Cognitive dissonance is in the air once again. Failed former Obama and Biden national security and foreign policy apparatchiks, Democrats in Congress, assorted globalists in Europe, pro-CCP influence peddlers, the European descendants of Neville Chamberlain, and the legion of legacy media talking heads have been doing their damnedest to undermine the long-delayed rescue operation of the Iranian people, who have been held hostage by a theocracy-driven autocracy since 1979. And that is exactly what Operation Epic Fury is: the rescue of the downtrodden and long-oppressed Iranian people from a tyrannical regime. Epic Fury is setting the conditions for true regime change…

Georgia voters can cast their ballots early for the May 19 primary races that feature a slate of heavy-hitters seeking state and federal offices beginning Monday.Georgia law requires candidates to receive 50% plus one vote to avoid a runoff, scheduled for June 16.

Ohio Democrats are celebrating a decision from the Ohio Supreme Court they say protects renters from unfair energy pricing practices.The unanimous decision classifies submetering companies as utilities, meaning they are now subject to the same state regulations as traditional utility companies under the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, or PUCO. The ruling affirms a bipartisan bill, HB 265, in the House which would close the loophole that allowed submetering companies to operate outside the bounds of utility regulations. The ruling effectively accomplishes the mission of the bill, with its crafters cheering the attention they were able to bring to the…

President Donald Trump survived two assassination attempts during the 2024 election, and Saturday night he was whisked away again from another lethal threat when a heavily armed gunman briefly breached a security checkpoint at one of Washington’s most famous black-tie galas and exchanged gunfire before being subdued by the Secret Service.But Trump would not recoil. First he wanted to return to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner before it was canceled, hoping to send a signal to a nation gripped by political vitriol and shaken by recent assassinations — from Charlie Kirk to Minnesota legislators — that “sick people” can’t “change…

U.S. House Republicans face a daunting legislative to-do list for the week ahead.The Department of Homeland Security has been shut down for more than 70 days, but House Republicans are still refusing to vote on Senate-passed legislation to reopen it until they see more progress on immigration enforcement funding. The Senate has already passed a budget resolution laying out the guidelines for a filibuster-proof budget reconciliation bill to fund ICE and Border Patrol for the next three years. Once the House approves the budget resolution, lawmakers can begin drafting the actual reconciliation bill. Yet that approval is far from certain,…

Kanye West has no issue filling concert venues. Getting into the venues … is another matter.Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame has far fewer problems. Yet both promote views that many deem deeply antisemitic. Waters denies the charges, while West recently apologized for his foul rhetoric. Their disparate careers speak volumes about the curious state of free speech in Western culture. The only consistent part is the inconsistency. West is attempting to rebuild a career devastated by his openly antisemitic screeds. The Grammy-winning rapper/producer/fashion template has struggled with mental illness for some time. That manifested itself in curious ways, initially,…

Federal courts are slamming the brakes on top-down efforts to mandate and inhibit gender ideology on impressionable children, ruling against the Trump administration and a prime antagonist days apart in lawsuits on regulatory procedure and free speech rights.Washington state’s requirement that Christian foster parents Shane and Jennifer DeGross affirm the gender confusion of any children placed with them as a condition of keeping their “unrestricted” foster license plausibly violates the First Amendment, U.S. District Judge David Estudillo wrote, greenlighting the core of their lawsuit against the Evergreen State. The President Biden nominee cited the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling against…

In a sign of the intensifying politicization of the federal judiciary, complaints of misconduct are flying in both directions. Liberal advocacy groups and Democratic lawmakers have targeted conservative Supreme Court justices and a Trump-appointed appeals judge, while the Justice Department under President Donald Trump lodged its own formal grievance against a prominent district court judge.  Yet, amid the crossfire, two of the most straightforward potential breaches of judicial norms – the repeated leaking of internal Supreme Court deliberations and a university’s decision to hire the judge overseeing its own high-stakes lawsuit – have drawn comparatively little sustained scrutiny. A Judiciary Under…

President Donald Trump was rushed from the head table at the White House correspondent’s dinner on Saturday night after gunshots rang out, prompting a massive evacuation of the nation’s top leaders from the annual dinner with journalists.

Saturday’s 2026 White House Correspondents Dinner was expected to be an unprecedented affair with President Trump and members of his Cabinet entering political enemy territory on liberal, elite media’s biggest single annual day of self-adulating slop. Trump later joked he had prepared “the most inappropriate speech ever made,” but he was unable to deliver it as a gunman tore through a security checkpoint just after 8:30 p.m. Eastern during dinner. In CNN’s case, they abruptly pulled out of a commercial break. Below are some of the big moments from CNN’s coverage of what was already going to be a history-making…

When I heard that Netflix was making a new Little House on the Prairie series, my reaction was, which one of them was going to be black and transgender.
