Mass deportation of illegal immigrants is not enough to save America. We have to recover an insistence on assimilation. There’s a bit more to say about Democrat Illinois Rep. Delia Ramírez, who in her recent opening remarks at the second annual Panamerican Congress in Mexico City declared (in Spanish), “I am a proud Guatemalan before I am American.” You might think, as I initially did, that Ramírez is an immigrant from Guatemala. But she was actually born in Chicago. Her mother illegally entered the United States by crossing the Rio Grande while she was pregnant, which gave Ramírez birthright citizenship....

....The bills — Senate Bill 254, sponsored by Sen. Josh Becker, and Assembly Bill 825, sponsored by Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris, both Democrats — aim to lower electricity costs for Californians. Both include provisions that would force the big three utilities to accept public financing.... .

White collar conspiracy cases are mind-numbing. Murder mysteries with dead bodies and blood are riveting.The enormity of the Seth Rich case and the Cabal is unimaginable. Our government lied to the American People (See Bongino’s shocked statement). Our sheepdogs, the DOJ, FBI, and CIA, went full Stasi to protect the exposure of the Cabal. The Cabal is a RICO criminal enterprise — organized crime preying on the American people and their money (e.g., USAID — see Don Surber). Further, it was a coup to unseat a sitting president. See my body of work, which includes coverage of the Cabal’s likely...

No photo other than his mugshot is more representative of the unprecedented lawfare against Donald Trump than the photo of alleged classified documents discovered during the nine-hour armed raid of Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022. On one hand, Democrats, the news media, and even some NeverTrumpers (clears throat, side-eyes National Review) believed the iconic picture proved Trump had absconded with secret government records and carelessly left them around his Palm Beach mansion, endangering national security. Trump supporters, on the other hand, viewed the photo with disgust, a reminder of just how far the Biden regime and his FBI would go...

How Liberals Gaslighted Traditional Catholics 50 Years AgoSo many putative leaders of the Catholic Church have no problems with the Synod on Synodality, Fiducia Supplicans, or widespread cafeteria-Catholicism but are wholly supportive of Rome’s persecution of Traditional Catholics through Traditionis Custodes and other measures. This, of itself, tells us that many influential figures promoting the Vatican II revolution are gaslighting us.In his August 2, 1975 letter to Libre Belgique, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre sought to defend himself against certain criticisms related to his adherence to what the Catholic Church taught and practiced prior to Vatican II:“The repeated attacks in your columns...

President Trump is upping the ante against the terrorist drug cartels who have been poisoning America and endangering its citizens for decades in an unprecedented fashion. The New York Times reported Friday that Trump ‘secretly’ signed a directive ordering the Pentagon to start using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels. The order provides an official basis for the possibility of direct military operations at sea and on foreign soil against cartels. This means that US troops could find themselves in countries like Mexico battling the Sinaloa Cartel, for example. As TGP readers know, Trump has long floated the...

The Justice Department has launched a grand jury investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James. According to Fox News, Letitia James has been subpoenaed in an investigation focused on “possible deprivation of rights allegations” related to her civil fraud suit against President Trump. Fox News reported: The Department of Justice convened a grand jury to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James, marking an escalation in President Donald Trump’s fight with New York’s top prosecutor.

Spain has formally ruled out buying US-made F-35 fighter jets, opting instead to expand its fleet of Eurofighter Typhoons and invest in the Franco-German Future Combat Air System (FCAS). The move reflects both strategic and political divergence from Washington, especially amid renewed pressure from Donald Trump over NATO spending. .. Why the F-35 lost out Spain’s pivot is part of a wider rethink in Europe. The F-35 programme, long plagued by soaring costs, software delays, and mechanical issues, is losing ground. Recent operational mishaps, including a British F-35B grounded in India and a US Navy crash in California, haven’t helped....

Suffolk County Sheriff Steven W. Tompkins has been indicted on federal extortion charges tied to the purchase of an equity stake in a Boston cannabis company. Tompkins, 67, was charged with two counts of Extortion Under Color of Official Right by a federal grand jury. He was arrested Thursday morning in the Southern District of Florida, the Department of Justice says. “Mr. Tompkins is a sitting Sheriff, responsible for over 1,000 employees, who was elected by the good people of Suffolk County. Today, he is alleged to have extorted an executive from a cannabis company, using his official position as...

VIDEODemocrats, such as Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy love to lecture about the EVILS of Gerrymandering. Meanwhile they piously ignore the OBVIOUS about how their own states, such as Connecticut with ALL FIVE congressional districts conveniently BLUE, are Gerrymandered. Keep this in mind while watching Murphy deliver his sanctimonious lecture on the subject of Gerrymandering.

The U.S. Air Force’s plan to procure “at least 100” B-21 Raider stealth bombers is dangerously insufficient for an era of simultaneous great-power competition with Russia and China. Credible deterrent and the ability to fight a protracted, two-theater war requires a much larger fleet, in the range of 200 to 400 aircraft.

I have heard a lot of discussion about the potential ramifications of the One Big Beautiful Bill over the last few weeks. I bet you have, too. Here’s something I’d wager you haven’t heard much about: of about 340 million Americans, 83 million are on Medicaid. That’s one-fourth of us. Forty percent of American children are on Medicaid. Forty percent! Try to wrap your head around those figures. One in four of us has his healthcare paid for by the other three, who are also paying for their own healthcare. Two of every five children in the country have been...

@RepMTG Nuclear-armed Israel is not hurting, and they've already proven that they are more than capable of not only defending themselves, but annihilating their enemies to the point of genocide. The reason why AIPAC is attacking me is because I dared to tell the truth. We’re $37 TRILLION in debt. I’m fighting for America’s future generations. AMERICA ONLY now.

A federal judge abused his authority in pursuing contempt proceedings against Trump administration officials for removing alleged Venezuelan gang members from the United States in violation of a court order, a federal appeals court ruled Friday. The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was split 2-1, with two Trump appointees in the majority and an Obama appointee dissenting. The decision overturns Washington-based Chief Judge James Boasberg's finding of probable cause that officials could be held in criminal contempt.

MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee police chase ended with a fiery crash that killed the teen driver and sent two officers to the hospital on Wednesday night, Aug. 6.

The juxtaposition could not have been more jarring. I opened TikTok only to be presented with a clip of provocateur Candace Owens ranting to Tucker Carlson about her growing hatred for Israel and its demonic behavior. I closed that app, only to open X and be greeted with this headline: Hamas Forces Emaciated Israeli Hostage To Dig His Own Grave Hamas force starved Israeli hostage to dig his own GRAVE. “What I’m doing now is digging my own grave. Everyday my body becomes weaker and weaker.”Evyatar David appeared skeletal in a newly released video as he was forced to dig...

In Georgia, the zip code you’re born in may determine whether you survive an HIV diagnosis. That’s not a metaphor. That’s the reality playing out across the Southern United States, where stigma clings tighter than sweat in August, and access to testing still depends too often on who you know, how much you make, or how terrified you are of being seen at the clinic.

A teacher whom an Indiana school district fired over his religious beliefs opposing radical transgender ideology will be allowed to take the district to court. The 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in John Kluge’s favor and reversed a previous district court ruling in a win for First Amendment rights. Brownsburg Community School Corporation fired Kluge, a music teacher, for refusing to use pronouns based on a student’s alleged gender identity instead of biological sex. Kluge cited his religious beliefs, which Brownsburg did not accept as an excuse. Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), whose attorneys were defending Kluge, was thrilled...

The Department of Justice convened a grand jury to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James, marking an escalation in President Donald Trump's fight with New York's top prosecutor. The investigation is being run out of Albany, New York, and focused on possible deprivation of rights allegations, two well-placed sources familiar with the probe told Fox News Digital. The investigation is in an early stage, but Fox News Digital has learned that James's office received subpoenas for documents this week, including for information related to her civil fraud lawsuit against Trump. James, a Democrat who was elected attorney general in...
