Secretary of War Pete Hegseth triggered the liberal, elite media Thursday during his open remarks at a Pentagon briefing as he lambasted the relentlessly negative coverage of the U.S. war with Iran, comparing them to the Pharisees in the Bible who worked to undermine Jesus at every turn. Specifically, Hegseth noted the Pharisees opposing Jesus’s healing of a man on the Sabbath. He offered a lengthy series of remarks before this warning Iran to continue negotiating with the U.S. and not violate the ceasefire before he turned his ire to the press: “Speaking of choosing wisely, a note to the…

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) accused Judge James Boasberg of judicial “abuse” in a call for House Republicans to impeach the chief judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The GOP lawmaker blasted Boasberg’s “crusade” against President Donald Trump’s administration following a decision by a federal appeals court that ordered the Obama-appointed judge to end his “intrusive” contempt investigation. 🚨 BIG WIN FOR TRUMP — Appeals Court SLAPS DOWN Activist Judge James Boasberg A federal appeals court just delivered a major smackdown to Judge James Boasberg, telling him to stop harassing the Trump administration over deportations.…
Prosecutors working under U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro made a surprise visit Tuesday to a Federal Reserve construction site. The Federal Reserve has been renovating its headquarters in Washington, D.C., since 2022. Due to what has been described as a pressure campaign from President Donald Trump, who has called the renovations “wasteful” and accused Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell of lying about it, in January, the Department of Justice subpoenaed the Reserve for info about the project.

A bunch of Army-affiliated social media accounts were torched this week after they celebrated Democrat Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Army National Guard veteran. The posts were published by Army social media accounts tied to Soldier for Life (SFL), an Army program “that connects soldiers, veterans and their families to resources ranging from employment to health care to retirement,” according to NOTUS. After the posts were published, searing criticism began pouring in from other veterans, including combat vets, who felt that Duckworth didn’t deserve to be celebrated by the Trump administration. Among the critics was Chase Spears, a former Army paratrooper and…
Hunter Biden’s legal problems have reportedly led to a move overseas, according to recent court documents. The first son of former President Joe Biden is currently living abroad, as his attorney, Barry Coburn, revealed in a court filing earlier this month, according to Fox News. “Mr. Biden lives abroad,” stated the document, which was filed April 6 in connection with a civil lawsuit over outstanding legal fees. “He cannot pay his current lawyers.” “The court document disclosing Biden’s current living situation was submitted in a Washington, D.C., civil court by Winston & Strawn LLP, which previously represented him in a series…
The following content is sponsored by the American Chemistry Council and is written by its president and CEO, Chris Jahn. For years, Washington has talked about rebuilding American manufacturing and lowering costs for families. But talk alone won’t get the job done. The reality is simple: America cannot stay competitive, affordable, or secure if it allows unfair imports to undercut one of its most essential industries. The chemical industry is one of America’s greatest economic engines. It powers affordability. It powers manufacturing. It powers American competitiveness. And today, it is increasingly exposed to global market distortions created by unfair foreign…
The feud between Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Tucker Carlson took another nasty turn after the podcaster’s controversial take on Islam and Christianity. Once a loyal ally of President Donald J. Trump, Carlson has been increasingly critical of the Iran war and, in a recent X post by the Tucker Carlson Network, blasted Trump’s controversial Truth Social posting of an image of him portrayed as Jesus Christ that sparked outrage before it was deleted. “The people in charge don’t want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus,” the post read. The people in charge don’t want you to know…
Watch how they did it, because the old technique just slammed into a wall. The sports section at the New York Times, which carries the painfully twee name “The Athletic,” just tried to provoke a cancellation. Everybody just made fun of them. The Silicon Valley entrepreneur Marc Andreessen recently told us that the cultural engine of the hit piece was dead, and with the exception of left-on-left hits like the one on the ghost of Cesar Chavez, he was right. It’s incredible the extent to which the social sanctioning engine has simply seized up. Hit pieces that would have been…
Sign Up For Goods 🛍️ Product news, reviews, and must-have deals. I was somewhere around East Hollywood, at the onramp of the 101, when the buzz began to take hold. You know the buzz. That indefinable thing when people catch something from music. I’ve been chasing the buzz for over a year, through SUVs, concert venues, convention centers, and recording studios. From behind the wheel to behind mixing desks. From consoles to consults. I’ve been chasing the buzz while learning how Dolby Atmos and object-based audio have expanded the immersive nature of music.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani blasted the “disturbing and unacceptable” behavior of NYPD narcotics detectives in an incident that was caught on video. The mayor called for an investigation following the violent arrest of a man by two plainclothes Brooklyn North Narcotics detectives, as a video clip from the scene went viral. It turned out that Timothy L. Brown, who was seen being dragged, punched, and aggressively handled during the arrest, was not even the man the detectives were looking for in an undercover operation involving drug sales in the area. “The violence used by NYPD officers in this…

Vice President J.D. Vance this week said he understands the Iran war is unpopular with many Trump supporters, particularly the young ones, but urged them not to become so dissatisfied with that issue that they disengage entirely. “I recognize that a lot of young voters don’t love the policy that we have in the Middle East. Okay, I understand that,” Vance said at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Georgia. “I also know that we’ve secured the border. We’ve lowered housing prices now for eight months in a row, and there’s going to be more to come…
The ousting of former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) over sexual assault allegations may be the proverbial tip of the iceberg, with the possibility of more exposures on the way. In a cryptic Wednesday post to X, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) put Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) on notice that there are some “very disturbing” allegations against an unnamed senator, and calling for him to “look into” it. It’s seems like the Senate has its own trash to take out. @LeaderJohnThune You need to look into the allegations against one of your Senators, it’s very disturbing. My chief will…
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department for former Inspector General Michael Atkinson and the whistleblower whose complaint helped spark the 2019 impeachment of Donald Trump. The referrals follow the release of documents by DNI Tulsi Gabbard exposing a “coordinated effort” by some within the intelligence community to “manufacture a conspiracy” for the basis of Trump’s impeachment, Fox News Digital reported. “Today we reveal the truth,” Gabbard posted Monday on X: Newly-declassified records expose how deep state actors within the Intelligence Community concocted a false narrative that Congress used to usurp…
Shannon Elizabeth, best known for her iconic role as Nadia in American Pie, is finished letting Hollywood control the narrative and outcome of her career. Those are her words, not mine.The 52-year-old, who recently described Nadia to Entertainment Tonight as a role and not how she conducts herself in real life, is joining OnlyFans. She said last month, “I’m just not the girl who likes to be naked, ever.””Even at home I’m always covered up. Like I have friends that sleep in the nude, and they don’t mind walking around that way,” she went on to explain. “That was never me,…
The theological fault lines that divide America’s 50 million or so Catholics from its roughly 130 million Protestants have been largely set aside when it comes to politics in the Trump era, if only because most practicing Christians in the United States understand they have a common foe in the secular left. When Democrats are openly trying to drive all forms of Christian piety from the public square and impose what amounts to a neopagan morality, it tends to focus one’s attention on the near enemy. But not this week. President Trump’s diatribe against Pope Leo over the weekend and…
Major U.S. advertising agencies have agreed to end an alleged censorship scheme that sought to demonetize conservative and independent news outlets, including The Federalist. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced the proposed order on Wednesday. The federal agency noted that the tentative deal will halt “alleged coordinated conduct” between ad agencies and groups specializing in identifying so-called “disinformation” that reportedly sought to prevent the aforementioned outlets from effectively generating ad revenue. As the FTC alleged in its legal complaint, beginning in 2018, “major U.S. advertising agencies WPP, Publicis and Dentsu — who buy digital ad inventory on behalf of advertisers…
Minnesota’s leftist Secretary of State wants Congress to know that his Midwest state has “one of the most secure and accurate voter registration systems in the state.” That boast likely will be put to the test when Steve Simon appears before the House Administration Committee Thursday morning. Surely Simon will be asked to explain how a 39-year-old noncitizen in Minnesota registered and voted in the 2024 election. But wait, there’s more … a lot more. In a blue state led by ICE-hating radicals, Simon has placed politics over integrity, a common theme among Democrats fighting tooth and nail against the…

The Department of Justice awarded more than $1 million to a pro-life advocate wrongfully arrested in his home, his defense announced last week, marking a legal win for free speech and a de facto acknowledgment of federal lawfare deployed against pro-life Christians under the Biden administration. The announcement came just days before Tuesday’s release of a detailed report that further exposes the Biden DOJ’s egregious abuse of the FACE Act. A ‘Reasonable’ Arrest In 2022, Catholic pro-life father Mark Houck was arrested at his home in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania. Houck had been charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic…
As the price of oil soars and bombs strike Middle East oil and natural gas facilities, memories of the OPEC oil embargo of the 1970s resurface for many Americans. That crisis was resolved by simply turning the oil spigots back on; this conflict threatens to blow them up. Dramatic changes in U.S. food production and distribution since the 1970s have created an even greater threat that extends beyond Iran. The United States remains the world’s largest agricultural exporter, but we now import more food than we export, resulting in a record deficit in agricultural trade. Moreover, imports of highly processed…
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in New York City, New York, September 22, 2025Public DomainPlease Follow us on Truth Social, X , Youtube , Minds, Telegram, Rumble, GETTR, Gab The United States has turned its attention towards peace in Lebanon. The move comes as the midterm elections in the US are fast approaching and the Middle East wars are a roadblock to Republicans successfully holding on to power. It remains true that Lebanon is a Christian country, in fact the only Christian nation in the Levant, and the U.S. is primarily Christian. So, it is natural for America to focus on this Balkanized…
Even as the world wakes up to Britain’s chronic “say-do gap” on defence, Westminster is cutting even more cash from the military to boost welfare spending. The leader of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK department for preparing for government, Danny Kruger, has taken a hand in the burgeoning debate on the demilitarisation of Britain, from the world’s premier military power a century ago, to a credible world power earlier this century, to a hollowed-out force with capability gaps so pronounced it has proven unable in recent weeks to meet its commitments. Responding to a significant elite defection whistle-blower — former NATO Secretary General…

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ran a not-so-subtle defense of leftists’ judicial coup against President Trump on Tuesday by downplaying the harms it poses to presidents’ executive power. The moment came during a lecture the junior justice gave at Yale Law School about the Supreme Court’s emergency (or “interim”) docket. In her speech to attendees, Jackson openly criticized her colleagues for their handling of cases that come before the court’s emergency docket. She more specifically chastised SCOTUS for its granting of emergency applications that request a stay (“pause”) of lower court injunctions and for the lack of legal explanation…
In the politics of an irrational race war, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is the leader. He came up with manipulated research, based on disparate outcomes. As a result, he has decided that whites are unfairly financially better off than people of color. He never mentions other important factors like drugs and gangs, which he and his law enforcers ignore. Outcomes do not prove racism. People who get educated and work hard can do well. Our Constitution provides equal opportunity, not equal outcomes, and does not employ communist wealth-redistribution principles.

Yahoo News demonstrated in March that it cannot manage to take a balanced approach to news, instead presenting a bipolar selection of top stories predominantly from the left compared to a smattering from the right. Yahoo News’s bipolar nature was on full display in March. The Media Research Center tracked the top 20 daily stories each morning during the month and found that the news aggregator overwhelmingly promoted stories from the left, while giving short shrift to stories from right-leaning outlets and all but blacklisting articles from center-rated outlets altogether. While Yahoo News promoted some of the most radical left-leaning…
Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. We now know something the Biden administration spent years denying: It wasn’t merely enforcing the law around abortion clinics — it was allegedly partnering with abortion activists to identify, track, and ultimately prosecute pro-life Americans. And that should stop every honest person in their tracks. Because if we’re going to have a national conversation about presidents “attacking Catholics,” as the media suddenly seems eager to do whenever President Donald Trump so much as raises an eyebrow at the Vatican, then we should probably start with the administrations that actually…

Adolescents with gender dysphoria are more likely to have psychiatric problems – and gender reassignment medical treatments tend to make things worse, not better – results of an extensive, decades-long, peer reviewed study in Finland reveal. The study, published in the April edition of Acta Paediatrica, a monthly journal for pediatric medicine, examined the prevalence of severe psychiatric morbidity among adolescents and young adults referred between 1996 and 2019 to Finland’s Gender Identity Services and how that that prevalence changed in the years after receiving treatment. The findings refute claims that medical gender reassignment improves mental health, the study reports:…
Minnesota lawmakers, frustrated over their inability to recover funds lost to fraud, came up with a proposal: imposing a 100-percent tax on fraudsters’ ill-gotten gains.“We’re calling it ‘The Take-it-Back Act,’” Republican state Sen. Steve Drazkowski said during an April 15 news conference in St. Paul, Minnesota, with state Rep. Patti Anderson, who introduced the proposal two days prior.“The people in Minnesota, they want their money back, and it’s our job as legislators to do everything we can to make that happen,” she said.Anderson, a Republican who serves as vice chair of the Minnesota House anti-fraud committee, said the bill, HF4950,…
Child care got expensive — more than $13,000 per child, per year. So many people want government to pay for it. My state just agreed. New York will fund free child care. Yay! But wait … what government does isn’t free. Taxpayers pay. And taxpayers pay more because “government rules have unintended consequences,” says Carrie Lukas of the Independent Women’s Forum. Washington, D.C. day care teachers must have a degree in Early Childhood Education. That can take two years and cost $22,000. “Of course you’re going to have to pay a lot more,” says Lukas in my new video, “when…
Woke CNN host Abby Phillip spoke to former astronaut Clayton Anderson about the Artemis II mission, which flew around the moon and travelled the farthest that humans have ever gone away from Earth, and tried to get Mr. Anderson to attack or denigrate President Donald Trump. He refused to do so, instead turning her insinuations on their head. That came when Phillip asked Anderson, in the wake of the Artemis II astronauts completing their mission of travelling deeper into outer space than any humans in history and revealing views of the far side of the moon that have never been…
A pair of resurfaced videos is going viral across social media platforms, exposing how Democrats such as Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have lied through their teeth about covering up the vile sexual crimes of disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). Pelosi stated that she had “no idea whatsoever” about Swalwell’s indiscretions while making an appearance at the American Public Transportation Association’s legislative conference. Pelosi, 86, was confronted about whether she and other Democrats have turned a “blind eye” to the sexual misconduct allegations against Swalwell, who just recently suspended his gubernatorial campaign and has announced he…
Speaking with Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, widely regarded as the architect of the administration’s effort to take down the illegal immigration threat and problem, alleged that Democrats use a “blackmail file” to control all of their politicians and break it out to get problem children like Swalwell out of the way. As background, Eric Swalwell resigned in utter disgrace after a number of scandals broke. For one, he was revealed to have spent immense sums of campaign cash on potentially legally impermissible line items, such as childcare not connected to his…
Former President Joe Biden is getting raked over the coals on social media after a video clip captured during the unveiling of a portrait at Syracuse University on April 14, 2026, led to an uncomfortable, awkward moment when he wisecracked that Jeffrey Scruggs, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, as “Barack,” a reference to former President Barack Obama. Biden, a former student of the university, was attending an event designed to celebrate the permanent installation of his official portrait at the school. While delivering a talk, Biden, 83, spotted Scruggs and said, in typical Joe Biden fashion, “I always…
Anti-Trump lawyer and political pundit George Conway choked up while chatting about a $929,600 donation he once made to former President Joe Biden during his 2024 reelection bid, which crashed and burned due to his clear cognitive decline and ouster from the Democratic Party nomination. Biden dropped out of the race in July 2024 and was replaced by then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris later lost the general election to President Donald Trump. Conway, who is currently campaigning for a House seat being vacated by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who is retiring, despite the fact he currently resided in Maryland, recounted…
Radical left-wing activist and former Georgia state representative Stacey Abrams recently made an appearance on MS NOW where she stated that the SAVE America Act would make it more difficult for several groups of people to take part in close elections, which, she claimed, could end up benefiting the Republican Party. “Oppression is very real. In elections that are decided on the margins, voter suppression comes together, whether it’s ending mail-in voting, using citizenship proof, although every citizen has to prove your citizenship to get on the rolls. These more restrictive policies all come together to make it harder for…
Joy Behar, co-host of ABC’s “The View,” went on a bizarre rant claiming that Jesus Christ never referred to Himself as the Messiah, going on to dig her hole even further by absurdly stating that if He did claim to be the Messiah He would be “narcissistic.” She was then informed, to her face, that she was incorrect and that Jesus did, in fact, claim to be the Messiah, but she still insisted it would be “narcissistic” for Him to say such. The whole conversation was inspired by a now-deleted Truth Social post where many, both conservatives and Democrats, argued…
President Donald Trump is feuding with the far-left pope, Pope Leo XIV, and a report that circulated online alleged that the reason that the pope got involved with the situation in the first place is that he had met with longtime Obama advisor George Axelrod, known for his radically far-left views. As background, the report that Axelrod met with the pope exploded online over the course of Tuesday April 14 and Wednesday April 15, and the fact that they meetin occured was confirmed by Axelrod himself. While it is not known for certain what they discussed, many online found it…
Conservative commentator and late-night talk show host Greg Gutfeld schooled New York City voters who cast their ballots in the last mayoral election for Zohran Mamdani for buying into his socialist rhetoric of “free stuff” for everyone. Gutfeld scorched Democrats in the Big Apple during a segment of the popular Fox News program “The Five.” Gutfeld brought school into session by zinging voters for thinking that Mamdani would be able to follow through on his promise of free transportation for New York residents. “This has got to be confusing for Zohran backers. They were told they get free buses,” the…

After Vice President JD Vance criticized Pope Leo’s recent Iran War comments as being a possible departure from traditionally understood ideas around just war theory, CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, responded by telling Vance to “sit down” because he has been a Catholic since the 60s while Vance only converted in 2019. Colbert then went to a commercial, and when he returned, he joined with actress and comedian Rachel Dratch to promote abortion. Meanwhile, over at Comedy Central, The Daily Show host-of-the-week Ronny Chieng also invoked abortion to suggest Vance and others were being hypocritical in their…
Announcing the titanic move to hold sanctuary city officials and the cities they lead accountable for the illegal policies in which they are continuing to persist despite being informed of the illegality of those policies by the Trump Administration, the Department of Justice revealed that it is launching a legal assault upon not just the state of Connecticut and the city of New Haven, but many of the high ranking officials involved in those sanctuary zones. Beginning the massively important press release, the DOJ made clear that it is not only the state and city that are facing serious legal…
European Union globalists were quick to seize on the defeat of Viktor Orbán in Hungary to further undermine principles of national sovereignty and further empower Brussels. In the aftermath of pro-EU Péter Magyar handily beating populist stalwart Orbán in Hungary’s elections on Sunday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen revealed that she intends to take advantage of the moment to push for the elimination of member states’ ability to veto the bloc’s foreign policy decisions. “Moving to qualified majority voting in foreign policy is an important way to avoid systemic blockages, as we have seen in the past,” the…
