A federal court has ruled in favor of free speech in a fight that was created by an attack by the city of Louisville, Kentucky, on a local photographer. The city had decided to impose its religious viewpoint and ordered the photographer, Chelsey Nelson, to use her artistic talents to promote anti-Christian same-sex wedding ceremonies "if she photographers and blogs about weddings between one man and one woman," the biblical standard. Leftist city officials even had tried to order her to be silent on such issues, claiming that they could forbid her and her studio from explaining to clients and...

While California Gov. Gavin Newsom cosplays being president, promotes his election rigging scheme, and flame-posts on X against President Donald Trump and Republicans, his attorney general Rob Bonta has been busy furthering the state's progressive aims, which include his attempts to torment the Trump administration. Sadly, part of Bonta's marching orders also involves tormenting the law-abiding citizens of the Golden State with frivolous lawsuits.

As opposed to Chicago's mayor, El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells has no problem cooperating with law enforcement in the state and...

[H/T Bert]The video premiered Jul 27, 2025 and is 14 minutes in length. I posted my notes on the first half of the video (Part 1) below.[40 seconds into video]1. Nunes says Tulsi Gabbard explained that the President's Daily Briefing (PDB) contained the intel that no collusion was detected between Trump and Putin. That information was never given to Congress; but information given to Congress was in that 'disposed of PDB). President Trump's campaign was made aware of this information as was the House Intelligence Committee (w/Devin Nunes). Obama was briefed with the same information (i.e., 'nothing to see here'),...

The Biden Justice Department and prosecutor Jack Smith were involved in more than just destroying President Trump in 2022-2023 as a presidential candidate. We now know, thanks to Sen. Charles E. Grassley and documents provided by an FBI whistleblower, that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s team launched a much more exhaustive investigation. Called Arctic Frost, the FBI onslaught focused on Mr. Trump and on the conservative movement, its money, infrastructure and brain trusts. The FBI theory was that groups such as the Republican National Committee contributed to Mr. Trump’s claims that the 2020 election count was rigged. In September, Mr. Grassley...

Move over FBI and IRS, a new federal agency is garnering attention for alleged weaponization against Americans. The Homeland Security Department announced Tuesday that an internal investigation uncovered “widespread abuses” carried out by the Biden administration's Transportation Security Administration to make air travel “weaponized” against certain Americans. The revelation that U.S. citizens were kept from flying over their political views drew immediate condemnation from Congress. "It’s not American …. It’s another example of weaponization of our government that took place under the Biden administration," Rep. Mark Harris, R-N.C., said. "It’s absolutely unacceptable." In a joint announcement with the TSA, Homeland...

WND already has reported that a Christian baker from California has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take up her cake fight. The dispute is over the state's virulent attack on baker Cathy Miller because she declines to promote ideologies that violate her Christian faith in her cake artistry. The court already has ruled on the issue, deciding in the case involving Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado that he could not be forced to violate his faith.

BREAKING: Congressman Eric Swalwell announces he will TARGET and INVESTIGATE private citizens who work with President Trump "when" Democrats win in 2026. "Accountability is COMING. It's all coming out. I hope this deters people from doing more of these deals for the president!" "We will subpoena the DOJ, but also private actors who've done these drug deals with the administration!" So they are just announcing their plans to weaponize government now.

A Trump administration official was physically assaulted by a “deranged leftist” inside the United Nations Thursday afternoon during the gathering of the UN General Assembly, Fox News Digital has learned. An official working in international relations for the Department of Health and Human Services was in New York City serving in a support role for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the department’s leadership team at UNGA. “An HHS official was followed into a bathroom, recorded, physically assaulted and verbally accosted by a deranged leftist at the UN who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security,” White...

It is difficult not to notice the strategy of how certain Trump administration officials are targeted.Any cabinet member that looks inward to reveal the status of corrupt activity within the information silo itself becomes a target. Cabinet officials who focus externally, meaning the majority of their effort looks outside government, are seemingly left alone.HHS Secretary RFK Jr and Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, are examples of those receiving the worst ideological targeting from operations within HHS and the Intelligence Community respectively.Conversely, CIA Director John Ratcliffe faces almost no scrutiny or targeting by the Intelligence Community as the silo operators...

Donald Trump is now President of the United States for a second term, having survived an unprecedented campaign of lawfare that has included no fewer than four criminal prosecutions, two state and two federal, brought during the four years that he was out of office. All were brought by highly partisan Democratic Party prosecutors. The four prosecutions of Trump are all now essentially dead. However, much of the process of killing off these prosecutions has occurred either since Trump’s re-election, or only because of the fortuity of Trump getting enough appointments to the Supreme Court during his first four years...

A left-wing activist group is encouraging users on social media to tweet the location of any of the conservative Supreme Court Justices in exchange for money. The justices were the majority who voted to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision last month. Since then, pro-abortion activists have repeatedly protested outside the justices' homes and, in some cases, confronted them in public. ShutDownDC is promising a bounty of $50 for anyone who shares a 'confirmed sighting' and a further $200 if they are still in that location half an hour later. 'DC Service Industry Workers...

Arizona’s Court of Appeals declined to take up AG Kris Mayes’ bid to revive the “fake electors” prosecution, dealing a major legal setback and leaving the case on precarious footing.

The FBI under President Joe Biden investigated no less than 92 conservative or Republican groups and individuals, as part of an operation code-named, “Arctic Frost,” which scoured the dregs for a way to charge President Donald Trump with crimes related to the 2020 election, according to documents released Tuesday by the Senate Judiciary Committee. “In other words, Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump,” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). “It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.”...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s liaison to China is the daughter of a computer scientist building a genealogical database for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) who has considerable ties to Chinese intelligence and military personnel, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered. Amy Tong has held multiple cabinet positions in Newsom’s administration, such as serving as the Government Operations Agency secretary, and is now listed as “senior counselor to the governor,” government records show. Newsom has repeatedly sent Tong to negotiate with CCP officials and Chinese intelligence personnel, and “appointed Tong to lead people-to-people exchanges with China,” according to a July...

The Secret Service has uncovered a vast network of over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers in the New York area, believed to be used by foreign “nation-state threat actors” and criminals for swatting calls targeting prominent conservatives including Marjorie Taylor Greene. The amount of hardware seized in the bust could be used to hamper cell service in New York City.

Americans paying attention have long known Biden’s Handlers weaponized the DOJ/FBI against Normal Americans. They’ve also known Joe Biden was their doddering, stumbling, little girl and woman groping, barely conscious mouthpiece. President Autopen was the man that very nearly wasn’t there. The FBI surveilled and harassed parents who expressed their concerns about the political and sexual indoctrination of their children to local school boards. Likewise, were Catholics branded “radical traditional Catholics” surveilled. Then FBI Director Christopher Wray serially lied about that, claiming those tactics were confined to a single FBI field office and he immediately ended the practice, so shocked...

WASHINGTON — An FBI investigation launched in the wake of the the 2020 election scrutinized nearly 100 Republican and GOP-aligned groups or people — including Turning Point USA, co-founded by slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, unclassified bureau files released Tuesday show. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) published files related to the probe — codenamed “Arctic Frost” — during a panel hearing, saying the records revealed “Arctic Frost was much broader than just an electoral matter” and that the investigation “expanded to Republican organizations.” “Some examples of the groups the [Christopher] Wray FBI sought to place under political investigation...

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been permanently sidelined from prosecuting President Donald Trump’s election interference case in Georgia after she lost an appeal at the state’s highest court. The Georgia Court of Appeals in December ruled that Willis and her office could not continue to prosecute the case, citing an "appearance of impropriety" stemming from her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Willis appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court in January, but on Tuesday the high court declined in a 4-3 decision to take up the case. One judge didn’t participate and another was disqualified. Steve Sadow,...

In news that should not surprise anyone, the Biden regime had Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA squarely in its crosshairs. As Fox News reported, Patel appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for an annual oversight hearing of the FBI on Tuesday morning. He has come under fire for his initial handling of the Kirk assassination by a radical left terrorist. During the hearing, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that an FBI whistleblower revealed to him an FBI project called “Arctic Frost” that targeted groups like Kirk’s TPUSA. “92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals, were placed under the...
