India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!! President DJT

Daily Readings from the USCCBTaking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over—twelve wicker baskets full. Matthew 14:19–20An important aspect of this miracle that is easy to miss is that Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes through His disciples’ instrumentality. He did this by inviting them to assist in the distribution of the loaves and in the gathering of the fragments...

As the Russian advances accelerate for fourth straight month, Ukrainians have lost the strongholds of Donetsk region’s Toretsk and Chasov Yar, and the Russians have also entered the city of Kupyansk, on the northern Kharkov region. In the meantime, the siege of Pokrovsk continues, and even Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky had to confirm that ‘small groups’ of the Russian Armed Forces are ‘breaking through’ to Pokrovsk. As August arrives, the attackers advanced on the Sukhetsky suburb north of Rodinsky. Slavyangrad reported: “At the moment, it seems that the deepening of the defense crisis of the Armed Forces of Ukraine...

The declassified appendix to the much-anticipated report by Special Counsel John Durham has sent the internet ablaze over its documentation of Hillary Clinton's insidious scheme in 2016 to falsely tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia in order to boost her own presidential campaign. That vendetta would culminate in one of the most notorious political witch hunts ever foisted on the American people that would effectively hamstring the administration of a duly elected president for four years. But one of the most damning revelations was that leftist billionaire George Soros, the City Journal-dubbed "Connoisseur of Chaos" who has used his billions...

Say hello to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Say hello to a blue wave in the 2026 midterms. Say hello in 2028 to President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. If President Trump and congressional Republicans keep this up, it will only be the start of the progressive takeover. Left-wing populists are already winning over voters by raising hell about the rising price of clothes and groceries due to tariffs. The growing appetite for populist left voices damning the high cost of living made headlines earlier this year in the successful “Fighting Oligarchy,” tour featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez.

Labubus took the internet by storm in 2025. But as the trending toy continues to sell out, fans are turning to their fake counterparts, dubbed “Lafufus,” to fill in the gap. Pop Mart sells the plush monster-like dolls that are so ugly they’re cute and have grown in popularity this summer among kids and adults alike, making it feel impossible to get your hands on one. The lucky folks who have scored a genuine Labubu likely spent hours refreshing the Pop Mart app and TikTok shop for the chance to purchase one. Due to limited stock, fans have chosen to...

South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace on Monday officially announced her 2026 bid for governor of the state. Mace announced her much-expected run on a campaign website that reads: “Nancy Mace for Governor,” with a video of several media clips compiled together, in addition to President Trump calling her a fighter, saying that “when she sets her sight on something, she’s tough.” On Sunday evening, Mace posted on social media that on Monday that she would make a "Big Announcement," making her bid almost certain. She enters a crowded and competitive GOP primary field for the seat of Republican Gov....

You just can't make this stuff up. When Lawrence and Abbey Butler's 56-year-old son, Timothy Garlington, passed away in Georgia, they had his remains returned to Pennsylvania for burial. The shipping funeral home was Southern Cremations & Funerals at Cheatham Hill, and the receiving funeral home was Nix and Nix. It's probably a standard procedure for folks who die away from home. [Fair Warning: from this point forward, this story has a gross factor of 10/10.] What's not so standard is that at some point in the process, someone removed Garlington's brain from his body and put it in an...

VIDEOThe BEST way to force compliance from local officials who refuse to cooperate with ICE is simply to threaten to terminate their political grifting careers. Watch just how FAST and EFFECTIVE such a threat was in Florida when Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings, after steadfastly refusing to cooperate with ICE, almost instantly changed his mind when faced with the threat of his removal from office. These officials will do anything to keep their grift going as you can see.

‘How many people do you employ this month?” might sound like the kind of question an employer can easily answer, but it’s not. Especially for large businesses, the exact number of employees in a given month is hard to pin down. The media report layoffs and hires in round numbers, but for calculating total employment in the country, it really matters whether “500” means 478 or 523, because those discrepancies multiplied across millions of businesses make a huge difference. Within government, Donald Trump’s appointee as BLS commissioner, William Beach, has been a leader in calling for modernizing the surveys that...
