Donald Trump Jr. may not be dating Kimberly Guilfoyle anymore, but that hasn't stopped his father from giving the former Fox News star a plum post in his new administration. In a post on X, Guilfoyle -- a former prosecuting attorney who led the fundraising for Trump's 2020 campaign -- announced...

President-elect Donald Trump has a message for the FBI director leaving Dodge before the new sheriff gets into town: Bon voyage, Chris Wray. In a social media post Wednesday night, shortly after Wray announced -- as expected -- that he was resigning before Trump could fire him, the president-elect called...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was roasted for posting a creepy Christmas video on X — addressed to his daughter Hope — that featured a shabby angel-tree ornament made of toilet paper. The hilarity unfolded Wednesday, when the failed Democratic vice presidential candidate showed off a scruffy Christmas tree decorated with...

Author’s Note: This article was sanitized to redact French language of Wayfarer (moi) which is worse when he is stuck in an office chair So India Time 4 am of Saturday 14-December me and a group of Musafirs will leave Mumbai and head to the meeting point at Rajasthan. Musafirs is a motorcycle group and I got patched in the previous ride in November 2024 after having first been on their trips back in 2022. There are a grand total of 5 riders from Mumbai. Sad, because it is such a beautiful destination at a great temperature of 10 degree Celsius with magnificent culture, food, vistas and history and people who are now accustomed to treating guests from India and abroad for over 1000 years. All fanboys in India and maybe elsewhere want to ride Ladakh and the typical Himalayan route—which is barren, nothing to see, nothing to do, nothing worth eating, no one to talk to, etc. Most boring and bland place glorified as Biker Heaven. What is there to drink? Tea with Yak milk…. see photo of a yak—-its milk smells like animal piss it seems. I love animals, I love milk, I ain’t ever drinking that. He is cute and huggable….until he offers you some tea…. North East is another great destination to ride—very diverse in culture, flora, fauna, incredible wildlife, tribals protected with constitutional rights by Government of India, mountains, valleys, waterfalls, rhinos, bordering Burma, Bangladesh and Nepal……. and that other entity we all call China. Somewhere in North-East India in December 2023 I can understand the hypnotism of Himalayan adventure….ever since summit of Mt Everest was reached……and probably recorded as reached first by non-local whwhereas the locals may have had people going up there for centuries…..but that’s up for a controversial, speculative debate. Myth and legend—as with all mountains. Sambhar Salt Lake in Jaipur, Rajasthan State in India An example: people tell me I am seduced and duped into Royal Enfield motorcycles due to the imagery and conditioning from society. Might be true. I was a young first time rider and reading Biker Fiction on Bikernet.com back in 2002 onward….so all I could call a big bike was an Enfield Bullet cast iron engine designed in 1955 and still sold at the time by India’s surviving Enfield company. The movies in India also show the macho heroes riding the Enfield, whether the super-cop or the anti-hero, the gangster-turned-savior of the small town or any misfits in society, etc. Mountain Roads of Jaipur Road to Mount Abu Clock Tower at Jodhpur So, maybe it’s okay to admire barren land with thousands of locations having road infrastructure related digging and construction going on ? Yeah, the Border Security Force wing of Indian military has to constantly repair or create these access roads for various purposes and needs of locals or immediate strategic needs. Might as well ride through any abandoned mining towns of North or South. LOLz. Okay, too much conversation and too less action…. “All this aggravation ain’t satisfactioning me,A little more bite a little less bark,A little less fight and a little more spark,Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me,” — Elvis Presley I will let my photographs speak for itself when I get to Rajasthan and imagery of adventures throughout the way there. I am thinking of not carrying my new latest Hero GoPro 13 Black because I see no utility in this expensive toy or rather I can’t figure out how to use it for any particular photo or video. Bloody useless compared to a modern Android mobile phone camera. Seriously! At least for me….or I am getting old in my enthusiasm for electrical gizmos. I wanna be able to carry my Nikon DSLR but on my dirt bike there is too less space and too much loaded luggage and me still weighing at 76 KG after managing to lose some of myself from an “August” weight of 83 KG. That’s good healthy weight loss in four months. Now I hope to only click photos of the many delicacies instead of eating through Rajasthan’s famous royal reception by the locals. Lend me a loaf and I will take a pound of cheese. So caveat emptor! I will photograph the luggage too. Lot of crap to be carried. Sharing a list from the boss of the riding team. Well, I can’t fit these on my motorcycle so I am gonna pack half of this and pray full-time. I am riding the XPulse dirt bike with only one tail-bag and one tank-bag and if it fits, then one tiny duffel-bag strapped somewhere as well. I wish I had the multipurpose Bandit’s Bedroll sold on 5-BallGarage.com or rather his new Commander Bedroll available exclusively through Bandit’s Emporium. I need to buy thermals as I have never needed them. I can sweat no matter what the month or location. I will need better bungees and some other cords. Let’s see. Packing this lot is one thing….but then to strap it on the motorcycle and untie it again during each night’s stay is a headache. Maybe I will get used to it and it will become fast, stress-free and easy. Why worry, when friends are here. And I have a genuine handicap. I busted my right leg ligament in the knee playing cricket of all things. Next time, I will stick to playing with words.

Joe Biden on Thursday issued the most sweeping one-day clemency in modern U.S. history by pardoning 39 Americans and commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 others. This is shortly after he pardoned his son, Hunter, who was convicted of tax evasion, wire fraud, gun charges, and so on. “As the President has said, the United […] The post Biden Pardons 1500 Criminals, Hillary Might Get One Soon appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

In the wake of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on December 4, “Wanted” posters with names and photos of Thompson and other healthcare executives were spotted around Manhattan this week. Disturbing TREND pops up in Manhattan. Video on TikTok shows alleged "wanted" posters for healthcare CEOs popping up in the Big Apple. This comes after UHC CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down in NYC. pic.twitter.com/CkWi8PdzdB — Resist the Mainstream (@ResisttheMS) December 11, 2024 “The posters warn that ‘HEALTH CARE CEOS SHOULD NOT FEEL SAFE’ and include ‘DENY… DEFEND… DEPOSE’ — the three words found on the bullets allegedly shot by Luigi Mangione, who is accused of gunning down Thompson outside a Midtown hotel last week,” The New York Post reported. A fundraiser for Mangione’s defense reportedly has raised more than $44,000. Not only that, a Mangione “lookalike” competition was held by some people in Manhattan. “The murder has also spawned a stream of merchandise sympathetic towards the 26-year-old being sold by online retailers, forcing Amazon to pull them from its website,” the Post noted. “Gifts like T-shirts, sweatshirts and other goods with ‘Deny Defend Depose’ have been popping up on websites like Amazon, TikTok and Ebay. Other Mangione-themed items with ‘Free Luigi’ written on them have been put up for sale for the killer’s admirers.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Some social media comments included statements such as, “Don’t care what anyone else thinks or says: Luigi Mangioni is a f***ing hero and I am VERY sad he got caught before he could dispense more justice. I hope someone picks up his flag and finishes his mission.” Another user wrote, “Heroes walk among us. Never forget Luigi Mangione.” Rob D’Amico, a former FBI agent, told People magazine that the investigation to find the alleged shooter was set back by people sympathetic to him, saying, “It was definitely hampering it. If one person sees them and recognizes them and doesn’t make that phone call because of it, that can harm [the investigation].” Referring to sympathy expressed for the alleged shooter, Leemore Dafny, a professor at Harvard Business School, called it “horrifying,” adding, “Some people have expressed that this is an unexpected consequence of a great dislike and distrust for the insurance industry. This is murder. This is not an expression of discontent with an industry.”

President-elect Donald Trump was named TIME’s 2024 “Person of the Year” on Thursday as the magazine highlighted his unparalleled “political rebirth.” The magazine reported Trump’s “first term ended in disgrace” and said “he was shunned by most party officials when he announced his candidacy in late 2022 amid multiple criminal investigations.” In his letter to readers, TIME Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs said it was not a difficult choice. “Since he began running for President in 2015, perhaps no single individual has played a larger role in changing the course of politics and history than Trump,” Jacobs wrote, adding that with how his first term in office ended, “the smart money wagered that we had witnessed the end of Trump.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Jacobs continued: On the cusp of his second presidency, all of us—from his most fanatical supporters to his most fervent critics—are living in the Age of Trump. He dispatched his Republican rivals in near record time. For weeks, he campaigned largely from the New York ­courtroom where he would be convicted on 34 felony counts. His sole debate with President Joe Biden in June led to his opponent’s eventual exit from the race. Sixteen days later, he survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally. In the sprint that followed, he outlasted Vice President Kamala Harris, sweeping all seven swing states and emerging from the election at the height of his popularity.  The magazine noted the stunning way Trump won the election: by increasing his popularity with nearly every voter demographic. In the end, he became the first Republican to win the popular vote in two decades, increasing his support in 90% of U.S. counties compared to the 2020 election. “For marshaling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-­generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency and altering America’s role in the world, Donald Trump is TIME’s 2024 ­Person of the Year,” Jacobs concluded.
