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,

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.

Today (Tuesday, July 29, 2025), the North Carolina Senate made history by successfully overriding 12 vetoes issued by Governor Josh Stein, the most ever overturned in a single day halting Gov. Stein's liberal agenda in its tracks. We are standing strong for common sense, parental rights, women, minors, businesses and freedom for North Carolinians. All 30 GOP senators voted for the overrides with 19 Democrat senators voting against them. Those overrides, however, must be ratified by the N.C. House. That vote may be months away. The bills overridden include measures to: Senate Bill 50: This bill would ensure that North Carolina becomes the 30th Constitutional Carry state.
Gun laws are changing in North Carolina. Two bills originally vetoed by Gov. Josh Stein have been overridden by the north Carolina legislature. There were a lot of people focused on a bill that would permit guns on the property of private and religious schools. State senators voted to override Stein's veto of House Bill 193 Tuesday, which would allow certain employees and volunteers at private and religious schools to carry concealed guns on campus, if allowed to by school leadership. Supporters say it provides protections similar to a public school, where there are school resource officers. The average time response time for law enforcement is 14 to 20 minutes,"
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].

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,
A magnitude 8.7 earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29, triggering tsunami alerts for the entire U.S. West Coast and portions of the Alaska Aleutian Islands, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The earthquake was recorded at 7:24 p.m. ET, about 78 miles east-southeast of of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said in its updated assessment. The agency said the quake was shallow, at a depth of about 11 miles.
Tsunami advisories are in place along Alaska’s remote Aleutian Islands. The National Tsunami Warning Center advises that tsunami activity is possible at Shemya, Alaska beginning at 4:46 p.m., Alaskan Daylight Time, then at 5:46 p.m.
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.

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:
Several AI-generated images allegedly depicting historical events or imagery from Auschwitz during the Nazi era have been circulating on social networks. While many users can identify them as fake, experts warn that such images deceive some viewers, show disrespect towards the real victims and distort the historical memory of the Holocaust.
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
Blackstone confirmed that one of its executives was among those killed in the July 28 mass shooting at the company’s Park Avenue office building in New York City.
In a statement shared with PEOPLE, the global investment firm said that Wesley LePatner was killed in the attack, which left three other innocent victims dead including off-duty NYPD officer Didarul Islam and injured other people.
“Words cannot express the devastation we feel. Wesley was a beloved member of the Blackstone family and will be sorely missed. She was brilliant, passionate, warm, generous, and deeply respected within our firm and beyond," the statement read. "She embodied the best of Blackstone.
I just got back from Salt Lake, where I took my kids to Wheeler Farm in Murray, Utah. Originally homesteaded in the late 1800’s, the 75-acre property was preserved and turned over to Salt Lake County in the 1970’s.
It was jarring, in the best way, to see a public space so well-run. Admission is free. Kids walk right up to cows, goats, sheep, and chickens. They climb on old tractors, go on wagon rides, race through open fields.

The Trump administration’s trade agreements with a handful of countries are helping Americans feel somewhat more confident about the economy’s health and its future.
Consumer confidence climbed 2 points this month to a reading of 97.2, the Conference Board said Tuesday, showing people’s attitudes about the economy have stabilized after deteriorating sharply during the spring when Trump unveiled massive tariffs that threatened to jack up prices and weaken the labor market.
But consumer confidence has recovered somewhat since then. The stiff levies Trump unveiled in April have been delayed several time
We've been reporting just how bad the Democrats' approval/favorability numbers have been.
There was the Quinnipiac poll that had Congressional Democrats at 19 percent approval, the lowest in the history of asking the question. Then there was the Wall Street Journal survey that showed the party was 30 points underwater with registered voters - far worse than the Republicans. CNN's data analyst Harry Enten summed up how bad things were for the Democrats. He explained that the CNN poll had the Democrats at 26 points underwater, and he also referenced the WSJ poll. Both numbers were the lowest ever.
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.

Federal employees can preach in the workplace under new guidelines issued Monday by the Trump administration that have alarmed advocates for the separation of church and state.
The guidelines, outlined in a memo from the Office of Personnel Management, allow public employees to pray and discuss religion, including efforts to “persuade others of the correctness of their own religious views,” but do not endorse a specific faith. Supervisors are also allowed to encourage workers to engage in expressions of faith, including prayer.
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.

The video is fun, too: Early feedback on the newly-signed U.S.-EU trade deal is overwhelmingly pro-Trump. A BBC analysis with the title “Who are the winners and losers in the US-EU trade deal?” gave a very clear consensus:
French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou commented: "It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, brought together to affirm their common values and to defend their common interests, resigns itself to submission."
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.

Today marks the first anniversary of the slaughter at Southport - at one of those summer-resort activities you sign your kids up for, with nary a thought. In this case, it was a Taylor Swift dance-class, from which three little girls never came home: Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine years old; Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven; and Bebe King six.

The Department of Justice on Monday filed an official misconduct complaint against District Judge James Boasberg "for making improper public comments about President Trump and his Administration," Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
Bondi’s chief of staff Chad Mizelle wrote the complaint, referring to comments the judge made during a March 11 judicial conference, which was attended by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, among others.
“While there, Judge Boasberg attempted to improperly influence Chief Justice Roberts and roughly two dozen other federal judges by straying from the traditional topics
The gunman who killed four people in a Midtown Manhattan office building on Monday night wanted to shoot up the NFL headquarters, Mayor Eric Adams has confirmed.
Shane Tamura, 27, entered the building that houses NFL headquarters, 345 Park Ave., with the intent to attack the football league’s offices. A former high school football player, Tamura carried with him a three-page note that claimed he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a trauma-induced head injury, and expressed that the NFL has hidden the danger of contact sports.
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.

The terms Ukraine and government corruption are synonymous regardless of who is funding the schemes. After Volodymyr Zelenskyy grabbed more power by stripping two key anti-corruption agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), of their independence, protests erupted.
European leaders immediately noticed the intent of the power move and threatened Zelenskyy with a withdrawal of support. The current dictatorship of Zelensky and his small team then quickly reversed course. However, the damage is done, and once again Ukranian corruption is center stage.
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.
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?

The more evidence I see that the Deep State conspired to destroy President Trump’s first term, the more I realize how tough and resilient our president is.
Imagine moving into the White House as the new chief executive and being surrounded by a sinister cabal of venal operatives who take corruption for granted. Imagine looking at a menu of Cabinet choices while realizing that they are all veterans of that warped system. Coming from the business world, where pragmatic decisions are made, and failure doesn’t come out of the pockets of taxpayers, Trump was a threat to every lazy, unprincipled charlatan
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.
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 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.
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.”

Former "Hardball" host Chris Matthews couldn't even spin President Donald Trump's last six months in office and said that the "country is moving towards Trump," and explains why.
During the ex-MSNBC host's appearance on "Charlie Rose," Matthews said he's just not buying into recent polls showing Trump's approval at 37 percent and 41 percent, because America wants a strong figure and he's "got it." It starts at the 32:20 minute mark. "To be honest with you, the country is moving towards Trump," Matthews explained. "These polls, they come out and show him not doing well — I don't buy that. His strength is still greater than the Democrats' strength."

U.S. tariffs on incoming goods look to be settling in only slightly less than what President Donald Trump had threatened in April, but the difference has been enough to ease some of Wall Street’s worst recession fears.
With the U.S.-European Union trade deal over the weekend, it now appears that the effective tariff rate, or the net impact aside from the nominal level, will end up in the 15%-20% range. That’s well above the low single-digit rate in place at the beginning of the year, but well off the feared 25% rate or worse that could have happened as a result of the April 2 announcement.

A hallmark of President Donald Trump’s second term is that he’s not just promoting his own policies — he’s looking to shake up the American power structure from top to bottom.
Step by step, he is undermining or destroying the left’s decades-old program to achieve total dominance of government and politics through its control of money and institutions.
That’s what Trump is up to with his plan to move much of the federal bureaucracy out of the Washington, DC, area and into the rest of the country.
In doing so, he’s infuriating federal bureaucrats leading cushy lives in DC and its suburbs
A 36-year-old married police officer and three other people were shot and killed by a crazed gunman who stormed a swanky Midtown skyscraper early Monday evening — sparking mayhem in Midtown before turning the gun on himself, police said.
The 27-year-old maniac, identified as Las Vegas resident Shane Tamura, barged into the 44-story building — which houses Blackstone and the NFL headquarters — armed with a rifle and opened fire at around 6:30 p.m. during the evening rush, cops and law enforcement sources told The Post.
