President Donald Trump may soon designate Antifa a foreign terrorist organization, upgrading it from a domestic terrorist organization, which would provide a vast array of additional resources, funding and enforcement mechanisms. "A whole panoply of tools, a whole toolbox opens up with the FTO (foreign terrorist organization) designation for terrorist organizations — tools that sit under [Treasury Secretary] Scott Bessent's control at Treasury and under Marco [Rubio], dual-hatted as the Secretary of State," Dr. Sebastian Gorka told Just The News.

Donald Trump began his promised mass purge of federal workers Friday, as more than 4,100 people were laid off as the government shutdown rolls on. The president previewed the pink slips in a press conference in the Oval Office earlier Friday, blaming them and the shutdown on the Democrats. 'It'll be a lot and it'll be Democrat-oriented because we figure they started this thing. It'll be a lot of people, all because of the Democrats,' Trump said. It's the biggest set of firings in government since Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) purge early in Trump's second term. The...

Trump’s bold Gaza peace plan achieves a historic first step—cease-fire, hostage release, and Arab-Israeli cooperation few thought possible.Yesterday, at noon Egypt time, Israel and Hamas agreed to implement the first stage of President Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan by implementing an immediate cease-fire, a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the release by Hamas of 48 Israeli hostages, 20 of whom are believed to be alive. Israel also agreed to release almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including about 250 who were serving life sentences, primarily for terrorism-related charges. As I explained in my October 3 American Greatness article, Trump’s peace plan...

Immigration-focused narratives, especially those related to H-1B visas and portraying Indians as “job stealers” dominated online discourse on X, amplifying xenophobia and fueling calls for deportation and denaturalization, according to a new report. The report, Anti-Indian Racism on X: Causes, Trends, and Narratives, released by The Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH) today documents a surge in anti-Indian racism on the American microblogging platform between July and September 2025.

CEDAR CITY, Utah (KUTV) — A new emergency action plan by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation has temporarily paused the issuance and renewal of commercial driver's licenses across the country. States must now audit their licensing systems, which have left many legal non-citizens unsure if they can keep working. “I got to keep driving down these roads of a country that doesn't really want me here,” said Jorge Rivera, a truck driver from Enoch. Rivera is one of roughly 580,000 people across the country under DACA, a federal program that allows immigrants brought to the United States as children to...

WASHINGTON — The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is among the offices being permanently downsized as a result of the ongoing partial government shutdown, The Post has learned. The RIFs (reductions in force), which started Friday, will fire many of CISA’s 2,540 employees as well as thousands more within the federal bureaucracy — after President Trump repeatedly threatened to target offices cherished by Democrats if the party’s senators refused to reopen the government. In an indication of the possible scale of the RIF, CISA had planned to keep just 889 employees on duty during a shutdown while furloughing 65%...

In this article, we will explore the top 5 most important amendments to the U.S. Constitution. 1.

President Trump on Friday said the ongoing layoffs of furloughed federal workers amid the government shutdown will be “Democrat-oriented.” “And it will be Democrat-oriented, because we figure, you know, they started this thing,” he said in the Oval Office about the firings and shutdown. “It’ll be a lot.” The administration offered no specifics on which agencies or how many people would be affected when it announced the layoffs earlier Friday. But at least 4,100 government employees were already laid off. Here is The Hill’s list of agencies affected so far. The Senate voted against the House GOP bill to open...

Across the country, a new confederacy is rising—built not on states’ rights, but on resistance to federal immigration law. As cities like Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago openly defy federal immigration laws, Victor Davis Hanson argues we’re seeing the rise of a “neo-Confederate secessionist ideology” where local officials act as if they’re above the law on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Sometimes it's sponsored or encouraged by the Democratic Party: Gavin Newsom in California, our governor, or Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, openly calling for resistance, or Gov. Pritzker of Chicago.

AG James has repeatedly preached that 'no one' is above the lawNew York Attorney General Letitia James faced an avalanche of criticism on social media Thursday following news she was indicted for mortgage fraud as many conservatives brought up past tweets of her taunting then presidential candidate Donald Trump for being indicted."Roses are red. Violets are blue. No one is above the law. Even when you think the rules don’t apply to you. Happy Valentine’s Day!"

Everything you need to know about Dan Rather can be found in this animation of the ‘Killian Memo’, purportedly from the Vietnam War, compared with a Microsoft Word document, that ended his career. Dan Rather reverted to playing George Clooney’s idea of a fictional crusading liberal journalist and eventually the media, which by then had fewer standards than a zombie in a funeral parlor, embraced him as the prototype of a serious journalist, by which they meant, speaking out against Republicans. Now Dan’s not so happy about the CBS sale/merger and Bari Weiss taking on an editorial role at CBS...
