It has been a very rough time for the Jewish people as of late. Last week, during what should be one of the most joyous times of the year, the week of Chanukah, we saw numerous attacks on Jews just for the “crime” of being Jews. In Australia’s Bondi Beach last Sunday, a father-son team of terrorists massacred innocent Jews, some of them children, just for celebrating the first night of Chanukah. The day prior, a shooter opened fire on a Brown University classroom where an economics final exam review was taking place, and, while we don’t know for sure…

To listen to the chatter of the Important People, you would think that a “decent and elevated conservatism”™ was about to return, has returned, or is just about to triumph in the person of—cue the drum roll—Mike Pence, former vice president and perpetual Mr. Goody Two-Shoes. Yes, that’s right, because a baker’s dozen of less-than-fully gruntled employees of the Heritage Foundation decamped to Pence’s “Advancing American Freedom” sandbox, we are supposed to believe—at least, we are supposed to say—that a “Reorganization of the Conservative Movement” is underway. What do you think? Does the mutiny at the Heritage Foundation…

A Wyoming conservation group filed a federal lawsuit this month against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, arguing that the agency is illegally withholding records on bald and golden eagle deaths at three wind projects in southern Wyoming. Mike Lockhart, a biologist who worked for the Fish and Wildlife Service for over 30 years, told Just the News that the data the federal government is withholding could help assess the true impacts of wind energy in Wyoming on eagle mortality. “We have no real idea of how many birds are being killed. There’s birds that I suspect are being killed that just…
A Brooklyn, New York, resident has been sentenced to federal prison for illegally shipping hundreds of protected reptiles in a scheme that federal authorities said funneled wildlife into the international black market.Wei Qiang Lin, a Chinese national living in Brooklyn, was sentenced on December 24, 2025, to two years in prison after a federal judge in Buffalo, New York found him guilty of trafficking reptiles in violation of U.S. wildlife laws.

During President Donald Trump’s first year back in office, auditors said customer service at the Social Security Administration markedly improved as tens of millions more Americans were served in 2025 and the wait times for calls being answered dropped four-fold, the agency watchdog reported in a surprisingly positive year-end report.The findings were in response to a query from Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and the auditors credited the improvements to a new telephone customer service system, changes in staffing and better training. “In FY 2025, SSA served—either by an SSA employee or automation—68 million callers, a 65-percent increase from…
The Supreme Court is preparing to decide one of the most consequential trade law cases in decades: a challenge to President Donald J. Trump’s sweeping tariff program, which has reshaped global trade and raised fundamental questions about executive power.The Constitution gives Congress the power to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises” and to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations.” Historically, major tariff decisions have flowed through legislation. But at the start of his second term, President Trump bypassed the traditional legislative process and issued a series of executive orders imposing broad tariffs. Congress also has frequently delegated to the…

The penalty for impersonating a police officer, firefighter or emergency medical officer is now a felony in Wisconsin.Lawmakers pushed for the change from a misdemeanor to felony after several incidents in the state and when Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed by a man impersonating an officer in June. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Tony Evers along with 33 other bills earlier this month. Bill sponsors said that the update was requested by law enforcement, which cited an incident where a man impersonating U.S. Border Patrol joined an officer at…

As national education spending per pupil rises, student enrollment is dropping and test scores across the United States are falling, which raises concern over how effectively taxpayer dollars are being used in public schools.Since 2002, K-12 public school spending has increased by more than 35%, yet enrollment has dropped 2.1%, which is over a million students over the past five years. Student achievement has also declined, with only one-third of students nationwide scoring at or above the proficient level on the National Assessment of Educational Progress in reading, according to the National Assessment Governing Board. Currently, 40% of fourth graders…
“Are World War II veterans still alive?” … Yep, and they’re playing the saxophone while at it! And not just playing it, killing it! Just check out Staff Sergeant Dominick Critelli, a 104-year-old WWII vet.Critelli performed the national anthem Saturday at UBS Arena ahead of the game between the New York Islanders and New York Rangers, but this wasn’t the usual “high notes followed by claps and cheers” that you hear. Born in 1921, Critelli delivered an absolutely flawless performance of the anthem on his sax, with fans from both the Islanders and Rangers joining together in song. (RELATED: Why…
Tragedy struck this holiday season as a beloved reality TV personality left us far too soon.Mickey Lee, a standout contestant from “Big Brother” Season 27, passed away on Christmas evening at the age of 35 after enduring multiple cardiac arrests, with her family sharing the heartbreaking news the following day.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Friday that the FBI is permanently closing its iconic J. Edgar Hoover Building, a headquarters since 1975, and relocating to the Reagan Building, formerly home to the U.S. Agency for International Development, in a cost-saving maneuver projected to save billions.For hardworking taxpayers, this is a rare win against the bloated budgets that often define government projects. The alternative—restoring the aging Hoover Building—would have slapped them with a bill of hundreds of millions, while a scrapped plan for a new headquarters in Greenbelt, Maryland, carried a staggering $5 billion price tag with a completion date…
Uncle Sam just inked a deal to ship migrants halfway across the Pacific for a cool $7.5 million.The tiny island nation of Palau, with a population of just 18,000, has agreed with the Trump administration to take in up to 75 migrants from other countries in exchange for substantial U.S. financial assistance. A total of $7.5 million will be paid to the Pacific nation for taking in the migrants, who have not faced criminal charges but did not come into the U.S. legally. The amount is a tiny blip on the U.S. national budget, but represents a huge windfall for…

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, has ignited a firestorm by challenging the administration’s claims of record-low border crossings, while the White House celebrates a historic security and enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border, the New York Post reported. Let’s dive into the figures that have many conservatives nodding in approval. Since President Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, a reported 117,105 migrants have been apprehended at the southern border, all turned away without release into the interior.

A federal judge just threw a wrench into a bold plan to clean up America’s food supply.In a nutshell, an Obama-appointed judge has blocked West Virginia’s groundbreaking law to ban harmful artificial food dyes and additives, a key piece of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) push, Fox News reported.

There, they rolled out a vision to purge certain synthetic additives from food, with…
Christmas took a sharp political turn this year when Hope Walz, daughter of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, used the holiday to blast U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on social media, Breitbart reported. Her message, delivered via video on Christmas Day, expressed support for communities she claims are harmed by ICE, while also touching on broader social struggles during the holiday season. Now, it’s no secret that the 24-year-old has a knack for stirring the pot with her outspoken views.

Another politician is caught with their hand in the cookie jar, this time allegedly swiping disaster relief funds for a sparkling piece of jewelry.Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Democrat from Florida, stands accused of pilfering $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds, laundering the cash, and splurging on personal luxuries like a $109,000 diamond ring, according to the Washington Examiner.

The Punisher, a prototypical 70s comic book character, had become politically incorrect in a woke culture where criminals were supposed to be treated as victims of society. (It was exactly this attitude that led to the creation of the Punisher, vigilante movies like Death Wish and a darker turn for action heroes, creating the Schwarzenegger/Stallone era and the darker Batman.) Marvel’s growing wokeness had already clashed with the vigilante character and, unlike Captain America, who became a woke enemy of the Tea Party and conservatives, there was something about a character who kills criminals that resisted ‘wokening’. The popularity of…
Elon Musk – Screencap of Twitter/X video. As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Zohran Mamdani has appointed a former chief of emergency medical services named Lillian Bonsignore to serve as commissioner of the New York City Fire Department. She has no experience as a firefighter, but the media and other various leftists are hailing her as a choice because she is a lesbian. She will be the city’s first LGBT commissioner of the NYFD and that’s all they really care about. This is diversity hiring at its finest. Elon Musk has spoken out about this, rather bluntly. FOX News reports:…
Tim Walz The Minnesota Star Tribune is the largest newspaper in the state. You would think that they would be at least mildly interested in the Somali fraud scandal engulfing the state right now, wouldn’t you? Well, as is often common in media bias, it is not only what the media does report but what they do not report, and they obviously do not want to report on this story. The Star Tribune just did a year end review of the biggest stories and did not mention the fraud scandal at all. Journalist Dustin Grage, who lives in Minnesota, pointed…

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was all smiles Wednesday morning. (@ZohranKMamdani / X screen shot) New York City’s new mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, has been living in a rent controlled apartment in the city for years, despite being raised by wealthy parents. Now, as he prepares to move into the mayor’s mansion, his old apartment is back on the market and the next tenant is likely to pay a lot more than the democratic socialist (communist) politician. That’s just typical, isn’t it? The New York Post reported: Zohran Mamdani’s rent-stabilized Astoria apartment renting for 35% more than socialist lawmaker paid:…

This past November President Trump instructed the Pentagon to, “prepare for possible action in Nigeria”, saying the U.S. could go in “guns-a-blazing” and halt aid if the government there “continues to allow the killing of Christians.” He also refused to rule out the possibility of U.S. troops boots on the ground, and declared Nigeria, “a country of particular concern” for violating religious freedoms, all of which sent the left into a frenzy, with many questioning if Trump’s warnings were warranted. Many in the left wing media like MSNBC’s Al Sharpton and CNN’s Abby Phillip had major issues with Trump shining a light on Christians being…

“The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL), a conservative legal group, is requesting the Trump administration remove race from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) ‘Social Vulnerability Index,’ which is being used by liberal localities to steer funds to communities based on race,” reports Fox News: WILL refers to what has been taking place as “DEI redlining” in its letter to Trump administration officials at the CDC and the Health and Human Services Department (HHS). It says the tool helps localities prioritize Black and Hispanic neighborhoods over White neighborhoods due to racial composition, independent of any other factors,…
Three out of four children in Brussels are non-European. The Great Replacement is real. We knew it was real for years, but we were labeled Hitlerites by the perpetrators so they could silence us. Europeans made the Western World great, and then the leaders destroyed it without the permission of the people. We have nothing against the people coming or the people being replaced, but the fact is that when globalists bring in massive numbers of unassimilated foreigners who are poorly educated to replace the educated, they set the country back. They deliberately destroy the culture, politics, education, religion, and…
WATCH: New Files Show Epstein Was ‘Too Useful’ for Banks to Drop The newest Epstein disclosures include deposition testimony that illustrates, in unusually concrete detail, how major financial institutions assessed risk, value, and accountability. The transcript does not add new allegations about Epstein. Instead, it explains why he remained bankable long after his 2008 conviction and why his relationship with major banks survived despite generating almost no traditional revenue. That institutional logic is the same logic that later drove JPMorgan to end its ties with Trump Media, and the contrast between the two cases shows how selectively these standards are…
As we begin to wrap up 2025 with Christmas presents and New Year’s Eve parties, it is naturally time to think ahead to 2026. Of course, this is the year we will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This was the founding of America as a country endowed by its Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Walter Isaacson’s remarkable new book, “The Greatest Sentence Ever Written,” captures how important 1776 was – and how vital the Declaration was in defining the rights of free…

The NFL is known to print money, so why would anything be different with their fine system? A two-point conversion by the Philadelphia Eagles in the closing moments of a lopsided game triggered a fight on the field last Saturday, leading to three players being ejected.The incident additionally led to six players being fined. (RELATED: Police Launch Investigation Into Brandon Aiyuk After Allegedly Driving Over 100 MPH Near 49ers’ Stadium) Eagles guard Tyler Steen was hit with two separate fines of $8,435 each — one for “striking/kicking/tripping/kneeing” an opponent, and the second for swinging at a player.

WATCH: School District Accused of Putting Disabled Students in Wooden Crates Every major failure in public education follows the same pattern: administrators become fluent in slogans while their most basic duties collapse. The unfolding scandal in the Salmon River Central School District is a case study in how a system that advertises “values” can fail students in practice—spectacularly, expensively, and with little accountability. Salmon River Central School District serves roughly 1,300 students in Fort Covington, New York, near the Canadian border. The district spends approximately $41 million annually, translating to about $29,000 per student. Under any reasonable standard, that level…
The College Football Playoff selection committee process continues to be controversial in year two of the expanded field. Moving to 12 teams was supposed to help remove some of the discussion and debate around which teams make it, after years of a just four teams having a chance to win a title. Instead, it’s been the opposite. Debate over the best four teams in the country has moved to debate over the best 12 teams in the country. There are those who want to reward conference championship winners. There are those who want to exclusively focus on getting the most qualified teams…
Somalia’s UN Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman during a Security Council session. The failed state of Somalia is set to assume the presidency of the United Nations Security Council in January. Despite being a largely ceremonial role, it has nonetheless been hailed by diplomats as a major milestone in the country’s international standing. For one month, Somalia will be tasked with steering the council’s routine business, including setting meeting agendas, chairing sessions, and overseeing debates on global peace and security. While the presidency carries no real executive power, it does allow the holder to play host to discussions on some of the…

California Rep. Eric Swalwell has said he wants Congress to freeze funding for the Department of Justice. In an interview with MSNBC, Swalwell said that Congress should assert its control over the public purse strings, particularly if Democrats take back control of Congress next year. She explained: Congress has real leverage here. We control subpoenas. We control funding. And if necessary, we should use both. The Department of Justice is not prioritizing its core responsibilities — protecting the country from terrorism, combating money laundering, or rooting out public corruption. Instead, its resources are being diverted toward politically motivated pursuits. That…
Ever since Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood on September 10th, 2025, members of Turning Point USA have faced harassment and hostility by left-wing extremists.
