Tucker Carlson claimed a "terrified" and "hysterical" Dan Bongino told him President Donald Trump was the one who shut down an investigation into an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, a notion Bongino is already denying. Carlson joined Mario Nawfal on Thursday and opened up about his alleged interactions with Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel over lingering questions he has about Trump's attempted assassination during a 2024 rally in Butler. Thomas Crooks, 20, was killed in his perch, but the lack of a manifesto and social media postings has led to numerous conspiracy theories about the motivation of the shooting. Carlson claimed he came into possession of social media posts by Crooks, and he had an awkward exchange with Bongino on the subject while Bongino was still serving in the Trump administration.


As he futilely tried against Democrat NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani in 2025, AIPAC attack hippo US Senator John Fetterman (D-Israel) smeared Graham Platner (D-ME) on Faux News after the progressive easily became the Democratic candidate for the US Senate, representing the non-Islamophobic people of Maine:

  • Well, I mean, at least he has a D' after his name, but he's not even a Democrat."
    John Fetterman is not a good human being


    Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) said Democratic nominee for US Senate Rep. James Talarico (D) will "go to hell" for his interpretations of the Bible, as Talarico has made his Christian faith a cornerstone of his campaign.

    Trust isn't destroyed by evidence. It's destroyed when identity becomes more important than reality.


    Subsidized by the peace-loving, hard-working American taxpayer and employing US-provided munitions, the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) continue their gruesome Jeffery Dahmer-like serial killing spree in Gaza and Lebanon. As of 12 June 2026, the IDF has now killed 73,070 Palestinians in Gaza, including 20,179 children and ~3,700 people in Lebanon, including at least 200 children. Moreover, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir suggested that the IDF kidnap women and children from Lebanon. Since 1948 under both Democratic and Republican Party administrations, the US has sent both the Labor and Likud governments of Israel, a prosperous and nuclear-armed country with universal healthcare for all her residents, over $317.9bn, the most US economic aid given to any nation in the world.

    Americans are subsiding the national equivalent of Jeffrey Dahmer, a sex offender and serial killer that targeted vulnerable youth in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last century

    Jake Tapper Warns Viewers As He Dives Into Trump Nipple' Abuse Claim From Bombshell Epstein Meeting

    Maggie Haberman and co-author Jonathan Swan dropped an epic deep dive on Wednesday, based on their upcoming book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, that was chock-full of splashy revelations.

    Those revelations included a stunning account of a Situation Room meeting on the release of the Epstein Files that veered into what the authors described as "the nipple materials."


    An FBI document from the U.S. Department of Justice Jeffrey Epstein files contains extraordinary allegations involving President Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and a Trump-owned golf course " claims that appear to have originated from a single tipster who contacted federal authorities in 2021. The FBI intake report does not identify the golf course referenced by the caller. However, the allegation appears in files connected to Epstein, whose sprawling Palm Beach mansion served as the center of many of the activities that ultimately led to his conviction and the federal sex-trafficking investigation that followed.

    "Let's start thinking outside the box about Hezbollah," Ben Gvir said, according to The Jerusalem Post. "Also, conquering territory and killing many terrorists, but also arresting their women and youth and taking them to terrorist prisons. That's what hurts them the most." Read more


    When late arriving ballots in the race for Los Angeles mayor turned dramatically against conservative Spencer Pratt last week, Donald Trump reacted with his usual subtlety. "They're cheating on the election," said the President, as it became clear Pratt would be knocked out of the runoff for the November general election. Democrats were quick to respond. California Attorney General Rob Bonta dismissed claims of vote fraud as "a figment of the imagination of Trump and others involved in that conspiracy theory." Bonta is right there's no direct evidence that fraud swayed the LA mayor's race. But California's notorious tardiness in counting votes has been almost universally ridiculed and has undermined public trust in elections.


    The BBC have officially announced that the Doctor Who Christmas special has been canceled, and show runner Russel T Davies (RTD) has fessed up that he was lying all along and never wrote a script for it.
