House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s recent amendments to the election legislation underscore a significant push to solidify voter identification requirements across the country. The proposed changes to the Safeguard the American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) aim to ensure that only legal citizens can participate in U.S. elections. The SAVE Act, initially passed by the House in April 2025, requires all voters to present in-person proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, before registering to vote.

Protests in Minneapolis took a humorous turn for Vice President JD Vance, revealing the disconnect between demonstrators and the political realities they oppose. As leftist protesters gathered outside a hotel, braving frigid -15 degree weather, they attempted to voice their displeasure against Vance.

In early February 2024, a disturbing act of violence took place when an Antifa radical unleashed an improvised explosive device (IED) outside an attorney general’s office in Montgomery, Alabama. The explosive was laden with nails and metal fragments—lethal projectiles intended to cause maximum harm. A few feet difference, a slight variation in timing, and the aftermath could have involved planning funerals instead of counting blessings. Fortunately, no injuries occurred, and the attacker was apprehended. Yet this incident signifies a troubling trend where political violence increasingly masquerades as legitimate forms of expression. Political leaders, who should set an example for society,…
Canada has long been viewed as a steadfast ally of the United States, sharing not just a geographical boundary but deep historical and cultural ties. However, recent events under the leadership of Prime Minister Mark Carney cast a shadow over that alliance. Under his watch, Canada has pledged to meet NATO’s minimum defense spending target of 2% of GDP by 2030 — a commitment long overdue since Canada has not reached this level since 1990. The glaring contrast with other nations, particularly Poland and Finland, highlights Canada’s shortcomings. Poland, with a population nearly equal to Canada’s, allocates over 4% of…

The Energy Department’s Office of Energy Dominance Financing has canceled nearly $30 billion in loans and revised an additional $53 billion after a thorough year-long review. Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s remarks highlight the urgency of this move, especially in the context of what he described as rushed disbursements in the waning days of the Biden presidency — a staggering amount that exceeded what had been disbursed over the previous 15 years combined.

Recent investigations into fraudulent activities across several states have cast a harsh spotlight on financial mismanagement and deception, particularly in California. The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently uncovered a significant case, revealing how a non-profit organization was exploited to siphon tens of millions of dollars intended to assist the homeless. This alarming revelation comes amid ongoing discussions surrounding the effectiveness of state policies aimed at addressing homelessness. California has grappled with this issue for years, often opting to respond with increased funding rather than implementing strategic and effective policies. As the DOJ’s findings suggest, this approach has led to rampant…
A recent investigation has shed light on the coordination of far-left groups following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents in Minneapolis.

In a recent interview with the New York Post, President Trump made headlines by announcing his decision not to attend Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. His reason? The distance. It seems that despite previous positive experiences at major football events, he finds this particular one just “too far away.” But the distance isn’t the only point of contention.

The backlash gained momentum after Newsmax host Todd Starnes delivered a scathing assessment, questioning Bondi’s approach. Starnes asserted that the time for merely sending letters to Democratic politicians has passed. “Who wants to tell AG Pam Bondi that the time…
