ANALYSIS – There is a lot of competition for the title ‘America’s most screwed up city.’ Most are, of course, democrat-run. New York is high on the list with its crime and homelessness, compounded by Joe Biden’s massive wave of illegal aliens turning Manhattan and its boroughs into a third-world tent city. (RELATED: Local Residents Lash Out At AOC And Dems Over Migrant Crisis) San Francisco too is a major contender, with its crime-ridden, desolate downtown filled with drug addicts, needles, and homeless people. But it seems Portland, Oregon, home of the infamous and violent Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots…

ANALYSIS – Much of the nation was recently mesmerized by the escape, manhunt and capture of an escaped murderer in Pennsylvania. Many of us saw the video of Danelo Cavalcante crab walking up two walls to break out of prison. Many of us also followed the massive, two-week-long search and expressed relief when the armed killer was recently caught by Pennsylvania State Police and members of the U.S. Border Patrol’s special BORTAC unit. (RELATED: Police Provide Chilling Update Involving Manhunt For Illegal Fugitive) Law enforcement was assisted by a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) plane, which picked up Cavalcante’s heat…
ANALYSIS – With its counteroffensive in the east slowed by heavy Russian fortifications, Ukraine is striking deep into Russian-held territories with cruise missiles. It is paying especially close attention to the strategic Crimean peninsula in the south occupied by Russia in 2014. On Wednesday, it struck the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol, the capital of Crimea, causing significant damage. Based on multiple reports and satellite imagery, the Ukrainian missile attack likely destroyed a Ropucha-Class Russian landing ship and a Kilo-class submarine that were being repaired in dry dock at the port, as well as other port facilities.…
FRIDAY PDB – If these Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) aren’t extraterrestrial, our earthly adversaries are going to crush us. NASA data, analysis needed to help DoD understand UFOs: Commission. Mike Gold, a former NASA official and member of the study team, said that if any UAP proves to be extraterrestrial, “that would probably be the best-case scenario, because if these systems are from terrestrial adversaries, that is really terrifying.” “The NASA independent study team did not find any evidence that UAP have an extraterrestrial origin, but we don’t know what these UAP are,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said, stressing that the key reason…
ANALYSIS – FBI agent bombshell – Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, now a special counsel, was the lead prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden for alleged tax offenses. He is accused of slow-rolling the investigation, and he contrived a sweetheart plea deal that would have essentially given Hunter nothing more than a slap on the wrist. That deal blew up in June, as I have written previously, TWICE, thanks to both GOP pressure and an astute judge who questioned the shady deal. Now, it turns out, his fellow U.S. Attorneys for D.C. and the Central District of California at the Department of Justice (DOJ)…
THURSDAY PDB – It should be considered an option as part of a broader strategy. Crenshaw says using US military force in Mexico isn’t as extreme as it sounds. The entire point is psychological warfare against the cartels,” says the chair of the Republican-led task force to combat drug-runners from Mexico. One of Congress’ leading proponents for using military force against Mexican drug cartels said he’d consider restricting armed action until Mexico approves of it – all to get Democrats more comfortable with the aggressive messaging. In January, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), chair of the Republican-led Task Force to Combat Mexican Drug Cartels, alongside…
ANALYSIS – Some of the Republican Party’s more ‘firebrand’ conservatives are trying to bully and threaten House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Many in the media have tried to paint the battle in ways that discredit the GOP. I support vibrant debate within our party, but constantly undermining the leadership when the GOP has a slim majority is getting old. And McCarthy is clearly getting sick of it, too. Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz bashed McCarthy on Tuesday, giving him a list of demands while threatening a motion for McCarthy to vacate the chair, essentially to remove him as speaker. This came just…
ANALYSIS – In yet another egregious case of “what if Trump had done this?” and “Biden doesn’t care,” the White House is blatantly pressuring major news media executives to toe the Democrat line on the Biden impeachment process. Just as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday that he’s directing House committees to open an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden over his family’s shady overseas business dealings, the White House sent a letter to major news outlets telling them how to cover it. Essentially insisting that they should bash it. (RELATED: Jordan Releases Smoking-Gun Docs, Proving Facebook Censored Americans Under White House…
ANALYSIS – Just months after the Department of Justice (DOJ) opened an investigation on her for posting leaked Pentagon intelligence on Ukraine, a U.S. Navy veteran-turned-pro-Russian propagandist is back online. Sarah Bils, a divorced 38-year-old New Jersey native and former Navy technician, was unmasked in April after falsely posing as a Russian Jew reporting from occupied Ukraine. And deplatformed shortly thereafter by X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube. But the attractive Bils, who had a security clearance while in the Navy, is back online on both platforms, as well as Telegram, spewing anti-American and pro-Putin propaganda under the name ‘DD Geopolitics.’ She has repeatedly posted…
WEDNESDAY PDB – China unveils ‘blueprint’ for Taiwan integration while sending warships around the self-ruled island. The plan to deepen integration between the coastal province of Fujian and self-governing Taiwan touted the benefits of closer cross-strait cooperation while at the same time sending warships around the island in a show of military might. ADDITIONALLY – Taiwan says China is bolstering nearby coastal military bases. China is continuously bolstering its military bases along the coastline facing Taiwan. THIS ALL SHOWS WAR IS COMING – Congress should debate now whether we defend Taiwan, not on the eve of invasion. China is our economic, ideological and military…
