President Ronald Reagan often quipped that the "closest thing to eternal life we are ever likely to see here on Earth is a federal agency." He was elected on a platform that included promises to shut down the then-new departments of Education and Energy. But Reagan gave up the effort to abolish both departments early in his first term when it became clear the Democratically controlled Congress would never go along with cancelling Jimmy Carter's creations. So Terell Bell and William Bennett served as education secretaries under Reagan, while James Edwards, Donald Hodel and John Herrington filled the energy chief duties.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested 243 illegal aliens in the Denver metro area during a nine-day deportation operation that ended on Wednesday. Those detained include aliens from 17 different countries, and some have significant criminal records.
According to ICE officials, the immigration enforcement operation, conducted between July 12 to July 20, resulted in the arrests of illegal aliens who are known associates of the notorious Tren de Aragua (TdA) Venezuelan gang and others with ties to Mexican drug cartels and other transnational criminal organizations.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested an illegal immigrant working as a police officer in Maine after he allegedly tried to unlawfully purchase a firearm, officials announced on Monday.
Officers arrested Jamaican alien Jon Luke Evans with the assistance of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) after his firearm purchase attempt in Biddeford on July 25 “raised concerns tied to his immigration status,” according to an agency press release.
Evans was employed as a reserve police officer with the Old Orchard Beach Police Department at the time of his arrest, according to the agency. [Tweet]
“Jon Luke Evans not only broke U.S. immigration law,
Democrat Russia collusion hoax investigator April Doss was fired as NSA General Counsel on Tuesday, according to the New York Times.
According to a recent report by The Daily Wire, April Doss worked for the Senate Democrats on their Russia collusion witch hunt against Trump.
“Just months into Trump’s first term as president, she took a high-level job working for Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) on the Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating supposed Russian interference in the 2016 election. Doss was the Democrats’ Senior Counsel for the committee’s Russia investigation,
Emil Bove was confirmed to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in a 50-49 vote.
Toxic RINOs Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine) voted no.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi congratulated Emil Bove. [Tweet]
Collins said on MSNBC on Tuesday that Emil Bove “would not serve as an impartial jurist” based on his work to ferret out corrupt prosecutors while serving as acting Deputy Attorney General.
Senate Democrats and their media stenographers launched one attack after another in order to derail Emil Bove’s confirmation to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
Democrats are terrified of Emil Bove, one of President Trump’s personal attorneys who immediately got to work gutting corrupt prosecutors
As the Department of Homeland Security continues to carry out President Donald Trump's mass deportation of criminal illegal aliens in cities across the country, the number of sex offenders being taken off the streets is astonishing.
In Houston alone, more than 200 child sex offenders have been arrested since January. [Video]
In June DHS announced the arrest of an illegal alien who was not only a sex offender, but attempted to murder an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent with his car.
“Robert Carlos Munoz is a child sex offender and illegal alien from Guatemala
As the Democrats continue to attempt to use every trick in the book to block confirmation of Trump’s judicial nominees, the president came after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Tuesday, urging him to stop honoring a tradition whereby a single senator can nuke an appointment just because he or she feels like it.
It’s called the “blue slip” tradition, and it works like this:
The Senate’s blue slip policy allows home-state senators to signal their approval or disapproval of a judicial nominee appointed to a seat in their state by filling out and returning a blue slip of paper to the SJC [Senate Judiciary Committee].
Tim Burchett Injured After Getting Kicked

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) is not your typical 60-year-old member of Congress.
Unlike some members, Burchett believes he has to inform people about what he's working on in Congress. So he regularly posts on X about the bills he's involved in and what he's doing. He still likes to shred a skateboard around the Capitol, and he regularly verbally takes down a stalker who waits for him as he goes back and forth to work.
I think he's a tough bird, and he showed it with the latest news.
He was accidentally kicked by a horse over the weekend, breaking a rib.
Remember how, in recent years, nearly every high-profile “racist incident” that dominated the headlines eventually turned out to be a false flag or outright hoax? Well, nothing’s changed. The outrage-obsessed left has apparently run out of real things to be angry about, so now they’re inventing reasons to keep the mob frothing.
Case in point: the latest American Eagle ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. According to some perpetually offended leftists, it’s somehow Nazi propaganda. Yes, really. [Video]
Yeah, I don’t get it either. In one spot, Sweeney says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring,
The Crime of Speaking Hebrew in Europe

Israeli musician Amit Peled sat down to dinner with a friend at an Italian restaurant in Vienna, Austria. After ordering, he resumed his conversation with his friend, only to have the waiter return and ask what language he was speaking.
"I replied casually, ‘English and German.’ ‘No, no,’ he insisted. ‘What were you just speaking now?’ I answered, ‘Hebrew, of course.’ He looked me directly in the eye and said, without hesitation: ‘In that case, leave. I’m not serving you food.’ Just like that.”
It's not an isolated incident, not by any means.
A group of 44 young French Jews was on a plane from Valencia, Spain,
If you thought you’d seen theatrics in the United States Senate before, buckle up. Cory Booker, ever the drama king (queen?) from New Jersey, turned what should have been a routine discussion over a police funding bill into a one-man Broadway show, complete with finger-pointing at his own party and impassioned diatribes about the imminent descent of the country into authoritarian chaos. That’s right, one of the Senate’s most reliably emotional voices managed to deliver another performance that all but confirmed the absence of meaningful leadership and unity among Democrats.
Booker’s tirade began with a familiar refrain:
Many are surprised when I tell them I'm a baseball fan -- especially a Chicago Cubs fan. The high school I attended was a short walk to Wrigley Field, so I have fond memories of school-sponsored Cubs Days and even ditching class to be a bleacher bum. Second baseman, infielder, and all-around team player Ryne Sandberg was a big part of that. (Snip) Tragically, in December 2024, Sandberg announced that the cancer had returned and had spread to other organs.
On Monday, Ryne Sandberg lost his cancer battle. The Hall of Famer is dead at 65.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat down for an interview with Lara Trump this past week at the State Department, and it aired on her Fox News show "My View with Lara Trump" on Saturday night. But it wasn't your typical interview. Rather than just focusing on the current issues, Rubio talked more about his life, his experience over the last six months in his new position(s), what it's like to work for Donald Trump, and, of course, what his plans are for 2028. What he said might surprise you.
First up, they talked about the State Department

French Prime Minister François Bayrou is criticizing the trade deal struck by President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as an act of “submission” by the European Union (EU).
“It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, united to affirm their values and defend their interests, resolves to submission,” Bayrou said in a post on social platform X early Monday. The agreement sets tariffs at 15 percent for European imports, including automobiles. That’s lower than the 30 percent tariff Trump had threatened to impose on the EU but higher than some European officials would have liked to see —
The political left will never recover from Trump Derangement Syndrome. President Donald Trump could put the economy on a perpetual growth path, stop World War III, bring permanent peace to the Middle East, resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict and in his spare time cure cancer and put a man on Mars, and the Democrats and progressives would still blindly hate him. Would the Republicans and conservatives who have battered and cursed him since 2015 continue to bitterly disapprove of him, as well?
Trump has had an extraordinary run so far. An AI analysis by Newsweek says the first six months of Trump’s second term “have been the most
The United Kingdom will recognize a Palestinian state if Israel does not agree to a ceasefire and move toward peace in Gaza by September, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned Tuesday.
Starmer made the announcement during a press conference on Tuesday, just a day after meeting with President Donald Trump in Scotland and discussing the Israel-Hamas war and the hunger crisis in Gaza.
"I can confirm that the U.K. will recognize the State of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September, unless
CNN’s Erin Burnett is being skewered for reporting that the gunman who opened fire in a Midtown skyscraper — killing an NYPD cop and three others — was “possibly white” after viewing the initial security footage released immediately after Shane Tamura’s deadly rampage. In the photos first shared online, Tamura, 27, was captured in broad daylight walking into 345 Park Ave. with a Palmetto State Armory AR-15 rifle in his hand. Burnett said police knew the gunman had “sunglasses, mustache, male, possibly white” during a broadcast shortly after the shooting Monday evening.

Democratic nominee for mayor Zohran Mamdani addressed the mass shooting at a Park Avenue office building while at his family’s private compound in Uganda, where he is celebrating his wedding. “I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in midtown and I am holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts,” Mamdani wrote in a post to X. (Snip) Mamdani is in Uganda celebrating his nuptials at a heavily guarded private compound in the wealthy Buziga Hill area outside the capital city, Kampala.

As President Donald Trump marks six months into his second term — celebrating triumphs like ending numerous wars, slashing job-killing regulations, making tax cuts permanent, and signing over 140 executive orders to revive America's energy independence and economy — one persistent swamp creature threatens to derail it all.
In the depths of the “Washington swamp,” few figures embody the betrayal of true conservative values like Senator Lindsey Graham. Once a vocal critic of Donald Trump, Graham flipped like a pancake after the MAGA-leader took over the Oval office — raising eyebrows and fueling theories that he's been “activated” by shadowy forces.
The Donald Trump-Russia collusion scandal that first broke in December 2016 and roared on until April 2019 has no parallel in our history — it’s not even close.
As president-elect and later as sitting president, Trump was accused by the country’s intelligence and law-enforcement apparatus of conspiring with a hostile power to subvert the 2016 election and sneak a crooked path to the White House.
Along the way, a damning Intelligence Community Assessment was issued, a major FBI investigation, code-named Crossfire Hurricane, targeted the president, and a special counsel, Robert Mueller, was granted a team of prosecutors and a budget of millions to bring the guilty to justice.
The Trump administration on Tuesday proposed repealing the federal government’s bedrock scientific declaration on the dangers of greenhouse gases — a move that would run afoul of decades of research and topple most of the Environmental Protection Agency’s climate regulations.
The rollback is the most audacious attempt yet by President Donald Trump to undo federal restrictions on fossil fuels. The so-called endangerment finding, which the Obama administration issued in 2009
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is a barrel of laughs. She’s feisty and doesn’t take any crap from the GOP. She’s perfectly willing to allow her detractors to view her as mentally ill. She’s ready to deliver haymakers—the problem is that her trainer is trash. The Atlantic did a lengthy profile piece on the Democratic congresswoman, some of which is run-of-the-mill Americana: she was educated privately, reportedly subjected to racism in college, got interested in the law because of those incidents, and went about building her profile by defending Black Lives Matter defendants. She had a brief stint in the Texas legislature before sharking her way up to Congress.
The gunman who killed four people before turning the gun on himself, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, was trying to target the National Football League headquarters, NYC Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday. Investigators believe Tamura mistakenly took the wrong elevator, leading him to Rudin Management instead, Adams told NewsNation local affiliate WPIX. Tamura reportedly had a three-page suicide note inside his pocket, which claimed he had a brain injury from a contact sport and blamed the NFL. Tamura, who played high school football, reportedly wanted his brain studied after his death. An official motive has not yet been released.

Israel is blaming the UN for the lack of vital food deliveries to Gaza — as harrowing video captured hundreds of desperate Palestinians swarming aid trucks over the weekend.
Israel officials are hitting back at claims that they have delayed aid from coming into Gaza — sharing images of tons of aid piled up inside the Gaza Strip, which they said is just waiting to be delivered to hungry Palestinians.
Col. Abdullah Halabi, from the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), told reporters last week that around 1,000 truckloads of aid remain undelivered “due to a lack of cooperation from the international community and international organizations.”
