Democrats hate our country’s Constitution, history, laws, freedoms, prosperity, and success. Because of this hatred, they are planning and working toward America’s destruction. However, because of this extreme position, many traditional supporters are starting to defect, creating the need for Democrats to form alliances with new groups that share their hatred of and desire to destroy America. One of these alliances is with Muslims. This alliance can be seen in the growing number of Muslims Democrats are running for political office. Some Democrats, such as AOC, Flanagan, Gillibrand, and Hochul, have gone beyond forming an alliance; they have submitted to...

The Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a bid by a Democratic-appointed member of the National Labor Relations Board to challenge the legality of her firing by President Donald Trump. The justices turned away former NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling that said the Republican president’s January 2025 firing of her was a valid exercise of executive authority. The court’s action follows its June decision backing Trump’s firing of Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic Federal Trade Commission member. That ruling overturned the court’s 1935 precedent in a case called Humphrey’s Executor that had recognized the authority...

Christiane Amanpour, CNN’s chief international anchor and a fixture of the 24/7 news network for more than four decades, plans to leave the company next June. “After more than 43 years at CNN, Christiane has decided that the time is right to begin a new chapter,” Mark Thompson, CNN’s chief executive, said in a letter to newsroom employees that was obtained by NBC News. Thompson said Amanpour, 68, plans to “scale back” her eponymous CNN International show to once a week early in 2027. “The program will conclude in May,” Thompson added, “and she will leave CNN at the end...

Washington’s beautiful Reflecting Pool, which was badly damaged by Vandals despite the ridiculous writings of some Radical Left person in the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office who got it wrong and obviously didn’t investigate, witness, or see the attached tape, or the very inspiring Jesse Watters show which explained it all, or didn’t inspect the vast area of cut and slashed pool surface, or the grass that was scarred by poison with the numbers “86 47” massively inscribed in font 90 feet tall and encompassing the width of the entire Park (which grass has been fully replaced with new grass), is...

The Supreme Court has agreed to weigh in on the constitutionality of an 1868 federal law that imposes a tax on distilled spirits but also bans home distilleries – that is, the at-home production of spirits like bourbon and whiskey. The penalties for violating the law include fines of up to $10,000, five years in prison, or both. In a list of orders from the justices’ Oct. 16 conference, the court announced that it had granted review in Department of Justice v. McNutt. The justices will likely hear oral argument in the case early next year, with a decision to...

Jordan Walker Ross launched 'Faithful Texans for Talarico' as Ken Paxton countered with 'Pastors for Paxton' coalition 'The Chosen' actor Jordan Walker Ross endorsed Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico on Thursday, helping launch a faith-based voter coalition ahead of November's election while drawing criticism from a Republican state lawmaker over taxpayer-funded Hollywood subsidies. Ross, who portrays the apostle Little James in the popular faith-based television series, announced his endorsement in a campaign video promoting "Faithful Texans for Talarico," an initiative intended to attract religious voters.

When Rexnord moved its Indianapolis ball-bearing plant to Mexico, John Feltner lost a $25-an-hour union job, the second factory job he had lost in a decade. Around Christmas of 2017, a hospital offered him maintenance work at $18 an hour. When a former boss offered him a union job at a cornstarch plant paying 20% more, John refused. “I don’t see it crumbling underneath me like Rexnord,” he told The Indianapolis Star. John had already been burned twice, and a hospital, he figured, wasn’t going anywhere. Three decades of deindustrialization had taught him and millions like him to take the...

The Treasury Department identified approximately $270 million potentially linked to fraudulent activity involving federal student aid programs. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has referred the findings to federal investigators for further review, Fox News reported. In July, FinCEN issued alerts to financial institutions warning about possible fraud schemes involving federal student aid refunds. Schools and payment contractors regularly issue student aid refunds electronically. Criminals may move stolen aid through money mules, shell companies and fraudulent bank accounts, the alert explained. Many of the schemes involve fraudulent enrollments — called "ghost student" schemes — in which criminals use stolen personal...

California funneled nearly $369 million in federal aid intended for victims of its deadliest wildfire year to low-income housing developers — without requiring them to house a single wildfire survivor, a California Post investigation found. The staggering sum was awarded to developers while thousands of Californians struggled to rebuild their lives after the devastating 2018 fires, which killed 103 people and damaged or destroyed more than 24,000 structures. Among them is motivational speaker and comedian, Mickey Schechter, 62, who lost his Cornell home and $60,000 in plumbing tools when the Woolsey Fire tore through the Santa Monica Mountains, destroying 37...

If you thought the political games around the midterms couldn’t get any more disturbing, buckle up, we’ve got a doozy for you. There’s a new bombshell report from DataRepublican, the researcher who made big waves during the DOGE investigations. And if what she’s uncovering turns out to be true, we’re looking at something a helluva lot scarier than the usual political dirty tricks from our communist enemies on the left. DataRepublican says she’s got her hands on thousands of transcripts and hundreds of recordings that point to an elaborate, coordinated effort to provoke a constitutional crisis right after the 2026...

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour is leaving the cable network after more than four decades as one of its most recognizable faces, she said Monday. The announcement, which sent shockwaves through the chattering classes, came weeks after Paramount Skydance finalized its purchase of CNN’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, sparking anxiety in the newsroom. Amanpour, known for interviewing heads of state and reporting from conflict zones, made no mention of the drama in a departure note, in which she said she’d stick around until next June. “After many months of thought and a few sleepless nights, I have decided to separate from...

While several Democrats have declared that Republican predictions that voting for Democrats will lead to Medicare benefits being given to illegal aliens are a lie, Sen. Bernie Sanders' "Medicare for All" legislation would do exactly that. Sanders asserted that "medical care is a human right that must be provided to all humans regardless of their citizenship. Republican efforts to restrict these benefits to only US citizens is a crime against humanity." Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) still insisted that "Republicans are lying. Right now there is nothing in the existing law that authorizes giving these benefits to undocumented immigrants. The implication...

A “secret pay-for-play” text promising paid access to President Donald Trump is at the center of the latest civil war plaguing the White House, according to a new report from Axios. The Monday report cited a text message received by Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon on May 3, 2025. In the text, the sender claimed that Mildon would be part of “VIP events” and that he would “get close with the administration, even with POTUS,” once he sent money that would be transferred to the Kennedy Center. Mildon claimed the texts were sent by Ric Grenell, a special presidential envoy who...

A sightseer slipped and fell to her death off a 65-foot waterfall in Indonesia while being filmed by horrified friends. Windy Rahma Putri, 25, was bathing in waters above Robo Waterfall in Harau, a protected nature preserve in West Sumatra, on Thursday afternoon when she was swept away by swift currents and plunged dozens of feet down the steep drop, officials said. Putri’s friends were filming her as she was lying on her back on a rock when she lost her grip — showing her desperately trying in vain to grab onto a friend as she slipped and fell off...

The DSA (Democratic Socialists of America), having lost their court battle to force the U.S. to withdraw support from Israel, have now created an entirely new battleground: JFK Airport. They are trying to pressure workers on the tarmac and at the airport to stop loading any goods to Israel. This would include passenger luggage, as well as any cargo such as computer or technical equipment, weapons being shipped by the U.S. government that have been bought by Israel, etc. These are the same people who put Zohran Mamdani and others in office; are seeking to make Abdul El-Sayed a senator,...

A recent report from CNN on the voter sentiment among Jewish Democrats in New York painted a stark picture for Democrats in the Empire State. It noted that in 2018 a generic poll of just New York Jews found they favored Democrats by an unsurprising 40 points. Nevertheless, the same type of survey conducted in 2026 found Jews in New York favoring Democrats by 13 points representing a 27-point fall of support for Democrats. Currently, a group of New York State Rabbis is traveling the state to essentially campaign against Democrats. In Michigan Jews for Republican Mike Rogers groups, something...

You know those weird brown corndog-lookin’ things growing in ditches, ponds, and marshes all over America? The ones you’ve probably driven past a million times without giving them a second thought? Those are called cattails, and apparently, we’ve been ignoring one of nature’s most interesting food sources while spending billions of dollars growing, harvesting, and processing the foods we actually eat. Yes, I went down another rabbit hole, and found something that blew my mind… ready for this one: An acre of cattails has the potential to produce around 6,400 pounds of flour. By comparison, an acre of American wheat...
