The Trump administration’s cancellation of the largest solar project in the United States has sparked confusion and concern among Republicans and Democrats alike. Known as the Esmerelda 7, the collection of seven solar projects in rural Nevada was set to generate up to 6.2 gigawatts of energy when complete, enough to power 2 million homes. That’s an eye-popping amount of power to add to an electrical grid that desperately needs more of it, due to the insatiable demand from AI-related data centers and increasing residential needs. Under former President Joe Biden, the federal government was moving the sprawling project through...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is asking nine major universities to commit to President Donald Trump’s political priorities in exchange for more favorable access to federal money.Universities were asked to sign a “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” committing them to adopt the White House’s vision for America’s campuses. It asks the schools to accept the government’s priorities on admissions, women’s sports, free speech, student discipline and college affordability, among other topics.Signing on would give universities priority access to some federal grants, but government money would not be limited solely to those schools, according to a White House...

“Who’s The Boss?” star Alyssa Milano revealed Thursday she went under the knife to remove her breast implants to rid herself of her “abused” body. Milano shared a hospital gown selfie on Instagram. “Today I’m releasing those false narratives, the parts of me that were never actually parts of me,” she wrote in her lengthy caption. The 80s star continued, “I’m letting go of the body that was sexualized, that was abused, that I believed was necessary for me to be attractive; to be loved; to be successful; to be happy.”

After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form. With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option. Why not? Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than...

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...

Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended indefinitely by ABC last week. Executives yanked the program off the air on September 17. Three days later, a local ABC station was fired upon. You’re not going to hear about it, especially after the suspect has been identified. His name is Anibal Hernandez Santana. So, not a white guy. The kicker is he’s also vehemently anti-Trump. A Sacramento man was freed on bail after allegedly shooting into ABC10’s lobby — only to be quickly picked up by the FBI, according to authorities. The FBI took Anibal Hernandez Santana, 64, into custody Saturday on charges...

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from.” “And in between the finger pointing there was grieving. On Friday the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism, but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this.” ~~ video clip of President Trump ~~ “Gotcha. He’s at the fourth stage of grief, construction [audience laughs, applauds]...demolition...construction.” [at the White...

"The point is, Blank said on national television – yes, the game was broadcast on NFL Network, which picked up the Falcons' feed – that democracy in the United States is under pressure despite the fact he's a democrat and endorsed Kamala Harris."

Donald Trump announced that he had ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines towards Russia in response to threats from the country’s former president. The US president said he was sending the vessels to “appropriate regions” in a move that broke decades of Pentagon secrecy around high-level deployments. It comes after Mr Trump was engaged in a war of words with Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president and the deputy chairman of the country’s security council.

We are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight.” – Paul Krugman, November 2016“Joe Biden will eventually preside over a soaring, ‘morning in America’-type recovery.” – Paul Krugman, November 2020.“Slower growth is certain. For 2025, I see little or no GDP growth, rising unemployment, and persistent inflation.” – Paul Krugmann, May 2025If you want an accurate gauge of future economic conditions, look no further than Paul “Nobel-Prize-Winning-Economist” Krugman. He has a solid record of being exactly wrong, as the above quotations show. So, the fact that he is now predicting stagflation should give everyone a...

At a White House event marking the National Day of Prayer, President Donald Trump stood flanked by religious leaders of every stripe—Christian pastors, Jewish rabbis, Hindu swamis, Buddhist monks, and Muslim imams. But in typical Trump fashion, what began as a carefully choreographed moment of spiritual unity soon veered into campaign trail chaos, as he launched into an unscripted anecdote involving imams, death, and what he mistakenly called “38 virgins.” “I love them. They were great,” Trump said, recalling a meeting with Muslim leaders in Michigan during the 2024 campaign. “They said, ‘We don’t want to die.’ I said, ‘You...

The White House slammed Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy as a "moron" on social media after the Connecticut lawmaker posted an expletive-riddled admonishment against a Lara Trump parody account he seemingly believed belonged to the president's daughter-in-law. "You are a moron, Chris. It is obvious this page is not affiliated with President Trump, his family, or the administration. We do, however, support your right to make such a statement, no matter how imbecilic it makes you look," the White House's X account, Rapid Response 47, said in a message posted on Friday. The rapid response account is a new White House...

CARBONDALE, Ill. (KFVS) - Carbondale City Council Member Clare Killman posted a video on Facebook calling for the state of Illinois to secede from the rest of the nation. It’s a move that local experts say is next to impossible. Kenneth Mulligan is a Political Science Professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. He says political moves like this are why President Elect-Donald Trump won the election in November.

Romania’s Constitutional Court summarily invalidated the first-round results of its presidential election because the anti-globalist candidate, Calin Georgescu, unexpectedly won (while the globalist, Brussels-aligned, polling favorite was ignominiously booted from the race). The high court’s official justification for defying the will of the Romanian people? It insisted that too much “Russian disinformation” on TikTok had unfairly manipulated the minds of voters. Wherever would the Romanian Establishment have learned that dirty trick? Probably by watching its NATO partners repeatedly do the same thing. Wherever and whenever the entrenched “ruling class” in the West has suffered electoral defeat over the last decade,...

Kamala Harris was caught in an embarrassing Election Day gaffe after flipping her smartphone around to the cameras while claiming to be 'on the phone with a voter' - only to reveal she wasn't on a call at all. 'Have you voted already?' a beaming Harris said into the phone. Then she paused as though listening, before exclaiming: 'You did, thank you!' The vice president then turned her phone screen around to adoring supporters at the Democrat party's Washington, DC headquarters, who applauded and cheered. But viewers at home were lightening quick to point out that her phone appeared to...

A video captured Vice President Kamala Harris looking vacantly out of one of the administration’s helicopter windows, yawning and appearing dishevelle with just days to go until the election. The video, shared by the Trump War Room X account, shows Harris staring off into space as an aide converses with her while she works her phone. Trump’s campaign said Harris appeared to be s “cracking” after just three months of being installed as the Democratic Party’s nominee, “Kamala is exhausted — cracking under the rigors of a presidential campaign after being installed as a nominee who didn’t earn a single...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Tuesday on “Deadline” that the immigration policies of former President Donald Trump are “un-American” and echo the Holocaust. Network contributor Charlie Sykes said, “The issue of mass deportation, and he keeps talking about it, and there are polls that Americans want to do that, but I’m not sure that we’ve come to grips with what it means to take millions of people, put them in trains on buses and arrest them and round them up, use military, use police, separate parents from children. It would be one of the greatest humanitarian disasters of our time.”
