President Donald Trump is taking bold steps to transform Washington, D.C., renewing the city’s architectural promise rooted in history. In August, he signed an executive order aimed at reinstating classical architectural styles reminiscent of ancient Athens and Rome, honoring George Washington’s vision of the capital as “a classical city.” This initiative stands in stark contrast to the left’s embrace of modernist styles, notably Brutalism, which many view as an eyesore. Brutalism, characterized by its stark blockish shapes and raw concrete, has drawn criticism from multiple quarters. The HHS Headquarters, built by Marcel Breuer and often referred to as “The Death…
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung has voiced strong criticism of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee following their recent decision to award the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado. The committee overlooked President Donald Trump, who had been nominated for his notable efforts in peace negotiations, particularly regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza. As reported by the New York Post, Machado received recognition for her opposition to Nicolás Maduro’s government. This decision is perplexing to many, especially in light of Trump’s announcement regarding a deal he successfully brokered, which is anticipated to end the war in Gaza and…
As the war in Ukraine continues, the situation grows increasingly dire. President Zelenskyy leads his country through the darkest of times, relying on external support even as that support fades. The Kremlin’s spokeswoman remarked that the “Kiev regime doesn’t realize its negotiating position is deteriorating with each passing day.” This reflects a troubling reality for Ukraine: while other conflicts around the world may be calming, Ukraine remains in turmoil. Recent reports indicate that Russia has made significant territorial gains, claiming over 3,000 square miles by 2025. What’s more alarming is the renewed focus on crippling Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, particularly as…
Wayne Allyn Root recently praised President Trump for what he characterized as a miraculous achievement: bringing peace to the Middle East. He illustrated this notion by highlighting the unusual support both Israelis and Palestinians have for Trump, suggesting they see him as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. Root contrasts his remarks regarding negotiating with Hamas terrorists versus dealing with Democrats, asserting that it is easier to reach agreements with those who commit egregious acts of violence than with political opponents here at home. He likens “Trump Derangement Syndrome” among Democrats to a form of mental illness, complicating negotiations…
With Election Day less than a month away, Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist from Queens, leads the race for New York City mayor. Recent polling from Quinnipiac University shows him with 46% support among likely voters. However, he faces growing competition from former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has narrowed the gap to 33%. Mamdani’s rise to prominence came after a surprising victory in the Democratic primary, where he defeated Cuomo and eight other candidates. His campaign has resonated strongly with younger voters and various demographic groups, particularly Asian Americans and Democrats, where his support reaches up to 67% and…
Oregon National Guard Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold is catching heat for his recent testimony, which seems to challenge President Trump’s directives. Gronewold, speaking before an Oregon Senate committee, declared that his troops would be there to “protect protesters” at federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities. This comment has drawn sharp criticism, especially as a federal appeals court considers whether Trump can call Guard members to Portland amidst escalating anti-ICE protests. During his appearance, Gronewold described the potential role of the National Guard under Title 10 orders. He stressed, “The Oregon National Guard men and women serve two purposes:…
Dominion Voter Systems has changed hands, with the former director of elections for St. Louis, Scott Leiendecker, acquiring the company and rebranding it as Liberty Vote. This new ownership begs the question: can it regain the public’s confidence that has eroded since the contentious 2020 election? Leiendecker believes so. “Liberty Vote signals a new chapter for American elections—one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up,” he stated. He emphasized the company’s commitment to election technology that prioritizes “paper-based transparency, security, and simplicity,” aiming to assure voters that every ballot is filled out correctly and counted fairly. Yet skepticism persists.…
In a troubling development, Ronald Exantus, a convicted murderer, has been released from prison 13 years early and has quickly found himself back behind bars in Florida. Exantus was sentenced in 2015 for the brutal stabbing death of 6-year-old Logan Tipton during a home invasion. The horrific details of this crime reverberate painfully: Exantus broke into the Tipton family’s home and attacked the young boy as he slept, also injuring other family members in the process. Initially, Exantus was charged with murder but was found not guilty by reason of insanity. This decision led to his conviction for lesser charges,…
The Virginia gubernatorial race was initially positioned as a significant comeback opportunity for the Democratic Party. Instead, it has devolved into a debacle, largely due to the nominee’s refusal to retract her endorsement of a candidate who has openly fantasized about violence against political opponents. This predicament highlights the ongoing struggles facing Democrats as they look toward the 2025 elections. Historically, gubernatorial races serve as barometers for national political sentiment. The outcomes often set the tone for midterm elections. Take, for example, the 1993 victories of Christine Todd Whitman and Rudy Giuliani, which foreshadowed a Republican resurgence in Congress the…
President Donald Trump has faced criticism after not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, despite his significant role in ending eight wars during his presidency. The Nobel Committee’s decision drew the ire of many, particularly with the justification offered by its chair, Jørgen Watne Frydnes. He stated that Trump’s tendency to seek attention disqualified him from receiving such an honor. “In the long history of the Nobel Peace Prize,” Frydnes noted, “this committee has seen many types of campaign, media attention. We receive thousands and thousands of letters every year of people wanting to say what, for them, leads to…
The ongoing government shutdown has ignited a fierce debate among top Republicans about the best course of action for the party. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other party leaders are raising alarms about President Trump’s approach, cautioning against potential job cuts and entitlement reductions during this critical time. As the shutdown continues into its second week, tensions are high, with Trump playing a central role in shaping the GOP’s strategy. Trump had previously characterized the shutdown as a chance to “drain the swamp,” claiming that Democrats were obstructing necessary spending cuts, particularly regarding health care for illegal immigrants. “When…
The United States has intensified its military presence in the Caribbean, ostensibly to target drug trafficking operations linked to the Maduro regime in Venezuela. However, analysts speculate that the underlying motive may be more strategic: to undermine Nicolás Maduro’s authoritarian rule. Over the past month, the military launched strikes against four boats tied to cartel networks, as President Trump escalates pressure on the Venezuelan government. Defensive posturing raises an important question: Is the U.S. preparing for direct conflict with Caracas? The short answer from military analysts is likely not. A ground invasion would necessitate a substantial troop presence—estimates vary between…
Driving along Route 40 in southern New Jersey, one cannot help but appreciate the lush landscapes that lend the state its “Garden State” moniker. For Jack Ciattarelli, the Republican candidate for governor, these picturesque views present both a promise and a challenge. Right now, Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill holds a slim five-point lead in the polls. Yet, history tells a different tale. In 2024, when polls predicted that President Donald Trump would lose New Jersey by significant margins, he ultimately fell short by only six points. Ciattarelli, too, exceeded expectations in 2021, despite losing. Both campaigns recognize an important fact:…
The radical Antifa group in Portland has publicly declared a confrontational stance against U.S. military operations. They issued a provocative invitation for a “laser party,” aiming specifically to disrupt military helicopters monitoring the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. This statement, reported by independent journalist Andy Ngo, encourages participants to gather at various locations throughout the city and direct powerful laser beams at the helicopters overhead. In their announcement, they boldly declared: “YOU’RE INVITED: LASER TAG!” emitting a tone of defiance against what they perceive as oppressive surveillance from federal authorities. The operatives behind this initiative highlighted their discomfort…
In a significant development, Dominion Voting Systems has been sold to KnowInk, a St. Louis-based election technology firm led by former Republican election official Scott Leiendecker. The sale represents a notable evolution in the landscape of election technology. KnowInk is set to undergo a rebranding to Liberty Vote, emphasizing a commitment to U.S.-based staffing and software development. A spokesperson for Liberty Vote stated the company is dedicated to utilizing hand-marked paper ballots, ensuring compliance with relevant federal directives, and maintaining high standards of third-party auditing. Before the sale, Dominion had settled several lawsuits against prominent conservatives, including former New York…
Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli is taking a bold step in response to accusations made by his Democratic opponent, Rep. Mikie Sherrill. Following a heated debate, Ciattarelli’s campaign announced plans to file a defamation lawsuit against Sherrill, who claimed he was partly responsible for the results of the opioid crisis in New Jersey, stating he contributed to the deaths of “tens of thousands of New Jerseyans.” During the debate, Sherrill expressed her views emphatically. “You know, my opponent likes to talk a lot about being a businessman, but I think what New Jersey doesn’t know as much about is his…
North Korea’s upcoming celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Workers’ Party underscores the stark contrast between the regime’s propaganda and the grim realities faced by its citizens. In a recent speech, Kim Jong Un highlighted the supposed strength and accomplishments of the party, declaring it the “political General Staff” of the nation. Yet, the ideals espoused by Kim gravely miss the mark when compounded with the dismal conditions experienced by the population. Kim’s address emphasized solidarity and revolutionary duty, drawing on the legacy of his grandfather, Kim Il Sung. He claimed that the party embodies “people-centered socialism,” a philosophy…
Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears made her stance clear during the recent gubernatorial debate in Virginia. When the conversation shifted to transgender issues, she confronted former Rep. Abigail Spanberger directly. “We know that girls want to have privacy,” Earle-Sears stated, clearly opposing Spanberger’s prior votes that she claimed favored transgender individuals using facilities reserved for women. Earle-Sears pressed Spanberger on whether she would feel comfortable changing in a gym with “men nude in the locker rooms.” This pointed question underscored Earle-Sears’ commitment to defending female privacy and safety in schools. Earle-Sears also highlighted Governor Glenn Youngkin’s recent executive directive, which mandates…
In a revealing interview with Jesse Watters, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shared her tough stance on sanctuary cities, particularly focusing on Portland, Oregon. Noem delivered a bold message: if city officials do not actively support ICE agents, they should expect a significant influx of federal agents to assert law and order in their jurisdictions. Noem outlined the situation in Portland, where she believes local leaders have failed to protect federal officers from violent groups such as Antifa. “I met with… the superintendent of the state police. I told them what we wanted,” Noem explained. She emphasized the…
On October 8, the congressional hallways became a battleground as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) faced off against Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) in a heated exchange. The backdrop of this confrontation was the ongoing government shutdown that kicked off on September 30. Jeffries found himself rattled when Lawler suggested a simple solution… extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies for another year. As Lawler pressed the issue, he urged Jeffries, “Why don’t we sign on right now? You can easily extend the ACA right now.” Instead of addressing the proposal, Jeffries opted for personal jabs, questioning Lawler’s independence and saying,…
