Yesterday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to enforce the Hyde Amendment, reinforcing the prohibition of federal funds for elective abortions. This action underscores the administration’s commitment to preventing taxpayer dollars from being used to fund killing babies in abortions. The Hyde Amendment, first enacted in 1976, has been a longstanding policy barring the use of federal funds for abortions, except in very rare emergency cases. Trump’s executive order not only reaffirms this policy but also revokes previous executive orders that sought to protect access to abortion, thereby reversing this part of Joe Biden’s radical abortion agenda. In conjunction...

Explanation: Clouds of stardust drift through this deep skyscape, across the Perseus molecular cloud some 850 light-years away. Dusty nebulae reflecting light from embedded young stars stand out in the nearly 4 degree wide field of view. With a characteristic bluish color reflection nebula NGC 1333 is prominent near center. Hints of contrasting red emission from Herbig-Haro objects, the jets and shocked glowing gas emanating from recently formed stars, are scattered across the dusty expanse. While many stars are forming in the molecular cloud, most are obscured at visible wavelengths by the pervasive dust. The chaotic environment surrounding NGC 1333...

A mere four days into his second term, President Donald Trump made every single pro-lifers’ vote for him worth it by pardoning 23 people the Biden administration targeted for their peaceful opposition to abortion. Trump’s Thursday afternoon executive order effectively nullified the Biden administration’s attempt to weaponize itself against mostly Christian activists who spent their time praying, worshipping, and evangelizing at abortion facilities across the nation. It also proved that all of the moaning, groaning, and grandstanding from “principled” pro-lifers about Trump betraying their base was completely unfounded and unwarranted. It is true that Trump’s personal position on abortion is,...

President Donald Trump had a "fiery" phone call with Denmark's Prime Minister last week, putting the NATO ally into "crisis mode," the Financial Times reported, citing officials briefed on the matter. European officials told the FT the call did not go well and that Trump was aggressive and confrontational with his Danish counterpart. Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment Friday afternoon via email. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's office said it "does not recognise the interpretation of the conversation given by anonymous sources" and pointed Newsweek to Frederiksen's official press release detailing the phone call.

Czechia may establish return centers to help Ukrainian refugees who fled the war to return home, according to the Ministry of the Interior. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov will discuss the initiative during his visit to the country next week, as reported by Deník N. Similar centers are being prepared in Berlin, and Ukraine is also negotiating such projects with Poland. These centers aim to assist Ukrainians with the logistics of returning while also serving as cultural and community hubs. Chernyshov recently noted that most returning refugees could be exempt from military mobilization and said Ukraine is prepared to...

The White House's Office of Personnel Management did not mince words when addressing agency heads in a memo outlining the next steps for federal workers' return to office. "Federal office buildings sit mostly empty, particularly Washington, D.C.-area agency headquarters offices, devastating the local economy and serving as a national embarrassment," Charles Ezell, the acting director of the OPM, said in the Wednesday memo. Ezell added that "virtually unrestricted telework" has led to "poorer government services" and also hampered departments' ability to train and supervise workers. The OPM defines telework as an arrangement in which employees are expected to report to...

Polish Prime Minister also said his Hungarian counterpart "is playing in Putin’s team"MOSCOW, January 25. /TASS/. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk threatened his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban with consequences if he vetoes the extension of sanctions against Russia. "If Prime Minister Viktor Orban really blocks European sanctions at a key moment for the war, it’ll be absolutely clear that in this big game for the security and future of Europe, he is playing in [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s team, not in ours. With all the consequences of this fact," he wrote on X. On January 24, Orban demanded that, ahead...

An Alabama woman passed a major milestone Saturday to become the longest living recipient of a pig organ transplant – healthy and full of energy with her new kidney for 61 days and counting. ... Looney’s vibrant recovery is a morale boost in the quest to make animal-to-human transplants a reality. Only four other Americans have received hugely experimental transplants of gene-edited pig organs – two hearts and two kidneys – and none lived more than two months. Montgomery called Looney’s kidney function “absolutely normal.” Doctors hope she can leave New York – where she’s temporarily living for post-transplant checkups...

Vented attics are a major contributing factor when it comes to the spread of wildfires, as embers that are in the air are drawn into the attic space, resulting in an attic fire. Many homes and buildings in California feature vented attics and this significantly exacerbated the intensity and spread of the 2025 wildfires. This isn't just a California problem, this is anywhere that is prone to wildfires. Unvented conditioned attic assemblies are significantly safer in wildfire zones, as they do not allow outside air or embers to enter the roof assembly. In this video, we discuss why vented attics...

On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about the NFL playoffs.Marlow said, “You guys know the NFL just rigs it for the Chiefs, right? Because they need to have Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl. … [T]hat does seem real, right? … I don’t follow sportsball that close. I haven’t watched any football this year, I don’t think. … I’ve seen some of the calls.”

Gavin Newsom can't be trusted with billions in bail-out money for the torched neighborhoods of Los Angeles. That much is obvious to your humble West Coast, Messed Coast™ correspondent. That's what you call a cold open to this week's West Coast, Messed Coast™, report where I've been keeping close track of the fire response. Gavin Newsom and his minions in public office — especially L.A. Mayor Karen Bass — can't be trusted to properly account for what will be a years-long effort to rebuild the charred parts of L.A. County. The governor who lost or misspent BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in...

The time I’ve spent watching Democrat senators during the ongoing confirmation hearings for President Trump’s nominees has been beyond tiresome. snip So should we have term limits in the Senate? The Senate is clearly a mess, and it seems pretty much dysfunctional. But how did we arrive at this point? Was it caused by a defect in the Constitution? Not at all. The Founders intended that senators be appointed by their respective state legislatures. It was never intended that senators be politicians, elected by the voters. They weren’t until 1913, when the 17th Amendment was ratified. How has that change...

The Depression of the 1930s was more than an economic crisis. All of American society was upended, as economically hard times forced people to question their deepest beliefs about America and the American experiment. Perhaps capitalism wasn't the way to a better society. Millions of intellectuals and ordinary people toyed with the idea that Communism may be a viable alternative economic and social model. This was before the horrors of Joseph Stalin and Soviet Communism were exposed and Communism discredited. America's left-wing intelligentsia embraced Communism. The Soviet Union's fight against Nazi Germany, supported enthusiastically by American Communists, blinded many of...

In a decisive move that has sent shockwaves through the political elite in Washington, President Trump has dismissed 17 inspectors general. “The inspectors general were dismissed via emails from the White House Presidential Personnel Office, with no notice sent to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who have pledged bipartisan support for the watchdogs, in advance of the firings, the person said,” reports Politico. “The emails gave no substantive explanation for the dismissals, with at least one citing ‘changing priorities’ for the move, the person added.” Trump’s brazen move provides an early test for Congress, less than a week into Trump’s return...

President Donald Trump dismantled Democrat Representative Brad Sherman’s defense of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), arguing that state governments, not federal bureaucracy, should take matters into their own hands rather than waiting for federal incompetence. President Trump did not mince words about FEMA’s shortcomings during a press conference on Friday with Los Angeles officials after touring the damage caused by the wildfires. Pres. Trump: I do have to say FEMA is a big disappointment. We had it working well. We had great people, but FEMA is not good anymore. What FEMA did in North Carolina. They still haven’t even...

A Florida man ​has been arrested for making “violent” threats against President Trump, police said. Shannon Depararro Atkins​ allegedly made posts on social media targeting the ​Commander-in-Chief. Atkins, 46, was arrested just before 7:30 p.m. Friday during a traffic stop in West Palm Beach — where he was allegedly found with cocaine, cops said. Authorities arrested Atkins after a tip, and the West Palm Beach man allegedly admitted making the “violent posts,” authorities said. “America needs one good bullet to be saved,” Atkins allegedly wrote on Facebook on Jan. 19, a day before Trump was inaugurated for his second term....
