The Department of Justice (DOJ) has terminated an employee after learning she was married to a radical leftist who founded an anti-ICE app that puts our immigration officers in grave danger. Carolyn Feinstein, who is married to ICEBlock developer Joshua Aaron, revealed to the far-left The Daily Beast on Monday that the DOJ fired her via email Friday morning. She was working as a forensic accountant for the department before her dismissal. The termination notice cites Feinstein’s lack of candor during an internal inquiry as contributing to her firing. .... Conservative journalist Laura Loomer previously discovered Feinstein’s marriage to Aaron...

Hunter Biden went off on a profanity-laced tirade against the Trump Administration and Democrats during an interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan. Amid ranting about Trump’s immigration policies and slamming James Carville, Hunter Biden revealed his father Joe was drugged up during the 2024 debate. “He flew around the world. He’s 81 years old. He’s tired. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep, and he gets up on the stage and looks like a deer in the headlights,” Hunter Biden said. Joe Biden’s White House physician, Dr. O’Connor, never disclosed that Biden was ever prescribed Ambien. WATCH:...

From a stumbling economy to soaring crime, France has plenty of problems. But, judging by recent events, the government seems to have another threat in mind: social media. Earlier this month, prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s X, alleging foreign interference through algorithm manipulation, while also condemning the platform for spreading “hateful” content. This followed a police raid on the headquarters of the National Rally, France’s leading opposition party, after the launch of yet another dubious investigation into campaign financing. The Fifth Republic is far from alone here. For Western democracy is under threat — not from “foreign...

Gas prices often increase in the summer as more motorists hit the road, but this year’s pump prices have dropped to match the summer of 2021, the last time seasonal gas prices were this low. The national average is down about 3 cents per gallon from last week, returning to the price from a month ago, $3.16. One year ago, gas prices were at $3.574. Gas prices were also at a four-year low on Independence Day. The White House is attributing the phenomenon to President Donald Trump’s energy agenda, which Energy Secretary Chris Wright told The Daily Signal can be...

America First Legal obtained new documents proving what we knew to be true all along: Merrick Garland’s infamous memo labeling concerned parents at school board meetings “domestic terrorists” was politically orchestrated and driven by the Biden White House.

The legislation introduced by Yakym is titled the Securing Help for Involuntary Employment Loss and Displacement (SHIELD) Act. Congressman Rudy Yakym, R-Ind., on Thursday discussed legislation he introduced that would keep unemployment benefits from workers who choose to go on strike."We've introduced a few bills dealing with unemployment insurance, because a big part of what I believe is that we should protect it for people who actually need it," Yakym said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. Yakym explained that there are progressive states that allow workers who choose to go on strike to collect unemployment benefits,...

In “A Hebron ‘Emirate’ or a Colonial Deception?” (7/9/25), the Wall Street Journal and its editorial author Mahmood Jabari complete the amazing feat of distorting facts through an entire editorial, from the first words to the very last. It would seem that such an achievement would be impossible, but this op-ed accomplished it. Let’s start from the title. Israel cannot possibly be considered “colonial” by any stretch of the imagination. The 3,000-year Jewish presence in Israel is documented in history books, substantiated by numerous archaeological findings, and described in the Bible. Jews are from Judea (as the word “Judea” implies),...

Where is Mark Levin on Epstein?” influential MAGA commentator Tucker Carlson asked last week. “I notice that all these very voluble people who do not hesitate before imposing their opinions on the rest of us suddenly don’t have very strong opinions about Epstein,” he continued. “What is that?” Carlson’s questions came in the wake of the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation’s releasing a memo on the late Jeffrey Epstein. The memo closed the case on the notorious sex trafficker and made the surprising claim that there was no evidence he kept an “incriminating ‘client list,’” something that...

Thousands of businesses and households are waiting to connect to the Dutch grid, forcing network operators to ration power in an early indicator of what other European countries are likely to suffer as the speed of electrification increases. . . . The Netherlands is among the countries in Europe to have moved fastest to electrify critical parts of the economy after it in 2023 ended production at its giant onshore gasfield, Groningen.

John Brennan spent years lying to Congress, the press, and the public—yet now claims he's "clueless" about a DOJ investigation. He’s only clueless about how not to lie. When asked why the current Department of Justice might be investigating him, former CIA Director John Brennan answered, as was his wont, with a complete lie: “I am clueless about what it is exactly that they may be investigating me for.” Clueless? Hardly. Brennan knows full well that his fingerprints are on some of the greatest scandals of the last decade. These machinations have threatened the very integrity of our institutions and...

As of December 2024, there were approximately 40 million illegal aliens (or people who should be classified as illegal aliens) living in the United States. Before Biden entered office, there were roughly 20 million illegal aliens in America. Two-thirds of that number were people who had overstayed lawful admissions Under Biden another approximately 20 million entered, some of whom were apprehended at the border and released into the country, some were allowed to apply fraudulently for asylum and be admitted, some crossed illegally without interception, some were admitted under the bogus CBP-1 humanitarian parole program, and some came flooding in...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said during her book tour last weekend that she views Supreme Court opinions as a way to voice her personal convictions. “I just feel that I have a wonderful opportunity to tell people in my opinions how I feel about the issues, and that’s what I try to do,” Jackson said.

In the early 2000s, Sydney was rocked by a series of gang rapes. Victims were ordinary Australian girls, some as young as 13. The perpetrators were Muslim, mostly Lebanese and some Pakistanis. Two cases—the Skaf brothers case and the Khan brothers case—received extensive newspaper coverage, but the phenomenon was more widespread. Sexual assault rates increased 25 percent between 1996 and 2003 in Sydney, even as every other type of violent crime was declining. The gang rapes were similar to the “grooming gangs” operating in Great Britain during the same period. The difference is that in Britain the problem was allowed...

You knew in your heart of hearts from the very beginning. Even as you watched those first flames take the first houses and then leap up through the canyons and down through the hillsides, through the breaks, even jumping PCH to gobble up the houses tucked next to the highway itself - those uniquely SoCal structures sandwiched between the asphalt and that big, blue Pacific surf...you knew. You knew would never see it again, for all the gargoyle grin assurances of the mayor who couldn't be bothered to be there when the flames broke out. For all the slickster, huckstering,...

Former primetime Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has claimed in a recent interview with Chris Cuomo that President Trump explained his rationale to him for why the Epstein Files must not be released.In the interview with News Nation, Cuomo asked O’Reilly what his view was on the Trump administration’s “botched” Epstein file rollout.O’Reilly responded, “I talked to President Trump, man-to-man, eye-to-eye, on St. Patrick’s Day about this. And he said, ‘There are a lot of names associated with Epstein that had nothing to do with Epstein’s conduct.”O’Reilly added, “They maybe had lunch with them or maybe had some correspondence for...

President Donald Trump has officially thrown his weight behind RINO Lindsey Graham—whose record includes climate pandering, open-borders showmanship, and globe-trotting war-baiting—in the 2026 Senate race.“Happy Birthday to Senator Lindsey Graham!” Trump posted, along with a smiling golf-course photo of the two. “He is always there when I need him, and I hope everyone in the Great State of South Carolina will help Lindsey have a BIG WIN in his re-election bid next year.”But if the goal was to rally the MAGA faithful around the career politician, Trump may be in for a surprise.“Thank you, Mr. President! This means a great...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s favorability rating has plummeted amid his renewed feud with President Donald Trump over government spending and his decision to launch a new political party. From The Hill: In the last week, Musk’s net favorability in the aggregate kept by Decision Desk HQ dropped 3.4 points, falling just over 20 points in the negative. The percentage that view the onetime Trump ally unfavorably reached its highest point of the president’s second term at 55.8 percent, while the percentage that view him favorably reached its lowest point yet, at 35.4 percent, as of Monday. The decline comes as...

Christians are permitted to hate sin and death without explaining how they fit into some inscrutable providence of Almighty God.The flooding in Texas that has killed at least 100 people, including dozens of little girls at a Christian camp on the Guadalupe River, is the kind of catastrophe that causes people to question the existence of God. How could a loving God allow this to happen? How can a system of Christian belief in a God of justice and mercy be reconciled with such suffering and devastation and death?These questions aren’t new, of course. They regularly and understandably resurface at...

President Donald Trump’s admission last week that Iran had refused to abandon uranium enrichment—even after U.S.–Israeli strikes in June—exposes the harsh reality of Mideast power politics. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington on Monday, ostensibly to discuss Gaza, but, according to a well-informed Israeli journalist, with the next steps on Iran topping his actual agenda. Trump now faces a pivotal choice: statesmanship in pursuit of U.S. interests or subservience to Israel’s radical government. The recent strikes were meant to cripple Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Instead, they proved the limits of coercion. Satellite imagery shows Iran rebuilding its bombed Fordow facility,...

How will Congress react to a bill banning weather modification? Georgia’s Republican congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene, announced she’s introducing such a proposal soon with a fellow Republican Southern lawmaker, Tennessee’s Tim Burchett, as a co-sponsor. While it’s sure to generate jeers of “conspiracy theories,” that will only indicate the ignorance some may harbor about a practice that is out in the open. Greene tweeted Saturday that she aims to make it a felony offense for private or government entities to inject, release, or disperse anything into the atmosphere that would change the “weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity.” She said...
