Beware: The Chinese Communist Party is plainly exploiting the opaque ownership structure of multinational tech companies to fund far-left political subversion across America. Shanghai-based Maoist tech millionaire Neville Roy Singham is a notorious funder of outfits like the crypto-communist People’s Forum, which organizes radical protest-riots in support of Hamas terrorism and protecting the butchers who control Iran; his wife co-leads extremist Code Pink while his niece is a big player in the Democratic Socialists of America and a prominent adviser to Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The Singhams got crazy-rich in the tech industry, but you have to wonder if Beijing staged...

So Peg Lautenschlager wants to take over the Chai Vang case. We wish the Wisconsin attorney general good luck. She'll need it. We're inclined to agree with the cynics who think this is more about politics than prosecutorial discretion. After all, it's certainly no coincidence that Lautenschlager will be up for re-election in 2006. It's also important to note that Lautenschlager is trying to live down a DWI conviction. Adding insult to injury, she was in a state-owned vehicle earlier this year when she was pulled over and refused to submit to a sobriety test. Clearly, a victory in the...

Downstate Illinois Democratic state representative Carol Ammons is facing allegations she steered state grants to a family member and lied to the FBI, among other misdeeds. Paris Schutz reports.

A progressive protest group has been flying an 8647 flag on federal land near the National Mall, aimed squarely at the President of the United States. The National Park Service called it a true threat and moved to shut it down. An Obama-appointed federal judge just told the government to leave it alone. On June 29, 2026, U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss, appointed by Barack Obama, granted summary judgment to Accountability NOW USA and entered a permanent injunction against the Park Service and Interior officials. The order blocks the government from revoking the group’s demonstration permit or seizing and...

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he plans to help build a third political party, claiming the country’s leaders have stopped focusing on the needs of ordinary Americans. Speaking with the Columbia Journalism Review, Carlson said he believes there should be a “good-faith effort” to create a political movement centered on improving life for Americans rather than fighting over foreign conflicts. “I’m going to help build a third party. There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country,” Carlson said. “I mean, if you make $60,000 a year, you’re degraded. Your life expectancy has gone...

We have already seen that politicians will not give up the right to trade equity instruments while in office. How about requiring them to announce publicly any trades 24 hours before they make the trade. This would still let them trade in the market, but give others equal access to the information before they make the trade. They will still fight this as it would blunt their returns, but it takes away the argument that we are denying them access to equity markets.

Johnson has waded into politics in the past, most notably with his 2020 endorsement of Joe Biden. In an interview with Esquire magazine, A-list actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson eschewed Hollywood's trend toward political activism, saying he believes it has come to dominate public debate. The 54-year-old “Moana” star said he personally feels the need not to add to the political fray with his own views. "What I have learned through experience is that I need to keep—need, not want—the main thing the main thing," Johnson said. "And the main thing for me, the thing that in the morning I...

HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD: Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS. Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to...

Thirty years of shifting priorities and culture has wrecked police departments across the country. In 1995, as a Valley Traffic Division motorcycle enforcement officer in Van Nuys, I noticed something that bothered me about how the press covered the Los Angeles Police Department. The reporters were not lying, exactly. They were doing what reporters do: taking the department’s official statement, taking a critic’s statement, splitting the difference, and printing the result. The problem was that the department’s side of the story arrived at the newspaper through a small communications office, got compressed into two or three sentences, and then competed...

The U.S. Department of Justice has invoked the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Louisiana v. Callais to hammer California’s racially gerrymandered congressional map In a filing that sends a clear message to Sacramento Democrats, the U.S. Department of Justice has invoked the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Louisiana v. Callais to hammer California’s racially gerrymandered congressional map, telling Governor Gavin Newsom and his allies that race-based district-drawing is unconstitutional—full stop. On May 22, 2026, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jesus A. Osete and DOJ attorneys filed Plaintiff-Intervenor’s Opposition to Motions to Dismiss in the ongoing federal lawsuit David...

If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this...

Using new data from the Gallup Workforce Panel, we document a persistent partisan gap in self- reported AI use at work: Democrats are consistently more likely than Republicans to report frequent use. In 2025:Q4, for example, 27.8% of Democrats report using AI weekly or daily, compared with 22.5% of Republicans. Democrats also report deeper task-level integration, using AI in 16% more work activities than Republicans. Consistent with this, Democrats are employed in occupations with higher predicted AI exposure based on task-content measures and report larger perceived differences in AI-related job displacement risk. However, in regression models the partisan gap in...

So my burden is to join forces with the Bible (as I understand it), and millions of faithful Christians, to encourage and nurture a faithful Christian identity that will survive and thrive with faith and hope and joy and love and purity, whether America survives, or Brazil survives, or Britain survives, or China survives, or Russia survives, or India survives — or not. Jesus said to Pilate, “My kingdom is not of this world… From which I infer that we’d better be very, very careful before we undertake any processes that involve force or coercion to put the kingdom of...

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker had a "minor complication" from a recent procedure and was taken to a Springfield hospital earlier this week, a spokesperson for the governor confirmed to NBC Chicago Friday. The complication stemmed from an earlier urology procedure, with Pritzker going to a Springfield hospital overnight Wednesday and into Thursday morning.

The hosts of ABC’s daytime program The View tore into Billy Bob Thornton after the actor explained that he prefers not to discuss politics, claiming that remaining quiet amounts to complicity. Thornton, currently starring in the Paramount+ series Landman, made the remarks during an appearance on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast. He told Mandel that he intentionally avoids political commentary, citing comedian Ricky Gervais’s past warning to award show attendees to accept their trophies and move on. “I don’t know anything about politics,” Thornton said. “I have no idea. And the stuff that I do believe, I don’t want...

Hamilton School to roll out new degree in ‘war, statecraft, and strategy’ A classical-based school within the University of Florida recently graduated its first three students – and the pipeline is growing even larger. The Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education, first established in summer 2022 with a $3 million infusion from the Florida legislature, has continued to grow in the past four years. The school’s “Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law” major now has 146 enrolled students, according to Professor Brandon Warmke. The Hamilton School also offers a major in “Great Books and Ideas” and beginning this fall “will...

Forty-two percent of Israelis who voted for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party in the previous election are either considering or have decided to back a different party in the fall Knesset elections, according to a Channel 12 news poll broadcast Friday. The other 58% of Israelis who voted for Likud in the previous election said they will do the same at the ballot box, the survey said. The poll showed 10% of those who backed Likud in 2022 will support the Together slate former prime minister Naftali Bennett formed with Opposition Leader Yair Lapid; 6% will vote for former...
