The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal brought by 11 Michigan lawmakers seeking to challenge controversial changes to state election law pushed through by progressive groups in 2018 and 2022. Left-wing groups took millions in ‘dark money’ to run statewide referendums to eliminate all voter integrity laws and make challenging elections extremely difficult. The funds could have come from anywhere, and well-known loopholes in campaign finance law allow ‘layering’ so that foreign governments and left-wing billionaires can donate funds to non-profits and then have those funds eventually transferred to 501(c)4 entities that can engage in ballot...

A new poll spells bad news for Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) as he gears up for re-election in 2026. The survey, conducted by Tyson Group, tested the Georgia Democrat against three potential Republican challengers—Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA), Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). The results indicate Ossoff faces a tough road ahead, particularly in a head-to-head race against the popular governor. The poll, conducted in January, shows Ossoff trailing Gov. Kemp by 7 points, a significant warning sign for Democrats hoping to maintain control of the seat. In a direct matchup, Kemp leads Ossoff 49% to...

America is at a crossroads: Will we cave to the radical left’s vision for our nation, where men win trophies in women’s sports and our border is wide open for illegal aliens, or do we stand with President Trump in his mission to Make America Great Again through America First policies? I know where I stand, and I’m running for Senate to fight for the future of our nation where taxpayers, not criminals and foreign governments, are put first. The stench of the Biden-Harris administration’s lawlessness and economic devastation still lingers in the air today. President Trump inherited a mess...

President Barack Obama’s first act as a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2009 — nine months after he took the oath of office — was to try to wriggle out of accepting it. “The morning the prize was announced, his staff investigated whether anyone had failed to travel to Oslo to receive their prize,” writes Nobel insider Geir Lundestad in “The World’s Most Prestigious Prize” (Oxford), out this month. Apparently, the president was among the 61 percent of Americans who believed he didn’t deserve it. “It is true, Obama did not do much before winning,” Lundestad, 74, a member of...

Andy Barr would begin with a federal campaign account affording him millions of dollars but have to confront the reality that he’s little known to most of Kentucky. Daniel Cameron could ride the familiarity of having run statewide twice but carries the scars from his humbling loss in the governor’s race. And Nate Morris would occupy the outsider’s lane of a non-politician but soon find himself answering questions about his stewardship of a Lexington company now struggling financially. Kentucky’s senior senator, Mitch McConnell, has yet to verbalize his expected exit from the U.S. Senate in 2027, but that hasn’t stopped...

President-elect Trump told The Post Saturday he supports immigration visas for highly skilled workers, appearing to side with Elon Musk in the roiling intra-MAGA debate on the issue. “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations. “I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” added Trump, who restricted access to foreign worker visas in...

Nigel Farage has claimed Elon Musk will help Reform UK win over young voters and beat the Conservatives at the next general election. The Reform UK leader said the Tesla tycoon and social media mogul is "an absolute hero figure" for the younger generation. Farage believes Musk would be a "huge help" in connecting youth voters with the party, amid rumours of a potential major donation from the world's richest man. The comments come as Farage remains locked in a heated dispute with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch over Reform UK's membership numbers. The former UKIP leader has hinted at possible...

Elon ADMITS Censoring Laura Loomer’s X Account Over Immigration Debate

Nicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate in 2024, said on Thursday that the H1-B visa program delivers “massive breaks” for cheap labor for tech companies, and those with the visas are essentially “indentured servants” for big tech.The selection of Siriam Krishnan as a senior policy adviser for artificial intelligence in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has sparked a widespread debate over the H1-B visa program, which conservatives have railed as “abusive” and designed to undercut wages of white-collar Americans.Vivek Ramaswamy further enflamed the controversy when he claimed that America “has venerated mediocrity over excellence.”Shanahan...

Elon Musk has said he will “go to war” with Maga Republicans over visas for skilled migrants. The Tesla billionaire, chosen by Donald Trump to be co-head of his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has infuriated anti-immigration elements of the Republican Party by defending the H-1B visa, which permits highly educated foreigners to work in the US for up to six years. Mr Musk responded to the backlash from the Make America Great Again (Maga) faction by vowing to kick out “hateful, unrepentant racists” from the Republican Party. At least 14 conservative holders of accounts on Mr Musk’s social...

Ronald Reagan made one of his most famous economic quotes in a 1982 radio interview. “Free trade serves the cause of economic progress, and it serves the cause of world peace.” Free trade and peace seem to be two of the traits that the DNC and neocons hate the most. History has shown that free trade among nations is one of the best ways to create prosperity and that it is in all countries’ best interests to pursue free trade.

Trump selects Peter Navarro as Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing.Trump says Navarro was "treated horribly by the Deep State" and that Navarro will advance Trump's "manufacturing, tariff and trade agenda."

China has banned exports to the United States of items related to the minerals gallium, germanium and antimony that have potential military applications, it said on Tuesday, a day after Washington’s latest crackdown on China’s chip sector.. A commerce ministry directive on dual-use items with both military and civilian applications cited national security concerns. The order, which takes immediate effect, also requires stricter review of end-usage for graphite items shipped to the U.S.. “In principle, the export of gallium, germanium, antimony, and superhard materials to the United States shall not be permitted,” the commerce ministry said. The curbs strengthen enforcement...

President-elect Donald Trump made raising tariffs on imported goods a tenet of his reelection campaign. And while that could raise prices on everything from jeans to children’s toys for everyday Americans, Trump has also floated the idea of another tariff that could impact Wall Street’s current favorite trade: AI. During an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast ahead of the election, Trump lambasted the idea of the CHIPS Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation Biden signed in 2022 designed to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the US. He called it “so bad.” Instead of using legislation and billions in subsidies to...

President Joe Biden pressed Chinese President Xi Jinping during a private meeting Saturday on the People’s Republic of China’s unfair trade policies after President-elect Donald Trump made ceasing the country’s trade practices a key part of his winning platform. The outgoing Biden, 81, emphasized how federal officials will take necessary actions to intercept any use of advanced technology that undermines national security of the United States or its allies, the White House said in a statement. Biden met with Xi at the Chinese leader’s hotel for the third and final time of his presidency toward the end of an Asia-Pacific...

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has declared the severance of diplomatic and trade relations with Israel. In a statement reported by the Turkish Arabic-language channel Anadolu, Erdogan emphasized, "Turkey will stand with the Palestinians until the end." Erdogan's announcement comes amid escalating tensions in the region, as he warned that Israel's actions are becoming increasingly aggressive. "Israel will become more aggressive as long as weapons and ammunition continue to flow," he stated, expressing concern over the deteriorating situation in the Palestinian territories and Lebanon.

Trump was right on China in 2016, and he’s right in 2024. The U.S. needs to economically decouple and stop funding the military it’s most likely to face in a future conflict. During his 2016 campaign, President Trump promised a tough stance on China. Democrats and mainstream media criticized his approach, claiming his trade restrictions and tariffs triggered a “destructive” and “failed” trade war. Now, as the 2024 election approaches, Trump pledges an even tougher approach to China, with 100% tariffs. Critics are reviving old arguments, suggesting that it would be better for the U.S. to elect Kamala Harris and...

The Wall Street Journal reported that Russia supplied targeting intelligence to Yemen's Houthi forces for attacks on Western ships in the Red Sea. Yemen’s Houthi terrorists used targeting data provided by Russia to attack Western ships in the Red Sea earlier this year, an exclusive Thursday Wall Street Journal report disclosed. According to the report, the Houthis used Russian satellite data to destabilize the region as the Israel-Hamas war expanded throughout the past year. A person familiar with the matter and two European defense officials reportedly told the WSJ this information. Furthermore, the data was passed through Islamic Revolutionary Guard...
