I was under the illusion that with Donald Trump back in charge and the wind at his back Washington Republicans might actually take off the gloves and say eff-it and take on the swamp. With the failures inherent in the Big Beautiful Bill, it appears I was wrong. I don’t blame Trump. This abysmal betrayal of the American people was written in the halls of Congress… The Republicans in Congress talk a good game, but when it comes to actually doing what they say they’re going to do, it turns out they’re really snake oil salesmen. Not that this is...

It is a fantasy that just will not die. Another Kremlin security scare, another flash of speculation online, another round of breathless commentary. Maybe someone is finally trying to kill Vladimir Putin. Maybe that is what it will take to end the war. One clean shot. One collapsing regime. Peace at last. But if that idea is serious – if we are not just indulging a lurid Western daydream – then we need to ask a much harder question.

My friend, the late Anna Rumaderun, was a young Indonesian woman totally dedicated to friendship with The West based on the bonds of history forged in World War Two. Like me she had huge respect for General Douglas MacArthur. She trusted traditional medicine and died from breast cancer. She was terrified of modern medicine because two of her friends died post mastectomy. She leaves behind a husband with movie star good looks and a six year old little boy named after me. Rest In Peace, Anna. We miss you deeply. We know you ARE WITH GOD.

A 23-year-old Texas man was arrested early Tuesday morning for trespassing after he scaled the wall at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, a federally protected property. Anthony Reyes told police he jumped over the wall so he could “marry” President Trump’s 18-year-old granddaughter, Kai Trump. President Trump, who was in DC at the time of the breach, has been briefed on the incident. This is the second time Anthony Reyes has been caught trespassing on the Mar-a-Lago property.

Back in 1969, very close to the Year Zero of the modern "feminist" movement, an activist named Carol Hanisch penned an essay titled, "The Personal is Political," whose neo-communist, collectivist slogan was later weaponized by the former Lady Macbeth of Little Rock, now Dowager Empress of Chappaqua, Hillary Clinton. Although unfocused, unreadable, poorly argued, and couched (of course) in the language of "therapy," it served as the opening salvo of the anti-family, anti-"patriarchy" Left against postwar American society. Hanisch writes:The paper, “The Personal Is Political,” was originally published in Notes from the Second Year: Women’s Liberation in 1970 and was...

Hamit Coskun’s Koran-burning conviction is a shameful affront to liberal, Enlightenment values. It’s a verdict that would make the Ayatollah smile. Today, in nominally liberal Britain, a man has been found guilty of a crime after he dared to burn a Koran in public. Hamit Coskun, a Turkish-born asylum seeker, has been convicted of a ‘religiously aggravated public-order offence’ over his – quite literally – incendiary protest outside of the Turkish consulate in London in February, against what he sees as the Islamist turn of Erdogan’s Turkey. If nothing else, Coskun’s stunt has exposed the Islamist-apologist turn of our own...

Federal authorities say the man arrested for a suspected terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday was prepared to conduct mass murder using homemade explosive devices and a self-fashioned “ flamethrower.” In addition, the FBI says that the suspect, Mohamed Soliman, an Egyptian national in the U.S. illegally, admitted that he intended to “kill” as many “Zionists” as possible at a demonstration to free Israeli hostages that he intentionally targeted. As reported by Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany during Monday’s edition of “Outnumbered,” Soliman was found to have had 14 Molotov cocktails on his person along with the flamethrower that he...

Many articles are being written and much typeset is being exhausted by people talking about the recent revelations that the FBI has a designated information silo called “prohibited access” within its record keeping system. Allow me to jump this readership well into the future and give you a cliff notes summary of the logical conclusion(s).The FBI needs a filing system for information designated “Prohibited Access” because the FBI handles extremely sensitive covert operations, including spies both foreign and domestic, within its agency. The storage of extremely sensitive national security information is not the issue.Prior to 2007, in the olden days,...

Nate Silver’s latest blog post notes that conservatives are up 31 points among those with self-described excellent mental health, and down 26 among those with poor mental health. Democrats have turned themselves into the party of the neurotic, the unstable, and the miserable. If you’re happy and well-adjusted, vote Republican.

Nope, not satire. Just your tax dollars at work. The federal Bureau of Prisons must continue providing hormone therapy and social accommodations to hundreds of transgender inmates following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that led to a disruption in medical treatment, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said a federal law prohibits prison officials from arbitrarily depriving inmates of medications and other lifestyle accommodations that its own medical staff has deemed to be appropriate. Ready for the twist? He was a Reagan appointee, in fact! The woke rot goes deep, friends.

Former Trump strategist and War Room host Steve Bannon is calling for the arrest of Sen. Lindsay Graham over his trip to Ukraine and pushing for the war to continue. Bannon stated that at the very least, the South Carolina career politician should have his passport revoked and be barred from returning to the United States during an interview with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Monday. “He’s giving Ukrainians false hope,” Bannon said. “Two things ought to happen; either cancel his passport and don’t let him back in the country, or put him in jail if he comes back. Lindsay...

SECRET SERVICE SCOOP: ROWE FINALLY OUT AT SECRET SERVICE -- WILL IT MARK AN END TO DEI PRIORITIES? Former Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe said he planned to resign and retire in February but has remained on the payroll as a "senior adviser" for more than four months into the Trump administration, collecting paid leave. Rowe's last day was Friday, according to a knowledgeable Secret Service source, and many agents are hoping his departure will sweep out the DEI policies and lowering of standards that led to two assassination attempts against now-President Trump. After years of DEI hiring priorities,...

Former Acting US Secret Service Director Ron Rowe has finally resigned from the agency. Earlier this year President Trump announced Sean Curran, one of the agents who surrounded him following the Butler assassination attempt, as the new Secret Service Director. Ron Rowe who served as the acting Secret Service Director after Kim Cheatle resigned last summer remained on payroll as a “senior advisor” for several months. Rowe is a typical Washington bureaucrat who led the bureau before the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life during the 2024 Campaign. Director Rowe also was caught in a blatant lie after President Trump...

A Florida hairstylist was stabbed to death with a steak knife by a 280-pound assailant during a violent attack inside the parking garage of a luxury apartment complex. Hailey Hosford, 27, had just stepped out of a rental car at the Retreat at Sawgrass Village in Sunrise on Wednesday when a man reportedly charged the vehicle, ripped open the door, and fatally stabbed her - also injuring her male friend in the process, as reported by The New York Post. The suspect, 21-year-old Jackson Julian Sagesse, was subsequently arrested and booked into Broward County Jail on charges of murder and...

Infamous “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) recently issued a reaction to the attack on individuals calling for the release of Israeli hostages still in Hamas captivity during a demonstration held in Boulder, Colorado, this past weekend. She stated in a post on social media that she was “horrified” by the attack. “My heart is with the victims and our Jewish communities across the country,” the post said. “Antisemitism is on the rise here at home, and we have a moral responsibility to confront and stop it everywhere it exists.” One person who wasn’t impressed by the reaction was former Major...

The shift of young male voters to Trump in the November 2024 elections was enough to give him and other Republicans a solid victory. Rep. Jason Crow (D-Co) is heading up an effort to recruit candidates for the 2026 mid-term elections. He said "there are very real questions about the path forward. People who used to be Democrats now vote for Trump. We seem to have pushed these people away from our Party. Maybe LGBTQ, transgender support, and open borders aren't the right issues for the voters we aren't getting." "We're considering investing $20 million to develop a 'Speaking with...

President Donald Trump took a swipe at one of the Republican detractors of his "big, beautiful bill" that is now before the Senate, saying Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has "little understanding" of the budget bill that will fund Trump's domestic policy agenda.Paul's chief criticism of the megabill is the hike to the debt ceiling. He has said he would likely support the bill if not for that, even in light of the "wimpy and anemic" cuts that House Republicans sent to the Senate."In all likelihood, I can vote for what the agreement is on the rest of the bill, and...

VIDEOThe Liberal Pink Hat Lady. The COMEDY gift that keeps on giving. After being gone for a couple of weeks for my Portugal vacation I decided to check in to see what's up with her. The good news is that the Liberal Pink Hat Lady seems to be, at least temporarily, over her TDS obsession with President Trump. The WEIRD news is that her TDS now seems to have been supplanted by the Liberal Pink Hat Lady devoting her heart and soul to someone. Spoiler Alert: It's NOT Jesus.While watching this please keep in mind that what you are seeing...
