It is a commercial and political propaganda tool for the black political class, a cudgel to blame people for their own poverty, and a means of disappearing any critique of capitalism. Black Americans are besieged by many facetious notions […]

Dozens who have lost loved ones after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s controversial Covid-19 nursing home order gathered in Brooklyn to protest the politician, who recently wrote a book on his leadership during the pandemic. The protesters gathered in front of the Cobble Hill Health Center, a nursing facility, and demanded an apology from Cuomo for his highly controversial March 25 order forcing nursing homes to accept Covid-positive cases, a decision many critics feel was a large factor in the 6500 deaths in nursing homes during the pandemic.

The US Department of Justice claims the author of “Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady” breached her non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and that she failed to submit a draft copy of the book for government review. The DoJ filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against 49-year-old Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former White House aide and close friend of first lady Melania Trump, claiming the contents of her recently published book broke a non-disclosure pact. “The United States seeks to hold Ms. Wolkoff to her contractual and fiduciary obligations and to ensure that she is not […]

In 2016, then-Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump picked then-Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his running mate, shortly after the latter reportedly delivered a “vicious monologue” about Democrat Hillary Clinton, who was Trump’s opponent at the time. During the 2016 election campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly suggested that his eldest daughter Ivanka should serve as his running mate, according to a soon-to-be-released book by former deputy Trump campaign manager Rick Gates, a copy of which was obtained by the Bloomberg news agency. In the book titled “Wicked Game: An Insider’s Story on How Trump Won, Mueller Failed, and America Lost”, Gates specifically focused […]
Presidential niece Mary Trump has sued her uncle, his sister, and their late brother, accusing the trio of defrauding her of her rightful interest in the Trump empire – perhaps providing some insight into why she wrote her book. In a lawsuit filed on Thursday, the younger Trump declared her uncle and his siblings “siphoned millions of dollars from Mary’s interests” in the Trump real estate empire. “Rather than protect Mary’s interests, they designed and carried out a complex scheme to siphon funds away from her interests, conceal their grift, and deceive her about the true value of what she had […]

Halperin, whose “Sex, Lies and Dirty Money by […]

BOOK REVIEW BY BRIGADIER GENERAL SAMSON SIMON SHARAF OF VT Book WRITTEN BY MARIA RASHID It was a rude shock for the Indo-Western world when Pakistan’s Law Enforcement Agencies successfully defeated the terrorism insurgency meant to make Pakistan unstable to a point that UN intervention would become mandatory. Peace and development was brought to these unsettled areas in double quick time and political reforms executed, bringing frontier regions into the mainstream. This does not suit the instability trajectories crafted by the West to see Pakistan go down timidly. This hard reality pinches decision makers from Paris to London, Washington and Delhi and […]
While Ret. Marine General James Mattis was reportedly surprised by the question about anti-Daesh strategy directed at him by Ivanka, Donald Trump himself appeared “proud” by her move. Ivanka Trump expressed an interest in a certain aspect of the country’s foreign policy shortly after her father got elected president, The Mercury News reports, citing “Rage”, a new book by veteran American investigative journalist Bob Woodward. According to the newspaper, this particular episode occurred when retired Marine General James Mattis arrived at Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club on 19 November, 2016, where he was invited by Mike Pence to talk with […]

Bob Woodward, the famed Washington Post journalist who reported on the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s, was one of the first to publish a tell-all book on the Trump White House, with books of this type turning into an entire cottage industry and raking in hundreds of millions of dollars for authors and publishers. US President Donald Trump willingly sought to downplay the dangers posed by the coronavirus, and told Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward about it, multiple US outlets reported on Wednesday, citing written excerpts and an audio clip associated with Woodward’s new book, ‘Rage’. “I wanted to always […]
Trump “ritualistically belittled” Barack Obama “and then fired him,” according to CNN’s preview of a memoir by Michael Cohen. The anecdote apparently refers to an obscure parody video shot for the 2012 Republican convention. Cohen is a former lawyer of President Donald Trump, who has authored a tell-all book promising readers insight into how bad and unfit for office his former boss is. The White House dismissed it as “fan fiction” by a convicted liar trying to cash in on past ties with the president. But with the genre of Trump-bashing prose as popular as ever, ‘Disloyal: A Memoir,’ is pretty […]

The moment Joe Biden announced Kamala Harris as his running mate, great minds in Washington, D.C., went scrambling into action.

The Daily Beast has obtained evidence of Trump’s midnight oil brainstorming, providing a rare glimpse inside the thought process that guides such critical decisions (instead of, say, the pandemic, the economy or our country’s race problems).

If Kellyanne Conway really isn’t worried about the revelations in Mary Trump’s new book, Too Much and Never Enough, hurting President Donald Trump in the fall, she did a poor job of showing it Tuesday afternoon on Fox News. Fox host Harris Faulkner seemed loath to bring up the latest tell-all by the president’s niece that’s poised to rock Trumpland like none that came before it, waiting to bring it up until the interview was almost over. After reading aloud a particularly damning passage that covers both Trump’s “blatant racism” and lack of religious faith, Faulkner asked, “What is the reaction […]

Little is known about Hitler’s personal life. The leader of the Nazi party devoted his entire life to politics and only shortly before Nazi Germany surrendered did he marry his long-time companion Eva Braun.

According to the author, the course of history could have been different and Hitler himself might have been a different person had the young woman not died in 1931. Massimi says that although his work is a novel, […]

The House speaker echoed the former Trump aide who claimed in an interview last […]
[ Editor’s Note: Here are some highlights of judge Lambert’s split decision. While he ruled that the ketchup could not be put back into the bottle with 200,000 already distributed, Bolton would lose all the money from the publishing deal AND face criminal prosecution if US Intel says classified Intel was exposed. – Trump’s claim that every discussion with the president is classified seems to have fallen flat, as such a claim would block all insiders from ever being able to testify in court. Gosh, why would Trump want that? – “For reasons that hardly need to be stated, the Court […]

My apartment doesn’t have a pantry. Instead, I invested in some cabinets to hold everything that doesn’t belong in the fridge or freezer, from flour to popcorn.

A lot of recipes these days utilize ingredients you may not have in your pantry, which makes it especially difficult to cook when running out to the store may not be the easiest thing to do. Instead, why not make your cookbook do […]
