Well, that escalated quickly. According to Tim Walz, Minnesota is at war with the federal government. He is calling out the Minnesota National Guard to protect Minnesotans against "rogue federal agents." Uh, wut? Even before the video came out that almost certainly showed that the woman who was unfortunately killed had surged her car and actually struck the federal agent who shot her, Minnesota's politicians ramped up the rhetoric, calling it murder and demanding that the federal government remove its law enforcement agents from the state. From everything I can see, Walz and Frey have been egging on the confrontations...

President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for a staggering 50% increase to the previously proposed military budget to bring the total up to $1.5 trillion. In the Wednesday afternoon Truth Social post, Trump claimed the budget increase was “for the good of our country,” citing “very troubled and dangerous times”: After long and difficult negotiations with Senators, Congressmen, Secretaries, and other Political Representatives, I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion Dollars. This...

Venture aloud that the new mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, might just have a touch of the communist about him, and you will run immediately into a wall of indignant pedantry. “He’s not a communist,” his apologists will insist. He’s a “communitarian.” Other preferred substitutions include “collectivist,” “Fabian,” “democratic socialist,” and, in the less intellectually inclined depths of the well, “just, like, someone who cares about other people.” Whatever. A commie by any other name still smells as foul. Besides, far more important than whether Mamdani wishes to be more closely associated with the Judean People’s Front or...

Political strategists say Democrats running in competitive races in this year’s midterm elections for the House and Senate should steer clear of making President Trump the centerpiece of their campaigns. While Trump’s approval ratings are low and Americans have been frustrated by his job performance in the first year of his second term, the strategists say the key to winning is to home in on economic issues — particularly affordability. “The fight to win 2026 will be on the economy and affordability. It’s not going to be on the Epstein files,” said Susan Del Percio, a veteran Republican strategist who...

President Trump’s decisive action against the illegitimate Maduro regime in Venezuela has focused world attention on the Western Hemisphere. This is all to the good, as the Trump administration has made clear the priority Washington attaches to its own neighborhood. The recent National Security Strategy emphasized that after three decades of counterproductive wars in the Middle East and South Asia, this administration would prioritize defense of the American homeland and our own hemisphere. It further established the “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine, holding that “extra-hemispheric powers” (think China, Russia, and Iran) would not be permitted to meddle in the...

YES ‼️ Lincoln Maine School FIRES liberal teacher who used his classroom to support Charlie Kirk being assassinated “Mr. Brewer is dismissed from employment with RSU 67 effective immediately” One day after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, Mattanawcook Academy's social studies teacher, Derek Brewer, told one of his freshman social studies classes that, number one, he didn't care that Charlie Kirk had died, and number two, he found it ironic that Charlie Kirk was shot, referencing a video clip he had seen in which Charlie Kirk stated that a few people had to be shot in order to protect Second Amendment...

Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem said the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who shot and killed a Minneapolis woman was hit by her car in the episode. “The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him,” Noem said. “He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released, but he’s going to spend some time with his family.” She said there would be no pause in the Trump administration’s immigration actions in the city. Earlier in the day, outgoing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) railed against the Trump administration after an Immigration and...

As the clock ticks on California’s billionaires facing a proposed wealth tax, some of America’s top business leaders are making strategic moves to leave the Golden State. Google co-founder Larry Page appears to be distancing himself from California, as public filings reviewed by Fox News Digital from the California Secretary of State’s office show several business entities linked to Page were moved out of the state in December, ahead of the Jan. 1, 2026, residency date tied to the proposed tax. Those filings indicate his family office, Koop LLC, and his influenza research fund, Flu Lab LLC, no longer list...

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, founded in 1786, will shut down on May 3, its owners announced Wednesday. Block Communications Inc. has hemorrhaged over $350 million in cash while owning the newspaper over the past two decades, the outlet reported. The firm asserted that it could not sustain such significant cash losses. *** “Recent court decisions would require the Post-Gazette to operate under a 2014 labor contract that imposes on the Post-Gazette outdated and inflexible operational practices unsuited for today’s local journalism,” Block Communications said in a press release, according to CBS Pittsburgh. *** Prior to Block Communications’ closure announcement, Supreme Court...

Larry Page, the Google co-founder and world’s second-richest person, has reportedly left California amid concerns about a wealth tax on billionaires. Mr Page has moved the registrations of several entities, including his family office and flying car business from California to Delaware, according to filings with the states. He has also personally moved out of the state ahead of a potential vote on a 5pc wealth tax, according to Business Insider, which first reported the move.

...and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE....

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - Another Texas A&M professor is facing scrutiny from university administration over course curriculum, being instructed to remove readings from his syllabus. Professor Martin Peterson confirmed to KBTX’s Rusty Surette that he was instructed by the philosophy department to remove readings in his “Contemporary Moral Issues” course related to race and gender - including readings by the Greek philosopher Plato - or be reassigned. “I speak for myself, not the university, when I say in my opinion, Texas A&M is not on the right track. Censorship is not a viable path to academic excellence,” said Peterson.

A simple software setup has become another checkpoint in Microsoft’s expanding web of identity and control.Microsoft’s removal of phone activation for Windows and Office is another signal that the company is locking users into a fully connected, account-bound environment where privacy and ownership steadily fade.In the past, activating Windows could be done privately without linking the computer to any online profile. Users could install the system, call an automated number, and receive a confirmation code. No internet, no account, no tracking.That layer of independence is gone. Today, activation demands a Microsoft account and an active connection to the company’s servers.The...

Minnesota governor Tim Walz (D.) suggested the federal prosecutor behind the Somali fraud convictions in the state should be fired, accusing him of “defamation” for providing an estimate of the total amount defrauded from Medicaid programs. “You saw a U.S. attorney stand up, which … would have been let go by any other administration, speculating about things with no factual information,” Walz said Tuesday. “That’s defamation … and that’s coming from the attorney. We are under assault like no other time in our state’s history because of a petty, vile administration that doesn’t care about the well-being of Minnesotans.” Walz...
