a dirty trick, and unfortunately, many older folks have lost $10,000 or even their entire life savings because…

A recent government report revealed an alarming 14% rise in the homeless population in Washington, D.C. compared to the previous year. In response, former President Donald Trump has stepped up with bold plans to tackle the issue. Trump’s strategy includes relocating the homeless and getting tough on crime, emphasizing the need for immediate action. Trump’s announcement was made via a Truth Social post, where he stated, “The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY.” He assured that accommodations would be provided, but emphasized they would be “FAR from the Capital.” Meanwhile, his message to criminals was clear: they belong in jail.…

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a bold move by reallocating nearly $500 million from mRNA vaccine development towards “safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate.” This decision caused quite a stir, not just among the public health establishment and mainstream media but also some traditional conservatives. While the National Review editors praised COVID-19 vaccines for their alleged reduction in severe outcomes, they also noted that the virus naturally became “less severe over time.” The editors cited President Biden’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which claimed that vaccines reduced hospitalization and…

President Trump recently took decisive action by removing Erika McEntarfer from her post as Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He accused her of intentionally inflating employment numbers to aid Kamala Harris’s campaign. Citing a significant error, Trump noted that reported job figures were later revised down by nearly one million, a mistake he deemed the worst in over half a century. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett supported McEntarfer’s dismissal, highlighting a “partisan pattern” in the Bureau’s reporting. He stressed the importance of bringing in a “fresh set of eyes” to restore credibility. This move underscores the administration’s…
