A handful of Democrats in Congress who served in the U.S. military and intelligence community are raising eyebrows with a new video encouraging current service members to refuse to follow "illegal orders" issued by the administration of President Donald Trump. "We want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community who take risks each day to keep Americans safe," the lawmakers say, taking turns in brief clips. "We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now." "This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence-community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore...

Of the many controversies currently raging in higher education, few arouse as much passion as the place of politics in universities. For years, the Right denounced the Left’s dominance over campus culture. After Donald Trump’s reelection, it was the Left’s turn to cry political interference. The North Carolina General Assembly has attempted to address this issue by mandating a policy of institutional neutrality in the University of North Carolina System, though even this policy is sometimes viewed with suspicion. Yet, amid this controversy, there has usually been agreement on one point: Overt campaigning on behalf of a candidate or party,...

A 67-year-old Michigan man named James Donald Vance Jr., who shares the exact initials “J.D. Vance” with the Vice President, was sentenced Monday to two years in federal prison for posting online death threats against President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and a member of the president’s family. The convicted man, from the Grand Rapids area, used the Bluesky handle “Diaperjdv” to post a series of violent threats in March and April. In the messages, Vance Jr. stated he did not care if Secret Service agents shot him or if he spent the rest of his life in prison,...

Today, I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. This bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations. The move authorizes heightened enforcement actions in the state. The governor's office said in a press release that the designation bars both groups and their affiliates from purchasing or acquiring land in Texas and paves the way for expanded investigations and legal action. Abbott said the groups "have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Shariah law and establish Islam's 'mastership of the world.'" He added that their efforts to "subvert our laws through violence,...

A former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who has been accused of being a covert Chinese agent, allegedly forged Hochul's signature on flattering letters inviting dignitaries from China's Henan province to meet with then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2018. Prosecutors showed court documents to jurors at Linda Sun's trial, revealing that she may have forged Hochul's signature on several letters — when she served as Cuomo's Lt. Gov. — inviting the Chinese delegation to meet with state officials and promote investment opportunities. Sun held several prominent roles under Cuomo before becoming Hochul's Deputy Chief of Staff. Letters, according...

If there’s any good that’s come from the government shutdown, it’s exposing all the fraud being committed to exploit the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. To be sure, there are millions of needy Americans who were hurting from being deprived of SNAP as they tried to support children and keep their families from going hungry. This is not about them. This is about the other people — the individuals who dip into this program unjustly at the expense of the taxpayer. Just the News reported that Department of Agriculture Deputy Secretary Steven Vaden has indicated his agency is engaging in data...

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) revealed Monday that Bill and Hillary Clinton are reportedly refusing to appear before the House Oversight Committee for their scheduled depositions regarding their association with Jeffrey Epstein. The Clintons were among several high-profile political figures, including former U.S. attorneys general and ex-FBI directors, subpoenaed in August 2025 as part of an expanded congressional investigation into the federal government’s handling of the Epstein case. Hillary Clinton’s deposition was originally set for October 9, 2025. Bill Clinton’s was scheduled for October 14. Both were delayed at the request of legal counsel. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer...

Seattle's Mayor-elect Katie Wilson declared that "access to affordable, healthy food is a basic right. We cannot allow giant grocery chains to stomp all over our communities and close stores that will leave behind food deserts. Together, we can build a Seattle where fresh food is for everyone, not just for those who can afford it. Food deserts are not natural, supermarkets create them when they abandon our communities. We need to require these food vendors to give 90 days advance notice for mass layoffs and fair severance pay for laid off workers." "If too many privately owned food vendors...

VIDEOYour humble correspondent has been working diligently over the past few weeks creating an Epstein Slop Generator that will auto translate meaningless Epstein Slop into plain English. In case you are unfamiliar with Epstein Slop, it is meaningless noise generated by the media to cover up the sad fact (for them) that there have been NO incriminating information about President Donald Trump found in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Since it is difficult to listen to the incomprehensible Epstein Slop for more than a few seconds without your eyes glazing over with utter boredom, the Epstein Slop Generator has been developed...

Alright guys, I need some help. What the heck is Schumer trying to say here when asked why he didn't care about Epstein while Biden was in office?

New York Post columnist Miranda Devine is calling on the FBI and Secret Service to finally produce the full truth about the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt against President Donald Trump — an attack she says federal authorities have mishandled from the beginning. In a column Monday, Devine wrote that Americans are still waiting for a coherent explanation of how 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to climb onto a rooftop overlooking Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally and fire eight rounds from an AR-15-style rifle, grazing Trump's ear and killing firefighter Corey Comperatore. "We are all owed a better explanation,"...

Stephen Miller just shared a shocking statistic. Forty percent of rent controlled housing in New York City occupied by migrants. That affordable housing could be held by American citizens who desperately need a hand up, but too bad. https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1990586187745276040? 40 sec How about helping Americans support their families? ...more

Epstein slop has now apparently reached the outermost limits of absurdity with Monday's New Yorker entirely incapable finding anything actually incriminating about President Donald Trump in the latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein documents. So what to do? What to do? Well, New Yorker editor Jessica Winter seems to have drawn the short stick to "earn" this assignment and completely embarrassed herself with a theory about "negative space" in "The Darkest Thread in the Epstein E-mails."The subtitle reflects the fact that Winter found absolutely no there there since the worst allegation tossed Trump's way is something called "negative space": Donald...

Demographics don’t lie. The governments of the world and their captured bureaucrats can manipulate inflation data, unemployment data, GDP data, and numerous other data based figures to make things appear better than they are. It’s called propaganda and manipulation to create a false narrative beneficial to their interests. But, demographic data can’t be massaged to provide a happy ending for the psychopaths in suits, running the show.They can ignore the data and pretend it doesn’t exist, but you can’t change the ages of the people inhabiting this planet.The data is dire for the Western world and Asia, particularly China, Taiwan,...

For the better part of this year, I have been noticing publicly on the Twitter, and on these pages, how the financial interests of the global/political establishment elite, and a host of affiliated Technocrats formerly outlined as the Sea Island group, seemingly have been working an operation to divide MAGA.That operation is to separate President Trump from his support base.President Trump has been navigating this dynamic, sometimes failing -not surprisingly given the scope of the issue- yet keeping his focus on the larger objective, the ‘ultimate solutions’ approach he is known for.ISRAEL – To wit, many people have criticized President...

It all begins and ends with Tina Peters. What they have done to Tina is reflective of what they will do to all Americans if we don’t listen to her and end the corruption she exposed in our election system. Without honest and transparent elections in the 2026 Midterms and 2028 Presidential, America as we knew it will be done. Tina Peters exposed the Color Revolution’s most crucial tool of stolen elections, solely intended to destroy America from within. Unfortunately, the best America could do to reward her was to send her to a likely death sentence of 9 years...

"Danny argues that the truth about the Ukraine–Russia war can no longer be concealed: Ukraine is heading toward a strategic and battlefield defeat, a reality now acknowledged even by strongly pro-Ukraine voices like journalist Julian Röpcke. According to the commentary: Western and Ukrainian leaders have long misrepresented battlefield conditions, offering “PR” optimism while ignoring deteriorating realities. Russia prioritized destroying Ukraine’s armed forces over capturing territory, but is now accelerating territorial gains as Ukrainian capacity collapses. Ukrainian reports and government messaging continue to “sugarcoat” the situation, preventing honest assessment and prolonging unnecessary losses. Russia maintains overwhelming advantages in drones, glide bombs,...

They’re preparing for a Mamdani administration lox, stock and barrel. Jewish New Yorkers are arming themselves before an anti-Israel “mayor who despises us” takes the helm of New York City, several told The Post this week. They want to “have a say in our protection and not have to rely on others,” one said. The morning after mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory, firearms instructors and gun shop owners were flooded with urgent pleas. “It’s getting busy because of him,” said longtime gun safety instructor Lance Dashefsky. … “I always ask people in class why they want a gun,” said Dashefsky. “And...

A woman broke down in tears during a Thursday school board meeting in Royal Oak, Michigan, where multiple left-wing speakers demanded that a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter be shut down. Officials at Royal Oak High School approved the chapter on Oct. 21, according to Fox News, prompting protests from left-wing students and groups, including a walkout. During the meeting, the woman claimed that the conservative-leaning student group would promote “radicalization” of students. “I’m a lifelong Royal Oak resident, a supporter of the Royal Oak community, as well as an advocate for young people. I too came to speak about...
