Democrats focused on taking back the Senate in November are growing increasingly worried that a surging liberal candidate in Michigan’s contentious Democratic Senate primary could imperil their slim shot at being in the majority next year. Polls consistently find Abdul El-Sayed, a former local health official who lost a previous gubernatorial bid, at or near the top of the three-person August primary race. He has outflanked Rep. Haley Stevens and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow from the left, boosted by a populist agenda and endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and liberal lawmakers. His strength in primary polls has triggered backlash...

Four years ago, our Nation and Empire stood alone against an overwhelming enemy, with our backs to the wall. Tested as never before in our history, in God’s providence we survived that test; the spirit of the people, resolute, dedicated, burned like a bright flame, lit surely from those unseen fires which nothing can quench.Now once more a supreme test has to be faced. This time, the challenge is not to fight to survive but to fight to win the final victory for the good cause. Once again what is demanded from us all is something more than courage and...

Canada is calling on the United States and Mexico to renew the free trade agreement between the countries for another 16 years just as U.S. President Donald Trump revives talk of making Canada the 51st state. Dominic LeBlanc, Canada's minister for U.S. trade, sent a letter Tuesday to United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Mexico's Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard conveying Canada's recommendation. "The Agreement is highly beneficial to each of our countries and to the integrated North American economy," LeBlanc wrote. The letter comes ahead of the scheduled July review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, the...

Bill O’Reilly says that E. Jean Carroll must be criminally prosecuted It turns out she wasn’t paid a little bit to lie about Donald Trump and target him, she was paid a lot. $7 MILLION in funding for her lawsuits against Trump “The E. Jean Carroll fraud should be prosecuted. That is the most outrageous story — It's so outrageous that the woman testifies in a deposition under oath that nobody is helping her, no lawyer is helping her, no pro bono, and then we find out she got $7 million” The lawyer was connected to Jeffrey Epstein and is...

The horrific death of high school athlete Austin Metcalf on April 2, 2025, sent shockwaves through the Frisco, Texas, community when it happened. So it should come as little surprise that the ongoing trial has been emotionally charged. It's been so charged that even the alleged murderer, Karmelo Anthony, appears to have had a visible response to footage of that tragic night. According to the New York Post, Anthony "squirmed" and was "fidgeting" while some of the more disturbing footage from the incident was being shown. At other points of the trial, Anthony rubbed his eyes and "quivered." Things even...

Thomas Massie isn’t acting like a defeated man. After losing the most expensive primary race in American history last month, largely thanks to pro-Israel figures and groups spending millions to defeat him (according to the Federal Election Commission, Massie received donations from 1,119 individuals actually living in Kentucky, compared to only 98 for his opponent Ed Gallrein), Massie announced just days later, “I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race.” He explained, “This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office.”...

A few hours after Lionel Messi and the Argentine World Cup team checked into their training base in Kansas City, a series of thunderstorms pounded the area, knocking out power, felling trees and bringing flood and tornado warnings. Hardly ideal conditions for the world’s biggest soccer tournament. Yet that’s likely just the opening salvo of a disruptive weather system that could affect the 38-day competition, which kicks off next week with games in Mexico, Canada and the U.S. “It’s pretty safe to say climate change is going to have a mark on this World Cup,” said Kaitlyn Trudeau, a senior...

Just when you think you’ve seen the bottom of the internet, this happens on a NYC subway. A guy loses it completely, yelling and abusing a mannequin as riders jump up and run for their lives. What in the world is happening to America?

A Maryland Marine veteran was forced to remember his training as four hooded teenagers quickly regretted pulling a gun on him during an attempted robbery. Jheyco Borda, 35, was working on his truck Wednesday afternoon in Oxon Hill when the teens approached him at around 4.30. Surveillance footage captured the moment one teen reached into his pocket just moments later and pulled out a gun, pointing it directly at Borda. 'I saw six kids come by playing around… and out of my corner of my eye, they stepped in front of my car,' Borda told Telemundo44. 'I saw them put...

The political committee of Democratic Senator Chris Murphy — himself well versed in the "Resistance" talking points against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — is dedicated to resisting President Donald Trump and has funded a prominent left-wing nonprofit that has been at the center of highly organized, “mass mobilization” anti-ICE protests around the country. Murphy’s newly rebranded Political Action Committee, American Mobilization, donated $100,000 last year to Indivisible, a progressive movement and organization formed in the wake of Trump’s first election in 2016 and dedicated to resisting the Trump agenda, Federal Election Commission records for the PAC show. Indivisible says...

Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) brushed aside the negative aspects of his Party's prospective nominee for the US Senate seat in Maine, saying "yeah, he's had some troubling behaviors. First there was the Nazi tattoo on his chest. I mean, who does that? Then there is the revelation that he's been unfaithful in his marriage. This isn't so unusual. Congress has a special fund to pay off the women that are abused by its members. Finally, there is his boast that he would rape anyone who breaks into his house to demonstrate his dominance. These aren't the words that I would...

🚨 OMG. A MASSIVE India H-1B visa fraud ring has just been busted...nearly 90% PERCENT of India's visa applications contain FRAUDULENT INFORMATION 100,000 THOUSAND counterfeit certificates have been seized 🤯 "Law enforcement in India claim it has uncovered a network of universities that produce fake degrees which were possibly used to obtain these high skilled H1B visas, including one school which allegedly stole over 36,000 fake degrees. It cost as little as $1,400 for one of those." "And while these are supposed to be high skilled employees during almost all of Biden's time in office, 83% got junior or entry...

Poll after poll shows the 24-year incumbent struggling to stay above the critical 50% line. Here’s the truth about Tuesday, and it’s simpler than the establishment wants you to think. Lindsey Graham doesn’t have to be beaten outright on June 9. He just has to be held under 50%. In South Carolina, if no candidate clears a majority, this goes to a runoff — one-on-one, no crowded field for Graham to hide behind. And poll after poll this year has shown the same thing: after 24 years in Washington, Graham keeps hovering right around that 50% line. Some have him...

The list of 90’s era Contemporary Christian Music stars rushing to cheer on and celebrate the new “gay anthem” version of Avalon’s ‘Testify to Love’ is growing, including Point of Grace (ed. note - Mr. Passons was their keyboardist in the 2000's) and Nicole Nordeman, with more supporters being added each day. 2026’s Testify to Love was rerecorded earlier this month by two former members of the multi-platinum Contemporary Christian group Avalon, hitting the top of the iTunes Christian charts. Founding member Michael Passons, who left the group in 2003 and came out publicly as gay in 2020, joined forces...

One of TV’s longest-running children's shows is facing backlash for once again linking its puppets to homosexuality on social media. Sesame Street shared a post on social media Tuesday, which read: “Happy Pride Month from Sesame Street! Join us in celebrating and uplifting the [gay and lesbian] members of our community.” The post also included an image featuring different rainbow-colored furs resembling puppet characters from Sesame Street, such as Elmo, Cookie Monster and others. Primarily geared toward toddlers, the series, (which moved in 2015 from PBS to HBO, and in 2025) was acquired by Netflix — drew the ire of...

WASHINGTON (AP) — After Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cut nine Navy officers, including all the women, from a promotion list, several female officers say they see the unusual intervention as a sign that their careers now have a ceiling and worry for the future generation of female military leaders.The Navy had selected 31 sailors to promote from the rank of captain to one-star admiral, but Hegseth recently intervened to strike nine people from the list, including three women and two Black men, according to a defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss information not permitted to be...

Until recently, American politics operated on a simple premise: Aspiring politicians must suck up to party bosses, run for local office, earn supporters, master policy details and only then earn a shot at higher office. That model has collapsed. Today’s rising stars take a different escalator — television, social media, podcasts, activism, entertainment or the internet — that goes straight to the top. Their chief currency is not institutional support but the attention economy. Which helps explain why Los Angeles now finds itself facing the possibility that Spencer Pratt could make a mayoral runoff. Pratt, if you’ve been living under...

Vice President JD Vance has spoken out against “the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants” in the United Kingdom after the brutal death of student Henry Nowak, the second U.S. intervention on “civilisational decline” in Britain in 24 hours. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer attempted to kick back against the President Donald Trump Administration and American concern for the country’s descent into chaos on Friday night, characterising comments from Washington as political interference and even an attempt to “stir up division on our streets”. U.S. Vice President JD Vance made one of the present Trump Administration’s...
