Senator Adam Schiff of California, one of the Democratic Party’s leading antagonists of President Trump, has formed a new legal defense fund in recent days as Mr. Trump threatens him with federal investigations.

He served as the lead impeachment manager in Mr. Trump’s first impeachment and then on the committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. Joseph R. Biden Jr., before he left office, issued pre-emptive pardons to the members of that committee...

The irony is staggering: those protesting against the head of the Gaza Humanitarian Fund. If you truly care about lives, why are you attacking those working tirelessly to provide food and aid to Gazans? It’s hard to reconcile calls for peace with efforts to block lifesaving support." The irony is undeniable: those screaming 'genocider' at the very people providing food to Gazans—who's really calling for genocide now? These extremists, bent on escalating the situation, seem to be the ones fueling hatred and death, not those working to save lives._ 'Genocider!': Gaza Humanitarian Fund head faces pro-Palestinian threats, protests over Gaza...

Sen. Lindsey Graham told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday that if peace talks between Ukraine and Russia aren’t “moving in the right direction” by the time Congress returns next month, then “Plan B needs to kick in.” For months, the Republican senator has been pressing President Trump to support a bipartisan sanctions bill that would impose steep tariffs on countries helping fund Russia’s war. On Tuesday morning, following a phone call with Trump, Graham signaled the president may now be willing to back the effort. “Trump believes that if Putin doesn’t do his part, that he’s going...

In the wake of this week's historic White House meetings, President Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine and its allies are "already working on the concrete content of the security guarantees". Sir Keir Starmer has been chairing a virtual meeting of those nations prepared to help secure Ukraine after a peace deal - the so-called "Coalition of the Willing". And Britain has dispatched its Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, to Washington to work out how the US can help. The cogs are clearly turning. But what do "security guarantees" actually mean in practice? There is a wide spectrum here,...

Immigrants seeking a legal pathway to live and work in the United States will now be subject to screening for “anti-Americanism’,” authorities said Tuesday, raising concerns among critics that it gives officers too much leeway in rejecting foreigners based on a subjective judgment. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said officers will now consider whether an applicant for benefits, such as a green card, “endorsed, promoted, supported, or otherwise espoused” anti-American, terrorist or antisemitic views. “America’s benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies,” Matthew Tragesser, USCIS spokesman, said in a statement. “Immigration benefits—including...

A Jewish-owned business in San Jose was vandalized Monday night, with hateful imagery spray-painted on the building and work vehicles. It is being investigated by police as a targeted hate crime. "They broke the windows, they broke side mirrors and swastikas and KKK on the door," HVAC & Insulation Gurus owner Lior Zeevi said. "It's very sad and very disappointing that's to do these kind of bad things. It makes no sense - this kind of hate." Zeevi could not believe was he saw when he arrived at his business Tuesday morning. His work vehicles covered in hateful graffiti as...

California is launching a $250 million redistricting effort to reshape all 52 congressional seats, with Gov. Gavin Newsom—eyeing a 2028 presidential run—undermining the state’s independent commission to favor Democrats. Meanwhile, California faces skyrocketing gas and electricity prices, mass population flight, and crumbling infrastructure. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down how Newsom’s redistricting strategy mirrors Texas in name only and targets Republican incumbents on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

The summer of 1969 saw the world united in hope, but by the end of the year, the death of the 60s dream left the world asking: What’s next? The summer of 1969 saw the world united in hope. By the end of the year, however, the death of the 60s brought with it the end of the hippie dream of a brighter future. But the music that united hundreds of thousands of people at mass gatherings throughout 1969 lives on today. So what happened to make 1969 such a beautiful yet shocking climax to the 60s? The answer...

A coalition of 80 faith leaders from congregations across Ohio has appealed to the interim CEO of Kroger, the country's largest supermarket chain, to step back from supporting LGBT initiatives and remain neutral in the "culture war." In a letter dated Aug. 6 addressed to Ronald Sargent, the clergy accused the Cincinnati-based company of alienating its core customer base by aligning with what they described as "diabolical" and "extremist" positions associated with the LGBT movement. The signatories, primarily from Presbyterian, Baptist, Foursquare, Lutheran, and non-denominational churches, warned that ongoing involvement in pride events and similar initiatives could lead to financial...

Supporters of Georgia teen Sarah Grace Patrick, who is accused of gunning down her church-going mom and stepdad while they were sleeping, wore “I Stand with Sarah” T-shirts to court as the 17-year-old was denied bond Tuesday. Patrick turned herself in last month after she was accused of murdering her mother, Kristen Brock, 41, and stepfather, James Brock, 45, in their Carroll County home back in February. During an emotional two-hour bond hearing, prosecutors argued the teen should remain locked up amid concerns she could potentially intimidate witnesses — including her 5-year-old sister who was the person who discovered her...

Gavin Newsom is working hard to be the anti-Trump candidate. It’s obvious he wants to run in 2028 and is working hard to make himself the top dog in the Democratic field. It’s also a clown show, where most of what he proposes to fight Trump is either laughable or will never get off the ground, forever trapped in the land of the theoretical. Also, his policies have killed people.Let’s start with the first salvo, which is the redistricting threat that most have ignored because it’s a big pile of who cares? Texas is going to push through a new...

The Haywood campus of the growing First Baptist Simpsonville Upstate Church in South Carolina escaped tragedy over the weekend when leaders managed to relocate services hours before the sanctuary's roof collapsed on Sunday morning. Wayne Bray, lead pastor of First Baptist Simpsonville Upstate Church, which has 7,700 members who worship at nine locations across South Carolina, explained in a video statement on Facebook that the collapse didn't surprise them. He said one of his staff members discovered cracks in the sanctuary the night before the roof collapsed. Once they realized what the problem was, they immediately began making plans overnight...

A new report from MIT’s NADA initiative reveals a sobering reality for corporate generative AI adoption: 95% of pilot programs are failing to deliver meaningful financial impact. Titled The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025, the study is based on 150 interviews with business leaders, a survey of 350 employees, and an analysis of 300 public AI deployments. It highlights a stark divide between successful AI integrations and stalled initiatives that offer little to no return on investment [1]. According to the research, only 5% of AI pilots result in rapid revenue acceleration. The majority of projects remain...

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned that the billions of dollars being plowed into the artificial intelligence arms race risks causing a bubble comparable to the dot-com crash of the early 2000s. “When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth,” Altman said during a dinner with a group of journalists, The Verge reported on Friday. “Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes. Is AI the most important thing to happen in a very long time? My opinion is also yes.” Altman likened the AI funding rush...

Aleksandar Vucic emphasized that the state will act decisivelyBELGRADE, August 19. /TASS/. Large-scale protests in Serbia are part "of an attempt to stage a color revolution, organized and paid for from the outside," the Balkan nation’s President Aleksandar Vucic said. In an address delivered in front of a vandalized office of the Serbian Progressive Party in Belgrade, the president stressed that protesters were extremely aggressive. Vucic noted that they had nothing to offer to the country’s people but violence. The president stated that "all this is part of an attempt to stage a color revolution, organized and paid for from...

Many years ago, I was a football fan — a diehard, even. I stuck with the Panthers through seasons so bad they should’ve been classified as disaster zones, and I relished the rare payoff of seeing them claw their way to a Super Bowl. Those days are long gone. The NFL has morphed into a walking parody of itself—a late-night comedy sketch scripted straight from a corporate DEI handbook, spliced with what used to be satire about effeminacy. From the heavy-handed political sermons to the nonstop social engineering, it’s become an endurance test I have no interest in taking. And...
