An immigration judge recently denied an asylum request from Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 gang member, marking another chapter in a convoluted legal battle. Abrego Garcia sought to reopen his asylum case after being deported to El Salvador earlier this year. He was brought back to the United States under controversial circumstances. This situation raises several critical questions about immigration policy, legal proceedings, and the role of federal authorities. Abrego Garcia’s journey began when he was deported to El Salvador, where federal prosecutors in Tennessee later indicted him on serious charges, including child sex trafficking. Following these developments, the federal…

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer recently found himself exposed for a level of hypocrisy that is hard to fathom, especially in light of his long history of anti-American legislation. On a CNN segment with host John Berman, Schumer attempted to justify a government shutdown, a position that starkly contradicts his past statements. The irony was not lost on viewers as Berman aired a clip of a younger Schumer condemning Republicans for threatening a shutdown back in 2013. “What if I persuaded my caucus to say I’m gonna shut the government down, unless I get my way?” Schumer was heard saying,…

A recent report raises significant concerns about the state of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, describing it as dangerously outdated and insufficient to address the rising global threats from nations like Russia, China, and North Korea. Authored by Robert Peters at the Heritage Foundation, the report suggests that the U.S. should nearly triple its deployed nuclear weapons by 2050, increasing from the current 1,750 to approximately 4,625 warheads. Peters emphasizes that America’s existing stockpile leaves the nation vulnerable as adversaries expand their arsenals rapidly. According to the Pentagon, China is particularly aggressive, adding about 100 new nuclear weapons each year and…

At its core, the Catholic Church has the potential to be a beacon of hope and charity throughout the world. Yet recent events raise troubling questions about the direction under the current papacy. The controversy surrounding Pope Leo XIV began in earnest at the Raising Hope for Climate Justice Conference in Italy, where the pope participated in an unusual ceremony that many viewed as inappropriate. He blessed a block of ice during a gathering characterized more by nature worship than by traditional Catholic doctrine. As he voiced his blessings, attendees joined in an almost ceremonial repeating of pledges that resembled…

This alarming forecast comes directly from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who addressed reporters Thursday outside the White House. Leavitt stated, “Look, it’s likely going to be in the thousands. It’s a very good question.

She argued that these discussions could have been avoided had Democrats chosen to…

A peculiar situation unfolded recently in Scotland, where a self-styled “African tribe” known as the Kingdom of Kubala faced eviction by local authorities.

The ongoing trial involving Tyler James Robinson and the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk marks a significant moment for the State of Utah. The prosecution, led by Utah County Attorney Jeffrey S. Gray, is under immense pressure.

In a political landscape marked by conflict and media bias, President Donald Trump has consistently outmaneuvered his critics. A decade into this extended political battle, one fact stands out above all: the establishment media’s attempts to degrade Trump’s image have failed. This reality is illustrated starkly in the latest polling data, which reveals an unsettling truth for Trump’s detractors. Current aggregates from sources like RealClearPolitics suggest Trump’s net approval rating lingers at minus 7.7 points. However, contrasting this with Rasmussen Reports—a pollster recognized for its accuracy—sends a different message: Trump’s approval exceeds that of former President Barack Obama during a…

Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary, recently shared his remarkable insights into his former neighbor, Jeffrey Epstein, during a guest appearance on the New York Post’s ‘Pod Force One.’ Lutnick’s firsthand accounts offer a troubling glimpse into Epstein’s world. He boldly labeled Epstein “the greatest blackmailer ever,” asserting that the disgraced financier had videos capturing influential figures in compromising situations. Lutnick’s statements diverge significantly from official narratives provided by the Department of Justice. He contends that Epstein traded damaging images to secure preferential treatment, specifically referencing Epstein’s 2008 plea deal, which many have criticized as lenient. “I say to him, ‘Massage…

Between September 22 and 27, the survey gathered responses from 1,313 registered voters. It found that 54 percent back the deportation of immigrants who are living illegally in the United States.

In a recent broadcast on Fox and Friends, Senator Jeanne Shaheen faced a sharp rebuttal from co-host Lawrence Jones amid the backdrop of the ongoing federal government shutdown. The shutdown, initiated by the Democrats and dubbed the “Schumer Shutdown,” went into effect early Wednesday morning after Senate measures aimed at averting the closure fell short of the necessary votes. The GOP-backed proposal was defeated by a margin of 55-45, with one notable exception: Senator Rand Paul, a Republican, sided with the Democrats. During the interview, Shaheen attempted to distance her party from accusations of promoting health care for illegal immigrants,…

A new White House memorandum has revealed a striking plan from Democrats that could significantly impact American taxpayers. This plan, embedded in their continuing resolution (CR), seeks to repeal several key healthcare reforms instituted under President Trump. These reforms, collectively known as America First healthcare policies, aimed to protect U.S. citizens from bearing the financial burden of medical care costs for illegal immigrants. The memo indicates that if Democrats proceed with their proposal, taxpayers could be responsible for nearly $200 billion in healthcare benefits for non-citizens over the next ten years. This staggering amount is almost equivalent to the total…

The FBI has reached a significant crossroads by severing its ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a group traditionally regarded as a defender against bigotry. This decision comes in the wake of recent controversies surrounding the ADL’s labeling practices, specifically its inclusion of Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk, in its now-disbanded “Glossary of Extremism.” In explaining this bold move, FBI Director Kash Patel pointed to a dysfunctional past linked to James Comey, the agency’s former director, implying that previous practices muddied the Bureau’s credibility. Patel’s critique of Comey was sharp and clear. “James Comey disgraced the FBI,” he…

Senate Democrats are steadfastly holding their ground amid the ongoing government shutdown, placing the responsibility for reopening on the Republican Party. The Senate’s recent recess for Yom Kippur suggests a momentary pause, but when lawmakers reconvene, they are set to revisit proposals aimed at ending the stalemate.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is rallying his party around the crucial issue of expiring Obamacare tax credits. Democrats believe it is imperative to address these tax credits now, rather than delaying…

Madeleine Dean (D-PA) was seen in a heated exchange with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) immediately after Trump delivered a commanding talk to the nation’s military leaders at Marine Corps Base Quantico.
