    Another meeting between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly ended with a fiery shouting match—this time behind closed doors.Trump was pressuring his Ukrainian counterpart to accept Russia’s terms for a ceasefire during an explosive White House meeting on Friday, according to the Financial Times, reportedly telling Zelensky that Russia would “destroy” Ukraine if he didn’t agree.Multiple sources told the outlet that the meeting—where Zelensky was hoping, but ultimately failed, to secure long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles—quickly descended into a “shouting match” with “cursing all the time.”

    The president's one-man-show approach to policy has sidelined Congress, agencies — and a whole K Street culture.Intel Corp. looked like a winner in the Washington lobbying game at the start of 2025.The federal government was set to funnel more than $10 billion to the American microchip giant, thanks to a long influence campaign by the company’s executives and hired Washington hands, who spent three painstaking years lobbying Congress, federal agencies and White House advisers.Just a few months later, when a political controversy over the CEO’s links to Chinese companies put Intel’s deal with Washington in jeopardy, the whole drama was...

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) struggled to respond after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) trolled him on Saturday with a photo of a demonstrator in a giant penis costume at a “No Kings” protest. The demonstrator in question, apparently at a rally in Portland, Oregon, held a sign that read: “Deport Deez Nuts.” “Breaking: Gavin Newsom has shown up to the riot!” the DHS account added as a caption to the photo. “You’re an embarrassment,” was all the governor could manage in reply, after months of trying to imitate President Donald Trump’s troll game on social media, a decidedly...

    BALTIMORE — Claire Pollock kept quiet for years about the sexual trauma that she says forced her to abandon a promising career in classical music. “I couldn’t handle playing anymore,” says the former baritone horn player, who now works as a chef. “I would have panic attacks.” Last year, at age 24 — finally ready to share her story, but unsure how — Pollock stumbled upon the Facebook page for Katherine Needleman. A Baltimore Symphony Orchestra oboist, Needleman, 47, has gained 22,000 followers and millions of views for her scathing commentary about gender disparity in the orchestra world — and...

The organized events across the United States are a protest of President Trump, whom leftist activists believe is acting like a king. I attended the Washington, DC, event and captured some photos of what appears to be a strange new alliance between the boomers and the furries: (Picture on link, try not to laugh)

    Unlike in his first term, the second Trump administration has a significant head start on building and should have no problem finishing the project by 2029. But there is one technical difference: This time around, the project is called a “smart wall.” Although technology was utilized in the border barrier system during Trump’s first term, it plays an even larger role in safeguarding the country now. In fact, every one of the 1,954 miles of the border with Mexico will have a “smart wall,” allowing the White House to carry out what it first set out to accomplish nearly a...

    SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A San Antonio Church and residents of several northside neighborhoods were left to deal with damages left by “No Kings” related vandals in the aftermath of the protest in the Alamo City. The vandals targeted residential homes, traffic signs, highway overpasses, and one of the city’s largest churches. At the Community Bible Church (CBC), where weekly attendance is estimated at over 15,000 worshipers, vandals left messages spray-painted on the church grounds and building that read, “Jesus wants TRUMP gone!” and “No King but God”. CBC Pastor Ed Newton posted images of the vandalism and offered commentary...
