Lefty journos are still trying to score cheap shots against President Trump and showing why they’ve lost all public trust in the process. Take CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. A deranged Resistance freak from way back, she proved true to form when she shrilled out “Do you trust President Putin?” while Trump was talking about the prospects for peace in Ukraine. Nothing of substance. Nothing actually advancing journalism around a potentially huge world event, i.e. an end to Putin’s war. Just a cheap play for seal-claps and social-media dopamine. Collins clearly still believes it’s January 2017, when the hottest ticket in TV...

Governor DeSantis is not happy about some shenanigans going on in the Florida legislature. Political backlash and public outcry have prompted a compromise between Florida governor Ron DeSantis and the state’s Republican legislators on Florida’s immigration policy, following a prolonged dispute over how to handle illegal aliens. On Monday, newly proposed legislation reintroduces key measures that align more closely with DeSantis’s and President Trump’s immigration strategy. To advance the bills, DeSantis called for another special session of the Florida Legislature to “enact policies that will help end the illegal immigration crisis once and for all.” He emphasized that he and...

The liberal media and abortion activists claimed that banning abortions would kill women. Women won’t get health care, they will be turned away when they have a miscarriage, and abortion bans will ultimately kill women. Those where the lies the pro-abortion left told people over and over again about what would happen if states ban abortions after the Dobbs decision overturning Roe. V Wade. Today, the CDC proved those claims totally false. The U.S. maternal mortality rate decreased to 18.6 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2023, down from 22.3 in 2022, according to new data from the Centers for...

BRUSSELS (AP) — Increasingly alarmed that U.S. security priorities lie elsewhere, a group of European countries has been quietly working on a plan to send troops into Ukraine to help enforce any future peace settlement with Russia. Britain and France are at the forefront of the effort, though details remain scarce. The countries involved in the discussions are reluctant to tip their hand and give Russian President Vladimir Putin an edge should he agree to negotiate an end to the war he launched three years ago. What is clear is that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy needs a guarantee that his...

President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency is accomplishing in weeks what conservatives have been talking about for decades. Already, DOGE has cut close to $1 billion in waste per day, dismantled the left-wing slush fund known formerly as USAID and is exposing the depths of the Deep State’s corruption — most recently the millions of taxpayer dollars that FEMA has been sending to hotels in New York City to house illegal immigrants. Elon Musk and his team of 20-something-year-old tech geniuses will continue to whip up public outrage over Washington’s monstrous misspending. But they can’t defeat the Washington Leviathan all...

Nearly half a billion in taxpayer-funded media manipulation. If an obscure nonprofit received hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars, trained thousands of journalists, influenced media outlets worldwide, and quietly scrubbed its leadership and key records from the internet—wouldn’t you want to know why? That’s precisely what’s happening with Internews Network, a so-called “independent” media organization almost entirely bankrolled by USAID since 2008. Through extensive U.S. government funding, Internews has trained journalists, produced media content, and shaped global narratives, all while supporting censorship initiatives under the guise of combating “misinformation.” Internews has been systematically erasing its public-facing disclosures. Critical information...

Before she was Elon Musk's fourth baby momma, Ashley St Clair was one of many influencers riding Donald Trump's wave to the White House. The 26-year-old announced on Twitter on Friday night she had a five-month-old child with the 'First Buddy' after months of exchanging flirty comments. St Clair is a longtime writer for the Babylon Bee, a right-wing version of The Onion, and first made shot to fame amid a slew of controversy. She stepped aside as a 'brand ambassador' for conservative youth organization Turning Point USA in 2019 after posing for a photo with white nationalists. Among those...

Investing.com -- The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is set to lay off thousands of employees next week, according to a late Friday report by Bloomberg. This decision could strain the tax agency's resources during the crucial tax-filing period. The command to dismiss probationary employees, who are relatively new to their roles and lack full civil service job protections, came from the Office of Personnel Management. This office is responsible for overseeing federal hiring. The directive was issued last Thursday. The exact number of IRS employees who will be dismissed remains uncertain. The IRS currently employs approximately 100,000 people. The...

A Warning to the Conservative Base: Government Layoffs and the Reorganization of the Democratic Machine Conservatives, take heed: the wave of government layoffs looming on the horizon is not just a fiscal adjustment—it’s a catalyst that could reinvigorate and reorganize the Democratic machine into a more formidable adversary. As of February 2025, economic pressures and potential policy shifts may lead to significant reductions in government employment, a move that might initially seem like a victory for small-government advocates. However, this could backfire, providing the Democrats with an opportunity to adapt, strengthen, and expand their influence in ways that threaten the...

Life for Mike Elvis Tusubira, a motorcycle taxi rider with HIV in Uganda, has been turned upside down since US President Donald Trump halted foreign aid last month. Not only does the 35-year-old fear for his own survival as he takes life-saving anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs - but he says he will have to split up from his wife as they can no longer have safe sex. His partner is HIV-negative and relies on PrEP, a medicine that reduces the risk of contracting HIV. "It means that even my marriage will end, because actually without the preventive measures, she's not going...

Kelsi Sheren, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran injured in Afghanistan, is calling on UK citizens to take a stand against the legalisation of euthanasia, highlighting cases where disabled veterans have been encouraged to consider assisted suicide. Sheren served as an artillery gunner in the Canadian Armed Forces. “I served in the Canadian Armed Forces as an Artillery Gunner in Afghanistan,” she recently shared. “During my deployment, I was sent outside the wire to work alongside the British military in OP TORA ARWA. That mission changed my life. I was injured and medically released in 2011 with PTSD, hearing loss and...

Score another win for parental rights and common sense. Three school districts in New Jersey were given the green light to drop a controversial transgender student policy after years of legal wrangling. On Monday, a state appellate court issued the ruling allowing Monmouth County districts Middletown, Manalapan-Englishtown and Marlboro to remove from their books the state’s guidelines on how parents are notified if their child decides to transition. The decision was welcomed by members of the Middletown school board. On Thursday night, they voted 7 to 1 to toss controversial policy 5756 in the dustbin — and simply deal with...

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency can continue to access sensitive records from at least three federal agencies after a federal judge in Washington denied a request to block Musk's budget-slashing team from the Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. U.S. District Judge John Bates, in a late-night ruling, denied a request made by a group of unions and nonprofits to issue a temporary order blocking DOGE from the sensitive records maintained by the three agencies. … The judge's decision came down to the question of whether DOGE has the authority...

New York lefties are howling for Mayor Eric Adams’ blood, insisting he sold his soul to President Donald Trump to avoid federal prosecution; it’s a great way to distract from progressives’ own lack of answers to the city’s problem. AOC, state Senate No. 2 Mike Gianaris, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and the whole pack of Democratic mayoral wannabes all insist that only an imagined corrupt bargain can explain why the Justice Department ordered charges against Adams dropped, and why the mayor isn’t fighting tooth-and-nail against ICE’s efforts to catch and deport violent criminal “asylum seekers.” Never mind that Justice honchos...

What we know Freed hostages Sagui Dekel-Chen, Sasha Alexander Troufanov and Iair Horn have crossed into Israeli territory after Hamas transferred them to Red Cross custody in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip More than 300 Palestinian prisoners and detainees were set to be freed during this the sixth exchange under the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. Before today, a total of 16 Israeli and five Thai hostages had been released from Gaza, and hundreds of Palestinians set free from Israeli detention. Earlier this week, the truce appeared close to breaking down after Hamas said it was suspending today’s...

Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital 🚨JOE ROGAN: "The (Deep State) cant conspire right now because their phones are tapped. The power that the Government has to look into people's emails, their phones, their texts, their signal, their everything -- the idea that they're not doing that if they're not in the middle of a trillion dollar fraud investigation is ridiculous. They also have to worry about people taking deals. There'll be some people that squeal. So you don't know who's your enemy and who's your friend and you go to lunch with someone and they're wearing some button camera and now...

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to controversial political operatives through their charity, according to documents reviewed by The Post. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been spending big on high level Democrat party aligned sources, according to public records, including hiring a ‘disinformation expert’ who worked at a company involved in every high-profile US election since the 90s. The move could further widen the divide between Harry and his family, after brother Prince William recently met with President Donald Trump. King Charles is also said by the British press to have maintained...
