By Tyler Durden for Zero Hedge California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pimp shield law, pushed by Democratic legislator Rep. Scott Weiner, has helped foster a disturbing new sex market on Figueroa Street in Los Angeles, featuring prostitutes as young as 12 and 13 years old. For far too long, the “kiddie stroll,” as it’s known, has gone unreported because major media outlets refused to cover it, allowing it to flourish under the watch of Democratic politicians. But now it’s time to shine a light in the darkness and expose the truth about what’s happening to these poor young girls and why…
Step one: Rescue a key patent from the Deep State. LAS VEGAS — “From this day forward, it’ll be a policy of the United States to do whatever it takes to lead the world in artificial intelligence,” President Donald J. Trump told a technology summit in Washington, D.C. on July 23. Back in 2018, Trump 45 declared on Dec. 4, 2018: “My Administration will do everything possible to provide our children, especially kids in underserved areas, with access to high-quality education in science, technology, engineering, and math” (STEM). Gil Hyatt has a promising idea to help Trump fulfill last summer’s commitment and the one…
The moves spiked oil prices by more than $2 and sent major Chinese and Indian buyers of Russian crude looking for alternatives. U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has prepared additional sanctions it could use to target key areas of Russia’s economy if President Vladimir Putin continues to delay ending Moscow’s war in Ukraine, according to a U.S. official and another person familiar with the matter. U.S. officials have also told European counterparts that they support the EU using frozen Russian assets to buy U.S. weapons for Kyiv, and Washington has held nascent internal conversations about leveraging Russian assets held in…
Groups on the left know full well that allowing the enhanced subsidies to expire as scheduled wouldn’t cause a catastrophe for most families. As the government shutdown winds on, Democrats continue to hold the federal government hostage because, they claim, “premiums will double” if Congress does not extend Covid-era enhanced Obamacare subsidies. I’ve debunked that topic in detail here and elsewhere, but to quickly summarize the argument: 1) The federal government will still pay on average 75-80 percent of enrollees’ premiums if the enhanced subsidies expire. 2) Nearly half of Exchange enrollees currently pay nothing in out-of-pocket premiums for benchmark coverage, which the Congressional Budget Office and others have concluded has led to…
Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey filed a motion on Monday to dismiss the charges of lying to Congress brought by District Attorney Lindsey Halligan in the Eastern District of Virginia. Comey, however, has retained yet another one of his former leak recipients as a defense attorney, raising the question: Is there anyone on Comey’s defense team that he wasn’t leaking to? According to a 2019 Office of Inspector General report, in May 2017, James Comey sent four confidential FBI memos to his personal lawyer Patrick Fitzgerald, along with instructions to share the documents with two other lawyers: Daniel Richman and David Kelley. Fitzgerald…
President Donald Trump escalated his trade war with Canada Saturday, announcing a 10% hike on tariffs after blasting Ontario’s anti-tariff ad campaign as “fraudulent” and accusing the US neighbor of misusing Ronald Reagan’s legacy. Canada had been “caught, red handed” using “selective audio and video” of Reagan’s 1987 radio address in an ad opposing tariffs, the president wrote on Truth Social, claiming the move was designed to sway an upcoming US Supreme Court case on his authority to issue the levies. “Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Ronald Reagan LOVED…
Reclusive billionaire Timothy Mellon, a frequent financial supporter of President Donald Trump, made the anonymous private donation of $130 million to the U.S. government to help pay troops while the government shutdown continues, according to two sources said to be familiar with the situation. The New York Times, reporting the development Saturday, said the two people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the donation had been made privately, but identified the donor as the banking heir and railroad magnate. Trump, when announcing the money on Thursday night, named the person only as a “patriot” and a friend, and on Friday…

New York City mayoral candidate and radical Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani tried to paint his Muslim aunt as a victim of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks due to her fear of backlash for wearing a hijab. Mamdani addressed reporters and the Muslim community while speaking outside the Islamic Cultural Center of The Bronx on Friday, the New York Post reported. He accused his opponents, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), Curtis Sliwa (R), and Mayor Eric Adams (D) of stoking so-called “Islamophobia” and claimed his family were victims of anti-Muslim bias following the horrific terror attacks that shook the nation and the world. “In…
