The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has taken steps towards removing gun control activist and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor David Hogg as vice chairman.
On Monday, the credentials committee of the DNC voted 13-2 to void the election results from February in which Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D) were elected to serve as co-vice chairmen of the DNC, according to the New York Times. The vote comes as Hogg is reportedly planning to “spend up to $20 million” to fund “primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats.”
Per the outlet, the decision from the credentials committee came after “three hours of internal debate and one tie vote,”
Wars seemed to be breaking out everywhere this week — in Kashmir, Congo, and in a new phase in Gaza. Closer to home, Democrats appear to be opening a hot civil war of their own.
Political veteran James Carville was punching down to the ingénue David Hogg, scolding him for ham-handedly seeking to primary party elders.
AOC and Bernie Sanders want to declare war against oligarchs who, ironically, mostly support Democrats and their causes.

A civilian West Point professor made a public spectacle of his exit from the US Military Academy and, in the process, inadvertently proved the wisdom of the policies he was griping about. Dr. Graham Parsons, professor of philosophy and a 13-year veteran of West Point's civilian faculty, took to the op-ed pages of the New York Times to announce that the academic environment at West Point has shifted focus and he was just not going to take it: Opinion | West Point Is Supposed to Educate, Not Indoctrinate.
The op-ed was in response to the directive by President Trump

We reported on the chaos that three Democratic House members from New Jersey caused at an ICE detention facility in Newark last Friday. Democrats claimed they did nothing, but then the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released video that showed otherwise. [ Tweets, videos]
The DHS said they were still investigating the incident. They have not ruled out further arrests. The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, was arrested when it happened on Friday.
Meanwhile, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, one of the three, put her foot in her mouth by talking too much. (Snip) On Monday, protesters were out in front of the ICE facility again.
Planned Parenthood’s newest annual report shows the pro-abortion organization facilitated a record number of abortions, over 402,000, and received more taxpayer funding than ever before.
Planned Parenthood’s 2023-24 report says it provided 402,200 abortions during that time period, while receiving $800 million of taxpayer funding, or over $2 million daily.
“For yet another year, pregnant women seeking help at Planned Parenthood are sold an abortion 97% of the time, while prenatal services, miscarriage care and adoption referrals make up a minuscule minority of the options they offer. Meanwhile their priorities include their assault on parental rights, transgender treatments, and political spending to defeat Republicans,”
The media and the Democrats are attacking Donald Trump again. I know—what else is new? This Qatari royal family-747 business got them all hot and bothered, and it’s not all that accurate. The story is that Qatar is going to ‘gift’ Trump a 747, which will be upgraded to be used as Air Force One. Members of the legacy press ‘confirmed’ this story yesterday, except they’re all wrong. Again.[Snip]President Trump was asked about it during this executive order signing presser today. The president vowed to reduce the cost of prescription drugs:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has become very, very busy since Donald Trump became president again and installed Border Czar Tom Homan to help clean up the massive illegal immigration mess that Joe Biden made.
Their latest operating theater: Houston, Texas, where they’ve nabbed over 400 “undocumented people”—many with extensive and disturbing criminal records. These are the kinds of folks Democrats keep going to bat for—not law-abiding Americans.
During the operation, ICE officers targeted some of the most dangerous criminals, including an illegal migrant wanted in Colombia on murder charges.

Remember Episcopal Bishop Marian Edgar Budde? On January 21, as presiding bishop for the National Cathedral's "Service of Prayer for the Nation," Budde decided to use a supposedly ecumenical and unifying prayer event to browbeat President Donald Trump and make her case for illegal immigrants and the LGBTQ-all-the-letters tribe. (Snip) We have not heard from Bishop Budde of late, but her denomination has let it be known that their vestments are in a wad. Why, you might ask? Because Trump has declared that white South African farmers, who are being murdered, persecuted, and having their lands confiscated, can now be resettled into the United States as refugees.
No, we're still not tired of winning yet. The numbers are in, and we learned on Monday that April's income from customs duties - mostly tariffs - is breaking records, topping $16 billion. That is, as someone once said, a big freaking deal.
Receipts from U.S. tariffs hit a record level in April as revenue from President Donald Trump’s trade war started kicking in.
Customs duties totaled $16.3 billion for the month, some 86% above the $8.75 billion collected during March and more than double the $7.1 billion a year ago, the Treasury Department reported Monday.
On Monday, Edan Alexander was finally released from captivity. The American citizen, now 21-years-old, was the last remaining living hostage held by Hamas since the October 7 attack perpetrated against Israel. President Donald Trump announced the news on Sunday from Truth Social, and Alexander was sure enough released from Gaza on Monday.
That same afternoon, the White House posted a picture of Alexander holding up a sign thanking the president for his role. As the sign he was holding up read, "Thank you President Trump!!!"
As Townhall has been covering, there's been trade negotiations going on between the United States and China. Rather than celebrate any kind of progress, though, Democrats in Congress are predictably going after President Donald Trump and his administration. There's not only Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), which is to be expected, but Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has had a rather noteworthy take as well.
In a quoted repost from the White House about the trade deal announcement, Schumer lambasted the update, claiming "it looks like China once again got the better of Trump."
PornHub let child pornography sit untouched on its website for years, including content one employee admitted would put him behind bars “for a long time” if it was found on his computer, discovery documents released in error reveal. Internal messages, emails and memos from around 2020 reveal the company struggling to clear child pornography from its website while executives debated measures to crack down and staff tasked with removing it made light of the situation.
In his press conference about the 90-day trade deal he reached with the Chinese, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, in less than a minute, threw in a small detail about Joe Biden’s presidency that speaks volumes. First, it reveals how utterly feckless Joe Biden was and, second, it reveals how America benefits from a manifestly strong president. (Snip) In other words, China’s escalating trade depredations against the United States in the past four years, years that were terribly damaging to American manufacturers and workers, came about because the Chinese knew that, with Joe Biden in the White House, they could get away with trade murder.
Over the weekend, Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Avila and her husband, former Mexican Congressman Carlos Torres Torres, announced on social media that their visas had been revoked. Both claimed it was a common issue and would likely be resolved soon. The visa revocation comes at a time when the U. S. Department of State and U.S. Department of the Treasury have been taking several steps against drug cartels and terrorist organizations in Mexico.During her morning news conference, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that she had not received advance notice of Del Pilar’s visa revocation and had requested additional information from U.S. officials.
Earlier this month, Hunter Biden dropped his lawsuit against two IRS whistleblowers who alleged there had been a cover-up in former President Biden’s DOJ to block a tax fraud investigation into the former President’s son. However, the financial sector controversies Hunter has incited, particularly with his business dealings in China, remain an ongoing topic of interest and allegedly extend far deeper than tax fraud.For example, Breitbart News has learned that PAX Global Technology Limited., a Chinese technology company under federal investigation for suspicious data transmissions and potential cyberattacks, is linked through ownership structures to Che Feng — a Chinese financier closely tied to Hunter Biden.
university report published last month shows that more than half of those who identify as being left of center on the political spectrum believe assassinating President Donald Trump would be justified. This didn’t come about organically. It’s the product of a vicious campaign waged by the Democratic Party-mainstream media axis.
According to a Rutgers Social Perception Lab-Network Contagion Research Institute brief, 55.2% of Americans on the left “reported that if someone murdered Donald Trump, they would be at least somewhat justified.” Overall, 38.5% hold the same belief.
Trump, who has survived a pair of assassination attempts (one of which was celebrated), is not the only legitimate target, say many Americans.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who represented Donald Trump during his 2024 criminal trial, has been appointed acting librarian of Congress, the Justice Department said Monday. Blanche replaces longtime librarian Carla Hayden, whom the White House fired last week amid criticism from conservatives that she was advancing a “woke” agenda.
The Associated Press obtained an internal memo from Robert Randolph Newlen, who had been serving as acting librarian, saying that Congress was “engaged” with the White House about Blanche’s appointment and that the library had not yet “received direction from Congress about how to move forward.”
President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is terminating a quasi-amnesty program for tens of thousands of migrants from Afghanistan brought to the United States by former President Joe Biden’s administration.
On Monday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) would be terminated for Afghanistan.In 2022, after Biden had imported nearly 100,000 Afghans to the United States in the largest resettlement operation out of one country in American history, his administration offered TPS to about 75,000 Afghans, ensuring they could remain in the U.S. and secure work permits.
New York business groups are blasting Attorney General Tish James for a pro-consumer push that they fear would be a legislative misfire — boosting greedy lawyers and unleashing “legal shakedowns.”
James’ FAIR Business Practices Act looks to tighten up consumer protections to crack down on shady crimes like deed theft, junk fees and hard-to-cancel subscriptions, but critics said it will open up small businesses to frivolous lawsuits and legal threats.
“The so-called FAIR Act would be anything but fair to New York’s business community, especially Main Street businesses,” said Tom Stebbins, executive director of the Lawsuit Reform Alliance of NY.
On Sunday it was reported that President Donald Trump accepted an Qatar’s offer of a jumbo jet to serve temporarily as Air Force One after Boeing failed to deliver the long-promised replacement aircraft. But the real story here is that Boeing, the Department of Defense’s premier contractor, has been delayed years on a project vital to national security.
“We’re very disappointed that it’s taking Boeing so long to build a new Air Force One,” Trump said on Monday morning during a press conference. “You know, we have an Air Force One that’s 40 years old. And if you take a look at that, compared to the new plane of the equivalent,

An evil animal abuser who tortured animals including bunnies to death on YouTube has launched a GoFundMe to try and stop Donald Trump deporting her.
Anigar Monsee, 28, was convicted of felony animal cruelty on Wednesday and faces seven years behind bars - but is now playing the victim on her fundraiser.
'Hi, my name is Anigar Monsee, and I’m a single mother doing my best to raise my daughter on my own,' wrote Monsee, a Liberian national who now lives in Delaware.
'Right now, I’m facing the most terrifying moment of my life—I may be sent to jail or even deported over something I never imagined
Having ignored Joe Biden’s cognitive meltdown the last four years, Democrats and their media handmaidens are claiming that Donald Trump is “senile, nuts, or something worse,” as the Daily Beast put it.
“Is Trump losing his mind à la Biden,” asked the Hill last week, describing the president as lost in “a whirlwind of apparent senility.”
New Republic earlier this month reported unspecified “concerns over Trump’s cognitive decline since he first started to deliver weaving, nonsensical stump speeches on the presidential campaign trail.” When a barely lucid Biden stumbled around on stage and wandered off mid-sentence, they called it a “childhood stutter” and accused this newspaper of peddling “cheap fakes” and misinformation.
If you don’t care whether children come to class, you don’t care if they learn at all — and that’s what New York City’s regular public-school system has come to.
Public-school teacher Mike Dowd’s damning column in Friday’s Post confirmed our worst fears about the sad state of the system.
A third of students in Department of Education schools, more than 300,000, are chronically absent — and uncounted others miss much of the school day.
Teachers aren’t allowed to penalize kids for skipping class thanks to “reforms” made in the name of “equity” under Mayor Bill de Blasio that have continued under Mayor Eric Adams.
