On Sunday, The Atlantic magazine published a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory by David Frum based not on fact, but entirely on the speculation of a fervid liberal imagination.In "For Trump, This Is a Dress Rehearsal," Frum provides his theory that former President Donald Trump called out the National Guard during the immigration riots in Los Angeles to prepare for a military takeover of the 2026 midterms.

Russia has signed a contract with Iran to build eight nuclear power plants, with four to be built in Bushehr, a district in the southern part of the nation, according to an announcement by the head of the Atomic Energy Organization. Ebrahim Rezaei, the spokesman for the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, commented that the Iranian people wish to support the nuclear industry, as it secures the country's future, according to The Iran Press.

President Donald Trump told Fox News that Iran has become "much more aggressive" in nuclear talks. "Iran is acting much differently in negotiations than it did just days ago," Trump told Fox News' Bret Baier. "Much more aggressive. It’s surprising to me. It’s disappointing, but we are set to meet again tomorrow – we’ll see." Senior administration officials also told Fox News that Iran appears to be dragging negotiations on without concrete progress while pushing forward with its nuclear efforts. This comes as Israel is growing more concerned it will have to act unilaterally to prevent Iran from getting a...

[Catholic Caucus] Traditional Catholicism’s Enemies Routinely Fail These Three Common Sense ChecksAll of this is like a Monty Python skit except that it is only humorous to the enemies of God and His Catholic Church. God has permitted the crisis in the Church to reach this point to which those who persecute Traditional Catholics are unmistakably wrong.Although we pray that the tide will turn with Pope Leo XIV, one of the most astoundingly bizarre realities in the world today is that Traditional Catholics are persecuted by the putative leaders of the Catholic Church. The crime committed by Traditional Catholics is...

The United States administration is planning to send at least 9,000 undocumented migrants to Guantanamo Bay starting as soon as Wednesday, according to documents obtained by Politico on Tuesday. According to the report, the people transferred to Guantanamo are expected to remain there temporarily before being deported.

There is not a single fact, much less a body of them, that you and a lefty can agree upon to start a conversation about The Orange Man. Consuming biased media distorts what Democrats believe drives and informs conservatives. This effect does not go in the other direction. Everything we know about Democrats spews, ceaselessly, from their lips and major media. Everything they think they know about us comes from media propaganda, out-of-context video clips, and other loony bins who don’t speak for the right. This misrepresentation results in statements to Donald Trump supporters like, “I guess you’re OK with...

Constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz predicted on Monday that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit against President Donald Trump over the Los Angeles riots will go down in flames, just like his city. Speaking on his program “The Dershow,” Dershowitz expressed doubt that the U.S. Supreme Court would “second guess” Trump’s decision to federalize thousands of California National Guardsmen and deploy them to the epicenters of riots taking place across L.A. Gavin quickly sued Trump, accusing the president of “unlawfully” ordering soldiers under his control to put down the unrest. “The Supreme Court will not second-guess the President of the United States on...

Check out @MSNBC‘s take: “…..it’s not chaotic…it’s actually relatively mellow…almost like a celebratory atmosphere…”, he says within sight & earshot of burning cars & explosions. Video clip of MSNBC reporter making light of the riots

Democrats wondering why their party’s approval rating is in the tank – and why their coalition of voters is disintegrating around them – need look no further than the response to the riots that have rocked Los Angeles in recent days. Since the violence began on Friday, the country has witnessed a redux of the gaslighting campaign that accompanied the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. Even as images of masked individuals waving Mexican flags in front of burning cars flooded social media, the legacy press and Democrat politicians described chaos as “demonstrations” and the arsonists as “anti-ICE protesters.” In...

"We will step up pressure on Russia including though further...

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was spotted Monday night chatting with Steve Bannon, according to Politico Playbook. Fetterman, who has displayed his own dramatic rightward shift, was reportedly dining at a top MAGA hangout near Capitol Hill with Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle, when the conservative news site’s old director wandered up and spoke to the pair for roughly 20 minutes. Bannon took over Breitbart in 2012, and directed the site to publish patently pugnacious rhetoric and conspiracy theories cooked up by far-right activists and white supremacists. In 2016, Bannon stepped down to join Trump’s presidential campaign as its CEO, and went on...

Los Angeles police said Tuesday that a body had been discovered in an area where looting has been reported amid protests against federal immigration enforcement actions in the city.

CNN data analyst Harry Enten revealed some numbers yesterday that are going to blow the minds of Democrats. Trump’s approval rating on the issue of immigration has ‘gone up like a rocket’ according to Enten, who points out where Trump was on this issue ten years ago as compared to now. It’s like night and day. He also notes that it’s not just Trump. Republicans in general are far more trusted by the public on this issue. What is unfolding in California is just going to drive Democrats further into the gutter. They are playing right into Trump’s hands.
