This turmoil stems from emails linking her to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The content of these messages raises serious questions about her judgment and character. In an email, Ferguson refers to Epstein as a “supreme friend,” a phrase that rings hollow given Epstein’s notorious past as a convicted sex offender.

The New York Times has found itself in the crosshairs yet again, this time for its claims about former CIA Director John Brennan’s lack of indictment, which it blames on Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard’s role in the Department of National Intelligence may be put under scrutiny, but the narrative being spun lacks accuracy. Gabbard, who stripped security clearances from numerous officials, has been painted as the villain in this story. However, the reality is far more complicated. Gabbard’s congressional actions have no legitimate bearing on the timing of any indictment. Critics highlight that the media’s focus on Gabbard is misdirected. The…
The Transportation Department is implementing significant changes to the eligibility standards for non-domiciled commercial learner’s permits (CLPs) and commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). These changes arise as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) conducts an audit into licensing practices across the country.

This marks a shift from previous guidelines, which allowed more lenient access to such licenses. As part of these changes, the department will enforce a mandatory federal immigration status check using the SAVE system. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, in a recent announcement,…

Filed in 2021 under the False Claims Act, the case, Doe v. Planned Parenthood, arises from claims by an anonymous whistleblower alleging continued fraudulent Medicaid billing in Texas and Louisiana after both states revoked the organization’s eligibility in 2015. According to the lawsuit, the revocations came after Planned Parenthood was implicated in selling fetal tissue and organs. Even after the states acted, legal challenges delayed the implementation of those revocations, allowing Planned Parenthood to…

Democrats and their allies in the media continue to display disturbing behavior following the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk 16 days ago. Rather than expressing remorse or reflection, they seem to revel in their moral complicity. Their latest tactic appears to be playing the victim while diverting attention from the violent act committed against Kirk, an influential figure in conservative circles. Take the recent segment on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Co-host Joe Scarborough labeled former FBI Director James Comey a “martyr for the rule of law.” In doing so, he gave liberals an unexpected hero to rally around, right after the…

European leaders are facing harsh criticism for their policies that seem intent on eroding not just their nations but the very foundations of Western civilization. The comparison drawn between American and European liberal agendas is stark: both appear to prioritize political correctness over the preservation of their cultural heritage. President Donald Trump articulated these concerns directly at the United Nations, declaring, “You’re destroying your heritage” by succumbing to “the green-energy scam” and openly welcoming a wave of unfamiliar immigrants. His remarks shed light on what he perceives as flawed priorities among many European leaders, who seem more focused on virtue…
