Nick Fuentes, part of the twisted “WOKE REICH”, just got exposed as the MONSTER he truly is. A woman shows up at his Illinois home… and this coward SPRAYS her with mace, then SHOVES her down the stairs like a ragdoll. She crashes hard onto the concrete, crawling in pain while he stands over her like some deranged predator. This is the same Fuentes who is telling everyone to ”VOTE DEMOCRAT” to stick it to Trump and Republicans, and physically assaults women for daring to confront him. Battery charges? Mysteriously dismissed. But the video doesn’t lie. This is not a...

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, one of President Donald Trump’s most influential but least public-facing advisers, launched an X account Tuesday to share updates from inside the administration.

We are relentlessly focusing on advancing President Trump’s agenda and delivering on promises to the American people," her first post read. "I welcome different viewpoints. Follow along for insights and information." Her newly formed account has amassed nearly 300,000 followers since its launch this week. Wiles is seen very often with the president, sitting...

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But...

On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough said: “Let us hope, post-Trump, there’s more of a Marco Rubio reset.”Is that the sound of Joe volunteering for Marco ’28? This would be a little weird, since ten years ago, he was slamming Rubio as the emptiest suit in the room, and he was yelling at Nicolle Wallace for being too pro-Rubio. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Immutability vs. Ecumenism: Pope meets Anglican bishop… at what cost?In the wake of the Pope’s April 27 meeting with an Anglican archbishop, Catholics are once again confronted with a pressing question: can the Church’s timeless doctrine coexist with modern ecumenism? Drawing on Scripture, the First Vatican Council, and the warnings of St. Pius X and Pius XII, this article examines whether today’s ecumenical movement represents legitimate development, or a rupture with the Faith itself.In his 1995 article, the late Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais described the core conflict between Rome and the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) as follows:...

A Christian school banned from athletic competition in Vermont because its girls' basketball team refused to play another with a male has settled its lawsuit with one defendant while broader litigation continues against others. The Vermont Principals' Association, which oversees all state-sponsored extracurriculars in the Green Mountain State, agreed to pay $566,000 in damages and attorney's fees to resolve Mid Vermont Christian School's claims, the latter's lawyers at the Alliance Defending Freedom said Wednesday. The notice of dismissal against VPA Executive Director Jay Nichols in his official and individual capacities says it only covers him but doesn't provide settlement terms,...

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday further weakened the Voting Rights Act, ruling that a congressional map in Louisiana was a racial gerrymander even though it was drawn to comply with the landmark law aimed at protecting minority voters. The justices, split 6-3 with the court's conservatives in the majority, told states they can almost never consider race when drawing maps to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which was enacted to protect minority voters who long faced discrimination in elections. Conservative Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, said that while there may be extreme...

Massive, global scam center takedown led by @FBI with our great federal and international partners results in 276 arrests and at least 9 scam center takedowns. These centers were used for cryptocurrency and investment fraud schemes against American citizens and involved losses of millions. This involved unprecedented cooperation between FBI and interagency partners, Dubai Police, and Chinese Ministry of Public Security. Brilliant work from @FBISanDieg

A few years back, left-wing media began popularizing the phrase “stochastic terrorism,” so they could blame mainstream conservative rhetoric for random violent acts. When a white supremacist goes on a shooting spree, legacy media demand that every Republican official in the country take ownership and denounce the act as if their rhetoric led to the violence. Yet, when a left-winger such as Cole Allen allegedly tries to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, leaving a manifesto that’s virtually indistinguishable from the rhetoric used by the average liberal podcaster or politician, the same people act as...

They’ve hit the mother lode. We may no longer need to rely on foreign batteries to power our electronics. Geologists have announced that the Appalachian Mountains could be hiding a sprawling multi-billion-dollar cache of lithium that could last the US hundreds of years. “This research shows that the Appalachians contain enough lithium to help meet the nation’s growing needs,” declared US Geological Survey Director Ned Mamula in a statement. According to a map by the institution, this East Coast mountain range houses around 2.5 metric tons of this battery precursor, most of which is concentrated in the Carolinas, Maine and...
