The mayor of a small village near Cincinnati says he needs help from the federal government after a surge of illegal immigration primarily from Mauritania that nearly exceeds the local population and that he says is "unsustainable.""Our county officials estimate that we have around 3,000 of those that have come to a village of 3,420 residents. And our complaint is, if the federal government is going to have an open borders policy, with that they need to have a policy directing these immigrants to communities that can absorb that kind of population increase," Lockland Mayor Mark Mason told Fox News Digital...

A prestigious public high school frequently ranked America's best has slumped in rankings after implementing a DEI-focused admissions policy. Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology fell to number 14 on the latest US News and World Report Rankings. It held the top spot for years, but dipped to third place in 2023 and saw its ranking freefall in 2024, prompting the principal Dr. Ann Bonitatibus to stand down earlier this month. Worried parents have said that the alarming drop is the result of an 'equity'-focused admissions policy, which prioritizes equality of outcome rather than opportunity...

#6 Russia Fined Google More Than Earth's Entire GDP for a Millennium - Alexander Maxham for Android Headlines, and Blake Hamilton on X

Russia has fined Google for not reinstating Russian TV channels that were blocked on YouTube, an absurd amount of money. We’re talking about $20 decillion US dollars. That’s a two followed by 34 zeros, or $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. That’s a lot of money. In fact, it’s more than the GDP of the entire planet for a millennium. This fine has been accruing since 2020, when Russian outlets, including Tsargard TV and RIA FAN, sued Google for blocking their content. Since then, the penalty has continued to grow as 15 other channels, including Kremlin-backed networks, have won court cases against Google...

In today's technology-driven world, the relentless march of innovation comes with a hefty price tag: massively increased energy needs. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, data centers, server farms, and cryptocurrency are consuming staggering amounts of power, which is leading Big Tech companies to increasingly desperate measures to secure the energy they need.

An election worker in Florida was fired following an incident where a bin that contained filled-out ballots fell off a truck in the Sunshine State. The Miami-Dade County Elections Department announced on Tuesday that the election worker didn't lock the truck before driving, resulting in the ballots falling out of the truck. “Upon arrival at the police department, elections staff verified all seals were intact, and nothing was tampered with or damaged,” the department said. “Once at Elections Headquarters, all items were accounted for and all seals were once again verified.” They described what happened as a "human error." The ballots were noticed due to a driver finding a bag of ballots and a bin of ballots near the Turnpike extension in Cutler Bay, according to The Hill...




 

#3 Catherine Herridge Drops Major Report Shattering Democrats’ 2020 Laptop Narrative - Chris Powell for Trending Politics, Patriot 911, and Tara Bull on X

IRS whistleblowers have come forward with claims that key government agencies, including the IRS, DOJ, and FBI, were aware that Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop was genuine. The new report from former CBS News’ Catherine Herridge suggests that federal officials avoided investigating potential ties to then-candidate Joe Biden before the 2020 election. According to Herridge’s investigation, IRS agents working on the Hunter Biden tax case alleged that prosecutors instructed them not to pursue any lines of questioning that could implicate Joe Biden, referred to as “The Big Guy” in various communications. One agent, Gary Shapley, confirmed that “The Big Guy” was indeed Joe Biden, adding that investigators faced restrictions on overt investigative steps as the election drew near...



 

#2 Jake Tapper Is Lying About CNN’s Key Role In The Russia Collusion Hoax - Mollie Hemingway for The Federalist, and Charlie Kirk on X

On Jan. 12, 2017, I appeared on a CNN panel to discuss current events. It was memorable, and not just because we were taping from the roof of a building near the U.S. Capitol as part of the outlet’s special coverage of Trump’s first inauguration. Just as we were about to go on, we were significantly delayed by President Barack Obama surprising Vice President Joe Biden with a Presidential Medal of Freedom. As I recall, there were maybe five or six of us on set, including former Obama political appointee Jim Sciutto and host Jake Tapper, two of the four authors of the most important story of the entire Russia collusion hoax. “Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him” had been published just two days prior, followed up by BuzzFeed publishing the actual document claiming widespread collusion between Trump and Russia. That document — which nine months later was revealed to have been secretly bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat National Committee — included salacious lies about Trump supposedly paying prostitutes to urinate on a bed that the Obamas had slept in during a visit to a fancy Moscow hotel. The hysteria was such that many people wondered if Donald Trump would make it to the inauguration.




 

#1 Bannon, Released From Prison, Warns Of Impending Election Steal - Tristan Justice for The Federalist, Graham Mitchell, and Bannon's War Room on X

Conservative podcast host Steve Bannon warned Americans about Democrats’ efforts to rig the election immediately after his release from a federal prison on Tuesday. “I want to make sure everybody understands something,” Bannon said on his “War Room” podcast. “They have no intention of giving up power.” Bannon, who completed a four-month prison sentence over his refusal to comply with demands from the Democrats’ Soviet-style Jan. 6 inquisition, spoke about three phases of electioneering that include get-out-the-vote operations, post-Election Day litigation led by Marc Elias, and “delegitimization” of the process in the event Republicans win...
