Zohran Mamdani is a far-left radical who openly admits he will raise property taxes based on skin color – specifically, white...

President Trump on Friday evening responded to a judge’s ruling on SNAP benefits. More than 40 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits, and the $5 billion emergency fund was not enough to cover the program for November. Unions and nonprofit groups filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Agriculture earlier this week ahead of the November 1 cutoff. Funds for the SNAP benefits are drying up because Schumer and the Democrats refuse to vote for the clean CR bill to reopen the government. US District Judge John McConnell, an Obama appointee, ordered Trump on Friday to use the emergency...

Activist Judge Collen Kollar-Kotelly BLOCKED President Trump’s proof of citizenship requirement for federal voter registrations. This is nothing more than pure lawlessness. It is becoming more evident by the day that Democrats depend on fraud and broken election systems in order to gain control over the American people and push their dangerous policies. Kollar-Kotelly sided with far-left Democratic groups that sued the Trump administration for having the audacity to demand that voters in US elections are actually US citizens. According to the AP, Judge Kollar-Kotelly ruled that asking for proof of citizenship violated the separation of powers. That doesn’t make...

As the saying goes, the truth is always somewhere in the middle. Last week, The Daily’s news section published a piece titled, “Hoover-affiliated historian calls fascism fears a ‘category error’ amid No Kings protests.” As someone who attended the lecture titled, “Is this the End of the Post-WWII New World Order,“ I paid close attention to the commentary from two prize-winning historians, Niall Ferguson and David M. Kennedy, and former Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings. And for a talk that was two hours long, the title does a comically awful job at capturing the conversation’s complexity. Instead, it focused on...

Kumar, who is running for Santa Clara County Assessor, claims the text “could not have originated from” the campaignThe campaign text that flashed across Sunnyvale City Councilmember Richard Mehlinger’s phone pledged that Rishi Kumar would put money back into his pocket if elected as the next Santa Clara County Assessor. Kumar, a former Saratoga City Councilmember, is one of four candidates looking to fill the seat left vacant after longtime Assessor Larry Stone stepped down earlier this year. But Mehlinger already had endorsed one of Kumar’s opponents — Los Altos Vice Mayor Neysa Fligor — and decided to write...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — At the Arch Street Meeting House in Philadelphia’s Old City, more and more young people are seeking respite from a clamorous technological age in the silent worship of a centuries-old faith.Like other Quaker houses of worship, it follows values of simplicity and equality. There’s no clergy, pulpit or altar. No statues of saints, no stained-glass windows. No one sings or chants, burns incense or lights candles. They simply sit in silence in 200-year-old wooden pews — and wait for a message from God to move through them until they speak.“This feels different in that it’s so simple....

A drive through McDonald’s steered by a pair of babies stole the show at the White House on Thursday night as Donald and Melania Trump played host to an army of trick-or-treaters.The US president smiled and joked while passing out Hershey chocolate bars wrapped in custom blue boxes emblazoned with the presidential seal alongside the First Lady.Dozens of carved jack-o-lanterns filled with lights decorated the White House’s sprawling staircases while a military string ensemble played an array of spooky covers.Mr Trump emerged from the White House’s southern entrance to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ just two hours after returning from a gruelling...

In the publication’s 70th anniversary issue, the magazine undercut its own important legacy by attacking one of the right’s biggest icons.National Review is turning 70. The legacy of that publication is hard to sum up, but suffice it to say, its impact on American politics has been enormous, and it’s one I certainly feel personally. I worked there for a couple of years, and I was very grateful for the job and the experience it gave me. My tenure at NR only overlapped with the last few months of William F. Buckley’s life, though I had met him once earlier...

Harvard students are distraught over the university's recent report calling on administrators to reel in grade inflation. The Ivy League institution released a report on Monday that found more than 60% of grades awarded are now A's, up from about 40% a decade ago and just 25% twenty years back, leading the university to doubt the "integrity of our grading." Students are now panicking over Harvard's suggestion of limiting the number of A+ grades professors can award in order to crack down on grade inflation, according to The Harvard Crimson. "The whole entire day, I was crying," Sophie Chumburidze, a...

“Here, Congress appropriated $6 billion to SNAP in 2024as a contingency reserve through 2026, ‘to be used in such amounts and at such times as may become necessary to carry out program operations.’” ========================================================== Federal judges in Massachusetts and Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to use contingency funds to cover SNAP benefits starting tomorrow. The administration said it could not use the $5 billion contingency fund. The Democrat officials who challenged the administration claimed the Agriculture Department (USDA) has a “separate fund with around $23 billion” that it could use for SNAP. However, US District Judge Indira Talwani in...

A federal judge in Rhode Island has temporarily ordered the Trump administration to continue funding benefits for SNAP, the federally funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. "The court is orally at this time, ordering that USDA must distribute the contingency money timely, or as soon as possible, for the November 1 payments to be made," said U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell Jr.

The Justice Department is probing whether Black Lives Matter (BLM) defrauded donors who sent the organization millions of dollars during the racial justice protests in 2020, the Associated Press is reporting. Federal law enforcement authorities have issued subpoenas and served a search warrant as part of an investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. that helped ignite protests in U.S. cities following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020, anonymous sources told the wire service. Protests in some locations resulted in deaths, rioting, looting, fires, and extensive property destruction. According to AP: It was...

Riley Gaines clapped back at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in the latest edition of her OutKick podcast, "Gaines for Girls," after their recent social media feud. The two went back and forth in a spat that stemmed from AOC saying if Gaines had put "all this anger into swimming faster [she] wouldn't have come in fifth place" in the 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships. Gaines mentioned that she is in the "roughly 2%" of people who competed in Division I athletics and that "there are only eight women … who make the final and are All-Americans...

It is day 30 of the Schumer Shutdown with no end in sight. President Trump on Thursday night called on Republican Senators to initiate the nuclear option to get rid of the filibuster. It takes 60 votes to invoke cloture and end the filibuster. “….BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD “CRAZY,” THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE “NUCLEAR OPTION,” GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said. In a follow-up Truth Social Post President Trump said during his trip to Asia this week everyone kept asking him how the Democrats...

The Left has spent years telling women two contradictory things: 1) all men are rapists, so trust your gut instincts and avoid them at all costs, and 2) you must let men who say they're women into your locker rooms, lest we label you a bigot.Those same Leftists insist that men would never abuse their laissez-faire locker room policies, and that only "trans women" would access private spaces, because they're really women. Now we have a case file of men cosplaying as women who have used these lax policies to abuse women.In Virginia, registered sex offender Richard Cox had the...

We cannot win a war we aren’t even willing to acknowledge is being waged against us. It’s high time we do.Americans across the country usually have little reason to pay close attention to the politics of New York City — despite its size and status as the world’s financial capital — because it rarely affects them. However, as New Yorkers head to the ballot box next week to vote in the most significant mayoral race in decades, the eyes of the nation are fixated on the rise of a Marxist-Islamist as their likely choice in a city the nation rallied...

The country is gearing up for the 2026 midterms, and the stakes are especially high for both allies and opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration.In October, the Supreme Court heard two cases that may impact upcoming elections: one dealing with race-based congressional maps, and the other addressing whether federal candidates can challenge state laws that allow ballot counting after election day.Race-Based RedistrictingFollowing a lawsuit by minority voters, a federal court in Louisiana ordered the state to redraw its congressional map to add a second majority-black district, since that demographic made up one-third of the state’s population. After it did so,...
