[Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”] In a disgusting display of how anti-Semitism has filtered from our universities down to our K-12 schools, a group of students from Branham High School in San Jose, California were revealed to have posed for a photo shoot using their bodies to construct a ‘human swastika’ on the school football field. The students then posted the image to social media alongside a quote from Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. The photo is not subtle. It features eight students, who all appear…

Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.” More politicians should follow the example of U.S. Representative Andy Ogles who exposed Democrat Judges of the Davidson County General Sessions Court in Nashville for their reckless neglect of duty, which resulted in the brutal rape of a woman who later died. Now those same judges are not only reversing accusations on Ogles as they impugn him for “political grandstanding”, they also swiftly moved to protect their own skin. “Nashville Judges Demand Extra Security After Rep. Andy Ogles Exposes Democrat…
Order Robert Spencer’s new book, Holy Hell: Islam’s Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It: HERE. One of the more absurd aspects of our age, which is absolutely filled to the brim with absurdities, is not only the left’s insistence that any man who claims to be woman, and any woman who claims to be a man, must be treated and referred to as such. Even worse is the fact that even allegedly conservative “news” outlets, including some that duly reported on how the transgender madness was a sick fantasy and worse, went right along with alacrity, referring to burly…

There is absolutely no doubt about it: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Admiral Mitch Bradley are war criminals. So is President Donald Trump. The premeditated killings of unarmed, noncombatant civilians in boats off the coast of Venezuela are war crimes under international law and murder under the U.S. Law of War, the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the U.S. Constitution. All three of these men should be tried as war criminals and sent to prison.American journalist par excellence Max Blumenthal, editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, recently hosted Judge Andrew Napolitano on his broadcast. Judge Nap served as a New Jersey…
Zohran Mamdani will become mayor of New York City in just a few weeks now, and he is planning to hit the ground running with an ambitious socialist program that promises to bankrupt the Big Apple while making it a good deal more dirty and dangerous than it already is. Really, how could anyone not love that? And now that he is safely mayor-elect, Mamdani is unveiling details of his program that ought to be causing an epidemic of buyer’s remorse among voters all over the city, but what can they do about that now? Maybe by 2029, if there…
Banks are closing branches at an astonishing rate. Banks in the United States have shuttered 439 branches in the third quarter alone, the S&P Global data show. That was up from 199 in the prior quarter.According to a report by American Banker, this also marked the highest quarterly level of net closings since the first quarter of 2022, when banks turned out the lights on 960 locations. The latest quarterly decline extended a 15-year trend. In 2009, there were nearly 100,000 branches in the U.S. But this trend isn’t necessarily an indication of anything being wrong. Some analysts say banks are…
“Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it…have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining; that many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations are vanished from the earth! Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of…
The seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker was an extraordinarily shocking move by the Trump administration. Will it be followed by the seizure of more oil tankers? This is a question that the press really needs to be asking right now. If a U.S. blockade stops the flow of oil coming out of Venezuela, the Chinese will be absolutely furious. As you will see below, China buys more Venezuelan oil than anyone else. Just imagine how we would feel if someone started grabbing tankers of oil that were eventually headed to the United States. If U.S. officials really do intend…
BELÉM, BRAZIL—The big winner of the annual United Nations climate summit this year was not the global “climate”—it was the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). But not for the reasons the media claim.More than 50 years after replacing the free Republic of China at the U.N., the CCP was the star of the show at the U.N.’s annual climate summit. Between making deals to export more “green” gimmicks and providing “global leadership,” the CCP was clearly calling the shots. The 30th annual “Conference of the Parties” (COP30) even featured a sort of mascot donated by the CCP: a hideous “Dragon-Jaguar Guardian…
Federal prosecutors have unveiled an indictment for the former Drug Enforcement Agency employee that tracked drug money at the highest levels of the DEA laundered $12 million for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which has been officially declared a foreign terrorist organization by the terrorists in Washington, DC. And there’s lots more.Prosecutors claimed Paul Campo leveraged his insider knowledge of DEA operations to help a terrorist cartel move drugs, money, and weapons, and that he used a longtime associate, Robert Sensi, to do it. Top former Obama DEA official was just indicted for helping the cartels for the small fee…
The Church of Vaccine, which includes the medical whitecoat industry, Paul Offitt, Kathryn Edwwards, Stanley Plotkin, Walter Orenstein, Big Pharma, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Public Health in every State, and the Operation Mockingbird lamestream propaganda enemedia, have for decades claimed vaccines are “safe and effective”. Any statement otherwise brings down the full weight of these “church” members upon the heads of those who dare to speak the words “unsafe and ineffective”. One has to ask the multi-trillion-dollar question, “If vaccines are safe…
Speaking ot Turning Point USA personality and podcaster Benny Johnson during a December 9 interview, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) finally said something that even many MAGA Republicans will agree with, arguing that immigrants, legal or not, should be forbidden from receiving any sort of welfare and indicating that he is moving to get legislation passed that will ban them from receiving it. That came after Benny pressed him on the matter of America accepting migrants from Somalia, noting that they are largely incompatible with our country’s traditions and values. He said, “I like to use the 51st state rule, which…
President Donald Trump and his administration have continued trying to stop the flow of dangerous and illegal narcotics like fentanyl into the United States by using military force against the smuggling boats based out of Venezuela. As could be expected, the Democrats have continued trying to use that to attack him, leading to a sharp rebuke from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. For reference, one of the main claims used as a weapon against President Trump and his administration was that the president and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth allegedly ordered the military to launch a “second strike” on…
A video clip from a Kentucky Democrat tore up the internet, going viral after she said she feels guilt on a daily basis for being white during a speech defending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in public schools. State Rep. Sarah Stalker made the comments during a meeting of the Kentucky General Assembly’s Interim Joint Committee on Education on Tuesday. Stalker started her statement by stating she was going to reveal her true feelings on the topic, before launching into an explanation of the shame she feels for being white. “I’m going to be honest. I don’t feel good about…
Utah Republican Gov. Spencer Cox, in a Dec. 2025 CNN interview, praised Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as potential presidential material, joking that governors make the “best presidents” because they need to “accomplish stuff” on nonpartisan issues like potholes. Controversially, he argued that states serve as “laboratories of democracy” where people “vote with their feet,” and lauded Shapiro’s economic reforms, including streamlining and regulatory cuts, as “red state stuff.” Cox emphasized bipartisan governance amid discussions of political violence, noting that he hopes a Republican wins in 2028 but values effective leaders across parties. Starting off his divisive comments, the RINO…
In another annoying move from the woke left, a far-left Democrat representative, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), moved to impeach Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday, December 10, claiming that he has “failed” in his role at HHS and thus must be removed from it. Announcing the move in a press release, the woke congresswoman’s office promulgated a statement saying, “Today, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens formally introduced Articles of Impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), citing his dangerous actions that have endangered public health and gutted lifesaving medical research.”…
A panel composed of three federal judges handed down a ruling in favor of the Department of War that will allow the Pentagon’s ban on transgender service members to stay in place as the litigation process moves forward. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit stated in its decision that a ruling from March 2025 from U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes that blocked the ban “afforded insufficient deference to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s judgment.” Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao wrote the majority opinion that overturned the block on the ban, pointing out that the U.S. military has…
In a press release of absolutely titanic importance that came out on Wednesday, December 10, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released data showing that the Trump Administration has, in its first ~11 months of being in power, managed to get over two and a half million illegal aliens to leave the country. While 2.5 million is just a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of millions of illegal aliens suspected by many of being in the country, it is still a good start, and a huge success compared ot the generally lackluster efforts of past administrations, and…
Oklahoma lawmakers, driven by threats from China, passed SB 212 in 2023 to restrict Chinese ownership. However, a 2024 exemption shields Smithfield, a U.S. pork giant controlling 23% of the market and 2,575 acres in Oklahoma. However, despite these concerns, critics warn of xenophobia, and Smithfield denies any national security risks are posed by its operation. However, defenders of the new law assure the public that these changes are much needed to protect our food supply and are supported by the Constitution. Additionally, officials have indicated that the pork producer will need to undergo restructuring. Announcing the change, Arkansas Gov.…
A new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll shows President Trump’s approval rebounding to 47%, up 3 points from November’s 44% low after the government shutdown. Voters split 50-50 on whether the economy is better under Trump than under Biden, and whether his policies strengthen the nation’s finances. However, Republicans lead decisively on economic trust, 55% vs. Democrats’ 45%, +6 from November. Amid affordability concerns Democrats have weaponized to attack Trump, the poll signals GOP momentum in the 2026 midterms, with 62% crediting Republicans for “winning” the shutdown and 68% approving its resolution—potentially disastrous for Democrats defending seats. Offering much-needed context, Mark Penn,…
In a 222-200 vote on Dec. 10, 2025, 13 House Republicans defected from GOP leadership to join all Democrats in advancing Rep. Jared Golden’s (D-Maine) Protect America’s Workforce Act. The bill, forced through a discharge petition, repeals Trump’s March 2025 executive order that stripped collective bargaining rights from ~1 million federal workers. Aimed at protecting veterans and national security staff, many of whom are unionized, it managed to face down real Republicans in the House and make it through with final passage in that chamber on Thursday, and is now headed to the Senate, where it faces hurdles but could…
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem engaged in a tense exchange Thursday with Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, as the Michigan Democrat repeatedly interrupted her testimony and accused the department of defying federal court orders, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

A Colorado man has been charged with second-degree assault after authorities say he violently attacked the defense attorney representing the suspect accused of killing his 12-year-old nephew during a court hearing in Arapahoe County, as reported by The New York Post.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) sharply rebuked a reporter during a tense exchange on Tuesday after she referred to cartel-linked drug-running vessels as “fishing boats,” prompting a pointed response centered on presidential authority and the fentanyl crisis impacting American communities, as reported by The Gateway Pundit. The exchange, filmed by Caden Olson, a congressional reporter for the Daily Caller News Foundation, occurred as Schmitt was questioned about recent federal actions involving maritime enforcement and national security. The reporter began by drawing a comparison between the seizure of an oil tanker and actions taken against cartel vessels. Trump’s Sovereign Wealth Fund: What…
Democratic strategist James Carville said Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas is unlikely to win a U.S. Senate race because she focuses too much on herself rather than voters, according to comments he made Thursday on the “Politicon” podcast, as reported by Breitbart.

Journalists always warn us of the far right, but where on earth is the far left? When journalists are puffing socialists like Zohran Mamdani, they show where they belong on the ideological spectrum. If they tagged Ilhan Omar or AOC as “far left,” our jaws would drop. MRC Director of Media Analysis Geoff Dickens and PBS analyst Clay Waters joined the show. Clay’s latest study of labeling over a year on the PBS News Hour found “far right” terms are 11 times more likely to be applied than “far left” terms. That’s because PBS is on the far left, so…

President Trump pardoned Tina Peters. But he did much behind the scenes to make it happen.President Trump shared the following post on Truth Social on Thursday night:For years, Democrats ignored Violent and Vicious Crime of all shapes, sizes, colors, and types. Violent Criminals who should have been locked up were allowed to attack again. Democrats were also far too happy to let in the worst from the worst countries so they could rip off American Taxpayers. Democrats only think there is one crime – Not voting for them! Instead of protecting Americans and their Tax Dollars, Democrats chose instead to…

But a holdover Biden-Harris decision to designate the Okefenokee Swamp as a World Heritage Site (WHS) could threaten President Trump’s true conservation agenda. In my new CFACT Conservation Country report, I investigated this December 2024 Biden-Harris administration policy. Currently, 92 percent of Okefenokee Swamp- or 407,000 acres – is a federally-managed national wildlife refuge overseen by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). It’s also open to hunting and fishing opportunities. All three Georgia counties bordering the swap – Charlton, Ware,…

President Donald J. Trump expressed his disappointment with Indiana GOP Senate leader Rod Bray after Hoosier State Republicans sank an effort to redraw congressional maps to give their party two more House seats before next year’s critical midterm elections. On Thursday, Bray and his gang of turncoats joined their Democrat friends to sink a Trump-backed redistricting bill 31-19, with 21 members of the majority party voting “no” in a major blow to efforts to offset blue state gerrymandering that could flip the House back to Democrats who are chafing at the bit to impeach the president and top members of…
By Vijay Jayaraj The collapse of the Paris Agreement and the unmasking of the net zero illusion were never hard to predict for anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty. It didn’t take a fancy research title or an advanced degree. The writing was carved deep into the stone of energy reality, which no press release, no activist lobby and no billionaire-backed foundation could erase. Most nations – particularly those early in building their futures – offered only empty nods to climate targets. Their participation was a transparent quest for political leverage. The climate crusade survived by hijacking the political…

https://nypost.com/2025/12/10/opinion/insurance-companies-are-making-record-profits-off-climate-change-panic-not-facts/ By Roger Pielke Jr. The headlines are relentless, loudly proclaiming that climate-fueled extreme weather has caused an insurance crisis, reflected in dramatic rate increases for homeowners and businesses. Some warn that total economic collapse may soon follow. But as is often the case when it comes to apocalyptic warnings related to climate change, real-world data don’t support the narrative. In reality, the insurance industry, which provides coverage related to hurricanes, fires and other extreme events, is enjoying a streak of record profits. Defenders of high premiums say it’s because it’s much more expensive to insure homes because of climate change. But the…
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was being questioned at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, lit into U.S. Rep.
