The text of the order acknowledges the essential role that truck drivers play in the U.S. economy and the livelihood of American people. “Every day, truckers perform the demanding and dangerous work of transporting the Nation’s goods to businesses, customers, and communities safely, reliably, and efficiently,” the order said. Trump designated English as the country’s official language in an executive order in March. In his order Monday, the president said proficiency in English should be nonnegotiable for professional drivers....

Judge Shelley Joseph, who now serves as a Boston Municipal Court judge, faces removal from the bench when she appears in Suffolk County Superior Court on June 9 for a public hearing into the April 2018 incident, the Boston Herald reports. She has been accused of allowing Jose Medina-Perez, an illegal immigrant originally from the Dominican Republic, walk out a back door of the Newton District Courthouse to avoid getting arrested by...

Congressional Democrats said on April 29 that the Trump administration has blocked about $430 billion in federal funding and that they are chronicling how it is stopping the flow of funds.Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), the top Democrats on the Senate and House appropriations committees, released a tracker on April 29 to “shine a light on President Trump’s vast, illegal funding freeze and how it is hurting people in every zip code in America.”“Instead of investing in the American people, President Trump is ignoring our laws and ripping resources away,” said Murray and DeLauro. They said...

If we’re serious about saving America, we need a leader who’s willing to be hated by the pundits, pollsters, and even some short-term-minded Americans to do what’s right.The country has been suffering for decades economically, culturally and politically — and the propaganda press wants you to care about approval ratings. As President Donald Trump marks his first 100 days in office, headlines scream about “record-low” poll numbers. But here’s the thing: polls don’t fix nations — leaders do. The same media that tried to convince us seven months ago that then-Vice President Kamala Harris had a legitimate chance to take...

Human Events Daily host and senior editor Jack Posobiec confronted Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) during a Democrat union workers rally on Wednesday. "Jamie, why did you lose the popular vote? Why did you lose every single swing state?" Posobiec shouted, refering to the Democrats' performance in the 2024 election. The crowd, lead by the senator, began to chant USA before the an unruly mob assaulted and cursed at him, knocking his phone to the ground.

Which is more plausible: the lying media has suddenly discovered accurate polling data? Or Trump supporters are not being polled?The left is having a dickens of a time trying to take down President Donald Trump. Activist judges have not deterred him. Unfocused protests have not slowed him down. And now the left is recycling its highly unsuccessful psyop, bad polling, as it tries to convince supporters that finally — this time they are almost certain — Trump is losing the confidence of average Americans.Just look at the polls, they beg. The media has learned nothing in its many years of...

President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has made it clear that having U.S.-born children does not grant undocumented immigrants automatic immunity from deportation. In a recent statement, Homan emphasized that while the presence of citizen children may be considered during immigration proceedings, it does not override violations of immigration law. During an interview on CBS News’ Face the Nation, Tom Homan reiterated that having a U.S. citizen child does not make undocumented immigrants "immune from our laws." “Having a U.S. citizen child after you enter this country illegally is not a get-out-of-jail-free card,” he said. “American families get separated...

This week, two judges lifted their robes to show a little ankle and in so doing revealed themselves to be completely indifferent to the laws they swore to uphold. Now they face federal prosecution. But like Murphy, the left has laws too, and those internecine rules must be observed and respected. Their rule book says federal charges are merely the beginning of what should happen to the two accused black-robed leftist criminals. It’s not as if we have a choice, do we? Leftists judges can’t paint outside the lines and help criminal illegal aliens without some blowback. So, with the...

Rep. Abe Hamadeh and Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) have introduced an election integrity bill in the House of Representatives to prohibit ranked choice voting in federal elections. Hamadeh’s Preventing Ranked Choice Corruption Act seeks to amend the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) to end “the confusing and disenfranchising voting scheme of Ranked Choice Voting,” a press release from Hamadeh’s office states. The undemocratic scam of Ranked Choice Voting goes against the principle of “one person, one vote,” allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference and triggering an automatic runoff election based on the ranked totals if a candidate...

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Tuesday teased that the Trump administration has reached its first trade deal, but said it was not fully finalized and declined to name the country involved. “I have a deal done, done, done, done, but I need to wait for their prime minister and their parliament to give its approval, which I expect shortly,” Lutnick told CNBC’s Brian Sullivan. The stock market rose to its highs of the session following the comments, as Wall Street is watching closely for signs of progress in trade negotiations. Lutnick did say that he was not dealing directly with...

Newly unearthed court documents reveal that the ex-husband of a “U.S. citizen,” now married to a deported illegal immigrant linked to the notorious MS-13 gang, warned in 2018 that his children’s lives were at risk. Yet despite mounting evidence tying Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the brutal criminal network, Democrat lawmakers continue to fight for his return to the United States. According to a 2018 emergency custody petition first obtained by Fox 45 News, filed by Edwin Trejo Ramos in Prince George’s County Circuit Court, outlined disturbing allegations, including concerns over Jennifer Vasquez Sura’s unstable behavior, a suicide attempt, and her...

Ambitious Democrats are increasingly jumping into a universe of podcasts and internet shows they once shunned: right-leaning ones geared toward men. Why it matters: President Trump won the majority of male voters last November — and made huge gains among those under 30, a group Joe Biden had won in 2020. Now Democrats are scrambling to counter Trump's version of masculine appeal. ...

WASHINGTON — President Trump signed executive orders Monday evening, kicking off a crackdown on sanctuary jurisdictions such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and all of New York — after previously calling for their federal funding to be cut. One order the 78-year-old inked behind closed doors in the Oval Office gives Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem 30 days to draw up a list of cities and states that “obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws.” “Immediately following each publication… the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall notify each sanctuary jurisdiction regarding its defiance...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that President Donald Trump’s poll numbers are going to get worse. During an appearance on Fox News, political analyst Karl Rove said, “When it comes to the economy, this is where it’s a little trickier, and this is where his numbers have gone south.” Carville said, “So I watch Karl, and he’s exactly right. When you’ve seen a lot of polls like Karl has in his career or I’ve seen or it’s worse than you think when you look at, you know, sometimes you look at a poll and you...

The US lost an F-18E Super Hornet jet fighter on April 28th when the aircraft, under tow in the hangar deck of the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), fell into the sea, along with the tractor that towed it. There was only one minor injury to a crew member who apparently was injured when jumping from either the tractor or the F-18. The aircraft and the tractor were lost at sea. A critical question is whether this was simply an accident or if the cause of the aircraft and tractor loss was due to an attack launched by the...
