A North Carolina Democrat is making headlines with a controversial proposal for censorship that raises eyebrows, especially given the party’s recent claims of defending free speech. State Senator Mujtaba Mohammed wants to amend state law, specifically Article 22A of Chapter 163, to prohibit the use of a deceased crime victim’s name, image, or likeness in political advertising. His move appears to be a reaction to uncomfortable truths for his party as they approach the midterm elections. The proposed definitions are extensive. Mohammed defines a “deceased crime victim” as someone whose death is linked to an alleged crime. He includes immediate…

During his address at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), President Donald Trump took an unorthodox approach, defying expected diplomatic decorum. His speech, marked by a broken teleprompter, was not hindered; rather, it became a moment to showcase his distinct communication style. While seated leaders shifted awkwardly, Trump’s remarks elicited both laughter and shock, encapsulating his blend of humor and critique. At one point, Trump posed a provocative question: “What is the purpose of the United Nations?” He pointedly claimed to have ended seven wars himself, suggesting the U.N. had failed in its fundamental duties. This charged assertion set the…
Since President Donald Trump took office, two million illegal immigrants have departed the United States, as reported by the Department of Homeland Security. This figure comprises about 1.6 million individuals who self-deported voluntarily, along with over 400,000 who faced deportation. Currently, the department is on a trajectory to reach 600,000 deportations in Trump’s first year back in office.

Jimmy Kimmel is once again in hot water, and his recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination show why. On his show, Kimmel claimed he never intended to blame a Trump supporter for the tragedy. However, that assertion appears disingenuous given his previous statements. During his monologue, Kimmel emphasized, “It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.” Yet, this contradicts his earlier remarks, where he explicitly linked Kirk’s death to a so-called “MAGA gang.” Kimmel’s attempts to distance himself from responsibility show a lack of accountability. Critics point out that his fabrications and minced…
For years, Israel has navigated complicated relationships within the United Nations, often with reluctance. Engaging with U.N. officials, discussions were held to ensure humanitarian aid reached those in need in Gaza. This involved careful planning, management of budgets, and coordinating safe passages for crucial convoys. The intentions were clear: these efforts were made to help civilians, not for the benefit of Hamas. As stated, “as Israelis, we recognize the sanctity of human life, even beyond our own side of the battlefield.” Despite these humanitarian efforts, Israel found itself facing frequent and harsh criticism from the very body it sought to…

As he attempted to present his views on America’s role at…

The recent spectacle featuring Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress highlights the disconnect many perceive in the Democratic Caucus. As Trump spoke during the joint session in March, Welch, a senior member of the Senate at 78 years old, was caught dozing off right next to Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). This moment was not just a lapse in attention; it sparked a wave of mockery on social media and further fueled the narrative that some in Congress may be more focused on their nap than on the nation’s business. The incident gained traction as it…
Former Vice President Kamala Harris found herself in a tight spot during a recent interview on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow. The September 22 conversation veered into uncomfortable territory when Maddow pressed Harris about why she didn’t choose Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, as her running mate for the 2024 election.

During a fraught segment on ABC’s “The View,” host Whoopi Goldberg expressed her outrage regarding President Donald Trump’s comments about the media. This appearance highlighted deep tensions around the First Amendment as Goldberg took offense at Trump’s critical view of the mainstream media, specifically targeting Jimmy Kimmel’s recent remarks and broader media coverage. Goldberg’s tone was anything but subdued. “Basically both sides and the middle of the aisle are saying you don’t do this,” she asserted, referring to Trump’s suggestions about press regulation. Her statement lacked concrete detail, favoring emotional intensity over specifics. After playing a clip of Trump’s frustration…

Perkins emphasized the need for consequences, stating, “I would agree that people…

This significant move followed his sharp criticism of former Senator Jon Tester, who Johansen blasted for not doing enough to oppose 2024 opponent Tim Sheehy. Johansen also suggested that his party adopt “socialist” support programs, a notion that did not sit well, especially with Tester. On his “Grounded” podcast, Tester referred to Johansen as a “clown” and a “fox in the henhouse,” dismissing him as out of touch with Montana’s values. Following this fallout,…

Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s recent assertion that no government collaborates more with the United States in battling crime than Mexico’s government raises eyebrows. This statement, made at the Palacio Nacional in Mexico City, reflects a calculated effort to bolster the Mexican leadership’s image while they navigate a precarious political landscape. For Mexico’s political elite, it’s a validation in desperate times, as they fear punitive measures from the U.S. that could destabilize their power. As Rubio stated, it’s “a big win for them.” The current relationship between the two countries is fraught with history. Rubio’s claim comes at a time…
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer recently engaged with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and Commerce Minister Li Chenggang in Madrid. They unveiled a framework agreement regarding TikTok, the app that has captivated millions of American users. However, this development transcends TikTok. It signifies America’s strategy to leverage this app in a broader context of trade negotiations and national security concerns. The core of the issue lies in data protection, algorithmic influence, and foreign ownership. As TikTok becomes a focal point, it embodies a critical turning point in negotiations with China. When I was part of…
In a disturbing turn of events, Charlie Kirk’s assassination has raised serious questions, particularly regarding a campaign launched by the far-left website Jezebel. The site reportedly hired witches to cast a curse on Kirk just days before his tragic death. Megyn Kelly, in a recent update, shared that both Charlie and his wife, Erika, were significantly unsettled upon hearing about this threat, especially Erika. As devout Christians, they took this seriously, even inviting a friend over to pray for Charlie’s safety.
