    New York -- As the trade wars launched by US President Donald Trump continue to escalate, all eyes are on Wednesday. Trump has repeatedly called April 2 “Liberation Day,” with promises to roll out a set of tariffs that he says will free the US from a reliance on foreign goods. To do this, Trump has said he'll impose “reciprocal” tariffs to match the duties that other countries charge on US products. But a lot remains unknown about how these levies will actually be implemented. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that Trump would unveil his plans to...

    Val Kilmer, a homegrown Hollywood actor who tasted leading-man stardom as Jim Morrison and Batman, but whose protean gifts and elusive personality also made him a high-profile supporting player, died on Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 65. The cause was pneumonia, said his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer. Mr. Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 and later recovered, she said. Tall and handsome in a rock-star sort of way, Mr. Kilmer was in fact cast as a rocker a handful of times early in his career, when he seemed destined for blockbuster success. He made his feature debut in...

    Democrats are acutely aware of their political problems.On Sunday, for example, Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado told Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press”:The Democratic Party has lost touch with working people in our country, at a time when 50 years of trickle-down economics has meant that most Americans feel like, no matter how hard they work, their kids are not going to live a life better than the life they led.The Democratic Party brand, Bennet continued,is really problematic. And I think that it is a brand, with all respect to my colleague from California, that is associated with New York...
  • Just In: Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin Demands Trump Return Deported Venezuelan Gangsters and Criminals to U.S. (VIDEO)

    Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin is demanding the return of the Venezuelan gangsters to the United States. In an obvious of how little Democrats care about protecting America’s borders, Raskin said during a hearing that the hundreds of Venezuelan gangsters deported from the U.S. to a prison in El Salvador should be returned immediately. “I call on my colleagues to demand that the Trump Administration comply with all judicial orders while appealing whichever ones they want to appeal, and to demand the return of people unlawfully taken to El Salvador on that so-called plane full of ‘gang bangers,’” Raskin said at...

    Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Tuesday signed a directive to scrap all remaining tariffs on imports from the US with immediate effect, in an apparent attempt to win a reprieve from the Trump administration’s levy of reciprocal duties expected to be announced Wednesday. The order was coordinated with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Economy Minister Nir Barkat, but is subject to final approval by the Knesset Finance Committee. In a letter sent on March 20 to Barkat and Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter, Smotrich asked for the removal of tariffs on products from the US, mainly in the area of agriculture,...

    President Donald Trump has warned British Prime Minister Keir Starmer that a free trade deal between the U.S. and the United Kingdom hinges on the UK addressing concerns over free speech. Trump is specifically citing the prosecution of a 62-year-old pro-life grandmother as a sticking point. The U.S. State Department said it is “closely monitoring” the case of Livia Tossici-Bolt, who faces trial for holding a sign outside an abortion clinic in Bournemouth that read, “Here to talk if you want.” Trump’s administration has tied the resolution of Tossici-Bolt’s case to ongoing trade negotiations, with a source close to the...

    WASHINGTON — Elon Musk on Tuesday called for the arrest of leaders of “fake” organizations that receive federal funds — saying they represent a politically connected “uniparty” that’s engaged in “money laundering” of taxpayer resources. The Department of Government Efficiency chief’s call for legal action comes as he spearheads efforts to trim annual federal spending by $1 trillion to halve the deficit. “With respect to the non-governmental organizations, these sort of fake NGOs, I think there needs to be a number of arrests,” Musk said in an interview on Fox News’ “The Five.” “These are fake charities [run by] mostly...

    It’s the most concrete effort yet to turn President Donald Trump’s desire to acquire the Danish territory into actionable policy, despite widespread international outrage.The White House is preparing an estimate of what it would cost the federal government to control Greenland as a territory, according to three people with knowledge of the matter, the most concrete effort yet to turn President Donald Trump’s desire to acquire the Danish island into actionable policy. While Trump’s demands elicited international outrage and a rebuke from Denmark, White House officials have in recent weeks taken steps to determine the financial ramifications of Greenland becoming...

    Two of entertainment’s most famous brands, Fox and Disney, are parting ways in Century City.Walt Disney Co. acknowledged Tuesday that it will be vacating the storied Fox Studio Lot, where it has been the primary occupant since Disney bought most of Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox’s entertainment assets in 2019. The $71.3-billion deal did not include the studio real estate. However, it featured a provision that Disney would move in as a tenant for at least seven years. Disney’s lease for space on Fox’s Pico Boulevard property in Los Angeles expires next March. The company has no plans to renew...

    Republican candidates won both special House elections in Florida on Tuesday night, expanding the party’s slim majority in the lower chamber.According to The New York Times, Republican Jimmy Patronis is projected to defeat Democrat Gay Valimont in the Sunshine State’s 1st Congressional District. Located in the Florida Panhandle, the district’s residents overwhelmingly supported President Donald Trump over former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. The seat was left open following the resignation of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who stepped down after being nominated by Trump to serve as attorney general. Gaetz ultimately withdrew his nomination to the position...
  • Huge Victory: Voter ID Requirements Passes in Wisconsin by Wide Margin

    Gateway Pundit ^ | April 01, 2025 | Staff
    Wisconsin voters have overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine the state’s voter ID requirement. The amendment passed with approximately 70% support, reflecting a broad consensus among Wisconsinites on the importance of safeguarding elections. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that on the ballot is Question 1, a critical referendum to amend the Wisconsin State Constitution to require VOTER ID — a commonsense measure backed by overwhelming majorities of Americans, yet fiercely opposed by the far Left and their media allies. A “yes” vote on Question 1 supports adding the voter ID requirement to the Wisconsin Constitution, reinforcing the current law....

    Oliver Stone, whose controversial 1991 movie JFK posited the claim that the former president may have been assassinated as part of a possible CIA conspiracy, appeared on Capitol Hill this week to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. The hearing centered on the more than 2,000 files, a.k.a. the “JFK Files,” that President Trump released from the national archives last month via executive order. During congresswoman Boebert’s line of questioning, she asked Oliver Stone about a book he allegedly wrote that charged former President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) with...

    Former hostage Eliya Cohen, who was abducted from the Nova music festival and held captive for 505 days, said in an interview aired Tuesday that Hamas-led terrorists killed another captive who tried to escape as they were being taken to Gaza on October 7, 2023. Speaking with Channel 12 news, Cohen also described the difficult conditions in captivity, saying that his captors drastically increased the amount of food he was given during his last weeks in the Gaza Strip after the gaunt appearance of hostages released before him sparked international outrage. Cohen was held captive with Eli Sharabi and Or...

    Why do the Church and the world still need Pope Francis?Victor Manuel Fernández: Because this world needs a father, someone who reflects like him the fatherhood of God.He knows him perfectly, because he's been at his side for many years. Some say that Cardinal Victor Manuel "Tucho" Fernández has been Pope Francis' theological alter ego since he was his adviser at the 5th Conference of the Latin American and Caribbean Episcopate in Aparecida (2007). Therefore, he wanted him by his side and sent him to come to Rome, to entrust him with nothing less than the dicastery for the Doctrine...

    One of the delights of the last couple of months has been watching the Democrats and their regime media adjuncts running their decades-old political playbook and seeing them completely outflanked by the Trump administration running its modern playbook. Check your calendars, guys. It’s 2025, and what used to work doesn’t work anymore. You guys haven’t changed, but we Republicans have. The fact that we are no longer reacting as you expect and demand us to, along with the revolution in media that has allowed us insurgents to evade the regime media gatekeepers, has made all your old go-to moves utterly...
