By Bob Hoge FBI Director Kash Patel is no fan of soon-to-be-former Dem Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14), whose political career is its death knell as he faces extremely serious charges of sexual assault and even rape. On Monday, he announced he would  be resigning from Congress  over the matter, and investigations are going on left and right that could potentially  put him behind bars . Now Patel is weighing in, and let’s just say he’s not feeling the sads over the allegedly perverted congressman’s downfall: . @EricSwalwell has maintained that none of the allegations against him are true, and now that he’s resigned, we would welcome him to sit down with the FBI and share any information he has. We also encourage and welcome any person with relevant information to any of these… — FBI Director Kash Patel (@FBIDirectorKash) April 14, 2026 We also encourage and welcome any person with relevant information to any of these matters to speak with us. Door is open to all. @FBI 1-...

By A. J. Christopher As Iran continues to suck the oxygen out of every morning's headline, an interesting turn of events has quietly unfolded on the back burner. Argentine President Javier Milei, a sincere and stalwart ally of the United States, has publicly reiterated his country’s  claim  to the Falkland Islands. The islands currently fall under British jurisdiction, which has been in effect since the 1982 Falklands War. But the legal dispute over the islands was never settled, and Argentina never surrendered its claim to them. Earlier this month, Milei delivered a speech reaffirming “our right to the full exercise of sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia, and the South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime spaces.” He stated that the situation “must be resolved through mature and sincere dialogue between Argentina and the United Kingdom.” In a warning to oil companies looking to develop the oil fields in the vicinity of the Falklands, he said that...

By Stephen Green A walk down the aisles of almost any neighborhood liquor stores showcase a wealth of variety that hardly seemed possible when I made my first legal purchase [mumble-mumble] years ago. You'll see 50 bourbons where there used to be five, vodkas from as far and wide as Russia's Stoli to Tito's from Texas. If you'd have told 21-year-old me that someday I'd enjoy scotch from Japan, I'd have looked at you like you were a crazy person. You'll find, as General Motors used to say about its array of cars, a spirit "for every purse and purpose." Things are already so good that PJ Media's own Chris Queen writes a  continuing series on bourbon , and it will be a sober night at my house before he runs out of material. We truly live in a Golden Age.  So how do I put this without veering into completely over-the-top hyperbole? Forget it. I can't. That's because no matter how good we have it now, our Golden Age of Spirits will soon ...

By Ben Smith The Justice Department has released an internal  report  accusing the Biden administration of weaponizing federal law against pro-life activists, coordinating with abortion-rights groups to track and prosecute them while treating similar conduct on the other side far more lightly. The review runs nearly 900 pages and draws from more than 700,000 internal records. It concludes that federal prosecutors pursued pro-life defendants more aggressively, relied on outside activist groups to build cases, and in some instances withheld evidence from defense attorneys. According to the report, prosecutors worked directly with abortion-rights organizations, including the National Abortion Federation, Planned Parenthood, and the Feminist Majority Foundation, to identify and track activists before charges were filed. Those groups provided real-time alerts about protests, social media posts, and travel movements across state lines, with information feeding into search warran...

By Bonchie In what has felt like a slow-building inevitability, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni appears to be fully embracing the European elite.  Despite the support she's received from President Donald Trump and the broader Western right-wing, Meloni chose to  prohibit  the U.S. military from using its Sicilian airbase during Operation Epic Fury. Now, she's moving further with her attempted appeasement of a European left that once called her a fascist and compared her to Adolf Hitler by ending a long-standing security agreement with Israel.  Pro-Islamist outlet Al Jazeera took a victory lap with its reporting earlier on Tuesday. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says Italy is suspending its defence agreement with Israel as global protests mount over the US-Israel war on Iran. 🔴LIVE updates: https://t.co/WSC3mQB9Gp pic.twitter.com/5Hvx5uc99D — Al Jazeera Breaking News (@AJENews) April 14, 2026 For context, this does nothing to harm the Israelis.

By Teri Christoph Law-abiding citizens of Virginia have been on pins and needles these past few days waiting to see how Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) would handle a  bill  that had been sitting on her desk for a month that would ban the purchase of certain "assault firearms."  There was a hard deadline of 11:59 p.m. Monday for her to take action. She had several options: sign it, veto it, send it back to the General Assembly with suggested amendments, or simply do nothing, which would allow it to become law without her signature. Considering "Grabby Abby" Spanberger had happily  voted  in favor of assault weapons bans during her time in Congress, it seemed likely that she would ink this bill into law without a second thought. However, there was one big mitigating factor hanging over her: the April 21 referendum on whether or not to allow Virginia Democrats to gerrymander Republicans out of four of the five congressional seats they currently hold – and some sig...

By Bob Hoge We told you that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani would be bad, and the democrat socialist has proven to be as terrible or perhaps even worse than we warned.  He’s continued his  antisemitic rhetoric  and  demeaning of police , wants to tax the wealthy  out of existence  (or at least, out of the state), and is striving to  make DEI great again  — just what nobody needs. On Sunday, he announced that the city’s  first city-run grocery store  will open in East Harlem, and it will cost  $30 million  to build and take over a year to complete. Trump could probably build a dozen of these for $30 million. Why so much? Union wages play a part, but that doesn't explain it all, considering Mamdani had earlier promised  five  stores  for a mere $70 million: Even assuming New York City’s priciest union-driven construction costs, a standard-sized 25,000-square-foot grocery store should only be about $15 milli...

By John Solomon Famed Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says he believes President Donald Trump could have grounds to expunge his 2019 impeachment in the House after bombshell new evidence revealed the intelligence community failed to disclose that his main accuser had the potential for bias, made a false statement and only had hearsay to back up his allegations. Dershowitz, a Democrat at the time who worked to defend Trump at the impeachment trial that ended in the president's acquittal, said it would be "an interesting, novel approach" for Trump to go to Chief Justice John Roberts, who presided over the case, or Congress and ask for the impeachment to be reversed because the defense team was denied the right to confront his accusers with exculpatory evidence. "It's never been done. I don't see any reason why it couldn't be done," Dershowitz said during an interview Monday night on the Just the News, No Noise television show. "...

By Kevin Downey Jr. The Democratic Party has become an insane asylum, and no one can distinguish the inmates from the orderlies.   Today's liberals' parade against "fascism" by dressing as frogs, waving timeworn marital aids in the air, and, during moments where impulse control is harder to find than Bigfoot, launching mashed potatoes at their pitiful spouses. FACT-O-RAMA!  A Pew Research Center study revealed that  56% of liberal women aged 18-29  suffer from mental illness. After you read this article, let me know if the older broads are doing better or worse. Now that Eric Swalwell has debauched his way out of the race for California governor, fury-girl Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), who is  really  chummy with one of Swalwell's timely accusers, finds herself one step closer to running the largest state in the union deeper into the outhouse history. But Porter has some anger-prone  skeletons herself . Watch potty-mouthed Porter attack an aide, wh...
