The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People launched a campaign on Tuesday calling for Black athletes, recruits, fans, and alumni to withhold athletic and financial support at public universities in states that the NAACP said have moved ‘to limit Black voting representation.’ [That’s a misrepresentation!] The “Out of Bounds” campaign’s primary goal is to call on top football and basketball players recruited by programs from select states to withhold their commitments until “fair congressional maps” are restored in those states, the NAACP’s statement said. “The NAACP will not watch the same institutions that depend on Black athletic prowess…

By Wayne Allyn Root Thank you God for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He is manna from heaven for Republicans. His new brand should be, “World’s Best Republican Salesman.” Why do you think President Trump was so nice to Mamdani when he visited the White House? It was like the cat being nice to the mouse. Or the wolf being nice to the sheep. Or Democrats being nice to middle class voters while campaigning. It was all an act by President Trump. It was a setup. Like me, Trump wants Mamdani to be Mamdani…to be the radical communist he truly is…to…
Ordering ‘Zionists’ into camps? Demanding to sterilize them? Something about Maureen Galindo’s platform has a familiar ring to it. Add in some Totenkopf imagery, and the picture becomes complete. Advertisement Oh, wait …It’s not just Maine Kampf for Democrats in this cycle. Galindo may win a runoff election next week in Texas’ new 35th congressional district, representing part of San Antonio. Galindo won the plurality of the vote in the March primary in an otherwise tight four-way race. She faces Bexar (pronounced ‘bear’) County sheriff Johnny Garcia in the runoff next week; Garcia only trailed Galindo by 1200 votes. Galindo apparently…

The Chicks’ lead singer, Natalie Maines. Credit: Wikimedia Commons The country music artist who torched her career after insulting former President George W. Bush has emerged from hiding to insult the current Commander-in-Chief. Recall that the Dixie Chicks (now the Chicks) were the number one country band in the country before the lead singer Natalie Maines uttered these fateful words during a live concert in London at the height of the Iraq War in 2003: Just so you know, we’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas. After Maines said this, the Dixie Chicks quickly became…
Stephen Colbert reunited with buddy Jon Stewart on Tuesday night’s episode of The Late Show and the two quickly reignited their dewy-eyed mutual admiration society while spraying venom at the Trump administration as “putrid.” Variety notes in the opening moments of the segment, Colbert reminisced about his early days on Comedy Central, and he presented Stewart with a 27-year-old photo of them together behind the Daily Show desk. “One of us has not aged as well as the other,” Stewart joked, in a seemingly self-deprecating jab at himself. “This looks like a double-blind study where they gave one of these…
Red state attorneys general are on waging legal warfare against diversity, equity and inclusion policies lingering in big business. Republican Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers filed a lawsuit against proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) Wednesday, alleging the firm illegally implemented DEI policies and flouted its fiduciary duty to pursue ideological ends. Other states are expected to join the lawsuit.Nebraska’s action follows a Florida lawsuit in November alleging similar wrongdoing by ISS. “ISS sold Nebraska investors on the promise of objective, independent research. What they were actually getting was advocacy—coordinated with [environmental, social and governance (ESG)] activist organizations, untested…
Screenshot President Donald Trump’s handpicked challenger, retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, wasted no time delivering a brutal post-primary rebuke of outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie after toppling the longtime Kentucky congressman in one of the most expensive House primaries in U.S. history. Massie lost to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein in Tuesday’s primary election by a decisive margin. During his concession speech, Massie said he was unable to call Gallrein because he was in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv. “Listen, I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent and concede and it took a while…

Imagine the heartbreak of being the poor, non-existent, 44-year-old California high-speed train fantasy.In 1982, California’s legislature authorized the first $2 billion of a whole lot of billions to come for a study on a high-speed rail project from two actual cities in California – Los Angeles and San Diego.

Credit: Getty Images President Trump has taken another major step in his immigration enforcement agenda, this time targeting access to the American banking system. In a new executive order issued Tuesday, the Trump administration directed the Treasury Department to increase scrutiny of financial activity tied to illegal immigration, including potential payroll tax evasion, concealed account ownership, off-the-books wage schemes, labor trafficking, and the use of Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) without verified legal presence documentation. Banks will now be pressured to strengthen customer identification requirements and think twice before handing out accounts, loans, credit cards, or any financial services to…
The Fork in the Road on Food Inflation We are standing at a fork in the road, and the signposts are written in dollars and cents — or rather, in dollars that buy less and less. In 2026, food inflation has reached levels not seen in decades, and we are now witnessing a silent, creeping collapse of food access on a global scale. One recent report documented a 40% loss of food access in one region as prices surged over 190% [1]. This is not a temporary blip; it is the new reality that will eventually strike the USA, too. The…
Why We Stand on the Verge of Systemic Collapse I believe civilization is on the verge of collapse, and the window to prepare is closing far faster than most realize. In talking with many of my listeners and reading user feedback, it’s clear that people sense the ground shifting beneath their feet. They know the world is no longer stable, and they are desperate for guidance. Here’s why this matters: I believe we are running out of time for civilization as we know it to function. The signs are everywhere, from the collapsing economic system to the deliberate destruction of…
Compensation for Victims of A Weaponized Government The Department of Justice just announced a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to compensate Americans who were unfairly targeted by the previous administration. [1] On its face, this sounds like a historic step toward accountability. But having lived through the censorship machine that the Biden administration ran against my businesses and the entire health freedom movement, I know better than to uncritically cheer any government compensation program. I believe this fund could either be a genuine restoration of justice or another empty promise designed to score political points. Here’s why I am both hopeful and deeply…
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in 2025, citing conflicts of interest and lack of transparency. The department withdrew an April 2026 charter renewal for the panel due to an administrative error involving federal timing requirements. A federal judge had previously blocked key changes made by Kennedy, ruling that new members did not meet the panel’s own qualifications. The revised charter would have expanded the panel’s focus to include vaccine risks and safety evidence, and loosened membership eligibility rules. The Trump administration has appealed the court ruling, which…
The Healing Awakening: Exposing the lies, decentralizing your health and reclaiming God-given power against Big Pharma, censorship and the globalist machine Mark Zuckerberg’s January 2025 admission that Meta’s fact-checking was biased confirms the systemic censorship of health freedom information. The article warns that this is not genuine reform but a strategic shift, as algorithms still suppress natural health content. The key lesson is to never rely on a single Big Tech platform and to diversify information sources. The book exposes that chemotherapy boosts five-year survival for solid tumors by only 2.1 percent, while safe, natural treatments like the Gerson Therapy…
A hacking group linked to Iran, known as Handala, has claimed responsibility for breaching a foundation it alleges is a joint operation between the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israel’s Mossad, disguised as a global charity. According to a statement released by the group, the operation targeted what it called the PFAP Foundation. Handala extracted 639,000 classified documents including contracts, donor lists, secret meeting records, money transfer documents and internal emails. The group stated that all sensitive information was immediately transferred to intelligence organizations affiliated with the Axis of Resistance. The claims remain unverified by independent sources. Handala has a…
House Republicans Expand UFO Probe to Defense Contractors and Labs Amid Whistleblower Claims of “Non-Human Biologics” Cover-Up House Republicans are broadening a UFO investigation to include defense contractors and research laboratories, according to officials familiar with the matter. The expansion was announced May 17, 2026, by members of the House Oversight Committee, who said the probe will now seek documents and testimony from private companies and university-affiliated labs that have worked on classified programs related to unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs. Background of the Investigation The investigation began earlier in 2026, focusing on government reports of UAPs, which the military…
Indian state refiners raised their retail prices for gasoline and diesel by the equivalent of $0.031 per liter on May 15, the first such increase in four years, according to Bloomberg as reported by OilPrice.com. The hike, which amounts to over 3%, was implemented in response to tighter global crude oil availability, the report said. The increase was necessitated by the global crude oil price surge that resulted in losses for India’s refiners, according to the same report [1]. New Delhi delayed the price adjustment for much longer than other governments due to the sensitivity of Indian consumers to fuel…
Cuba Accuses U.S. of Fabricating Pretext for Potential Invasion Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla accused the United States of manufacturing a “fraudulent case” to justify economic war and potential military aggression against the island nation, according to statements published Saturday. The accusation follows a May 17 Axios report citing classified U.S. intelligence that Cuba had acquired more than 300 attack drones from Russia and Iran since 2023 and had discussed possible strikes on the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, American warships, and Key West Air Force Base in Florida. Rodriguez Parrilla said Cuba “neither threatens nor desires war”…
“Beyond The Diagnosis” on BrightU: How the atlas bone controls your body’s cancer-fighting arsenal On Day 11 of “Beyond The Diagnosis,” Jonathan Otto talked about the precise upper cervical adjustment to the atlas bone that triggers an immediate, measurable spike in secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA). Dr. Jennifer Taylor explained that the nervous system controls the immune system and structural misalignment of the atlas can create interference that short-circuits the brain’s ability to direct immune function effectively. Dr. Michael Karlfeldt described the immune system as a police force that becomes exhausted by chronic stress, unresolved infections, nutrient depletion, toxic exposure and…

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday telling banks they cannot extend credit and other financial services to illegal aliens, citing national security concerns. The order, titled – “Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System” – also calls for an end to the transfer of what Trump calls “low-dollar cross-border funds” because they have been used to “facilitate or commit terrorist financing, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking and other illegal activity.” “My administration will not tolerate national security and public safety risks caused by illicit cross-border financial activity, nor will it permit risks to our financial system posed by the extension of…
American-led innovation has built a digitally connected world that’s created enormous benefits for American families and businesses. For most American families, access to people and products from anywhere in the world comes as easily as reaching for the phone in our pocket. Now, imagine if tomorrow that access we’ve become familiar and comfortable with became our biggest threat. Think of a world in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were able to launch a cyber-attack and target your power and water, block your bank accounts, or turn off your internet. That’s the reality America faces today and why we are…
The South Carolina House of Representatives just rammed through House Bill 5683, approving a bold new congressional map that delivers a clean 7-0 Republican sweep of the Palmetto State’s U.S. House seats. It can be recalled that South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order requiring the General Assembly to return to an extra legislative session to address the state budget and critically important congressional redistricting. The session kicks off Friday, May 15, at 11:00 AM, just days after weak-kneed Senate Republicans blocked a clean extension and tried to kick the can down the road. As The Gateway Pundit…

Zohran Mamdani’s political takeover of New York City was backed by a leftist-Islamist coalition, but abstract ideology only gets you so far. Plenty of the Muslim donors and voters weren’t there just for religious and racial reasons, but they hoped to reap tangible benefits from the move And that’s where the corruption tends to come in. People have been focused on the ‘free grocery store’, but plans like this may be much closer to where the money is really going as Mamdani proposes massive rezoning of an area that has a large Muslim population. The City Planning Commission is referring…

Vice President J.D. Vance pointed out that even Hunter Biden could benefit from the Justice Department’s new “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, the vice president remarked that the media had “misrepresented” the $1.8 billion fund that was set up to settle President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. While Democrats have melted down over what they claim is a “slush fund,” the compensation is intended to go to those who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration – even the former president’s own son. “Why should taxpayers be paying to settle a $10 billion…

Accompanying potshots at his opponent and fundraisers, Kentucky Rep.

Signaling the makings of a fiery seven months to close out his 14 years in Congress, the ousted lawmaker took aim at Fox News, alleging the network had subjected him to “18 months of a blackout.” Within minutes of taking the…

Hallways on Capitol Hill on Tuesday were buzzing with tension as left-wing journalists, visibly agitated with the Trump administration’s newly announced 1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund, swarmed Republicans senators with gotcha questions about potential payments to pardoned January 6 defendants. In one of the most heated confrontations of the day, TMZ reporter Charlie Cotton aggressively pressed Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, demanding a yes-or-no answer on whether “violent” January 6 “rioters” should receive taxpayer money from the fund. “I’m a little concerned that January 6th rioters — violent January 6 rioters who were convicted and then pardoned — I’m a little worried…
A growing consensus holds that Donald Trump’s confrontation with China has weakened the U.S. Some China experts, like former Morgan Stanley Asia Chairman Stephen Roach, argue that the U.S. needs China more than China needs the U.S. The Western press from London to New York tells us that China has the upper hand. That misses the bigger picture, which I link to here for anyone looking for a good explanation. (RELATED: Trump’s China Trip Was A Big ‘America First’ Opportunity. Did He Seize It?)The U.S. still has the stronger hand in this new multipolarity. But that advantage is not guaranteed.…

The media has been doing its usual eulogies for Stephen Colbert and the post-Letterman Late Show after CBS belatedly pulled the plug on the dying institution. The usual articles blame Trump and CBS News, not to mention Ellison, Bari Weiss and whatnot. The reality is that the late night show is a dead institution. Nobody watches them. The ‘heated’ competition between Colbert, Jimmy Fallon at the Tonight Show, which has been trimmed back, and Jimmy Kimmel, is over an audience of millions which in network television terms is nothing. The last time anyone in the late shows had an audience…

During an interview with CNN released on Tuesday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said that when she promised to end street homelessness in Los Angeles by this year, she “didn’t anticipate some of the bureaucratic barriers that I would experience, but I am prepared to take those on now.” And argued that “we need to end the failed policies of the past,” while saying that the next four years would be “an absolute overhaul and reconstruction” of the system to address homelessness.

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) President Donald Trump may not acknowledge that it was a local cop, rather than the Secret Service, who may have saved his life in Butler, Pennsylvania nearly two years ago. But at least the National Rifle Association is honoring Butler ESU member Sgt. Aaron Zaliponi for his heroics on July 13, 2024.The NRA announced Monday that it’s bestowing the 2025 Officer of the Year Award on Zaliponi, who fired at alleged would-be assassin Thomas Crooks about five seconds after the shooting started—and a whopping 10 seconds before the Secret Service finally returned fire.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded on Tuesday to Cuban figurehead “president” Miguel Díaz-Canel predicting a “bloodbath” in the event of American action against the communist regime by offering its support to Cuba and demanding an end to American sanctions. Díaz-Canel made his comment in response to a report by the website Axios claiming that American authorities had reason to believe that Russia and Iran had supplied hundreds of drones to the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) and that American officials were studying a response to that threat. The report also claimed that the Communist Party was considering drone strikes on…
