The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for President Trump to remove a Federal Trade Commission commissioner and agreed to resolve long-standing constitutional questions about White House authority over independent agencies. In an unsigned emergency order, the justices said they would permit the dismissal of Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter while the case proceeds. They also agreed to hear arguments in December, signaling that the Court is prepared to revisit—and possibly overturn—a 1935 ruling that limited presidential authority over the FTC and similar commissions. Trump had removed Ms. Slaughter, a Democratic commissioner, earlier this year, contending that the statutory protections...

The US economy is absolutely screaming. Late rent payments and loan delinquencies are skyrocketing, and the top 10 percent of earners account for nearly half of all consumer spending. In early September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the nation added over 900,000 fewer jobs than previously thought from March 2024 to 2025. Yet, as bad as things might feel for common folk, financial markets have never looked better — the tech-dominated Nasdaq continues to reach record highs, and the country’s GDP has grown by more than 50 percent since 2020. The catch here is that this growth is...

It’s always problematic when a relativist claims to be the sole source of truth. ChatGPT defines relativism as: “Relativism is a philosophical stance suggesting that truths, values, or knowledge are not absolute but are instead relative to a specific cultural framework, historical context, or individual perspective.” Trust me, no one makes it clearer that his “truth” is based on a particular, secular, cultural framework, distorted historical context, and above all a twisted individual perspective on life than the current cultural pontificator, Barack Obama. After Charlie Kirk’s brutal assassination, Barry hung up his paddleboard to post this on X:We don’t yet...

European allies have vowed to shoot down any Russian aircraft violating their airspace after Nato members accused Moscow of repeated incursions into the alliance’s territory in recent weeks. “If another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission, deliberately or by mistake, and gets shot down and the wreckage falls on Nato territory, please don’t come here to whine about it,” Poland’s foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski, told an emergency meeting of the UN security council in New York on Monday that was called to discuss a Russian airspace incursion over Estonia. His warning was echoed by Poland’s prime minister, Donald...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the “radical left” is “hijacking” the Democratic Party, pointing particularly to bathroom gender policies in schools. “We’re losing mainstream Democrats because of the radical left,” Adams told PIX11 News Monday morning. “It has really hijacked not only the narrative, but hijacked our party.” Sitting next to First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro, Adams doubled down on his call last week to change the city’s school bathroom gender policy, insinuating it was a key reason for this political split. “Little boys should not be sharing bathroom showers with little girls,” Adams said. “I don’t have...

Sinclair Broadcast Group on Monday evening announced they won’t broadcast Jimmy Kimmel Live! across its ABC affiliate stations after ABC caved. Earlier Monday, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel would be returning to the airwaves just six days after suspending him for lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University earlier this month. Jimmy Kimmel lied to millions of people and claimed Kirk was assassinated by a MAGA conservative. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as...

Plans for a second runway at Gatwick have been approved by the government, making it the latest in a string of planned UK airport expansions to receive support. The Gatwick decision could lead to an extra 100,000 flights per year. If Heathrow gets permission to build a third runway - which the government has said it backs - that could mean another 276,000 flights a year, with approval for an expansion of Luton airport also potentially adding tens of thousands. If such large expansions are to take place while meeting the target of becoming net zero by 2050, big reductions...

The Café Grumpy owner apologized and said employee's actions violated company policyA New Jersey man says he was denied service and insulted by a barista at a New York City coffee shop after walking in wearing a MAGA hat on the morning of Sept. 11. Anthony Pullis, 31, stopped at New York City coffee chain Café Grumpy in the Financial District on his way to the 9/11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero.

An Orange County, California, high school student said he was suspended after his “Make America Great Again” hat was stolen, sparking a political argument with another student. Laguna Beach High School student Zach Hornstein told Fox News Digital that he and several friends wore MAGA hats on Sept. 11 to honor Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA co-founder who was shot and killed during a speaking event at a Utah college campus the day before. His death really affected us,” Hornstein said. “I may not agree with everything he says, but I appreciate that he encourages students to think critically,...

Fears are mounting that an ancient Biblical event where countless Christians disappear from Earth is just hours away. Believers on social media platforms like TikTok have reached the point of hysteria over this prophecy, expressing their excitement for the end of days and even offering tips on how to handle being lifted into the sky to meet their maker. The phenomenon, dubbed RaptureTok, has exploded in recent weeks after faith leaders started pushing the idea that the Rapture will begin on September 23, marking the Second Coming of Jesus and Judgment Day for non-believers. Although the Bible never set a...

I used to wince when publicists sent me faith-based films or TV to preview. Almost always, the genre’s reputation—cheaply made, cheesy, preachy—proved well deserved. But in recent years, the genre’s quality has vastly improved. I’m increasingly delighted to praise quality offerings—not because they’re not awful but because they’re genuinely praiseworthy. Jon Erwin (I Can Only Imagine) has been part of an emerging renaissance of faith-based film and TV. It’s a welcome trend that also includes his brother Andrew, Jon Gunn (Jesus Revolution), and Dallas Jenkins (The Chosen). Still, when I heard that Erwin’s new Wonder Project studio was kicking off...

The high court will also hear arguments about overturning a 90-year-old precedent that allowed Congress to create independent agencies.The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for President Donald Trump to fire the sole remaining Democrat on the Federal Trade Commission, the latest victory in his aggressive push to exert greater control over the federal bureaucracy. The justices overturned a lower-court injunction that reinstated Rebecca Slaughter to her position with the agency that oversees antitrust and consumer protection issues while litigation over her removal works its way through the courts. The ruling — while provisional — is significant because the...

Texas Republicans redrew the lines for House races in 2026. For one Houston district, that means two elections in the next few months using two different maps, with a generational fight to come.First came the Republican gerrymander in Texas. Now comes the Democratic chaos in Houston. When Republican lawmakers, at the behest of President Trump, successfully redrew the congressional map of Texas this summer, the explicit aim was to grab as many as five U.S. House seats from the Democrats to try to preserve the Republican majority in the 2026 midterm elections. But well before then, the repercussions are being...

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul thinks backing an antisemitic mayoral candidate will help get her re-elected. Others in the party are wondering and wavering.Was it a sign of growing confidence that his victory in November was inevitable, or merely just another indication of the strength of his hatred for the State of Israel and the Jews? Perhaps it’s a bit of both. Either way, it’s clear that Zohran Mamdani feels no need to feint to the center or water down his fervent anti-Zionism.When the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City promised to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...

Keir Starmer's controversial decision to recognise a state of Palestine could lead to demands for the UK to pay more than £2 trillion in reparations to the country, legal experts have said. Sir Keir has said the UK will press ahead with the move, which is expected to be announced ahead of his visit to the UN this week, unless Israel meets certain conditions, including agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza and reviving the prospect of a two-state solution. It has been condemned by Tory leader Kemi Badenoch for 'rewarding terrorism', while the US Government says that it will have...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Monday it will consider expanding President Donald Trump’s power to shape independent agencies by overturning a nearly century-old decision limiting when presidents can fire board members. In a 6-3 decision, the high court also allowed the Republican president to carry out the firing of Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission, while the case plays out. It’s the latest high-profile firing the court has allowed in recent months, signaling the conservative majority could be poised to overturn or narrow a 1935 Supreme Court decision that found commissioners can only be...
