To see the F-14 Tomcat for myself, I ventured out to the Air and Space Museum near Dulles International Airport in the Washington, DC, metro area. The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Manassas, Virginia, has every airplane and spacecraft that you can imagine. I was fortunate to interview an F-14 pilot who actually flew the Tomcat that is on display at the Air and Space Museum in Virginia.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) announced on Sunday that he is going to introduce legislation to hold soft-on-crime judges accountable if they release a violent criminal back to the street and the criminal commits more crimes. The proposed legislation would “hold judges accountable when violent repeat offenders they release commit new crimes,” he said. This comes after 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. murdered 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska last month by stabbing her multiple times in the Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail station. Surveillance video from the incident shows Brown, unprovoked, stabbing Zarutska from the seat behind her on the light rail,...

VIDEOWhat is missing in most reports about President Trump possibly sending National Guard Troops into Chicago is what residents in that city think about this. Here are a few observations from Chicagoans themselves on this situation.

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio urged voters to elect Zohran Mamdani to be the City's next mayor, saying "he is the best person to resume the work that I did to try to make NYC the great place it can be. He has the right ideas. The rent freezes, free child care, free city buses, and city-owned grocery stores are the bold moves needed to recover from the dismal years under the incompetent governance of Mayor Eric Adams." "Mamdani's proposal to seize the means of production evokes the brilliance of how Lenin dispossessed the old ruling class...

“Worst” can mean many things: a jet that killed too many of its own pilots, missed its moment technologically, or never matched the mission it was bought to fly. Context matters—some of these aircraft taught valuable lessons or worked better in one air force than another. But taken on the whole—design intent vs. delivered performance, safety, combat effectiveness, and sustainment—these five stand out for the wrong reasons.

On Sunday's CNN State of the Union, Tom Homan gave an absolute master class in dealing with the liberal media on the issue of ICE operations. Host Jake Tapper might have thought he'd put Homan, President Trump's border czar, on the defensive by opening the interview by citing a meme Trump posted, based on the movie Apocalypse Now, in which Trump said, "Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of War." Tapper cast that as Trump "escalating his threats against the city of Chicago." It took Homan about five seconds to demolish Tapper's fear-mongering claim. "We're...

A Tunisian Muslim immigrant living in France went on a stabbing spree after learning he was being evicted from his hotel for not paying. The 35-year-old migrant was living in the port city of Marseille, but on Tuesday he found himself without housing, prompting a violent rampage that ended only when police shot him after he injured five people via stabbing, according to JFeed. The man possessed two large knives and an iron bar. It was initially reported that he attacked the hotel manager and his son before running onto the street and injuring three more people, while yelling “Allahu...

As the national debate intensifies over the solvency of Social Security, Truth in Accounting (TIA) is urging policymakers and the public to look deeper: beyond “trust fund” projections and into the silent erosion of benefits through inflation. TIA board member Chuck Chokel has compiled a sobering analysis of the dollar’s decline over three overlapping 50-year periods. His findings illustrate that even if Social Security checks keep coming, their purchasing power has steadily—and dramatically—shrunk: 1925–1975: $100 in 1925 had the purchasing power of $33.21 in 1975, representing a 67% decrease in purchasing power. 1950–2000: $100 in 1950 was worth just $13.92...

Chicago federal facilities were seen being boarded up and fenced off in preparation for unrest and chaos in the streets by leftist activists and illegal aliens when the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) begin immigration raids this weekend. The Trump Administration has been planning federal law enforcement operations and potential National Guard deployment in the Windy City after at least 14 were killed and nearly 100 injured in shootings over the last two weekends. It was revealed last week that 200 or more Homeland Security Officials would be deployed in the sanctuary city of Chicago...

President Trump on Friday expressed support for mandatory vaccines for school-aged children, amid Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.’s push to end unnecessary vaccination. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, where Democrats sought to grill him about his personnel and vaccine guidance shake-up at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Per the Hill, “the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for those under 18. Kennedy, meanwhile, has fired all 17 sitting members of CDC’s vaccine advisory panel and also moved to oust...

Tether, the biggest stablecoin company, has held talks about investing in gold mining, seeking to deploy its vast crypto profits into bullion. The company has held discussions with mining and investment groups about investing in the entire gold supply chain, from mining and refining to trading and royalty companies, according to four people familiar with the recent talks. While gold has been a physical store of value for thousands of years and bitcoin has only existed as a digital instrument since 2009, there is a growing affinity between some industry executives. Tether chief executive Paolo Ardoino has likened gold to...

In an unhinged statement, former Congressman Joe Kennedy III attacked his cousin and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, claiming he has chosen to “dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion.” “Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American,” the statement read. Joe Kennedy further called for RFK’s resignation from the agency. The comments come one day after RFK’s explosive Senate Finance Committee hearing, where he held his own against the relentless Democrats on the committee. Full statement below: [Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and...

Director of the National Institutes of Health Jay Bhattacharya yesterday claimed that the First Amendment is a “dead letter”. Speaking at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington DC, the former Stanford professor warned that America’s constitutional protections for free expression dissolved during the Covid pandemic and remain unenforceable even today. “The First Amendment still doesn’t apply in practice,” he said. “Free speech rights exist right now only because the administration has chosen to allow them, not because the First Amendment is protecting us.” Bhattacharya, best known for co-authoring the 2020 Great Barrington Declaration, said his own experience during the pandemic...
