WINDHAM, Maine—Senate candidate Graham Platner (D.) urged his supporters to publicly harass members of Maine’s congressional delegation who oppose Medicare for All. “In the future, when we’re trying to vote on something like Medicare for All, if there are other members of the Maine delegation that don’t want to come along, we need to be able to impose costs,” he said during a Saturday town hall in the southern Maine town of Windham. “We need to be able to turn people out to flood their offices. Frankly, I want people to follow them around and don’t let them have a...

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said Saturday that he still believes President Donald Trump is a “fascist” and a “despot,” but he viewed their first face-to-face meeting at the White House on Friday as an “opportunity” to work together on lowering the cost of living for New Yorkers. After months of trading insults during the campaign, the two were friendly during the meeting, with the president telling reporters he’ll be “cheering” for Mamdani, and the mayor-elect calling the meeting “productive.” Following their meeting, Mamdani was asked by reporters if he stood by his decision to call Trump a “fascist”...

Billions of dollars in total in welfare fraud of every kind.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — Lawmakers critical of President Donald Trump’s approach to ending the Russia-Ukraine war said Saturday they spoke with Secretary of State Marco Rubio who told them that the peace plan Trump is pushing Kyiv to accept is a “wish list” of the Russians and not the actual proposal offering Washington’s positions.A State Department spokesperson denied their account, calling it “blatantly false."Rubio himself then took the extraordinary step of suggesting online that the senators were mistaken, even though they said he was their source for the information. The secretary of state doubled down on the assertion that...

Qatar has allegedly pumped more than $20 billion into American colleges and other top institutions as part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s decades-long plan to infiltrate the US and “destroy” democracy from within, a leading research institute warns — while adding that the nefarious funding could be staggeringly higher.

Gavin Rivers Weisenburg, 21, of Allen, and Tanner Christopher Thomas, 20, of Argyle, were indicted on charges of conspiracy to murder, maim or kidnap in a foreign country and production of child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Texas.

She is fighting for her life in critical condition.Mayor Brandon Johnson on Thursday called it an “isolated incident.”The “isolated incident” highlights everything that is wrong with progressive politics and Democrat leadership in all too many of our cities: let the criminals run free, forget about the victims, and vilify the police.But it only got worse for the Windy City Friday night, as the rampant violence and death the city has become...

Oh, I know: The audience wanted to see President Donald Trump take a blowtorch to Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani, holding him accountable for his Marxist rhetoric, welcoming him to the D.C. Big Leagues with some Trumpian chin music. It’s not your fault. Earlier Oval Office onslaughts whetted your appetite: “Trump’s tangle with Zelensky was pretty good. So [gets popcorn] this Mamdani mele oughta be a doozy. Beer me!” And now you’re disappointed — or maybe, deep in your heart, even a little embarrassed — by the total lack of Mamdanian mayhem. You were expecting World War III and received a bouquet...

An FBI employee blew the whistle on the unit that investigates counterespionage inside the bureau, accusing it of “gross misconduct, fraud and potentially criminal activities.” Members of the FBI Senior Executive Service have conspired at various times to ensure they are shielded from internal espionage or counterintelligence investigations, according to the whistleblower disclosure provided to the House Judiciary Committee. The FBI employee said the “executive exemption” from internal investigations was an unwritten policy and practice of the Internal Counterespionage Cell within the Global Operations Section, which is based at FBI headquarters in Washington. ----Excerpt--- The “executive exception” is not a...

Kitco News) – U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) introduced a bill on Wednesday which, if passed, will trigger the first comprehensive audit of America’s gold reserves in decades. The senate version of the Gold Reserve Transparency Act demands a full inventory, audit, and accounting of all transactions involving U.S. federal government gold. It also calls for a new process for refinement of the gold so that it meets global market standards – as the majority of U.S. gold currently does not. Representatives Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Addison McDowell, and Troy Nehls also recently introduced a similar bill in the House....

"The investigator’s now public report confirms that the...

When you’re discussin’ cussin’, many fancy it too much fussin’. I learned this years back when, after editorializing against it years ago, a reader responded that “we aren’t all Little Lord Fauntleroys.” (Why, that #$@&%*!) In truth, though, objections to vulgarity go beyond 19th-century fictional characters. Some observers warn that its acceptance is a sign of cultural decay. And none other than the Father of our Nation, George Washington, inveighed against it. It “is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation,” he wrote in 1776, “that every man of sense, and character, detests and despises it.”If that doesn’t...
