Elon Musk visited Central Intelligence Agency headquarters on Tuesday to discuss his government efficiency program.
The visit was the first for Musk since the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is charged with rooting out wasteful federal spending and shrinking the government.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe who invited Musk, posted a photo of him and the tech billionaire at the spy agency headquarters. "Had a great visit and meeting with @ElonMusk to discuss his ideas and progress so far in making our government more efficient!" Radcliffe wrote. "I look forward to working with Elon and his team
The abrupt withdrawal last year of President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee, followed rapidly by his replacement with Vice President Kamala Harris, irked many voters left out by the process. Yet social media seemed to ooze with enthusiasm and Gen Z-friendly hipster appeal. Influencers flooded the web with neon-matcha green pro-Harris videos synced to beats from singer Charli XCX's album “Brat” released last year. The poppy rave videos, gushed journalists, showed that Harris embodied the confidently independent "brat" vibe conveyed by the music. Social media pages bubbled with memes celebrating Harris as the voice
Argentina’s poverty rate dropped from 52.9 percent to 38.1 percent during the second half of 2024, according to new data by the National Institute of Statistics and Census of Argentina (INDEC).
Local outlets reported that INDEC, a decentralized entity within the Argentine Economic Ministry, observed a nationwide decrease in poverty and indigence (extreme poverty) rates during the last six months of 2024. During that time period, poverty fell 14.8 percentage points and 8.2 percent of the population was documented living below the extreme poverty line.
Argentina’s Radio Mitre stated that the government of President Javier Milei managed to improve
Val Kilmer, the Juilliard graduate with leading man looks known for taking on roles that went far beyond his appearance, has died. His his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed to the New York Times that the actor had passed away after battling pneumonia. He was 65.
Kilmer’s early films included comedies like Top Secret! (1984) and Real Genius (1985), as well as breakout role as LT Tom “Iceman” Kazansky opposite Tom Cruise in Top Gun (1986). That was followed by the fantasy film Willow (1988). His breakout as a leading man came with his mesmerizing, leather-clad portrayal of Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s The Doors.
A 63-year-old man in Bucks County, Pennsylvania was arrested for allegedly throwing screws and nails in the driveways of Trump supporters.
Alaric Dalberg was arrested on charges of “harassment, disorderly conduct, and related offenses on allegations that claim on several occasions he threw nails and screws around parked vehicles belonging to individuals who voiced or showed support for President Donald Trump,” reports NBC Philadelphia.Police add that Dalberg allegedly threw nails and screws in parking spots where he merely believed “Trumpers” might park.
Per court documents, on Oct. 30, 2024, Dalberg is alleged to have thrown “nails and screws from his vehicle as he passed by a home” that displayed several
Justice is coming for the radical leftists orchestrating the despicable attacks on Tesla behind the scenes with severe prison sentences on the table.
As The Gateway Pundit has reported, several attacks on Tesla owners, cars, and dealerships have been happening across the country in recent weeks.
During one incident, a disgruntled Musk and Trump hater accidentally set himself on fire while torching Tesla charging stations in South Carolina. Another attack involved an individual setting several Tesla vehicles ablaze two weeks ago in Las Vegas.
If you’re a Democrat these days, it must be tough knowing who to trust. We saw Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA) team up with Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY) to nuke Joe Biden’s reelection effort and force him out of the race, we saw actor George Clooney write an op-ed calling for Ole Joe to step down, and we saw Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY) stay as far away as he could from the then-commander-in-chief.These are all longtime friends and supporters of the former president, but when the going got tough, the weak got going.
Update: Democrat Susan Crawford is the projected winner.
Several counties in Wisconsin ran out of ballots during a highly contested state Supreme Court race.
SEVEN voting sites had ZERO ballots due to “unprecedented turnout.”
The GOP encouraged voters in Wisconsin to stay in line. (X) Polls already closed in Wisconsin in the state Supreme Court race that pits Republican Brad Schimel against far left Democrat Susan Crawford.
The race will decide the future of Wisconsin including election laws,
President Trump Celebrates Passage of
Wisconsin Voter ID Amendment as ‘Big
Win for Republicans’ replies
Wisconsin Voter ID Amendment as ‘Big
Win for Republicans’ replies
President Donald Trump lauded the passage of an amendment in Wisconsin on Tuesday that will enshrine voter ID into the state constitution.
“VOTER I.D. JUST APPROVED IN WISCONSIN ELECTION. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT,” the 45th and 47th president said in a post to Truth Social. “This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT. IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!” he added.
Liberal judge Susan Crawford has won Wisconsin's high-stakes state Supreme Court race, beating her conservative opponent Brad Schimel late Tuesday evening, according to NBC News and CNN.
Her win comes despite billionaire Elon Musk pouring around $20 million into the Badger State race in attempts to see Schimel win and Crawford defeated. The entrepreneur had protested what he called "activist judges" and sought to reinforce President Donald Trump and Republican's popularity. With spending on both sides combined, this race broke records for the country's most expensive court race. The final tally could surpass $100 million.
WAUKESHA, Wis. - The liberal-leaning candidate is projected to win a high-profile and historically expensive election in Wisconsin on Tuesday, protecting progressive majority control of the battleground state's Supreme Court, which is likely to rule on crucial issues like congressional redistricting, voting and labor rights, and abortion. The Associated Press projects that Dane County Circuit Court Judge Susan Crawford will defeat Brad Schimel, a former state attorney general who currently serves as a state circuit court judge in Waukesha County. Schimel, the conservative-aligned candidate in the race, was endorsed by President Donald Trump.
The New York Times published two articles {HERE and HERE} revealing: 1) that U.S. military boots are on the ground in Ukraine. (2) The U.S. military is actively involved in the ongoing targeting of strikes into Russia. (3) The CIA is operating in Ukraine and conducting targeted strikes into the Russian Federation mainland.New York Times – […] [F]or nearly three years before Mr. Trump’s return to power, the United States and Ukraine were joined in an extraordinary partnership of intelligence, strategy, planning and technology whose evolution and inner workings have been known only to a small circle of American and allied officials.

The Democratic Party’s approval rating remains at a low point, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released to The Hill on Monday.
Thirty-seven percent of voters said they approved of the party in March, just slightly up from 36 percent in February. The latest approval ratings for the party are the lowest since March of 2018.
Thirty-four percent of surveyed Democratic voters and 43 percent of surveyed Black voters, a key constituency within the party, said they disapprove of the party.
“Democrats continue to be seen as out of the mainstream. Their ratings are at record lows and, they will have real problems
Voters across Wisconsin went to the polls Tuesday to vote in a variety of races, but nothing was more contentious and more costly than the state Supreme Court race, which will determine the balance of power in the court.
Liberal Susan Crawford and conservative Brad Schimel competed in the most expensive state court race in the nation's history. The other statewide race is for state superintendent. Incumbent Jill Underly was challenged by Brittany Kinser, a former principal and special education teacher. Underly is backed by Democrats and Kinser by Republicans.
Republican State Senator Randy Fine has defeated Democrat Josh Weil in a closely watched special Florida congressional election to fill the seat held by National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.
The result dashes Democratic hopes of pulling what would have been a stunning upset in a district that Donald Trump carried by 30 points in last November's presidential election. The narrow margin of Fine's victory on Tuesday, however, is likely to leave Republicans uneasy about their prospects in next year's national mid-term congressional elections.
Democrat Weil made waves by raising more than $12m in campaign donations during this campaign, compared to the approximately $1m brought
House Republicans can breathe a small sigh of relief as they've held onto the House seat vacated by former Rep. Matt Gaetz in Florida's special election.
The GOP pulled out a narrow win in the House in November, hanging onto the majority with 222 seats. The good news is that Donald Trump also won the presidential election. The bad news is that he then needed to stock his Cabinet — and that meant tapping several GOP members of Congress, including Gaetz (initially selected by Trump to serve as U.S. Attorney General) and now-National Security Advisor Mike Waltz (CD-6), which further narrowed the GOP majority.
Gaetz had won reelection
The daughter of failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is opting out of graduate school to stand against a lack of support for student protests.
In a video she posted on TikTok, Hope Walz on Sunday laid out her reasons for the decision, Fox News reported.
The young woman stated:
I applied for one school. I kind of had my heart set on it. That’s what I wanted to do. I am not going to name the institution. But given recent events, I am not going to give my money, go into debt for, or support institutions that don’t support their students and the right
If there is any doubt where the left’s sympathies lie regarding criminal justice, news released today regarding the fate of an accused murderer should settle it for good.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson previously reported, United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot in the chest in December outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan in what was a targeted attack. His killer, Luigi Mangione, was apprehended on December 9 at McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, following a nationwide manhunt.
A vigilant employee recognized Mangione, leading to his arrest. A Manhattan grand jury indicted him a week later on 11 criminal counts,
By now, you know that I’m a big fan of Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) and his unmatched ability to dismantle weak arguments with his signature Southern wit. On Monday, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, he was at the top of his game, systematically exposing the complete lack of legal authority for district judges to issue universal injunctions — a favorite tactic of the left to block President Trump’s agenda.
Questioning Assistant Attorney General nominee Brett Shumate, Kennedy systematically dismantled any justification for these sweeping judicial orders.
"Mr. Shumate, what's a universal injunction?" Kennedy asked.
If it weren’t for the fact that it is Democrats doing it, it would almost be shocking that there is so much opposition to the efforts of Mr. Trump, through DOGE, to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. What person, in their right mind, could possibly be against having THEIR tax dollars used wisely, not wasted on frivolous, unnecessary projects, or just flat being abused by unscrupulous politicians and bureaucrats? Even Bernie Sanders, back in 2008, is on tape saying that government waste should be excised. Why such hostility now?
If Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) hopes his all-night theatrics on Monday will be remembered, thanks to one of his staff members, they will be.
Booker’s staff member, Kevin A. Batts, was arrested Monday evening for carrying a pistol on Capitol grounds moments before Booker began an all-night speech on the Senate floor protesting President Donald Trump’s America First agenda, NOTUS reported.
A NOTUS reporter witnessed the staffer, Kevin A. Batts, being arrested Monday at 6:29 p.m. Eastern as Booker prepared to begin his speech around 7:00. “He was handcuffed and placed in the backseat of a [U.S. Capitol Police (USCP)] vehicle outside the Senate-side of the Capitol,” according to that report.
Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC are deliberately omitting news of a suspected arson attack against the Republican Party headquarters in Albuquerque, New Mexico from their flagship morning and evening newscasts.
Early on Sunday morning, Albuquerque Fire Rescue responded to reports of a fire at the New Mexico GOP headquarters. According to reports, there was fire damage to the front entryway and smoke damage “throughout the building.” The words “ICE=KKK” also had been spray painted on the side of the structure.
It has probably been said about Americans before, during different periods in our history, that the country has never been more politically divided. We are in an era where you might get uninvited to holiday dinners by your left-leaning family members or "unfriended" and completely ghosted by your liberal friends if you happen to be a conservative or, worse yet, a Trump supporter. While we watch unhinged leftists destroy Tesla dealerships and even attack individual Tesla owners simply for the cars they drive, this current time has to be about the worst it has ever been. But in the midst of all that, on Monday night, an unlikely
Vice-President JD Vance is always ready to set leftists straight when they attempt to smear him and the rest of Team Trump. And today, he put on a masterclass performance upon being alerted to a massive hatchet job designed to sabotage the Trump Administration’s’ efforts to deport violent illegal aliens.
The Atlantic, a dishonest far-left publication, ran a sob story Monday night about the Trump Administration supposedly admitting it ‘mistakenly’ sent a ‘peaceful’ Maryland father to El Salvador’s infamous mega-prison CECOT. The publication further claimed that the man was falsely accused of being a member of MS-13, but
