Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday said the Trump administration is planning to have all Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries reapply for the program due to alleged fraud.
The secretary said after receiving data on SNAP recipients from 29 red states that “186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check. “Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data what we’re going to find?” she asked during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
As President Trump blows narcoboats out of the water in a bid to shake Venezuela's Marxist cocaine dictator, Nicolas Maduro, out of his illegitimately held nest, now narco-plagued Mexico is seeing huge protests in a bid to accomplish something similar, and the words "Latino Spring," come to mind.
I've seen radical protests in Mexico City before, but nothing like these videos. I recall being there as the guest of a billionaire I was covering for Forbes magazine in March 2001. When the Chiapas 'revolutionary' known as Subcomandante Marcos marched into the Zocalo with his communist denizens, (same place where these riots took place,)
Just over 15 years ago, when the Democrat-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate were debating the healthcare proposals offered by the Democrat president, nearly everyone on the political right was unified in opposition. It may well have been the last time the right was united on anything, but it was indeed unified and resolute.
Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (MN) warned that “This monstrosity of a bill will not only destroy the private healthcare market, it will lead to massive increases in premiums and rationed care.” Congressman (and eventual vice-presidential nominee and Speaker of the House) Paul Ryan (WI) complained that “This bill is a fiscal Frankenstein.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has found himself in hot water after being caught up in a major scandal and is trying to cover up to save himself.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney, Leah Saffian, has confirmed that multiple federal prison staffers have been FIRED for illegally breaking into Maxwell’s privileged attorney-client emails, emails that were then leaked straight to Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin, who blasted them to the media like political propaganda.
According to Saffian:
Marjorie Taylor Greene, the sharp-mouthed-yet-dull-minded congresswoman from Georgia, captured her first modicum of fame as one of MAGA’s most boisterous boosters. She booed Joe Biden, swooned for Donald Trump, and had a weird catfight with fellow GOP congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.). Even in a profession overwrought with outlandish egos, naked ambition, and delusions of grandeur, MTG managed to stand out. Besides, we had bigger fish to fry. Onward and upward.
And to be fair to Greene, maybe MAGA could use more enthusiasm. Her Southern drawl was pleasant enough, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Ten.)’s crack about MTG’s “bleach blonde bad built butch body” was unfair: In truth, she’s a very attractive woman.
Trump as Br'er Rabbit

If you remember the wonderful Song of the South, Br'er Rabbit begs Br'er Fox not to throw him in the bramble bushes knowing, what fox doesn’t, that he’s safe there in a place where Br'er Fox will be ensnared. After the disastrous Schumer shutdown (snip) the Democrats amped up their nonsense about Trump having engaged in wrongdoing with blackmailer and procurer of underaged females Jeffrey Epstein. (snip) [T]he Democrats replayed their J6 Committee scenario. They selectively released what they obtained from the Epstein estate after they tampered with it and outright lied to accuse Trump of the opposite of what the emails showed.
I saw this story out of Chicago today and it made me think of all the similar stories in places like Seattle, Portland and New York. The person in this story is a violent offender named William Livingston who has a long history of punching random women in the face and then walking away. Livingston has been arrested dozens of times and even gone to prison in the past, but no matter how many times this happens, he is always back on the street and going back to the same violent behavior. This week he was arrested yet again for two violent attacks that occurred in June.
Russia is now fielding long-range, fiber-optic–controlled drones while simultaneously accelerating development of fully autonomous, AI-driven attack drones that mark a dramatic shift in its battlefield strategy. Ukrainian officials confirm that Moscow is deploying jam-proof fiber-optic FPV platforms with a 50-kilometer range, forcing Ukrainian units to cover supply routes with netting to protect vehicles from incoming strikes.
The Encinitas Union School District withdrew its appeal of a ruling in a gender ideology lawsuit. Instead, the San Diego County district will comply with a lower federal court decision and notify parents and provide opt-outs for parents in gender ideology lessons and programs, according to district officials and lawyers representing the plaintiffs. The lawsuit, filed September 2024 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, alleges that the school district violated parents’ and students’ First Amendment rights by compelling students’ speech. The school district required fifth-grade students in an elementary school buddy program to teach kindergarten students, whom they were paired with, about gender identity
A bombshell peer-reviewed study out of Germany just dismantled the scientific foundation used to justify lockdowns, social distancing, and vaccine mandates. When researchers compared the ALM’s week-by-week PCR positivity rates with the same labs’ IgG antibody testing data — essentially measuring who truly developed infection-induced immunity — they discovered something staggering: Only about 14% of those who tested PCR-positive during the early pandemic period (2020–mid-2021) actually developed antibodies — meaning most early “cases” were never real infections.
Hunter Biden needs to go away. He won’t, but give it a rest, man. You and your family are done in professional politics. You are sure as hell aren’t going to be elected to anything. Your dad drools in his soup. And your laptop is what opened Pandora’s box into your family’s alleged government access shenanigans. It was the roadmap. Then, daddy started to fall apart—and his own party booted him off the ticket because he was going to get slaughtered by Donald Trump in 2024.
During his sit-down on the Wide Awake Podcast, Hunter went off on Miranda Devine, one of the reporters at The New York Post,
Several Antifa members have been indicted and seven more charged in an attack on the immigration detention center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4.
A federal grand jury indicted nine leftists and seven more were charged with offenses that include rioting, providing material support to terrorists, and attempted murder of a police officer and unarmed officers at the Prairieland Detention Center, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas announced on Friday.
The agency continued:
Yesterday’s twelve-count indictment charges Cameron Arnold, a/k/a Autumn Hill, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, a/k/a Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada with multiple offenses for their roles
The BBC chair will apologize presumably for a failure of checks after BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resigned over a documentary that joined two parts of Trump's speech together so he appeared to encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 6.
The fallback defense that talking heads are likely to make is that the BBC documentary about Trump was "fake but true." Meaning that while the story is factually inaccurate (i.e., "fake" or fabricated) it is still "true" in a deeper, symbolic sense. This peculiar defense was first advanced in the Internet Age by Dan Rather admitting that the documents supporting his story were bogus,
Indiana voters should be furious.
In a state Trump carried by 19 points, where Republicans hold a supermajority in both chambers, redistricting should have been a slam dunk to secure the 2026 midterms.
Instead, five weak-kneed RINOs tried to sabotage the redistricting vote, collapse the GOP strategy, and block a legitimate effort to strengthen Indiana’s congressional delegation against the Democrats’ national gerrymandering machine.
According to the AP, Republican Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray announced Friday that the chamber will not reconvene in December to vote on redistricting, after months of pressure from President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and even Gov. Mike Braun.
Why? Because these so-called Republicans refused to support it.

Sues Indianapolis Schools Over Migrant Trafficking replies
Indiana’s attorney general took two major enforcement actions this week targeting potential migrant trafficking. This week, Todd Rokita’s office sent subpoenas to several Indiana entities, including Fort Wayne, the state’s second-largest city; Amazon; and Catholic Charities.
“I believe these entities have vital information to root out labor trafficking right here,” Rokita said in a press conference at the Allen County courthouse Nov. 13. His office declined to disclose the subpoena contents beyond mentioning business, financial, and client records and relationships, saying confidentiality is legally required because subpoenas do not accuse recipients of wrongdoing but solely seek information.
This is one of the most depraved things we've ever seen. But given the state of the American Left and its antisemitic, anti-Israel stance, it's not surprising.
There's an off-Broadway show called Slam Frank, and it wants audiences to keep their mouths shut about the last 20 minutes of the show. [Tweet]
Why?
Well, here's why:
The New York based off-broadway show, titled Slam Frank – with the largely non-Jewish cast singing and dancing while wearing yellow Stars of David, is marketed as a musical satire,
Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral is scheduled to take place Nov. 20 at Washington National Cathedral. “Vice President Cheney devoted decades of his life to public service at the highest levels of government,” said the Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, dean of Washington National Cathedral, in a statement. “His life was marked by deep dedication to his family and to the country he served,” he continued. The funeral service is slated to take place Nov. 20 at 11 a.m. EST. Tributes will be delivered by former President George W. Bush; Cheney’s daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.);
While some people are looking to New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani to kiss their boo-boo and make it better, I think it is safe to say that most folks can recognize an underqualified empty suit when they see one. Mamdani's candidacy was successful due to a particular set of circumstances, coupled with outrageous promises to address issues ranging from unaffordable housing to food prices, as well as providing free bus and subway travel by executive fiat. At first blush, this looks like Lefitst Politics 101: promise the lumpenproletariat free stuff. However, a closer look reveals that we may be dealing with a man who is simply unmoored from reality.
The suspect accused of attacking a federal attorney’s office earlier this week has been arrested.
The FBI placed a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Keith Michael Lisa, who reportedly destroyed the office of Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba with a baseball bat on Nov. 12.
Keith Michael Lisa is wanted for allegedly entering the Peter W. Rodino Federal Building in Newark, New Jersey, on November 12, 2025, while in possession of a bat.
After being denied entry, he discarded the bat and returned. Once inside the building, he proceeded to the U.S. Attorney's Office where he damaged government property.
Democrats are now in a damage control mode, as it has been revealed that Del. Stacey Plaskett was exchanging real-time text messages with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a crucial Feb. 2019 congressional hearing.
The hearing featured testimony from Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, as part of one of the Democrats’ witch hunts into President Trump.
The revelations have sparked outrage and raised serious questions about Plaskett’s judgment and connections to the disgraced financier, and not to mention Epstein’s deep ties to the Democratic Party.
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released thousands of pages of Epstein’s emails and messages on Wednesday,

Months before he was fired as FBI Director, James Comey expressed discomfort in the final weeks of the 2016 election when he was compelled to tell Congress that agents had found more Hillary Clinton emails on a laptop belonging to disgraced former Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner, according to newly released court records.

Good morning and welcome. (Snip) So what have we found with the much ballyhoo’d release of the Epstein emails?
The claims of the Democrats not withstanding, Epstein and Trump were decidedly not friends. In fact, Epstein downright hated the man, and stated flatly he didn’t trust him. We also found that the New York Times was working with Epstein to suppress stories about him. We found that the lawyer for the accusers (I think the name was Edwards) suggested that Trump was the only one cooperating, while Epstein was telling everyone that Trump didn’t have a decent cell in his body. By way of these same emails,
Would you believe that in the entirety of human history, no one has been oppressed as much as Michelle Obama? It’s true. Whenever she gets in front of a microphone, she can’t help but complain about how unfairly she’s been treated, how terrible white people are, or how racist our country is. She paints herself as chronically oppressed, endlessly scrutinized, and forever burdened by a country that never treated her fairly. I know it must not be easy having fame, fortune, a bunch of multimillion-dollar homes, and all that. It must be really, really brutal. The routine has become predictable, and her latest appearances only reinforce the sense that
Is “Trump derangement syndrome” real? No serious mental-health professional would render such a partisan and derogatory diagnosis. Yet I’ve seen it in my own psychotherapy practice. Patients across the political spectrum have brought Donald Trump into therapy not to discuss policy but to process obsession, rage and dread. Their distress is symptomatic, not ideological.
