America’s Founding Documents Are Selling
Like Gangbusters
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/27/2025 8:59:51 PM
America’s founding documents are selling at the fastest rate since 2004, when market research firm Circana began keeping track, prompting publishers to plan new editions. The rising civic interest is being attributed, at least in part, to the tumultuous state of America’s political affairs. The U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Federalist Papers have sold a combined 162,000 copies this year, Circana noted—and that’s only through mid-April. This is 76% higher than the same period in 2017, President Donald Trump’s first term in office, when these documents sold 92,000 copies, more than twice as many as in 2016. Sales totaled 58,000 over the same period

Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder criticized FBI Director Kash Patel for posting a photo of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan in handcuffs Friday after she was arrested on federal charges for obstructing ICE efforts to arrest an illegal alien outside her courtroom April 18. Patel posted the photo of the back of Dugan with her hands in cuffs as she was being led away by FBI agents with the message, “No one is above the law.”
Holder accused Patel trying to “trying to maximize intimidation” by violating a Justice Department rule established by Holder restricting the release of photos of federal defendants.
When President Trump put forward his new envoy to combat antisemitism, Rep. Jerrold Nadler urged Senate Democrats “not to provide the Trump Administration with a single vote to confirm Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun.”
Rep. Nadler had opposed the Antisemitism Awareness Act, opposed Trump’s crackdown on campus antisemitism, opposed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, and opposed defunding colleges that tolerate antisemitism.
CAIR, an Islamist group whose leader celebrated the Oct 7 Hamas attacks, praised Rep. Nadler’s opposition to the Antisemitism Awareness Act meant to protect Jewish students from campus Hamas supporters like the ones that the congressman had been defending in 2025.

Donald Trump's combative communications director has issued a blistering, foul-mouthed takedown of a CNN guest after she spoke about the president's weight loss.
Steven Cheung slammed Daily Beast executive Joanna Coles as a '---------' with a 'pea-sized brain' after she speculated that Trump may have taken the weight-loss aide Ozempic during her appearance on Inside Politics.
'CNN had this blithering idiot on Inside Politics from the Daily Beast named Joanna Coles making unsubstantiated claims about President Trump’s health,' Cheung fumed via X on Sunday morning.
Anti-Israel protesters Sunday clashed with cops outside a Brooklyn synagogue where Israel’s embattled security minister was set to speak — with the speech ending up canceled and at least one arrest.
The protest outside Congregation Shaare ZIon on Ocean Parkway turned violent shortly after 9:30 a.m. as NYPD officers and some members of the crowd scuffled while the rowdy mob demonstrated against Sunday’s scheduled speech by Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The speech was nixed, and the under-fire minister is now set to return home a day early, the Israeli outlet Haaretz reported.

Once again, the failing New York Times is running interference and burying the real story to protect their preferred narrative. An article headlined "Missteps, Equipment Problems and a Common but Risky Practice Led to a Fatal Crash," which is about January's devastating crash at Reagan National Airport, is a textbook example of mainstream media malpractice.
An honest headline would have read, "Helicopter Pilot Ignored Multiple Safety Warnings Before Fatal Crash."
The liberal paper of record spent roughly a thousand words dancing around the obvious truth: A helicopter pilot directly caused this tragedy by ignoring multiple explicit warnings. But that wouldn't fit their preferred story about "systemic failures," would it?

President Donald Trump said Sunday that his tariff policy will substantially reduce, even completely eliminate, income taxes for some American workers.
“When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated,” Trump wrote in a 6:06 a.m. post on Truth Social. “Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year.”
Trump continued, “Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!
A second arrest has been made in connection to the theft of Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's purse while she was out having lunch on Easter with her family.
Authorities announced that they apprehended the accomplice believed to be tied to the series of thefts in D.C. in Miami on Sunday.
"The individual is believed to be a co-conspirator in those incidents with the primary defendant who is accused of committing a robbery against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem," a spokesperson for the Secret Service shared in a statement.
"Public safety is strongest when built on trust and collaboration," Special Agent in Charge Rafael Barros said. "We are grateful

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has unveiled a new naval destroyer, claiming it as a significant advancement toward his goal of expanding the operational range and preemptive strike capabilities of his nuclear-armed military, state media said Saturday.
North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency said Kim attended the launching ceremony for the 5,000-ton warship on Friday at the western port of Nampo.
Kim framed the arms buildup as a response to perceived threats from the United States and its allies in Asia, who have been expanding joint military exercises amid rising tensions over the North’s nuclear program.
Paramount and representatives of President Trump are scheduled to meet Wednesday before a mediator who will determine the fate of Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against CBS, The Post has learned.
It all comes as Paramount — whose CBS network has been accused of deceptively editing a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris to tilt the 2024 election in her favor — is in the middle of closing its $8 billion merger with independent studio Skydance.
The transaction also needs approval from Trump’s Federal Communications Commission. Bringing an end to the lawsuit is seen as a way to expedite the approval process, though it remains unclear how the mediator will rule.
The Trump administration announced this week an opportunity for American artists to create sculptures of historical figures like George Washington, Patrick Henry, Davy Crockett, and other American heroes in celebration of the nation’s 250th birthday.
The National Endowment for the Humanities announced on Thursday that it would be handing out grants for artists to sculpt one of the 250 American historical figures identified by the Trump administration for placement in a new National Garden of American Heroes.
The garden will provide the public with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how the lives and accomplishments of these individuals have shaped our history and culture,”
A disgraced former Democratic governor attempting a political comeback is cashing in on donations from Big Apple powerbrokers — but it’s not Andrew Cuomo.
Ex-New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey’s bid for Jersey City mayor marks another local former governor trying to make his way back into the political spotlight after resigning amid scandal — and he’s seeking dough from New York City GOP donors and Trump cronies to do it.
The election for Jersey City mayor is supposed to be non-partisan, so McGreevey’s campaign opponent, Jersey City Councilman James Solomon, is blasting McGreevey, a former Democrat, for courting MAGA.
“MAGA mega-donors who have poured millions into Donald Trump are powering Jim McGreevey’s campaign,

New details about the fatal helicopter-plane crash near DC’s Reagan Airport reveal the female pilot was repeatedly ignored warnings from her male co-pilot to turn away but she flew right into the passenger jet.
An American Airlines flight carrying approximately 64 souls collided with a Blackhawk helicopter near Washington D.C. Reagan National Airport (DCA) in late January.
All 64 passengers in the jet were killed.
The three pilots in the Blackhawk helicopter also died in the explosive crash.
A preliminary FAA report indicated that staffing at the DCA Air Traffic Control tower was “not normal” at the time of the helicopter-plane collision.
According to NBC News, at the time of the collision,

Even as talks progress and President Donald Trump says there is hope for a deal, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky made clear he rejects President Donald Trump’s proposal to recognise Russia’s occupation of Crimea as a price of peace, saying the Ukrainian constitution calls for nothing less than absolute victory.
This week, President Donald Trump said in interview with Time Magazine that one of the ultimate outcomes of the war will be that “Crimea will stay with Russia”, and later that a deal was close, with Ukraine and Russia needing now to meet in person in negotiations for the first time to “finish it off”.
Former President Barack Obama was spotted going out to dinner with his daughters in Los Angeles on Saturday night — but former first lady Michele Obama was nowhere to be found as rumors of marriage problems continue to swirl. (Photo) Obama, 63, with daughters Sasha, 23, and Malia, 26, broke bread at upscale Japanese restaurant Hamasaku on Santa Monica Boulevard, which has been a favorite of the family since at least 2022, according to images of the dinner.
Pollster Frank Luntz inspired mockery after trying to bait Trump voters into expressing displeasure over their retirement accounts.
As Americans adjust to the effects of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, it’s clear that some are more focused on the big picture instead of the temporary pain. Luntz learned this firsthand when he questioned 15 supporters of the president about their 401(k) accounts.
Watch: [video]
“I need to ask you an issue that no one’s brought up and has crashed your 401(k)s, most of you, the tariffs,” Luntz said. “The stock market is way down.”
“It needed a correction,” said Sarina from New York.
“Oh, so you support it?” a visibly surprised Luntz asked,
State governments refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement in enforcing immigration law because they reject the idea is an insurrection. And it ought to be treated like one. Whether it’s Gov. Newsom in California or Gov. Evers in Wisconsin, state governors ordering employees to obstruct ICE is a Fort Sumter moment.
The State of Wisconsin guidance to “state employees encountering ICE or other federal agents at their workplace” tells them to ask for their budgets, tell them to sit in a “public area” , not allow them to “enter into a non-public area” and to refuse to cooperate without contacting a lawyer.
Gov. Evers’s directive warns state employees
On Sunday, during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) did not rule out impeaching President Donald Trump if Democrats take control of Congress.
Host Dana Bash said, “Your colleague from Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff told voters at a town hall that he strongly agrees that President Trump should be impeached. Do you agree with him? Would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?”
Joe Biden’s appearance at Pope Francis's funeral on Saturday caused as a stir as the 82-year-old former president showed significant signs of physical deterioration, even requiring significant assistance just to navigate a short flight of stairs at the Vatican.
In a telling moment that validates the concerns many of us had about his fitness for office, Biden was seen desperately clutching the arm of an elderly priest while also relying on his wife, Jill, for support. The scene would have been comical if it weren't so concerning—here was a man who, just last year, was insisting he could handle another four years as leader of the free world,
House Republican leaders are considering making some of the key tax benefits that President Donald Trump promised on the 2024 campaign trail only temporary policies in the reconciliation bill that's currently being crafted. A "sunset" period of four years is under consideration for policies such as eliminating taxes on tips, Social Security benefits and overtime pay, Just the News has learned.
The move has drawn criticism from a budget watchdog group, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which has described the possibility of scoring certain tax benefits as temporary rather than permanent to estimate the full cost of the package as "manipulation" that wouldn't show the true cost.
House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries was in Denmark yesterday trashing the United States. It’s a new America since Barack Obama where our own officials travel abroad to undermine our government.
He insulted President Trump’s efforts to make tariffs fair, and presented Democrats as the only ones standing up for American values. He suggested everyone is upset with the President’s agenda. It didn’t stop there.
“We’re dealing with a very, different America. We’re dealing with constituents who are understandably concerned at the unprecedented events that we’ve seen unfold,” Jeffries said. He is undermining President Trump’s efforts to get trade deals.

Journalist Sharyl Attkisson shared a study on COVID-19 deaths, and things are not as they seem.
Conservative skeptics were calling for an audit into COVID deaths from the very beginning, certain that things weren’t quite adding up. It was an unpopular position at the time, as the rest of the world was still reeling from the fear and uncertainty of a global pandemic.
Now that we are several years removed, people are finally looking into exactly how COVID deaths were categorized in Greece. [Tweet]
A study published in Scientific Reports reveals that “[i]n Greek hospitals, all deaths with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test are counted as COVID-19 deaths,”
Racist wackjob Joy Reid recently went on a racist rant, crediting White people for the fall of Rome, suggesting that Whites will be responsible for the United States’ collapse, and embracing Great Replacement.
Someone should tell Reid, who apparently flunked history class, that the fall of the Roman Empire had several causes, none of them being a lack of diversity. One cause, however, is believed to be non-citizens, their inability to assimilate into Roman culture, and Rome’s DEI policies that welcomed immigrants to serve in the military.
Sen. Cory Booker and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a live-streamed appeal from the steps of the U.S. Capital on April 27, demonstrating against Republican-backed budget plans. Starting just after 6 a.m., the lawmakers addressed viewers about the Trump administration’s proposed budget that they said would slash programs in housing, health care and education that help millions of Americans, while expanding tax breaks for the wealthiest. “Republican leaders have made clear their intention to use the coming weeks to advance a reckless budget scheme to President Trump’s desk that seeks to gut Medicaid, food assistance and basic needs programs
