Newsmax host Rob Schmitt raised a pointed question on the campaign trail: how can Democrats keep selling “affordability” while scandals like the Minnesota fraud cases chew through taxpayer dollars? This is not just talk radio hot air. Federal prosecutors have tied real crimes to these stories, and Schmitt used the facts as fuel for a […] More
U.S. Northern Command said it is repositioning “hundreds” of service members to the Rio Grande Valley after U.S. Coast Guard personnel came under gunfire while working along the river. The move, called Operation Unified Resolve, is a clear sign the military is stepping in to back up border agents and to discourage the kind of […] More
President Donald Trump told a room of Hispanic business leaders and supporters at a recent White House Hispanic Heritage Month event what many of us already suspected: migration politics are messy and nobody is ever happy. “You’re too tough” or “You’re too soft,” he said. Then he added the plain truth that drives real politics: […] More
The Cornell 7 story has exploded from a campus complaint to a full‑blown political spectacle. Governor Kathy Hochul has tapped New York Attorney General Letitia James to serve as special prosecutor after local authorities reopened the probe. That move has lit the match under an already hot mix of leaked files, social media fury, and […] More
If you felt a little sticker shock at the checkout this week, you weren’t imagining it. Two separate hits landed on Los Angeles residents within days: a county sales‑tax increase and a Metrolink fare hike. Voters deserve answers — not surprise bills and political shrugging. The double whammy: Measure ER and Metrolink fare hikes First […] More
President Trump’s showdown with the legacy media in Dayton was more than a rally quip — it was a raw, unmistakable rebuke of a press corps that has spent years lecturing Americans while manufacturing narratives. The moment when he singled out CNN and Kaitlan Collins and the crowd erupted in “fake news” chants captured an […] More

President Donald Trump has moved quickly to fill the gap at the top of the Army by naming Adam Telle as Acting Secretary of the Army after Dan Driscoll stepped down.

A short video of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying Democrats’ “ultimate goal” includes a path to citizenship for the roughly “11 million, or however many” undocumented people has been recirculating this week. The clip dates back to a press appearance in 2022, but it’s being amplified now by conservative accounts and campaigns as the […] More
Jesse Watters sounded an alarm the other night about the Republican approach to the 2026 midterms — and he wasn’t offering a cheer. The GOP faces a simple but brutal choice: chase purity and culture fights that thrill the base, or build a winning coalition that actually flips Senate seats and changes policy. The crossroads: […] More
President Donald Trump made it plain this week: he rejected Iran’s so‑called seven‑day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran put a timetable on the table through Qatari channels and the U.N., but Mr. Trump refused to be rushed into a deal that hands Tehran relief before behavior changes. This is the specific development […] More
Sen. Thom Tillis didn’t soften his words on CNN’s State of the Union. He told viewers that President Donald Trump “made a colossal mistake” by backing Ken Paxton over Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas primary. Tillis warned that the move has made the Texas Senate race far more expensive and far less certain for […] More
The Minneapolis Office of City Auditor just dropped a report that should make every taxpayer sit up. The Neighborhood Safety Contract Management Audit — covering January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2025 — found that the city’s rush to fund violence‑prevention programs after George Floyd’s death left oversight on the cutting room floor. This isn’t […] More
The short version: Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer just threw his weight behind Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell for Secretary of the Army. That endorsement matters. It isn’t theater. It is a clear signal from someone who has actually carried the load when lives were on the line — not from a lobbyist or a […] More
The Washington ping‑pong over who gets to stand in the White House and ride on Air Force One just got louder. Attorney General Todd Blanche went on ABC’s This Week and plainly defended President Donald Trump’s move to strip credentials from several outlets. That defense collided with a federal judge’s temporary order that restored those […] More
The CBS News/YouGov poll that landed this summer is the political story everyone is talking about. It found just 9% of Americans under 30 feel “very positive” about capitalism, while large shares of young people say they view “democratic socialism” favorably. The Democratic Socialists of America cheered the results, and a recent upset in a […] More
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is accused of turning City Hall’s influencer operation into a political weapon aimed at New York’s business leaders.

New analysis of the CDC’s 2025 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) has produced a surprise: fewer high‑school students now say they are lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB). The drop is not spread evenly. Independent analyst Jean M. Twenge’s breakdown of the raw YRBS file shows the biggest fall is among the youngest teens, especially ninth‑grade […] More
The Justice Department is quietly tearing up the old playbook for immigration courts. EOIR has been removing career immigration judges, loosening rules to appoint temporary immigration judges, and even tapping military JAG lawyers to sit on the bench. For those who like the status quo, this is the administrative equivalent of a budget-friendly demolition derby. […] More
President Donald Trump’s blunt praise for a joint U.S.–U.K. counterterror operation is the lead story tonight, and rightly so. Five men were arrested near RAF Fairford — a U.S.-used base — after police and bomb squads moved in. Photos of the suspects spread fast online, and some of those images were later flagged as likely […] More

The big news this week wasn’t another polling number. It was a long, on‑the‑record TIME Magazine interview with President Donald Trump — and the media cabal’s reaction to it. On MS NOW’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki, journalist and guest commentator Jim Acosta declared the president “just not all there anymore.” That sound bite tells […] More
The Senate Judiciary hearing that put former Special Counsel Jack Smith under oath exposed something that should alarm every freedom‑loving American: Senator Chuck Grassley released records showing Smith’s team collected thousands of personal donor checks tied to President Trump supporters. This disclosure — 4,782 checks spanning all 50 states — raises urgent questions about DOJ […] More
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito quietly stepped aside from the big climate case against oil companies this week. The court announced in a one‑sentence letter that he “will not continue to participate” in Suncor Energy v. County Commissioners of Boulder County. No reason was offered.

Another chapter in the great COVID loan bonanza has closed — at least one defendant has finally admitted guilt. A Riverside County man pleaded guilty this week in a scheme that bilked taxpayers out of millions meant to keep small businesses afloat during a crisis. If you’re tired of hearing about fraud after fraud, join […] More
Boston’s Immigrants Lead Boston program — run out of Mayor Michelle Wu’s Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement (MOIA) — is the subject of a new wave of controversy this week. Viral posts and conservative investigations point to a $575 completion “scholarship” paid to program participants, while the stated eligibility appears to limit the payments to […] More
Senate Republicans lit up the spotlight this week on what looks like one of the most brazen privacy raids in recent memory.

President Donald Trump told TIME he regrets nominating Associate Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett because, he said, “they voted against me too often.” The remark is a rare and raw admission that a president is disappointed by lifetime judges he put on the bench.
