Colorado’s “Kelly Loving Act” (HB 1312) is truly one of the most radical, extreme, and anti-family bills ever proposed in our nation’s 249-year history. And that might be an understatement. HB 1312 purports to provide “legal protections for transgender individuals.” In reality, it facilitates the state ripping children away from their parents if they refuse to go along with their child’s desire to “socially” or “medically transition.”

Low-cost online retailer Temu is ceasing shipments to the United States from China, the company announced on May 2. On Friday, Temu, which is run by a U.S.-based subsidiary of PPD Holdings, said in a media statement released to The Epoch Times that the platform is transitioning “to a local fulfillment model.” “Temu’s pricing for U.S. consumers remains unchanged,” the May 2 statement said. “All sales in the U.S. are now handled by locally based sellers, with orders fulfilled from within the country.”

“Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.” —Frank Herbert Three years ago, the Democratic Party nominated John Fetterman to the Senate, despite his significant health problems. It wasn’t a secret: Fetterman’s brain trauma was on full display during his horrendous debate against Dr. Mehmet Oz, where he stammered, stuttered, and (repeatedly) lost his train of thought. Fetterman won anyway, beating Oz by nearly 5% points, helping the Democrats flip the only Senate seat of the 2022 midterms, giving the Donkeys control of the Senate for the first time since 2015. It was an important election — and a Faustian bargain:

I was in the room when Warren Buffett said he would step down as CEO at the end of this year, marking the end of a remarkable tenure that has lasted nearly six decades. The legendary investor and Berkshire Hathaway boss made the surprise announcement in the closing minutes of a nearly five-hour-long Q&A on Saturday at his company's annual meeting in Omaha. The packed stadium was stunned into silence. The longest-serving S&P 500 CEO, who took the top job in 1970 and built Berkshire from a failing textile company into a $1 trillion company known around the world, was stepping down.

BOMBSHELL: A Biden-appointed federal judge is under fire after blocking Border Patrol from arresting illegal aliens—while her husband profits from real estate deals involving undocumented immigrants, according to explosive revelations by Laura Loomer. U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston issued a major injunction halting immigration enforcement in Eastern California, a move critics say directly benefits her husband’s business dealings with illegal immigrant clients. The ruling, which targets Trump-era border operations, has ignited a firestorm over judicial ethics and further fueled claims that the Biden administration is undermining border security through politicized courts

Florida adults who received Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine were more likely to die following vaccination than Moderna COVID-19 recipients, according to a new preprint study that was co-authored by Florida’s top health official. Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s surgeon general, and other researchers identified nearly 9.2 million Florida adults not living in institutions who received at least two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine less than six weeks apart between Dec. 18, 2020, and Aug. 31, 2021. They narrowed the group to nearly 1.5 million, half who received Pfizer’s vaccine and half who received Moderna’s(snip) to see which group had the higher risk for all-cause mortality, (snip) in the 12 months

If you thought lawfare was just about courtroom theatrics and endless sham indictments, think again. The Left has turned activist judges into one of their deadliest weapons(snip) thanks to a bombshell exclusive from investigative bulldog Laura Loomer, we’re getting a firsthand look at just how corrupt and compromised some of these judges really are. (snip) California US District Court Judge Jennifer L. Thurston, a 2021 Biden appointee who just blocked the Trump administration from arresting illegals unless they have a formal warrant. Yes, this was a wildly dangerous ruling all by itself… but it gets worse. Laura went digging and found some damning videos from the judge’s hubby

Several congressional Democrats in toss-up districts pocketed thousands of dollars from Salvadoran-vacationing Reps. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) and Maxine Dexter (D-OR) last month, prompting the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) to demand they “return every dollar or admit they’ve sold out our national security for campaign cash.” Multiple representatives considered to be in vulnerable districts for the 2026 House races by the Cook Political Report each reportedly received $1,000 from Frost, who recently returned from a trip to El Salvador to advocate for the return (snip) Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show Frost’s campaign committee donating to the following toss-up district candidates just weeks before his trip to Latin America:

The calls for violence are growing louder and louder by the day. The agitators are calling for the assassination of public figures and elected officials; they are calling for acts of insurrection by federal and local law enforcement. These are actions that would very likely prompt a second civil war, but the agitators have no thought of that, or, on the few occasions when they register that possibility, seem somehow to think that their side would win. The people making these calls for violence are, of course, all members of the "progressive" left. Jonathan Turley recently penned an interesting piece on those people.

Nigel Farage has joined a cross party effort to force the left-wing Labour government to launch a national inquiry into the failures to safeguard young girls from Muslim child rape grooming gangs as his party said it will include a pledge to hold a national inquiry in its next election manifesto. (snip) The vow comes as Mr Farage joined a bipartisan campaign launched by the Crush Crime group to pass legislation mandating that the left-wing Labour Party government hold an 18-month national inquiry, which would have subpoena powers to compel witnesses to testify, unlike previous, more limited inquiries.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has warned woke employees of English councils working on “climate change initiatives, or diversity” to seek alternate employment after his party won historic victories in Thursday’s England elections. Nigel Farage addressed supporters and election-winners on Friday night after the final results for over 1,600 elections across England came in, confirming his Reform UK party had undeniably won the day, stating: “I do genuinely believe what has happened yesterday the length and breadth of England is a truly historic landmark”. Reform won ten local authorities, two mayoralties, a byelection to Parliament, and 677 councillor seats.

On a Saturday night in late April, the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) doled out awards, one of which went to Alex Thompson of Axios. The judges said he deserved the award because, “Thompson’s aggressive reporting on Biden, especially leading up to and after the Trump-Biden debate, revealed that the president’s cognitive decline was impacting his ability to do his job, information the White House tried to conceal. After the debate, Thompson was the first to report that Biden was at his best from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. -- a stunning revelation.” Thompson’s “aggressive reporting” only started in the fourth year of Biden’s term,

A few days ago, a clip with Michelle Obama from her podcast 'IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson' raised a few eyebrows. Michelle says the following to an unseen individual: "You're being a role model for dealing with a child that's transgender... That warms my heart, particularly as a black man." Was this an inadvertent confession of what some have always claimed? But before the word 'scandal' could be pronounced, the community notes on X revealed the facts. Michelle Obama was talking to actor Marlon Wayans, and her following is the entire question: "And, you know, that warms my heart. Particularly as a Black man, um, you know,

The Gateway Pundit reported that a second protective order was released involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia — a man with known ties to the notorious MS-13 criminal syndicate. Garcia, the newest hero of the Democrat party, has a history of domestic violence and child abuse, told his wife that he could get away with murder if he killed her. According to Fox News’ Bill Melugin, Garcia’s wife filed the order in August 2020, detailing violent physical abuse and threats of murder. Audio of her request for a protective order has been released, sharing the disturbing details of Garcia’s behavior. “I came to fill out a protective order, I think it was in December,

An activist judge has ordered Florida to stop the enforcement of their recent law allowing misdemeanor charges for illegal aliens who enter Florida to evade immigration authorities. This is the showdown; a judge's order is about to be effectively defied by a major state official. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier will rebut a judge’s demand that his office order state law enforcement to halt enforcement of a state immigration law she ordered paused under suspicion of unconstitutionality. The law allows for misdemeanor charges against illegal immigrants who enter Florida and hope to avoid federal immigration officials.

Rowan & Martin's "Laugh-In" was regular viewing in my home, and I grew up watching the ebullient personality and quick wit of comedienne Ruth Buzzi. One of her main characters on the show was Gladys Ormphby, the spinster who used her handbag with effective accuracy. [Video] (Snip) On Friday, Buzzi's death was announced. After her long battle with Alzheimer's, the complications from the disease finally took their toll. Buzzi was 88 years old. Buzzi died Thursday of complications from Alzheimer’s at her home near Fort Worth, Texas, her longtime rep, Mike Eisenstadt, told The Hollywood Reporter.

In yet another brutal consequence of the previous administration’s lax border policies, three Virginia correctional officers were reportedly stabbed by MS-13 gang members who are in the U.S. illegally. The attack, which took place inside a state correctional facility, underscores the growing threat posed by violent foreign nationals who slip through the cracks of a broken immigration system. On Friday, six inmates—five of them confirmed members of the violent MS-13 gang—launched a premeditated attack on three correctional officers at Wallens Ridge State Prison in Big Stone Gap, Virginia. According to the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC), the attackers are nationals of El Salvador and were in the United States illegally.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blasted an aviation incident near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport involving an Army helicopter, just months after a midair collision in the same area killed 67 people. On Thursday, two passenger jets were forced to abort their landings at the airport because of an Army Black Hawk helicopter taking a "scenic route around the Pentagon." Reagan National airport has been in the spotlight ever since the catastrophic crash of an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a regional passenger jet killed 67 people in January and set off a wave of investigations. According to the email written Friday by Chris Senn, FAA’s assistant administrator for government and industry affairs,

Spring is in full throttle, with summer just around the corner. Around this time, events around me inevitably trigger the same two recurring questions, like clockwork, year after year after year. And the questions are these: Why do these teenage girls' parents let them leave the house dressed like NFL cheerleaders? Am I going to have to spend another summer weaving my car around rude bicyclists who think they own the road? It is this second question I'm currently pondering, as I witnessed earlier in the day some poor sap driving a car, stuck behind a gaggle of inconsiderate male bicyclists (the rude ones are always men),

You’ve no doubt heard the media narrative about President Trump’s poll numbers according to most pollsters—you know, the ones who got the 2024 election so wrong, Make no mistake about it — the legacy media is at it again with their dishonest polling tactics against President Trump. But this time, their deceptive game has been called out by none other than former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Appearing on Hannity Thursday night, Gingrich exposed how the media's recent polling showing Trump's approval dropping is nothing but smoke and mirrors. The reality? These polls are deliberately skewed to paint a false narrative about Trump's standing with the American people. Let's look at the facts.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) launched into a conspiracy-laden diatribe over the 2024 presidential election results, suggesting subpoena power would be necessary to discern whether foreign adversaries—with an assist from Department of Government Efficiency leader Elon Musk—stole the race for President Donald Trump. “Elon Musk has done nothing in the last five months to make me think that we shouldn’t ask questions about what the hell he was doing in 2024,” Swalwell said on a recent podcast, uncovered by Breitbart News, when asked about an alleged U.S. data leaked through Elon Musk’s Starlink services.

A California railroad executive stole public funds and built a lavish apartment inside a historic train station where he lived while working eighty hours each week. Joseph Navarro was found guilty of using $42,000 to create his own private living space inside the Burlingame train station, 16 miles south of San Francisco, the San Mateo County District Attorney announced Thursday. Navarro, the former deputy director at Caltrain, furnished the private pad with a bedroom, living room and gym.The 67-year-old conspired with former station manager and TASI worker Seth Worden to approve building expenses to convert a part of the historic building into a dwelling, under the guise of an office remodel.

Let’s get the big news out of the way: The economy shrank by 0.3% during the first quarter of 2025, a mild but not wholly unexpected drop blamed by nearly everyone on President Donald Trump’s tariff hikes. Is that the first step toward a recession, or, as Trump put it, just a result of the “Biden overhang”? First, let’s just note one big thing: The media can’t help but show its glaring bias against Trump even when it reports boring data, such as the barely negative GDP number.In case you didn’t get that quote, it was a play on the clueless remark (“Crisis? What Crisis”)

President Donald Trump on Friday released his budget proposals — slashing domestic spending to help lower the deficit while also allowing vital new investments in defense. The so-called “skinny” spending blueprint will guide the House and Senate in producing the “big, beautiful bill” settling tax policy as well as the contours of the federal budget for the next year. Calling the proposal “a bold blueprint that reflects the values of hardworking Americans and the commitment to American strength and prosperity,” House Speaker Mike Johnson praised Trump’s plan as ensuring that “every federal taxpayer dollar spent is used to serve the American people, not a bloated bureaucracy.”

It’s the part of the Trump revolution you’re not hearing about, because it strikes fear into the nation’s socialist media, to the point that they are now churning out apocalyptic tales of woe loosely based on what’s happening to their industry. A few days ago, a piece pointed out that President Trump had upended the leftist ratchet. This is the tendency for the left to go hog wild when they grab power and push their socialist national agenda to the hilt. And then when things flip to the pro-freedom side, we can only bring the ball back to a certain degree.

The most consequential shift in public opinion away from the Democrat Party ever is underway, and their obsession with MS-13 deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s plight won’t help. After decades of double-digit advantages over Republicans when asked which party “cares more for the needs of people like you,” Americans now have the two major parties tied. CNN’s senior data analyst, Harry Egnet, assessed the swing as one of “the most shocking pieces of poll data that I truthfully have seen this year, maybe in any prior year.”

President Trump’s landslide victory last November was made possible in no small part by his vision of a new economic Golden Age. For far too long, Americans have been getting ripped off — and Trump is just the man to make it stop. But he will need the entire federal government to bring about this result. Every agency must do its part to repair the damage from four years of the Biden-Harris administration — as well as decades of swamp politicians who got rich while many Americans were left behind. The Federal Trade Commission is leading the way. In the last few weeks,

Despite the media hysteria, President Donald Trump's counterrevolution remains on course. Its ultimate fate will probably rest with the state of the economy by the November 2026 midterm elections. But its success also hinges on accomplishing what is right and long overdue -- and then making such reforms quietly, compassionately, and methodically. No country can long endure without sovereignty and security -- or with 10 to 12 million illegal immigrants crossing the border and half a million criminal foreign nationals roaming freely. The prior administration found that it was easy to destroy the border and welcome the influx.

In a preview of an interview with President Donald Trump that will air Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the president said that the United States economy will be fantastic after a “transition period.” Host Kristen Welker said, “Some people on Wall Street have expressed concerns that the possibility of a recession is increasing. And I want to know what you think about that. Are you comfortable with the country potentially dipping into a recession for a period of time if you are able to achieve your long-term goalsp?” Trump said, “Well, you know, you say some people on Wall Street say, well, I have to tell you something else.

President Donald Trump did something extremely rare in Washington on Friday. He offered a budget plan that proposes actual, honest-to-goodness cuts in spending next year. Which helps explain the hysterical reaction from the usual suspects. Normally, White House budget proposals claim to be cutting spending when all they are doing is slowing the growth in spending. Or they promise spending cuts far down the road while boosting outlays in the short term. But the budget outline Trump released Friday does none of that. In sticking with Trump’s “revolution of common sense,” when it says it cuts spending, it cuts spending – meaning spending less next year than this year.

All hell broke loose at a town hall hosted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Friday, when the far-left “Squad” member was heckled by a protester for failing to stop the “genocide in Gaza” — who was immediately met with a torrent of boos and hisses. The speculated 2028 presidential candidate was holding a constituent event in Jackson Heights, Queens, when it devolved into chaos after an anti-Israel demonstrator harangued the lawmaker from New York’s 14th Congressional District over the war in Israel. “I am a health care worker, and I want to know what you’re doing about the genocide in Gaza,” a female disrupter shouted as AOC spoke on stage, video showed.

A panel of black voters spoke with CNN political analyst Van Jones and thoroughly eviscerated any theories about there being some regret when it comes to Trump supporters. The three individuals, each defined as not supporting the President before ultimately voting for him, had little hesitation when Jones asked if they were currently having second thoughts. Their comments show the media's coverage of 'buyer's regret' has been little more than wishcasting on their part. Jones presented each individual with a simple 'yes or no' question: Would you vote for Trump all over again?
