President Trump is weighing whether to remove Kimberly Guilfoyle as U.S. ambassador to Greece after reports of alleged pay-to-play favors and staff mistreatment left senior officials furious and her job hanging by a thread.A source close to the White House told the New York Post that Guilfoyle is “on very thin ice” while the president deliberates her fate in Washington. The Associated Press first reported Monday that Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering firing the envoy.

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed walked back years of sharp criticism of Barack Obama and apologized again for remarks after a synagogue shooting, just weeks before sharing a Detroit stage with the former president.On “Meet the Press,” host Kristen Welker pressed the Democratic contender on his old attacks on Obama and on backlash over comments he made after an attack at a Michigan synagogue. El-Sayed, who faces former GOP Rep.

President Trump declared an immediate energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia on Sunday, saying both sides agreed to halt strikes on energy targets after a tense public dispute with Zelensky.U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Sunday morning that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to stop attacking each other’s energy industries.

Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!” Trump wrote. Breitbart reported the White House had not yet…
Democratic Senate candidate Adam Hamilton called Vice President JD Vance’s criticism of his religious beliefs “really sad” and “pathetic,” claiming the remarks showed desperation in the Kansas race.Hamilton, a pastor seeking the open Senate seat, sat down with ABC’s Jonathan Karl on Sunday and brushed aside the vice president’s comments from a rally the prior Monday in Olathe. The Hill reported the exchange as Hamilton denied Vance’s characterizations outright and pulled a small Bible from his pocket to underline his own practices. Vance had come to Kansas to back Sen. Roger Marshall and drew a sharp contrast on faith. He…
The Justice Department has charged 64 foreign nationals across 17 states with unlawful voting, a crackdown officials frame as protecting lawful ballots before the midterms.Breitbart reported that Fox News Digital obtained the tally on Sunday, showing federal prosecutors moving against noncitizens who cast ballots they had no right to cast. Minnesota led with 11 defendants. Pennsylvania had 10. Texas followed with 9. Louisiana recorded 5. New Jersey, California, and Florida each had 4. Those 64 cases sit inside a broader push. Since President Trump returned to office in 2025, the department has charged 104 people with voting fraud-related offenses, including…

President Trump floated renaming the Atlantic or Pacific as ‘Trump Ocean’ at a Tennessee rally, drawing huge cheers from the crowd.At a Saturday rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, President Donald Trump told supporters he wants another major American landmark renamed before he leaves the White House. He said he was thinking of either the Atlantic Ocean or the Pacific Ocean and offered two options: “Trump Ocean” or “Ocean of the Americas.” The idea fits the America First renaming push he has already pressed since returning to office in January 2025, including federal use of “Gulf of America” and “Lake America.” Trump…
Professional surfer and local artist Larry Bertlemann has died at 71 after heart attack complications in Honolulu, a pioneer whose family says his legacy will live on.Hawaii News Now reported that Bertlemann died Saturday following complications from a heart attack. His family said he passed away on October 10, 2026, at The Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu. He was 71.

The family called him a pioneer of modern surfing and a local artist, and noted his place as…
In 2010, a Rockefeller Foundation report entitled Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development described a fictional pandemic followed by increasingly authoritarian government controls. Its Lock Step scenario envisaged restrictions on movement, intensified surveillance, and biometric identification systems that would persist long after the emergency had passed. A decade later, governments across the world imposed extraordinary restrictions in response to Covid-19. Citizens were confined to their homes, businesses were closed, religious gatherings were prohibited, and access to ordinary social activities became conditional upon compliance with public-health regulations. Was this simply an extraordinary response to an extraordinary emergency? Or…
Sleepwalking into a NATO War with Russia The Russian war against Ukraine is now halfway through its fifth year, rapidly approaching the length of World War II. The European NATO countries have become more and more heavily drawn into that conflict, which many observers believe has already cost more than a million lives. Although the NATO leaders had initially been quite cautious about fighting a proxy war against nuclear-armed Russia on Russia’s own border, lack of any significant Russian pushback has dangerously swollen their confidence, and many red-lines once assumed to exist have already long since been crossed. As I…
In a recent article, I highlighted the “law of displacement” which encapsulates my belief that a harmful lucrative technology, regardless of the evidence against it, will almost only be removed from the market once either a more profitable alternative emerges, or a less harmful but equally profitable one does (as in all other cases, the profit the technology makes outweighs the cost of silencing critics of its toxicity). In some cases, this works in a positive manner and finally expels bad things from the market (e.g., lead in gasoline), but in other cases, it results in something worse entering the…
When you are working as hard as you can and you still don’t even come close to being able to pay all the bills, it can be absolutely soul crushing. Millions upon millions of Americans are living lives of quiet desperation as they attempt to scrape by from month to month. Many of them have a really hard time sleeping at night because the financial pressure never ends. This is the result of decades of bad policies from our leaders in Washington, and the cost of living is only going to go higher. As you will see below, the global…
Author’s Note: I initially wrote the following essay about 18 months ago. Recent reader comments inspired me to repost it with a few modifications. When I was studying philosophy in graduate school, my favorite class was epistemology, or how we know what we think we know. As philosophers from Aristotle to Wittgenstein have observed, “knowing” something to be true isn’t as easy to establish as we often assume it to be. A famous example of how hard it can be to nail down the reality of the physical world was the longstanding argument between Albert Einstein and Niehls Bohr whether…
Are all cultures equally worthy of our respect? Globalists say, “yes.” Are all religions equally worthy of our respect? Globalists say, “yes.” Are all nations equally worthy of our respect? Globalists say, “yes.” Globalists speak of “multiculturalism” as if it were a virtue and equate Western civilization with “white supremacy,” “patriarchy,” and “imperialism.” They believe Christians should celebrate Islamic holidays. They believe national borders are “racist.” They believe that anybody who rejects globalism promotes “hate.” If everything is true, though, then nothing is true. If there are no borders, then there are no nations. If there are no nations, then national governments represent nobody. In other words, the globalist…
President Donald Trump said he does not believe China or Russia are helping Iran in its war with the United States and Israel, arguing that both countries have too much to lose and that any involvement would be detected quickly. He allowed that any assistance, if occurring, would be limited. His remarks come amid disputed reports of possible Chinese and Russian support for Tehran, including allegations involving intelligence and military-related aid; Russia has denied providing intelligence on U.S. targets. The conflict began in February with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, followed by Iranian attacks on Israel and Gulf states…
By George Arkhurst, Op-ed contributor Tuesday, October 13, 2026Getty ImagesForgiveness is widely regarded as a virtue. Religious institutions teach it, families encourage it, and people promote it as a way to restore relationships and heal emotionally. Yet, despite its recognized value, forgiveness remains one of the hardest principles to practice.For some, it offers freedom from resentment and the opportunity to move forward. For others, it feels like an added burden on someone who has already suffered enough.This raises an important question: Is forgiveness a solution to our problems, or becomes the problem?The answer may depend less on forgiveness itself than…
Screencap of Twitter/X video. Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas has triggered a whole bunch of lefties for simply writing a tweet about Christopher Columbus on Columbus Day. When did it become controversial to celebrate Columbus Day and Christopher Columbus? At some point in recent decades, the left decided that Columbus was an evil figure, who is responsible for the deaths of any native Americans who ever crossed paths with him. Of course, what it’s really about is their hatred of Western Civilization. Here’s Gill’s tweet: Christopher Columbus is one of the great men of world history. Guided by faith in…

Arizonans will have a chance to put a stop to their taxpayer money being spent on diversity, equity and inclusion programs.On Nov. 3, Arizona residents will vote on Proposition 142, which would stop state money from funding DEI-related offices and programs.

With electricity demand rising rapidly nationwide, a bipartisan U.S. Senate bill aims to create a process for planning transmission between regions — a step toward a more interconnected power grid that could help keep electricity more reliable and affordable.Introduced by two Republican and two Democratic senators, the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to establish standards for interregional transmission planning and create a pathway for such projects to be permitted and built. The contiguous U.S. is divided into 12 transmission-planning regions and three major power grids, and while a federal regulatory framework exists…

Sure, on paper, Rep. Ilhan Omar is a radical leftist crossed with a Islamic activist (a fairly typical profile on the contemporary Left) but in some ways she’s a throwback to the kind of insanely corrupt Democrat who would just commit crimes to see what he could get away with. The current raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar is long overdue for a woman accused of having committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother, but let’s remember that it’s also highly likely that the entire family committed immigration fraud, that the genealogic fraud may cross three continents, and that it’s just…

After decades of wildly flouting every kind of law and regulation, the law may finally be coming down on Rep. Ilhan Omar. And the Somali Islamist’s core base is standing with her. By that I mean the mainstream media and unindicted terror funding co-conspirators.

It goes without saying that when a Canadian Indian beats a non-Indian person, he’s going to get a pass. And it’s also a given that when a non-Indian beats a Canadian Indian woman, he’s gonna get the book thrown at him. But what happens when a Canadian India beats his Canadian Indian wife?

The FDA is proposing to expand a “threshold of regulation” (TOR) loophole that would permit toxic chemicals to be added directly to food as ingredients without safety review. The current TOR exemption applies only to food contact materials like packaging, but the expansion would allow dangerous compounds as flavorings, preservatives, emulsifiers and other direct food additives. Public health advocates warn the proposal ignores cumulative health effects and allows hormone-disrupting chemicals that cause harm at levels far below the 0.5 parts per billion threshold. The proposed rule comes as the FDA claims victory for “closing” the GRAS loophole, but critics say…

Following last month’s foiled terror plot against a United Kingdom base hosting American bomber jets, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Monday that Iran likely was involved in planning it.Before Burnham’s speech on the floor of the House of Commons, President Donald Trump had said multiple times that he believed the Islamic Republic was involved in the plot at the Royal Air Force Fairford Base. “I can confirm our assessment that it is highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran, almost certainly directed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard,” said Burnham.

Since ‘universal health care’ is such a popular topic in the U.S., here’s how it’s working out in the UK.
