@realTJRoberts Thomas Massie has been a hero, a mentor, and a supporter to me since I was very young. He’s been a champion for the America First cause, and a thorn in the side of big government for as long as I can remember. For that reason, he has my complete support. Thomas Massie's commitment to the Constitution and the principles of liberty is unmatched. His proven track record in Congress speaks volumes, and has yielded him the top scores from organizations like Turning Point, Gun Owners of America, and the New American Freedom Index. He consistently fights against government...

Sir Keir Starmer's rattled allies today issued a desperate warning to rebel Labour MPs that a leadership coup by Angela Rayner will trigger a general election. The under-fire Prime Minister is battling to stay in Downing Street as he reels from the Lord Mandelson scandal, with a number of backbenchers openly questioning his future. In a bid to contain the crisis, Sir Keir has promised to release documents related to Lord Mandelson's appointment as US ambassador in February last year. But the Government was forced into ceding control of the release of material to Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC),...

“I approached this bastard and in my hands I had my old Remington Model 11 autoloader crammed with 00 buckshot. Frank Pachmayr had put an extension on the magazine which ran right out to the muzzle and this gave me a reserve of fire which sometimes proved quite advantageous.

On the eve of their trial, three men charged in the murder of Kevin Nishita have accepted plea deals in the case and will spend decades in prison.

MILAN (AP) — American athletes received an enthusiastic welcome at the opening ceremony for the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, but the mood shifted when cameras briefly turned to Vice President JD Vance. Led by speedskater and flag bearer Erin Jackson, Team USA was among the last delegations to enter Milan’s San Siro stadium in the parade of nations on Friday. The crowd cheered for the Americans but jeers and whistles could be heard as Vance and his wife, second lady Usha Vance, were shown on the stadium screens, waving American flags from the tribune. Support for the U.S. among its...

SBA suspends more than 111,000 borrowers in the state Earlier this week, the White House announced plans for a new anti-fraud task force targeting welfare abuse in California and other states, and assigned Vice President J.D. Vance, Andrew Ferguson of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and Attorney General Pam Bondi. California Attorney General Rob Bonta fell all over himself Thursday claiming that the California Department of Justice was working to tackle fraud in the state. He even “pushed back” against the Trump Administration’s characterization that California programs are overrun by fraud and that state government is somehow facilitating this fraud....

There is a reason some modern political slogans feel impossible to challenge without sounding cruel, un-Christian, or “extreme.” It’s not because they are true. It’s because they are designed to stop you from thinking. That insight comes from James Lindsay, who recently explained a sloganeering concept most Evangelicals have never heard of but encounter every day: tifa. The word comes from Chinese Communist political strategy and refers to short, emotionally loaded slogans engineered to hijack moral instincts and shut down critical thought.

It's probably best to begin by letting everyone know that this column isn't about politics. Whenever I write anything about the National Football League, my comments section is stormed by an army of conservative keyboard warriors who, in their Colin Kaepernick-filled rage, are all too eager to unload on Roger Goodell and the organization over which he presides. Trust me, dear readers, I have plenty of bad things to say about Roger Goodell, but they're mostly about the game of football. My lament comes from a place of deep, lifelong fandom and is triggered by the fact that I don't...

World War I not only toppled empires and redrew borders—it remade the modern world, with few nations feeling the effects as profoundly as Great Britain. The country’s deadliest war—from which 6 percent of its men never returned—accelerated sweeping social, economic and political changes that fractured the rigid British class system and weakened the aristocracy. For centuries, hereditary landowners exercised a near feudal dominance of the British countryside. As late as 1873, fewer than 5 percent of Britons owned all of England’s property. But an agricultural depression in the late 1800s had already begun to erode their dominance as the First...

A man charged in an investigation into an alleged biolab operation in Las Vegas has also been accused of illegally keeping firearms in his home, according to multiple reports citing a federal complaint. Ori Solomon, 55, the property manager of the location where the alleged laboratory was discovered, faces state charges for allegedly disposing and discharging hazardous waste, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) said in a press conference on Monday. According to a criminal complaint reviewed by Newsweek, he is also accused of illegally keeping firearms, including a Glock handgun, after a federal search warrant was issued for...

These individuals are driven by strong emotions and a toxic sense of self-righteousness, which has led some to believe they can attack police with impunity—something Renee Good and Alex Pretti learned the hard way—or hurl racist slurs at non-white people. These officers are professionals; they won’t leave the city or be provoked. Instead, you’ll be recognized for revealing the fundamental flaws within white Democrats, a group that has historically been rotten. Minneapolis has been on fire since Good and Pretti were shot and killed by law enforcement for stupidly trying to impede their operations. They weren’t executed. But the deportations...

All sin is an opening to Satan which should be repented and confessed. But there are some actions which are huge openings to Evil and eventually yield disastrous spiritual results. Here are six: 1. Worshipping pagan "gods" and gurus. Some people are binding themselves to pagan "gods" (who are actually demons) and give themselves to their gurus. Thus, in their lives they replace the true God with demons. 2. Practicing witchcraft and/or the occult for years. We have more and more people who come to us after years of being in the occult, casting spells and curses, and frequent divination...

“Subversion works by importing an inverted moral frame and getting the target population to install it as its own conscience.” — Yuri Bezmenov’s Ghost on X Even in the deep-frozen fastness of midwinter, events and tensions surge, and America awaits . . . Bad Bunny! You perceive that there is some message in the genderfluid Puerto Rican songster’s upcoming Superbowl halftime gig, but what is the message? A 180-degree counterpoint to the earnest bashing and mashing of giants on the field? The official annunciation of Reconquista? A thumb in the eye of President Donald Trump and the white supremacist horse...

U.S. autonomous drone delivery and logistics startup Zipline said Wednesday it will set up operations in Houston and Phoenix early this year, as part of an expansion that will be propelled by $600 million in fresh investment. The round, which values the company at $7.6 billion, will be used to expand to at least four U.S. states in 2026, the company said. Several existing and new investors, including Fidelity Management & Research Company, Baillie Gifford, Valor Equity Partners, and Tiger Global participated in the funding round. Founded in 2014, Zipline developed its own drone delivery ecosystem, including the logistics software,...

Construction on part of the High-Speed Rail project came to a halt on Wednesday as crews battled a fire at the Church Avenue overpass in southeast Fresno. "There's a lot of plywood and lumber that's involved in this," Josh Sellers with Fresno Fire said. Workers, all unharmed, watched as firefighters attacked from above. "We have the railroad tracks here that we ended up having to close down and stop the trains because we have a ladder truck in place that's blocking the tracks," Sellers said.

ANTHONY — Two of the safest cities in New Mexico are located in southern Doña Ana County, according to a recent survey published by home security company SafeWise. Analyzing federally reported property and violent crime data, the company rated Anthony the state’s safest city, with neighboring Sunland Park ranking fourth. The two cities also shared the top five in last year’s ranking, and Sunland Park has been rated No. 1 in the past. Anthony sits almost equidistant between Las Cruces and El Paso, Texas, and borders a Texas town also named Anthony as well as several unincorporated communities in a...

Site argues that numerous websites listed as owned by Jeffrey Epstein in the DOJ documents are still active, and are still being used. Site presents photographic evidence of a bearded man wearing sunglasses that does indeed look like Jeffery Epstein.

Korean War hero Royce Williams is being awarded the Medal of Honor, and his actions are something not even Hollywood could have dreamed up. Congressman Darrell Issa announced on Wednesday that President Donald Trump officially informed Williams of his MoH. The Medal of Honor is the nation's highest military award. It is only awarded for actions so heroic that oftentimes, the person earning it is killed. Williams is still with us in 2026, and his once-secret actions are now out in the public. Buckle up for one of the most insane war stories you'll ever hear.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is using his Muslim faith to justify his views on immigration enforcement and wants America to follow suit.Mamdani held a press conference on Friday to speak about ICE and immigration policy in the United States. As TGP readers know, Madani has vowed not to cooperate with the Trump Administration on getting rid of criminal illegal aliens in the Big Apple.At one point in the press conference, Mamdani cited Islam to push an open borders agenda. He claimed Islam was built on a narrative of migration and noted that Muhammad was once a stranger too.Then,...
