Traveling from country to country without restrictions. Shorter lines at the border. The right to live and work in your dream destination, or to reconnect with family roots. All that, and more, is the dream of those who seek dual citizenship. And that includes monsieur George Clooney, who celebrated the end of 2025 by acquiring French citizenship for himself and his family. Dual citizenship — the ability to be a citizen of two (or more) countries — has long been popular with travelers, expats and dreamers. In a world of increasing red tape, who wouldn’t want to skip the long...

A leaked photo reportedly from an internal U.S. Postal Service (USPS) update reveals that the agency will continue to use “non-domiciled” drivers. The leaked image purports to show that USPS, which operates independently of the president, will accept or hire non-citizen commercial drivers as of 2026. The leak comes in the weeks following the Trump administration’s announcement of increased scrutiny and English proficiency requirements for CDL issuance to migrants. Sen. Rick Scott released a statement last week urging the Trump administration to crack down on USPS CDL hiring practices. “It is deeply concerning that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) reportedly...

The State Department is taking decisive action against five individuals who have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to censor, demonetize, and suppress American viewpoints they oppose. These radical activists and weaponized NGOs have advanced censorship crackdowns by foreign states—in each case targeting American speakers and American companies. As such, I have determined that their entry, presence, or activities in the United States have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States. Based on these determinations, the Department has taken steps to impose visa restrictions on agents of the global censorship-industrial complex who, as a result, will...

🚨 BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirms he is ENDING the NGO foreign aid industrial complex 🔥 "Foreign aid should be used for the purpose of furthering the national interest. That doesn't mean we don't care about human rights. That doesn't mean we don't care about starvation. That doesn't mean we don't care about hunger. That doesn't mean we don't care about humanitarian need." "What it does mean, however, is that even foreign aid, which is NOT charity - it is an act of the US taxpayer." "The United States' and the taxpayer money should be spent in furtherance...

We spent a lot of time hearing about "foreign election interference" after President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016. Democrats said Russian collusion and meddling won the election for Trump and posed a grave threat to our democracy. But as we're fond of saying, it's (D)ifferent when Democrats do it. Last year, during the presidential election, members of the U.K. Labour Party came to the U.S. to campaign for Kamala Harris. Politico reported that the Labour government was "scared" of the election's outcome and feared Donald Trump would win a second term; when American voters objected to this interference, Prime...

SNIP The truth is that our foreign aid had become a joke — a way to line pockets and spread wacko leftist ideology more than anything. Rubio told ABC's George Stephanopoulos — who tried to do that whole "Trump is killing people by cutting aid" thing — back in September that "We're gonna do more than anyone in the world, again, this year, but we're gonna do it the right way. We're gonna do it holistically. We're gonna do it as part of an integrated foreign policy." During that interview, Rubio pointed out that the reason why people die is...

Location, location, location. That’s what matters now on X, because Elon Musk has just rolled out a hugely important new feature, and it’s confirming what some of us have suspected was the case for some time now. It turns out that many of the openly racist and anti-Semitic accounts on X that claim to be America First but are actually giving MAGA a bad name — well, they’re not true America First at all. In fact, they’re largely coming from Muslim countries. And now we have the proof. A week ago, Fox News personality Katie Pavlich, a friend of mine,...

A temporary glitch on X led to a credibility bloodbath for a variety of foreign propaganda accounts that were either posing as Americans or lying about their locations in other ways. Days prior, Head of Product Nikita Brier had announced a new feature revealing the origin and current location of users. When it rolled out, though, only account owners could view it.

Released on Friday, the new analysis by Americans for Public Trust (APT) shows how five overseas charities have collectively funneled almost $2 billion into left-wing groups, policy fights, and more “to advance their extreme, foreign, activist agenda” in America.

BUTLER COUNTY, IOWA – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem calling on the department to stop issuing work authorizations to student visa holders in direct violation of the law. Grassley also emphasized how foreign student work authorizations put America at risk of technological and corporate espionage, citing more than 33,000 current Chinese student visa holders with STEM work authorizations. “Competition from foreign graduates is contributing to rising unemployment rates among college-educated Americans. This should not be the case. Congress placed caps on employment visas for foreign graduates to ensure that...

Officials are reportedly reviewing activity from groups of interest in the Salt Lake City area, tied to recent overseas operations and intelligence shared by a U.S. ally.

The Trump administration on Monday asked the Supreme Court for an emergency order to keep billions of dollars in foreign aid frozen. The crux of the legal fight is over nearly $5 billion in congressionally approved aid that President Donald Trump last month said he would not spend, invoking disputed authority that was last used by a president roughly 50 years ago. Last week, U.S. District Judge Amir Ali ruled that the Republican administration’s decision to withhold the funding was likely illegal. …

A Romanian national is facing theft-related charges after allegedly using an ATM scam known as "cash trapping" to steal from victims in North Texas, according to Plano police. The suspect, identified as Ionut Aurel Iova, is accused of installing devices that blocked cash from dispensing during withdrawals. Authorities say he returned later to retrieve the trapped money, leaving victims, including an elderly person, to assume the ATM had simply malfunctioned. "Believing the ATM is malfunctioning, victims typically leave to report the issue or find a different ATM," Plano police said in a news release Tuesday. "The criminals then return to...
