Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch and longtime Never-Trumper, suggested that the Democrats could send the military to confiscate firearms from law-abiding Americans. Goldberg framed his comments during a panel discussion on violent crime in major Democrat-run cities, comparing it to Donald Trump’s efforts to use federal resources to restore order in places like Chicago. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order last month, titled the “Protecting Chicago Initiative,” aimed at preventing the potential deployment of the National Guard by President Donald Trump to address the city’s rampant crime issues. Johnson, a far-left Democrat, claims the order is necessary...

Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) sent a letter to President Donald Trump Thursday urging him to award Patrick J. Buchanan the Presidential Medal of Freedom, The American Conservative has learned. “Honoring Patrick J. Buchanan with the Presidential Medal of Freedom would recognize his role as one of the truest patriots of the past century,” Moore told TAC in an exclusive statement. “His unrelenting focus on the forgotten men and women of America paved the way for President Trump’s America First Movement. He was right about pretty much everything 20 years before most people realized it and should be honored for defending...

On 7 July, settlers attacked the mostly Christian town of Taybeh. There they attacked houses and set fire to cars and the Church of St George, which dates back to the 5th century. The church’s cemetery was also damaged in the attack. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank has been on the rise since the Hamas attack on...

This election confirms what we already know—American universities have become Marxist indoctrination centers. The low income people in New York City voted en masse AGAINST the guy who promised to create government-run grocery stores and “freeze” the rent. This should tell you EVERYTHING. American universities have systematically destroyed the minds of Americans.

The #NeverTrump movement just got another backer. Conservative radio host Mark Levin threatened on Friday that he will not support Donald Trump in the general election, should he be the nominee. Levin, a strong supporter of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, said that Trump’s allies had made the billionaire Republican front-runner toxic. …“If they piss me off one more time, I’m going to urge millions and millions of you, should he get the nomination, not to vote for him either,” he said.

@RealCandaceO “A full payload of bombs was dropped” followed by “now is the time for peace”. Utterly deranged. If we had raised the 100 million Adelson gave him on Go Fund Me, maybe he would have kept his promises. Guess we’ll never know.

The U.S. Army is giving its soldiers a high-tech edge in the fight against drones, and it’s called SMASH. During a live-fire training exercise on June 6 in Germany, a soldier with the 3rd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment used the SMASH 2000L smart scope mounted on an M4A1 rifle to target drones in the sky. The SMASH 2000L, made by Israeli company Smart Shooter Ltd., is no ordinary sight. It uses cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence to track targets and decides the perfect time to fire, according to reporting from Army Recognition. Once a drone is locked in, the system...

Alejandro Mayorkas, once celebrated as the first Latino and immigrant to lead Homeland Security, now stands as one of the most controversial figures in modern American politics. Under his watch, the southern border descended into chaos. Millions of illegal border crossings. Missing migrant children. Fentanyl flooding in. And repeated accusations of perjury before Congress. So why was he never held accountable? In this episode, we uncover the shocking truth about Mayorkas, his role in dismantling border security, and why the Senate refused to act—even after he was impeached. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th...

Fox News host Mark Levin is NOT pleased with President Donald Trump’s current diplomatic tour of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which, given his history of reflexive pro-Trump rhetoric, is notable. Trump spoke to the Saudi Royal family and other very important global business leaders during a remarkably convivial economic investment confab on Tuesday that ended on the same note as most of his political rallies: with The Village People blaring the gay disco anthem YMCA. Trump later flew to Doha, Qatar, for more meetings aimed at securing Middle Eastern investment in the American economy, despite serious concerns about human rights...

Ukraine’s chief rabbi warned of a new “axis of evil” developing between Russia and Iran... Moshe Reuven Azman — who lost a son in the Ukraine war and whose daughter serves in the Israel Defense Forces — came to Washington on his own dime this week to plead with lawmakers and government officials to continue supporting Ukraine and Israel. “Israel and Ukraine, they have the same enemies — an ‘axis of evil,’ I call it, that looks like World War II,” Azman told The Post on Thursday. “I am an eyewitness myself: I lost my son one year ago when...

According to Axios, Trump met with Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer in private on Thursday to discuss upcoming nuclear talks with Iran and Israel’s Gaza campaign.

Displaying her faithfulness, Greene likened Trump to Jesus Christ during the president's high-profile legal battles last year. *** On Friday, she issued a scathing statement putting distance in between her and the commander-in-chief. 'I represent the base and when I'm frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,' Greene, wrote on X alongside a...

New York Magazine’s Ben Terris saved the most important part of his extensive profile of Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman for last: “I didn’t find any indication that the stroke had left him cognitively impaired,” he wrote in its concluding paragraphs. That is not the impression that a reader would have gathered from the worried former Fetterman staffers, jilted progressive activists, and anecdotes detailing the senator’s declining mental health that preceded this observation. The piece paints a portrait of a broken man, a shadow of his former self, plagued by depression and demented episodes. None of that was especially apparent to...

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) paid homage to the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and introduced “the ‘assault weapons’ ban of 2025” Wednesday morning. In an X post, Schiff explained that his legislation would “ban the sale, manufacture, import, and transfer of military-style ‘assault weapons.'” He claimed there have been “486 mass shootings involving ‘assault weapons'” since 2006, but did not provide any sources to substantiate the figures. He did reference Feinstein’s introduction of the first “assault weapons” ban over three decades ago, then claimed her ban “had a dramatic impact on mass shootings” during the ten years in which it...

The ruling marks the latest chapter in a long-standing dispute between Russia and the Orthodox Russian Cultural Association (ACOR) of Nice, which has maintained these sites for nearly a century.
