It takes the undeveloped ego of a toddler to pout this long. But if Elmo on Sesame Street can learn how to share, surely these three can too. For all its concern about a peaceful transfer of power, the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR) are probably not planning a story about the three board members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) who have refused to leave the board after Trump removed them in April.Not so long ago — in 2020 and 2021 — PBS and NPR were spreading propaganda that President Donald Trump was going...

New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani received a hero’s welcome from lefty members of Congress – including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders – as he trekked down to Washington DC Wednesday in hopes of garnering more support from an array of Dems. The 33-year-old socialist attended a breakfast event hosted by Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at the AC Hotel in Navy Yard that was filled with mostly House Democrats, including Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who endorsed Mamdani after his shocking Democratic mayoral primary win last month. Many of Congress’ most ardent liberals were quick to get face time with...

A drunk-driving Rhode Island state representative called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents Nazis after the arrest of a confessed MS-13 terror gang member whom the politician called a “neighbor.” Enrique Sanchez, who represents Providence in the state’s House, slammed the agents on X, apparently unaware just whom he was defending. Sanchez’s incendiary comment is of a piece with those of other far-left Democrats who have accused ICE agents of Nazi or Gestapo tactics. Such labeling, federal authorities say, is the reason agents are facing a more-than 800-percent increase in assaults. Arrest and ReactionThe occasion of Sanchez’s deranged outburst was...

FBI agents are out executing search warrants at eight locations around the Twin Cities in yet another massive state benefit fraud case involving — I’m just going to say it — Somali perpetrators. This [July 16, 2025] is day one of the case going public. I have embedded one of the eight unsealed search warrant affidavits below via Scribd — all 81 pages of it. What January 20, 2021 was to the Feeding Our Future case, July 16, 2025 is to this case. No charges have yet been brought. Today the authorities are gathering physical evidence.The state of Minnesota was...

The Federal District Court for the District of Columbia has been a safe haven for Democrats, with the justices there willing repeatedly to favor plaintiffs who have filed suits against the Trump administration. Margot Cleveland obtained a memo from a federal judicial conference held this past March showing that the DC judges are actively hostile to Donald Trump and want to ensure the Supreme Court shares that hostility. This behavior crashes into the federal canons governing judges, as well as into the reality of Trump’s conduct. Before Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025, the DC District Court had...

"This boondoggle, led by the incompetent Governor of California, Gavin Newscum, has cost Taxpayers Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we have received NOTHING in return except Cost Overruns."

There’s a strange, unsettling irony in the endless chants for Donald Trump to release the so-called “Epstein names.” For many in his base, these demands feel like the final frontier of truth and justice. But this obsession isn’t born merely from a desire to protect the vulnerable or expose elite wrongdoing. Instead, it’s the byproduct of a deeper, more painful economic story — one that tells us far more about modern America than any flight log ever could.When Jeffrey Epstein, charged with child sex–trafficking, was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019, under bizarre circumstances — broken...

Walt Disney’s first theme park debuted 70 years ago, and almost everything that could go wrong did. Sweltering temperatures, inoperable rides, massive crowds, and dwindling food and drinks. Disneyland was hardly the “Happiest Place on Earth” during its grand opening on July 17, 1955. It was 70 years ago that Walt Disney debuted his pioneering theme park in Anaheim, California, promising a fun escape for family members of all ages. He invited around 15,000 patrons—mostly special guests such as Disney studio workers, construction workers, members of the press, and dignitaries—to be the first through the gates. Amid the pomp and...

The creep accused of murdering “American Idol” executive Robin Kaye and her husband was a heavy drug user who terrified neighbors with his antics, local said – and he also had several alarming arrests to his name. Raymond Boodarian, 22, lived in a condo just 13 minutes from the $4.5 million Encino home where Kaye and her husband were executed during a suspected break-in last week, and his neighbors told The Post he was a constant problem. “We had a lot of problems with him because he’s taking drugs. Every now and then he would be outside high,” said 80-year-old...

Former President Barack Obama and wife Michelle have finally sought to shut down the long-running rumors they’re headed for divorce — even though they’ve barely been seen together in months. The former first couple jointly addressed the speculation swirling around their three-decade marriage for the first time Wednesday, joking on the latest episode of the ex-first lady’s podcast that it was “touch and go for a while.” “He made time in his busy schedule to come on. We are honored,” Michelle, 61, told listeners before her co-host and brother, Craig Robinson, shot back, “Wait, you guys like each other?” “She...

The co-founder of retail giant Home Depot said he is 'sold on Trump' after slamming the president's tariffs as 'bulls***' months ago. Billionaire Ken Langone made the surprise about-face during an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box Tuesday, adding that Trump 'has a good shot at going down in history as one of our best presidents ever.' Langone, 89, had previously said that he was afraid Trump would spend the next four years 'getting even,' admitting he made a 'mistake.'

EL AVIV—Israel on Monday began negotiations with several countries it hopes will take in Gazans as part of a mass emigration plan first proposed by President Donald Trump, two Israeli officials with knowledge of the talks told the Washington Free Beacon. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer briefed the rest of the cabinet on the talks in a closed-door meeting on Saturday evening. The leaders said the talks were expected to continue for several days with the goal of securing commitments from the other countries to accept specific numbers of Gazan migrants in exchange for...

A 19-year-old man was arrested over the weekend after throwing a Molotov cocktail at the Dickinson County Republican Committee headquarters in Iron Mountain, Michigan. Zayn Edward Arcand, who allegedly identifies as “genderfluid,” appeared for his arraignment via Zoom Monday afternoon. Arcand admitted to throwing the Molotov cocktail, which failed to ignite, at the Republican Party office “to send a message against the corruption.” The suspect acted out of dissatisfaction with Trump administration policies, according to authorities. Arcand was charged Monday in Dickinson County District Court with arson and manufacturing and possessing a Molotov cocktail. A witness reported seeing the suspect...

WASHINGTON — A Biden administration plan to create a “green” fleet of postal vehicles has churned out a mere 250 electric mail trucks in just over two years — after shelling out taxpayer funds meant to build thousands — leaving Republicans raging at the multibillion-dollar “boondoggle.” The nearly $10 billion project — which called for more than 35,000 battery-powered US Postal Service (USPS) vehicles to be completed by September 2028 — was funded in part by $3 billion in funding from former President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. As of this month, the project is well behind schedule despite...

Another round of immigration judges began receiving emails on Friday informing them they are being let go, NPR has learned, adding to the growing list of immigration court personnel cut by President Trump amid his efforts to speed up deportations of immigrants without legal status. Fifteen immigration judges learned Friday that they would be put on leave and that their employment would terminate on July 22, according to two people familiar with the firings and a confirmation from the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), a union that represents immigration judges. The two people spoke on condition of...

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White addressed the constant physicality star guard Caitlin Clark continues to face in the league after Clark went down with what appeared to be a groin injury during Tuesday night’s win over the Connecticut Sun. Speaking to reporters after the 85-77 win. White was asked about her thoughts on the "physical battle" Clark has faced – both throughout the season and in Tuesday’s game. "Are you trying to get me fined again?" White asked with a laugh, before expanding on her answer. "There’s a level of physicality that they’re able to play with against her....
