Former President Joe Biden made his first public remarks since leaving the White House, referring to Black children as “colored kids”—a comment that quickly sparked backlash online, including criticism from voices on the left. On Tuesday, Biden told an anecdote about his childhood migration from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Wilmington, Delaware, in which he remarked that until his family moved to “The First State,” he had “never seen hardly any Black people.” “I was only going in fourth grade,” Biden stated, as he recalled his mother driving him to Catholic school in Wilmington. “And I remember seeing kids going by, at...

After Donald Trump won the presidency again, Rebecca Carlson was counting on this being the year things turned around for her 1,300-acre farm in northern Michigan. The farm has been in her family for generations but has struggled over the past several years amid the rising cost of fuel, fertilizer and other operating expenses. Then, last year, bad weather wiped out much of her crop. But the return of Trump, she thought, would help reverse things. Her farm had been awarded a grant worth $400,000 through the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help pay for the costs associated with hiring...

This review will illuminate how the Department has...

The deportation of President Joe Biden’s migrant flood is the “Great Liberation of America,” President Donald Trump told a Joint Session of Congress on March 4. “We are achieving the Great Liberation of America — but there still is much work to be done,” Trump declared. Joe Biden didn’t just open our borders — he flew illegal aliens over the to overwhelm our schools, hospitals, and communities throughout the country. Entire towns like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio, buckled under the weight of the migrant occupation and corruption … beautiful towns destroyed. … Here tonight is a woman I have...

Former White House adviser Susan Rice said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Donald Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was a “setup.” Rice said, “Obviously it is a very sad day and an embarrassment for the United States on the world stage. But let’s step back and analyze what’s happened here I think there’s no question that this was a setup. You heard Donald Trump say at the end of that clip you played, this is great television. This was a setup. I mean, excuse me, Vladimir Zelensky was compelled to agree to a horrible deal...

Joe Biden allowed remote work dominate the civil service for so long, a cafeteria in the Department of the Interior remained shutdown years after the pandemic ended. Similarly, the department of housing and urban development resembles 'a taxpayer-funded Spirit Halloween' that looks almost like no one has been inside since Biden took office. The Interior was one of many departments that did not require employees to return under the Biden administration and a photo taken Thursday shows it as a complete ghost town, according to Fox News Digital. 'You have federal workers showing up to protest President Trump's plan to...

President Trump on Tuesday appeared to blame Ukraine’s leaders for the three-year war with Russia, arguing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “should have never started it.” Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, after massing troops on the border and demanding a ban on Ukraine ever joining the NATO alliance. The invasion took place nearly a decade after Russia took over Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Trump vowed to end the war during his presidential campaign and on Tuesday repeated his claim that the war would never have started if he had been president. He spoke after U.S....

The Trump administration has moved to push out a swathe of federal workers previously involved in combating election-related disinformation, according to three people familiar with the matter, amid allegations from congressional Republicans that their work unfairly targeted conservative speech online. Roughly half a dozen employees from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency who once worked in its Election Security and Resilience division were notified Thursday night they were being put on administrative leave, said the three people, who were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matters.

The US Postal Service (USPS) said it has stopped accepting parcels from mainland China and Hong Kong until further notice. Letters will not be affected by the suspension, said the company, which declined to offer a reason for the decision, external. However, on Tuesday new rules came into force which closed a loophole that allowed small packages worth $800 (£641) or less to be sent to the US without paying tax or fees. It was one of the measures announced by US President Donald Trump who imposed an additional 10% tariff on all goods imported to the US from China....

...This story will likely have your blood boiling. Two of Biden’s illegals are accused of murdering a 63-year-old man in his own home in the Chicago area.... ...But here’s the truly infuriating part—they never should have been on the streets in the first place. Not only were they here illegally, but they had been arrested just days before and were let go by officials. Instead of being behind bars or deported, they were free to commit an unspeakable crime. ...

As we’ve been reporting, President Donald Trump, new Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan have unleashed the forces of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, and agents have been busy rounding up illegal aliens—including many hardened criminals—and repatriating them to their home countries. Although the left is crying over the lawful treatment of our “friends and neighbors,” many of the folks they’ve nabbed are the last people you’d want living next door to you. Among those captured was a vicious ringleader of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, which has spread to at least...

A yearlong outbreak of tuberculosis in the Kansas City, Kansas area has taken local experts aback, even if it does not appear to be the largest outbreak of the disease in U.S. history as a state health official claimed last week.“We would expect to see a handful of cases every year,” said Dr. Dana Hawkinson, an infectious disease doctor at the University of Kansas Health System. But the high case counts in this outbreak were a “stark warning," he said.The outbreak has killed two people since it started in January 2024, Kansas state health department spokeswoman Jill Bronaugh said.
