The Republican Congress and President Donald Trump just delivered a major victory to the American people by passing and enacting into law the historic One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB). Predictably, liberal media outlets – led by CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post – continue to insist the OBBB will add trillions of dollars to our national debt. The truth – backed by both historical experience and robust economic analysis – is the exact opposite. President Trump’s OBBB will not only boost jobs and take-home pay for America’s working-class families. It will slash deficits by trillions...

Several Boeing 747s have been spotted on radar leaving China for Iran over the last week, according to reports, sparking concerns that the CCP is helping the Middle Eastern nation transport cargo or people out of the country as Israel continues to strike the country’s nuclear facilities. Starting on June 14th, FlightRadar24 shows that at least five flights traveled from China to Iran, and The Telegraph reported that the "mystery transport planes" had flown westward along northern China before crossing into Kazakhstan, south through Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, and then fell off radar as they approached Iran. Additionally, the report indicated...

Iranian officials have reportedly signaled to Arab states that it would be willing to negotiate with the U.S. if it refrains from joining the Israeli assault, according to the Wall Street Journal. The regime in Tehran has reportedly used the Arab states to pass along the message to the U.S. and Middle Eastern officials amid ongoing air strikes and missile assaults between Iran and Israel. Israel, last week, launched an air campaign against the Iranian nuclear program and key regime officials, leading to the current hostilities. Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly warned the Iranians that the current regime is...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has ordered the Justice Department to investigate the Democratic Party’s top fundraising platform, the latest example of Trump using the tools of the government to go after his political opponents. Trump, in an executive order signed Thursday, directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate allegations that Republicans have raised that ActBlue allows illegal campaign donations. Democrats, who had anticipated they would be targeted, condemned the move Thursday and ActBlue called it an “oppressive use of power” by the White House.......

WASHINGTON (AP) — "Democratic officials in 19 states filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s attempt to reshape elections across the U.S., calling it an unconstitutional invasion of states’ clear authority to run their own elections. Thursday’s lawsuit is the fourth against the executive order issued just a week ago. It seeks to block key aspects of it, including new requirements that people provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote and a demand that all mail ballots be received by Election Day." “The President has no power to do any of this,” the state attorneys general wrote in...

On Thursday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart News economics editor John Carney discussed tariffs. Carney stated, “[W]e built a sustainable economy, we did this thing, starting with Alexander Hamilton, where we said it’s really going to matter that we make things in the United States. … Yeah, we’re going to import stuff, we [were] never not going to buy stuff from abroad, but we were going to make sure that the internal American economy was healthy, could produce a lot, provided jobs…not just for people with graduate degrees, not just for somebody who is going to work on Wall Street, but...

I am looking for links to original videos/photos from inside the capital building when Ashli Babbitt was shot. Not outside in the hallway (which are easily available) but inside the room showing the barricades. Specifically I want to see several 'claims' are true: 1. That Senators/Congress people were in the room and they had to be protected. Frequently quoted as justification for shooting. 2. That the Shooter (Michael Byrd) was alone (not with other security near the door) and he warned people not to come through. 3. Actual videos of the glass and doors being broken before Ashli Babbitt tried...

he Chinese Foreign Ministry declared its support on Wednesday for Egypt’s attempt to galvanize the Arab world into supporting a plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, intended to prevent President Donald Trump from taking the territory over. Much of Gaza is currently uninhabitable as a result of two decades of being under the control of the genocidal terrorist organization Hamas. Following Hamas’s brutal invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, the country declared war on the group and attacked Gaza, seeking to destroy its terrorist infrastructure in the strip. As a result, much of Gaza requires significant reconstruction, a task...

It's a video. It's not long, but it is hard to watch.

End of the American Dream)—We have a government that is literally fighting against itself. The federal workforce has always been more liberal than the population as a whole, but in recent years things have gotten really bad. Prior to this year, Democrats had been in control of the White House for 12 of the past 16 years. Over time, leftists that were hired for key positions just kept hiring more leftists underneath them. In fact, it got to a point where DEI policies at various agencies essentially institutionalized the systematic hiring of leftists. By the end of the Biden administration,...

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) only runs a program to house migrants that is funded by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), contrary to posts online saying that FEMA disaster relief funds were diverted by the Biden Administration to house migrants in the U.S. illegally. FEMA and its Disaster Relief Fund have been targets of disinformation in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which devastated parts of the U.S. Southeast in late September.

AMMAN/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Jordan is reportedly preparing for war with Israel if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attempts to expel Palestinians into its territory. The Middle East Eye (MEE) publication’s warning comes after U.S. President Donald J. Trump said he would like to see Jordan and Egypt take in Palestinians to “clean out” the Gaza Strip. Officials in Amman and Jerusalem told MEE that “the last thing Jordan wants is war,” adding that the kingdom is “eager” for a peaceful solution.......

President Trump is taking down the deep state. He’s currently tearing down the USAID. Elon Musk calls it a ball of worms. “As we dug into USAID, it became apparent that what we have here is not an apple with a worm in it, but we have actually just a ball of worms. If you have an apple with a worm in it, you can take the worm out. If you have a whole ball of worms, it’s hopeless. USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple, you just need to get...

The good news first: As RedState has been reporting, Christopher Wray is on his way out as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). President-elect Donald Trump called it a "great day for America as it will end the Weaponization of what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice" and promised his new administration "will now restore the rule of law for all Americans." Trump also signaled his support for Kash Patel, his nominee to succeed Wray as FBI director. "We want our FBI back, and that will now happen," Trump wrote, as he ended his...

The most blatant attack on the 1st Amendment is currently happening in California and the perpetrators seem proud of themselves over it. California officials have rejected further rocket launches by SpaceX, a company owned by Elon Musk. Some of the officials have cited his posts on social media platform 𝕏, which he owns. According to the Los Angeles Times [emphasis added]: SpaceX’s plans to launch more rockets from the California coast were rejected by a state commission this week, with some officials citing Elon Musk’s political posts on 𝕏 and raising concerns about the billionaire’s labor record at his companies....

(Zero Hedge)—Two years ago Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted to Joe Rogan that the FBI pressured Facebook into censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story. Now he’s participating in a Congressional investigation. In a stunning Monday evening letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg admitted that senior Biden administration officials “repeatedly pressured” Facebook teams to suppress information related to COVID-19 that the platform would not have otherwise censored – and the administration ‘expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.’ Zuck now says that Facebook should not have compromised its standards “due to pressure from any...

U.S. job growth cooled sharply in July while the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to the highest level in nearly three years. The Labor Department reported Friday that employers added 114,000 jobs in July, missing the 175,000 gain forecast by LSEG economists. The unemployment rate also unexpectedly inched higher to 4.3% against expectations that it would hold steady at 4.1%. It marked the highest level for the jobless rate since October 2021.

I wanted to ask if anyone had run across information about the following on the internet: 1. The SS usually has drones up. Has there been any comments about video from drones about the shooters position and the nearby water tower before the drones failed? 2. Does anyone know if the field has been completely gone over for bullets to do ballistics to compare and find out how many shots, where they hit dirt, and if they match a single weapon? This seems like standard stuff, but I haven’t seen anything. 3. The victims that were shot and bullet fragments...

DCNF)—CNN senior political analyst Mark Preston said on Wednesday that Americans can rest assured that there is not a deep state that could eliminate former President Donald Trump because Washington is too disorganized. Trump survived an assassination attempt by now-deceased 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at his Saturday rally in Pennsylvania, with some Republicans blaming Democrats’ rhetoric for inciting the incident. “CNN News Central” host Kate Bolduan asserted that Republicans’ use of the word “they” typically refers to Democrats and the media, with Preston suggesting that they might be alluding to the deep state but asserting that such an entity does...

The US Federal Government has made two claims that I feel are implausible. The first claim is that the shooter was 'acting' alone. That means, in less than 12 hours they have claimed to research every part of his life, his contacts, his past, where he has been, who he as been with, who he may have been speaking with on-line (including on xbox/game consoles), where he trained and were he got him ammunition. I find that implausible. The second is even...
