Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) reported a net worth of up to $30 million in her latest financial disclosure – a document filed just months after the congresswoman dismissed claims she was a millionaire as “ridiculous” and “categorically false.” The disclosure, filed in May, shows the far-left “Squad” lawmaker and her husband, Tim Mynett, experienced a roughly 3,500% increase in net worth last year, compared to 2023. The surge in the couple’s wealth was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon on Monday.

A recent incident in Brussels has caused a stir after an illegal immigrant reportedly used the eternal flame at the tomb of the unknown soldier to fry eggs. This controversial act has sparked heated discussions about the respect of national symbols and the actions of immigrants in Europe.This follows a similar event last month in France, where an immigrant was arrested for using the eternal flame to light a cigarette. The repeated misuse of these significant national monuments has led to public outrage and raised questions about the boundaries of tolerance in European societies.

Maricopa County officials are attempting to delete emails that potentially relate to the 2020 and 2022 elections, as well as irregularities in the 2024 elections, amid potential investigations by Trump Administration officials into the election fraud. In a letter to Maricopa County Manager Jen Pokorski, newly elected Republican County Recorder Justin Heap sounded the alarm on the Maricopa County Enterprise Technology and Innovation (ETI) department’s plans to delete archived emails from previous administrations. These documents are the subject of outstanding public records requests and may be of value in an official investigation.

Last Tuesday, thousands of Israelis took to the streets, blocking highways and setting tires on fire, to pressure the government to reach a deal with Hamas. Article content Einav Zangauker, whose son has been languishing in Hamas captivity, made a passionate plea for more Israelis to join the demonstrations, arguing that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “afraid of one thing — public pressure,” and that, “Only with our strength can we bring about a comprehensive agreement and an end to the war.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom has commuted the sentence of a Northern California man who committed a shocking murder-for-hire when he was 18 years old, the governor’s office announced Friday. Arthur Battle, now 37, will soon be eligible for parole after spending his entire adult life behind bars. The unusual case made headlines in 2006 when a trip to a Hollywood Video near the Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento turned deadly. As 19-year-old Vardan Abramyan headed inside to rent a movie, his father, Norik Abramyan, 45, waited in their Kia. Gunshots rang out in the parking lot as multiple shooters fired

A University of Kentucky student and competitive cheerleader was arrested after the body of an infant she gave birth to was found stuffed inside a garbage bag tossed in a closet, according to authorities and reports. Laken Snelling, 21, was cuffed Sunday after cops were called about an unresponsive infant at a residence near campus grounds in Lexington, the Lexington Police Department said in a statement.m Officers found the infant “wrapped in a towel inside of a black trash bag,” in a closet, according to a police report obtained by WLWT.

President Donald Trump says he plans to sign an executive order aimed at requiring voter ID in elections across the country. Trump made the statement on social media late Saturday night, saying he is also seeking other reforms to how U.S. elections take place.  "Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!! Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The person allegedly responsible for seriously injuring former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in a reported car accident over the weekend has been revealed.[snip] Thomas Goodman of Michigan was driving a Ford Bronco with Giuliani as the passenger. He was also injured in the accident. Now, New Hampshire State Police have identified 19-year-old Lauren Kemp of Concord as the person responsible for hitting Giuliani in the crash.[snip] There is no indication that this was a targeted attack, and no charges have been filed.[snip] Goodman, Kemp, and Giuliani were all treated at local hospitals. Giuliani is currently in a trauma center.

Bodies are piling up on the streets of Chicago over Labor Day weekend – with 54 shot, including seven killed, as President Trump and Illinois Gov. Pritzker spar over sending the National Guard into the Windy City. At least 32 separate shootings occurred in Chicago between Friday evening and noon on Monday, according to a review of police incident reports by ABC News. Just hours after Trump posted a message on Truth Social on Saturday criticizing Pritzker’s handling of crime in the city

US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he would be awarding former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom. “As President of the United States of America, I am pleased to announce that Rudy Giuliani, the greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, and an equally great American Patriot, will receive THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our Country’s highest civilian honor. Details as to time and place to follow,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. The announcement comes as Giuliani is recovering in hospital following an accident in New Hampshire.

In early September, a jury trial will begin in North Texas for a 32-year-old activist named Raunaq Alam. He is accused of spray-painting “F*** Israel” on the wall of a non-denominational church in Euless, a small city roughly 20 minutes from Fort Worth. But it’s not the graffiti accusation that’s most troubling for Alam and his attorney. Using a hate-crimes statute, Tarrant county has enhanced its criminal mischief charges against Alam so he now faces 10 years in prison. The county’s argument – and the charges – are the same for two other activists. (snip) Alam adds that anyone who knows him knows he’s not a hateful person.

BlackRock has finally come for our utilities.[snip] And, it’s not just BlackRock. Another big player on Wall Street, Blackstone, is also in on the game, which recently announced its plans to acquire “a major electric utility in Texas and New Mexico” if permitted to do so. So why are these global investment firms turning their attention to our energy suppliers? Well, because the AI demand is set to drastically drive up energy consumption, and in a world of wind turbines and solar panels, that energy is going to be expensive.

It’s now a truism that the policies of the left are widely viewed as outrageous – at least the cultural ones such as allowing male voyeurs and exhibitionists into girls’ bathrooms, discriminating to benefit favored races and sexual orientations, grabbing the guns held by hundreds of millions of law-abiding Americans while simultaneously coddling criminals who will never give up theirs, and abolishing the nation’s borders. Such issues have earned a name – the “80/20 issues” – because something near 80% of Americans oppose the left on such issues.

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Monday demanded drug companies make their data on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines available to the public, suggesting that the “question” over whether the jab actually saved lives has “ripped apart” the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).[snip] “Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree! With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW,”[snip] “I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public. Why not???

Two Republican losses in state senate special elections this year, first in Pennsylvania during March and then in Iowa this August, have sent tremors through conservative circles. Both seats were previously held by Republicans, both were in areas that strongly supported Donald Trump, and both slipped away despite the Democrat party enduring its worst period of public standing in decades. These results are not signals of a collapsing Republican coalition, but they are warnings against complacency.[snip] They won because their voters were more motivated to turn out in lower-profile contests.

Happy Labor Day (Snip) What better topic for a brief Labor Day discussion than what the perils of communism bring to every one of their attempts at a workers' paradise? We're looking at some of our bluest cities trying to swim against freedom's tide and elect commies to run them. The "socialism/communism has just never been done right" vibe is forever strong on the Left. Nicolás Maduro is the current commie dictator of Venezuela, but he's pretty much just the ghost of Hugo Chávez, carrying on the work of destroying his country that his predecessor started early this century. The Venezuelan people haven't been able to stop the madness, but

When President Trump fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook last month, the left erupted in outrage. Rep. Maxine Waters even suggested that Trump’s action could warrant removal from office under the 25th Amendment. But even CNN’s top legal analyst, Elie Honig, has poured cold water on the hysteria, making an ironclad case that Trump had clear cause to take action. “So, two things appear to be true at the same time,” Honig explained. “One, it seems quite clear that Donald Trump and Bill Pulte, who is the head of this housing finance agency, have targeted Lisa Cook. They want to remove her from the Fed because

Labor Day this year is a cause for raucous celebration: For the first time, the share of U.S. workers who are union members has fallen below 10 percent. Looking only at private-sector workers, the share who are union members is 5.9 percent. Those numbers are all the more remarkable because they come after four years of the Biden administration doing everything it could to boost organized labor. Biden called himself the “most pro-union president leading the most pro-union administration,” and he was probably right, at least since Franklin Roosevelt. The Biden administration bailed out union pension funds with tens of billions of taxpayer dollars. It mandated

SYDNEY - Thousands of Australians joined anti-immigration rallies across the country on Sunday that the centre-left government condemned, saying they sought to spread hate and were linked to neo-Nazis. March for Australia rallies against immigration were held in Sydney and other state capitals and regional centres, according to the group's website. "Mass migration has torn at the bonds that held our communities together," the website says. The group posted on X on Saturday that the rallies aimed to do "what the mainstream politicians never have the courage to do: demand an end to mass immigration". The group also says it is

This week, another transgender shoot-up of a Christian school provides more chilling evidence that the culture war is a spiritual war. The Minneapolis shooter’s actions and Democrats’ interpretation of them both demonstrate this. The New York Post published excerpts of the shooter’s journal posted on YouTube that include a drawing of him communing with a Satanic figure in a mirror. As I’ve written before, Satan-worshippers can be startlingly more direct than many Christians about the connections between their spiritual and political beliefs.

The European Commission said on Monday that its president, Ursula von der Leyen, was en route to Bulgaria when her plane faced deliberate GPS jamming. "We can confirm there was GPS jamming but the plane landed safe," said Arianna Podesta, a commission spokeswoman. Von der Leyen's plane landed in Plovdiv airport and she is continuing her planned tour of EU countries bordering Russia and Belarus, Podesta said. The EU chief arrived in Bulgaria on Sunday and met with Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov to discuss European security and defense issues.

The three victims of the Indian immigrant truck driver who made an illegal U-turn across a Florida highway earlier this month have been identified as Haitian immigrants, according to officials. The driver Herby Dufresne, 30, and passengers Faniola Joseph, 27, and Rodrigue Dor, 53, all Haitian immigrants, were in their minivan when it plowed into the side of an 18-wheeler driven by Harjinder Singh, an immigrant from India, on Aug. 12, the Miami Herald reported. Dufresne arrived in Miami in December 2023 from Port-au-Prince and was given a two-year permit to live and work in the US after obtaining a financial sponsor under a Biden-era program, the outlet reported,

It has been a long feminist trope that marriage and motherhood are garbage chutes to misery for women. Feminist sociologist Jesse Bernard warned in her 1972 book, The Future of Marriage, “[M]arriage introduced such profound discontinuities into the lives of women as to constitute genuine emotional health hazards.” Lyz Lenz, in her 2024 New York Times bestseller This American Ex-Wife: How I Ended My Marriage and Started My Life, holds the same hellish view of matrimony. Early in, she explains, “Marriage, it seemed, was this: the eternal return of trash on my floor.” It is no wonder that only 32 percent of women believe marriage and motherhood lead to fuller, happie

One of the worst earthquakes in Afghanistan’s history struck the border region with Pakistan on Sunday, killing over 800 people and injuring at least 2,800 more. The quake struck at 11:47 p.m. local time, centered about 17 miles northeast of the city of Jalalabad in Nangarhar province. According to the Taliban junta, most of the casualties occurred in neighboring Kunar province. “Entire villages in Kunar province have been badly hit. And the government says emergency teams are being deployed from Kabul and nearby provinces. Officials here are pledging to use all available resources to rescue people and support affected families,” Al Jazeera News reported.

When President Trump signed his August 25th executive order setting guidelines under which burning an American flag can be prosecuted, we quickly learned how ignorant his critics are about the constitutional and cultural implications of desecrating this revered national symbol. Indeed, it appears that very few of these people actually read the President’s EO. It does not, as most Democrats and alleged experts insist, violate the 1989 Supreme Court ruling in Texas v. Johnson that flag burning is protected speech under the First Amendment.

A shocking viral video shows a group of irate women beating up an Indiana Walmart employee as her co-workers desperately try to break up the mayhem. The disturbing footage, filmed on Friday at an Indianapolis Walmart and posted to Facebook by witness Kind Butler, shows a woman in black restraining the female employee as two other women attack her at the checkout aisle. As the employee is being held down, a woman in a pink shirt is seen savagely raining punches down on the victim, as another suspect starts to viciously stomp on her.

The gaslighting and games of pretending in/around Washington DC never changes. Before there was the obvious cognitive decline of Joe Biden, there was the obvious cognitive incapacity of Robert Mueller. However, both acuity compromises were ignored because the agenda the figureheads represented was more important than their obvious compromise. (snip) [SIDEBAR: I have always wondered why no journalist has ever asked President Trump about the meeting with Robert Mueller, organized by Rod Rosenstein, on the day before the special counsel was appointed. How did Trump feel about Rosenstein when he realized the meeting with Mueller was a ¹set up? (or did he realize it?).]

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears is running for governor to build on the policies she helped Gov. Glenn Youngkin craft and implement over the past four years, and the Youngkin administration drew attention to six key success areas, in particular. When asked if she was running to continue the administration’s legacy, Earle-Sears said, “Well, of course, and they’re working.” She drew a contrast between herself and Democrat Abigail Spanberger, a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives I don’t need on the job training because I have been here doing the work for these past four years,” Earle-Sears told The Daily Signal in an interview Wednesday.
