When U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joe Edlow returned for another stint in the Trump administration, he expected to wrangle with a mess left by the Biden administration’s border crisis. Soon, however, Edlow would be met with a surprise. Not only was USCIS forced to tackle a record-setting pile of asylum cases, but he was tasked with leading an agency that, for 4 years, did very little to address immigration fraud. The director has since buckled down on asylum fraud, identifying discrepancies in immigration programs and tightening election integrity. “What I didn’t know was what some of our...

Answer We believe that the Sabbath was instituted in Eden before sin entered, that it was honored of God, set apart by divine appointment, and given to mankind as the perpetual memorial of a finished creation. It was based upon the fact that God Himself had rested from His work of creation, had blessed His Sabbath, or rest day, and had sanctified it, or set it apart for man (Gen. 2:1-3; Mark 2:27). We believe, further, that it was none other than the Son of God Himself, the second person of the eternal Godhead, who was the Creator of Genesis...

President Trump took the adage about finding yourself in a hole and stopping digging to heart, at least when it comes to illegal immigration, where his almost miraculous improvements at the southern border have resulted in the first sustained decrease in the immigration court backlog in nearly two decades. In little more than six months, Mr. Trump pared the Biden-era backlog of more than 4.2 million pending cases before immigration judges to 3.8 million. Some of that is because of better efficiency in the immigration courts, officially known as the Executive Office for Immigration Review. However, “the real change has...

The change comes as Comcast's NBCUniversal spins off cable networks into a new company. Are you ready to watch MS NOW? That will be the new name of MSNBC when Comcast's NBCUniversal spins off its cable networks into a new company, Versant, at the end of this year.

As Janssen sat down, he noticed that Buddy’s depression had lifted. Janssen wondered why and probed for an answer. “She was talking to the angels,” Buddy said. “In the last hour, God let me know.” "But then Buddy asked Janssen an unexpected question. “Want to see?” Buddy walked into another room and returned with photos of his wife. He said he took them just before she died. Janssen was puzzled when he looked at the first photo of May. He saw her do something that seemed impossible. As he flipped through more photos of May’s last moments, his confusion turned...

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has outdone herself. At a time when violent crime, illegal immigration, and public safety dominate national concerns, the governor of New York decided her top priority was granting clemency to an illegal immigrant with a manslaughter conviction. ......

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office attempted to deflect blame from the Democrats in light of one of their illegal constituents killing three innocent Americans and accidentally admitted that the sanctuary state of California is wholly responsible for the tragedy. As The Gateway Pundit reported, an illegal alien, who obtained his truck driving license (CDL) in the Democrat-run sanctuary state of California, killed three Americans after he made an illegal U-turn on a Florida highway this week. The driver, identified as Harjinder Singh, was arrested and charged with three counts of vehicular homicide after he made an insane U-turn directly in...

President of the Republic of Korea Yoon Suk Yeol and first lady Kim Keon-hee (Credit: U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class John Bellino) Guest post by Kim Yu-jin, Citizen of South Korea ========================================================================= Can you imagine a former president and first lady jailed at the same time — and the personal data of 5 million citizens seized by the regime? In 2025, this nightmare has become my reality. This is not justice. It is a planned political purge that should alarm everyone who values freedom, the rule of law, and the U.S.-Korea alliance. A First in History...

Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin yielded no ceasefire, but it revealed the contours of a possible peace—where diplomacy, exhaustion, and hard limits define the battlefield’s end. At the August 15 Alaska summit, Vladimir Putin performed as expected. He desperately wants an end to Western sanctions, détente with the U.S., and assurances that the U.S. will not impose a disastrous anti-Russian secondary boycott—and, apparently, some additional Ukrainian territory. Consequently, Putin, in his media synopsis, talked more about restored friendship with a “neighborly” United States under Trump. He scarcely mentioned Ukraine directly—other than to imply to Westerners that he seeks not merely...

Silence on the official history of 1939 to 1945 has led to a flowering of creative interpretations. When did World War II end? Or, when will World War II end? This may seem a rhetorical question to most, with Aug. 15 marking the 80th anniversary of V-J Day (Victory Over Japan Day). On that date, Japan supposedly surrendered unconditionally. Few realize, however, that the state of war between the Allies and Japan did not legally end until years later with the Treaty of San Francisco, which was signed in September 1951 and took effect in 1952. That treaty did not...

I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON, and who LOST, the Election. We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED. WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE...

Bolivians take their country back. Was there ever a sweeter headline than this, coming from the Washington Post of all places? Socialism is defeated as Bolivia heads to presidential election runoffIt must have been so painful for them to write it.

It is an interesting thing to suddenly lose one’s freedom. It would be very interesting on this day, June 3, 2022. The first thing FBI agents do when they grab you is pull your arms behind you and put you in handcuffs. No matter how gently they might try to do it, it’s still going to take a pretty good pull on your shoulder sockets. And in this case, they weren’t particularly gentle....

New Orleans is the most unique city in the United States, a 307-year-old gem of beauty, history, and culture. It is the birthplace of jazz and musical legends such as Fats Domino and Louis Armstrong.

With so many wonderful attractions, New Orleans should have a thriving economy, a wealthy population, and excellent public services. Instead, New Orleans is in a perpetual state of crisis, with decaying infrastructure, dilapidated streets, rampant violent crime,...
