After decades of mass illegal immigration into the United States, untold millions of illegal aliens have settled throughout the country, competing with Americans for government benefits, jobs, and now, for homes. For most illegal aliens, obtaining a mortgage from a traditional bank — without a social security number or a credit score — is nearly impossible. But as millions of illegal aliens flooded the country, a new industry has cropped up to capitalize on the new customer base, selling financing catered to the illegal population. One entity at the forefront of this industry, a Daily Wire investigation has revealed, is...

In this video, we discuss Tiawana Brown, a Charlotte City Council member representing District 3. Elected in 2023, she made history as the first formerly incarcerated individual to serve on the council. Recently, however, she has been federally indicted again—this time on PPP fraud charges

Dr. Joe Sansone is a Florida psychotherapist that has been a one-man wrecking ball against the CV19 bioweapon vax. He has lawsuits in Florida and a bill pending in the Minnesota Legislature. Dr. Sansone is lining up other bills at state legislatures to get the mRNA vaccines and other mRNA products pulled off the market. Even though the CV19 vax has a huge track record of death and disability, the shots are still on the market. Why? Dr. Sansone says, “I think with politicians, it comes down to one of three things: cowards, corrupt or out of touch. The bottom...

Grants Pass, Oregon has been known as a beautiful, predominantly conservative small city in Southern Oregon. A place that has welcomed retirees escaping California’s ongoing meltdown, and really a place for people of all ages who appreciate the natural beauty of the region and proximity to the Rogue River, which runs through town. The charms of the area were on full display at this year’s Boatnik celebration, an annual Memorial Day weekend event organized by The Active Club, a local nonprofit organization that contributes to the youth of Southern Oregon. Sponsors include the City of Grants Pass, Josephine County, and...

Every year, postsecondary institutions of all kinds distribute hundreds of billions of dollars in student financial aid across the United States—not to mention the tens of billions in aid allocated by state governments and institutions of higher learning themselves. Such aid ranges from loans with well-below-market interest rates to flat-out grants (such as Pell Grants), the lion’s share of which are propped up by taxpayer dollars. Since the end of the Second World War, America has invested heavily in higher education, for good reason. But a recent spike in financial-aid fraud is syphoning taxpayer dollars away from their intended purpose:...

Japan is reportedly planning to import nearly $7 billion worth of U.S.-made semiconductors in a move that could significantly benefit chipmakers like Nvidia Corporation amid ongoing trade negotiations with the Donald Trump administration. What Happened: Japan has proposed purchasing up to 1 trillion yen ($6.94 billion) in U.S. semiconductor products, reported Reuters via Asahi newspaper, which cited unidentified sources. The Japanese government would subsidize domestic companies that purchase the American chips, the report said. The plan is designed to help reduce the U.S.'s approximately 10 trillion yen trade deficit with Japan. Japan's chief tariff negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, is expected to...

After the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, it was alleged that Angel Reese had been subjected to hate speech and racist slurs. The league hardly waited a minute to announce a closer look into the matter. “The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society,” the statement had declared. So the investigation took off with information gathering from the fans, team members, and staff who were present at the game. Being a game televised by ABC, there were microphones right by the bench and even more cameras than...

CNN anchor Jake Tapper argued the left’s reaction to him revealing his 15-year-old son wants to be a police officer is the exact reason they are losing elections. Tapper and his Original Sin co-author Alex Thompson joined Scott Galloway on The Prof G Pod on Thursday, and Tapper at one point recounted how a left-leaning podcaster made a racism jab about his son after Tapper revealed he wanted to go into law enforcement. “My son is now 15 years old, and he’s a gamer. He’s a football fan, starting linebacker on his varsity football team. The Democratic Party has no...

Senator Scott told Charlie Kirl on Tuesday that he will "absolutely" vote no on the bill. "there’s not a chance it would get to 51 votes," he said. WATCH: Kirk: What is your take on the current status of the big, beautiful bill that’s passed the House? Will you be voting for it, or will you be advocating for some changes? Scott: Look I think all the— Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, all of us. We want a bill to pass. We want a good bill. We want a bill that securites the border. We want President Trump's agenda....

From a Renaissance fresco, “Take Rome as your example if you wish to rule a thousand years; follow the common good, and not selfish ends; and give just counsel like these men.” America isn’t the first country to suffer secular effects from shunning its religious foundation. I was at first surprised to learn that a decline in Roman religious observance played a leading role in Rome’s corruption and fall. In 715 BC, the Roman senate appointed Numa to succeed Rome’s founder, Romulus. He turned to religion to tame a fierce people and bring about civilized society. Perhaps not until the...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) wrote a letter to the editors of The Wall Street Journal that was published on Tuesday in which he vowed that the U.S. Senate was ready to “grind” Vladimir Putin’s “war machine to a halt” if President Donald Trump is unable to broker a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine soon. Graham, one of the most hawkish GOP senators, wrote his letter in response to a scathing Journal editorial titled, “Time for a GOP Senate Revolt on Sanctions Against Putin.” In the editorial, the Journal’s board argues for the GOP to advance Graham’s bill that would “hit...

The 20-year-old who, six months later, would open fire at President Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally — striking his ear and killing an audience member — was busy polishing his applications to transfer from community college to a four-year engineering program. Crooks was gathering transcripts and asking friends to review his personal statement. He was also designing a bomb. Oh. Yeah, kind of an important fact to throw into the mix. Apparently, Crooks had placed an order for “more than two gallons of nitromethane from an online speciality fuel retailer using an encrypted email account.” “Twelve days later Crooks’...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was kicked off the House floor by the Sergeant of Arms on Tuesday afternoon. After surviving a lawfare impeachment trial two years ago, Paxton really angered the Texas RINOs after he announced a run for US Senate as Cornyn’s challenger. Tuesday is deadline day to take up Senate bills in the Texas House and instead of dealing with priorities, the Texas RINOs are using their time and resources to remove Ken Paxton. It is unclear what led to Paxton’s removal.

South Africa inherited a complex, functioning system in 1994 — but did the ANC use that opportunity wisely? In this deep dive, we compare post-independence leadership choices in Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew and Botswana under Seretse Khama with South Africa’s approach post-1994. While Botswana and Singapore prioritized meritocracy, mentorship, and long-term development, the ANC rushed transformation — purging thousands of experienced professionals in the name of political loyalty. This video explores the devastating consequences of cadre deployment, early retirements, and the erosion of institutional knowledge in government. From destroyed infrastructure to bloated, dysfunctional departments, we trace the long-term impact...

I'm not a rap fan but this really hits. Now things are getting interesting. I'd argue England is not lost, yet. Something is coming to a head with the working/middle class...as expressed in this video.

In a controversial appearance on “Alex Witt Reports,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) expressed her plans to serve as the Democratic side of the critical House Oversight Committee. She concluded her work rant by thanking God for supporting her amidst supposed death threats and other such nonsense. For context, Jasmine Crockett, a far-left representative, has become infamous for her controversial and often inappropriate behavior since taking office in 2023. In the past, she has threatened Senator Ted Cruz, been accused of assaulting a journalist, and generally embarrassed herself at every opportunity. Starting her May 25, 2025, remarks, she reacted to a...

Thank you for your patience. Apparently, public backlash from the Kash Patel and Dan Bongino interview with Maria Bartiromo has penetrated the membrane around them. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announces the FBI “reform teams” will likely be in place next week. From there, they will begin reviewing subjects of interest to the American people, including: (1) the J6 pipe bomber, (2) the White House cocaine user, and (3) the Dobbs leaker. ... The Director and I will have most of our incoming reform teams in place by next week. The hiring process can take a little bit of time,...
