The fight over the Colorado River’s dwindling resources is made for MAGA — but so far the Trump administration has been playing it straight. President Donald Trump loves a good water war — and the biggest one yet is about to land in his lap. A quarter century of climate change and drought has driven water levels along the Colorado River and its two main reservoirs to historic lows, threatening supplies that support 40 million people and economies from Phoenix to Denver to Los Angeles. The seven states that share the West’s most important river are locked in battle over...

President Donald Trump's extended 60 Minutes interview

I will never forget the moment when I realized that President Trump had transformed the way we think about political scandals.It was in September 2019, right after Trump released the memorandum of his July 25, 2019, call with Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine. There, in black and white, was one of the clearest examples of an improper quid pro quo in foreign affairs that I’d ever seen.Zelensky told Trump that he would like to purchase Javelin anti-tank missiles for Ukraine. Trump responded with his own request. “I would like you to do us a favor,” he said, and proceeded...

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) appeared desperate to evade any and all questions about his support for former President Joe Biden — support that continued even after it became painfully obvious that Biden was declining rapidly.Newsom repeatedly dodged questions on that topic during a Sunday morning appearance on “Meet the Press,” attempting to change the subject every time host Kristen Welker raised another question about the former president.WATCH:“You stood by him till the end, after that disastrous debate performance, even when top Democrats were calling for him to step down,” Welker began. “Did you ever have concerns, Governor, about his capacity...

Summary Tear gas, car chases. The immigration crackdown in Chicago grows increasingly heated In Chicago neighborhoods, locals keep vigil for ICE operations Sounding the alarm on immigration crackdown by whistle and messaging apps CHICAGO, Nov 2 (Reuters) - The immigration agents' tear gas grenades clinked and then exploded against the concrete, shrouding the block in plumes of white gas.

At least 54 of the California governor’s past top donors haven’t chipped in for the Prop 50 campaign, including some of the state’s wealthiest residents and industry titans.But big-dollar donors carry weight in presidential campaigns, too, and some view these withdrawals as a warning sign for Newsom — reflecting lingering frustration with the party’s sweeping losses in 2024, fear of retribution from Trump or hesitation, even among some of California’s heaviest hitters, to align themselves this early with Newsom.“I have been really shocked at the big names that have not been on, which make me feel like this thing is...

Elijah Wilks was shot after he ran his car into the off-duty officer and pistol-whipped him when they pulled over. Family and friends initially claimed that the police were lying about their account of events; however, bodycam footage proved the police account was completely accurate. "No, they are not telling the truth. The story they posted is not the truth. Not the truth at all. Not the truth at all," a family friend tried claiming. Since the dashcam has been released, the family admits that the action from the off-duty officer was justified.

Democrats are so corrupt “I’m not kidding you, it's literally 4:28AM. Democrats raised your power bills. The Democrats put illegals over the safety of the citizens of the state of Illinois. The Democrats stole your down state transportation funds. Motor fuel sales tax you pay on motor fuel tax, they stole it and sent it to the CTA in Chicago.”

Former CIA director John Brennan was caught lashing out at a man who confronted him about the drama surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop. Brennan was seen getting in national security consultant Thomas Speciale's face as he got visibly angry when asked about the infamous letter that was signed by 51 former intelligence officers, including himself, that claimed the emails were part of Russian misinformation. Speciale posted the intense exchange to X on Saturday, claiming it occurred last Thursday following a conference. The conservative was seen holding a beer as he approached Brennan about the letter, but before he could get all...

Mamdani's Network of InfluenceABOUT THE HOSTILE TAKEOVERAcross the political spectrum, Americans value democracy, fairness and freedom of thought. Yet a movement has emerged that directly challenges those ideals — the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).As its leaders repeatedly state, the DSA are NOT Democrats. They are an external force that has infiltrated the Democratic Party to reshape it in their own image. Like the cuckoo that lays its eggs in another bird’s nest and then throws out the original bird’s eggs, the DSA is using the party’s structure and reputation while working to replace it with its own extremist agenda.If...

Every few years, Democrats rediscover something shocking: Americans don’t like them. Not just die-hard Republicans. Not just Fox News viewers. Normal, everyday people who work, pay taxes, believe that men can’t become women, and think “Latinx” is a typo.The latest wake-up call comes from a new report by a left-wing group hilariously named “Welcome” – as in, “Welcome back to reality.” After consulting hundreds of thousands of voters, the group found that 70 percent of Americans think the Democrat Party is out of touch.Apparently, it took Democrats six months and a 60-page report to learn what anyone outside of D.C....
