Two FBI stories broke Monday, and they very well may be connected. First, the New York Field Office’s top agent, James Dennehy, resigned, claiming that he had been told he’d be fired if he didn’t. Second, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Bureau had dropped off a “truckload” of Jeffrey Epstein files after she’d set a hard deadline for their turnover. Coincidence?
As we reported, Bondi had promised to deliver the potential bombshell files, which she did to select independent conservative media influencers Thursday, but things didn’t necessarily go as planned. The files were heavily redacted and
During an interview on Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Vice President JD Vance said that the minerals deal would be “a long-term investment” in Ukrainian sovereignty that would be “the very best security guarantee” and a “way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years.” And stated that “The security guarantee, and also the economic guarantee for Ukraine, is to rebuild the country and ensure that America has a long-term interest.”
Vance said [relevant remarks begin around 5:30] that the deal “allows the American people to get some of their money back, but it also shows
As Canada and Mexico braced for 25% tariffs on Tuesday, and China for another 10%, Honda became one of the first companies to cave – scrapping plans to produce its new Civic in Mexico in favor of Indiana, according to a report.
The Japanese auto giant had initially planned to manufacture the next-generation Civic in Guanajuato, Mexico, starting in November 2027, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Now, Honda plans to manufacture the new Civic in Indiana, starting in May 2028 — churning out around 210,000 vehicles each year, a source told the outlet.
The Trump administration has put a temporary pause on all military aid to Ukraine following the breakdown in negotiations at the White House last week.
Last week, the Trump administration had planned to sign an agreement that would have tied the United States economically to Ukraine through a minerals trade deal, but the deal imploded when Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky began to litigate the terms of diplomacy during a White House press conference. In the days since, President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he does not believe Zelensky has any desire to broker a peace deal with Russia.
Speaking with Fox News, a White House official said the pause in aid will
Democrats are in the political wilderness and don’t seem to understand how they found themselves there. In response, they recently held a retreat to try to figure out how to appeal to voters again, especially working class voters.
It’s amazing that they needed a retreat for this with consultants and lists of recommendations, but they get a few points for effort, right?

The I-40 in North Carolina was heavily damaged during Hurricane Helene, which was a huge problem as it’s a major road.
The Biden administration ignored many of the problems in North Carolina after the storm, leaving people sleeping in tents in winter. Who can ever forget FEMA under Biden, avoiding homes that had Trump signs in front of them?
When it came to the I-40, Biden’s transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg said it would take months, maybe even years to fix it.
James Dennehy, the head of the FBI’s New York Field Office has been forced to resign not long after sending a message to his agents that they should “dig in” regarding the Trump administration’s push to compile lists of federal personnel who worked on the January 6 investigations. He sent that communique about a month ago. Today, he was served a pink slip. We don’t know if that was the reason for his firing, but it’s also reassuring to see that the FBI purges are still ongoing (via NBC News):
A member of the Ukrainian Parliament has called for impeachment proceedings against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, asserting that such actions are crucial for the future of the nation’s leadership. The call comes amid growing criticism of Zelenskyy’s public humiliation of Ukraine following his disastrous meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House last week. With his increasingly authoritarian approach to governance and downright refusal to accept a peace and rare Earth minerals deal with the U.S., Zelenskyy’s foreign policy missteps have led to Ukraine’s isolation on the global stage.
A Republican-led Senate bill to prevent boys from participating in girls' sports failed to overcome the legislative filibuster on Monday night after it did not reach the necessary 60-vote threshold to advance.
The bill failed to clear the key procedural hurdle by a vote of 51-45, along party lines. All Democratic senators voted against the motion to proceed, with the exception of absent Sens. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., and Peter Welch, D-Vt., who were absent.

"Carl and I spent many wonderful years together," Parton wrote. "Words can't do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy." The couple married in 1966 and had no children. A cause of death was not disclosed, although the post noted Dean died in Nashville, Tennessee.

Dozens of Democratic congresswomen are planning to wear pink to President Donald Trump’s Joint Address to Congress on Tuesday night as part of a coordinated protest against the President’s policies. New Mexico Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, who chairs the Democratic Women’s Caucus, confirmed exclusively to TIME on Monday that the pink attire is meant to “signal our protest of Trump's policies which are negatively impacting women and families.” “Pink is a color of power and protest,” she says in an interview. “It’s time to rev up the opposition and come at Trump loud and clear.” Trump’s return to the Capitol

In a bombshell interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan tore into the suspicious circumstances surrounding the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally—a rally that, curiously, was the only Trump event CNN bothered to stream live during the entire campaign. Now, billionaire investor Bill Ackman is demanding answers, calling for an investigation into why the far-left network broke its pattern of ignoring Trump rallies just in time to broadcast an attempt on his life.
The Trump administration has paused financing new arms sales to Ukraine and is now weighing a freeze on weapons shipments, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The freeze would affect weapons shipments from US stockpiles, the report added.
According to WSJ, the financing was paused in recent weeks, as part of the Trump administration's general freeze on foreign aid. The general pause included military aid, and exceptions for Israel and Egypt, but not for Ukraine.
On Friday, the Trump administration announced that it would send Israel nearly $3 billion in weapons, including over 35,000 bombs weighing around 2,000 lbs each.
WSJ quoted current officials as clarifying that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
Forty-six percent of surveyed American voters said that neither the U.S. nor Ukraine walked away as a winner from last week’s tumultuous meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to a new Emerson College poll released Monday. Another 35 percent of surveyed voters said the U.S. walked away as a winner, while 15 percent said the same about Ukraine. Four percent said both counties were “equally successful.” The poll also showed a stark, partisan divide in how Americans view the meeting, with 57 percent of Democrats saying neither country walked away as a winner.

Republican lawmaker is introducing legislation to immortalize President Donald Trump on $100 bills. Congressman Brandon Gill, who represents Texas' 26th Congressional District, said that he plans to introduce a bill to feature Trump's likeness on the $100 note once his current term concludes.

"Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime to secure our border, fix our uneven trade relationship with the rest of the world, make America energy independent again, and put America first by ending useless foreign aid."

While I don't expect many people reading this article to be purveyors of the legacy media, most are probably on social media. That means they see the clips of Democrats appearing on the broadcast networks, MSNBC, and the like, and if they are perceptive, they've probably noticed something. Namely, that certain former "fresh faces" of the Democratic Party aren't so fresh anymore.
For context, it's been weeks since there's been an article on RedState covering something Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said. That would have been unheard of a few years ago, but guess who has had five articles written about her since then? That would be Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX).
One hundred years ago, President Calvin Coolidge gave a speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors. It included the line, “After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing, and prospering in the world.”
Colloquially, we’ve abbreviated Cal’s quote to: “The business of America is business.” (Shorter, pithier, and more efficient: The DOGE version of the quote.)
Same is true of politics: It’s a business, too. So, if you wanna know what’s gonna happen next, you’ve gotta follow the money.

President Donald Trump said that the U.S. will impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico on Tuesday, scrapping hopes of a last-minute deal that would avoid stoking a trade war with America’s top trading partners.
Trump, speaking at the White House on Monday afternoon, said there was “no room left for Mexico or for Canada” to negotiate on the new import duties.
“They’re all set. They go into effect tomorrow,” he said.
Stocks, already trading in the red, sank further following Trump’s comments.
Trump on Feb. 1 signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, with oil from Canada subject to a 10% duty. But
THE WHITE HOUSE — The Trump administration promised to “take action” if Americans’ speech is censored by U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s crackdown on free speech.
In response to a question from The Federalist about the United Kingdom’s suppression of free speech, Trump said it was a “very important” issue that his administration is talking to the U.K. government about.
Trump said that he spoke to Starmer about his censorship regime during their visit, and that Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had also brought up the concern.
Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is one of the Democrats urging his party to resist President Donald Trump more aggressively across a broad range of issues. “Mr. Murphy has seemed to be everywhere, all at once, since Inauguration Day,” the New York Times recently wrote, “staging a loud and constant resistance to Mr. Trump at a time when Democrats are struggling to figure out how to respond to him.”

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. THE CONTENDERS —
Anybody who watched the entire Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky would know that it was not an “ambush” or a “setup” by Trump, as characterized by Democrats and malign media entities.
It was the opposite. If anyone came to that meeting in bad faith, it was clearly Zelensky, whose body language and attitude was negative from the start. Trump could not have been more cordial, having steered the complex negotiations with Russia and Ukraine to a first step where he believed peace was a real possibility. But Zelensky had other ideas. He contradicted, interrupted and insulted Trump, even
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.
President Trump’s attempt to end the war in Ukraine has enraged liberal internationalists on both sides of the Atlantic. Dealing directly with the Kremlin and going over the heads of America’s European allies, publicly belittling Ukraine and its leader, and attempting to clinch a minerals deal as the price of further US support for Kyiv — all this counts as heresy among foreign-policy elites committed to “rule-based liberal international order”.
As often happens, Trump breaks with American presidential traditions more in style than in substance. In reality, the 45th and 47th president is in a tradition of realist presidents, going back to Theodore Roosevelt more than a century ago
In a significant policy shift, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to halt all planning against Russia, including offensive cyber operations, according to a report by The Record. This directive, which does not affect the National Security Agency’s intelligence-gathering efforts, marks a reversal from the U.S.’s decade-long stance of viewing Russia as a major cybersecurity threat, following incidents like election interference and cyberattacks.

An “Appeal to Congress” from five former secretaries of defense warns that Donald Trump is firing flag officers, which is unprecedented and an assault on American political norms. This letter is an appalling package of dangerous claims and dumber than a box of rocks. But let’s take a helpful detour before we get into the details.
An essay Thursday from a professor at the U.S. Naval War College makes a similar argument and perfectly represents the moment: Here’s the core of the argument, and if you read it carefully you’ll notice an interesting concession right at the center:

Nasrallah’s son, daughter, and three grandchildren spoke to Al-Manar television for interviews that were broadcast on Friday.
JERUSALEM, Israel - Democratic lawmakers' reactions to last week's public row between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelenskyy set off a firestorm of criticism, yet comparisons of how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was treated by Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama have critics calling foul. [Snip] Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs President Dan Diker told Fox News Digital, "The real question is why the international media, European powers and social networks were noticeably unsympathetic to Israel and its PM Netanyahu during the Obama and Biden administrations, dressing down and even humiliation of Netanyahu during and in between White House visits,
There aren’t many places where the liberal media can go on this one. There’s been a recent attempt to peddle a narrative that buyer’s remorse surrounds Donald Trump. There isn’t. The media tried to declare his approval ratings were plummeting when they were not. Voters have the information at their disposal, so when they see that headline about dipping approval ratings and then check, only to find that the most anti-Trump outlets are the ones with such polls, they ignore it, and rightfully so.
President Donald Trump is expected to announce a new and major investment in American manufacturing from the White House Monday afternoon, marking yet another economic victory less than two months into his second term.

More infuriating details have emerged regarding Friday’s White House blowup involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Trump, and Vice-President JD Vance.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, President Trump and Vice President JD Vance teamed up during a fiery White House meeting on Friday to epically put Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his place. Zelenskyy arrived at the White House on Friday to meet with Trump to discuss his rare earth mineral rights proposal.
Failed 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has said he would “certainly consider” running for president in 2028 — despite his crushing defeat alongside then-Vice President Kamala Harris this past November. “Look, I never had an ambition to be president or vice president. I was honored to be asked,” the Minnesota governor told “the New Yorker Radio Hour” on Sunday. “If I feel I can serve, I will. And if nationally, people are like, ‘Dude we tried you, and look how that worked out,’ I’m good with that.” “If I think I could offer something … I would certainly consider that.”
Don’t wait until the eleventh hour! Daylight saving time starts at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 9, for most of the US, meaning that we spring forward and lose an hour to make better use of daylight and save energy.

The good news is that we can take time this week to minimize the impact on our schedule and body.
The Democratic Party may be imploding before our eyes, folks. What we're seeing isn't just your typical post-election finger-pointing—it's a potential full-blown civil war brewing between moderates and the radical left wing that has hijacked the party and alienated mainstream Americans.
If recent developments are any indication, the moderates are finally growing a spine.

A most dangerous war took a perilous turn on Friday. In what was planned to be a brief, cordial, greeting, President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy squared off in the Oval Office and left an alliance shaken. For three years, the west has stood against Russia's unprovoked invasion of an innocent country. Ukraine is a vanity war for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who covets an empire. And for that alone, more than one million people have been killed or wounded on both sides. President Trump has boasted only he can end it quickly. But, in the last two weeks, his chaotic attempt alarmed allies
Washington — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that an economic deal with Ukraine is not currently on the table after the contentious Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. [Snip] Bessent, who crafted the economic agreement, said Sunday that it's "impossible to have an economic deal without a peace deal," while acknowledging that the economic deal was initially supposed to be a building block toward securing a peace deal in Ukraine. ... Mr. Trump's plan was to use the economic arrangement to "further intertwine the American people and Ukrainian people" and to "show the Russian leadership that there was no daylight" between them.
It’s Oscar Sunday, a ceremony fueled by one thing: publicity. We turn ordinary people into gods and goddesses by telling flattering myths about who they are and why they’re important. The “narrative” gives voters a reason to care and almost always drives the win.
In Hollywood, they’re not planning on changing anything, just as the Democrats won’t. They haven’t noticed that, as they’re watching the band play on, the ship is made of iron and will sink.
What do they even stand for anymore? Transing the kids, open borders for cheap labor, and most importantly, the war in Ukraine.
A man is under arrest and several people are seriously injured, including at least one possibly killed, after a ‘black SUV’ was driven into a crowd of people in a German city on Monday morning.
Several people are injured, some seriously, and at least one person was laid under a bloodied sheet — presumed deceased — in the city of Mannheim on the Rhine in Baden-Württemberg on Monday morning. Police have ordered the public to keep away from the area, a large deployment of emergency services is underway and a helicopter was landed in a square near the incident in the city centre.
Mexican drug cartels are reportedly in fear and going into hiding, and Mexican law enforcement officials have ramped up arrests and drug busts in response to the Trump administration threatening to hit the country with tariffs.
Several cartel members told the New York Times they had either “gone into hiding” or were in the process of “trying to figure out how to protect” their families “in case the American military” launches strikes in Mexico as a result of the Trump administration designating the crime syndicates as terrorist organizations.

On CNN this morning, Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, who might be the dumbest man in government today, decried the Trump administration’s position on the Russia/Ukraine war. You can read much more at the link, but I am going to focus on just a couple of points. First, the question asked by CNN’s Dana Bash:
Host Dana Bash said, “Do you think there’s hope of salvaging this relationship with Ukraine?”
This is mind-numbingly stupid. The proper question, as even Zelensky realizes, is whether Ukraine has hope of salvaging its relationship with the United States. So in this interview, you know from the beginning that you are in a fog of unknowing.

Every Republican president starts with distinct disadvantages. He inherits a largely disloyal and subversive federal bureaucracy, can expect nothing but hostile media coverage, and will be forced to battle for every inch against partisan judges who despise him.

Ten bad takeaways from the Zelenskyy blow-up
1. Zelenskyy does not grasp—or deliberately ignores—the bitter truth: those with whom he feels most affinity (Western globalists, the American Left, the Europeans) have little power in 2025 to help him. And those with whom he obviously does not like or seeks to embarrass (cf. his Scranton, Penn. campaign-like visit in September 2024) alone have the power to save him. For his own sake, I hope he is not being “briefed” by the Obama-Clinton-Biden gang to confront Trump, given their interests are not really Ukraine’s as they feign.
Is the era of rounding up government or academic “experts” to declare their support or opposition to ongoing controversies over? Public declarations by Anthony Fauci and his associates to follow their “expertise” or “science” did not work out well and persuaded few. Recall the 1,200 partisan healthcare “professionals” of June 2020 who flipped to assure us that it was mysteriously now medically OK to break quarantines—but only if to publicly protest during the post-George Floyd unrest. Do we remember the “70 arms control and nuclear experts?” In 2015, they were collected by Obama subordinates to convince America to embrace the flawed administration’s so-called Iran Deal.

[President Trump’s] actions will benefit wild, scenic and agricultural lands in America and worldwide.
* Wind, solar and transmission line installations would have sprawled across tens of millions of acres, impacting habitats, farmlands and scenic vistas, onshore and offshore; interfered with water flow, aviation, shipping and other activities; and killed whales, birds and other wildlife.

A high-stakes transatlantic miscommunication is unfolding, with the potential to produce far worse consequences than the Oval Office contretemps between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Discerning the signal in the noise isn’t easy, but amid the zigs, zags and bombast, the new administration appears to be taking a position that Ukrainian and European leaders aren’t hearing – or are trying to alter.

A new, Godless, quasi-religion—One Health—is being thrust upon the world. Its apostles say it will save humanity, or rather, life itself. Allied with Marxism in its denigration of the “exploitive nature of capitalism” as is demonstrated in the green movement, it debases humankind by equating us with, even putting us below, all other life forms. Its principal church is the World Health Organization (WHO), so President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw from the WHO—or gain American control over it—must be seen in the light of this globalist agenda.

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.”
On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump will deliver an unofficial “State of the Union” address to the United States Congress and the American people. It will be his first major speech since the start of his second presidential term. In his last “State of the Union” speech, on February 4, 2020, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was so enraged that she tore up his written remarks. This act of defiance was highly inappropriate and unprecedented. Republican House Speakers never acted in such a manner.
Pelosi’s temper tantrum typifies how Democrats respond to President Trump. Instead of working with Trump to benefit all Americans, they engage in disgraceful outbursts of anger.

It was a theme in his first term, but during this election, even the corrupt eggplant masquerading as the incumbent got into the act. Trump was Hitler – no, he was Super Hitler. He was more Hitler than Hitler. And it’s a constant theme among the lesser lights of the Democrat Party. “This is what fascism looks like,” intone very serious politicians who seem to have no idea what fascism looks like. And the Trump/Hitler thing is all over social media. Every day, as Trump exercises the legitimate powers granted to him

This is exactly what I voted for, and I couldn’t be more proud of our leaders for practicing what they preach, consequences and optics be damned. From start to finish, that White House press conference was a diplomatic masterclass in not just pragmatism and defending American interests but
If you want to understand why last Friday’s Oval Office press conference between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky went off the rails, ignore most of what you are seeing in the corporate media. Anyone watching a video of the entire event, instead of the deceptively edited clips featured on most “news” sites, will see that neither the President nor the Vice President “ambushed” Zelensky. The first 39 minutes of the meeting were unremarkable, with President Trump attempting to be cordial despite the Ukrainian president’s Marvel Comics costume and pugnacious comportment.
Hoo boy, there was some heated back and forth taking place on social media over the weekend as former Obama adviser Susan Rice is getting hammered for her claims that the Zelensky SmackDown in the Oval Office™ Friday was all a setup by Team Trump. As we reported, the Ukrainian president was cut down a notch or two (or three) when he disrespected the United States in the White House over President Trump’s efforts to ensure peace between Ukraine and Russia after three years of war.
Former National Security Adviser, Ambassador to the U.N., and Barack Obama acolyte Susan Rice, considered by many to be the epitome of the Deep State,

It’s been an email battle royale. First, Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk sent the chattering class into a tizzy by sending out an email to federal employees demanding that they actually specify what work they had done in the last week, then the legacy media salivated when Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FBI Director Kash Patel and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth among others ordered their people not to respond. “Division in the Trump administration!” the media immediately cried.
President Trump has invited a freed Israeli hostage to the White House after being shocked by his stomach-turning interview following 16 months in Hamas captivity.
Eli Sharabi, who was released last month after being held by the Palestinian terror group since October 2023, is expected to meet with President Trump on Tuesday, his brother Sharon told Israeli newspaper Haaretz Sunday. (Photo) Trump extended the invitation to Sharabi and other hostages after being shown clips of his harrowing interview describing his torture and starvation.
Sharabi described being chained, beaten, and starved by his captors, with treatment worsening every time Israel’s leaders announced the worsening of prison conditions of captured Hamas fighters,
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he believes someone other than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should lead his nation.
Host Kristen Welker said, “Welker said, “Senator Lindsey Graham on Friday floated that President Volodymyr Zelensky may need to resign in order for there to be a peace agreement. Do you agree with that statement?”
He added, “Either he needs to come to his senses and come back to the table in gratitude, or someone else needs to lead the country to do that,” I mean, it’s up to the Ukrainians to figure that out, but I can tell you that we are re-exerting
Tucker Carlson has issued a withering response to the disastrous Oval Office meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday.
The conservative commentator, who is known for his skepticism towards America’s support for Ukraine in their war in Russia, pointed to the fact that the notorious war hawk Lindsey Graham criticized Zelensky’s conduct in the wake of the meeting.
