President Trump announced he will be holding a press conference tomorrow to release a list of names of entities and people involved in government fraud and abuse. This comes one day after Elon Musk said DOGE was investigating how government workers mysteriously accrued millions of dollars. “We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position,” Elon Musk said on Tuesday....

President-elect Trump’s confirmation last month of his plan to deploy military assets for immigration enforcement sparked a constitutional debate. Legal scholars and commentators quickly declared such action forbidden by long-standing prohibitions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement. But this conventional wisdom misreads both the letter and spirit of American law. A careful examination of a pair of longstanding statutes reveals military support for immigration enforcement is permissible.The issue hinges on two 19th century laws: the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 and the Insurrection Act of 1807. When properly understood, both allow the President to use active-duty military forces to...

President Trump is, for all intents and purposes, already President of the United States again. Donald Trump is effectively running the country right now, and we're so much better off because of it. World leaders rightly recognize that Trump is in charge, and they're running down to Mar-a-Lago (the real White House) to make deals that protect our borders and people. https://t.co/ejEp96J3pN— James Fishback (@j_fishback) November 29, 2024Barring Biden handing over nuclear weapons to Ukraine--and yes, the administration has been discussing that possibility--the transition from one administration to the next has already happened in the eyes of the world. If...

Donald Trump is looking to revive the Keystone XL oil pipeline on his first day back in the White House, according to three people familiar with the president-elect’s plan, even though no companies are trying to build it anymore.Trump believes declaring the 1,200-mile Canada-to-Nebraska crude project back on the table would drive the pro-oil message he delivered in his campaign, said people involved in the transition team discussions about the idea. Trump also wants to show he can defy President Joe Biden, who reversed Trump’s initial 2017 approval of the project, which was strongly opposed by the climate movement.

Indian Country, just like the rest of America, has a choice to make in this election. One party wants to roll back excess regulation, shrink the administrative state, and promote personal agency and individual responsibility; the other side wants big government to dictate nearly every aspect of American life — from the car you can drive to how you can use your own land. In my view, as a member of the Cherokee Nation, our Native values of tribal sovereignty and self-determination are best aligned with President Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party. I have spent my entire life...

Actress and filmmaker Justine Bateman is applauding the return of President-elect Donald Trump to the White House as a liberating force for all those who value freedom of speech and expression. She said it feels like a cloud has been lifted with Trump’s runaway victory. “I feel good. I feel great, in fact,” Bateman told Fox News Digital in an interview. “I feel like there was this kind of suffocating cloud that was kind of over us… Regular people who had questions about decisions that were being made were threatened subtly or obviously into silence. And I feel like that’s...

The short-lived operation used military-style tactics to remove Mexican immigrants—some of them American citizens—from the United States. Though millions of Mexicans had legally entered the country through joint immigration programs in the first half of the 20th century, Operation Wetback was designed to send them back to Mexico.

Just a quarter of Americans think Joe Biden's presidency has been good for the country, according to a new poll - a signs that could be damning for his upcoming hopes for reelection. Donald Trump's presidency, by contrast, is viewed in a much more favorable light since he left office, even by those who voted against him. The poll by the left-leaning New York Times of 1,059 registered voters found perceptions of Trump's effect on the country became more positive over time.

The Georgia State Election Board admitted to violation of election law in the 2020 election. The State Election Board admitted to this in a recent letter to investigator Joseph Rossi. The Georgia Election Board says in their letter to Rossi, “The matter is in the violation found category.” ... Emerald Robinson at The Absolute Truth on Frank Speech reported late Friday that the long awaited report from an investigation (SEB2023-025) into errors found in both the hand count & a machine count from the 2020 presidential election in Fulton County is officially on the agenda for a May 7th State...

Have you ever heard of the old expression, “The left can’t meme?” Well, apparently TIME magazine is so broken with Trump Derangement Syndrome it can’t even figure out what a meme is. TIME railed against former President Donald Trump for posting on Truth Social what the leftist magazine described as a “new and bizarre campaign ad” of his “head tak[ing] the place of the moon and block[ing] out the sun in a nod to Monday’s solar eclipse.” Making it seem like the video was an actual campaign ad, the magazine continued: “It shows an image of the glowing sun as...

Attorney General Merrick Garland is in trouble. Not just with Republicans, but with Biden. While Republicans are unhappy that AG Garland had been going after Trump and other conservatives, Biden and other Democrats are unhappy at his ineffectiveness. A Politico report from last month cited White House insiders claiming that if Biden wins, Garland won’t get a second term because he didn’t do enough to insulate the Biden family from investigations and that he didn’t move the Trump investigation along fast enough. Biden’s people wanted a Trump trial before the election and Garland failed to give them one. In response...

The murder of NYC Officer Jonathan Diller has struck a chord with everyone. Here was a young dad and husband, bravely facing the tough streets of a city that lately seems to throw more shade at its cops than backing them up, while letting the bad guys take center stage. It’s like New York City has done a full 360 back to the rough and tumble ’80s when the crooks had the upper hand until Mayor Giuliani came along and got things back on track. Today’s officials are doing the opposite. They’re handing the keys of the city over to...

Donald Trump's social media platform Truth Social (DJT) surged more than 50% in its first day of trading on the Nasdaq Tuesday morning. Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, Truth Social's parent company, were trading above $75 under the ticker symbol "DJT," Trump's initials, just after the market open. The company merged with special purpose vehicle Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) in a deal approved by shareholders last week. Prior to the merger, DWAC had been on the public market since 2021. Trump founded Truth Social after he was kicked off major social media apps like Facebook and Twitter,...

Since Donald Trump’s rise within Republican ranks, conservatives have divided into two competing foreign policy camps. One contends that Trump’s approach suits the world in which we live and supersedes previous GOP national security and foreign affairs outlooks. A smaller contingent contends that Ronald Reagan’s understanding of America and his conduct of diplomacy remain the gold standard for U.S. foreign policy. Atlantic Council colleagues Matthew Kroenig (also a Georgetown professor of government and international relations) and Dan Negrea contend that considerably more agreement about foreign affairs prevails among conservatives than they themselves realize. When fleshed out, a Trump-Reagan fusion represents,...

More and more recording artists (rappers)are going negative on Biden, including 50 Cent, Meek Mill, and Ice Cube, and a surprising number of their peers are openly endorsing Trump as he campaigns for a second term in office.

Former President Donald Trump has opened up an 8 percentage-point lead over President Biden in the battleground state of Michigan, matching his largest margin in recent polling of the Mitten State. The CNN/SSRS survey published Friday showed the 45th president, 77, leading the 46th president, 81, by 50% to 42% among registered voters. The eight-point spread in favor of Trump matches a Detroit News poll of likely voters from early January that showed the former president leading Biden 47% to 39% among likely voters. In 2016, Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate in 28 years to win Michigan, before...

President Trump has a reputation for delivering on his promises, facing down every obstacle the Uniparty and the Deep State could muster, and always battling fiercely for the American people. However, there was one promise he didn’t quite fulfill: the release of the JFK assassination records. Snarky reporters at the Associated Press covered this story back in April 2018. AP: President Donald Trump boasted last fall that he would open all remaining John F. Kennedy assassination records. So far, Trump hasn’t made good on the “great transparency” he promised then. Trump announced on Thursday that the public must wait another...
