The far-left judicial insurrectionists and institutions have already filed 129 legal challenges against President Trump less than two months into his second term. This is more than twice as many legal challenges that he went through during his first full term. It is obvious that this is a coordinated attack by the far-left to destroy Trump’s all-star administration and the nation. And, Chief Justice Roberts is lecturing President Trump?

Trump was right. You can’t make peace deals with Ukraine as long as Zelensky is calling the shots. He can’t be trusted. Zelensky came to America in early March to sign a minerals agreement and agree to a ceasefire as a first step towards peace with Russia. But the entire signing ceremony blew up when Zelensky started acting squirrelly and reneged on his prior promises. Democrat Senator Chris Murphy knew this was going to happen before the meeting even started with Trump. .... Snip.... On Saturday the Ukrainian leader bragged that Ukraine is now holding long range missiles that can...

A radical federal judge has moved to block former President Donald Trump’s efforts to secure America’s borders and protect its citizens. On Saturday, Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, an Obama-appointed leftist, granted a temporary restraining order to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act—an action well within the executive’s constitutional authority. This outrageous ruling comes after far-left groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Democracy Forward, rushed to court in a desperate bid to shield illegal immigrants from deportation. Their lawsuit, J.G.G. v. Trump, seeks to upend Trump’s lawful enforcement...

The Texas House, under the leadership of newly elected Speaker Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock), has not only appointed a Democrat, Joe Moody of El Paso, as Speaker Pro Tempore but has also handed over the leadership of half of the chamber’s newly created subcommittees to Democrats.

Thanks to the disgraceful support from 36 supposed Republicans and 49 Democrats, he managed to cling to his position. Now, he’s repaying his Democrat cronies by handing them...

The FBI is stalling again. The world’s top intelligence agency is still refusing to turn over the Seth Rich records to Attorney Ty Clevenger.

Kash Patel cannot be sworn in as FBI Director soon enough! Clevenger previously investigated who supplied the DNC and Podesta emails to Wikileaks during the 2016 election cycle. This was always the key to the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense. No proof was ever offered up...

House Speaker Mike Johnson brokered a last-minute agreement with Democrat leaders late Friday. The deal extends federal funding through March and allocates substantial disaster relief, but notably excludes President-elect Donald Trump’s demand for a debt ceiling increase, according to AP. The 118-page package maintains current government funding levels and includes $100 billion for disaster aid and $10 billion in agricultural assistance. However, it omits provisions to raise the debt ceiling, a point of contention for Trump and his allies, including billionaire Elon Musk, who had advocated for a long-term suspension of the borrowing limit. Trump reiterated his position on the...

In a rare display of spine, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has come out in defense of former Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL), urging other RINOs to abandon the “lynch mob mentality” over unverified allegations as Gaetz seeks confirmation as President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General.
