The recent newsletter from Fox News Politics highlights significant developments surrounding the Trump administration and political happenings in Washington. One striking element is President Donald Trump’s bold declaration of himself as the “acting president” of Venezuela, a claim he backed up with a provocative social media post featuring a doctored Wikipedia page. This move signals a significant pivot in U.S. foreign policy as Trump announced the intention to oversee Venezuela following military action that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro, the country’s long-time dictator. Trump’s assertive stance is a clear indicator of his administration’s ambitions in Latin America. He…

Former Representative Mary Peltola has formally declared her intention to run for a U.S. Senate seat in Alaska, aiming to unseat Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan. In a two-minute video, Peltola articulates the pressing issues of scarcity and inflation facing Alaskans. “Growing up, Alaska was a place of abundance. Now, we have scarcity,” she states, emphasizing the difficulty of finding essential foods like salmon and large game. The rising grocery prices add to the burden for residents, highlighting a shift from plenty to need. Peltola’s political journey has been notable. She previously served as Alaska’s sole House representative, winning a special…
The recent firing of Robert McBride, the deputy attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, sheds light on the intricate politics surrounding high-profile prosecutions. McBride’s dismissal follows his refusal to advance charges against former FBI Director James Comey, a case already dismissed by a federal judge. This scenario highlights the tensions within the Justice Department and raises questions about judicial influence and prosecutorial discretion. The background is critical. In September, James Comey was indicted on two counts: false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. This development initially suggested a potential shift in accountability for…
In a dramatic clash between military authority and congressional accountability, Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly has taken legal action against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The senator’s lawsuit aims to prevent the Pentagon from lowering his retirement rank and pay—retaliation he claims stems from his November 2025 video urging servicemembers to “ignore illegal orders.” This legal battle not only questions the boundaries of political speech for active and retired military personnel but also threatens to reshape the traditional relationship between the legislative and executive branches in matters of national defense. The crux of Kelly’s lawsuit lies in its assertion that…
The recent unanimous approval by the United States Senate for a plaque commemorating January 6, 2021, stands as a troubling emblem of hypocrisy and an affront to American values. This memorial, meant to honor the Capitol’s defense, has been criticized for whitewashing the brutal reality of that day, particularly concerning the treatment of peaceful protesters. Innocent individuals exercising their rights that day suffered grievously, yet many of their stories remain obscured by the narratives perpetuated by those in power. The tragic deaths of unarmed protesters, including Ashli Babbitt, who was shot point-blank, have been relegated to footnotes in a narrative…
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s latest boasts about his country’s nuclear capabilities reveal more theatrics than technological prowess. He recently championed his nation’s Burevestnik strategic cruise missile and Poseidon underwater drone as “unique and one-of-a-kind.” Yet, these weapons stem from outdated U.S. military concepts that were abandoned decades ago due to their limitations. In Putin’s grand December speech, he declared, “They are nuclear-powered devices, and that is why they will be unique and one-of-a-kind in their categories, ensuring strategic parity and security for Russia.” However, the truth is far less flattering. Experts point out that both Poseidon and Burevestnik mirror failed…
NASA’s Crew-11 mission is taking an unexpected turn as the safety of its crew takes precedence over scheduled plans. The team, including NASA astronauts Michael Fincke and Zena Cardman, along with Japan’s Kimiya Yui and Russia’s Oleg Platonov, are set for an early return to Earth due to a serious medical issue affecting one of their members. This operation marks a significant moment in space travel, highlighting the critical importance of crew health above all else. As reported, the Crew-11 team will conduct what is officially termed a “controlled medical evacuation” after only a short stint aboard the International Space…
Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s complicated relationship has seen significant shifts since their public fallout in June 2025. Their recent interactions suggest a thaw in their previously icy ties, raising questions about the future of their connection. Over the weekend, Trump explicitly mentioned Musk while discussing potential support for demonstrators in Iran. Speaking to the media aboard Air Force One, he noted, “We may get the internet going if that’s possible. We may speak to Elon. Because as you know, he’s very good at that kind of thing.” This comment signals not only a willingness to reconnect with Musk but…
The piece by Wayne Allyn Root presents a stark contrast between two sets of protests: those occurring in Iran and those in America. Root argues these movements reflect fundamentally different motivations and ideals. Root begins by acknowledging that protestors in both countries seek change and share a disdain for their governments. However, he quickly distinguishes the Iranian protestors as patriots who genuinely love their country. They wave American flags and even honor former President Trump, signaling a desire for a system modeled after the United States. This love for their nation and yearning for freedom from oppressive rule is a…
In a dramatic showdown, Democrat Senator Mark Kelly has taken legal action against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. This conflict stems from Hegseth’s recent censure of Kelly, sparked by a video where Kelly and five other lawmakers encouraged military personnel to defy President Trump’s orders. Hegseth, asserting that such behavior undermines military discipline, has moved to cut Kelly’s military retirement pay, labeling his actions as “seditious.” The video in question, featuring Kelly and Senators Elissa Slotkin among others, called on service members to “refuse illegal orders.” This bold message has put Kelly in the crosshairs of the Department of War,…
Oregon’s decision to clean up its voter registration rolls comes after a long period of stagnation and increasing scrutiny. The state’s Democratic Secretary of State, Tobias Read, outlined steps to address an alarming backlog of nearly 800,000 inactive voter registrations. These changes are framed as a necessary response to public pressure and recent lawsuits targeting the state’s election processes. The new directives initiate a process that many see as overdue. The first directive focuses on canceling the registrations of long-inactive voters that should have been eliminated before 2017. Approximately 160,000 registrations fit this description, and those voters’ mail was returned…
As the midterm elections loom, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is sending a clear message to her party. Democrats need to stop pandering to wealthy elites, or risk losing their grip on both the House and Senate in the coming years. “A Democratic Party that worries more about offending big donors than delivering for working people is a party doomed to fail in 2026, 2028, and beyond,” Warren declared during her recent speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Warren’s remarks aim to steer the Democratic Party toward a more populist and inclusive economic agenda, especially after disappointing…
House Democrats are taking action against a new directive imposed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that requires congressional members to provide advance notice before visiting ICE detention facilities. In a recent court filing, they claim the policy is politically driven and breaches federal spending laws, specifically Section 527, which restricts the department from using allocated funds to block congressional access to these facilities. This isn’t the first time Democrats have opposed such limitations. Last year, they filed a lawsuit to challenge a similar requirement mandating a seven-day notice prior to visits. A U.S. District Court judge, Jia Cobb,…
The financial media operates as a double-edged sword, wielding a strategic narrative that can influence the minds of everyday investors. The piece effectively argues that a profound “Psyop of Negativity” fills the airwaves, designed to instill fear and panic among those watching closely. The message is clear: when headlines relentlessly scream of recession and market collapse, it serves a purpose that may not align with the reality of the situation. The analysis starts strong by identifying fear as a powerful marketing tool. The notion that “fear sells” is not merely an opinion; it reflects a deep understanding of human psychology.…
A legal group aligned with Donald Trump is pushing for significant changes at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). America First Legal contends that the bureau’s demographic reporting mandate is unconstitutional. This rule requires lenders to collect race and sex data from mortgage applicants as part of a larger initiative for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). America First Legal argues that the CFPB should focus solely on determining the creditworthiness of homebuyers. They claim that collecting demographic data exposes applicants to discrimination based on race and sex, violating federal civil rights laws and the Constitution. A representative from America First…
Lisa Murkowski has stepped into the spotlight as the second Republican senator to voice her concerns about the Trump Administration’s handling of the investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. This situation stems from an escalating inquiry into Powell’s management of a massive renovation project in Washington, D.C., which has seen costs surge from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion. The criminal investigation was opened by U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro last November, following GOP Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna’s allegations of perjury against Powell. Luna’s serious accusations have put the Federal Reserve—the nation’s central banking system—under scrutiny, shining a light…
Tina Peters, the former Mesa County Clerk, has emerged as a central figure in a growing narrative about election integrity and governmental accountability. Her situation exemplifies the increasing tensions surrounding the management of computerized voting systems in the United States. Peters has faced significant backlash after publicly questioning the security and transparency of these systems. The forthcoming week is being heralded as pivotal, not only for Peters but also for broader discussions around election processes in America. Critics argue that her legal challenges stem from her whistleblower actions, while others perceive this as part of a systematic effort to silence…

Jenny McCarthy, once known primarily for her time as a Playboy Playmate, has shared a remarkable journey toward faith that many may find compelling. In a heartfelt interview on the “Culture Apothecary” podcast, McCarthy spoke candidly about her emotional response to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative Christian. Her shock and grief gave way to a deep spiritual awakening, underscoring how one person’s story can illuminate faith’s transformative power in a dark world. McCarthy’s revelation about her faith journey began in the wake of Kirk’s…

Texas is taking significant steps to ensure the integrity of its voter rolls. Governor Greg Abbott announced that the state is turning over its registration lists to the Justice Department for review. In a post on X, he emphasized, “Only American citizens can vote in the Lone Star State.” This initiative is aimed at identifying potential ineligible voters and reinforcing the commitment to maintain accurate voter registration. The governor’s confirmation comes in the wake of an earlier report from Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson. In October, Nelson revealed that a check of state voter records had uncovered over 2,700…
