New signs of a tightening race in Wisconsin are flashing warning signs for incumbent Democrat Sen. Tammy Baldwin as she looks to fend off a challenge from Trump-backed Eric Hovde, giving Republicans a boost in their efforts to take the upper chamber this fall. The Cook Political Report shifted the race to “toss-up” status this week, and public and internal polling has raised alarms that Hovde could be closing the gap with less than a month to go until Election Day.

The radicalism of the far left judges all over the country, but especially in the Federal Court of the District of Columbia, is reaching the point where each succeeding account of a new injunction or a new expession of outrage against the President they despise and whose authority they deny seems to get more and more ludicrous prompting one to say “you just cannot make this stuff up”! It is hard to keep a straight face when liberals whose favorite judges are the very definition of authoritarianism, such as the judge we will discuss here,

The 36 million who watched President Donald Trump's address to Congress also watched as Congressional Black Caucus member, Rep. Al Green, shook his cane and shouted at the president. When he refused to desist, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered him removed from the chamber. Two days later, in a bipartisan vote, the House censured Green. The Congressional Black Caucus stood in firm support of Green's actions and, in their own move to disrupt, CBC members sang "We Shall Overcome," an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, as Johnson read the censure on the House floor. When they refused to stop disrupting, the Speaker gaveled the session to recess.

Censorship isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it moves in silence, disguised as diplomacy, business deals, or “cultural sensitivity.” It happens in places like China or Iran, until suddenly, it’s standing at your own front door, deciding what you can see, hear, and say. That’s exactly what is happening right now in the United States as the Chinese Communist Party wages an aggressive war, not with tanks or missiles, but with threats, pressure, and censorship, all aimed at silencing a dance performance.I know this because I’ve lived it. I was born in Iran, where history isn’t just rewritten, it’s erased.

It has been seven days of watching the press corps of this country continuing to lose its grip on the national narratives, and flailing as a result. It also makes things slightly difficult this week; deciding which outlets descended to the lowest depths was a bit of a challenge. But one did manage to distinguish itself--with the outlet's inner turmoil made public and many of its names becoming disposable. As I said, there were many, other outlets vying for inclusion.

In recent remarks at a recent hearing at the Congressional Iran Human Rights and Democracy Caucus, the Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi observed that “the situation of the Iranian society is explosive” and that Iran’s theocratic dictatorship “has never been so weak and fragile” since it was established in the wake of the 1979 revolution. Even as she offered his assessment to Congress, the White House was in the process of actively implementing a renewed strategy of “maximum pressure” on the Iranian regime, which promises to increase its fragility even further.

It's not quite vacation season yet here in the United States - believe me, when vacation season starts, every Alaskan knows it because of the non-stop stream of rental RVs headed north - but the season is evidently different in other parts of the world. Like, say, North Korea; not a place one would think of as a popular tourist destination. And yet, North Korea, that isolated Stalinist regime run by a stunted little gargoyle with bad hair from a long line of stunted little gargoyles with bad hair, has recently received the first group of tourists since the country was locked down during the COVID-19 panic.

While one cannot blame all of the world’s problems on the former first lady and senator, much of the trouble in Ukraine is related to her actions. Volodymyr Zelensky was once a comedian. One of the hallmarks of great comedians is their ability to read the room. When my high school had a very ugly and contentious merger with its sister school (New Trier East and West), a traveling group from Second City came to perform. One of the comedians was asked about the merger, which had made its way into the local papers.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz appears on CNN to outline how the U.S. team no longer sees Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a man who can lead his nation to a place of peace. Waltz notes that at a certain point there are going to be negotiations and discussions about Ukraine territory that Zelenskyy is going to need to face with pragmatic honesty. However, at the current state of conflict Zelenskyy is intransigent toward any ceasefire agreement that does not include U.S. troops on the ground as a “security guarantee.”

An earthquake rattled Los Angeles hours after the 2025 Academy Awards ceremony wrapped up in Hollywood, according to multiple reports. The 3.9-magnitude tremor struck North Hollywood at around 10:13 p.m. on Sunday, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Why Arabs Don't Want To Receive Palestinian Ex-Prisoners 10 replies

The Jordanians and Lebanese, for their part, have not forgotten how Palestinians sparked civil wars in their countries in the 70s and 80s. [The Arab countries'] refusal to take in Palestinian prisoners probably arises from the fact that these countries actually do not care about the Palestinians and even consider them an ungrateful people and troublemakers. Many Arabs also seem to have lost faith in the Palestinians' ability to implement reform and end rampant financial and administrative corruption in their governing bodies in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

American liberals are, for the most part, completely unfamiliar with self-awareness and honesty. That's what makes the late New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael's somewhat infamous — and often misquoted — response to Richard Nixon's landslide victory in 1972 all the more stunning. In a speech shortly after the '72 election, Kael said, "I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are, I don't know. They're outside my ken." When I was just a lad, Kael perfectly described what I would begin referring to as the Coastal Media Bubble™ more than half a century later.

General Dan Caine — the newly nominated chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — got tapped for his new position after becoming a favorite of President Donald Trump during a meeting with him in Iraq in 2018. Since that warzone meeting, Trump has repeatedly praised Caine, who served as the deputy commander of the special operations task force, which was then fighting the Islamic State. Trump called the three-star general “instrumental” in the “complete annihilation of the ISIS caliphate” in a Truth Social post Friday — harping on Caine’s reputation as a “warfighter.” Caine’s successful stint in Iraq, which lasted from 2018-2019, made a strong impression on the president,

The father of a Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing a football star from a rival school over a seat at the stadium says his son is a “good kid” who was provoked to violence. “Everyone has already made their assumptions about my son, but he’s not what they’re making him out to be,” Andrew Anthony told The Post. Karmelo Anthony, 17, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly killing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a track meet, leaving him to die in his twin brother’s arms. “He’s a good kid. He works two jobs. He’s an A student, has a 3.7 GPA,” the heartbroken dad said.

The far-left protestors completely destroyed TPUSA’s “Prove Me Wrong” tabling event with former police officer Brandon Tatum. They stole the tent, ripped down the TPUSA banners and tried to steal the TPUSA staffer’s iPad and electronics. Police officers stood by and did nothing to stop the Antifa thugs as they destroyed the TPUSA canopy and assaulted students. [Tweet, video] “Antifascista! A!

The European Union is considering levying a $1 billion fine against Elon Musk’s X, alleging that the social media company has violated its law against disinformation and illicit content, The New York Times reported. Along with the hefty fine, the E.U. would also demand that X make changes to its product, according to the Times, which cited “four people with knowledge of the plans.” If the E.U. moves forward, it would be the first fine imposed by the body using its Digital Services Act (DSA). The DSA “regulates online intermediaries and platforms … to prevent illegal and harmful activities online and the spread of disinformation.”

The teenager accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf and leaving him to die in his twin brother’s arms at a high school track meet allegedly admitted to the senseless killing — but claimed it was in self-defense. “I’m not alleged, I did it,” 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony chillingly told police in Frisco, Texas, as he was being arrested at Kuykendall Stadium, according to an arrest warrant obtained by NBC DFW. The horrific stabbing was sparked when Anthony, who was sitting under another team’s pop-up tent as it rained Wednesday morning, was asked by Metcalf to move — and Anthony refused, according to the arrest report.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was reportedly blindsided by her 2024 election loss to President Donald Trump and “bought the hype” that she would win, according to a new book. “She was completely shocked, and [Harris’ running mate] Tim Walz was shocked,” The Hill reporter Amie Parnes said on the podcast, “Somebody’s Gotta Win with Tara Palmeri” released Thursday.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has announced the launch of a rogue “shadow government” dubbed the People’s Cabinet — a brazen attempt to sabotage President Donald Trump’s America First agenda. The announcement comes on the heels of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s shocking call for a “shadow government” during a recent town hall in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he openly advocated for what he called “alternate press conferences” to spin the public with Democrat-approved talking points. Now, DNC Chair Ken Martin is taking that vision a step further, turning it into an official operation.

Is the Supreme Court Compromised by Deep State Cronyism? In a bombshell revelation that’s sending shockwaves through conservative circles, it turns out Chief Justice John Roberts has been rubbing elbows with none other than Norm Eisen—the radical leftist operative who’s spent years orchestrating lawfare campaigns against President Donald Trump and his allies. According to a report from Revolver News, Roberts didn’t just bump into Eisen at a D.C. cocktail party. No, these two are apparently such “good pals” that Roberts jetted off to the Czech Republic for a week-long sleepover at Eisen’s lavish 150-room palace.

California Governor Gavin Newsom said he has directed his administration to "look at new opportunities to expand trade" as he tries to steer his state around President Donald Trump's sprawling import tariffs. In a post on X, Newsom addressed the U.S.'s global trading partners, writing "California is here and ready to talk." It comes after a Fox News report revealed that Newsom is directing his state to pursue "strategic" relationships with countries announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., urging them to exclude California-made products from those taxes.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is leading Chuck Schumer by double digits in a new head-to-head poll of the 2028 New York primary. The survey by the liberal firm Data for Progress, first shared with POLITICO, found that 55 percent of Democratic likely voters said they supported or leaned toward supporting Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, while 36 percent backed or leaned toward backing Sen. Schumer. Nine percent were undecided. The poll is the latest sign that Schumer’s standing among the Democratic base has taken a hit since he voted to advance a GOP funding bill last month that avoided a government shutdown. The fact that
