58+ min ago (668+ words) This abuse of judicial power was aided by the legislative branch," legal analyst Keith Gross told The Federalist. The judicial coup pounded the separation of powers once again on Monday, with liberal Judge Cameron Currie"s haughty dismissal of federal indictments against deep state creep James Comey and leftist New York State Attorney General Letitia James." But constitutional law experts say Currie"s judicial overreach " and possibly the law that allowed it " isn"t likely to survive the scrutiny of higher courts. " "She got it wrong, quite clearly, and will almost certainly be reversed," Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article Three Project, wrote in an X post." The Department of Justice plans to fight Currie"s ruling in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The DOJ is appealing similar…...

1+ hour, 2+ min ago (487+ words) How many times do I have to teach you this lesson about appeasement, warmongers? In light of actual progress toward a peace proposal in the Russo-Ukrainian War, warmongers scrambled to hurl their favorite smear at the Trump administration. According to them, anything less than a total crushing victory over Russia is no different than British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement toward Nazi Germany in 1938 and paves the way for further Russian aggression. We've heard this accusation thrown around time after time from neocons, Democrat politicians, the propaganda press, and really anybody who is personally offended when America stays out of a foreign conflict for more than two seconds. Continuing in that vapid tradition, New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman wrote a piece titled "Trump's Neville Chamberlain Prize." Given the current state of the war, these seem…...

1+ hour, 2+ min ago (397+ words) In an age where the idols of dissociation and personal comfort demand empty reverence, it is healthy to remind our souls that we are embodied creations living in specific places and communities. My family started my favorite Thanksgiving-week tradition when I was in middle school, not long after we moved to a new neighborhood. We invited our cul-de-sac neighbors to our house on the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving " a big step for a family of majority introverts fairly new to the area. Everyone was tasked with bringing themselves and a pie to share. My mom made chicken pot pie for dinner and, as the gathering grew in size over the years, shepherd's pie as well. The tradition was inspired by a family we knew in a Midwestern small town where we used to live and is oh-so-originally termed "Pie Night....

1+ hour, 3+ min ago (287+ words) With the market for GLP-1s already exploding, Americans might be best served by a government that focuses on promoting competition to drive down prices. Should the rooster get credit for the sun rising in the morning? Hardly. Yet in recent weeks, two companies received significant financial benefits for taking actions that market forces were likely going to bring about on their own. But a Wall Street Journal article dissecting the agreement's effect noted that, as impressive as these discounts sound, the reality contains more nuance because the current "sticker prices" are inflated:" The net price, which reflects what pharma companies take home after rebates and discounts to pharmacy-benefit managers and others, is much lower. Leerink Partners analyst"David Risinger"says the effective price is only about 20% to 35% below what Medicare currently pays for Mounjaro, which is prescribed for diabetes. Eliminating…...

15+ hour, 26+ min ago (437+ words) The Department of War announced Monday that it has launched an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., for his participation in the "Seditious Six" video in which Democrat lawmakers encouraged military members to ignore orders from President Donald Trump, their commander-in-chief. Kelly, a retired Navy captain, could be called back into active duty service in order to face "court-martial proceedings or administrative measures," according to the Pentagon. "The video made by the "Seditious Six" was despicable, reckless, and false. Encouraging our warriors to ignore the orders of their Commanders undermines every aspect of "good order and discipline." Their foolish screed sows doubt and confusion " which only puts our warriors in danger," War Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a statement. In a spliced video section from Reps. Chris Deluzio, D-Penn., and Jason Crow, D-Colo., they said that "threats to our Constitution…...

18+ hour, 12+ min ago (300+ words) An unelected, inferior-court activist judge tossed the grand jury indictment against disgraced former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, arguing that federal prosecutor Lindsay Halligan was unlawfully appointed. Judge Cameron Currie, a Clinton appointee, ruled Monday that Halligan was unlawfully appointed and that the indictments against both Comey and James are invalid. Currie then stated, "I agree with Mr. Comey that the Attorney General's attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid. And because Ms. Halligan had no lawful authority to present the indictment, I will grant Mr. Comey's motion and dismiss the indictment without prejudice." The government argued, however, that unless the Senate explicitly refused to confirm Halligan, then Bondi was within her authority to appoint Halligan as lawful interim attorney. Comey's team, however,…...

18+ hour, 24+ min ago (713+ words) Unlike Democrats, Republicans have no unified vision of what they view as success for the country. On Friday, the GOP-controlled House of Representatives did what many thought was unthinkable. In what can only be described as a stunning act of bravery, these bold Republicans " wait for it " passed a resolution that condemns socialism. Yes, you read that correctly. While Americans continue to grapple with high costs of living and an increasingly broken health care system " both products of reckless government intervention " your Republican House majority decided to expend what little "low t" energy it has on a useless resolution that basically says, "SOCIALISM IS BAD!" The entire charade was like watching Olivia Nuzzi try to dish out marital advice. Consider that many of the same Republicans who enthusiastically voted to condemn socialism have had no problem bankrolling Obamacare, fraud-ridden welfare…...

21+ hour, 37+ min ago (810+ words) When the first Thanksgiving took place, my family didn't have a heated home. They didn't have refrigeration or the luxury of running to Shop Rite for last minute fixings. They were actually fighting not only for their lives, but for something much greater than themselves " and of course the left is trying to destroy that very thing. The aid of the Wampanoag tribe was essential. They befriended the Pilgrims and taught them how to hunt, fish, and farm various crops that were new to the Englishmen. "And although it be not always so plentiful, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plenty," Winslow's account continues.

Things are very bad in Ukraine right now.

If you (er, your giftees) like little extravagances, fancy versions of everyday items, or simply good presentation, without dropping money on total dust collectors, this might be the gift guide for you. For the couple in your life spending their first Christmas as husband and wife, memorialize their wedding stationery by engraving their invitation text onto a serving or catchall tray. This pewter one from Croghan's won't tarnish like silver, but you could also peruse local thrift stores for donated silver platters and take one to a local engraving shop.
