In May, The Gateway Pundit reported that President Trump urged Congress to quickly defund National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). This call to action came after a House Oversight DOGE subcommittee hearing highlighted PBS and NPR’s obvious bias and controversial content. By July, the Republican-controlled Senate approved a Trump-backed rescission bill that cuts nearly $9 billion in federal spending, including a complete defunding of both organizations. “Don’t miss this opportunity to rid our country of this giant SCAM, both being arms of the Radical Left Democrat Party,” Trump urged Republican leaders. This sentiment reflects growing discontent…

The recent appointment of Shabana Mahmood as the UK’s new Home Secretary has sparked intense debate and concern. This comes in the wake of a significant cabinet reshuffle by Labour leader Keir Starmer, who is struggling to stabilize a government that many view as in chaos. With 12 major changes in his cabinet, alarm bells are ringing within the party, particularly following the resignation of Deputy PM Angela Rayner over tax evasion allegations. Mahmood’s ascent to her role is significant for several reasons. She is a British politician of Pakistani descent who has been labeled by critics as an “Islamic…

In recent developments, Andrew Bates, a key spokesperson for former President Joe Biden, has drawn attention for his remarks regarding Biden’s underwhelming debate performance from June 2024. During a lengthy closed-door session with the House Oversight Committee, Bates characterized the fallout from the debate as “overblown.” Insights from a source with knowledge of Bates’ testimony reveal that he came to terms with Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race after reviewing polling data from the week of Biden’s exit. Bates, who was deeply entrenched in Biden’s communications team throughout his presidency, dismissed concerns about the president’s age. He referred…
Andrew Bates, a prominent aide to President Biden, found himself in the spotlight on Capitol Hill, facing the House Oversight Committee. His appearance, prompted by a subpoena from Chairman James Comer, centered around allegations regarding the president’s mental health decline. Bates’s testimony offered insight into the challenges and scrutiny surrounding the Biden administration. As he arrived for questioning, Bates refrained from directly addressing whether President Biden was indeed in charge of the White House, a question the committee aimed to clarify.

The U.S. military is ramping up its operations in the Caribbean with the deployment of 10 F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico. This move is part of a larger strategy to confront drug cartels that plague the region and threaten American communities. The jets are expected to arrive soon, likely by late next week, and will engage in operations targeting specific narco-terrorist groups. This deployment aligns with President Trump’s commitment made on Inauguration Day to dismantle narcotics networks that have created havoc across the United States. The urgency of this initiative is underscored by recent developments, including the Pentagon’s condemnation…

In Quebec, officials are moving to ban public prayer in an initiative that some perceive as targeting Muslims while affecting Christians too. Premier François Legault emphasized his concerns last year, stating, “Seeing people on their knees in the streets, praying, I think we have to ask ourselves the question. I don’t think it’s something we should see.” The push comes as Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge plans to confront this issue in the upcoming fall session, declaring, “The rise of street prayers is a serious and sensitive issue in Quebec.” The backdrop to this proposal is the increasing visibility of Islamic…

On August 28, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall for imported cocktail shrimp with a concerning warning about potential contamination. The 6-ounce shrimp packages from AquaStar Corp might have been tainted with cesium-137, a radioactive material. The FDA described cesium-137 as a byproduct of nuclear processes, raising alarms about the safety of these products. A total of approximately 26,400 packages, imported from Indonesia, were flagged in this recall.

Republican leaders in Virginia are voicing their frustrations over a significant political maneuver by state Democrats. Last week, Democrats blocked 14 appointments made by GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin to various university boards. This action escalates the total number of blocked appointments to 22 since June, signaling a striking escalation in partisan tensions just months ahead of the gubernatorial election. The blockage aligns with broader trends in higher education, where the Trump administration has urged Virginia universities to reconsider their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Such political dynamics led George Mason University to retain its president, a staunch defender of…
The recent immigration raid at the Hyundai electric car battery plant in Ellabell, Georgia, has drawn attention to the ambitious deal struck between U.S. officials and Hyundai. During a trip to South Korea in May 2022, President Joe Biden announced this partnership, promising it would generate “more than 8,000 new American jobs.” However, the recent federal enforcement action raised questions about workforce integrity and legal compliance at this site. The raid, executed by the Trump administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), led to the arrest of hundreds of illegal aliens at the plant, among a larger group of 475 individuals…
A Department of State employee has received a 48-month prison sentence for conspiring to disclose U.S. national defense information to individuals he believed were associated with the Chinese government.

The Justice Department’s press release stated, “Schena held a Top Secret security clearance and had access to information up to the Secret level.” By February 2025, Schena had allegedly photographed and attempted to transmit multiple documents marked as “SECRET.” Surveillance…
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett recently provided insights during an interview at Lincoln Center ahead of her forthcoming memoir, “Listening to the Law.” Though she had prepared for protests reminiscent of her colleague Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing, Barrett’s own process unfolded quietly due to COVID-19 precautions, leading her to describe that period as “very awkward.” This candid remark elicited laughter from the audience, setting a more laid-back tone than the typical courtroom atmosphere. Barrett, at 53, was open about her family life and faith, emphasizing the “indispensable human element to judging.” She highlighted how her colleagues were quick to…
During a recent hearing at the Senate Finance Committee, Vice President J.D. Vance came to the defense of Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after a tough round of questioning from Democratic senators. Vance, expressing his frustration, took to social media, proclaiming, “When I see all these senators trying to lecture and ‘gotcha’ Bobby Kennedy today, all I can think is: You all support off-label, untested, and irreversible hormonal ‘therapies’ for children, mutilating our kids and enriching big pharma. You’re full of sh** and everyone knows it.” The tension in the room was palpable as senators…
On September 5, 2025, President Donald Trump signed his 200th Executive Order, marking a pivotal moment by restoring the name “Department of War” to what was formerly known as the Department of Defense. This significant action harkens back to the original title used when the Department was established in 1789, which underwent reorganization and renaming after World War II by President Harry Truman in 1947. Reflecting on the historical context, Trump stated, “It’s a much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now.” His remarks indicate a desire to return to a name that emphasizes…

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently announced the launch of “Deportation Depot,” a new facility designed to hold illegal immigrants being repatriated. This comes on the heels of a significant legal victory, as a federal judge ruled that “Alligator Alcatraz” can continue its operations, despite attempts to shut it down.

Located at the Baker Correctional Institution, which…
