Are we about to see Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sitting across from each other at a negotiating table in Turkey? It looks like that could actually happen this week. If both leaders really do show up, there will be peace negotiations in Turkey starting on Thursday. But will these negotiations lead to peace, or will they lead to World War 3? Western leaders were threatening to hit Russia with a new round of very harsh sanctions if the Russians did not agree to a 30 day ceasefire beginning on March 12th. In response, Russian President...

A core group of top US officials — including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State and interim national security adviser Marco Rubio, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles — had been closely monitoring the escalating conflict between India and Pakistan when on Friday morning, the US received alarming intelligence, Trump administration officials told CNN. While they declined to describe the nature of the information, citing its sensitivity, they said it was critical in persuading the three officials that the US should increase its involvement. Vance himself would call Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The vice president briefed...

Not a day seems to go by without some activist lower court judge issuing an overreaching injunction blocking part of President Trump’s agenda. Throughout Wednesday and Thursday alone, judges across multiple venues handed down decrees barring numerous executive actions taken by the president since returning to office. From DEI to election policy, these cases are but a few of the more than 170 lawsuits Democrats and left-wing political actors have filed to sabotage Trump and the 77 million Americans who voted for him.Despite this clear effort to destroy American democracy via a judicial coup, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) seems...

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is under fire after retweeting a video of FBI official Stanley Meador, a man still employed by the bureau despite being at the center of a scandal involving the profiling of traditionalist Catholics as potential domestic extremists and potential white supremacist recruits. Stanley Meador is the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, who oversaw the creation of a controversial internal FBI memorandum that labeled certain “radical-traditionalist Catholics” as potential domestic terrorism threats. The video, originally posted by the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, shows Meador addressing the “764” group, a violent...

“Tariffs are advertised in the name of helping American workers, but what do you know? They turn out to favor the powerful and politically connected. That’s the main message of President Trump’s decision to exempt smartphones and assorted electronic goods from his most onerous tariffs. “All of this exposes the arbitrary political nature of tariffs. Some industries benefit but others don’t. Too bad if you make shoes, or clothing, or thousands of other consumer products that must pay the tariffs but lack the political or market clout to win exemptions. Too bad, too, if you’re a small manufacturer that relies...

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President Trump’s former National Security Advisor and a central figure in the Obama-era Crossfire Hurricane scandal, is once again turning up the heat on key players in the conservative movement, publicly demanding answers from Trump allies Pam Bondi and Kash Patel about long-promised justice. In a post on X Thursday, Flynn shared a clip from his must-watch documentary movie FLYNN—Deliver the Truth, Whatever the Cost, calling on the American public to watch the film and understand the depth of corruption he endured at the hands of a “rigged system.” “Newly declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents reveal...

A protester at the anti-Trump/anti-Musk rally holds a sign reading, “Somebody just do it already.”

They will be.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has announced the launch of a rogue “shadow government” dubbed the People’s Cabinet — a brazen attempt to sabotage President Donald Trump’s America First agenda. The announcement comes on the heels of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s shocking call for a “shadow government” during a recent town hall in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he openly advocated for what he called “alternate press conferences” to spin the public with Democrat-approved talking points. Now, DNC Chair Ken Martin is taking that vision a step further, turning it into an official operation.

– “The brave nations and the proud youth” of the region are labeled as “proxy” forces by western officials, “whereas the Israeli regime is the only proxy force in the region, which works on behalf of colonialist forces to violate the territories and sovereignties of countries.” – “The Zionist regime, as a proxy of the colonizers, incites fire, commits genocide, and perpetrates crimes, and if it gets the chance, it violates [the territories of] other countries, just as it is violating Syria’s today.” – “If others defend their rights or their land, they are labeled ‘terrorists;’ yet, [it is] the...

Remember the movie "City Slickers"? Billy Crystal asked for the secret to life. Jack Palance said, "One thing." President Donald Trump is the G.O.A.T. (the greatest of all time). His first two months have been a work of art. My fans love him. But one thing is missing. One thing that matters above all else: WHERE ARE THE ARRESTS? Because I host national TV and radio shows and a daily video podcast, I am blessed to receive thousands of emails from my fans. I am honored. I read every one of them. That is what gives me my edge. I...

AG Bondi announces there is now a DOJ task force investigating and prosecuting anyone involved in fraud that DOGE uncovers

Martial law is the temporary replacement of civilian government by military rule, often enacted during emergencies or crises when civilian authorities are deemed unable to function, leading to a suspension of civil liberties and the application of military law.All three branches of the federal government have now been effectively "gagged" and rendered dysfunctional by the Democrat Party. Resulting in an Executive which is being hobbled by an out-of-control JUDICIARY. Inaction now will lead to rapid descent and dissolution of the U.S. as a nation governed by constitutional law. (1) The Democrats, along with other nefarious actors, have effectively poisoned the...

As a nation, we have literally been in the process of committing financial suicide for decades. Sadly, some people have responded to the new administration’s efforts to get debt levels under control by committing acts of extreme violence. Our society is deeply addicted to debt and that must stop. The 7 economic charts that you are about to see are incredibly shocking. If you know anyone that still does not believe that the United States is in the midst of a long-term economic decline, just show them these charts. Sometimes you can quote economic statistics to people until you are...
