A significant warning from the American Parents Coalition (APC) emphasizes the growing concerns many have about the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA). The APC asserts that these unions are increasingly prioritizing “radical agendas” over educational quality, a claim supported by a report detailing substantial investments in progressive organizations—a move that has sparked considerable backlash from parents advocating for student-focused education. The APC’s executive director, Alleigh Marré, points out a disconnect: “Teachers’ unions were created to support educators and improve classroom instruction. Instead, they have transformed into radical political organizations.” This transformation has led to…
A last-minute allegation of sexual harassment has sent shockwaves through a Virginia congressional campaign, derailing the candidacy of Dan Helmer, a Democrat once seen as a frontrunner. The unfolding drama began just weeks prior to the Democratic primary for Virginia’s 10th Congressional District. Helmer, buoyed by strong polling numbers, seemed poised for victory. However, everything shifted after accusations emerged that claimed he had groped a woman at a political event in 2018. A statement from attorney Charles King detailed that Helmer allegedly groped the victim’s breast and made inappropriate sexual remarks about her. These claims came from within the Loudoun…
The recent ruling by the Utah Third District Court highlights a significant shift in the landscape of congressional redistricting, particularly in a state long recognized for its Republican leanings. Judge Dianna M. Gibson’s decision to reject the Republican-drawn congressional map has stirred considerable debate and raises questions about the balance of power within the state’s political framework. At the center of this ruling lies the court’s classification of the legislature’s map as an unconstitutional gerrymander. According to Gibson, the maps approved by the Republican-controlled state legislature did not adequately adhere to Utah’s Proposition 4, a measure established to combat partisan…
Jon Mellis was ambushed outside the Tesla Diner, a victim of an unprovoked attack by leftist protesters.

Antifa-affiliated agitators infiltrated a Turning Point USA event at the University of California, Berkeley, on Monday. What was meant to be a peaceful gathering devolved into chaos, leaving a Trump supporter with a bloodied face and a plethora of damaging video clips for the aggressors. Amid the mayhem, the radicals proclaimed that it was the TPUSA supporters who were the real “fascists.” This melee occurred during the “This Is the Turning Point” tour, mere months after the fatal shooting of founder Charlie Kirk at a similar event. Featured guests at the UC Berkeley stop included Christian author Dr. Frank Turek…
The reaction from the left to the recent Senate deal that reopened the government was nothing short of explosive. Many Democrats, including elected officials, expressed their anger and frustration after eight senators voted with Republicans to end a prolonged shutdown. Although Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was not the one negotiating this deal, he found himself in the crosshairs of criticism. “Despite voting against the deal, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is emerging as the top target for not containing the defections,” Axios reported. This situation raises concerns about Schumer’s leadership effectiveness. As one senior House Democrat put it,…
The landscape of American political discourse has shifted dramatically over the years, particularly regarding the credibility of election processes. A vivid example of this evolution is seen in the way conspiracy theories about voting machines have transitioned from the left to the right. In the 2004 election, Democrats quickly pointed fingers at voting machine manufacturer Diebold after John Kerry lost Ohio, despite exit polls suggesting he would win. The mantra at the time was that Republican ties at Diebold made it complicit in electoral fraud. Many on the left were convinced that exit polls held undeniable truth, leading to a…
Zohran Mamdani has made a significant move by appointing Elle Bisgaard-Church, his long-time chief advisor, to lead his administration in New York City. Known for her role in crafting Mamdani’s campaign and his proposals, Bisgaard-Church is hailed as the “chief architect” of the controversial Department of Community Safety. This new department aims to alter the way the city responds to non-violent 911 calls, deploying social workers instead of police officers for certain situations. Criticism surrounds this ambitious proposal, which would focus on mental health crises, particularly in subway stations. According to the plans presented, the department is expected to cost…

In the latest episode of The Gateway Pundit’s DC Dive, host Jordan Conradson tackles pressing issues surrounding the current government shutdown, which has reached a staggering 42 days. This shows remarkable persistence and raises questions about political strategy. The recent passage of a funding bill by the Senate, with a vote tally of 60-40, marks a significant moment.

In an era where political discourse often strays into the absurd, a recent moment captured on social media serves as a striking example. Progressive radio host Stephanie Miller took to Twitter, posting a photo of herself kissing the shoes of Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett.

Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor of New York City has triggered a significant uptick in real estate activity outside the city, particularly in affluent areas like Greenwich, Connecticut, and Palm Beach, Florida.

The Wall Street Journal highlighted the swift actions by real estate professionals in Connecticut, reporting that homes in Greenwich have seen a…

As he prepares to step away, Arrington reflects on his achievements, particularly his role in advancing President Donald Trump’s ambitious legislative agenda. He described this period in office as a “generational impact opportunity,” emphasizing the…

The recent end to the extended government shutdown marked a significant moment in U.S. political history. It involved a complex interplay between competing values and expectations in a deeply divided Congress. Senate Democrats reached an agreement to resume government operations, but the fallout sparked fierce criticism from within their ranks. Notably, the decision came without key provisions many expected, leaving some party members feeling frustrated and betrayed.

The clash between New York City’s newly elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani, and Border Czar Tom Homan highlights the growing divide over immigration enforcement policies in the United States. Mamdani, who has openly stated that he will refuse to allow the New York Police Department to cooperate with ICE, sets a defiant tone in his approach to immigration issues. His background as a Muslim immigrant from Uganda and his self-identification as a “communist” only intensify the scrutiny on his leadership. Known for his radical economic views, Mamdani faces significant opposition from figures like Homan, who are staunch advocates for stricter immigration…
In a recent House debate, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) took a strong stand against what she described as Democrats’ “guilty by association” attacks on Kash Patel’s nomination to the FBI.

This exchange highlighted the tensions surrounding Patel’s nomination and the role of donations in political accountability. Cammack wasted no time addressing the issue. She pointed out the irony in Plaskett’s criticisms by stating, “I believe the ranking member said she was deeply concerned about the affiliation, and we seem to have a…
The ongoing government shutdown, often referred to as the “Schumer Shutdown,” is coming to an end, but the implications of this political maneuver remain significant. For over fifty days, the Democrats held the government hostage, refusing to support a straightforward continuing resolution that would maintain previously agreed-upon spending levels. This impasse inflicted hardship on many Americans, sparked outrage among union allies, and undermined consumer confidence. The tangible impact of this shutdown is staggering. Hundreds of thousands found themselves unemployed, air travel safety was jeopardized, and those reliant on SNAP assistance faced increasing uncertainty. What did Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer…
