Governor Gavin Newsom announced this week that federal agents have been asking questions around his circle and his office has filed a Freedom of Information Act request seeking Department of Justice records. He calls it political targeting. The White House and DOJ have not publicly said the president ordered any of this. The story matters […] More

Law enforcement says it stopped something that could have been a nightmare on the South Lawn. The FBI announced a multi‑state operation disrupted an alleged plot aimed at the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House — a plan prosecutors describe as multi‑phase, involving explosive‑equipped drones and a follow‑up ground assault. Officials say multiple […] More

The White House went on lockdown this evening after what sounded like gunshots near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW — the block that sits like a throat to the presidency.

The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division dropped a bomb this week on UC Davis School of Medicine: a formal finding that the school discriminates on the basis of race in its admissions process. This is not a gentle nudge — the DOJ says Davis Med deliberately used race‑correlated tools to shape who gets in. […] More

The Swiss referendum to put a constitutional cap on the country’s population has come up short, but don’t tell that to the winners. Voters rejected the SVP’s 10‑million cap by a clear margin, yet the Swiss People’s Party is already treating the roughly 45 percent “yes” vote as a mandate to keep pushing for tighter […] More

President Donald J. Trump just signed a proclamation that reopens huge swaths of protected Pacific waters to American commercial fishing. The move is being billed as a win for jobs, American seafood and supply-chain security. Predictably, it also hands conservation groups a new lawsuit to argue about — because what else are they going to […] More

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced this week that he and his wife, First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, are the subjects of a Department of Justice inquiry.

The Collin County jury returned a guilty verdict and a 35‑year sentence for Karmelo Anthony in the fatal stabbing of 17‑year‑old Austin Metcalf. That outcome has set off a storm of reactions — none more theatrical than Cardi B’s public meltdown on X and an extended X Spaces session. Celebrity outrage is nothing new, but […] More

Senator Susan Collins formally locked up the Republican nomination in Maine’s Senate primary this week by running unopposed. That simple fact matters a lot more than the usual primary drama.

The South Carolina governor race has been jolted by an ugly incident that should concern every conservative who believes in law and order. A man publicly tied to Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette’s campaign was arrested after a recorded confrontation with a supporter of U.S. Representative Nancy Mace, and because President Donald Trump recently endorsed Evette […] More

Washington is in the middle of one of those stories that sounds like it was cooked up in some backroom pressure‑cooker: a draft memorandum of understanding reportedly speaking of roughly $300 billion for “reconstruction” or investment in Iran, and competing claims about a separate $24 billion in frozen assets. The numbers are big enough to […] More

Vice President JD Vance gathered state attorneys general for a White House roundtable on the administration’s anti-fraud task force, and what should have been a bipartisan push to stop theft from taxpayers instead turned into a partisan hand wave. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita showed up and spoke bluntly on Newsmax, defending aggressive fraud enforcement […] More

The scenes from north Belfast were the stuff of nightmares: a brutal knife attack caught on video, a man left fighting for his life, and then masked mobs setting fire to cars and homes while police tried to claw back order. If you want a neat, comforting explanation for why Britain is fraying at the […] More

Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin told CNN’s State of the Union that President Donald Trump wants to “tie the entire Middle East into the Abraham Accords.” That is a bold pitch — and it deserves both applause and a little practical scrutiny. The idea is simple: more normalization, more trade, less war. It sounds […] More

Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax, took to Rob Schmitt Tonight to do two things: defend President Donald Trump’s economic record and remind viewers that his network is not fading into cable-TV oblivion.

The Texas Department of Public Safety says one of its brush teams in Starr County rounded up a group of people who had slipped across the Rio Grande and were headed into the interior. A DPS spokesman posted photos and a short account on social media that named a “Special Interest Alien” from Russia among […] More

The Colorado Supreme Court just decided that a statute that says nothing about secrecy actually guarantees secrecy. Call it judicial origami: fold the words until they say what the court thinks they should. The result was a 5–2 ruling that parents who surrender newborns under Colorado’s Safe Haven law are entitled to anonymity — even […] More

Rep. Mike Collins has claimed the Republican nomination in the Georgia Senate runoff and will take on Senator Jon Ossoff this November. Voters in the Peach State handed the nod to a Trump-aligned conservative over the governor-backed challenger, setting up a high-stakes race that national strategists are already circling like vultures over a big game […] More

President Donald Trump and Pakistani mediators say a U.S.–Iran peace framework is in hand — and markets reacted like a referee’s whistle at the end of overtime: oil prices fell and U.S. stocks jumped. If true, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and taking the war-risk premium off the table would be huge for energy markets […] More

The U.S. Supreme Court has quietly left in place an unusual, high‑stakes standoff inside the federal judiciary. By denying review of Judge Pauline Newman’s petition, the Court has allowed a suspension that keeps a Reagan‑appointed Article III judge off new cases to remain intact. The move ends one legal road for Newman and leaves bigger […] More

An alleged Iran revenge plot that reportedly targeted Ivanka Trump’s Florida home has jolted the nation and made the Soleimani story personal again.

For patriotic […] More
