In a striking example of political theater, Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse appears to be resorting to intimidation tactics against The Heartland Institute. This week, Whitehouse sent a letter laden with unfounded accusations aimed at pressuring the organization into revealing confidential information. After sending the letter, Whitehouse took the unusual step of leaking it to the press, seeking to amplify the threat. A report from The Guardian highlighted that the letter signaled ongoing scrutiny, claiming it “could set the stage for continued investigation if Democrats win back a congressional chamber in next November’s midterm elections.” Whitehouse has a history of…

European liberals share an alarming similarity with their American counterparts: a mission that undermines the very foundations of Christendom. This mission, observed across the Atlantic, involves a systematic inversion of truth, an erosion of freedom, and a strategy that impoverishes native populations—all while facilitating mass immigration to fulfill the agenda of Western elites. Recently, President Trump addressed these concerns directly to European leaders at the United Nations. He cautioned, “You’re destroying your heritage” in pursuit of misguided notions of politeness. These comments dissect the contemporary issues in Europe, where climate-driven and open-borders policies have reached a dangerous peak. Trump starkly…

This 64-year-old from Virginia Beach found himself in a dire situation when he suffered a heart attack while driving home from a workout. His story, however, takes a turn that many might consider divine intervention. On the day of the incident, Geraci had just completed a rigorous cardio session at the gym.

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is facing backlash after her comments regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She called for the abolition of the agency, using a now-retracted story from NBC News that alleged ICE used a 5-year-old autistic girl as bait to capture her father, Edwards Hip Mejia. This claim has drawn strong criticism and an official rebuttal from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Omar’s response to the story was swift and direct. She stated, “This is vile and beyond cruel. Abolish ICE.” Her assertion was built on information that has since been discredited. A DHS official, Tricia McLaughlin,…

He expressed his condolences to the families of the detainees but emphasized the danger that…
In a stark illustration of public discontent with the judicial system, a Change.org petition has emerged, amassing over 13,000 signatures demanding the removal of North Carolina Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes. This surge in support reflects a broader frustration with what many perceive as a judiciary that favors criminals over law-abiding citizens. Judge Stokes faces intense scrutiny after making the decision to release Decarlos Brown Jr., a repeat offender with a troubling record, just months before he committed a violent crime. Brown, who had been arrested 14 times prior, was set free without bail and later stabbed Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old…
Representative Haley Stevens (D-MI) has launched an impeachment push against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing what she describes as “health care chaos,” “reckless cuts,” and “rising costs.” Stevens has demanded his resignation, asserting that he is undermining progress in the healthcare sector.

In her statements, Stevens emphasized her strong disapproval, claiming, “Michiganders and families across the country are paying the price for RFK…
A recent NBC News report regarding an ICE operation in Massachusetts has sparked outrage and a swift denial from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), revealing the lengths to which some in the media will go to distort facts. This incident involves a raid that took place in Leominster, approximately an hour northwest of Boston, where ICE targeted an illegal alien with a serious criminal background.

The Trump administration’s recent decision to revoke Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s U.S. visa is a significant development that underscores the tensions between the two nations. The State Department announced this move late Friday, citing Petro’s “reckless and incendiary actions” during a rally in New York City. In a post on X, the department pointed out that Petro encouraged U.S. soldiers to defy orders, which was deemed unacceptable behavior for a foreign leader on American soil. Petro was speaking at a demonstration against Israel while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U.N. General Assembly nearby. His choice of venue was no…
The education crisis in America is unmistakable. With grade school students in several states failing to meet basic reading and math proficiency, the situation has reached alarming levels. Issues that existed long before the pandemic were exacerbated when schools were shut down during Covid-19. As a result, numerous states have turned to a straightforward solution…returning to fundamental teaching methods like phonics. It’s remarkable how focusing on core skills can yield dramatic improvements. If schools prioritize teaching kids to read instead of delving into social justice and gender theory, the outcomes can be extraordinary. Kelsey Piper, writing for ‘The Argument’ on…
Assata Shakur, born JoAnne Deborah Byron, has died at the age of 78.

She had been serving a life sentence for the murder of a police officer, armed robbery, and other violent crimes. Despite her criminal past, she was celebrated by some on the radical left as a ‘black liberation’ activist. For years, Shakur lived in Cuba, openly praising Communist leader Fidel Castro as a hero. Reports from the Associated Press confirm…
Jimmy Kimmel’s recent return to television has turned into a surprising spectacle that quickly fizzled out. Just three days post-relaunch, Kimmel witnessed a staggering 70 percent drop in his ratings, a fall that could put significant pressure on his long-term viability with ABC. Kimmel’s ratings plummeted from a reported high of 6.3 million viewers to just 2.4 million, suggesting that the hype around his comeback couldn’t sustain interest. This week, Kimmel’s average viewership was significantly above his typical 1.7 million, but even that spike was overshadowed by the swift and dramatic decline. As Bobby Burack of OutKick pointed out on…
Vice President JD Vance recently responded to a social media provocation that targeted Trump supporters over their reaction to the 2023 Bud Light controversy. The incident stemmed from a video shared on X, where a man shot Bud Light cans in protest against the brand’s decision to partner with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The video’s caption, aimed at Vance, sarcastically questioned his complaints about “violent rhetoric from the left.” In a light-hearted yet pointed response, Vance quipped, “I call upon all of our supporters to stop the violence against innocent beer cans.” He also highlighted the need for all political…
This week, Whoopi Goldberg stirred controversy with her remarks on ABC’s “The View” following President Trump’s address to the United Nations.

I’m worried,” she stated during the broadcast. Goldberg’s comments ignited backlash online.

On MSNBC, John Brennan, former CIA Director, came to the defense of James Comey, the disgraced ex-FBI Director recently indicted for lying and obstruction of justice. Brennan dismissed the actions of the Trump administration’s Justice Department, labeling them as part of a “revenge tour.” This notion raises an eyebrow when one considers Brennan’s own controversial past. Brennan’s defense of Comey is striking, especially in light of Comey’s indictment. Comey, once viewed as a pivotal figure in the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, is now portrayed by Brennan as a “man of integrity and honesty.” Yet,…

She became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic,…
