One of the areas where Sharia law appears to be making inroads into American society is through the U.S. financial system.
Under Sharia, or Islamic, law, charging interest (“riba”) on loans or earning interest on deposits is forbidden for even observant Muslims living in America, a strange anachronism in a country where interest- and credit-based finance is a cornerstone of the economy.
According to Sharia-compliant fatwas, or rulings, recently issued by the Fiqh Council of North America, Muslims are prohibited even from investing in the stocks of any companies whose interest-based debt exceeds 30% of their market capitalization, or whose interest-based deposits exceed 30% of the market cap of their total equity.
Non-whites are set to become the majority for the first time in the US by 2050, a situation mirrored in up to 16 states — including New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, according to new census data.
The expected transformation reflects astonishing demographic changes projected to sweep across America by between 2040 and 2050, fueled by international and internal migration, as well as falling birthrates, the US Census Bureau figures show.
In 1980, the US was 80% white, but that figure is expected to drop to 47% by 2050 and 44% by 2060. At the state level, some of the shifts are even more striking.
For years, Democrats and their allies in the media swore Joe Biden was sharp as a tack, fully capable, and absolutely fine. Then came the June 2024 debate, and that story collapsed in real time before millions of viewers. The fallout was so bad that Biden's own party forced him off the ticket. He dropped out, spent the rest of his term below the radar, and has spent his post-presidency trying to rehabilitate his image. Now, that effort has taken a new and telling turn. Biden filed a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking to block the Justice Department from releasing roughly

As we reported. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton won the Republican primary for the Senate seat against Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).
Cornyn has held the seat for 23 years. President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton, and in the end, Paxton prevailed, winning by 27 percentage points. Unlike Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Cornyn's concession was classy. He said he would do what he could to support the Republican ticket and Paxton. Meanwhile, Paxton said he would support Trump's SAVE America Act, one of Trump's biggest priorities to ensure election security.
Trump praised Paxton and Cornyn. He also had a new nickname for Paxton's opponent, Democrat James Talarico. Once you see it,
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is reportedly battling thyroid cancer, has been appointed by President Donald Trump to serve on an advisory panel focused on Artificial Intelligence policy.
Trump dismissed Bondi as attorney general in April, and she will now return to the White House to serve on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), according to Axios. She received a thyroid cancer diagnosis shortly after she left the Department of Justice, the outlet reported, citing an anonymous source.
Bondi’s role was announced by billionaire David Sacks, co-chair of the PCAST.

Americans traveling in Africa who are diagnosed with or suspected of having Ebola will not be brought back to the U.S. for treatment, according to a new report.
The current plan responding to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo calls for a facility to be set up in Kenya where Americans could be put in quarantine, according to The Wall Street Journal. The report cited sources it did not name.
The outlet said the facility will target “Americans who are exposed to or at high risk of testing positive for the virus in the region, as well as Americans who test positive.” Members of the U.S. Public Health Service
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara has resigned following an investigation into O'Hara's behavior, which found that he had interfered with a previous investigation and was facing pending discipline because of it. With O'Hara's ouster, Katie Blackwell will now run the department. She was caught lying during the Derek Chauvin trial.O'Hara was given a written reprimand from Mayor Jacob Frey. [snip] According to Alpha News, more than 30 complaints were filed against O'Hara during his three years as Chief. ABC News reports that 17 complaints against him remain open, and investigations into those complaints will continue even though O'Hara has resigned.
Now that Mamdani has passed his "balanced" budget, he's off to the races with implementing the parts of his socialist agenda over which he has control.
He's been stymied in some things, such as providing free buses, but has the power to do others, such as put more restrictions on the police in order to give free rein to the antisemites who are upping their harassment of Jews.
He's dumping money into his ridiculous city-run grocery stores, which are expensive but entirely symbolic in a city with millions of citizens who struggle to get around due to congestion;
With anti-Israel sentiment rising in virtually every American institution — from academia to Congress to Sesame Street — must Jewish Americans soon start worrying about the medical treatment they’ll receive at doctors’ offices and hospitals across the country? A Jewish doctor in recent testimony to Congress and in an interview with the Jerusalem Post is warning that such a moment may already have arrived.
Dr. Jacob Agronin, a cardiology fellow at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, says that antisemitism is pervasive in U.S. healthcare and medical unions. Agronin is one of the 37,000 resident and fellow physicians represented by the
Albert Einstein wrote the following in a letter to his son in the 1950s about American politics: "There’s something amazing about America’s democracy, it’s got a gyroscope, and just when you think it’s going to go off the cliff, it rights itself."
Some 70 years later, we see that gyroscope is once again at work.
As the communists who cosplay as Democrats continue to push "woke" codswallop down the throats of any American still too daft to recognize cultural Marxism, even as a bearded lady showers next to their tween daughter, many Americans living on the West Coast — including those who hopscotch to work through hypodermic needles and human
While Americans spent Memorial Day honoring the fallen, New Jersey Democrats turned an ICE detention facility in Newark into the scene of a political circus. What was billed as a protest outside Delaney Hall quickly spiraled into chaos, complete with screaming activists, clashes with law enforcement, and a sitting U.S. senator getting pepper-sprayed in the middle of the mayhem.
And while the media was using footage of Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) getting his eyes flushed out after being pepper-sprayed to push their preferred narrative, Greg Gutfeld wasn’t buying into the propaganda.
Pundit Bill O’Reilly recently said he was “surprised” that ex-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lost to Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 New York City mayoral race.
“I thought,” he told Cuomo during a May 14 discussion, “you were going to wax them [your competitors].”
Do you know when I realized Mamdani would win?
The very first time I saw him on TV.
No, it wasn’t that Mamdani was promising to rob Peter blind to pay Paul and then send both home to rent-frozen apartments on a free bus. It was that I understand the Luciferian Beauty Principle.
Now, you can take the following as metaphor if you’re not a theist. In Christian theology,
Luxury sports car maker Ferrari has unveiled its first fully electric car - the $640,000 (£474,320) Luce.
The new model departs from the look of typical Ferraris as the Italian brand's first ever five-seater, created in collaboration with the LoveFrom agency founded by former Apple design chief Sir Jony Ive.
Responses on social media to the launch ranged from describing it as "straight to the junkyard trash" to an "absolute masterclass in design". On Tuesday, the firm's shares fell more than 8% on the Milan stock market and by over 5% in New York.
Supercar rivals like Lamborghini and Porsche have scaled back on their EV plans due to poor demand
For many years the Soviet Union, and then Russia, financed the environmental movement in the United States. Their purpose was to suppress American production of oil and gas, and they succeeded to a considerable degree, to their own great benefit. Today, we are in the midst of another kind of race with Communist China–the race to develop superior systems of artificial intelligence. The Chinese Communist Party knows that if it wins this race, it will contribute greatly to its dreams of world domination, while if it loses, China, with its rapidly shrinking population, could be on the way to the garbage dump of history. So the stakes are enormous.
President Trump’s surprise endorsement catapulted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to a landslide victory in Tuesday’s Republican Senate primary runoff election.
As has been the case throughout the 2026 midterm primary season, Trump’s stamp of approval remains critical for GOP candidates in local and statewide elections.
Here are four takeaways from the contests in the Lone Star State.After coming in second place in the preliminary March 3 primary, Paxton was propelled by the president’s endorsement — defeating incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) by a stunning 27-point margin (63.8% to 36.2%) in the runoff.
Spencer Pratt, a candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, is accusing incumbent Karen Bass of violating election law by electioneering within 100 feet of a ballot box.
In a video posted to Bass’ social media, she is seen giving a speech to an audience of supporters and casting her ballot while being cheered on. Pratt responded to Bass’ post on X, stating that his lawyers had filed a formal complaint.
“Karen Bass just violated election law here. She is so accustomed to breaking the law with no accountability, she even filmed herself doing it. Well,

Florida’s Case Against California on
Illegal Alien Drivers replies
When the Supreme Court refused to allow Florida to file a complaint against California and Washington for extending driver’s licenses to illegal aliens who cannot read English signs, Justice Clarence Thomas took his colleagues to task.
“I respectfully dissent from the court’s denial of Florida’s motion because we cannot refuse to hear suits between states,” Thomas wrote in a dissent joined by Justice Samuel Alito.
Thomas recounted the story of Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien who failed a driver’s test 10 times in Washington and once in California, but who obtained a commercial driver’s license from each state. Singh, a native of India who had crossed the Mexican border illegally,
California gubernatorial candidate and former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra's relationship with the Mexican government doesn't run through one nonprofit. It runs through many.
Newly detailed investigative reporting from the Government Accountability Institute tracks Becerra's long-standing, documented relationships with several of the most politically powerful migrant nonprofits in the country, including those with deep, operational ties to the Mexican government.

Texas state Sen. Mayes Middleton defeated GOP Rep. Chip Roy Tuesday in a special runoff election for the Republican nomination for Texas attorney general, the Associated Press has projected.
Roy and Middleton advanced to a runoff election in March after neither candidate received the majority of votes. Middleton led Roy in March with 39% of the vote to Roy's 31%.
Middleton advanced to the November general election with 55.7% of the vote compared to Roy's 44.3%. The post is currently held by Ken Paxton, who is forgoing reelection to run for Senate. Middleton will now face Democrat Nathan Johnson later this year.
A House Democrat called his party’s presumptive Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner’s personal history “disqualifying” on Monday, highlighting the difficulties Democrats may face in a race that could determine the balance of power in Washington.
“I think it would be a mistake for the Democratic Party to think that Graham Platner’s brand of the Democratic Party is what wins us durable majorities throughout this country,” said Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass, the day Platner appeared at a rally alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.Platner is likely to become the Democrat nominee after his main opponent, Gov. Janet Mills, dropped out of the primary,
I’ve said it in pieces on my show for several weeks now: between Memorial Day and July 4.
That is the window.
That is the calendar stretch in 2026 when President Trump needs to land a clear and convincing win on Iran. Not a slogan. Not a “framework.” Not a diplomat’s sentence with nine clauses and no verbs. A win ordinary Americans can understand.Because November is coming.
And politics, unlike cable news, does not wait around for experts to finish explaining why voters should ignore what they feel in their wallets.
After the Ukrainian attack targeting a college dorm that killed 21 students, mostly young women, the Russians vowed ‘strategic’ attacks against decision-making centers in the capital, Kiev.
After Saturday (23), when Mosco unleashed 90 missiles and 600 drones against Kiev, we learned that the attack was just the beginning.
After the Foreign Ministry made a general warning for diplomatic missions to leave the city, and for citizens to avoid Military, Industrial, and Government Sites, we learned today (26) that a more specific warning was transmitted personally to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday handed the Trump administration a win by reversing a lower court ruling against a requirement that immigration judges seek official approval before giving speeches in their official capacities.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals last year intervened in light of President Donald Trump's firing of several agency heads responsible for hearing complaints, Reuters reported. The policy stems from the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which oversees roughly 750 immigration judges.
The justices did not rule on the merits of the case, but merely reversed the lower court decision and sent it back for additional proceedings.
