Guest post by Joe Kovacs ‘Before the tents, squalor, filth, and Crime, it was the most beautiful Capital in the World. It will soon be that again.’ Saying the American public “is not going to put up with it any longer,” President Donald Trump is now providing some details about cleaning up the nation’s capital city of Washington, D.C. On Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said a news conference is slated for 10 a.m. Monday in the White House Press Briefing Room to address the matter. “I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was...

Toronto’s oldest gay bookstore kicked off Pride Month by hosting drag queens who romanticized Hamas. This is mental illness on full display. pic.twitter.com/dIBYOqtLfO — Eyal Yakoby (@EYakoby) August 8, 2025.https://twitter.com/EYakoby/status/1953646714067304570 Toronto’s oldest gay bookstore kicked off Pride Month by hosting drag queens who romanticized Hamas.

Britain’s Labour government is in trouble: Its program of massive third-world immigration from places like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly, overwhelmingly unpopular. But that’s not the real problem. The real problem is that despite the best efforts of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his leftist captive media, Britons themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is. You might think that’s absurd — if mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it? Everyone doesn’t know it because the government has been policing speech about immigration. Any criticism of open borders, lax enforcement or — worst of all — immigrant...

Sen. Dick Durbin’s vote in November 2024 against arms sales to Israel was an ominous sign for the Jewish state’s supporters in America. Durbin had always been reasonable on the issue and never flirted with the politics of the Squad, and he was also an institutionalist not a revolutionary—which made sense, because as the Democratic Party’s Senate whip, he was the second in command. Yet it’s hard not to think of that vote when reading the news that, as expected, Brian Schatz has secured his place as Durbin’s successor as whip. That part is less important than what it sets...

Keir Starmer’s popularity amongst the British public shows no sign of turning around, with a new poll finding he is now less popular than Donald Trump. Polling from City AM and Freshwater Strategies asked Brits whether they had favourable or unfavourable opinions of several politicians. When asked for their thoughts on the prime minister, just 23% of respondents said they had a favourable opinion of Starmer, with 60% saying unfavourable. By comparison, Trump scored three points better than Starmer among Brits, with a favourability rating of 26%, and 57% unfavourable. It wasn’t just Starmer who was trumped by Trump. His...

This week, Levi's tried to counter Sweeney's promo for American Eagle jeans by creating their own ad featuring one of the biggest celebrities on the planet, Beyoncé. Beyoncé stars in new ad campaign for Levi’s. The singer appears with blonde curly hair in new photos released by the jeans brand. It comes amid Sydney Sweeney’s new American Eagle ad being criticized by liberal activists who have claimed it is ‘racist.’

A Democrat congresswoman faced immense criticism for saying she’s a “proud Guatemalan” before she’s an American. “Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez at a summit in Mexico City this weekend tells the audience while speaking in Spanish: ‘I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American,'” The Blaze wrote. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shared the footage, adding a quote from Theodore Roosevelt. “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism...Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other...

The Trump administration is reportedly weighing two proposals to remove China from critical U.S. supply chains. One option involves negotiating a rare earth mineral trade deal directly with the Myanmar junta. The other, and potentially more strategic, approach is to bypass the junta entirely and engage with the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), a powerful ethnic armed group that controls resource-rich territory and has been fighting the junta since it nullified Myanmar’s democratic election and seized power in 2021. Engaging with the junta risks legitimizing a brutal regime responsible for widespread atrocities, including airstrikes and ground assaults on civilians, hospitals, schools,...

This month, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) achieved unique ignobility as the first Member of Congress to be formally admonished for an outburst during a presidential address. Indeed, Wilson’s most memorable words in his entire career will likely be his rebuttal to President Barack Obama: “You lie!— Wilson’s lack of personal control and proper decorum, however, may have a more lasting impact on the speech of his colleagues. House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) is warning Members that they will face punishment if they engage in improper forms of speech. Specifically outlawed are references to any president as a “liar,— “hypocrite,—...

"Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of ****, okay? We know that. Yes, yes, he is. But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this." =========================================================================== At a rally in Arizona over the weekend, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said that President Donald Trump was a "piece of ****," claiming that "in a functioning democracy," Trump "would not be able to get away with this." While telling the crowd at MoveOn’s "Won’t Back Down Tour" about how "corrupt" the Supreme Court has become, Crockett said, "listen, Donald Trump is a piece of ****, okay?...

Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX) suffered a meltdown after the Texas GOP unveiled a new congressional map that leaves her quite literally out of bounds. The far-left loudmouth, known for her unhinged outbursts, freaked out after Texas State Rep. Todd Hunter (R) released a proposed redistricting map that would reshape the political battlefield in favor of conservatives. The proposed map includes the elimination of five Democrat districts across Austin, Dallas, Houston, and South Texas. Crockett, who now doesn’t even reside in the district she currently represents, was livid. “I currently don’t live in the [Congressional District] 30 that they created…that’s...

When asked how far the US government has plunged into the red, many fiscally-conscious Americans will tell you the national debt has reached $37 trillion. As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.That huge discrepancy springs from the fact that the federal government doesn’t hold itself to the same accounting standards it imposes on businesses. Rather than using accrual accounting — which recognizes expenses when they’re incurred — our Washington overlords self-servingly...

No, I am not talking about statues celebrating the likes of Letitia James or Stacey Abrams. At least you could understand why the left would want to celebrate these women and try to make them icons. Rather, I am talking about a truly mysterious trend of Blue cities erecting statues of anonymous women whose only discernible reason for being is the celebration of obese black women as a class of people. Erecting a statue to celebrate someone's achievements deserves no criticism, regardless of the subject's attractiveness. If someone wanted to erect a statue to celebrate Stephen Hawking, who was never...

Pickens County School District says disciplinary action is being weighed after video surfaces from school-sponsored football retreat. ============================================================= Authorities in the Upstate region of South Carolina are investigating an alleged assault involving high school football players during a school-sponsored retreat at Presbyterian College earlier this month, according to an incident report provided to FITSNews.

Starke, Florida AP — A man convicted of the 1994 killings of his wife and their two children became the ninth person put to death in Florida this year, his death Thursday marking a state record for a single-year execution total since the U.S. Supreme Court restored the death penalty decades ago. Edward Zakrzewski, 60, was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m. following a three-drug injection at Florida State Prison near Starke. After the return of the U.S. death penalty in 1976, Florida carried out a high of eight executions in 2014, a one-year total only matched this year with a...

While most of the country has erupted in outrage after an angry mob savagely assaulted two white people in downtown Cincinnati over the weekend, one prominent local politician has the exact opposite reaction to the story. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a group of black individuals smacked around a bald white guy at the intersection of West Fourth Street and Elm Street in downtown Cincy and beat him so bad that he could not get up. Then, a white woman got slugged by one of the cowards. Her head slammed down onto the concrete, and she lost consciousness. Blood was...
