Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) is the party goober right now. He was part of a five-vote bloc that was against advancing the reconciliation package that cuts taxes, kicks illegals off Medicaid, and secures our border. He was willing to set fire to all of that, all of President Trump and the GOP’s top domestic action items over Ukraine war funding. I’m not kidding: He voted and then disappeared for the remainder of Wednesday night. In the end, the four other ‘no’ votes—Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Victoria Spartz (R-IN), Keith Self (R-TX), and Andrew Clyde (R-GA)–all fell in line with the...

A review of CIA activity surrounding the 2016 Trump-Russia collusion hoax paints a damning portrait of its upper echelon, who were obsessively involved in crafting the conclusion that candidate Donald Trump conspired with Russian assets to influence the election that year. On Thursday CIA Director John Ratcliffe released a new report, titled “Tradecraft Review of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment [ICA] on Russian Election Interference” and which examined the involvement of then-CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper in crafting the original report on Trump and Russia. Passages in Ratcliffe’s report describe...

The Founding Fathers who gathered in Philadelphia to adopt the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 picked a nice day to do their work. It was a Thursday, and the temperature at 6:00 a.m. was 68°F, going up to a warmish but still pleasant 76°F at 1:00 p.m., according to daily records kept by Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson. The planetary metabolism at the time was set more for such balmy days than it was for the increasingly suffocating summers we experience in the 21st century. It was in 1867 that scientists would first define the epoch that includes the late...

The juxtaposition has never been more apparent. Here we have a solid majority of the country doing what we’ve always done as a republic: commemorate the passage of the Declaration of Independence with baseball, barbecues, and beer, capped off with an awesome fireworks display near you. But for whatever reason, the lunatics running the “No Kings” protests have a better idea by rejecting America’s greatness and resisting Trump in the name of “saving democracy” while denouncing the nation as horrible, racist, transphobic, and xenophobic. It is Zohran Mandani, who moved here from Uganda just a few years ago, who told...

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Rosie O’Donnell, the self-proclaimed “actor” and “activist,” revealed Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s first term drove her into depression, overeating and drinking too much. She made this confession during a Tuesday interview on The Chris Cuomo Project podcast, while explaining why she fled to Ireland after Trump’s 2024 landslide win. “I wasn’t one of those people who said, ‘If he gets elected, I’m going to move.’ I knew that I would never move because I’m very much a homebody and I like to be near my kids … but I really felt this was self-preservation for...

Two nationals of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) made their initial appearances in federal court in Portland, Oregon, and Houston, Texas, yesterday to face charges issued out of the Northern District of California for acting as agents of the Government of the PRC without prior notification to the Attorney General. The defendants, Yuance Chen, 38, a PRC national and legal permanent resident who resides in Happy Valley, Oregon, and Liren “Ryan” Lai, 39, a PRC national who traveled from the PRC to Houston, Texas, on a tourist visa in April 2025, were arrested Friday on a criminal complaint charging...

America stands at a crossroads. On one side, there’s Project 2025—a blueprint that threatens the foundations of our democracy, dismantles our institutions, and leaves everyday people behind. On the other, there’s an opportunity: a chance to rebuild trust, protect our future, and deliver a government that works for all of us, not just a few. Introducing Project 2029 Youth Save Democracy is stepping up to fill the void. We’re not just reacting—we’re leading. Project 2029 is our call to action: a plan to safeguard democracy, strengthen our institutions, and tackle the issues that keep young people—and all Americans—up at night....

Today, the Department of Justice announced the filing of a complaint against the U.S. District Court of Maryland for implementing a “Standing Order” that automatic injunctions be issued for federal immigration enforcement actions. This order requires the court clerk to automatically enter an injunction against removing or challenging the legal status of any alien detained in Maryland who files a habeas petition. In doing so, the District Court defies procedural and substantive requirements for issuing preliminary injunctions, flouts congressional intent, and violates Supreme Court precedent.“President Trump’s executive authority has been undermined since the first hours of his presidency by an...

I want to compile a list of all the ways democrats and the left have violated constitutional norms--including and especially unwritten norms--since Bill Clinton became president. Would also be interested in any ways you all think republicans and the right may have done the same. Example--Biden's DOJ put two of Trump's top advisors--Navarro and Bannon--in jail, violating an unwritten rule that you didn't jail people over political differences. Go.

A Missouri pharmacist suspects the Biden autopen signature is bigger than already reported. On February 20, 2021 a Missouri pharmacist reached out to The Gateway Pundit and shared his observations on Biden’s signature to date. (This was only a few weeks after Biden stepped into the White House and no doubt one of the first observations on Joe Biden’s signature on official documents.) This pharmacist noted: I am a pharmacist in Missouri. I read a few days ago that none of Biden’s Executive Orders have been posted to the Federal Register, so I looked, then, a few days ago. Those...

Idaho student murders suspect Bryan Kohberger has accepted a plea deal to spare his life in the murders of four University of Idaho students, two sources close to the case told Fox News Digital Monday. Kohberger, 30, is accused of killing Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, in a 4 a.m. home invasion attack on Nov. 13, 2022. Goncalves' family, in a Facebook page her parents created after the murders, condemned the deal, which spares Kohberger's life. "We are beyond furious at the State of Idaho," a new post reads. "They have failed...

Today, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles, California, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and the Los Angeles City Council over policies that Los Angeles enacted shortly after President Donald J. Trump’s reelection to interfere with the federal government’s enforcement of its immigration laws.Not only are Los Angeles’s “sanctuary city” policies illegal under federal law, but, as alleged in the complaint, Los Angeles’s refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities contributed to the recent lawlessness, rioting, looting, and vandalism that was so severe that it required the federal government to deploy the California National...

This harrowing incident on May 21, 1946, remains one of the most infamous accidents in the history of nuclear research, a fatal moment of human error and hubris known as the "demon core" incident.

Elected representatives and senators in the U.S. Congress receive substantial pension benefits for life. Congressional retirement pay is not typically a big election-year issue, but it might serve as evidence of a disconnect between lawmakers and the mainstream United States. SNIP Congressional members are eligible for their own unique pension plans under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), though there are other retirement options available, ranging from Social Security to the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS).3 Members of Congress are eligible for a pension dependent on the member’s age at retirement, length of service, and salary.4 The pension value can...
