Charlamagne tha God didn't sound like he was asking permission. The Breakfast Club co-host heard former President Barack Hussein Obama mock President Donald Trump as tougher from a distance than face to face, then pushed the charge back across the table."So I just didn't understand what he meant unless he was talking about the kiki they had at the [Jimmy] Carter funeral. But to me, that goes both ways. You kikiing in his face too, 'cause by the way, Trump has been saying wild stuff about you, bro, been saying wild stuff about you and your wife,
While there are certainly a number of heinous acts that have taken place over the years that have resulted in a number of casualties, we often hear about other “activities” that were planned by dangerous types, which could have been far more catastrophic.
That includes a planned “event” that five individuals were planning to unleash during the recent UFC Freedom 250 event that took place at the White House earlier this month. The event drew a number of fans and celebrities, and also had several high-profile figures in attendance. And some felt this was the perfect spot to plan a terrifying incident.
A far-left National Assembly member has sparked backlash after she gloated over the demographic decline of the native white French population in favour of immigrant groups, as the LFI continues to embrace Great Replacement ideology. During a debate in the National Assembly this week on legislation intended to crack down on fraudulent or arranged marriages, MP Clémence Guetté of the radical leftist La France Insoumise (France in Rebellion/LFI) party, declared that alleged efforts to preserve the French ethnicity have failed.
Democrats are once again calling for the Supreme Court to be “expanded” and “reformed” after the high court affirmed Thursday in a 6-3 decision that “temporary” means “temporary.”
The Supreme Court upheld President Donald Trump’s efforts to revoke temporary protected status for foreigners in the country. The ruling came in Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot. Trump tried to revoke TPS for roughly 350,000 Haitian nationals living in the country, but U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes issued a ruling in February blocking the president from doing so. Reyes justified her usurpation of executive authority by claiming George Washington would have supported TPS.
As we approach our country’s 250th anniversary, the Adams quote above remains an enduring summary of what the Founders envisioned for We the People. Yet the long march through our institutions has sought to produce a different kind of people, characterized by President Obama’s pledge to “fundamentally transform the United States of America.” As a professor at a small American college, I can attest to the fruits of this effort. In my less optimistic moments, I observe my students doom-scrolling before class and struggling to read (or pronounce) Plato and Descartes in class. When they do engage,
As we reported, the U.S. struck back after the Iranian regime violated the ceasefire, firing on a cargo ship exiting the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, as well as coastal radar sites, after Iran hit the M/V Ever Lovely. The ship was carrying Qatari oil, and was headed to the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates. But apparently, Iran hasn't learned its lesson, because it then fired drones at Bahrain. Bahrain said it was the "sole responsibility of Tehran for undermining peace efforts."
The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council condemned the attack, terming it "treacherous."
Two of the “Team Algae” demonstrators photographed in front of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool wearing pro-algae tee shirts earlier this month, were also involved in loud and disruptive pro-abortion demonstrations outside of Justice Brett Kavanaugh home in 2022.
Pro-abort agitators terrorized the entire neighborhood for weeks after the Supreme Court’s draft majority opinion overturning of Roe v. Wade was leaked to the media.
A neighbor told Fox News in June 2022 that the agitators would show up at approximately 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
“It’s a horrific experience,” the neighbor told Fox.
Labour has urged British farmers to stop raising cattle and grow lentils instead as part of a Net Zero push. GB News has more.
The Government published its highly-anticipated ‘Farming Roadmap’ on Wednesday, outlining its long-term vision for Britain’s agriculture sector.
The 71-page document outlined the Government’s intention to help British farmers wind down high-emission farming – including cattle – and move towards “growing oilseeds and pulses” for planet-based products.
“Farmers will play a critical role in delivering this transition by adopting practices that reduce emissions while sustaining productive, commercially viable businesses,” the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) wrote.
President Trump on Saturday announced he nominated Lance Schroyer to be the next ICE Director.
Lance Schroyer is a former Oklahoma State Trooper and US Marine.
Schroyer will replace Acting ICE Director Dave Venturella.
It has been 11 years since the Department of Homeland Security has had a Senate-confirmed ICE Director. Trump’s full statement Todd Lyons, the previous Acting ICE Director, submitted his resignation earlier this year to DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin.:
The Knicks have fired off a “cease and desist” letter to America-hating state Senate candidate Aber Kawas, threatening to slap her with a lawsuit for ripping a page out of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s playbook and using the NBA champs’ iconic logo to boost her campaign, The Post has learned.
Kawas – a Mamdani-backed, Democratic Socialist of America member who once described 9/11 as a terror attack that a “couple of people did” – tried to win over voters by using a doctored version of the Knicks logo on social media posts and campaign stickers throughout her primary run,
Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., told the Daily Signal that a recent campaign poll of his found many of his constituents view the rise of “Islamification” and Islamic rule as a top concern.
As stated by Fine, respondents prioritized the issue above topics such as abortion, health care, and the conflict involving Iran.
“I had to fight with my pollster, because no one ever asks about the rise of radical Islam in America, and I wanted it placed in my survey,” Fine said. “It was one of the largest issues people rated. My constituents believe it concerned them more than the war in Iran, abortion, and more.”

Companies have been dialing back their LGBTQ+ Pride messaging since President Donald Trump took office last year, and analysts say that contributes to a less divisive marketplace.
“This is both a market correction and a cultural correction,” Allen Mendenhall, a senior adviser for The Heritage Foundation’s Free Enterprise Initiative, told the Daily Signal. “After years of performative corporate activism, companies are rediscovering that their customers—particularly families—do not want firms serving as vehicles for ideological agendas.”
“Businesses are increasingly rejecting pressure from activist investors and corporate bureaucracies in favor of listening to consumers and respecting longstanding moral and religious convictions,” he added. “Top-down cultural engineering is losing its grip.”
Eight North Carolina women pleaded guilty in a $25 million Covid fraud scheme.
And as they say, your name is your destiny.
Two of the defendants are named “Leach” and “Swindell.”
According to federal prosecutors a Robeson County woman who owned a tax return preparation business conspired with others to prepare false tax returns claiming fraudulent refunds based on Covid tax credits.
Seven other co-conspirators were arrested and charged for preparing federal tax returns for clients. Per the DOJ:A Robeson County woman who was the owner of a North Carolina tax return preparation business pleaded guilty to conspiring to prepare false returns claiming fraudulent refunds based on COVID-19 tax credits,

As readers may recall, in recent years, after announcing a rare bit of activity from yours truly, I have generally observed that I am engaging in such against the advice of my doctors. So it was that I spent over a month in Ukraine, venturing hither and yon and trying to stay one step ahead of the bombs and drones. I was thinking, since that went so well, I'd rest up for a few weeks and maybe head to the Persian Gulf. Alas, that will not now be happening.
The decisive primary sweep by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s left-wing comrades gave Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez such an ego boost that Democratic insiders predict it could spur a White House bid in 2028.
The “Squad’s” queen bee may ditch her long-anticipated plot to unseat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for bigger game after three radical Mamdani-backed insurgents running for House seats on Tuesday defeated old-guard Dems, pushing the party even further left, the insiders said.
“New York’s clean sweep was a political earthquake that shows voters generally want to shake up the system,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

The formula was sinister and simple. Trump announces a new immigration policy. That cues progressive activist groups to race to court and file a lawsuit. A friendly federal activist judge somewhere in California, Hawaii, or D.C. slaps an injunction on the policy, and just like that, everything grinds to a screeching halt. The left is hoping that months drag on and turn into years, letting the lawsuits pile up, and hopefully the policy dies a slow, lonely death before the American people ever get to see if it works.
This was the Left’s weaponized political strategy, and for a while, it worked. It stalled Trump’s agenda
Multiple countries have proposed ‘digital service taxes’ which are taxes on the domestic use of American tech platforms like META, Twitter, Amazon etc. EU countries are planning to tax U.S. based tech platforms for the revenues generated by operations within EU countries.
President Trump announces retaliatory action via reciprocity taxes, in essence leveraging the entirety of the U.S. consumer market, if the EU proceed with this new tax revenue scheme against U.S. companies. Canada was on the cusp of a digital services tax last year when Trump made a similar announcement forcing Canada to abandon the plan.
The Democratic Socialists of America have adopted a strategy to exploit the Democratic Party’s ballot access to boost their own candidates at the expense of incumbents, a plan which achieved remarkable success in New York City this week.
The victory of two DSA-backed candidates and one former member delivered a shock to the Democratic Party establishment, which has begun to call for better policing of the party’s primaries against candidates who are only seeking to exploit it, not join it.
“I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination,”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is pointedly warning leftist nonprofits engaged in fraud, violence, improper politics, foreign collusion or terrorism that they could face penalties far more severe than just losing their tax-exempt status, including criminal prosecutions of their officers and trustees and the forfeiture of their financial assets.
"Nonprofit status is a privilege," Bessent said Friday night in a wide-ranging interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. "It is a privilege, the right to be exempt from paying taxes, being able to take donations that are tax-deductible, and have private citizens apply that against their taxes.
In a video message, Mamdani criticized the 6-3 decision from the Supreme Court, stating that it “is putting so many people’s lives in jeopardy,” adding that New Yorkers stand “in solidarity with all of those who are concerned” by the ruling.
In his video message, Mamdani also stated that it was “cruel” to have “people who frankly taught the world about freedom, have their own freedom be put in jeopardy,” the New York Post reported.
“Many of you know, this is a city of eight and a half million people, more than three million of us were born elsewhere —
California's lunatic "wealth tax," it seems, is to be on the 2026 ballot. It's one of the dumbest ideas in the history of taxation, advocated and planned by some of the most economically ignorant people to ever turn oxygen into CO2, which doesn't mean plenty of lefties won't vote for it. The once-Golden State's impeccably coiffed Governor Gavin Newsom, with a note of panic in his virtual voice, wants Californians to know he's voting "no," and why he wants them to vote against the measure as well. It's a little late to be worried about that now; this has been a key part of the Great Sorting,
Rahm Emanuel knows his way around Democrat politics. He was chief of staff in the Obama White House and served as mayor of Chicago. During a recent appearance on CNN, he spoke about the DSA victories in New York City this week and he made a very good point.
These wins didn’t really help the Democrats to grow. They only took blue seats and made them darker blue.
There are plenty of reasons for conservatives to dislike Rahm Emanuel, but he is exactly right about this.
Did Angela Merkel Work for the Stasi? Officially, no.... She has repeatedly stated that she refused recruitment attempts, notably in the late 1970s when applying for an academic position.
Unofficially, however, the extreme and ongoing protection of her Stasi-related files raises legitimate and troubling questions. In March 2026, the Berlin Administrative Court upheld the Federal Archives' refusal to grant access to any documents concerning her, even to researchers. This decision shields one of modern Europe's most consequential leaders from full historical scrutiny -- decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
By statute, the approval process of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a new drug. If both requirements are met, the new drug is approved. The process usually takes roughly a decade.
Most people would reasonably assume the lengthy approval process is due to the need to prove a new drug is safe for use by patients. But the years-long lag between a drug’s submission for approval and its arrival on the market often stems from the process of assessing its effectiveness.
The easiest way to think about it is this: determining safety protects patients; determining effectiveness protects consumers.
