In the wake of President Donald Trump's executive order outlawing debanking, major bank executives told Fox News Digital that they were under pressure by the Obama and Biden administrations to deny services to individuals and businesses for political reasons. "Those pressures were very, very real. When your regulator gives you a suggestion, it’s not a suggestion, it’s an order. The political stuff is very real, those pressures are real," a senior banking executive told Fox News Digital. Debanking refers to the practice of banks closing accounts or denying services to individuals or businesses, often with no explanation. The practice originated...

If you need a laugh, try to imagine Joe Biden or any recent president holding court in the way Donald Trump is doing it. To double the laugh, try to imagine any of the current presidential wannabes sitting in the big chair in the Oval Office. It’s an impossible exercise because of how dramatically Trump is redefining what it means to be president of the United States. His talents are vast and uniquely suited to the role he has created. For the most recent and dramatic example, take Monday’s historic meeting of European leaders about Russia’s unrelenting invasion of Ukraine....

Republicans in the Texas House were poised on Wednesday to approve an aggressively partisan redistricting, overcoming Democratic protests and delivering to President Trump the congressional map he called for, designed Republicans to pick up five U.S. House seats. The redrawing of Texas’s maps was only the first battle in what is likely to be a bruising and protracted coast-to-coast clash over redistricting between states led by Republican and those led Democrats over the coming months. The California legislature is expected to vote Thursday on a newly drawn congressional map designed to flip as many as five Republican-held seats to the...

Two teenage boys have been suspended from a Virginia high school for sexual harassment after confronting a transgender student about their presence in the male locker room. The students at Stone Bridge High School were suspended for 10 days on Friday after being found responsible for sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination on school grounds, according to ABC 7News. The controversial decision followed a months-long investigation into a video - recorded by a female student who identifies as male - that captured the boys expressing discomfort over 'a girl' being in the boys’ locker room. Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) stated...

A richly adorned grave of a Thracian warrior and his horse was unearthed in a village near Topolovgrad, according to the Greek Reporter. Previous excavations in the area had already uncovered evidence of the existence of a high-status ancient necropolis dating to the second century b.c. The tomb recently discovered by a team from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is particularly noteworthy for its rich assemblage of grave goods. The Thracian man, who was estimated to be between 30 and 45 years of age at the time of death, was buried with a gilded silver wreath around his head, a...

Dozens of anti-Israel Microsoft employees, many wearing face masks and keffiyes, swarmed the company’s headquarters in Washington state to protest the Big Tech giant’s ties to Israel’s military. The protesters set up tents in a “liberated zone” on the Redmond campus, renaming it the “Martyred Palestinian Children’s Plaza” — and toted signs that urged co-workers to “Join the worker intifada: no labor for genocide.” Other placards said “stop starving Gaza.” A group calling itself “No Azure For Apartheid” organized Tuesday’s sit-in after The Guardian reported that an Israeli military intelligence agency was using Microsoft’s Azure software to amass recordings of...

The University of Alicante announced that after eight seasons, a team of archaeologists has finished excavations of a vast Roman bath complex at the site of La Alcudia, near the city of Elche in southeastern Spain. The area was home to the Roman colony of Iulia Ilici Augusta, which was built in two phases during the second half of the first century b.c. The colony's foundation was decreed by Julius Caesar prior to his assassination in 44 b.c., and the second building phase was undertaken during the rule of the emperor Augustus (reigned 27 b.c.–a.d. 14), who allocated land there...

An IDF tank was filmed on Wednesday running over a terrorist who attempted to launch an RPG at it during the foiled abduction attempt in Khan Yunis. A cell of at least 18 armed terrorists attempted to raid an IDF outpost along the Morag Corridor in Khan Yunis, opening fire with firearms and antitank fire. The terrorists reached the entrance to the fortified position, with some managing to breach it and fire directly at the troops on guard. Soldiers from the Nachshon Battalion of the Kfir Brigade returned fire, killing around ten terrorists in close-quarters combat, while the remaining attackers...

“I am no herpetologist, but I think it is an albino python,” Foster wrote. The reptile was believed to have been someone’s pet and is thought to have been released, as this type of snake is not native to the area.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Just days after City Council President Kevin Carrico said he asked another councilman to look into how free tickets and perks for events at city-owned venues are distributed among councilmembers, he’s now going against the legislation councilman proposed and calling for the elimination of the long-held practice related to Jacksonville Jaguars tickets. The “DEEGAN Amendment,” which Carrico said stands for “Denying Elected Elites Gameday Access Nonsense,” closes the door on elected officials “using public dollars for gameday perks.” “With recent policy changes and the Council’s continued effort to cut government waste, I am proud to file the...

Last Dem ticket that won without at least one slave state nominee on the ticket as either President or Vice-President was FDR/Wallace in 1940.

It’s a tale fit for a thriller novel or action movie: planes on the tarmac waiting to take members of a violent gang to a foreign prison, lawyers rushing to the courthouse to stop them, presidential proclamations, and a judge on a mission to impose his own brand of justice. But this drama isn’t made up—it’s very real, and it’s playing out right now in Washington, D.C. Leading the cast is President Donald Trump, who wants to rid the country of a violent gang. The legal backstory for his actions has three parts. The first is the Constitution, which the...

Kid Rock is here to troll Gavin Newsom 'All Summer Long' -- and that's exactly what he's doing in a clapback to the California governor. Check out his hilarious post on X -- the singer ain't laughing at Newsom's image posted Sunday depicting KR dressed as Uncle Sam, encouraging Americans to support Newsom Instead of simply ignoring it, he had posted a rebuttal Monday night that could have come out of any middle schooler's mouth -- "The only support Gavin Newscum will ever get out of me is from DEEZ NUTZ" And if you're not cracking up at the shade,...

The number of dead and seriously wounded Ukrainians is apparently much higher than imagined.Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine some three and a half years ago, the Western media has promoted a non-stop barrage of disinformation about the military developments, trying to present a rosier picture than reality can afford.Perhaps no other aspect of the hostilities has been so blatantly misrepresented as the number of casualties and fatalities.We got to the point where Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky had the nerve to say that Ukraine had had 35 thousand losses.That is particularly absurd since we know that Kiev’s...

Beleagured cable news channel MSNBC has rebranded itself as MS NOW, but that wasn't the only new name considered. The executives at the network reportedly settled on the new name after whittling down a list of suggestions.

The era of the blank check, the photo-op, and the heroic narrative laundered by the media died in the Oval Office last night.President Trump's meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy wasn't a negotiation between peers. It was a reckoning. It was the new CEO of America calling in a regional manager to inform him the business model has fundamentally changed.They fear this meeting not because it will escalate the war, but because it will end their racket.This thread is the breakdown of the masterclass in power politics that just occurred. 🧵...
