Thousands of far-left protesters have swamped Washington, D.C., as part of the “People’s March” to protest President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. The march served as a platform for progressive causes, which consisted of extreme anti-cop rhetoric with the threat of descending into violence. Protesters chanted “Lock him up!” and other slogans, such as “Elon Musk has got to go!” as they marched through the nation’s capital. The deep-seated animosity from eftists against the incoming administration is concerning, given that a number of leftist socialist groups with a history of causing violence and chaos will also be present. Demonstrators vowed to make...

If you’re wondering what’s next for a region ravaged by wildfires, consider this possible future: Much of Los Angeles County and surrounding areas is about to need therapy. If not immediately, then soon. And possibly for years. Mental health woes – in the form of everything from anxiety and depression to unexplained rage and suicide – could plague the city long after the current disaster fades from the news. Post-disaster Los Angeles might even appear as if it’s stuck in the COVID era, with a small but noticeable slice of the population battling a persistent and sometimes deadly disease. Those...

President Donald Trump offered a scathing rebuke of his predecessor's term while laying out the immediate actions he plans to take on the first day of his second term in office, saying in his inauguration remarks, "America's decline is over." Trump whiplashed between painting a dire picture of the country under the Biden administration while proclaiming himself as a "peacemaker and unifier" and that the "Golden Age" of the country is beginning. He also referenced his personal legal battles and historic political comeback to the White House during his nearly 30-minute remarks after taking the oath of office in the...

On his final day in office, Joe Biden issued controversial preemptive pardons for several high-profile figures, raising questions about the integrity of the pardon process. Among those pardoned were retired Gen. Mark Milley, accused of treason for actions during Trump’s final months, and Dr. Tony Fauci, who faced perjury allegations. Biden also pardoned several members of the January 6 Committee, which tampered with evidence and witnesses and committed obstruction of justice. But if you thought that was the final disgrace of President Joe Biden, you were wrong. Literally, moments before he officially lost the powers of the presidency, the Biden...

WASHINGTON — Ronald Reagan probably didn’t realize he was starting a tradition when he wrote a note congratulating his successor and left it in the Oval Office desk drawer after two terms as president. He did that for George H.W. Bush, his successor and vice president of eight years. Bush did the same for Bill Clinton, who left a note for Bush’s son George W. The younger Bush left behind written words for Barack Obama, who later put pen to paper for Donald Trump. Trump curiously continued this rite of presidential passage by writing a letter to Joe Biden, even...
