In a 50-49 vote, the U.S. Senate voted on Tuesday evening to confirm Trump nominee Emil Bove as a judge on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska joined Democrats in voting against Bove’s nomination. Bove’s nomination was advanced to the full Senate by the Senate Judiciary Committee in a party-line vote on July 17. The upper chamber subsequently voted to invoke cloture on his nomination last Thursday, with Collins and Murkowski joining Democrats in opposition.

Will Alaska please get rid of Murkowski. She is a demonrat and doesn't vote for Alaska's interests.

Since they have rank choice voting in Alaska poster #3, they (and we) are likely stuck with her.

Thune needs to up his game and speed up the process of getting Trump's picks sworn in. Keep the Senate in session and let them know that they can go home only after all the work is done.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to talk about illegal immigration, but specifically about the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. She’s been very vocal about U.S. policy toward Mexico. For example, she said she would offer legal counsel to her citizens that were here illegally that were picked up, she thought, unfairly or too violently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.She also said that the United States had no business taxing remittances—that is money that Mexican nationals here, for the most part illegally, send back to Mexico. She said, “Do not come into Mexican national ground if you’re going after the cartels.”

The Senate has confirmed President Donald Trump’s nominee, Joe Kent, as the next Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Kent was confirmed by the Senate in a 52–44 vote late Tuesday, according to the chamber’s roll call website.His wife, Shannon, was killed in Syria on Jan. 16, 2019, during operations against ISIS — just weeks after the Trump administration announced plans to withdraw U.S. troops from the region.Kent also served as acting chief of staff to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, according to a Washington Post report.
Diplomatic Terrorism?: France's Recognition

International law — particularly Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention — defines the criteria for statehood: a permanent population, a defined territory, an effective government, and the capacity to engage in relations with other states. Yet neither of the two Palestinian political entities meets these criteria. By choosing to recognize a "Palestinian state" that clearly fails to meet these established criteria, France departs from any international law. Macron's declaration is not a matter of legal recognition, but a political gesture — ideological and electoral — masquerading as diplomacy.

President Trump’s trade policies are less damaging than expected, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) upgrading the projections of global economic growth for this year and 2026. The IMF, a Washington-based financial institution that works on facilitating international trade and sustained economic growth, projected a 3 percent global economic growth for 2025, 0.2 percentage points higher than the previous forecast from April, according to its Tuesday report. The organization, which consists of 190 member countries, is also projecting a 3.1 percent growth in 2026, 0.1 percentage point higher than the previous forecast.

MAIDENS, South Ayrshire, Scotland — U.S. President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively Monday that Chinese president Xi Jinping has been clamoring for a meeting in-person with him soon, and that may happen as soon as sometime this year, either in China or at the White House in the United States. Trump told Breitbart News he would be willing to meet with Xi, whom he has long had a cordial personal relationship with despite rising tensions between the U.S. and China, if Xi so desires and wants such a meeting. Therein lies the important point here though—

On Tuesday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart News economics editor John Carney talked about pharmaceutical manufacturing. Carney said, “I’d say pharmaceuticals [are] the weakest spot so far. We’re entirely reliant on the rest of the world for pharmaceuticals, from everything from like over-the-counter things that…should be really easy to make…to more high-tech drugs, we’re severely dependent on foreign imports.” He added that while people say we can import from the E.U., “What happens if the E.U. doesn’t like our Israel, for instance, and they say, okay, we’re not going to sell you your statins, right?” And India could do likewise over tariff policy or South Korea policy.

At the core of The Atlantic’s unnecessarily long profile on loud Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett is the argument that, “when the Republicans go low, the Democrats should meet them there.” As Rachel Jeantel so famously put it, “That’s real retarded, sir.” The notion that Democrats have for too long shown excessive restraint or pitched themselves to voters with a naive intellectualism while being punched in the mouth by brute Republicans is a hysterical myth, one that only persists because the media that helped create it continue to perpetuate it.

Chinese Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping is mobilizing state entities, including, in this case, China State Shipbuilding Corp., in his all-of-society effort to achieve food security. [T]his effort is another signal that he is preparing to attack. There is one more element to Xi's food plan: Attack American agriculture. In June, three Chinese nationals were charged with attempting to smuggle biological agents into the United States. The Chinese attempts this year to smuggle pathogens may be only the latest incidents in a Chinese campaign to bring down American agriculture. China's regime, it appears, has been trying to plant invasive species in America since at least 2020.

President Donald Trump is once again setting the record straight — this time blasting the media’s selective amnesia on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal while revealing he rejected an invitation to Epstein’s notorious “pedo island,” unlike former President Bill Clinton, who allegedly made 28 separate visits. Speaking Monday during a press appearance in Scotland with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, President Trump unloaded on the legacy media for ignoring the real predators connected to Epstein. “I never went to the island, and Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times. I never went to the island, but Larry Summers, I hear, went there.

If history is any guide, Democrats should enter next fall's midterm election cycle with a distinct advantage. Generally, the opposition party fares well in these contests -- sometimes very well. Looking back over the past two decades, for instance, four of the last five midterm cycles have resulted in waves (blue in 2006, 2018; red in 2010 and 2014). But in 2022, Democrats over-performed expectations and held the GOP to a 'red trickle,' which was still sufficient for Republicans to take back the House, but just barely. Given the tiny margins in both Congressional chambers right now,

The owner of a Florida telecommunications company will spend the next five years in prison and his firm must pay a hefty fine regarding an “Obama phone” scam. Q Link Wireless LLC and its owner, identified as CEO Issa Asad, previously pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit wire fraud and steal federal funds from the Lifeline program that began in the 1980s, Fox News reported Sunday. The program offers subsidized cellphone services to lower-income people. In 2012, a video emerged of a protester outside a Mitt Romney event who claimed her neighbors received an “Obama phone,” Breitbart News reported at the time.

The scandal-scarred independents running for New York City mayor stand little chance against frontrunner Zohran Mamdani — even if the rivals team up against the socialist candidate, a shocking new poll found. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and Democratic nominee, is projected to handily win the November general election with 50% of likely voters in the latest survey, released Tuesday by Zenith Research/Public Progress Solutions. Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has decided to continue his comeback tour after his embarrassing June primary loss to 33-year-old Mamdani, came in a distant second at 22%, while the GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa pulled 13%.

While most of the country has erupted in outrage after an angry mob savagely assaulted two white people in downtown Cincinnati over the weekend, one prominent local politician has the exact opposite reaction to the story. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a group of black individuals smacked around a bald white guy at the intersection of West Fourth Street and Elm Street in downtown Cincy and beat him so bad that he could not get up. Then, a white woman got slugged by one of the cowards. Her head slammed down onto the concrete, and she lost consciousness. Blood was seen coming out of her mouth.

The letter, addressed directly to FBI Director Kash Patel, demands that the unevaluated materials — which include sensitive intelligence, foreign communications, and damning evidence related to the Clinton Foundation and Barack Obama — be immediately reviewed and exposed to the American people.

A radioactive wasp nest has been discovered near a former nuclear weapon manufacturing facility in South Carolina. The nest was found by workers at the Savannah River Site in Aiken County, according to a report from the Department of Energy. According to reports, the contaminated nest was found on July 3, just before 2 p.m., by Radiological Control Operations workers during routine inspections. Located on a stanchion near a tank in the F-Area tank farm, the nest registered a staggering 100,000 disintegrations per minute (dpm), a level described as “moderately high” radiation. Workers promptly sprayed the nest to eliminate the wasps, which were then bagged and disposed of as radiological waste.

Easterly graduated from West Point in 1990.Easterly led CISA from July 2021 to January 2025, a time period during which she oversaw the agency’s efforts to censor Americans.

The House is in recess now, but that hasn't stopped silly Democrats like Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) from lame attacks on Republicans and President Donald Trump. It's all they know how to do since, as former Democratic operative Dan Turrentine noted, they don't have any agenda. He posted videos doing things like swimming in a pool or lifting weights saying that he should be working and lowering costs for people. (Snip) Swalwell was roundly mocked on X. Fox's Greg Gutfeld had a little fun with him, as our sister site Twitchy reported. Gutfeld said Swalwell's videos gave "the ick." That mocking upset Swalwell, who then decided to embarrass himself more.

Once upon a time in America, taxpayers were scandalized to learn the Pentagon paid $400 for a toilet seat. It was front-page news. Congressional hearings were convened. Outrage flowed like prune juice at the Biden White House breakfast buffet. Fast forward to 2025, and no one bats an eye over spending more than that for just a toilet. In fact, the federal government under the Biden administration set aside a whopping $7.5 billion in cold, hard, debased American currency—and to date, we’ve got a grand total of 384 E.V. chargers to show for it. And here’s the twist: hardly anyone is shocked.

The U.S. economy under President Donald Trump exceeded expectations and grew at an annualized rate of three percent in the second quarter, according to Commerce Department data released on Wednesday. The Commerce Department report found the American economy, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), made the gains from April through June. GDP is a measure of a basket of goods and serves to measure growth throughout the U.S. economy. The three percent figure exceeds the Dow Jones estimate at 2.3 percent and reversed the 0.5 percent decline the first quarter of the year experienced.

A WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries was interrupted on Tuesday night after a bizarre object was thrown on to the floor late in the fourth quarter. The Valkyries had rebounded a miss with about one minute left in the game when the object flew from the stands and down onto the court. The object bounced a few times away from the ballhandler and then toward the near sideline. The object appeared to be a lime green sex toy. The broadcast showed the object on the floor for a brief moment before everyone realized what it was. "Inappropriate. Get them out of here, whoever it is,"
