Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: An American
Royal Celebrity Engagement

President Trump is sending Venezuela's strongman dictator a gentle nudge, a sort of reminder to behave himself. That reminder is in the form of a United States Navy task group, including the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit. This would be, of course, far more than El Presidente Maduro's country could take on.
This isn't a new tactic. Historically, sending warships to patrol up and down an unfriendly nation's coast is a time-tested way to remind these kinds of people to behave themselves. There's a possibility these ships may have more than one mission, as well.
This military activity follows White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's statement last week
And Democrats do. Over and over again.
Over the last couple of days, I have written about Donald Trump's "cornering strategy," a term I use to describe Trump's deliberate choices to provoke Democrats into defenses of the worst of their policies and outcomes. That is especially apparent on urban crime, where Trump has Democrats attempting to claim that Washington DC streets are safe when their homicide rate far exceeds places like Fallujah on a per-capita basis. Trump has done this all year on issues like trade, foreign policy, and government spending, but it has been particularly effective on immigration, law enforcement, and cultural
The nation was left reeling Wednesday after a tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where a gunman killed two young children and injured several others. Authorities later identified the shooter as a transgender-identifying male with radical left-wing views—a detail the media was quick to downplay. Sadly, this has become an all-too-familiar pattern. Just as we saw after the 2023 Covenant school massacre in Nashville, the press is once again bending over backwards to bury the shooter’s transgender identity. On his Fox News program Wednesday night, Jesse Watters blasted the media for their blatant double standard.
In his monologue, Watters detailed cases of shootings, firebombings, and ideological extremism
The Trump administration on Wednesday announced plans to retake control of Washington, D.C.’s Union Station — its latest measure geared at combating crime in the district.
“Instead of being a point of pride, Washington’s Union Station has fallen into disrepair,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement. “By reclaiming station management, we will help make this city safe and beautiful.”
While the Department of Transportation has owned the historic station since the 1980s, it has allowed a nonprofit, the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation, more control over the station year after year.
When Democrats do something wrong, the story is always that Republicans are "seizing" or "pouncing," as if the criticism is unfair or simply a political ploy to take power away from our rightful rulers.
It's just a fact of life. Pravda exists to harm Republicans and put Democrats in power, so they have to distract from the fact that Democrats are ruining things.
I wrote a few days ago about how the Democratic establishment--not Democrat politicians or activists, but the people whose job it is to win elections--see Trump's moves on fighting crime as a "trap."
After a series of high-profile setbacks, SpaceX made significant progress in righting the ship for its Starship program, at least for one mission.
The latest generation of the world's most powerful rocket and spacecraft combo completed its mission on Tuesday evening during its 10th test flight, achieving the company's primary objectives.
The combination of the Starship, which could someday carry astronauts and cargo to the moon and Mars, and the Super Heavy booster, the rocket that propels the Starship in space, is more than 400 feet tall, made of stainless steel, and is being designed by SpaceX to be fully reusable.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has pledged to help fund legal actions connected to grooming gangs after an investigation identified at least 85 local authorities where child sexual exploitation has taken place.
Writing on his social media platform X, Musk said: “I would like to help fund legal actions against corrupt officials who aided and abetted the rape of Britain, per the official government inquiry. Please reply below for consideration.” His comment was in response to a post by Rupert Lowe MP, chair of the Rape Gang Inquiry, who announced the latest findings on Tuesday.
Elon Musk has shared an England flag on his X profile in an apparent nod of support towards a campaign to fly British and English national colours in towns and cities across the country in recent weeks. The South African tech billionaire, 54, who has paternal English relatives from Liverpool, shared a picture of the St George's flag on his social media profile, which has more than 224 million followers.
Musk has since reposted a mention from news site Visegrád 24, which captioned his earlier flag post with the words "Operation Raise the Colours has reached America". The Tesla and SpaceX founder

You probably remember Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, the genius who thought it would be a good idea to hide an illegal alien in her courthouse and help him escape through a side door when ICE agents came to nab him. Unfortunately for her, she was caught on tape, and a federal grand jury indicted her in May on two charges, which could cost her up to six years in prison and a maximum fine of $350,000. She was also temporarily removed from the bench by the Wisconsin Supreme Court until the case is resolved.
Her defense messaging has been ludicrous,
To paraphrase Winston the Wolf from Pulp Fiction, let's not start shaking each other's hands quite yet. American presidents since Harry Truman have tried to establish Middle East peace as their legacy. We could stretch that back another half-century if we include British and French leaders, for that matter. That even includes Donald Trump, who maybe came closer with the Abraham Accords than anyone since Bill Clinton.
By the time Trump returned to office, Israel was in the middle of fighting a war started by Hamas and joined by Hezbollah and Iran. However, Trump has built enough momentum settling a half-dozen other conflicts
Bill Clinton employed a triangulation strategy to co-opt Republican voters. Donald Trump has spent the first seven months of his presidency employing a cornering strategy. Trump has used his bully pulpit -- perhaps in the most literal sense since the Roosevelts -- to force Democrats to corner themselves onto the fringe positions on issues that matter most to American voters.
This month, Trump has used executive action on crime to force Democrats to side with criminals. He's about to force them to double down with his latest move to end cashless bail in Washington DC, and his efforts to use federal funding to leverage the same change across the country:

The deranged gunman who slaughtered two children and injured at least 17 others who were attending morning mass at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has been identified — as a disturbing video believed to have been posted by the shooter shows “kill Donald Trump” and “for the children” scrawled on gun magazines.
Robin Westman, who is in his early 20s, opened fire through the stained glass windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during a celebratory back-to-school Mass filled with children, around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Police are investigating whether a series of sick YouTube videos shared on an account hours before the shooting was connected to Westman, law enforcement sources told The Post.
President Donald Trump called for leftist billionaire and mega-donor George Soros and his son, Alex Soros, to be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act due to their financial support of violent protesters in the United States. In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Soros and “his group of psychopaths” of causing “great damage” to the United States. Trump added that his administration would not “allow these lunatics to rip apart America” any longer.
The Minneapolis Police Department confirmed an active shooter allegedly opened fire at a church on the south side of Minneapolis Wednesday.
Details are scarce but an army of police and paramedics arrived at Annunciation Church, 509 W. 54th Street. Sources confirmed for KARE 11's Lou Raguse that there is an active shooter situation unfolding at the church. KARE 11 has multiple crews headed to the scene and will have the latest on the situation and victims.
President Trump has threatened to send National Guard troops into more American cities after deploying soldiers in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles this year He’s highlighted Baltimore and Chicago as cities in particular need of help fighting crime, though Monday he appeared to back off his threat to unilaterally deploy the National Guard into cities uninvited.
Baltimore has the third-highest rate of violent crime, while Chicago ranks 29th among cities with at least 500,000 residents, according to the latest FBI data.
Trump’s focus on cities in blue states — those led by Democratic governors — with Black mayors has drawn criticism from Democrats,

We need to mark this one freeze frame, this digital data point in time, as that moment leftist lunacy was fully exposed in its utter moral collapse.
We think we've seen it before in the election losses, the USAID money laundering scandal, the cheating vote counters, the Beria school of malpractice at the Justice Department, and cheering for criminals. However, this moment, this snapshot, says it all.Like a controlled demolition of an old relic of a building, the scene in a Mexican restaurant captured on video showed a piece-by-piece, trope-by-trope implosion of the leftist superstructure built on the foundation of bigotry, lunacy, and hearsay.
Fox News anchor John Roberts revealed he will be away from the news desk as he battles a severe case of malaria.
Roberts, 68, announced his diagnosis on Tuesday after viewers noticed he was not on the airwaves during his 1pm America Reports time slot.
'I somehow came down with a severe case of Malaria,' the veteran anchor wrote on X.'I can honestly say that I am the only person in the hospital with Malaria. In fact, one of my doctors said I'm the first case he has ever seen.'
Britain's Royal Air Force scrambled spy planes as it joined NATO in a huge hunt for a Russian submarine suspected of threatening a US aircraft carrier off Norway.
In what defence sources are calling a 'highly unusual surge' of activity, NATO allies have deployed at least 27 specialist submarine-hunting sorties since Sunday in an urgent bid to track the vessel.
The operation, which insiders insist is not a drill, comes as the USS Gerald R. Ford - the most advanced and expensive aircraft carrier in the world, worth around £11 billion, carries out exercises with the Norwegian Navy in Arctic waters.
One reason that many Republican voters took a shine to Donald Trump in 2016 was the way he showed no respect to the national chattering classes of the Democrat-media complex. George W. Bush was a kinder, gentler Republican -- and they compared him to Hitler. No matter which flavor of Republican was elected, the "objective" media savaged him.
We've reached the 20th anniversary of deadly Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico, which killed an estimated 1,836 Americans. But misinformation landed first. NBC and MSNBC tremendously hyped Democrat Mayor Ray Nagin's "Today" show estimate of 10,000 dead in New Orleans.

MSNBC’s Jen Psaki wasted no time at all trying to capitalize on the horrific school shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Wednesday. Police responded to the ghastly scene at the school shortly before 8:27 a.m. local time. After the dust settled, authorities revealed that two children died and 17 people were injured during the attack. Less than three hours later, Psaki, the Democratic flack-turned-de facto-Democratic flack, was doing the only thing she knows how to. “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings. prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids
The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning.
Somali autism fraud, partly linked to the ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam, may be even bigger and after the FBI raids of autism clinics last December, the scale of it is still being put together.
In March 2023, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) stood in front of cameras and made a bold promise: 1,200 taxpayer-funded "tiny homes" would be deployed across the state by that fall to combat the exploding homelessness crisis. The cost? A staggering $750 million from California taxpayers. However, as we approach fall 2025, neither the 1,200 homes nor any trace of the $750 million can be found.
This is California under Democrat control: big promises, bloated budgets, and nothing to show for it.
ST. LOUIS – Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office drew attention to St. Louis over the weekend in a series of social media posts comparing murder rates in California cities to cities in states led by Republican governors. One post specifically compared St. Louis to Oakland, California, stating “St. Louis’ murder rate is a staggering 190% higher than Oakland’s. Do you think Fox [News] will cover that?” The post included a graphic with FBI-cited homicide rates per 100,000 residents, alongside an image of the Oakland Fox Theater and Republican Missouri U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley. According to Nexstar San Francisco
