Former President Donald J. Trump is planning an extreme expansion of his first-term crackdown on immigration if he returns to power in 2025 — including preparing to round up undocumented people already in the United States on a vast scale and detain them in sprawling camps while they wait to be expelled. The plans would sharply restrict both legal and illegal immigration in a multitude of ways. Mr. Trump wants to revive his first-term border policies, including banning entry by people from certain Muslim-majority nations and reimposing a Covid 19-era policy of refusing asylum claims — though this time he...

Bishop Strickland is a leading voice in a branch of US Catholicism that is opposed to the Pope's reforms. His removal comes after Francis spoke of the "backwardness" of some US Catholic church leaders Bishop Strickland has launched a series of attacks on the Pope's attempts to update the Church's position on social matters and inclusion, including on abortion, transgender rights and same-sex marriage. In July, he warned that many "basic truths" of Catholic teaching were being challenged, including what he called attempts to "undermine" marriage "as instituted by God" being only between a man and a woman.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told agency staffers that he was concerned about “a potential conflict of interest” involving the selection of the bureau’s new headquarters in Maryland, according to an email obtained by NBC News. On Thursday, the General Services Administration confirmed that the FBI’s new home would be in Greenbelt, about 13 miles northeast of Washington, seeming to bring to an end a drawn-out and politically fraught site selection process. Two other finalists were Springfield, Virginia, and Landover, Maryland. In his unusually pointed letter to staffers, Wray said the FBI has “concerns about fairness and transparency in the process...

Under Bidenomics, the song “Silver Threads And Golden Needles” should be renamed “Counterfit Silver Threads And Fool’s Golden Needles.” Or simply, Bidenomics is no good. Conforming mortgage rates have actually dropped -34 basis points since hitting a local high of 7.81% on October 19, 2023. Unfortunately, mortgage rates are still up 169% under Biden and his signature Bidenomics. Even worse, home prices are up 33% under Bidenomics making housing even more unaffordable. While real weekly earnings growth finally turned positive in 2023, growth is already slowing again as The Fed’s balance sheet slowly declines. But its so easy for the...

Now more than ever with the rise in antisemitism, I feel we have a responsibility as Jews to speak up and speak out, and also know how to protect ourselves because the reality is people don’t seem to want us around, and it’s hard," she said. But it appears that the rise of hate against Jews is changing a lot of minds on the efficacy of the Second Amendment. "I think a lot of people were hoping that we were past that – I know I definitely was – but I think current events have shown us that may be...

If someone attacks your troops 46 times in less than a month, you are at war with them. But the Biden administration certainly does not want to admit that we are at war with Iran. We are heading into an election year, and many Americans don’t want to hear that we are involved in yet another war in the Middle East. The mainstream media isn’t telling us the truth either. Even though U.S. troops in Syria and Iraq have now come under fire 46 times since October 7th, the mainstream media continues to insist that we aren’t actually “at war”...

October 7, 2023 could also be a fateful date for Western countries where millions of violent Muslims live. The pro-Hamas demonstrations in major cities in Europe and North America have shown citizens that the Muslims living in their midst may not be a cultural asset after all. Politicians react to this change in their voters’ attitudes with threatening words, but no one knows whether they mean it. In Britain, some nationalist groups are taking the law into their own hands and opposing Muslim and progressive protesters. Far-right groups, from football hooligans to so-called “migrant hunters,” are trying to mobilize supporters...

EILAT, ISRAEL — In a moment I’ll give you a preview of my interview with Israeli Minister Gideon Sa’ar, a member of Israel's security cabinet and the highest-ranking Israeli official I’ve interviewed since the war with Hamas began. But first let me just take a moment to share with you what my wife, Lynn, and I saw last night while we were driving south from Jerusalem to Israel’s southernmost city.

In the last twenty years, we have seen as a people the near-complete erosion and extinction of conservative policies and programs in US politics. The United States is EXPONENTIALLY becoming a secular socialist state while rapidly abandoning and despising our representative republic. Our Judeo-Christian heritage, morality, and values do not dominate our culture and society as they once did which has led to our ruin. Conservatism Without the Righteousness of Almighty God is a Big ETERNAL ZERO! Another reality is that many have never known any other kind of society than what presently exists. Accountability, responsibility, and virtue are “hisses...
