As Israel exchanges Palestinian criminals and terrorists for innocent Israelis taken captive by Hamas during the 10/7 massacres, we learned that at least one American was among the freed hostages – a four-year-old little girl named Abigail Edan. Abigail’s parents were murdered by Hamas during the attack. This is welcome news, of course, and President Joe Biden took some personal credit for her release, but there’s an interesting co...

“The Department of Energy is being weaponized to reward the political supporters of the administration,” Peter Schweizer concludes on the most recent episode of The Drill Down. With the government poised at the brink of a shutdown last week, the Department of Energy (DoE) last week doled out another batch of “green energy” spending on projects in eleven states.

Count Peter Schweizer among the “doubters” of the Biden administration’s choice of former Commerce Secretary and major Democratic donor Penny Pritzker to lead U.S. efforts to channel private sector reconstruction assistance to Ukraine.

Founded by former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the foundation put its annual “Clinton Global Initiative” on a hiatus for a few years when their relevance ebbed and fundraising dried up, but their scandal-plagued charity has returned with a plan to provide humanitarian relief to warn-torn Ukraine, complete with a benediction from Pope Francis.

Censorship comes in many obvious forms, but the subtler type works by not showing you things that the censor doesn’t want you to see, or making it much harder for you to find them yourself. That, according to psychologist and Big Tech researcher Dr. Robert Epstein, is what Google is doing every day, but especially around election time. For the past eleven years, Epstein has studied what he called the “search engine manipulation ef...

Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer says the Department of Justice did President Joe Biden and his son Hunter a “massive favor” by appointing David Weiss to the rank of Special Counsel.
