Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is trying to win over Michigan voters by telling them his family's ties to the state go back to the 1800s. (snip) El-Sayed's parents came from Egypt, and this family is actually his stepmother's family, whom El-Sayed lived with while he was in college. So, no, his family's roots do not go back to the 1800s. (snip) "America is inherently racist, capitalistic, and an evil colonizer. Anyway, my family's been here for hundreds of years." That's what El-Sayed is saying.

Left-wing Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed has railed against doctors who don't accept Medicaid, arguing that they "discriminate" against "black communities" and perpetuate "long-held deep racism and structural racism." That criticism would apply to his wife, a psychiatrist who operates a private practice that does not accept Medicaid, Medicare, or any other insurance. In a June campaign video captioned "Clinics and hospitals can discriminate against you based on your health insurance coverage," El-Sayed lamented what he called America's "multi-class healthcare system."

President Donald Trump’s teleprompter operator is believed to have made “tens of thousands of dollars” through placing bets on the president’s speeches, ABC News reported Thursday. Gabriel Perez, who has been operating the teleprompter for President Trump since 2016, made the bets on the prediction market Kalshi. Perez is now in talks to settle the allegations the used inside knowledge of the speeches to “win more than $100,000,” ABC News reported.

Michigan Democratic Senatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed seems to me most notably a member of what Louisiana Senator John Kennedy has denominated “the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party, which is in control.” He also mirrors fake working class Dems (snip) Left-wing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed released two pages of his 2025 tax return showing $686,069 in total income, including $292,000 in “additional income” and $262,000 in capital gains, placing him in the top 1 percent of Michigan earners. But the return does not reveal the sources of that income because El-Sayed released only the first two pages, omitting the remainder that would provide further detail.

Left-wing Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed is running as a populist who rails against the wealthy. At the same time, he's been photographed on the campaign trail wearing an array of luxury watches (snip) He even earned a shout-out from a watch podcast the same month for "rocking what looks like the Sinn U-1 SE," a German diver's watch that costs roughly $4,000. (snip) El-Sayed appeared to wear a pricier Omega—the Speedmaster Moon Phase Chronograph, worth roughly $10,000—in a June campaign video. And he donned a Mühle Glashütte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer, a German nautical watch worth nearly $2,000, while "getting ice cream in Grand Haven, MI."

Former President Joe Biden’s announcement of a forthcoming memoir drew swift mockery from conservatives Wednesday, with critics reviving questions about his health, age and use of an autopen during his presidency. "This guy couldn't even sign his own name. He's not writing books. LMAO," wrote former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt on X. "Politicians write books to launder money. Nobody wants to read this, but the corrupt NGOs he provided for as President will buy up 100K copies and burn 'em to hold up their end of the bribes,’" the former reality TV star added.

Writer E. Jean Carroll collected over $5.6 million that a jury awarded her in 2023 in a civil verdict against President Donald Trump. Carroll alleged Trump had sexually abused her in the dressing room of a luxury department store in Manhattan in 1996. Trump's attorneys have filed another appeal seeking to stop or reverse the payment, the Associated Press reported, and they vow to keep appealing. “We are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment,” Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, said in a statement.

James Cox Chambers Jr., a prominent US billionaire and activist, was detained in Ibiza under an international warrant. (snip) Chambers Jr. is closely linked to Cox Enterprises, a major US conglomerate with interests in media, automotive, and investments. (snip) The party argues that the warrant is politically motivated, allegedly stemming from the Trump administration’s stance on Chambers Jr.’s left-wing activism and his support for the Palestinian cause. (snip) According to sources close to Chambers Jr. and his supporters, the warrant reportedly accuses him of international money laundering to support terrorist organizations, with potential charges carrying up to 30 years in prison.
The Absurdity of the Hunter Biden Defamation Case 11 replies

I have taught torts, including defamation for over 30 years, but I have never seen the like of the Hunter Biden defamation case. The defendant made defamatory statements and then just refused to appear. That led to an equally bizarre $1.7 million award by U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson of the Central District of California to Biden, consisting of just $1 in nominal damages and the rest in punitive damages. Here is the most interesting line of the opinion: “the damage to Plaintiff’s reputation is difficult to calculate.” It may be the single greatest understatement in the history of judicial opinions.

Back in May, the Cambridge, MA City Council voted to end the city's participation in the ShotSpotter program, a network of microphones that alert authorities to gunshots. It not only helps police catch criminals, it helps first responders locate and save the lives of victims. The woke Leftists on the City Council did it to protect migrants and Black community members.

COVID-19 vaccine injures are so common many of the legislators who pushed them have also been severely injured—but still won't admit it. This culture of silence around these injuries must end. One of the things which has always fascinated me about the world is how certain invisible laws govern the “spontaneous” events that occur around us (e.g., radioactive decay).(Snip) When the COVID-19 vaccines were initially released, I had a large number of patients immediately show up with “moderate” reactions to the COVID vaccines, with many of them stating something to the effect of: “I have gotten a flu shot for years and I have never experienced anything like this.”

Things just keep getting worse for the Democratic Party, and at this rate, they may need a new metaphor because "keeps getting worse" barely covers it anymore. We already told you the polls are tightening heading into the midterms in November, which was bad enough on its own. Now it turns out the party's situation is so much worse than we already know, and the people running the show apparently don’t want you to know just how bad it really is In a bizarre move, the Democratic National Committee required its senior leadership to sign non-disclosure agreements before a private meeting on the party's finances, according to

It turns out that the “conspiracy theorists” weren’t so crazy after all. President Donald Trump says that foreign governments and corrupt domestic bureaucrats have so compromised our election system across the country that it is worse than a Third World banana republic. “No country could be great without fair and honest elections,” Trump insisted during his Thursday night primetime address. “You have to trust your country because if there can be no trust, there can be no greatness, and that's very simple: no trust, no greatness.” Unfortunately, according to him, between our enemies around the world like the Chinese and Iranian regimes and their collaborators in the American media and

Pakistan's Supreme Court quashed the sentences of three individuals convicted of murdering a Christian man and his pregnant wife — Shahzad Masih (26) and Shama Bibi (24). The couple was burned to death after being thrown into a brick kiln. The incident occurred on Nov. 4, 2014, in Punjab's Kasur District. Masih and Bibi, who worked as laborers at a local brick factory, were falsely accused of desecrating pages of the Quran. The brick kiln owner reportedly prevented the couple from fleeing due to a financial dispute. A local Islamic prayer leader used a mosque loudspeaker to incite a crowd against them. A mob of over 1,000 people then converged

President Donald Trump's Thursday speech to the nation was short and compact. The new teleprompter person was a bit rusty, but he pulled it off without too many hiccups. As expected, the hiccups came from Democrats and the NeverTrumpers, who had already decided what the substance of the speech would be before Trump even uttered a word. The takeaways from the Democrats and the Left: Trump is a raving lunatic and is setting the stage to steal the 2026 midterms. And they accuse Trump of being a conspiracy theorist?

A former Marine who attracted attention to his Florida write-in congressional campaign with an explicit assassination threat against Donald Trump is now in handcuffs. The U.S. Department of Justice announced on July 16 the arrest and charging of Jacksonville’s William L. Upham. It is illegal to make an explicit threat against the life of the president of the United States, and that is just what Upham did. Upham already appeared in federal court and is still being detained. He could be looking at five years in federal prison if the feds secure a conviction. Given the three nearly successful attempts on Trump's life already, the feds cannot afford to dismiss

The fast-food drive-thru was not born in California. But the idea was perfected by California cultural icon In-N-Out, which is fitting because the double-double chain has become the main villain in Culver City’s effort to ban drive-thrus. Red’s Giant Hamburg on Route 66 in Springfield, Mo., was likely the first drive-thru restaurant in the country, says the American Automobile Association, serving customers as early as 1947. But In-N-Out created a year later “the drive-thru as we know it today, complete with an intercom ordering system,” at its Baldwin Park restaurant, which had “only enough room for the cooks.”

The State Department is considering requiring some green card applicants to hand over thousands of dollars in the Trump administration’s latest bid to ensure new arrivals to the US can support themselves. Some officials have floated making would-be legal permanent residents submit a $100,000 bond if applying at a US consulate overseas, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Others said the deposit amount could fluctuate depending on individual cases.Green card holders would likely be repaid upon becoming US citizens, a process that takes at least five years. “President Trump has made clear that those who wish to immigrate to the United States must be financially self-sufficient,”
