There’s a growing call across the US, loud, unapologetic, and long overdue: End all third-world immigration. Legal or illegal. Just shut it down.

A third Biden autopen was discovered on Thursday amid a federal investigation into “who ran the United States while Biden was in office.” House Oversight Chairman James Comer is also spearheading a congressional investigation into Biden’s health coverup. On Wednesday President Trump directed his White House Counsel, David Warrington, in consultation with Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate “whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.” Trump announced: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing an investigation into who ran the United States...

Before his termination, he served as chief operating officer of the Pentagon’s former...

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon leaned into President Trump’s aspirations for a third term, suggesting Trump will run and win in 2028 while denying his own presidential ambitions. “I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028, so I’ve already endorsed President Trump,” Bannon told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo. “A man like this comes along once every century, if we’re lucky, we’ve got him now.” “He’s on fire, and I’m a huge supporter. Want to see him again in 2028,” he added in an appearance on “CUOMO.” Trump has floated the idea of running for...

Friday, during an appearance on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had turned down two earlier opportunities to sign a proposed minerals deal with the United States. According to Bessent, Zelensky was given chances in Kyiv by him once in Munich with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Friday’s dust-up with President Donald Trump was his third chance. “[I] know you had a meeting scheduled — an economic meeting scheduled a few weeks back with President Zelensky,” host Laura Ingraham said. “And tell us about his arrival and punctuality or lack thereof and seemed...

The grim lesson of the devastating wildfires in California over the past week, which turned my community into ruins, is clear: private services work, and public services do not. I live in Pacific Palisades. My house is the last one standing on the corner. There is rubble in every direction. The streets along the route my wife and I used to walk in the evening are a post-apocalyptic scene. Every beautiful house we admired is destroyed; every child our kids played with is gone. A mile away, the center of town — which we call the “village” — is a...

DETROIT — In a nod to Michigan’s importance among swing states, Donald Trump will hold his last campaign event in Grand Rapids late election eve Monday. That’ll make River City the former president’s final stop in all three of his campaigns. A nine-year journey that started with an escalator ride at Trump Tower will end at downtown’s Van Andel Arena in Michigan’s second-largest city. “Michiganders love a late-night rally, and President Trump loves Michigan,” Victoria LaCivita, the Trump campaign’s Michigan spokeswoman, told The Post. “From the beginning, Team Trump has known that the path to the White House runs directly...

Former President Donald Trump declared Thursday that there will be “NO THIRD DEBATE” with Vice President Kamala Harris, minutes after an internal campaign poll showed his Democratic opponent got no polling bounce from their verbal sparring match on ABC News earlier this week. “When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are ‘I WANT A REMATCH,'” Trump, 78, posted on his Truth Social. “Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate.” After being a “no-show”...

DENVER (KDVR) — Each year, U.S. News and World Report releases a report ranking each state on several factors. In the most recent report, Colorado made a top 10 list — for most dangerous states. On Thursday, U.S. News and World Report released the “10 Most Dangerous States in America” list. Each of the 50 states was judged on violent crimes and property crime rates. Colorado was recognized as the third most dangerous state, largely in part because of its property crime rate. The report pulled violent and property crime numbers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Crime Data Explorer....

The Republican Party should run on the Bill of Rights, and how many have been violated by the Democrats and the Biden administration.

The third batch of previously sealed court documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein dropped Friday afternoon. The 29 documents — totaling 411 pages — add to the trove of information that has already trickled out this week, detailing how the sick pedophile leveraged his connections to the rich, powerful and famous to recruit his victims and cover up his crimes. The files, which were ordered released by Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska last month, are part of a since-settled defamation lawsuit that Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre brought against the sex offender’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 2015.

Twenty-five years ago, novelist Toni Morrison famously labeled Bill Clinton as “the first Black president.” The first actual Black president, Barack Obama, would come later. But Morrison’s memorable one-liner still gets laughs. It was a smart way to say that Clinton broke new ground by elevating Black leaders and policies that helped Black people. By Morrison’s standard, President Joe Biden is our nation’s third Black president. But Biden’s 2024 campaign is worried about getting Black voters to the polls. Last week, the Biden campaign put $25 million into a radio advertising campaign to pump up enthusiasm among Black and Latino...

In June, two dark money groups hosted private meetings in Washington, D.C. with senior Democratic congressional officials to plot against a third presidential ticket in 2024. Their target was the group No Labels, which is working to gain ballot access for a potential independent unity ticket featuring a Republican and Democrat as running mates. Those scheming to stop No Labels continue to fall back on a single word to describe the effort: Dangerous. What’s so dangerous about providing voters an alternative to President Biden and former President Trump? According to these Democrats, a third ticket would help elect Trump by...

At a certain point, all decisions and election chances in politics come down to basic math. No matter how some consultants, pollsters or campaign managers may attempt to complicate the process to justify their fees or salaries paid by a candidate or company, it still comes down to this: Does the math finish on the “plus side” for him or her to run, and does it finish on the plus side for the candidate to win? My mother used to say, “If you can read, you can cook.” In the arena of political elections, if you can do basic addition...

Donald Trump — meet Kyrsten Sinema. Sen. Sinema (I-Ariz.) recently departed the Democratic Party to become an independent. If Trump follows her lead and runs for president as an independent he instantly launches the most consequential third-party candidacy in American history. Think about it. Polls now show GOP voters increasingly rejecting the disgraced ex-president as the party’s 2024 nominee. If Republicans turn on him, is there any doubt the notoriously thin-skinned Trump will soon start threatening a run as an independent to spite his former party? A third-party platform allows him to stay in the media spotlight and continue to...

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — People with disabilities in Portland, Oregon, have sued the city, saying they can’t navigate its sidewalks because of sprawling homeless encampments. The federal class action lawsuit says the city has violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by allowing homeless people’s tents to block city sidewalks, making it difficult for people using wheelchairs, walkers or canes to use them. “The entire class of persons with disabilities are regularly deprived of the benefits of services of the city of Portland,” said John DiLorenzo, lead counsel for the plaintiffs. The suit was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in...

President Biden tests positive for COVID-19, White House says he's experiencing 'very mild symptoms'

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy posted a Twitter thread explaining why he is still wearing a mask on planes even without a mandate, saying “our decisions affect others.” Today, we’re diving into new CDC data on where COVID-19 ranks as a cause of death, and a look at how many deaths could have been prevented with more vaccinations. Welcome to Overnight Health Care, where
