On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” DNC Chair Ken Martin stated that the Democratic Party’s job right now is to win elections, and if “we are truly in a dictatorship and an authoritarian regime here has completely shredded the Constitution, then party doesn’t matter, and then elections don’t matter and then the resistance looks completely different” “and we may be nearing” that moment, but for now, their job is winning elections. Martin said, “[L]et me say to you, what is the role of the Democratic Party in this moment? Our job is to win, to win elections. That is...

The Empowerment Scholarship Account, Arizona's school choice program, is projected to have over 100,000 students during fiscal year 2026, according to a new report. The Empowerment Scholarship Account, Arizona's school choice program, is projected to have over 100,000 students during fiscal year 2026, according to a new report. The Common Sense Institute released a report earlier in October showing the estimated number of students who will use ESA. Under the program, the money that would pay for a student's education in a neighborhood school follows the student to another school chosen by the parents. That includes home schooling, according to...

“From the hood” shouldn’t be a license to threaten people. This is emotional performance art wrapped in street talk. They’re not representing the struggle. They’re cosplaying for clicks. ================================================================= BRIEFING ...There’s a strange new trend in politics. Young Black female politicians are branding themselves as “hood queens” and leaning into violent, ghetto-style rhetoric. Let’s get into it. It’s one thing to grow up in a tough neighborhood and speak from lived experience. Like it or not, that’s what “gangsta rappers” do, and they make millions while they’re at it. But what we’re seeing now are these privileged Black career women...

Alaska’s new social studies standards don’t mention the Nome Gold Rush. They don’t mention the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. They don’t mention William Egan, the state of Alaska’s first governor, and they don’t mention Sarah Palin, who ran for Vice President of the United States. There’s a lot more that’s missing in the Alaska social studies standards, but you can tell right away that something is wrong when Alaska’s social studies standards leave Alaska’s children ignorant of the headlines of Alaska’s history and the most famous Alaskans. Education departments in every state are on radical autopilot when they make social studies...

U.S. Coast Guard personnel opened fire Thursday night on a U-Haul truck after its driver ignored commands to stop at the entrance of a California base, the agency said. Dramatic video shows the box truck with its headlights on reversing toward security personnel stationed around a vehicle outside Coast Guard Base Alameda at around 10 p.m. Moments later, flashes of gunfire erupted as officers shouted orders from a barricade. The U-Haul driver then hit the gas and accelerated forward. The Coast Guard said security personnel standing watch on Coast Guard Island had witnessed the U-Haul truck "driving erratically and attempting...

Real-time data shows the water temperatures underneath Tropical Storm Melissa are 600 times more likely due to climate change. The analysis is operated by Climate Central, a nonprofit organization that focuses on the science and communication behind climate change. The organization compares current sea surface temperatures to average, then overlays the current and forecast track of tropical systems. Melissa is currently a tropical storm southeast of Jamaica and southwest of Haiti. The storm will move over very warm water, around 86 degrees Fahrenheit, and that warm water will be a key piece of the storm's rapid intensification. Melissa is predicted...

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) has spent millions of dollars in 2025 supporting an array of anti-Israel groups, several of which have ties to terrorism abroad and extremist activists in the United States, a Washington Free Beacon review of the organization’s grantees shows. The RBF in April of this year awarded a $135,000 grant to 7amleh, the "Arab Center for Social Media Advancement," under the umbrella of "Peacebuilding." The organization describes itself as an advocate "for Palestinian digital rights," creating a "safe, fair and free digital space for Palestinians." Its leadership, rather than a list of notable peace activists, consists...

You can’t control happy people. So they keep you tired, anxious, and hungry. Fake meat, fake joy, fake freedom. ========================================================== Bill Gates didn’t build a better burger. He built a better leash. BRIEFING Jett here. Turns out Bill Gates’ fake beef doesn’t just taste like cardboard and misery, it’s actually making you depressed. Let’s get into it. A new study out of the U.K. just found that plant-based “meat” products, like the kind Gates has been pumping billions into, are linked to higher rates of depression. And no, not just some mild sadness. We’re talking serious neurological fallout from the...

Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) on Wednesday instructed DHS to conduct an immediate security review of all visas granted by the Biden administration following last week’s indictment of an alleged Hamas terrorist living in Louisiana on a fraudulent visa, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. Mahmoud Amin Ya’Qub al-Muhtadi, a 33-year-old Gazan man, is being held in a Louisiana jail after federal prosecutors charged him last week with participating in Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terror spree before moving to America with a fraudulent visa. Cotton disclosed in his letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem that there could potentially...

As speculation mounts that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will soon announce her retirement, one California lawmaker is wasting no time entering the succession race. California State Senator Scott Wiener announced his candidacy Wednesday, hours after Politico reported that Pelosi may announce her retirement soon after California votes on a controversial redistricting proposal. Wiener, who’s considered one of the most outspoken leftist members of the California State Legislature, did not name Pelosi in his campaign launch video. “My family escaped fascism in Europe. I never thought the United States would slip into fascism like we’re seeing today,” Wiener said. “San Francisco...

President Trump makes a statement from his Truth Social account that all trade negotiations with Canada are immediately terminated following the Canadian government purchasing ads to lie to the American people about tariffs. PRESIDENT TRUMP – “The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs. The ad was for $75,000,000. They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts. TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior,...

The New Hampshire Senate race was shaken up on Wednesday when former Senator John Sununu jumped into the Republican primary. Sununu was a senator for the Granite State from 2003 until 2009 and served in the House of Representatives prior to that. He is the brother of former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. In 2008, he was defeated by Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, who is now retiring, leaving the seat open and highly competitive. “It’s been awhile since you elected me to serve New Hampshire, and boy have things changed. Washington’s never been perfect. It’s not meant to be,” the former...

(From 10/2023) - WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Justice Department today issued a joint statement that reminds financial institutions that all credit applicants are protected from discrimination on the basis of their national origin, race, and other characteristics covered by the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, regardless of their immigration status. The CFPB and Justice Department are issuing this statement because consumers have reported being rejected for credit cards as well as for auto, student, personal, and equipment loans because of their immigration status, even when they have strong credit histories and ties to the United...

Donald Trump has threatened to cut Israel adrift if they annex the West Bank in an extraordinary escalation as the President demands peace in the Middle East. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu oppose annexation – but right-wing factions in Jerusalem see an invasion of the territory as a means to blocking Palestinian statehood. 'Israel would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened,' Trump told Time Magazine for a cover story released Thursday following the President's historic peace deal in Gaza. 'It won't happen because I gave my word to the Arab countries.' JD...

Going back 250 years, the enemies of America thought long and hard about how to destroy the fledgling experiment of a democratic republic that our Founding Fathers had envisioned. It was and continues to be clear to them that America’s strength is a function of three phenomena: - A fervent belief in the God Who makes miracles happen, for just one example the crushing defeat of the thunderously powerful English Empire’s armies by blazing patriots like General George Washington and his ragtag army of American heroes. - An equally ardent belief in and passion for the concept of freedom. Men...

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Could copper theft slow Los Angeles's move towards a zero-emissions future? Thieves are targeting electric vehicle charging stations for copper wire -- cutting cords and even breaking into chargers using hacksaws. It's a costly fix to repair the vandalized stations.
