On Friday afternoon, President Trump, in his words, "terminat[ed]" the current trade talks the U.S. and Canada have been having on tariffs, effective immediately." Remarkably it was just 11 days ago when the president was forced by his duties as America's commander in chief to cut short his attendance at the G7 summit in Canada, readers might recall. Although, the U.S. contingent remained behind, and chalked up a trade deal with one of our allies, the United Kingdom. Now, Canadian officials have acted in a way that the Trump administration had decided to react on in return. As I said, on Friday Trump made

Canada, and Europe has gotten used to having the US subsidize their socialist medical system and socialist governments as a whole. Thats not fair to US citizens. Thank you, President Trump, to be the only US president to have the guts to take on this massive problem.

The Canadians and Europeans are going to play the long game with the U.S. They will pretend to negotiate until Trump's term is over and then continue their one-sided economic policies because they can't survive with their living standards under equal policies. They will experience mass riots from the spoiled masses if they have to go to working 40 hour weeks and reduced vacation times.

#2, I’d be interested to know how our country is subsiding Canada and Europe’s “socialism.” Are we shoveling money to these countries? Are they sending their bills to DC for payment? I really would like to know

#7, I believe what #2 is referring to are past trade deals between the U.S. and European countries that are heavily weighted in THEIR favor while screwing America. These countries then use our money to fund their liberal ideas. Look up why Trump made the "Canada as a 51st state comment" (hint: Trudope was whining that a reciprocal trade deal would destroy Canada).

Canada enjoys roughly $250 billion surplus against the US year after year. What is the justification for that? That is what I would really like to know. If trade rules were neutral and Americans preferred a quarter trillion dollars worth of goods and services more from Canada than they want ours that is another thing. But that's not the case.

After getting schlonged by President Trump in November, Democrats did what they always do after a big loss: entered a cocoon of denial. Post-election poll after poll showed 2024’s Big Loser, Kamala Harris, with a commanding lead over her closest rivals, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). What a difference six months can make. Not only has Kamala Kollapsed in the latest poll of 2028 Democrat contenders, no one’s excited about her potential run for California governor.

The essence of deterrence is credibility. The best way to stop Russia from attacking even a small NATO country — one of the Baltic states, say — is for Vladimir Putin to be convinced that the risk of major retaliation is too great to take. This is why President Trump’s reaction to the commitment by NATO members at their recent summit to more than double their defense-spending target is welcome, even if a partial opt-out for Spain is not. NATO, said Trump, was not a “rip-off,” high praise from this president. NATO’s European members “really love their countries . . . and we’re here to help them.” Critically, Trump emphasized

The Islamic Republic of Iran nearly succeeded in assassinating former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, according to a new book called "2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America," which was obtained by The Washington Post one month ahead of its publication in July. The report published by The Washington Post on Friday cited the book saying that the time and place where the assassination nearly succeeded was while Pompeo was in a hotel in Paris three years ago. The book provides no further details than that, the report said. Last September, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his campaign were informed by intelligence

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in Trump v. CASA, Inc., released Friday, finally put the brakes on the reckless abuse of nationwide injunctions by lower courts—and has Democrats in full meltdown mode. The left’s favorite judicial weapon just got neutered, and the hypocrisy is impossible to ignore. The liberal wing of the court didn’t do itself any favors, either. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent was so horrible that Justice Amy Coney Barrett felt compelled to call it out in the majority opinion. But Justice Elena Kagan’s credibility also took a direct hit. In a stunning display of judicial flip-flopping, Kagan’s own words from 2022 have come back to haunt her,

On the same day, Admiral Miao Hua was kicked out of the Central Military Commission (CMC), the governing body of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

Thomas Pham LeGro made a court appearance in U.S. District Court on Friday, after being arrested on Thursday.

No doubt that leftists will scream that the Court has backed the "Christian Nationalists" or make some similar complaint, so it's hilarious that the case that opens the door for parents to keep their kids from being subjected to alphabet ideology in the schools will forever be known as Mahmoud v Taylor. Mahmoud. That is funny. At the root of the case is Maryland's assertion that allowing parents to opt their children out of being indoctrinated with all sorts of alphabet ideology propaganda was too large a burden for the school to bear if they wanted to educate kids.

We all know by now that President Donald Trump won the 2024 election by some pretty big numbers, but a new study out from the Pew Research Center gives us a closer look at the people behind those numbers. The news is better than we thought, and it was already pretty good. According to the analysis, voters who supported Trump in 2024 are "far more racially and ethnically diverse" than they were in 2020 or 2016. //snip//The conclusion? "...if all Americans eligible to vote in 2024 had cast ballots, the overall margin in the popular vote likely would not have been much different." Trump still would have won.

As RedState reported, the Trump administration scored a major victory on Friday after the Supreme Court ruled that district court-level nationwide injunctions exceeded judicial authority. That will throw a wrench into the left-wing strategy of seeking universal relief in a select few left-wing jurisdictions across the country and hopefully return some actual balance to the separation of powers within the U.S. government. Of course, while the decision was a victory for common sense and for voters who would prefer judges not overstep their bounds to essentially operate as president, it was a defeat for Democrats who have relied on that abuse to remain in power even when they lose.

The court ruled 6-3 in Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v.

Justice Elena Kagan dissented, joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion for the majority.

Our South Carolina neighborhood has green cans for garbage and blue cans for recycling. All our neighbors dutifully separate their garbage. We don’t, and we don’t for a very specific reason. What I discovered a couple of years ago is that, while different trucks drive around collecting blue and green cans on garbage day, at the end of the shift, the trucks dump all the garbage into the same landfill. It’s a scam that, according to my local representative, makes people feel good about themselves. When I lived in Marin County, California, we also had to separate our garbage. That wasn’t surprising, though

They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters. A letter that was received by one of the prosecutors was signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday handed down its ruling in the parental rights case of Mahmoud v. Taylor. In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS decided that parents do have the right to opt their elementary school-aged (pre-K through 8th grade) children out of classroom instruction that may include materials on gender and sexuality. The three dissenters were Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito states that the parents involved were likely to succeed in their claim that the school system, by not allowing the opt-out on LGBTQ-themed classroom activities, was an unconstitutional burden on their religious liberties.

Girls don’t usually fight. There are sound reasons for this – reasons of general decorum, biology, hormones, jewelry, dresses and hairdos. But when they do, boy oh boy, it can be a doozy. It happened yesterday at the Supreme Court. The case was an appeal of a district court order issuing a “universal injunction” against President Trump’s executive order seeking to abolish “birthright citizenship.” Birthright citizenship is the kind you get if you’re born in America even if your parents are here illegally. The 14th Amendment seems to provide for it, although there is a non-frivolous argument that it does not.

June 27 really needs to be a national holiday wherein we collectively observe the bottomless depravity of the dying news media. We could call it something like “Biden Debate Day.” The date is significant because it was the start of a 131-day journey that showed just how far the media were willing to go to steal an election. June 27 was the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, or as I like to recall it, “The day the media knew Biden had to go.” Up until then — it was the one and only time voters got to directly compare Trump and Biden side by side in 2024 —
