    Two churchgoers have been killed and a state trooper seriously wounded in two shootouts during a gunman's rampage. Panicked passengers ran for their lives as shots were fired at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky, about 11.40am, wounding the trooper. The shooter carjacked a vehicle and fled 16 miles to Richmond Road Baptist Church, where he was cornered by pursuing cops, police said. Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers said the gunman, who may have a connection to the congregation, fired on worshippers inside the church. Beverly Gunn, 72, and Christina Combs, 32, were shot dead as they tried to escape,...

    As a warming planet delivers more extreme weather, experts warn that the Trump administration is dismantling the government’s disaster capabilities.In an effort to shrink the federal government, President Trump and congressional Republicans have taken steps that are diluting the country’s ability to anticipate, prepare for and respond to catastrophic flooding and other extreme weather events, disaster experts say. Staff reductions, budget cuts and other changes made by the administration since January have already created holes at the National Weather Service, which forecasts and warns of dangerous weather. Mr. Trump’s budget proposal for the next fiscal year would close 10 laboratories...

    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.
  • Electric Desperation: Tesla and Ford Urge Buyers to Act Fast as $7,500 EV Tax Credit Is Set to Expire

    With the impending expiration of the $7,500 EV tax credit, Tesla and Ford are desperately pushing potential buyers to make their purchases before the September 30 deadline. Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill has ended the EV handout, much to the dismay of Elon Musk, Ford, and others trying to sell EVs to Americans who have not embraced the technology. Business Insider reports that the race is on for automakers to sell as many EVs as possible before the $7,500 tax credit, a crucial incentive for buyers, comes to an end on September 30. President Donald Trump’s recently passed Big Beautiful...
  • “Disturbing, disgusting”: Florida Democrats condemn ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ conditions after tour

    Florida Democrats are raising alarms over conditions at the state’s new immigration detention center, 'Alligator Alcatraz'. They say the facility is inhumane and an environmental threat to the Everglades. On Saturday morning, a group of Florida Democratic members of Congress visited the facility for a brief, state-coordinated tour that lawmakers say was a sanitized effort to cover up what’s really happening inside. U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who represents Florida’s 25th congressional district, said the group had originally intended to make an unannounced visit, which is permitted under federal law. However, they believe the state caught wind of the...

Lawmakers reported seeing meager meals, and detainees are using the same water from the toilets for drinking and brushing their teeth.</p>
  • The Left’s obsession with illegal immigration gets weirder

    Washington Examiner ^ | 11 Jul, 2025 | Zachary Faria
    The Left’s obsession with illegal immigration is getting worse, and weirder, as it strains to resist any and all attempts to enforce immigration law. The immigration raids in and around Los Angeles have resulted in more violent actions from “protesters” and more ridiculous defenses from Democratic politicians. On the latter front, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) called President Donald Trump “scum” for a raid that resulted in “Kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields.” Weirdly, Newsom did not think to find out why nearly a dozen children were out in...
  • 13 Years: The Legacy of Andrew Breitbart: The Cultural Shift That Changed the World

    Breitbart News ^ | Mar 2025
    Politics is downstream from culture. It’s a sentiment that has echoed and reverberated throughout the conservative movement for years – a sentiment that originated with our founder, Andrew Breitbart. Andrew always knew that culture was the single most significant factor that affected political change. It’s 2025. The establishment media’s credibility is nonexistent, and they are in disarray. The influence of Hollywood celebrities has been rendered not only impotent but a detriment to those in politics relying on their endorsements. Sports figures and musicians are doing the Trump dance at major events in front of major crowds. DEI is disappearing as...
  • Taxpayers will no longer fund illegal aliens’ education

    Taxpayers will no longer pay for the education of noncitizens in the U.S. illegally, the U.S. Department of Education said Thursday. The department said “it will end taxpayer subsidization of illegal aliens in career, technical, and adult education programs.” A news release said that this change takes place due to an interpretative rule issued Thursday in which “the Department rescinded a Dear Colleague letter from the Clinton Administration that enabled non-qualified illegal aliens to access federal public benefits in contravention of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA).” Title IV of PRWORA “generally limits eligibility for ‘federal public...

    Donald Trump and his allies have the U.S. census in their sights as they continue to pursue their anti-democratic visions for the country. Touring a controversial new immigrant detention center in Florida on Tuesday, Donald Trump excitedly backed a proposal from far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., that would drastically alter the U.S. electoral map if implemented. Greene said Monday that her proposal, which she said she will introduce in the House, would require the Census Bureau to “immediately” conduct a new census — even though the census takes place every 10 years, with the next one set for 2030....

    A day after a leaks war played out in the media over the (mis)handling of the Epstein files by Attorney General Pan Bondi that started with reports that a disgruntled Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino had not come to work on Friday and featured rumors of threatened resignations and demands for her firing, FBI Director Kash Patel finally spoke out about the controversy. Patel’s comment, posted to his personal X account, will not put the matter to rest, but his statement on his tenure as FBI director is pretty definitive: “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s...

    What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the...

    I wrote recently about the chilling jurisprudence of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who has drawn the ire of colleagues in opinions for her rhetoric and extreme positions. Many have expressed alarm over her adherence to what has been described by a colleague as an “imperial judiciary” model of jurisprudence. Now, it appears that Jackson’s increasingly controversial opinions are serving a certain cathartic purpose for the far-left Biden appointee. On ABC News, Jackson stated, “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...

    Since his arrival at the struggling newspaper, Washington Post publisher and CEO Will Lewis has fought to reverse the plunge in revenue and readership to save this great American newspaper. His greatest challenge has been the staff itself, which seems willing to embrace bankruptcy rather than give up its bias. This week, Lewis sent another warning to his intransigent staff: get on board or get out. I have written about Lewis’s fight to save the Post from itself over the years. Many writers and editors seemed to believe that owner Jeff Bezos would run the newspaper as a type of...

    As he looks back at the defeat of former Vice President Kamala Harris last fall, the thing that keeps bothering Andrei Cherny, a onetime Democratic speechwriter and state party leader, is that he didn’t know what Harris would have done as president if she had won. The way he saw it, President Donald Trump ran on his own ideas, but Harris only ran against Trump’s. “The oldest truism in politics is you can’t beat something with nothing,” Cherny said. Now Cherny, the co-founder of a nearly 2-decade-old liberal policy journal, is organizing a group of Democratic thinkers to re-create what...

    A mob waved foreign flags as it tried to block the enforcement of the nation’s popular laws at a pot-growing farm in rural California. The foreign affiliations of the mobs’ flags were spotlighted by Stephen Miller, top aide to President Donald Trump, and by the chief spokesperson at the Department of Homeland Security. The foreign affiliation is important because it helps Trump unlock the deportation powers granted by the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Trump has cited the Alien Enemies Act in his immigration enforcement, but Democratic-appointed judges are blocking such actions until the U.S. Supreme Court makes a decision. Lower-court...

    I am sure that Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent don't want to say "I told you so," but... Yes, according to CNBC the United States just posted some big economic dubs, with the budget hitting a surplus thanks to the tariffs that - one day, I am constantly assured - will tank the economy. The U.S. government posted a surplus in June as tariffs gave an extra bump to a sharp increase in receipts, the Treasury Department said Friday. With government red ink swelling throughout the year, last month saw a surplus of just over $27 billion, following...

I think this will be the right decision for America, and the economy will boom,” Pulte said. President Trump has been calling on Fed Chair Jerome Powell to resign. “”Too Late” should resign immediately!!!” Trump said on Truth Social last week.

    Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino has told people he is considering resigning amid a major clash between the FBI and Justice Department over the continued fallout from the release of the Jeffrey Epstein memo, several sources familiar with the matter told CNN. This comes after a heated confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the case earlier this week. The infighting over the case came to a head during a Wednesday meeting, which included Bongino, Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, sources said. Bongino and Patel were confronted about whether...

    The Democratic Party has built its brand around “tolerance,” but in reality, that word has become a smokescreen for some of the most extreme, indefensible positions in modern politics. They call it women’s rights, but what they really mean is unrestricted abortion on demand—right up to birth. They label it transgender rights, but we’re talking about grown men exposing themselves to young girls and being celebrated for it. The party’s so-called “big tent” isn’t inclusive—it’s a sanctuary for fringe activism and moral decay. What once passed for liberalism has morphed into a disturbing embrace of chaos, all under the false...
