California state officials received an emphatic legal rebuke over public school policies that required school officials to withhold from parents the gender identity or “social transition” expressions of minor students. U.S. District Judge Roger T. Benitez ruled yesterday in a summary judgment decision that California’s parental exclusion policies are unconstitutional and issued a class-wide permanent injunction in the case of Mirabelli v. Olson. The injunction permanently blocks California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the state’s Department of Education from forcing teachers to lie to parents about their children being socially transitioned with new names and pronouns. Massive victory against the child abusers…
Hunter Biden – the embattled son of Joe Biden – delivered a blistering critique of illegal immigration during his marathon, unfiltered sit-down with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan on the popular “Shawn Ryan Show.” What emerged was something no one in the Democrat establishment expected. The interview landed like a political grenade inside Democrat circles because Hunter Biden openly contradicted the core immigration posture of his father’s administration. While the Biden White House spent four years insisting the border was “secure,” Hunter acknowledged what millions of Americans have lived with: unchecked illegal immigration drains public resources and displaces priorities away…
Democrats have put all their eggs in the affordability basket based on communist Zohran Mamdani winning in the New York mayoral race, decrying the problem of affordability. However, it looks like Donald Trump has the affordability issue in hand. The third quarter grew much faster than the second quarter, as predicted by the administration. The economists predicted doom and gloom. The gross domestic product grew at a 4.3% annual rate. This follows the inflation rate, coming in at 2.7, lower than the 3.1% predicted by economists who claimed the tariffs would bring inflation back. The US economy grew at a…

Hunter Biden, the son of former Democratic President Joe Biden, appeared to somewhat concede in an interview with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan that premiered on Monday that his father’s border policies were disastrous. “We need immigration — we need a vibrant immigration — but we don’t want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources, and also being prioritized above people that are actual literal heroes that are coming home or that are still recovering from twenty-one, twenty years of endless war or anybody else in our society,” he told Ryan. The sad states of affairs he…

The increased incentive would ensure they “get home in time for Christmas,” Noem said. “Illegal aliens should take advantage of this gift and self-deport because if they don’t, we will find them, we…

Royal Cambodian Army. Photo courtesy of Prime Minister Hun Manet via Facebook.

The dispute traces back to unresolved colonial-era borders, particularly around contested temple sites such as Preah Vihear. A 1962 International Court of Justice ruling placed the temple under Cambodian sovereignty but left surrounding territory undefined,…
