Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook described the Atlanta condominium she bought in 2021 as a second home, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times and The Washington Post. A filing from May 2021 listed the property's use as a "vacation home" and a December 2021 form she provided to the Biden administration called the condo a second home, the Washington Post reported. She submitted the December document after President Joe Biden nominated her to join the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors. A similar review by The New York Times reaches the same conclusions but...

The man accused of assassinating right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was reportedly living with a transgender partner. The 31-year-old father of two was shot on Wednesday while answering a question about gun violence in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested over the murder. Multiple media outlets in the US on Saturday night claimed Robinson was living with a partner who was ‘transitioning from male to female.’ The partner, who lives with Robinson in a three-bedroom apartment in Utah, is ‘fully co-operating’ with the FBI.

In Iowa, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) criticizes New York members of Congress who haven’t endorsed Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy for NYC Mayor. “That kind of spineless politics is what people are sick of,” he says. “They need to get behind him, and get behind him now.”

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wants the House to form a select committee on “The money, influence, and power behind the radical left’s assault on America and the rule of law.” “In the wake of numerous attacks on our way of life, the destruction of the rule of law, and the murder of innocent Americans, prominent and unknown alike, we must take every step to follow the money and uncover the force behind the NGOs, donors, media, public officials, and all entities driving this coordinated attack,” Roy said Thursday in a press release.

Over 3 million protesters led by right-wing activist Tommy Robinson marched through central London on September 13, 2025, in one of the city’s largest anti-immigration rallies in recent years. Demonstrators waved Union Jacks, St. George’s Crosses, and even American and Israeli flags while chanting against illegal migration and calling for “free speech.” Many wore MAGA hats and carried signs like “Send Them Home,” as police deployed 1,600 officers to keep them apart from around 5,000 counter-protesters under the Stand Up to Racism banner.

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson appears to have been a member of a bizarre Steam group named “Read This If Your Gay,” a title that eerily mirrors the mocking inscription “If you read this, you are gay LMAO,” which was etched on a bullet casing at the crime scene. Steam is a video game platform that lets you play, discuss, and create games on your computer. The group’s profile featured cartoonish imagery, including anime-style characters, underscoring the meme-driven world in which Robinson and his associates seem to have operated. Incredibly, members of the group were issued a frantic warning...

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman has a warning for his party: learn from the politically charged whirlwind that put Donald Trump back in the White House and secured Republicans control of both chambers of Congress or risk staying in the minority. “They have forgotten one of the reasons why we lost in 2024,” Fetterman said of his fellow Democrats in a wide-ranging interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on “Inside Politics Sunday.” The Pennsylvania Democrat, who was first elected by just a five-point margin in 2022, said some of the party’s more left-wing views were “weaponized” against Democrats last fall. “Some people...

Based on discussions with retired senior US military officials, the best chance for the F-35 Ferrari option is not as an option if the F-47 falters or is delayed. Where it may have the greatest utility, said one source very close to the program, is that technologies being developed for the Block 4 F-35 are close to the baseline for the very first models of the F-47. There is the possibility of a happy marriage there, I was told, that is the option with the greatest potential. Based on what National Security Journal is being told, if there is a...

From the documents (and no verification they are real yet): “The content of these messages included messages affiliated with the contact ‘Tyler’ stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where a rifle was left, a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel. The messages also refer to engraving bullets, and a mention of a scope and the rifle being unique. Messages from the contact Tyler also mention that he had changed outfits.” Earlier in the document: Uhhhh... We have...

I have been warning America for more than a decade (in uniform and out of uniform) about the rise of Islamism and Marxism, an unholy alliance that doesn’t accept any form of God at its very core. I have been consistently standing up against these dangerous ideas and I have been persecuted for speaking TRUTH TO POWER. I have the distinct “honor” of being fired by two presidents, one because he couldn’t handle the truth and the other who was told a lie by those Judases around him. Judases who still exist today. However, this short missive is not about...

A distinguished Harvard Law professor and legal scholar was hammered on social media after spreading a debunked rumor that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination was "ultra-MAGA" and that Republicans were trying to "blame" liberals for the tragedy. Laurence Tribe made the comment in a post on X that shared a lengthy post from an account called Occupy Democrats, which attempted to paint a picture of suspect Tyler Robinson’s political ideology. "Kirk’s apparent assassin seems to have been ultra-MAGA, exploding the GOP/MAGA attempt to pin the blame for this tragedy on liberals," wrote Tribe, a professor at Harvard Law School...

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed the existence of a note written by Charlie Kirk's assassin prior to the killing last week, but he has declined to offer details. [cut] Discord vice president Jud Hoffman confirmed on Friday that there had been “communications between the suspect’s roommate and a friend after the shooting where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere.” Cox declined to offer details about the note but appeared to confirm its existence when asked about it on CNN. “Those are things that are still being processed for accuracy and verification and...

We stand up against the violence of abortion, for not only does it kill innocent, precious lives, abortion also kills our culture and creates one where some people think killing someone they disagree with is justified. We must show our nation that to be pro-life is to love life, all lives… This is the lowest point at which our nation has ever been. So, through my tears, I want you to know that I see you and am with you as you fight this battle. We all know the work we do to protect Life comes at a cost. I...

Let me take you on the journey of how my daughter was groomed into being a trans identifying child at the age of 13—and I assure you, my story is not uncommon, I have heard its refrain echoed from many others with ROGD (Rapid Onset of Gender Dysphoria) kids… My daughter’s story began innocently enough…my daughter got her period… Then, in 8th grade, my daughter stopped being a good student. She became obsessed with an older girl she met, who identified as a boy. My concern grew. I started to go through all of my daughter’s devices, old, obsolete i-phones...

In an interview on MSNBC "PoliticsNation" host Rev. Al Sharpton asked New York City mayoral candidate ZohranMamdani "you say you want to raise taxes on the wealthy to fund a bigger budget for the changes you want to implement in how the city is run. How will you keep them from leaving?" "When you ask New Yorkers what is it that is making them feel uneasy in this city, you often hear from them about the cleanliness of our city, the safety of our city, the affordability of our city. We are not asking to raise these taxes for the...
