A woman only identified as “Jane Doe” has come forward to claim that she was raped dozens of times between the ages of 14 and 16 by Ghislaine Maxwell. In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Jane Doe, who wishes to protect her identity, said Maxwell sexually abused her beginning in 1991 in Florida. She

So how are your Independence Day celebrations going thus far? Enjoyable, I hope, with lots of time with family, friends, and fun. If so, you might want to avoid looking at the Washington Post until at least tomorrow, because not everyone wants to see you in a joyous, celebratory or hopeful mood. The Post’s resident

To all of our readers, greetings, and congratulations on making it past the halfway point of 2020 and to Independence Day. As most of you have likely heard, the fireworks display and address by our President at Mount Rushmore went ahead after some early delays caused by protesters. The world stubbornly refused to catch on

The clip below is a few days old but still timely, as the Mt. Rushmore Independence Day festivities are set to begin around the time this post goes live. Kristi Noem’s disinterest in following social-distancing rules is the important bit but it’s Ingraham’s sneering air quotes around the words “health concerns” that tell us everything

Back in May Iran sent a convoy of five tankers carrying gasoline to Venezuela, helping the Maduro regime deal with a major gas shortage. At the time, the Trump administration was said to be debating how aggressively to respond. No direct confrontation of the convoy happened then but the situation changed dramatically this week when

In fact, pretty much skip everything lower courts told Alabama to do related to its upcoming primary in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Supreme Court ordered last night. On a stay issued with a relatively rare recorded vote, the justices blocked lower-court orders that would have forced Alabama to change its election rules with

What is at the top of the to-do list of every party planner? Refreshments, right? The most popular party treat is the cake. It doesn’t matter if it is a casual family birthday party or a formal wedding, the cake takes the spotlight. Costco is throwing cold water on all that, though, thanks to the

My, but Iran must have a lot of defective “industrial gas tanks” lying around. A week after Iranian officials tried to explain away a massive explosion at Parchin as a civilian-area accident, a large fire at Natanz might prove more difficult to dismiss. Natanz, like Parchin, is a site where the US alleges that Iran

Back at the beginning of June, District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser took it upon herself to rename a public street “Black Lives Matter Plaza” and ordered those three words to be painted in huge yellow letters spanning two blocks of 16th Street NW. This was an obvious sop to the protesters and rioters who

Via Derek Thompson, I wrote about one of the doctors responsible for this study (Silvio Belusconi’s personal physician, no less) a month ago when he claimed, provocatively, that the coronavirus “no longer exists clinically” in Italy. He and the other doctors who authored this study work at San Raffaele hospital in Milan, the heart of

When the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence published a draft of their Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 last week it created a lot of buzz, not just in the ufology community, but among more conventional, mainstream outlets. The idea of an unclassified report about intelligence that’s been gathered on UFOs (or UAPs if

Maybe Chris Cuomo should go back to interviewing his brother after all. On last night’s show, the CNN host interviewed Mark McCloskey, the man who drew his firearms when a Black Lives Matter protest allegedly knocked down his gate and threatened him and his family. McCloskey appeared with his attorney to discuss the incident, but

How could former First Lady Michelle Obama have graduated from such a racist university? She graduated from Princeton in 1985. Why didn’t Michelle Vaughn Robinson attend a historically black college or university? Now all she can do is praise Princeton for dropping Woodrow Wilson’s name from its public affairs school. Remember Michelle Obama’s thesis that

“I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive ability with the cognitive ability of the man I am running against,” he said today at a press conference, his first in three months. He’s really going there, is he? There’s no avoiding the issue of mental competence in this campaign, as you know if you saw

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner is not a man who approves of walls. He is a critic of President Trump’s efforts to build a wall at the southern border. But, when it comes to acting on his own frustration with business owners who don’t abide by Governor Abbott’s orders on mitigating the coronavirus outbreak, suddenly he

Houston Methodist Hospital CEO Marc Boom said on CNBC’s Squawk Box Monday that the spike in coronavirus cases in Texas is hitting the under-50 age group the hardest. This is a complete “flip” from earlier stages of the coronavirus pandemic. His message is in line with Governor Abbott and Vice-President Pence, who over the weekend

St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson finds herself in hot water after she held a live weekend event on Facebook. Mayor Krewson landed at the intersection of the coronavirus and the Defund the Police movement and it didn’t go well for her. The debacle began Friday when protesters showed up at city hall to demand that

China appears ready to further crush dissent within Hong Kong as its Standing Committee of the 13th National People’s Congress begins review on a draft of the security law. The government claims to need the secretive bill in hopes of ending unrest while also vowing the importance of toeing the societal line. “In the name

Concerns may run through Trumpland about a potentially major defeat in the upcoming election. POLITICO reported multiple people told them President Donald Trump realizes things aren’t going well. In the week since his Tulsa rally, the president has grudgingly conceded that he’s behind, according to three people who are familiar with his thinking. Trump, who

A federal judge ruled Friday that minor children being held for longer than 20 days with their parents in detention facilities must be released. The ruling affects three family detention centers in Texas and Pennsylvania operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The reason given by Judge Dolly M. Gee of the United States District

Say it isn’t so, Cleveland Brown. The producers of two long-running animated television series, The Simpsons and Family Guy, announced Friday they will no longer use white actors as the voices of non-white characters. This decision follows that of other entertainment companies. Netflix and Apple TV have been in the news for making the same

It seems like all of the mayoral candidates in Memphis think this matters and, presumably, that it matters to city voters. Why would the fact that the winner is almost always going to be a Democrat not matter? Don’t Democrats tend to have certain specific views about crime, policing, mass incarceration, etc.? Don’t Republicans have

The statue was supposed to come down last night. It did not, but reading through this thorough Examiner write-up of the gathering and what preceded it, you get the sense that it’s a matter of time before a serious attempt is made. The organizer of the tear-it-down group is Harvard student (of course) Glenn Foster,

A Russian GRU unit connected to assassinations around the world, including the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the UK, also offered bounties to Afghan militants for killing U.S. troops. The NY Times reports that the information was gathered from captured Afghan soldiers and was presented to the White House a few months

James Carville floated this theory last night on the same network. “I think there is a better chance Donald Trump does not run for re-election, than he is reelected,” Carville told MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour,” hosted by Brian Williams… “Zero chance he’s gonna be reelected,” Carville said again, suggesting that perhaps someone close to Trump

It may be that his train of thought got derailed here when Hannity interrupted him. Either way, he doesn’t answer the question. Asked what his top priorities for a second term are, Trump can’t name a single thing pic.twitter.com/fF6xXaDAy0 — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 26, 2020 It’s an important question too, and not just Trump

The release of the official guidelines for re-opening schools in Texas hasn’t gone as smoothly as expected. On Tuesday, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) decided to hold off in releasing its guidelines on navigating the upcoming school year, expected for that day. The hold up was due to the news of a spike in coronavirus

Fox News polls have become an “event” on social media because everyone understands that the president expects his favorite network to propagandize for him, and yet … Fox’s polling is routinely terrible for him and discouraging. A collective thrill runs through the media each time they release one: Wait until he sees this. I’m half-convinced

Should the US pick a new national anthem — and is the Star Spangled Banner too problematic in our woke times? It’s not a new demand, and in fact isn’t even a new argument, so it’s hardly surprising to see it emerge in the social unrest surrounding the police killing of George Floyd. Yahoo News

A new name has entered the field of candidates being vetted as a potential running mate for Joe Biden. Rep. Karen Bass of California has been asked to participate in the vetting process. By now I thought the list of women under consideration was dwindling but that’s not the case, as the addition of Bass
