Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) has introduced a new bill that will ban the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from issuing certain grants to cities and states that give housing assistance to illegal aliens or that have sanctuary policies in place. The “No Housing Welfare for Illegal Aliens Act” would stop HUD from handing out grants under the Community Development Block Grant Program and the Home Program to areas using tax dollars to provide housing for illegal immigrants. “For too long, hardworking Americans have been forced to watch their tax dollars bankroll benefits for individuals who broke…

Lisa Monaco, former second-in-command for former President Joe Biden’s Justice Department, is now being referred to the DOJ over allegations that she helped hide investigations into Microsoft’s cybersecurity failures before she was hired for a top job with the company, according to information contained in a letter from the American Accountability Foundation. Monaco, who served as Deputy Attorney General under former Attorney General Merrick Garland, became part of the Microsoft team in May 2025, taking a position as President of Global Affairs, a few short months after leaving the government. President Donald Trump slammed her being hired by the company…
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joined four other Republican senators who voted for a resolution that would direct President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. military from the current war effort against Iran as a petty parting shot against him for losing the GOP primary race to Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA), who was endorsed by Trump, and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming. The Senate voted 50-47 to push the War Powers Resolution out of the Senate’s Foreign Relation sCommittee, three other Republicans besides Cassidy — Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME), Rand Paul (R-KY) — opting to vote alongside Democrats. According to…
Michigan Senate Republican leader Aric Nesbitt recently asked the Department of Justice to open an investigation into Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) concerning her potential role in a $20 million state fraud scheme. Earlier in May 2026, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced a total of 16 charges against Fay Beydoun. Beydoun is being accused of misusing $20 million in grant funding that was meant to be used to develop a business accelerator. Nesbitt, who is running for governor in the state, revealed that Beydoun was a close supporter and donor for Whitmer who is also alleged to have had a…
Speaking to Sean Hannity in the wake of Jasmine Crockett, who now is finally on her way out of Congress after voters rejected her, going on the awful attack against Melania Trump in a ridiculous speech in Congress, star athlete and women’s sports activist Riley Gaines went on the attack against Crockett by praising Melania heartily and heavily. That began with Hannity first reacting to Crockett’s attacks on Melania by noting that not only is Melania incredibly well spoken given that she knows a half-dozen languages, but she’s incredibly smart and a top model. He said, “I think English is either…
A post on social media platform X featuring a photo of a sign hanging in the window of a Popeyes Chicken restaurant in Minneapolis forbidding Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from coming into the business has resurfaced and is once again going viral. The sign was allegedly hung not long after the shooting deaths of anti-ICE agitators Renee Good and Alex Pretti. “ICE Agents Do Not Have Consent To Enter This Private Business Unless They Have A Valid Judicial Warrant. Staff Are Not Authorized To Consent Access To This Business,” the sign reads. Many have come out in favor of…

In an absolutely epic moment that came on Wednesday, March 20, President Donald Trump went absolutely scorched earth on a Fox News Channel RINO journalist over the voting record of her fiancé, also known as a RINO, noting that he now has a good record of taking out those Establishment Republicans and traitors who vote against him. Such came when the president spoke to a gaggle of reporters on the tarmac and, taking an entirely unrelated question, decided to throw a verbal haymaker at the Fox News senior White House correspondent marrying the RINO congressman, Jacqui Heinrich, one with whom…
Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print. Today we’re covering the DNC’s horrendous 2024 autopsy, Republican resistance to Trump’s payout plans for victims of government lawfare, and sentencing for the woman who kicked off the Somali fraud scandal. DEAD ON ARRIVAL The Democratic National Committee (DNC) finally published the autopsy it commissioned after the 2024 election on Thursday. The DNC initially planned to bury the report forever, with Chair Ken Martin arguing it did not meet the party’s standards for publication. But CNN apparently forced his hand after informing the committee it planned to publish portions of the report anyway.…

Stephen Colbert began the final episode of CBS’s The Late Show by unwittingly highlighting how it all went wrong. Colbert told the audience that he viewed his show as “the joy machine” and that he thought his job was to “feel the news with you,” even if it was not actually that joyful. Later, during a sci-fi skit about the show being sucked into a black hole, Colbert was joined once again by his fellow late night hosts who suggested the black whole—that was actually green—was President Trump. Colbert began the show by declaring, “Folks, we have done over 1,800…

Key organizations and activists tied to the CCP-linked Singham Network rapidly moved to defend former Cuban dictator Raúl Castro following this week’s Justice Department indictment tied to the 1996 shootdown of civilian aircraft flown by Brothers to the Rescue. The indictment, unveiled by the United States Department of Justice, charges Castro and others in connection with the deaths of four men after Cuban MiG fighter jets destroyed two civilian planes over international waters near Cuba nearly three decades ago. Prosecutors said the aircraft were outside Cuban territory and heading away from the island when they were attacked. In response, a…

Stephen Colbert was well into his farewell media tour when he told GQ, “I think I’m more conservative than people think.” However, according to an aggregation of previous NewsBusters studies and quote packages, that is far from true. Since NewsBusters began counting jokes in January 2023, 87 percent of Colbert’s political jokes have targeted conservatives. Likewise, since September 2022, more than 99 percent of his political guests have been liberals. MRC President David Bozell said in a statement, “Good riddance to Colbert’s nightly group therapy session for progressive elitists who could not understand why half the country kept rejecting their worldview.”…
The controversial American practice of changing clocks twice a year is up for congressional discussion again. The latest proposal would mean staying on Daylight Saving Time permanently. The measure, known as the Sunshine Protection Act, appears to have sufficient momentum in the halls of power to finally end the twice-a-year clock-changing Kabuki dance. But the question remains: Will they actually pull the trigger on it? The thorny issue of “springing forward” and “falling back” began in 1966 with the Uniform Time Act and has been a source of irritation for Americans ever since. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM)…
Providence, RI – On May 5, 2026, in yet another disturbing incident at the Providence Planned Parenthood abortion facility located at 175 Broad Street, a 28-year-old woman suffered a serious medical emergency involving heavy bleeding following an abortion procedure. Emergency responders were called to the scene as the young woman hemorrhaged.This comes just months after Operation Rescue reported on three other emergencies at the same location, two of which occurred on the same day. Advanced Life Support Required Get Daily Emails According to the official Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) report obtained through public records requests, paramedics and fire department personnel responded…
The War Powers Act would force Trump to stop the war in Iran or ignore the law. But the vote is symbolic because it faces a certain veto. Four Republicans defied Donald Trump Tuesday to vote with the Democrats and ensure the Senate took a step closer to ending the Iran war by shackling his authority under the War Powers Act. The resolution passed 50-47, with three other Republicans missing the vote. Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana voted against Trump, though Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted against the measure. The cross-voting has…
House Democrats joined six Republicans on Thursday to derail legislation advancing the long-delayed Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum after Republicans added language clarifying that the museum would focus on biological women. The bill failed in a 216-204 vote, despite years of bipartisan support for the project. The legislation had been spearheaded by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis. The collapse came after Republicans amended the proposal to specify that the museum would be dedicated to “preserving, researching, and presenting the history, achievements, and lived experiences of biological women in the United States.” The revised legislation also prohibited the museum from portraying “any biological…
The president’s retribution crusade continued on May 19, with Trump-endorsed newcomer Ed Gallrein ousting Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) in a primary contest. This is just the latest in a string of victories for candidates backed by the president, who has helped reshape GOP primaries by targeting perceived dissenters. But while Trump’s endorsement has proven decisive within the party, recent data suggest it may carry more risk than reward in the general election. The Limits of the Trump Endorsement Politico published a survey this week that tested the power of political endorsements. Respondents were asked to select one of two hypothetical…
The US allowed anti-Castro terrorists to operate for decades Now that Trump is snared by the “escalation trap” in Iran, he has turned his attention to overthrowing the government of Cuba. In addition to a new round of crippling sanctions on trade, travel, and oil shipments, the latter responsible for shortages and blackouts, the Trump administration unsealed an indictment of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro over the 1996 shoot-down of Brothers to the Rescue aircraft. Castro, now 94, was Cuba’s defense minister at the time. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that Castro and other former senior members of Cuban…
Two-time NASCAR champion Kyle Busch reportedly sought medical help for sinus issues just weeks before his tragic death Thursday. He was 41 when he died. The NY Post reports the NASCAR legend requested medical attention in the waning moments at Watkins Glen International on May 10. Busch asked over the radio for a doctor to meet him at his bus after he had crossed the finishing line. “Can somebody try to find Bill Heisel? He’s the kindred doctor guy. Tell him I need him after the race, please,” Busch can be heard asking, the report notes. “I’m gonna need a shot,”…

California’s Medicaid program is facing scrutiny after Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) highlighted a series of controversial taxpayer-funded benefits that include exorcisms, tribal prayers, housing assistance, gym memberships, bicycles, scooters, and even meal preparation services. Kennedy raised the issue during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing Tuesday while questioning acting Attorney General Todd Blanche about the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on waste and fraud in federally funded programs. According to Kennedy, California receives massive federal support for its Medicaid system, with taxpayers contributing roughly $9 for every $1 spent by the state itself. “California will actually pay a healthcare provider,…

Our fears for the future of robot intelligence almost inevitably end in spectacular fashion, with nuclear explosions and slaughter on a planetary scale. An abiding memory of my childhood is going over to the neighbors’ house and watching Terminator 2 on VHS with my friends Ethan and Nathan, who were both older than me. I must have been about five years old—about 13 years too young to watch the film. And so, the idea that robots, reaching a certain level of intelligence and awareness, will inevitably try to kill every last one of us has always just seemed natural to…
When three of the world’s most formidable economic historians collaborate on a single volume, the result commands serious attention. Two Paths to Prosperity, published in 2025 by Princeton University Press, brings together Avner Greif, Guido Tabellini, and Joel Mokyr, the last of whom, it should be noted, is a Nobel Prize winner. Together, they have produced a sweeping, rigorously argued, and at times dazzling account of why the modern world looks the way it does: wealthy in the West and long stagnant in much of the East, before China’s remarkable twentieth-century reversal. The book’s central question is deceptively simple: why…
“Riders up!” is the familiar cry that starts a horse race, as it did this year at the 153rd running of the Kentucky Derby. And then, as the horses make their way from the paddock to the starting gate, “My Old Kentucky Home” is sung, as it has been since about 1921 and, since 1936, by the University of Louisville Cardinal Singers. The initial working title was “Poor Uncle Tom, Goodnight” because the song was influenced by Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book, Uncle Tom’s Cabin. But the song today isn’t quite the same song that had been sung for so many…
A few weeks ago, the mainstream media was in full panic mode, warning that President Trump was planning to invade Cuba. These claims were overheated and completely off base. President Trump has unveiled a far grander and more sophisticated strategy—one that combines relentless economic pressure with targeted humanitarian assistance and a direct appeal to the Cuban people. It is a high-stakes gamble by Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, but one well worth taking. The first pillar is maximum economic pressure. The administration has strangled the island’s economy and starved it of energy. After the U.S. helped topple Venezuela’s…
If America is savable, Thomas Massie will win. If it is not, he will lose. –Unnamed BloggerThomas Massie, the most honest, principled, and courageous member of the U.S. House of Representatives, was defeated in the Republican primary election two days ago. He was defeated by a blitzkrieg of cash to the tune of over $30 million (a record for most money spent in a congressional primary race) provided by agents of a foreign government and by a U.S. president who himself is an agent of a foreign government. And, of course, that foreign government is Israel. Thirty million dollars’ worth…
On Monday, two teenagers killed three men at the San Diego Islamic Center, then killed themselves. What a pointless spasm of violence it was. It took a few days for The New York Times to flex their rhetorical muscles and blame conservatives. On the top left of Thursday’s front page, the headline read: “Islamophobia Spreads Fast, As Does Fear: Mosque Attack Reflects Rise in Overt Hatred.” The second paragraph from reporters Shaila Dewan and Jill Cowan was blunt: “To some, the killings seemed like an inevitable result of a swell of Islamophobia in the United States and around the globe.…
(Lauren Jessop, The Center Square) Data center developers are increasingly targeting agricultural land for new projects, and residents in affected communities are mounting opposition, concerned about the industrialization of their farmland.At the same time, Gov. Josh Shapiro’s administration is pursuing two priorities that can be difficult to balance: attracting data center investment while preserving Pennsylvania farmland. This creates a push-pull between the economic promise of data centers and concerns about farmland loss, local resource demands, and long-term community stability. The question is whether both objectives can be met without compromising the agriculture industry or the rural character of the communities…

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan on Monday to succeed her in Congress, throwing the weight of her political network behind a candidate who enters the June 2 primary with a fraction of the cash her top rival has already banked.Pelosi made the announcement in a campaign video shared by both women. The endorsement sets up a direct clash within the Democratic primary for California’s 11th Congressional District, a seat Pelosi held for a historic 20-term run before announcing her retirement. The move matters less for what it says about Chan than for what it…
Vice President JD Vance stood at the White House podium Tuesday and told reporters that Tina Peters, the former Mesa County, Colorado, clerk convicted of four felonies and three misdemeanors, could reasonably collect compensation from a newly announced $1.776 billion federal fund designed to pay people who claim they were victims of politically motivated prosecutions.The fund, which the Justice Department described as a mechanism to settle and pay cases, grew out of a settlement that dismissed a $10 billion lawsuit President Trump had filed against the IRS over the leak of his tax returns years ago. Its formal eligibility criteria…
Three people are dead and two first responders remain in serious condition after an unidentified substance sickened everyone who entered a residence in Mountainair, New Mexico, on Wednesday. Eighteen first responders who arrived at the scene began showing symptoms of their own, forcing authorities to quarantine and monitor them at a hospital miles away.The incident, which New Mexico State Police initially treated as a suspected overdose call, has escalated into a multi-agency investigation with hazmat teams still working to determine what killed three of the four people found unresponsive inside the home. As of Wednesday evening, the substance had not…
Sen. John Fetterman stood alone among Senate Democrats this week when he voted against legislation aimed at stopping the war in Iran, the latest in a string of breaks with his party that have left Democratic strategists openly questioning his loyalties and warning they will work to end his Senate career.The Pennsylvania Democrat also accused his own party’s base of becoming “increasingly anti-American” this week, as The Hill reported, and appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show Wednesday to defend President Trump’s remarks on Iran and the American economy, remarks that most Democrats had criticized. For a growing number of…
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson spent last fall rallying with barista union organizers and urging the public to stop buying Starbucks. Now, with the company building a 2,000-person corporate office in Nashville, Wilson wants everyone to know she’s changed her mind.Wilson, a 43-year-old self-described democratic socialist, told The New York Times this week that her earlier anti-Starbucks remarks “were not productive in the sense that they caused more harm than good.” The reversal came just months after she stood at a barista union rally as mayor-elect and, in November, declared to KUOW: “I am not buying Starbucks, and you should not…
California voters opening their ballots for the June 2 gubernatorial primary will find sixty-one names staring back at them, a field so bloated it reads less like a serious election and more like a monument to the state’s remarkably low barriers to entry. Among the crowd: a man who legally changed his name to Barack D. Obama Shaw, a candidate who goes by “LivingForGod AndCountry DeMott,” and a former congressman who dropped out after sexual assault allegations but whose name remains printed on the ballot anyway.Welcome to democracy, California-style. The sheer size of the field tells you everything about how…
President Donald Trump escalated a fight with the Senate’s own rules referee Wednesday, pressing Republicans to oust Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough after she stripped $1 billion in White House security funding from a $72 billion immigration enforcement package moving through reconciliation.The clash pits the president against an unelected procedural gatekeeper, and, more awkwardly, against members of his own party who show little appetite for the confrontation he wants. MacDonough, who holds a nonpartisan post that determines what provisions qualify for the fast-track budget reconciliation process, removed the security money over the weekend. About $600 million of the funding would have…
The U.S. Supreme Court faces a consequential stretch ahead, with four cases tied to President Donald Trump’s agenda expected to produce rulings by the end of next month. The disputes touch birthright citizenship, the independence of the Federal Reserve, presidential power over federal agencies, and the fate of hundreds of thousands of immigrants living under temporary humanitarian protections. Together, they represent the most significant cluster of executive-power questions the Court has confronted in years, and the outcomes could reshape the balance between the White House and the administrative state for a generation.The cases arrive at a fraught moment. On Feb.…
President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest proposal to end the ongoing conflict, calling it “unacceptable” and warning that the United States stands ready to resume military operations if Tehran refuses to abandon its nuclear program entirely. Trump made the remarks to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday while returning from meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, as Newsmax reported.The president said he rejected the proposal almost immediately after reading it. “I looked at it, and I don’t like the first sentence. I just throw it away.” Trump’s objection centered on language that appeared to leave open the…
Aaron Rodgers told reporters Wednesday that his 22nd NFL season will be his final one. Asked directly whether he plans to retire after the upcoming year with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the four-time MVP gave a two-word answer: “Yes.” Then he added, “This is it, yeah.”The announcement came just days after Rodgers agreed to return for another season. He signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh, the team he joined after years in Green Bay and a brief, turbulent stint with the New York Jets. Now 42, he turns 43 in December, Rodgers has decided to close the book on one of…

(Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com) Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Thursday that the chances of reaching an “agreement that’s peaceful” with Cuba are “not high,” comments that come after the US indicted a former Cuban president, setting up a pretext for a potential attack.“They’re not going to be able to wait us out or buy time,” Rubio said, referring to the Cuban government. “We’re very serious. We’re very focused. As I told you a moment ago in the context of Iran, the president’s preference is always a negotiated agreement that’s peaceful … That remains our preference with Cuba. I’m…
