He also insisted to White House Correspondent Francesca Chambers Trump was in “incredibly good health”, despite recent questions about the president’s physical wellbeing

We know he is. I can't think of anyone I'd rather have. He's still better than Harris and/or Walz. We dodged a huge bullet with those two.

Good to have someone waiting in the wings, so an expensive, faction based primary does not happen. Unlike the Dems who will likely stage a cage match to pick their candidate.

Vance seems honest enough and 'may be' a fair manager, but to lead we need someone with the proven skills of running large international organizations. Tough to find, I know, but it is the direction we need to look. A decision maker, a proven leader. Governors may qualify. Politicians make political decisions.

JD Vance in Wisconsin: Donald Trump Has
Successfully Gotten Democrats to Support Crime

Vice President JD Vance says President Donald Trump has successfully gotten Democrats to support violent crime in the nation’s capital after the administration deployed the National Guard to help the Metropolitan Police Department cut crime. During a speech in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Vance said Democrats are going as far as to mock violent crime problems in cities across the United States, only because Trump is looking to step in and help local law enforcement to make communities safer. “Is Milwaukee a super safe city right now? It has some crime problems. It’s a beautiful city. There are a lot of incredible, hard-working people who live there,” Vance said.

The Department of Education (ED) announced on Thursday that a Colorado School District violated Title IX by converting a high school girls’ restroom into an “all-gender” restroom and by allowing students to access facilities that match their “gender identity.” The department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) found Denver Public Schools (DPS) in violation of Title IX’s prohibition against sex discrimination after launching an investigation into the district in January. The department initiated the probe after a local report alleged that the district had converted a girls’ restroom in East High School to a multi-stall “all-gender” restroom,

Another tragedy unfolded in Minneapolis this past week, and the details are telling. Instead of an honest discussion about crime, violence, and the safety of our communities, we once again watched the media twist itself into knots to avoid offending the “protected classes” of today’s progressive culture. Who could’ve predicted that placating delusion and coddling mental instability would lead to unfettered violence? The storyline is predictable: when a criminal fits a certain profile, the media blasts it across the headlines as proof of some larger cultural plague. But when the same violence comes from a person who identifies as transgender,

I've been working on something about this for a couple of weeks, but other stories and life events have pulled me away from it.

It still isn't, but it's beginning to, which is just another sign that we're getting closer to the edge of something big, most likely the end of the Nicolás Maduro regime and years of Chavista dictatorship in a country that is down on its knees.

Last month, Social Security celebrated its 87th “birthday.” Since being signed into law in August 1935 and beginning payouts on Jan. 1, 1940, Social Security has served as a financial foundation for our nation’s retired workforce. Today, more than 48 million retired workers are receiving a monthly check that averages $1,670.95, as of July. While this might not sound like a lot — especially with inflation at four-decade highs — Social Security plays a key role in helping recipients make ends meet. According to national pollster Gallup, 89% of surveyed retirees count on Social Security as a “major” or “minor” source of income.

Tuesday marked a watershed moment in the fight for constitutional rights and the protection of government whistleblowers. The ACLJ is proud to announce a complete and total victory for our client, FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle, who has been fully vindicated through a comprehensive settlement agreement with the DOJ made possible by President Trump’s administration and his new leadership at the DOJ and FBI. The DOJ has agreed to fully restore FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle with back pay, benefits, damages, and full reinstatement – including his security clearance – after years of persecution under the Biden administration.

President Trump on Thursday floated the idea of holding a 2026 national convention to galvanize Republicans ahead of the must-win mid-term elections. “I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms,” Trump posted on Truth Social. The president didn’t mention a potential venue, but advised supporters to “stay tuned.” Trump’s gambit would mark the first time the GOP has held a convention during a mid-term election. To explain his thinking, the president asserted that “the Republican Party is doing really well” and has raised “far more money than Democrats” -

On the north bank of the Thames, ironically opposite the Tower of London, a fortress is rising. Officially, it’s the new Chinese Embassy. In reality, it looks less like a diplomatic mission and more like the command post of a hostile power. A sprawling, six-acre compound big enough to garrison a small army. Europe’s largest embassy? Spare me. After GCHQ confirmed Chinese state-sponsored hackers have been targeting our telecoms, transport and even military infrastructure for years, only a fool would see this as anything other than a surveillance citadel with a red flag on top. One conveniently parked a stone’s throw from MI6.

There’s a certain way Democrat leaders are speaking in recent days, and they’re all expressing some variation of what the party’s national committee chair said this week: Democrats “cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore.” Everyone should interpret that to mean Democrats are out for blood, literally. That’s in no way an overstatement, not least because Democrats spent a significant portion of the last election season openly fantasizing about legally murdering Donald Trump (and then ultimately shrugging when he was actually shot). That’s in no way an overstatement,

Florida’s immigration jail known as “Alligator Alcatraz” will probably be empty of detainees within days, a state official has said, indicating compliance with a judge’s order last week that the facility must close. The Republican governor Ron DeSantis’s administration appealed the order by federal court judge Kathleen Williams that the tented detention camp in the Florida Everglades, which attracted criticism for its harsh conditions, must be dismantled within 60 days. But in an email reported Wednesday by the Associated Press, Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida department of emergency management, which operates the jail on behalf of the federal government, appeared to confirm it would be shuttered.

It has been fully recognized since the November election that the Democratic Party has been hobbled more than a three-legged gelding, but things refuse to improve for that lot. Throughout this year, the party has seen its prospects withering across the board, whether it is in internal operations, public approval, voting efforts, fundraising, or media outreach. And much like the condition of the national media industry, there is no desire exhibited by them to change what is not working. And this week it became even worse. It was announced that the Bill Gates Foundation was suspending its monetary involvement with one of the primary non-profits affiliated with the Democratic Party.

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to expand a fast-track deportation process, ruling that the broadened application of the sped-up process creates “a significant risk” that immigrants who may be entitled to stay in the U.S. will be hustled out of the country. In a decision issued Friday evening, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb granted a request by an immigrant advocacy group to put a hold on a pair of policies the administration issued in January that made millions more immigrants eligible for expulsion from the U.S. under a process known as “expedited removal.”

Elizabeth Baxter works in the same building as fellow fired paralegal Sean Charles Dunn, who allegedly threw a salami Subway sandwich at a Border Protection officer. Baxter arrived for work at the DOJ’s “4CON” building in the NoMa district of Washington, DC, at 8.21 a.m. on Aug. 18, and boasted to a DOJ security guard that she had just made the obscene gesture to a guardsman at Metro Center Metro Stop and said, “F–k the National Guard,” according to Bondi.

With news breaking all across the country of major highway accidents that have killed Americans perpetrated by non-English speaking migrants behind the wheels of massive semi trucks, many have wondered how they could be getting their licenses. Investigators in Florida have discovered that one way is by using hidden cameras and ear pieces when they enter a drive’s license facility to take their commercial truck driving license (CDL) test, WTLV-TV reported.

On Saturday morning, a photo was released showing Trump getting ready to play golf.

Conservative activist Scott Presler is sounding the alarm for Republicans, warning that unless the party immediately changes its strategy, November could bring devastating losses. In a late-night video, Presler said he wasn’t trying to spread doom and gloom, but reality. “I’m not here to bring you a happy video. I’m here to give you a dose of reality,” he began. "I'm here to tell you, Republicans are gonna lose everything this November unless we change things and quickly." Presler pointed to three key battlegrounds—Virginia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—where Republicans are in danger of losing everything. “You’re gonna lose the governorship in Virginia and you’re gonna have a Democrat.

Three Scottish brothers set a world record Saturday for completing the fastest unsupported row across the full Pacific Ocean. Jamie, Ewan and Lachlan Maclean completed the journey in 139 days, arriving in Cairns, Australia. They rowed over 9,000 miles non-stop from Peru, becoming the first team to achieve the full crossing from South America to Australia. The trio from Edinburgh endured storms, seasickness, injuries and violent storms, including one that swept Lachlan overboard, while raising over £700,000 ($945,690) toward a £1 million ($1,350,450) target for clean water projects. The three rowed into the Cairns Marlin Marina playing the bagpipes and waving the Scottish, Australian and United Kingdom flags.
