The White House confirmed Tuesday that the Trump administration invoked a little-known provision of federal immigration law to arrest pro-Palestinian protester Mahmoud Khalil. The move grants Secretary of State Marco Rubio broad authority to declare individuals “deportable.” And, predictably, the radical left is furious. On Wednesday, a reporter thought he had cornered Rubio with a question, and ended up getting destroyed as a result. “President Trump appealed to a lot of Americans during his campaign on free speech arguments and not suppressing speech, especially from the government,” the reporter began. “But your revocation of the green card, to many is...

[Catholic Caucus] New DC Cardinal McElroy has long record of promoting LGBT ideology, downplaying abortionThe newly-installed archbishop of Washington, D.C., Cardinal Robert McElroy, has strongly pushed for giving Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians, repeatedly attacked Catholic doctrine on sexuality, promoted LGBT activists, and encouraged ‘ordination’ of women, among other things.WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Robert McElroy was installed on Tuesday as the eighth archbishop of Washington, D.C., making him one of the most prominent figures in the U.S. Catholic Church.

A Nasa-SpaceX mission that aimed to clear the way for two stranded astronauts to get back to earth has been postponed. The Falcon 9 launch from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station was put back due to a hydraulic ground issue. There is another possible launch opportunity on Thursday. The rocket aimed to fly four new crew members to the International Space Station (ISS) and pave the way for the return of Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore. The two Nasa astronauts flew to space in June but were not able to return on a Boeing spacecraft after it was deemed...

The Heritage Foundation is proposing that the U.S. wind down military aid to Israel as part of a strategy to “re-orient its relationship” with the country over the next two decades, a notable stance for the prominent conservative think tank given the long and deep support for Israel among conservatives and Republicans. The Heritage report on moving the U.S.-Israel strategy, “From Special Relationship to Strategic Partnership,” was crafted by its defense experts and released on Wednesday. “Just as Israel once advanced from a financial assistance recipient to an economic partner of the United States, so, too, should it move from...

Last Friday, the Easley Police Department said it received a 911 call about a medical emergency for a woman who had recently given birth at an apartment complex. Police and Pickens County EMS responded to the scene around 8:30 p.m. Officers said they found a newborn baby boy with serious injuries.

George Soros gave $7.6 million to one of five groups accused of targeting Elon Musk’s Tesla company, The Post has learned. Tesla cars, Cybertrucks, dealerships and charging stations have been set on fire, shot at and sprayed with graffiti across the nation in acts of politically charged vandalism since Musk’s new Department of Government Efficiency started making government cuts.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) responded to plans to eliminate the federal Department of Education by claiming that “Ruby Bridges needed to be escorted into those schools and the folks who went into Little Rock because we didn’t have an Education Department that ensured her civil rights were respected. That’s gone now.” And stated that “when Trump says it’s a bunch of bureaucrats interfering with your local schools, give local control, we’ll give you the money, it sounds pretty good. And we have not provided what that alternative looks like.” Walz said, “What...

In a barrage of pronouncements on Wednesday the Trump administration said it would repeal dozens of the nation’s most significant environmental regulations, including limits on pollution from tailpipes and smokestacks, protections for wetlands, and the legal basis that allows it to regulate the greenhouse gases that are heating the planet.But beyond that, Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, reframed the purpose of the E.P.A. In a two-minute-and-18-second video posted to X, Mr. Zeldin boasted about the changes and said his agency’s mission is to “lower the cost of buying a car, heating a home and running a...

The blowhards at MSNBC’s Morning Joe should realize that continuing to shoot lies through their whitened tooth implants on the air about Elon Musk doesn’t make them any more true. What’s worse is that they don’t even attempt to be clever about it. Both hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were popping their brain corks over Musk’s March 10 interview with Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. Both just lied about the subject matter. Mika went first during the March 11 edition of Morning Joe, shamelessly claiming Musk “referred to the federal spending programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, as...

Shocking footage captured the disturbing moment a 'Karen' spit on another parent over a seating dispute at a Florida kindergarten graduation. Police were called to the incident at Meadow Woods Elementary School in Orlando earlier this month, reported The Root. Viral video from the altercation appeared to start in the middle of the dispute with a woman telling a man there was a seat available on the bench for him. After the man sat down, the pink pant clad woman told him, 'We're all sitting, it's all right.' But he replied to her complaining that there is not enough space...

Corrupt U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan has unleashed a legal assault on Elon Musk and the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), greenlighting a fishing expedition that threatens to expose DOGE employees to the wrath of left-wing bureaucrats. On Tuesday, radical left Judge Tanya Chutkan, a disgustingly dishonest Trump-hater who believes she was elected to lead this country and take down Trump, issued an order today in State of New Mexico, et al. v. Elon Musk, et al. that demands Musk and DOGE cough up sensitive documents and data within a mere 21 days—all to appease a coalition...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “The Hill,” Hawaii Gov. Josh Green (D) reacted to the Trump administration’s push to turn education over to the states by stating, “I’ll take it” as long as states don’t lose money. He also stated that, among Democrats, “there’s a lot of concern that the changes are too quick and we don’t like to see anyone lose jobs.” Host Blake Burman asked, “So, it’s kind of interesting, because I essentially just heard the Republican president basically say, give it to the states, the governors are doing a great job. You’re a Democratic Governor. So, that’s...

She’s at it again. Chelsea Clinton is back peddling abortion and making bogus claims that killing babies is good for the economy. She’s done this song and dance before. Clinton appeared at the South By Southwest (SXSW) event in Texas, a state that protects babies from abortions and is enjoying a fiscal boom with thousands of people relocating there. Despite her celebrity status as the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, one report indicates very few people showed up to hear her pro-abortion drivel. “The convention center room was only one-third full, while a line outside the room snaked through...
