CBO’s review of the 2025 fiscal year shows Republicans have every reason to reject Democrats’ demands to end the ‘Schumer Shutdown.’Are you the kind of person who likes to spend $4 for every $3 you take in? If so, your financial management “skills” might qualify you to run for Congress. With people like that running the show, is it any wonder that interest costs on our national debt surpassed $1 trillion last year for the first time ever?The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) review of the fiscal year that just concluded on Sept. 30 provides one of many reasons why Republicans...

Candace Owens doesn’t agree with Trump getting a Nobel Peace Prize because the people of Gaza are in danger. She said : "And Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, by the way. For the planned ethnic cleansing so that they could profit on land and turn it into a beach town. So let me say this. This is our never again, okay? This is a Holocaust. A Holocaust just happened. A real Holocaust just happened. We will never forget this. You need to tell your children what happened in Gaza. You can tell them exactly who did it, exactly whose...

Sir Sadiq Khan has been called a “disgrace” after he suggested that protesters who chant “From the river to the sea” were not anti-Semitic. The slogan is frequently chanted at pro-Palestinian marches, despite claims that it envisages the destruction of the state of Israel. The Mayor of London said that whether the phrase was anti-Semitic or not depended on the context in which it was spoken. He made his comment during Mayor’s Question Time at City Hall on Thursday, a week after protests that took place on the evening of the Manchester synagogue attack. Susan Hall, the leader of the...

If U.S. President Donald Trump really wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize, he needs to stop the war in Gaza, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday. Speaking to France's BFM TV from New York, Macron said that only Trump has the power to put pressure on Israel to end the war. "There is one person who can do something about it, and that is the U.S. president. And the reason he can do more than us, is because we do not supply weapons that allow the war in Gaza to be waged. We do not supply equipment that...

Let’s talk about the deal. For two years, Gaza’s position was that it won’t release the hostages without a full withdrawal and a permanent ceasefire. Today they gave up on both key objectives. The IDF is still in Gaza and negotiations will start only after the release of the hostages. An unkind voice would call it surrendering and I’ve never been accused of kindness towards the enemy. So what happened? Israel dropped a few bombs on Qatar. Suddenly, the puppet master behind Hamas discovered that he was not immune. Qatar was just another Arab country that Israel bombed at will....

Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-CEO Alex Ryvchin has described antisemitism as a "norm" Jews will face for years as he called out a lack of leadership across institutions and the government.The Co-Chief Executive of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, Alex Ryvchin, has said the hate directed at Jews in Australia and around the world has become a disturbing norm due to an absence of leadership and accountability. Mr Ryvchin spoke to Sky News host Chris Kenny on the second anniversary of the October 7 atrocities amid outrage over pro-Hamas graffiti which appeared in Melbourne on Tuesday and a...

U.S. Flag with Israeli Stars Which of the United States or Israel uses the other for its foreign policy? Is Israel the proxy for US foreign policy in the Middle East? Or does Israel determine US foreign policy, both through and because of the Zionist lobby and the neocons and liberals present in the US administration? Is it “the world upside down” “tails wagging dogs”? This is a very old question: who manipulates whom in this American-Israeli relationship?

The Trump Department of War is drawing up plans for kinetic operations against drug traffickers inside Venezuela, according to a thinly sourced NBC News story. Those strikes could begin in a "matter of weeks." The strikes would be primarily carried out by drones and would target drug cartel members and leadership, as well as drug labs.Putting aside the brittleness of the story, there are some considerations that move it from the "totally freakin unlikely" category to "slightly plausible." First, a disclaimer. The U.S. military has plans for just about any contingency. This dates back to at least the 1930s, when...

After Hamas announced its response to his peace proposal Oct. 3, President Donald Trump called on Israel to “immediately stop the bombing of Gaza” to clear the way for the release of hostages. In a breaking news report, Hamas-friendly source Al-Jazeera reported that the terrorist organization accepted two key proposals of Trump’s 21-point plan, namely freeing all Israeli captives and handing over administration of the enclave to Palestinian technocrats. According to the Associated Press, Hamas also argued that “aspects of the proposal touching on the future of the Gaza Strip and Palestinian rights should be decided on the basis of...

The Brief Students say Northwestern University has blocked enrollment this quarter for some students who have refused antisemitism training. The students argued the training videos were biased in favor of Israel over Palestinians and made claims without citing sources. Northwestern University stated all students are required to complete annual training on discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct, warning that failure to do so can result in registration holds, though students only need to attest to following university policies—not agree with the training content. EVANSTON, Ill. - Some Northwestern University students were not allowed to enroll for classes in the fall quarter...

The deranged madman who killed at least two people and injured nine others at a Michigan Latter-day Saints church, torching the building and opening fire on fleeing congregants and their families, has been identified as 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, The Post can confirm

Maher argues the killing of Christians in Nigeria is 'so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza' ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher said the killing of Christians in Nigeria by Islamist groups is being ignored because ‘the Jews aren't involved.'See the video.

Republicans are turning the heat back up on the Trump administration for its handling of the Epstein files. Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie torched FBI Director Kash Patel over the weekend after he caught the bureau chief off guard on information that Patel should have already been privy to. “I told Director Kash Patel that the FBI has names of 20 men to whom Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women and girls,” Massie wrote on X. “This basic fact seemed to surprise him. Why? “Is the FBI withholding those names to protect the President’s rich and powerful friends?” Massie continued, before demanding that...

This is too hilarious to be true. But apparently it is, and it couldn't be more entertaining, wondering how it's going to play out. You know, the part where indulged, hedonistic, virtue-signaling, bubble-wrapped Westerners run straight into that ugly brick wall known as 'third world cultures' on their territory, not in the safe laboratory of a London or San Francisco street protest. Their first big mistake of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), a multinational convoy of several dozen vessels seeking to breach Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza, was picking St Scowly Pants to lead the repeated watery charge into Gaza....

The U.S. Secret Service said Tuesday that it "dismantled a network of electronic devices located throughout the New York tristate area that were used to conduct multiple telecommunications-related threats directed towards senior U.S. government officials." The devices were concentrated within 35 miles of the ongoing United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York City, it added. "This protective intelligence investigation led to the discovery of more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites," the Secret Service said in a statement. "In addition to carrying out anonymous telephonic threats, these devices could be used to conduct...

@RedPillMediaX ISRAEL IS NOT OUR ALLY. Mat Gaetz, former US Representative.

On September 17, 2025 the Gateway Pundit reported on President Trump on Wednesday evening announcing the designation of Antifa as a “major terrorist organization.” I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter! The ADL is now in hot water too after President Trump designated Antifa a “major terrorist organization.” The ADL has been...

Israel’s “War Hero” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again put to rest the conspiracy theory that Israel assassinated Charlie Kirk. Netanyahu began his official announcement of innocence Wednesday night by invoking the Nazis – an 80-year-old German political party that murdered millions of Jews, but has been out of power since 1945. Following this, the war hero confirmed that the Jewish state is not guilty of the September 10 assassination. “The Nazi propaganda minister said that ‘the bigger the lie, the faster it will spread’,” Netanyahu said. “Well somebody has fabricated a monstrous big lie – that Israel had...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined the chorus of hard-right influencers posting their past text messages from Charlie Kirk as the MAGA world debates Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson’s claim that Kirk had turned against Israel. Owens has gone on to wildly claim Kirk was feeling “blackmailed” by Israel ahead of his death despite Kirk being one of the most vocal pro-Israel voices on the right. Greene added her voice to the firestorm on Wednesday with a post that included a screenshot of a text message from Kirk, asking her if she would like to take part in a debate...
