So the Transportation Security Administration decided to go viral this week by pointing out something most passengers already knew: protein shakes have to obey the 3-1-1 liquids rule, but solid foods — yes, even whole rotisserie chickens — can pass through airport security in your carry-on. The post read like a late-night punchline and suddenly […] More

President Trump’s recent moves on Cuba have the usual suspects declaring “invasion incoming” like it’s the latest streaming cliffhanger. Whether you see it as tough diplomacy or dangerous saber-rattling depends on your taste for risk — and your tolerance for communist regimes. The truth is simpler: the United States has every right to punish rogue […] More
The Supreme Court quietly hit the reset button on two high-profile Voting Rights Act fights — and one justice wasn’t thrilled. Instead of issuing a big ruling, the justices granted, vacated, and remanded both cases so the lower courts can take another look in light of the Court’s recent Louisiana v. Callais decision. That procedural […] More
Something strange and dangerous has been spreading through our cities: groups of teens coordinating online to swarm stores, buses, and neighborhoods. The footage is ugly, the victims are real, and the usual excuses — “kids being kids” or “economic hardship” — aren’t fixing the problem. The MAGA movement and Republican leaders are finally saying enough, […] More
President Donald Trump spent his White House podium time driving home a simple promise: lower the cost of medicine for Americans. At a live health care affordability event, the administration announced an expansion of TrumpRx to list more than 600 generic medicines, touted “most‑favored‑nation” negotiation wins and pointed to company deals like Regeneron as proof […] More
Rutherford County’s library fight has gone from policy debate to personnel firestorm.

The news that a suspect quietly surrendered to police in the fatal stabbing of a University of Washington student is welcome, if long overdue. Seattle police say a 31-year-old man who was sought in connection with the killing turned himself in to Bellevue officers and was transferred to Seattle detectives. The victim was a 19-year-old […] More
Guy Benson dropped a blunt observation on Fox’s weekend panel: President Donald Trump “might be looking for Iran to give him a reason” to “finish the military job.” It’s not a throwaway line. It’s the kind of plain‑spoken reading of presidential rhetoric that ought to make every American who pays taxes and, more importantly, sends […] More
Senator Mark Kelly just walked into a hornet’s nest on national TV. After a Pentagon classified briefing about U.S. munitions, he told Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation that it’s “shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines.” He named Tomahawks, ATACMS, SM-3, THAAD and Patriot rounds, warned replenishment would take years, and suggested […] More
Television is supposed to be a place for grown-up debate. Instead, we got a meltdown—live. A CNN panelist, Leigh McGowan, hit a high note of leftist theatrics during a debate about “taxing the rich,” then posted a follow-up video that somehow managed to be even more eyebrow‑raising. If you enjoy political theater, this is a […] More
South Carolina just watched a simple plan to redraw congressional lines stall at the state Senate. A vote to extend the legislative calendar failed to reach the two‑thirds majority it needed.

The Department of War just dropped a bombshell that has people from every corner of the country talking. Under President Donald J.

Call it Release […] More
The Georgia Senate Special Committee on Investigations just served subpoenas on Stacey Abrams, Lauren Groh‑Wargo and Nsé Ufot, ordering them to appear before the panel later this week. This is not a made-for-TV stunt; it grows out of a State Ethics Commission consent order in which the New Georgia Project and its affiliated action fund […] More
The fight over Virginia’s “lobster map” has just gotten uglier and louder. Attorney General Jay Jones took the unusual step of asking Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. to issue an emergency administrative stay at the U.S. Supreme Court. He wants the Court to pause the Supreme Court of Virginia’s 4–3 decision that voided the […] More
Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism Dr. Sebastian Gorka told listeners on a national radio show that the White House is finally cleaning house in the intelligence world.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has been in the headlines again, this time over a video that claims she owns a foreign mansion worth $5 million and is quietly spending time overseas.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has done something bold: he pushed back the deadline for his executive budget and said he’s now waiting on Albany to fix a roughly $5.4 billion shortfall. That is the news.

Senator Dave McCormick made a plain, tough-minded point at Breitbart’s “Harnessing American Power” event: when President Donald Trump sits down with President Xi Jinping on his China trip this week, American energy exports and artificial intelligence should be at the top of the agenda.

Governor Gavin Newsom quietly chose not to stop the parole of a convicted killer, and now a 75‑year‑old man convicted in a brutal 1974 murder is eligible to walk out of the California Men’s Colony. That decision — or deliberate lack of one — matters. It shows whose side the governor is on: the criminal’s […] More
Secretary of State Marco Rubio boarded Air Force One with President Donald Trump and headed to Beijing — despite China having barred him years ago. Beijing found a neat little bureaucratic loophole: change the Chinese characters used to spell his name, and suddenly Rubio is no longer Rubio. At the same time, a photo of […] More
Here’s the headline that should make Democrats nervous: NBC reports that former Vice President Kamala Harris privately told donors she supports releasing the Democratic National Committee’s secret “autopsy” of the 2024 campaign.
