  18-06-2023 23:58
  
  Something on the mind of every conservative in America is the question of why the Internal Revenue Service thinks it needs a military arsenal and millions of rounds of ammunition, and in the wake of a shocking armed raid the IRS just perpetrated in Montana, members of Congress are also asking those questions.
  On Wednesday, the IRS, along with the ATF and others, suited up nearly two dozen heavily-armed agents dressed in bulletproof vests and tactical gear to raid Highwood Creek Outfitters in Gre

  The agencies that make up the Deep State of the federal government have “turned a blind eye to Joe Biden,” Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky said.
  However, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee Chairman said his committee has more digging to do as it seeks the truth behind the Biden family’s financial dealings.

• Prince Harry and Meghan Mocked as 'Grifters' by Executive Under Spotify

  Bill Simmons, the Bostonian blogger-turned-podcasting mogul, had some choice (and vulgar) words for Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, after the couple’s unceremonious split from streaming service Spotify.
  For the unaware, on Thursday, news broke that Harry and Meghan’s much ballyhooed $20 million deal with Spotify was kaput.

  When Sarah Palin talks about media bias, she’s worth listening to.
  The former Alaska governor, former Republican vice presidential candidate and current conservative commentator has been on the receiving end of establishment media attacks as much as any American besides former President Donald Trump.
  And now, apparently, it’s Fox News’ turn to turn on her.

  An obvious statement of fact, but a statement of fact regardless: Not every MLB player will make the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
  Given that, it’s understandable that each MLB team hosts its own little version of a team Hall of Fame for those star players who mean so much to a franchise — but may not have the statistical accomplishments to make the Hall proper.
  It is, with all due respect, a rather rote and meaningless distinction that will typically mean more to a team’s fa
