The Supreme Court delivered a stunning blow to President Trump's birthright citizenship executive order, which sought to declare that babies born in the U.S. to mothers unlawfully present or in the United States on temporary visas would no longer automatically receive U.S. citizenship. The ruling in Trump v. Barbara was 6-3, with Justices Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberal justices in striking down the order. The ruling was exceptionally long, nearly 200 pages. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a scathing dissent, grounding his reasoning in the view that the 14th Amendment was meant to apply...

President Donald Trump's Board of Peace announced on Wednesday that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for "Palestine Refugees" can not partake in rebuilding Gaza. The Board of Peace shared a post on X by the US Mission to the UN stating: "UN Member States have a choice: Fund incitement, terrorism, and stagnation with pledges to UNRWA. Or fund the Board of Peace, giving Gazans a path to peace and prosperity. History will not forget." The Board of Peace added: "UNRWA has no place in the new Gaza. We are turning the page on the complex of perpetual aid...

A pair of kissing-daredevils clad in dark clothes and a cat mask scaled the Empire State Building’s 1,454-foot antenna to unveil a cringe message over New York City. The duo – which appears to be a man and a woman – were carrying a banner reading “when the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace.” The banner’s message is a slightly modified version of a quote frequently misattributed to guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, which was actually spoken by 19th-century British politician William Gladstone. The woman in the reckless duo appeared to be wearing a black...

The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding tells Iran that Hezbollah survives and Israel leaves. The Trilateral Framework says that Hezbollah disarms and that, until it does, Israel stays in Lebanon. The negotiations with Iran were led by Vice President JD Vance, who never wanted this war and made no secret of his wish to end it cheaply. He produced the Islamabad MOU, the paper Iran's regime wanted to hear. The Trilateral Framework was created by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has spent his career treating Iran's proxy network as a threat to be dismantled rather than soothed. Iran negotiated the...

Alnaji, one of the leaders of a pro-Hamas contingent protesting against Israel in Thousand Oaks, California, on November 5, 2023, crossed two major thoroughfares to confront Kessler, who'd had the audacity to stand on a corner opposite Alnaji's group and wave an Israeli flag. As words were exchanged, Kessler took out his phone to video Alnaji, at which time Alnaji "decked" Kessler, according to an eyewitness. Ron Bamieh, Alnaji's attorney, claims his client acted in self-defense and is “not a violent man. He was at a rally exercising his right to protest, a tragic chain of events followed.” He says,...

US-Saudi relations have significantly deteriorated in recent months amid anger in Riyadh over Washington’s decision to launch a war against Iran that has caused massive blowback for the rest of the region, a Middle Eastern intelligence official tells The Times of Israel, confirming a Wall Street Journal report. Saudi Arabia refused to allow the US to use its bases in order to conduct Project Freedom, which was aimed at breaking Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz by escorting stuck ships out of the channel. Saudi bases and airspace were critical to the operation and Riyadh’s refusal to cooperate forced...

As a pragmatic and patriotic American I respectfully suggest and recommend the U.S. State Department immediately institute the “Roberts Requirement” following similar visa entry protocols previously used for COVID-19 tests prior to U.S. admittance. The Roberts Requirement: Each female visa applicant must present a valid negative pregnancy test taken no longer than 10 days prior to travel to the United States. The certified document, negative pregnancy test, together with all related visa approvals must be presented to Customs and Border Patrol at each port of entry. Failure disqualifies the traveler. This is the same protocol as COVID-19, only using pregnancy...

The central question Scripture asks is not “How much do you have?” but “Who has your heart—God or your money?” The prophets roar with indignation against the wealthy who forget God…Their message is a powerful reminder that how we acquire and use our wealth is a matter of worship. Amos condemned the rich who "trample on the needy and bring the poor of the land to an end" (Amos 8:4, ESV). Isaiah pronounced woe on those who "add house to house and join field to field" (Isaiah 5:8, ESV)… These prophetic critiques make it plain that God judges not the...

The EU says protecting Europe's identity is against its values. Eva Vlaardingerbroek - Eva Vlaardingerbroek on X. Campaigners behind the ‘Save Europe Act’ say the European Commission is preparing to reject their European Citizens’ Initiative after receiving a letter warning that its proposals appear to violate the European Union’s fundamental rights and values.

KEY TAKEAWAYS • Only 53% of Americans express strong national pride — the lowest point in 25 years of polling. • The partisan gap is staggering: 70% of Republicans are “extremely” proud versus just 14% of Democrats. • Democrats’ rejection of patriotism, not national decline, is driving the collapse in American pride. • Conservatives and older Americans remain the steadfast guardians of national identity heading into the 250th anniversary.

We have already seen that politicians will not give up the right to trade equity instruments while in office. How about requiring them to announce publicly any trades 24 hours before they make the trade. This would still let them trade in the market, but give others equal access to the information before they make the trade. They will still fight this as it would blunt their returns, but it takes away the argument that we are denying them access to equity markets.

A spate of rulings from the Supreme Court couldn’t be more of a mandate if they were handed down, gift-wrapped, and sealed with a kiss by God: The mass deportation of illegal aliens is legal and imperative if there’s any hope of saving this country. One ruling declared it within the president’s authority to interpret the word “temporary” as the opposite of “permanent” with regard to migrants who have been permitted to live within the U.S. for what is understood to be a finite period. He can order their removal. (Good!) A separate ruling, on the other hand, affirmed automatic...
