An Iranian military operative was charged by The Department of Justice with plotting to assassinate former President Donald Trump’s national security advisor John Bolton. According to court documents, the 45-year-old Shahram Poursafi of Tehran, Iran, tried to arrange the killing of Bolton in retaliation for the January 2020 U.S. airstrike that killed Iran’s top commander, Gen. Qasem Soleimani. Soleimani had been a key figure in Iranian and Middle East politics. He led a special forces unit of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard, and his death exacerbated already-high tensions between Iran and the United States and triggered concerns of retaliation from Iranian…

Alleging that investigators were accessing parts of former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence that they “shouldn’t have been,” the security cameras at Mar-a-Lago caught FBI agents behaving improperly during the raid, Eric Trump said. Because staff refused to turn off the surveillance cameras at the request of the FBI, the Mar-a-Lago cameras captured agents raiding areas that they weren’t authorized to, Eric Trump said in an interview with DailyMail.com. “There’s 30 agents there. They told our lawyer…’You have to leave the property right now. Turn off all security cameras,'” he recalled. At the time of the search, the former president…

Whole Foods CEO John Mackey had a major message about the state that America is in right now. “My concern is that I feel like socialists are taking over. They’re marching through the institutions. They’re…taking over education. It looks like they’ve taken over a lot of the corporations. It looks like they’ve taken over the military. And it’s just continuing. You know, I’m a capitalist at heart, and I believe in liberty and capitalism. Those are my twin values. And I feel like, you know, with the way freedom of speech is today, the movement on gun control, a lot…

The head of the Internal Revenue Service has declared that the agency that collects taxes will “definitely not” use $80 billion in new funds to ramp up the audits of low- and middle-income Americans. “The resources in the reconciliation package will get us back to historical norms in areas of challenge for the agency — large corporate and global high-net-worth taxpayers — as well as new areas like pass-through entities and multinational taxpayers with international tax issues, where we need sophisticated, specialized teams in place that are able to unpack complex structures and identify noncompliance,” IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig wrote…

Answers are being demanded by Senator Rick Scott, R-Fla., as to why FBI agents raided former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Scott tweeted after the news broke of the raid: “The @FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago is incredibly concerning, especially given the Biden admin’s history of going after parents & other political opponents. This is 3rd World country stuff.” “We need answers NOW. The FBI must explain what they were doing today & why,” he added. Even though Trump wrote he had been “working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies,” the FBI raided Trump’s estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and…

Although Congress is preparing to approve the new tax credits for electric vehicles, with the rules are written the way they currently are, it would effectively disqualify each and every electric vehicle that’s available on the market at the moment. With the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 being passed by the Senate, to be eligible to receive the newly expanded tax break of $7,500, it would require that batteries have at least 40 percent of their materials sourced from North America or a US trading partner by the year of 2024. Battery components should be 100% made in North America…

Despite Democrats pushing clean energy and what appears to be support for electric vehicles, this one company has already cut production by about 50%, said reports. After delivering just 679 vehicles in the second quarter, Lucid Motors, which produces popular electric cars, cut its production goal for the year nearly in half.

Former President Donald Trump now claims that the FBI blocked lawyers from watching the raid on the Mar-A-Lago residence and now hopes that FBI agents weren’t planting evidence in the building. The raid took place earlier this week after an investigation over 15 boxes of documents that people claim Donald Trump took from the White House, alleging that he took some documents that were marked as “classified.” New timeline details have emerged, watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrYawWOwTPw Trump denies this, of course, but the raid still took place after a search warrant got the FBI into the residence. Trump posted about…

Michael Brown was taken out by police eight years ago in the midst of a controversial struggle that has caused the right and left to battle on social media. This week was very sad as Democrats used Michael Brown’s name to push their agenda and gain themselves likes and retweets, a move many critics can say is quite disgusting and repulsive to use the man’s name in their own favor. It’s not like the Democrats pushing these statements actually cared about Michael Brown, they just care about themselves and want to use him as their personal beacon of their attention-seeking…

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that the conviction of Brittney Griner “further deepens the injustice” of her situation. This comes a day after the WNBA star was given a nine-year prison sentence for drug trafficking and possession of cannabis in Russia. “Nothing about today’s decision changes our determination that Brittney Griner is wrongfully detained, and we will continue working to bring Brittney and fellow wrongfully detained U.S. citizen Paul Whelan home,” Blinken stated. The sentence given to Griner was nine years in prison and a fine of 1 million rubles (approximately $16,700). The basketball star was arrested at…

The FBI arrested four officers involved in the March 2020 police raid that killed Breonna Taylor. Three are facing charges of violating the civil rights of Taylor which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, if convicted. According to the federal indictment, there were lies behind the raid on Taylor’s Louisville apartment. A warrant issued for the no-knock police raid that resulted in Taylor’s death should never have been granted, and “Breonna Taylor should be alive today,” according to U.S. Attorney Merrick Garland. He and Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke jointly made an announcement of the charges. Those include…

You’ve probably been thinking about hitching an Airstream to your electric truck and hitting the roads across the country. Before doing that, you have to understand this: a fully-charged 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck with the largest available battery will have a smaller energy on board than an F-150 with about four gallons of gasoline in its tank. The towing capacity of the Lightning varies from 5,000 to 10,000 pounds. Achieving the big number will require an XLT or Lariat model equipped with the extended-range battery option and the Max Towing Package, which boosts battery capacity and engine cooling.…

Jeff Bezos’ giant boat has departed a Dutch shipyard. The billionaire clearly wanted to avoid local attention, so he had it done when less people were likely to be around. The shipbuilding business Oceanco has been constructing the 417-foot Y721 in a shipyard in Alblasserdam, the Netherlands, for an estimated $500 million. According to the famous German publication Der Spiegel, it was towed to the Greenport shipyard located in Rotterdam during the early morning hours. The luxurious vessel became the center of controversy when Oceanco asked Rotterdam to dismantle the Koningshaven Bridge so that the yacht could transit through the…

In what could be criticized as one of the most illogical decisions in crime-fighting history, the poor attempt to combat rising crime in the city of Denver could be the one plan that ruins business for small food truck owners in downtown areas.

The cops were called and sent by Ron DeSantis, the Florida Republican Governor, to remove ‘woke’ State Attorney Andrew Warren of the 13th Judicial Circuit, who was backed by Democrat mega-donor George Soros, from office this week. DeSantis said in a statement: “State Attorneys have a duty to prosecute crimes as defined in Florida law, not to pick and choose which laws to enforce based on his personal agenda. It is my duty to hold Florida’s elected officials to the highest standards for the people of Florida. I have the utmost trust that Judge Susan Lopez will lead the office…

Liz Cheney is facing backlash from Wyoming voters who are calling her out. She once said: “In Wyoming, we ride for the brand, and our brand is the United States Constitution… So, I’m going to ask people for their vote. I’m going to work hard to earn that vote. But people need to know something about me. I will never put party above my duty to the country. I will never put party above my duty to the Constitution.
