“When it comes to the interpretation of the Constitution — the ‘great charter of our liberties,’ which was ‘meant to endure through the long lapse of the ages,’ — we place a high value on having the matter ‘settled right’ ...When one of our constitutional decisions goes astray, the country is usually stuck with the bad decision unless we correct our own mistake” – (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization 2022). The time has come for the Court to do just that — correct the mistake it made a decade ago and overturn the disastrous and unconstitutional decision that legalized...

(Raymond Boyd/Michael Ochs Archives/Jaap Arriens/NurPhoto/MANDEL NGAN /AFP via Getty)Scarborough also suggested that "everybody" who’s known Trump for years has said he has "mentally devolved." The MSNBC co-host then said he wanted to know "when it’s safe" to start talking about whether Trump should be taken off his presidential duties.Scarborough’s comments came a month...

For weeks, House Republicans have been turning up the heat on the Biden administration—and now, one of the First Lady’s closest aides is officially on the hot seat. Anthony Bernal, a longtime senior advisor to former First Lady Jill Biden and often referred to as her “work husband,” has been subpoenaed to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on July 16 at 10:00 a.m., according to an official subpoena obtained Thursday. The hearing will take place at 2247 Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. Bernal had previously agreed to voluntarily testify behind closed doors today,...

A New York Republican group has asked President Donald Trump to revoke the citizenship of and deport Zohran Mamdani, the likely Democrat candidate for New York City mayor. Mamdani, who defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the first round of the ranked-choice Democratic Party primary election on Tuesday, was born in Uganda and raised in New York City. He was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2018, Newsweek reported. The 33-year-old Muslim is a state assemblyman and self-described democratic socialist. The New York Young Republican Club has called on the federal government, namely White House deputy chief of...

The Manhattan Contrarian makes this point: "It was just four years ago, in April 2021, that New York completed the forced closure of the two perfectly functional Indian Point nuclear plants, with combined generating capacity of about 2 GW, for no other reason than relentless opposition from environmentalists and NIMBYs. And yet now the Governor is saying that the plan is to start over and build a new nuclear plant at some unspecified place."

And that has crippled the Court.. Last year, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, despite being in her early 50s and having an undistinguished career before her affirmative action appointment, published a memoir. You might be forgiven for having missed it when “Lovely One” came out. As the media politely notes, it was “briefly” on the New York Times bestseller list and is now going for half price on Amazon. That is mostly to be expected of the ghostwritten memoir of an obscure judge. Except that Jackson received a $893,750 advance for her memoir and is now reporting $2 million in profits...

The Pentagon released stunning footage Thursday showcasing exactly how 30,000-pound heavy-duty bunker-buster bombs work such as the ones used against Iran’s nuclear sites demolished fortified targets deep underground. The video showed a GBU-57 series MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator) crashing into a target and kicking up a massive plume of dust moments before a blinding inferno appeared in a shaft during a test detonation. Pilots who dropped the MOPs on Iran called the blast “the brightest explosion” they ever saw, saying, “it literally looked like daylight.” “Unlike a normal surface bomb, you won’t see an impact crater because they’re designed to...

When archaeologists were called to investigate a sinkhole that opened up in the city of York, they were surprised to find traces of a medieval hospital, according to a report by The Independent. The team encountered walls hidden just beneath the city streets that they believe once belonged to the twelfth- or thirteenth-century St. Leonard's Hospital. The institution was built just after the Norman conquest and replaced the earlier St. Peter's Hospital, which was founded by the Anglo-Saxon King Aethelstan. Stretching from what is now York's Museum Gardens to the Theatre Royal, St. Leonard's was one of the largest hospitals...

This isn’t Barack Obama’s party anymore. It’s AOC’s. It’s Ilhan Omar’s. And now, it’s Mamdani’sFor years, the Democratic machine in New York managed to contain its most radical flank with centrist figures like Eric Adams and, before him, Michael Bloomberg. But that firewall has crumbled. Mamdani, backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, the Working Families Party, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is ushering in a new era – one that reads more like a utopian manifesto than a functioning blueprint for the nation’s largest metropolis.Under Zohran’s New York, we’re looking at government-owned grocery stores, free public transit and permanent political handcuffs...

At around 6 a.m. this morning, hundreds of people across Germany awoke to police officers at their door. Their only ‘crime’ is to have openly made critical or offensive comments on the internet, many about specific politicians. German police raiding right-wing Compact Magazine’s editor-in-chief’s home, Twitter This is not a scene from the Third Reich or the German Democratic Republic, but from the Federal Republic in the 21st Century. Officers from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) intend to make approximately 170 house visits today, to investigate ‘hateful’ or insulting comments made online. Suspects have had their tablets, laptops, and...

Today, 4:32 pm Share US President Donald Trump says nothing was moved from an Iranian nuclear facility, echoing his defense secretary who earlier today said he is unaware of any intelligence suggesting Iran had moved its uranium to shield it from US strikes over the weekend. “The cars and small trucks at the site were those of concrete workers trying to cover up the top of the shafts. Nothing was taken out of facility. Would take too long, too dangerous, and very heavy and hard to move!” Trump, without providing evidence, writes on his social media platform.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth received an opportunity to put arguably the most despicable Pentagon reporter in her place today, and it was a sight to behold.As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hegseth delivered a masterclass performance during a Pentagon press conference on Thursday, in which he tore into their slanderous coverage of U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Reporters immediately sought to play down the significance of the strikes and accused the Trump administration of exaggerating the accomplishment.Even more absurdly, the top takeaways some reporters, including leftist Fox News Jennifer Griffin, was Hegseth supposedly disrespecting females by saying, “Our boys on...

The modern state of Israel often stirs intense debate, especially among Christians navigating its place in biblical prophecy and today’s geopolitics. Some equate the modern government of Israel with the biblical Israel of old, demanding unwavering support — a conversation that has been trending on social media as of recent, due to a fiery Tucker Carlson/Ted Cruz face-off. Others veer into antisemitism, demonizing Jewish people as a whole.Both extremes miss the mark. Scripture, particularly Romans 9–11, offers clarity: the modern Israeli government is not biblical Israel, but God’s covenant with the Jewish people endures, and hatred toward them is sin....

VIDEOIran performed at least one great public service. It humiliated PAID DNC shill Harry J. Sisson by nuking what little credibility he pretends to have.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states can ban Planned Parenthood from their Medicaid programs, reversing an earlier appeals court ruling against South Carolina's bid to defund the nation's largest abortion provider. The high court released its opinion in the case of Medina v. Planned Parenthood on Thursday morning, ruling 6-3 that federal law does not stop the Palmetto State from banning abortion providers from Medicaid. Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the majority opinion, being joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. "To prove that a statute secures an...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, during a Thursday morning news conference with Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, scolded members of the media for focusing on an early assessment indicating that strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites may not have been as devastating as President Donald Trump and the administration had reported. The report, Hegseth said, had not been coordinated with other agencies in the intelligence community and pointed out that other assessments showed a different picture of the damages to the sites hit in last weekend's "Operation Midnight Hammer." But, he said, the media has "breathlessly" reported about...

Just because the judiciary chooses to violate the Constitution does not mean the other branches are required to follow suit. ... Since returning to office, President Trump has faced what can only be described as a judicial coup. Through the use of overreaching nationwide injunctions, predominantly Democrat-appointed judges have gleefully granted requests from left-wing activists to block enforcement of the agenda 77 million Americans voted for last year. Yet, despite this egregious affront to America’s constitutional framework, Trump and his administration are neglecting to stop it. The latest example of the administration’s refusal to uphold separation of powers is its...

TEHRAN — Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini declared a resounding victory over the United States and Israel after Iran destroyed 14 American bunker buster bombs with its nuclear facilities. In a video message released today, Iran's Supreme Leader said that the advanced American ordinance was no match for the destructive capabilities of Iran's foremost nuclear sites. "We have brought utter and complete obliteration to the weapons of our enemies," the Ayatollah declared triumphantly, brushing soot off his turban. "The pitiful Zionist bunker busters were ultimately annihilated by our nuclear facilities. Our nuclear bomb program, which did not exist before the Americans' failed...

Former Wall Street money manager and financial analyst Ed Dowd of PhinanceTechnologies.com has been forecasting “Danger of Deep Worldwide Recession in 2025.” It looks like his thesis is turning out correct. He predicted interest rates would be declining. They did. And inflation has been going down right along with the economy as illegal immigration was being stopped and deportations ramped up. Dowd says, “Our friend Joe Biden spent anywhere between $500 billion to $2 trillion to bring these people in and set them up. Now, that’s all going the wrong way. Trump has shut down the border crossings, and as...
