During a White House meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino on the 2026 World Cup, President Trump expressed concerns over safety in Seattle under its new “very liberal slash communist” mayor-elect, Katie Wilson. Additionally, he threatened that if any issues arise, he would ask FIFA to relocate matches to a safer, more appreciative city. Responding, Infantino emphasized safety as the top priority, and noted record-breaking ticket sales (which he says reflect global trust in U.S. security. On social media, a conservative post highlighted Trump’s threat to move games due to the “communist mayor.” Seattle officials disputed these comments, claiming that…

In a disturbing sign of left-wing radicalism, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was interrupted during dinner at Reveler’s Hour in Washington, D.C., by CODEPINK activist Olivia DiNucci. The irritating activist mockingly toasted him, accusing U.S. sanctions under his oversight of constituting “economic warfare” which she claims will cause starvation and ~600,000 annual deaths worldwide. For context, Bessent responded by calling her “ignorant” and raising his own mock toast. Patrons booed the confrontation, and Bessent left the restaurant soon after. In a crowing statement, the left-wing protest group took credit for the disruption and repeated tired woke boilerplate. In any case, Olivia…

In a huge press release that it promulgated on Friday, December 19, the Trump Administration Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the successful conclusion of another major operation targeting child predators, this one named “Operation Relentless Justice”. The major crackdown saw over 200 kids rescued and nearly three hundred sickos locked up.

The city of Chicago, a notorious sanctuary city that has, for many years, been a safe haven for criminal illegals who entered the United States not only without permission, but with lengthy rap sheets, is facing its most difficult financial period in recent history. Things were bad before, but Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker may have put his signature down on a piece of legislation that could lead to total economic collapse. Pritzker’s bill, signed into law back in August, is being touted by many economists as one of the most financially reckless in the history of the state. The…

Posting on Truth Social, President Donald Trump went absolutely nuclear on United States Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), the woke Democrat elected during the wild and infuriating 2020 Georgia runoff election, bringing up old claims from Sen. Warnock’s wife that Warnock had tried to run her over with his car. That came after Sen. Warnock unfairly lambasted Trump on NBC, accusing him of corruption without bringing forward evidence to that effect. As background, Warnock said, in part, “And I do think that Donald Trump, if he’s better at something than anybody else, it’s dividing us. I think it is a distraction,…

According to a breaking RealClearInvestigations report, Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit Fair Fight Action paid over $20.2 million in legal fees to Lawrence & Bundy LLC, which was co-founded by her close college friend and former campaign chair Allegra Lawrence-Hardy. Most of the money went to fund a failed 2018 voting rights lawsuit against Georgia, which was dismissed in 2022 for lack of evidence of discrimination. Reacting, Ethics experts, including Paul Kamenar of the National Legal and Policy Center, flagged potential conflicts of interest, self-dealing, and excessive fees, given the state’s scant $6 million in defense costs. Additionally, Abrams and Lawrence-Hardy share…

In a major win for the GOP and conservatives everywhere, the House successfully passed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) bill to criminalize all gender-transition treatments for minors, including puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries, in a narrow 216-211 vote. Surprisingly, three Democrats joined most Republicans in support; four Republicans opposed it. On social media, Greene celebrated the victory, declaring children “NOT experiments” and stating “Congress must protect America’s children!!!”  Woke leftwing NGOs, such as the ACLU, condemned the bill as devastating to transgender youth and a dangerous precedent that puts politicians between families and doctors. In her initial comments posted to…

The Trump Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Fulton County, Georgia, seeking access to 2020 election records, a move that conservative commentators say could open the door to broader legal action tied to how votes were handled in the county. During a recent episode of The Absolute Truth, Emerald Robinson said the lawsuit follows years of resistance by Fulton County officials to turn over election data and comes after what she described as a significant admission by local election authorities. “I’d say there’s a lot of smoke and probably a huge election rigging fire at the heart of Fulton…

Journalist Liz Collin said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is facing intensified calls to resign as questions continue to mount over fraud in the state and decisions made during his administration. Chicago, Illinois USA – 08-21-2024: Democratic National Convention Chicago, United Center DNC 2024 – Day 3 Collin said Walz has made a series of moves in recent years that have drawn scrutiny, particularly surrounding how the state handles fraud investigations. “You know, it’s interesting.

Senator Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump is carrying out one of the most fundamental responsibilities of the presidency by actively confronting threats to the United States, including terrorism, economic dangers, and criminal organizations such as drug cartels. Rubio said the focus of the administration’s actions is not abstract political theory but the national interest of the United States and the protection of the American people. “Focus on regime this and this that the goal here is very simple, the national interest of the United States,” Rubio said. “The President United States was elected to protect the American people, to…

Glenn Beck raised concerns about public confidence in federal law enforcement during a discussion with Harmeet Dhillon, focusing on what he described as repeated investigations that fail to result in charges or trials. Beck said Americans are losing faith after years of high-profile probes that appear to stall without consequences. “Do you think that the people at the FBI and the DOJ in all levels realize that, because I know you do, do they realize how to the end the American people are that they’re starting to lose faith if we don’t start to see people at least charged and…

In a resurfaced clip, Alex Shieh, a rising junior at Brown University at the time, delivered sharp criticism of the Ivy League institution during congressional testimony, arguing that administrative expansion and soaring tuition have turned elite higher education into what he described as a luxury reserved for the wealthy. “My name is Alex Shieh, and I’m a rising junior at Brown University, one of the most exclusive institutions in the world. But I’m not here to glorify the Ivy League. I’m here to warn you that the promise of American higher education, of opportunity through meritocracy, is under attack,” Shieh…

President Donald Trump accused Democrats of being influenced by large insurance companies during remarks addressing the Affordable Care Act and the extension of ACA subsidies, arguing that financial ties prevent Democrats from acting in the public’s interest. Trump suggested that extending the subsidies could be accomplished quickly with Democratic cooperation. “Extend these ACA subsidies. I’d like not to be able to do it. I’d like to get right into this, and not ask Oz this question in particular, but I’d like to see us get right into this. I don’t know why we have to extend this. Could be done…

Republican Rep. Eli Crane of Arizona raised alarm during a recent interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson, citing testimony he said was provided to the House Homeland Security Committee regarding the number of known or suspected terrorists who entered the United States during the Biden-Harris administration.

Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk told attendees at America Fest 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona, that the organization is already focused on upcoming election cycles, including the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election, which she said will be a central priority for the group’s political arm.

Paul Burnett/AP PhotoNEW YORK—A judge Friday voided the conviction of one of the two men found guilty of the 2002 killing of Run-D.M.C. star Jam Master Jay, ruling that there wasn’t enough evidence that the man had a motive to kill the hip-hop luminary.The reversal, which came as the judge upheld the other man’s conviction, marked another stunning and confounding turn in one of the hip-hop world’s most elusive cases.

Bondi Beach is meant to be neutral ground. A place without history. A democratic stretch of sand where politics dissolves into sunlight, surf, and families pushing strollers toward the water. That illusion died when Jews gathered there to light Hanukkah candles—and were slaughtered for it. The massacre belongs to a broader pattern that has accelerated since Oct. 7, 2023: Jews targeted far from any battlefield, in the ordinary spaces of civic life. Synagogues, campuses, cafés, city streets—and now a beach—have become killing fields aimed not at a state, but at a people. The mass murder at Bondi did not occur…

Like most losing parties, after being beaten solidly in last November’s presidential election, the Democrats undertook a long and painstaking review to assess their failures, with the intention of correcting course before the midterms next fall and the race to replace Donald Trump two years after that. The Democratic National Committee invested millions of dollars and countless man-hours in its effort to learn what is broken in the party and to find ways to fix it before it saps their power even further. This past week, after much soul-searching, DNC Chairman Ken Martin announced that the post-mortem of the Trump-Harris…

There is an oft-heard warning to “keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.” Yet this advice is less than helpful if one does not hear and observe this lesser-stated but more urgent caution: “Know your enemy.” Those familiar with his work at the Tablet and appearances in Real Clear Investigations and The Federalist are well aware how veteran journalist Lee Smith has been identifying the foreign and domestic enemies of the American Republic and our constitution—a duty abnegated by far too many of the people who have raised a hand and taken a solemn, public oath to do…

The Department of Justice began releasing a massive trove of documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, but the rollout has quickly drawn criticism over the scope of redactions and lingering questions about transparency.The release comes after Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November, setting a deadline for the Justice Department to make all remaining Epstein-related materials public.

In a move that’s sure to rile up the progressive crowd, the Senate has confirmed former Rep. Anthony D’Esposito as the new Inspector General for the Department of Labor, signaling a tough-on-waste approach to government oversight, as the New York Post reports.This confirmation, part of a sweeping batch of 97 nominees selected by President Donald Trump, passed with a 53-43 vote late on Thursday after months of Senate gridlock. For American taxpayers, this is a win. D’Esposito’s role will focus on rooting out fraud and abuse in a department notorious for bureaucratic bloat, potentially saving millions in misspent funds that could…

Washington just dropped a bombshell that could reshape healthcare for young Americans.On Thursday, December 18, 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) unveiled proposed regulations to stop hospitals from offering gender-related medical interventions to children, targeting everything from surgeries to hormone treatments and puberty blockers. For parents across the nation, this is a wake-up call about the medical risks their kids might face, including irreversible effects like infertility and diminished bone density. From a conservative standpoint, it’s high time we scrutinize these practices—families deserve transparency on the long-term health impacts, not just promises from progressive advocates. Let’s keep…

Former President Bill Clinton once thought it was a grand idea to escort Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to a king’s wedding.Back in 2002, Clinton personally requested to bring the now-infamous duo as his guests to King Mohammed VI’s lavish nuptials in Rabat, Morocco, a move that has lingered in hushed Democratic conversations for over two decades.

President Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell that could shake up the medical landscape for millions of Americans.In a historic move from the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump signed an executive order to shift marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III controlled substance, aiming to acknowledge its medical potential while keeping recreational use firmly off the table.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

We’ve heard endless claims by the propaganda press and campus “protesters” that Islamic terrorists are oppressed, and “white” Christians are the oppressors. For example, recall how New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani famously suggested that the real victims of 9/11 are New York City’s Muslims because his “Auntie” felt like people looked at her funny while she wore her hijab on the train. Such fig-leafed fables can never cover up the horrific realities on the ground. Islamic jihadists’ intolerance for any coexistence with Christianity and Western values of civil society becomes starker every day. Most recently, we’ve had to grapple with…

Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, a Democrat vying for a U.S. Senate seat, has stirred controversy with sharp words for Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh.During a recent discussion, McMorrow vented frustration over the Supreme Court’s decisions, questioning their accountability and even joking about losing control if she encountered the justices in public, as the Post Millennial reports.

The Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) began as part of President Donald Trump’s attempt to circumvent big tech censorship, but has since sprawled into an array of unrelated industries to become a financier and driver of key digital age enterprises.Though known primarily for creating Truth Social, the president’s favored Twitter alternative, the company has since leveraged the money raised through its IPO to enter the crypto market, betting markets, nuclear fusion, AI, and streaming. “The Trump media, I always say, was not started because President Trump needed a company,” TMTG CEO Devin Nunes said on the “Just the News,…

China is exploiting the U.S. Department of Energy to access and divert taxpayer-funded research to bolster its own technological and military development, the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party warned this week in a report. The committee’s probe identified approximately 4,350 research papers, published between June 2023 and June 2025 that acknowledged funding from the agency and involved relationships with entities in China, including research institutions with close ties to the Chinese military.

An alarming and egregious case of a doctor putting profits over patients is centered on Virginia and an OB-GYN who charmed his way into families’ lives only to perform needless surgeries that scarred women forever, often at taxpayer expense.“It’s one of the worst patient abuse cases I’ve seen,” says Maureen Dixon, a special agent with the Health and Human Services Inspector General, who helped lead the probe that put the doctor in prison. She says Dr. Javaid Perwaiz was an “institution” in the Virginia area where he practiced for decades, but “unfortunately what he did was take advantage of that…

The U.S. Justice Department released thousands of documents on Friday related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. However, many documents were heavily redacted, causing outspoken frustration and calls for impeachment proceedings among lawmakers.The release follows passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act by Congress in November requiring the Justice Department to make publicly available “in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” related to Epstein.
