In the wake of Virginia, which is now ruled by the far-left Democrats, moving to redraw its congressional map and destroy numerous Republican seats in the United States House of Representatives, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance excoriated Rod Bray, the Indiana Senate leader responsible for his state not handing two seats to Republicans, for betraying the country and letting Democrats gain an advantage. As background, Republicans across the country have pointed to a slew of Democrat-controlled states that have significant shares of Republicans within them but give those Republicans no representation through House seats as a reason…

After weeks of stalling, the Senate finally confirmed Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense in a narrow 51-50 vote, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tiebreaking vote after three Republicans, including Sens. Mitch McConnell (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), and Susan Collins (ME), crossed the aisle and joined Democrats in their opposition to the president. Before the vote, infamous RINO Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) allegedly told Pete Hegseth’s ex-sister-in-law, Danielle Hegseth, during a January 19 phone call, which was witnessed by two others, that her sworn statement alleging Pete Hegseth’s alcohol issues and abuse toward his second wife would sway…
In a viral post to social media, prominent conservative commentator Danielle D’Souza Gill shared on X that reality TV star Faye Chrisley, famous for playing Nanny Faye from Chrisley Knows Best, declared that First Lady Melania Trump the “prettiest First Lady” the U.S. has “ever had,” adding, “I thought Jackie was at one time, but she got knocked out of the saddle by Melania.” Additionally, Gill praised America for being blessed with Melania. These comments sparked enthusiastic agreement among conservative users, who hailed Melania as the most beautiful, elegant, classy, intelligent, gracious, and poised First Lady in history. Many of…
For years, Washington has warned about the Chinese Communist Party’s long-term strategy to dominate global technology, data, and information flows. What has not received nearly enough scrutiny is how willingly major American technology companies have accommodated that strategy, often at the expense of our values, our laws, and U.S. national security. American investors, large and small, public and private, are complicit, either begrudgingly or willingly supporting these companies’ endeavors. Ignorance is never an excuse. This is not speculation. It is documented behavior. Take Apple, one of the most valuable companies in the world. Apple has deep manufacturing ties to China,…

Christians in Syria are choosing to “hide Christian symbols and avoid public displays of faith” following the collapse of the Assad regime and ascent of the al-Qaeda offshoot Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) to power, Ryan Brown, the CEO of the Christian human rights organization Open Doors, told Breitbart News in remarks this weekend. Brown answered questions in the context of the release of Open Doors’ annual World Watch List for 2026, which meticulously tracks the threats that persecuted Christians face around the world and ranks the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian. Its research estimates that…

This Tuesday marks one full year since Donald Trump has been back in office, and the elitist media have spent the last 12 months screaming at their audiences that the “authoritarian” and “racist” President is a “fascist” dictator who is using his power to trample rights and cancel the next election. There were a ton of crazy quotes to sort through over the last year, but the following are 20 quotes that are representative of all the rage and insanity spewed against Trump and his supporters over the past year: The Germans Voted for Hitler Too Co-host Joy Behar: “This…

Recent figures released by the Illinois Gaming Board reveal a sharp decline in sports betting activity across the state. In Sept. 2024, Illinois introduced a new tax structure: $0.25 per wager on the first 20 million bets handled by each sportsbook, with the rate rising to $0.50 per wager beyond that threshold. In reaction to the policy change, the state’s two dominant sportsbooks — FanDuel and DraftKings — implemented a standard $0.50 surcharge on customer bets, effectively shifting the cost of the tax directly onto bettors.When comparing Sept. 2024 to Sept. 2025, the total number of bets made in Illinois…
Pennsylvania is hemorrhaging residents and resources. And it’s been happening for years. The recent U-Haul Growth Index shows that people are voting with their feet against Pennsylvania and other purple and blue states that have become inhospitable as places to live, work, and raise a family. And these out-migrators are heading to redder states that welcome them. In 2025, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee topped U-Haul’s ‘in-migration’ states, measured by one-way customer moves. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania ranked an abysmal 44th. The impact of losing friends and families—and their wealth—to other states should be the canary in the coal mine for Pennsylvanians getting…
By the time this piece publishes, the United States military might already have launched air strikes on Iran. Indeed, planes could be launching while I write this. Nevertheless, here is a list of seven reasons why our government should not intervene in the Middle East. 1) It has never gone well. That is unlikely to change now. In 1953, the CIA overthrew the elected government of Iran to help the British more easily extract oil. We then installed the Shah, whom lots of Persians didn’t like. That problem came to a head in 1979 with the Shah being deposed and…
Following a recently taped interview between President Donald Trump and CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CBS News personnel that Trump expected the full conversation to be broadcast without cuts, and if it wasn’t, the network would be sued.According to an audio recording obtained by The New York Times, the exchange occurred after Trump’s interview with the network in Michigan. “Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape,” Leavitt said. “If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your ass off.” Dokoupil replied, saying, “Yeah, we’re doing it, yeah,” and someone else said,…
President Trump called for “new leadership” in Iran as the regime’s crackdown on protesters turns deadlier by the day. That may sound like tough talk, but it is far different when your phone and social media feeds are full of verified footage: body bags, morgues, and families searching rows of the dead.America should say, clearly and unapologetically, that the Iranian people deserve a future without the Islamic Republic — and Tehran should stop assuming Trump only talks. When he plays “will he or won’t he,” he sometimes does. Iran knows this best; they got bombed after months of Trump talking about deals.…
A Minneapolis protester allegedly stole a pricey camera from conservative provocateur Nick Sortor — who chased down the suspected thief and was dragged by her car as it swerved onto the sidewalk, according to shocking video.In a post shared on X, Sortor said the woman was part of a group that followed him and his crew around the Twin City all day — until one of them boldly snatched his camera out of his hand while he was driving down the street. “What did she just do?” one of his companions asked as Sortor’s car came to an abrupt stop.…
Ramping up the pressure in the diplomatic feud over the future control of Greenland, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he will impose a 10 per cent tariff on eight European nations for their opposition to America acquiring the territory.Casting Greenland as essential to American national security and international stability, President Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that “world peace is at stake”, warning that “China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it.” Quipping that Copenhagen only has “two dogsleds” to protect its arctic territory, which it has controlled…
Tom Brady might be set to make the ultimate Sin City gamble. The Baltimore Ravens sent an unmistakable signal by parting ways with head coach John Harbaugh: the organization is ready for a significant reset.Entering the season with high expectations as one of the AFC’s premier contenders, Baltimore ultimately fell short due to a disappointing defensive performance, several head-scratching coaching choices, and recurring injuries to star quarterback Lamar Jackson. With no new contract extension in place and a track record of health setbacks, uncertainty is beginning to surround Jackson’s long-term status with the franchise. (RELATED: Broncos’ Bo Nix Out For…

Imagine waking up to find you’ve been signed up for health insurance you never wanted, all while taxpayers foot the bill.Paragon Health Institute, a healthcare policy group, has reported that as many as 6.4 million Americans may have been unknowingly enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans, often through brokers offering incentives like gift cards. The group estimates that by 2025, this number reflects millions more than are actually eligible for these zero-premium plans, which are fully funded by taxpayer subsidies. Brian Blase, president of Paragon Health Institute, has highlighted systemic issues in federal-state funding structures, pointing to potential fraud…
On Saturday, Trump revealed via a Truth Social post his intention to sign an executive order securing a dedicated four-hour broadcast window for the Army-Navy game in December.This move comes as the NCAA pushes to expand the College Football Playoff, raising concerns about potential conflicts with the game’s traditional slot. The announcement follows Trump’s attendance at the 126th Army-Navy game on Dec. 13, 2025, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, where Navy edged out Army 17-16 and claimed the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy. The issue has sparked debate over the balance between tradition and the commercial interests driving college sports. Many see…
In a decisive move, the U.S. military has taken out a dangerous al-Qaeda leader in Syria, sending a clear message to terrorist networks.On Saturday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that Bilal Hasan al-Jasim, an experienced al Qaeda operative, was killed in a targeted strike in northwest Syria on Friday. CENTCOM identified al-Jasim as having direct ties to an ISIS gunman responsible for a deadly ambush on Dec. 13 in Palmyra, Syria. That attack claimed the lives of two Iowa National Guardsmen and an American interpreter, marking a tragic loss for U.S. forces and their partners. Targeted Strike Sends Strong Message…
The Supreme Court has stepped into a high-stakes legal battle over Bayer’s popular weedkiller, Roundup, with a decision that could impact thousands of cancer-related lawsuits.On Friday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal from Germany-based agrochemical giant Bayer, which seeks to block numerous state lawsuits claiming the company failed to warn users that Roundup could cause cancer. The court will examine whether the Environmental Protection Agency’s approval of Roundup without a cancer warning preempts these state-level failure-to-warn claims. Bayer, which acquired Roundup maker Monsanto in 2018, argues for federal protection against the ongoing litigation. The debate has ignited sharp…

The Trump administration has unveiled a bold plan to reshape Gaza’s future, demanding a hefty $1 billion commitment from nations seeking a permanent seat on a proposed “Board of Peace.”The initiative aims to establish a board to oversee postwar governance, security coordination, and reconstruction in Gaza. President Donald Trump is set to serve as the inaugural chairman of this body. The plan, discussed with U.S. allies and regional partners, comes amid diplomatic efforts to stabilize Gaza after the Israel-Hamas conflict, with a United Nations Security Council resolution endorsing the framework and authorizing an international stabilization force.

A federal judge has stepped in to stop the Trump administration from pulling tens of millions in food stamp funding from Minnesota, a move that has sparked heated debate over fraud and federal overreach.On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Laura M. Provinzino issued a temporary order blocking the administration from withholding funds for Minnesota’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) while a lawsuit from the state remains pending. The decision prevents the suspension of funding for the first quarter of 2026, which Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins had threatened to cut last Friday. This ruling comes amid allegations of widespread fraud in Minnesota’s…
The “Stop Asian Hate” movement began when a violent criminal assaulted an 84-year-old Thai man on a San Francisco street. Wokes quickly rushed to divert attention from the perpetrator in this case, a black man, to Trump supporters, while pretending that ‘Stop Asian Hate’ had something to do with white people attacking Asians despite the fact that the preponderance of the cases of assaults on Asian people were a whole lot like Antoine Watson’s assault on 84-year-old Vicha Ratanapakdee. That was back in 2021. 5 years later, a San Francisco jury acquitted Watson of the killing of the 84-year-old man.…
New England states pay the highest electricity costs in the continental U.S. Except for New Hampshire, New England states also have some of the most aggressive net-zero emissions policies in the country, which aim to reduce emissions from electricity generation by 80% by 2050. To reach that goal, about 71% of New England’s energy will have to be generated from wind, solar and batteries. A new study by a coalition of free-market think tanks finds that New Englanders would save as much as $708 billion if it instead supported its grid with new natural gas plants, which would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by…
The Biden administration grappled with research suggesting natural immunity was more effective than COVID-19 vaccination shortly before federal vaccine mandates in 2021, admitting the rigor of the massive Israeli study and worrying it might undermine its promotion of one-size-fits-all vaccination, newly released emails show.The Freedom of Information Act production to Protect the Public’s Trust, shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, gives the most compelling evidence to date that federal officials knew their pending mandates were scientifically shaky yet repeatedly asserted in public – misrepresenting federal research – that natural immunity couldn’t match vaccine-acquired immunity. The emails add heft to prior claims by…
President Donald Trump in the aftermath of the U.S. military removing Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro appears to have backed off a second strike and is now focused on stabilizing the country’s leadership and economy.But legal scholars continue to say any effort by Trump to order more military strikes against the country without congressional approval would rest on a narrow set of constitutional and statutory authorities, all of which have meaningful limits. While the Constitution divides war-making authority between Congress and the president, decades of precedent have allowed U.S. commanders-in-chief to initiate limited military actions on their own. Still, experts emphasize…
As the magnitude and complexity of Minnesota’s Somali immigrant welfare fraud scandal come into clearer focus, Republicans in Congress are more boldly talking about it being part of a larger scheme by Democrats to use illegal immigrants and purported refugees to hijack federal elections and manipulate apportionment that determines Americans’ congressional representation and federal funding.The Republicans’ argument goes like this: Democrats reversed Donald Trump’s related first-term executive orders and ensured that noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, were counted into 2020 U.S. Census. Then-President Biden opened the southern border so that millions of illegals could flood the country in just a few…
In an attempt to distance themselves from the Feeding Our Future fraud, Minnesota politicians vowed to return their tainted donations, but an investigation by The Center Square found that some did not follow through with their promises.Others, including the state’s Attorney General Keith Ellison — the state’s top law-enforcement official — and several lawmakers and candidates who failed to win office, took a significant amount of time to return the money or refused to provide documentation that the money was returned or donated elsewhere. The returned donations, which were all to Democrats, were mostly tied to an initial wave of…
State and local officials are asking Congress for a delay on sharing the cost of errors in the federal food assistance program, but said they are ready for accountability.The National Governors Association joined with other organizations in a letter to Congressional leaders on Wednesday seeking the delay. They said states’ costs for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program could increase if Congress doesn’t act. The letter asks to delay the cost-sharing provision until fiscal year 2030 so all states have a uniform start date. The organizations also asked that the data collected during the federal government’s 43-day partial shutdown not be…
A federal judge ordered the reinstatement of a former Ohio State University student expelled for posting social media videos criticizing Israel’s military actions in Gaza.The university first suspended Guy Christensen, an undergraduate student and social media influencer, in May after he posted pro-Palestinian videos, according to the federal court ruling.

In a letter, the university told Christensen he was suspended “temporarily and immediately, from university premises and property as well from participation in all university activities, whether on or…
Vice presidents usually don’t contribute much to political campaigns. A campaign is generally lucky if a Veep isn’t a net loss (and they most often are). And Gov. Tim Walz was a hell of a net loss. He had one job: bringing in working class whites. Instead he drove them and everyone else away and is currently busy making national headlines for all the wrong reasons. Kamala wouldn’t have won the election even if the ghost of George Washington had returned to be her VP. But Walz didn’t help. There was speculation that Gov. Josh Shapiro was going to be…
A global problem.January 19, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield Leave a Comment [embedded content] I joined the UK’s GB News to discuss Somali fraud in the United States (it’s also happening in Europe) and the larger implications of mass migrations for the Western world and the free world. As I noted in the interview, the Somali fraud is the tip of the iceberg, not only relative to the larger pool of Somali fraud, but also to the overall state of welfare fraud. The Somalis had made the mistake of getting insanely greedy in a way that even the corrupt system in…

Jon Stewart during Saturday’s episode of The Daily Show. Comedian Jon Stewart has suggested that President Trump is not like Adolf Hitler because “Hitler was popular.” Stewart made the bizarre claim during Saturday’s episode of The Late Show with Jon Stewart. “People keep saying this guy is Hitler.

New York City lost nearly 5,000 businesses early last year as employers closed their doors or left for other low-tax states, according to a new report.The analysis comes as newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes to hike business taxes to foot the bill for his agenda. The report, released Thursday by the Economic Development Corporation, showed more than 3,500 new businesses opened their doors in New York City during the second quarter of the fiscal year but that was offset by a loss of about 8,400 employers. That’s the weakest quarter for business formation since the height of the COVID-19…

Stroud and the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon, 28-16. It was a comedy of errors, as Stroud and Patriots’ quarterback Drake Maye traded turnovers. Somehow, Maye had four fumbles, becoming only the second player in the last 15 years to have at least three fumbles in one half of a postseason games. The other? C.J. Stroud, who did it last week. Not exactly the highest level of football excellence on display. Stroud’s…
