The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) has become a focal point of concern as questions arise about its sustainability and effectiveness. Established in 1974 under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), PBGC was intended to protect private-sector pensions by insuring defined benefit plans. Initially, it served a legitimate purpose, safeguarding workers’ retirement benefits, particularly in industries like automotive where pension failures left many without necessary support. Today, PBGC backs pensions for around 33 million participants in various plans, representing about 11% of the U.S. workforce. This is significant, yet it highlights a fundamental disparity: the remaining 89% rely solely…
Rep. Nancy Mace has raised significant concerns regarding the prosecution of child exploitation cases in Dorchester County, as outlined in recently obtained Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents. The figures are alarming. From 2019 to 2022, the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office, led by Alan Wilson, processed 385 warrants related to child pornography accusations. However, only 29 of these cases, a mere 7.5%, resulted in convictions. The stark reality reveals that 356 cases were dismissed outright, with not a single trial held. Mace’s frustration is palpable. She stated, “We obtained FOIA documents showing South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson failed…
The U.S. House Oversight Committee has officially withdrawn its subpoena aimed at former FBI Director James Comey. This decision follows Comey’s assurance that he possesses no relevant information regarding the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, according to a letter he sent to the committee. In the letter dated October 1, Comey stated, “I have no knowledge or information relevant to the Committee’s investigation,” which pertains to Epstein’s connections and activities spanning back to the 1990s. Comey was expected to testify Tuesday, but his dismissal of the subpoena has effectively ended that prospect. He reasoned that attending the deposition would “unproductively consume…
The Supreme Court is gearing up for arguments regarding a significant case involving counseling services for minors and their constitutional rights. The focus of the case is on whether licensed therapists, specifically those like Kaley Chiles, can conduct conversations with youth about gender identity and sexual orientation as a matter of protected speech under the First Amendment. Chiles, a therapist from Colorado Springs, maintains that her faith-based approach to counseling should be classified as protected free speech. Her legal representatives argue that she aims to promote what they believe is a healthier alignment with one’s biological sex. Chiles provides a…
In recent comments, President Trump has indicated a willingness to invoke the Insurrection Act to address ongoing riots in Portland, Oregon, particularly those associated with anti-ICE demonstrations.

On Sunday, the Chicago Police Department faced severe criticism after officers were ordered to “stand down” while federal agents were under attack in Brighton Park. The incident occurred Saturday morning when federal officers from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were ambushed by a convoy of around ten vehicles. Officials described the incident as a “coordinated assault” carried out by domestic extremists protesting President Trump’s ongoing deportation actions. The initial confrontation began with Marimar Martinez, a known agitator who has a history of targeting ICE agents online. She allegedly rammed her vehicle into an ICE…

In the midst of ongoing redistricting battles nationwide, particularly in states like California and Texas, a unique situation is unfolding in Maine. Here, State Auditor Matt Dunlap is challenging incumbent Democratic Rep. Jared Golden in a primary election. This move appears less about winning a seat and more about asserting party ideology in what some are calling the “post-woke era.” Golden, who has managed to retain his position in Maine’s Second Congressional District since 2018, represents one of the few remaining blue voices in a predominantly red area. His past victories have been narrowly won, such as in the contentious…

In a curious twist of media and politics, an attempt to blame rising tensions on the right fell flat, as the recent incident involving a South Carolina judge revealed more about the desperation of political operatives than about any genuine threat. The situation centers around a house fire at the home of Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein, who had recently ruled against the Trump administration. Newsom’s team leaped at the opportunity, trying to frame the fire as a politically motivated attack, despite a lack of evidence to support such a claim. “A few weeks ago, one of Trump’s top DOJ…

The recent arrest of Louis Geri outside a Washington, D.C., cathedral has sparked concerns over the growing violence associated with leftist political culture. Just as the legal system issued a shockingly lenient sentence for a previous assassination attempt against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Geri’s actions take center stage as a chilling reminder of the threats facing conservative figures. While Geri, a 41-year-old from Vineland, New Jersey, was found camped out with suspicious items, including fireworks and vials of an unidentified liquid, the proximity of his arrest to the annual Red Mass raises alarming questions about intent. Geri’s charges include…

Tillis made his announcement in late June, framing his retirement as…

President Donald Trump is making it clear that federal workers are on the chopping block unless significant progress is made in negotiations to end what is being referred to as the “Schumer shutdown.” Senator John Kennedy pointed out the absurdity of the situation when he noted, “You’d need an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of all the Senate Democrats’ demands for re-opening the government.” Despite the ongoing stalemate, it raises the question: what is the White House waiting for? The Trump administration has consistently advocated for a reduction in the federal workforce. This initiative began just days after the president’s…
Today marks two years since the tragic events of October 7, 2021, when terrorism shattered the peace of Israel. This anniversary serves as a stark reminder of the brutality inflicted on innocent lives during the Hamas-led invasion. The sheer scale of the assault remains difficult to fathom: approximately 6,000 terrorists breached Israel’s borders, with roughly 3,800 linked to Hamas and 2,200 from various groups. This invasion force resembles military operations in historical contexts, comparable to the deployment of two American brigades, such as during the U.S. intervention in Grenada. On that day, more than 1,100 Israelis were murdered, including numerous…
New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill declared on Monday her intention to take legal action against the Trump administration should President Trump attempt to send National Guard troops to the state.
