(Headline USA) Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell asked a federal judge on Wednesday to set aside her sex trafficking conviction and free her from a 20-year prison sentence, saying “substantial new evidence” has emerged proving that constitutional violations spoiled her trial.Maxwell maintained in a habeas petition she has promised to file since August that information that would have resulted in her exoneration at her 2021 trial was withheld and false testimony was presented to the jury. She said the cumulative effect of the constitutional violations resulted in a “complete miscarriage of justice.” A habeas petition (or writ of habeas corpus…

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said Wednesday that a federal investigation found the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) significantly misreported crime statistics, making crime rates appear lower than they actually were. Pirro detailed the findings during an appearance on America’s Newsroom, saying the investigation concluded that MPD data understated crime and that a majority of arrests made in the district were not prosecuted during the administration of former President Joe Biden. According to Pirro, the investigation was launched after concerns were raised about deflated crime numbers. Trump’s Sovereign Wealth Fund: What Could It Mean For Your Money?…
IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler detailed what they described as an unprecedented level of political interference and corruption during their investigation into Hunter Biden’s finances, saying the case was ultimately neutralized by a pardon issued by Hunter Biden’s father, Joe Biden. In a wide-ranging interview on the “Pod Force One” podcast with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, Shapley and Ziegler said the investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax affairs was repeatedly affected by the Biden family’s influence and the political environment in Delaware, where the case was based. Both men have since been promoted to leadership roles within…

Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. One of the most persistent mistakes in modern politics is the insistence on flattening all ideologies — pretending that all human beings think the same way, want the same things, and are motivated by the same forces. Every time policymakers fall into this trap, the result is not compassion or clarity but some of the worst public policy imaginable. The assumption usually begins with a comforting but false premise: that all people harbor the same yearning for freedom in precisely the same way. That belief animated much of the…

Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. Yes, President Donald Trump could have taken the high ground rather than excoriating Rob Reiner, the actor, director, and producer, found stabbed to death, along with his wife.

The government in Hungary has passed a new set of laws that makes it illegal for non-government organizations to help illegal immigrants from seeking asylum. The bill is informally known as the “Stop Soros” plan and is part of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s strategy against hardcore leftist billionaire George Soros. Reports claim that Orban’s government has spent significant time and resources painting Soros up to be the bad guy due to his support of illegal immigration in Europe. Soros, who has a reputation for supplying millions of dollars to left-wing causes in America, was born in Hungary. A line from…
In yet more good news for MAGA Republicans in the months leading up to the 2026 midterm elections, yet another RINO representative has finally retired, announcing that he will not be running for re-election in 2026 and is finally retiring. That is Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA), infamous for having voted alongside Democrats to impeach President Trump in 2021.

David Valadao (R-CA), Liz Cheney (R-WY), Anthony…
President Trump is refusing to backtrack from his utter post-death skewering of Rob Reiner, the longtime Hollywood director who was slain in his home alongside his wife by their ne’er-do-well son in what appears to have been a family argument that got way too overheated. Their son has since been charged for both stabbings. As background, President Trump and Reiner had long been feuding, with Reiner not only a far-left critic who routinely attacked President Trump and other conservative figures, including some who passed away. So, upon the announcement of Reiner’s death, President Trump took to Truth Social and skewered…

Trying to entrap the VP, a woke reporter asked Vice President JD Vance to respond to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles reportedly calling him a “conspiracy theorist” and his Trump support “political expediency” in a Vanity Fair interview. Vance, having not read the article, lightheartedly admitted to believing “true” conspiracies. Firing back, he praised Wiles for his unwavering loyalty to President Trump, shared anecdotes showing Trump’s consistent personality.

Things got highly entertaining in a Pentagon press conference back in late June of 2025, when Secretary of War Pete Hegseth sounded off on a “deep state” reporter from Fox News who tried to discredit him and the Pentagon with what he framed as being mendacious questions about the American strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility. That question and angry response came in the context of Hegseth arguing that the Air Force’s B-2 stealth bombers, high-tech marvels produced by Northrop Grumman, hit exactly what they wanted to hit in the strike on the facility, saying, “there’s nothing that I’ve seen…
North Carolina, a key battleground state, is on the verge of Republican dominance, after the GOP surpassed Democrats in voter registration after decades in which Democrats led this metric. Ten years ago, Democrats led by nearly 750,000; as of mid-December 2025, the gap narrowed to about 1,200. For context, Republicans attribute this to rejection of Democratic policies and effective GOP governance. Democrats highlighted rising unaffiliated voters and cynically blamed GOP agendas for economic woes. Nationally, Democrats lost millions in registrations from 2020-2024, while Republicans gained across the board. Providing much-needed context, Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) explained the data. “Voters across…
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, famous for her show on Fox News, announced on December 15, 2025, that a federal probe, which reviewed ~6,000 reports and 50+ witnesses, found widespread misclassification of crimes by D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), which artificially lowered reported crime statistics. Disappointingly, she declined to pursue charges, and MPD was urged to address the issues internally. In her comments, Pirro credited President Trump’s federal crackdown for greater crime reductions than previously anticipated. Starting off her statements, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro noted, “It is evident that a significant number of reports had been misclassified, making crime appear artificially…

President Trump spoke by phone to his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, on Monday, November 24, and later posted on Truth Social, “Our relationship with China is extremely strong!” The warm feelings from Washington came on the heels of the two leaders holding a productive meeting in Korea recently and scheduling several more get-confabs for the year ahead. But bubbling beneath the surface is a rivalry between the two countries over the most vital technology of the 21st century: artificial intelligence. To understand the rivalry, consider a recent announcement by the U.S. Justice Department: on November 20, it charged two Americans and two Chinese…

Western civilization arose in the 8th century B.C. Greece. Some 1,500 city-states emerged from a murky, illiterate 400-year-old Dark Age. That chaos followed the utter collapse of the palatial culture of Mycenaean Greece. But what reemerged were constitutional government, rationalism, liberty, freedom of expression, self-critique, and free markets—what we know now as the foundation of a unique Western civilization. The Roman Republic inherited and enhanced the Greek model. For a millennium, the Republic and subsequent Empire spread Western culture, eventually to be inseparable from Christianity. From the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf and from the Rhine and Danube to the Sahara,…

The EU claims the fine is due to X allowing users to purchase verification checkmarks without the platform independently confirming their identities.Americans understand that anonymous speech is a cornerstone of liberty. From the Federalist Papers onwards, anonymity has protected dissent, whistleblowers, and political minorities. But Europe does not afford such…
