President Donald Trump is now throwing his support behind both of the remaining Republicans in the South Carolina governor’s race as he seeks to avoid the possibility of another primary setback this month. Trump had endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette in late May, less than two weeks before the initial South Carolina primary. But in a Truth Social post Friday, Trump said he is also backing Attorney General Alan Wilson in Tuesday’s GOP runoff, saying the two rivals are “MAGA and America First all the way!” “I can’t hurt one of them by only Endorsing the other, so, therefore, I...

Nigel Farage says he is disappointed with Reform UK's performance in the Makerfield by-election, as he blamed his party's defeat on a desire among voters to eject Sir Keir Starmer from Downing Street. The Reform leader claimed frustration with the embattled prime minister had driven Andy Burnham's "emphatic" Labour victory over his party's candidate, Rob Kenyon, who finished more than 9,000 votes behind. He also conceded his party had also lost votes to right-wing rival Restore Britain, founded by ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe, which finished third in a breakthrough night for the fledgling party. He issued a plea for Restore...

According to recent studies, mandatory voter identification, as outlined in the SAVE Act, is extremely popular, with up to 84 percent of the American public in favor. A very small minority, mostly on the far-left, oppose voter I.D., but with that far-left side taking over the mainstream Democratic Party, including congressional Democrats and their mouthpieces in the liberal media, you’ll hear more unhinged rants against the SAVE Act, like the one from Wednesday’s episode of MS NOW’s The 11th Hour

The Trump administration has labeled the algae cleanup operation in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool a "regional and national priority" in an email to staff, urging them to work overtime to scrub the monument in time for July 4 celebrations, according to a report. President Donald Trump's $14 million pet project to resurface the 2,000-foot pool, which was supposed to make the water appear an "American flag blue," has turned green after becoming infested with algae just days after completion. National Park Service employees received an email, obtained by MeidasTouch, urging them to support "critical pre-July 4th operational needs" at...

Hunter Biden has asked Joe Rogan to oversee a 'cage match' between him and Donald Trump Jr. The disbarred former attorney made the request on X on Thursday, after making a similar pitch to YouTuber Andrew Callaghan back in April.

KanekoaTheGreat@KanekoaTheGreat·23hToday the European Parliament voted 418-218 to pass the strictest migration law in EU history.When the result was announced, MEPs started chanting."Send them back."Inside the parliament chamber. On the floor. In 2026.Here's what the law actually does:— Deportation orders now apply across all EU member states. You can't evade removal by crossing a border.— Detention before deportation extended from 6 months to 30 months. Unlimited for security threats.— "Return hubs" in third countries. Migrants can be transferred outside the EU while awaiting deportation — including families with children.— Automatic deportation stays while appeals are pending? Gone. Courts decide case by...

Some within the Democrat Party are reportedly worried investigations into California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) may hurt his possible run for the presidency in 2028.The concerns center on the fact that Newsom’s image could become marred even before he chooses to enter the race, allowing Republicans to use allegations and news of the investigations against him, the Hill reported Thursday.“There’s not one candidate who wants to enter what will inevitably be a brutal primary campaign cycle with that chain around their necks,” a Democrat strategist told the outlet.

On Wednesday via X, Donald Trump Jr. alleged that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) — an ally of President Donald Trump — is “lying thru his teeth” with his recent comments on the administration’s memorandum of understanding with Iran. Speaking with The Daily Wire on Wednesday, Cruz said of the deal to end the conflict in the region: What has been released so far suggests that, unfortunately, the president is getting, I think, very poor advice when it comes to this deal. History teaches that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is a bad idea....

The United States on Wednesday released the official text of the memorandum of understanding reached over the weekend with Iran.

Titled the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the document was released after outcry that its text hadn’t been released publicly. “This is fundamentally an agreement that allows us to open...

Jefferson County Probate Judge Yashiba G. Blanchard was suspended on May 21, the same day the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission filed formal charges against her with the Court of the Judiciary.

One of the allegations involves Blanchard’s handling of involuntary commitment and guardianship cases. The complaint claims she routinely delayed or canceled probable cause hearings, creating a massive backlog. In one case, hospital staff repeatedly contacted her office begging for a hearing so a patient could be discharged...
