President Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday evening to demand action from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. Trump's post comes after attorney Erik Siebert allegedly resigned from his position as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia on Friday. However, the reason Siebert vacated his role depends on who is asked. "He didn’t quit, I fired him!" Trump said on Truth Social, per ABC News. The outlet cited sources who claimed Trump had pressured Siebert to bring charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James. On Saturday, Trump wrote a direct message to Bondi on his Truth Social...

"I’ve never talked to a Democrat who ever wanted to listen. They start to glitch out if you try.” — Sasha Stone. This past summer, I tried to open a line of communication with a West Coast relative. We exchanged a few letters. I tactically steered the conversation away from the political. Here was the closer salvo from my relative: Jimmy, on a completely personal level, and in different times, I think we could have been very good friends. At this point in our history, I find what you say in your blogs and Kunstlercast to be outrageous, deceptive, and...

Since the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, legacy media have gone above and beyond to tank what little credibility they had with the broader American public. And that statement could not be more applicable to The Economist. Late last week, the U.K.-based outlet ran a story attempting to run cover for the spate of leftist-led violence wreaking havoc across the United States. To accomplish this feat, the piece highlighted several “studies and datasets … largely compiled by researchers whom s[k]eptical conservatives would probably dismiss as biased” to “suggest that the killing of Mr Kirk is not representative of broader trends.”...

On the first weekend of September, I saw Charlie Kirk speak at the Build Up Korea conference in Seoul. It was his first trip to Asia and sadly destined to be his last; five days later, he was assassinated at Utah Valley University. The conference is an annual gathering of young Korean conservatives, with whom Kirk had become quite popular. Even after having taught university here for seven years, I still did not feel like I had a good handle on the current political scene. The issues that are divisive can appear puzzling and petty to the outsider unfamiliar with...

Open carry of handguns as of September 10, 2025 The number of states that ban the open carry of firearms has again been reduced to five. Before 2022, it was four, but New Jersey criminalized open carry, even with a permit, in 2022. New Jersey permit requirements and processes for obtaining a permit are being challenged in the courts. Connecticut banned open carry in 2023, making six states that generally banned open carry. Open carry with a permit is allowed in some rural parts of California. The California ban is being challenged in the Ninth Circuit.On September 10, 2025, Florida’s...

A coordinated offensive unfolded with precision September 2 against five scientists questioning the popular media’s most sacred bogeyman -- the hypothesis that human-induced emissions of carbon dioxide threaten to overheat the planet. The scientists attacked had written a report published in July by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), "A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate." Delivering virtually identical narratives, proclaiming that 85 "climate experts" had discredited the DoE report, were CBS, NPR, ABC, CNN, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Reuters and others. Language in the news reporting was nearly indistinguishable, and...

President Donald Trump formally signed an executive order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, directing federal agencies to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle the group’s operations. The move follows the September 10 assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and comes as other world leaders signal similar actions against Antifa.

LONDON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Several charities said on Monday they had cut their links with Sarah Ferguson, Britain's Duchess of York, after media reports that she had described the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as a "supreme friend" in an email.

The ship “Euro” is steaming full speed toward the iceberg that has long been visible. Looking at the emaciated EU economy, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen calls for a push to restore competitiveness. What never crosses her mind is that it is precisely the ecosocialist agenda of her own administration that now threatens the very economic survival of the Union. Every narrative needs its hero. In the fairy tale of a prosperous and expanding European Union, Mario Draghi -- once president of the European Central Bank and later unelected, technocratic prime minister of Italy -- was mythologized by the...

A [b]lack screenwriter is blaming an "old white lady" for getting him kicked off a train ... he says he was racially profiled, but cops in New York say he refused to take his feet off a seat. Alex O'Keefe, who writes for the FX hit "The Bear," posted video of himself being confronted by MTA police officers while on a train from NYC to Connecticut ... and he says a "Karen" complained and told him "to correct how I was sitting."

Vladimir Putin is preparing to hit wealthy Russians with higher taxes to fund his war in Ukraine. The Russian president announced this week that the Kremlin was considering “reasonable” measures on the rich, such as increasing levies on dividends or raising tax rates on luxury goods. He said: “In the United States during the Vietnam War and the Korean War, that’s exactly what they did. They raised taxes specifically on people with high incomes.” It comes as Putin struggles to bankroll his war in Ukraine, with the most recent figures showing that the country’s national wealth fund stood at $36.4bn...

An adored mom was mowed down and dragged to her death by a serial traffic offender in a horrifying late-night hit-and-run that has left a Florida seaside town reeling. Kjersten Aileen-Hermance Strang, 38, was riding her e-bike along 49th Street South, in Gulfport, around 10pm on Saturday when Xavier Omar Rigby, 22 slammed into her, hurling her onto the windshield of his Nissan Altima. Rigby was barreling along the road at a 'high rate of speed' when he slammed into the rear of Strang's bike.

For years, the Left has been carping about changing the name of "Columbus Day", a federal holiday on the second Monday in October. Well, here's a great opportunity for us. Charlie Kirk's birthday is October 14. Let's designate Monday, Oct. 13 as "Charlie Kirk Day", "Revival Day", "Turning Point Day" or something similar. I don't think Columbus would mind sharing his day with a great American hero. What do you think? Should we change the name of "Columbus Day" to "Charlie Kirk Day"? No, leave it the way it is. Yes, officially. (That might take an act of Congress.) Yes,...

British workers would see their wages rise under Reform's plan to end firms' decades-long reliance on cheap foreign labour, Nigel Farage vowed yesterday. Under his 'very bold' plan to restrict legal migration, the party leader said if he becomes Prime Minister foreign nationals will no longer be able to come over for low-paid jobs leaving locals 'priced out'. He also outlined proposals to cut benefits for all migrants with settled status. In order to claim benefits they would need to have British citizenship. Mr Farage said a Reform government would force UK firms in sectors reliant on overseas staff to...
