NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a civil jury’s finding that President Donald Trump must pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll for his repeated social media attacks and public statements against the longtime advice columnist after she accused him of sexual assault. A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump’s appeal of the defamation award, finding that the “jury’s damages awards are fair and reasonable.” “The record in this case supports the district court’s determination that the ‘the degree of reprehensibility’ of Mr. Trump’s conduct was remarkably high, perhaps unprecedented,”

The Department of Homeland Security announced on social media Tuesday that the Coast Guard had made a drug boat go boom, and that they had seized 13,000 pounds of illegal drugs and apprehended seven alleged smugglers.[snip] Alongside partners and allies, our maritime fighting force is surging to the Eastern Pacific, disrupting cartels, and keeping illicit drugs out of American communities. We are bringing every capability to bear to secure U.S. borders and maritime approaches. This is where defense of America begins.
The U.S. Postal Service unveiled a William F. Buckley Jr. Forever stamp Tuesday and immediately sparked a torrent of fury from left-wing accounts on X. USPS says the first-day-of-issue ceremony kicks off Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. at Yale’s Beinecke Plaza in New Haven, where Buckley graduated and launched his long public career; the black-and-white portrait is based on a 1960s photograph. The stamp is now live in the Postal Store, with Sept. 9 listed as the official issue date.

President Donald Trump told attendees of the Religious Liberty Commissionmeeting on Monday that new guidance would be released regarding prayer in public schools. "I'm pleased to announce this morning that the Department of Education (DOE) will soon issue new guidance protecting the right to prayer in our public schools," Trump said at the meeting at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.
The exact timing of the new guidance announcement was not immediately clear.
EXCLUSIVE: A top aide and confidante to former Obama official Lois Lerner who targeted conservatives and conservative groups received a notice of proposed removal from the Internal Revenue Service, Fox News Digital has learned. A notice of proposed removal, also known as a "pink slip," is a formal letter from a federal agency informing a federal employee that the agency intends to terminate their employment. As is standard in the process, the official, Holly Paz, has 30 days to respond. She remains employed by the IRS and is on administrative leave pending a final decision regarding her employment status.
Of all Donald Trump’s cabinet picks, it’s Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who attracts the most vitriol, which is saying something. You could see just how much the Health and Human Services secretary is despised last week at a Senate committee hearing when Democrat after Democrat abused him with slurs like “charlatan” and demanded he resign. There is an orchestrated campaign to force him out that includes the overplayed political ploy of an “open letter from nine former CDC leaders” and another letter from 1,000 current and former HHS employees calling on him to step down.

The billionaire heiress who recently donated $250,000 to a super PAC supporting socialist Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign is bankrolling a national push to bring “woke math” into public schools — a twisted bid to turn kids into socialist revolutionaries, critics told The Post. Philanthropist Liz Simons, daughter of late hedge-fund billionaire Jim Simons, oversees a foundation with a near-billion-dollar endowment trashing traditional race-neutral math in favor of race-obsessed leftist lessons inserting social justice principles into many aspects of students’ studies.[snip] thrusting racial and LGBTQ themes into previously straightforward lesson plans.
In a dramatic win for religious liberty, Chicago Public Schools have been ordered to pay out over $2.6 million to high school students in a class action religious freedom case. Former public school students in Chicago were required to participate in a Transcendental Meditation™ program during class. There was no opt-out and no parental permission required. “As part of their in-school curriculum,” attorney John Mauck, partner at Mauck & Baker, explained, “the students were either required to participate in Transcendental Meditation or were deprived daily of a half hour of academic opportunity and made to maintain silence while their classmates focused their minds on secret mantras.”
The word “genocide” is tossed around by Democrats very casually these days, where everything from their terrorist friends losing a war they started to white people eat Chinese food. Of course, nothing these grievance studies major-leftists call genocide is actually genocide – “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group” – but drama queens are gonna drama queen. However, since these “progressives” love to use the word, let’s use it to describe something that is closer to cultural genocide than anything they whine about: the lack of assimilation they insist is “celebrating diversity!”
Congress has not scheduled a vote to extend President Trump’s 30-day federalization of the Metropolitan Police Department as the expiration date looms. Trump’s control over DC police is set to expire next week on September 10 if Congress doesn’t act.

Have you heard about the seismic shift in one of the key demographic groups that will shape American culture, politics and economics for decades to come? No, I'm not talking about the wholly unexpected shift of younger voters away to President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.[snip] Politics is downstream from culture, and culture is downstream from faith/religion. Far more important is what was beginning to develop among young Americans even before the 2024 presidential election, and which continues today — the American spiritual revival led by Gen Zers and Millennials.blessings. trtruth.
WASHINGTON - The United States has ordered the deployment of 10 F-35 fighter jets to a Puerto Rico airfield to conduct operations against drug cartels, sources say, adding more firepower to intensifying U.S. military operations in the Caribbean that are stoking tension with Venezuela. The new deployment comes on top of an already bristling U.S. military presence in the southern Caribbean as President Donald Trump carries out a campaign pledge to crack down on groups he blames for funneling drugs into the United States.

The Chicago Bears are moving out of Chicago. In an open letter to season ticket holders from Bears CEO Kevin Warren has dropped the bombshell that the team is set to move out of Chicago. The letter was posted on the official website for the Bears and reads: "Dear Chicago Bears Fans: Tonight marks the 106th season of Chicago Bears football.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, sparked backlash on social media Monday after a video surfaced of her saying that local law enforcement’s role is only to solve crime, not prevent it. A clip from Crockett’s appearance on the "Grounded" podcast — which premiered last Wednesday — went viral as critics seized on her remarks.
"I want to be clear that, like, law enforcement isn't to prevent crime. Law enforcement solves crime, OK? That is what they are supposed to do. They are supposed to solve crimes, not necessarily prevent them from happening per se," she said.
Texas governor Greg Abbott has announced a ban on Sharia Law in the state after an imam launched a campaign to pressure Muslim-owned stores to stop selling pork, alcohol and lottery tickets. Imam F. Qasim ibn Ali Khan of Masjid At-Tawhid was seen in a viral video confronting a store employee and accusing the business of selling 'haram' products forbidden under Islamic law. As a response, Abbott said on Tuesday: 'I signed laws that BAN Sharia Law and Sharia Compounds in Texas. No business and no individual should fear fools like this.'
The War of the Murdochs appears to have come to an end.
The media sector’s prominent Murdoch family settled a long-running dispute Monday that will leave Lachlan Murdoch in control of voting shares that govern both News Corp. and Fox Corp. while selling off stakes in the company attached to founder Rupert Murdoch’s other children who had challenged their father’s ability to restructure his heirs’ oversight of both corporations. Fox Corp. and News Corp. both said Monday that the family had terminated all litigation tied to the elder Murdoch’s efforts to assign control of the family’s shares to Lachlan, who currently oversees both corporations.
Somebody did something very naughty, and I need to know who did it.
I'm very serious here. If I don't get an answer, nobody gets anything to eat before dinner. Except for some light snacks around three. And cocktails at five, of course — I'm not a monster.
So I just read this morning that some terrible — but perhaps terribly clever — person did a small drone strike on the lead boat of toxic pixie and part-time female He-Man impersonator Greta Thunberg's Happy Fun Hamas Terrorist Relief Flotilla.
Or did they?
According to the flotilla, one of their vessels "was struck by a drone in Tunisian waters," and that an
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel revealed that the agency has been investigating a stabbing that took place on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, resulting in the death of a Ukrainian refugee.
“The FBI has been investigating the Charlotte train murder from day one,” Patel wrote in a post on X. “Stay tuned.”
Patel’s post comes after Iryna Zarutska, 23, was allegedly stabbed in the throat several times on August 22, 2025, by suspect Decarlos Brown Jr. while riding the Charlotte light rail.
Breitbart News reported that Brown was arrested and charged with first-degree murder regarding the attack on Zarutska.
The death of 59-year-old white female retired Auburn University professor Julie Gard Schnuelle, allegedly at the hands of a 28-year-old Montgomery black male, Harold Dabney III, is among several stories nationwide getting attention for the lack of coverage by major, corporate news outlets.
Dabney is charged with two counts of capital murder: one count for committing the murder during a robbery and one count for committing the murder during a kidnapping, in the death of Schnuelle.
France’s government was toppled in a vote of no confidence on Monday, forcing President Emmanuel Macron to search for his fourth prime minister in 12 months — and throwing the EU’s second largest economy into chaos.
Premier François Bayrou was ousted overwhelmingly in a 364-194 vote against him, losing an apparent gamble that lawmakers would back his push for France to slash public spending to repay its debts.
The 74-year-old centrist was instead voted out, ending his short-lived minority government after being appointed by Macron in December. France, which has the European Union’s most powerful military and only nuclear arsenal,

After a shift at Zepeddie's Pizzeria in Charlotte, North Carolina, Iryna Zarutska boarded the train and quickly made a decision where to sit. Did she think about her safety? Did she fear sitting in front of a Black man with dreadlocks and a face twisted into worried knots? Or did she find a seat far away from him, just on a hunch?
The truth is that Iryna had no real choice. If she avoided the seat in front of the Black man, she might look like a racist. She had no reason to fear him, after all, because she was sympathetic to the plight of racism in America and even had
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has become the rare figure who draws as much raw hostility from Democrats as Donald Trump ever has. That fact alone is remarkable.
Democrats once celebrated Kennedy as the scion of a legendary political dynasty. They now treat him as a menace to society. His break from the blue ranks last year, and the populist movement he has built, mirrors Trump’s earlier rebellion against establishment Republicans. That similarity explains why both men are uniquely loathed by Democratic insiders.
The fury stems not just from Kennedy’s decision to leave the Democrat party, but from how he left.
At a Home Depot parking lot, a man patrols on a bicycle for federal immigration agents, toting a megaphone on his hip so he can blast a warning to day laborers waiting to land a landscaping or construction job.
The workers from Mexico, El Salvador and elsewhere carry whistles to also sound the alarm, while activists swap details over two-way radios about whether cars whizzing by could be unmarked vehicles carrying officers preparing for a raid.
Their work is cut out for them. Agents have raided the lot outside the 108,000 square-foot Home Depot store in the Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles at least five times this summer,
A very BRAVE Governor Whitmer-Appointed Judge just dismissed the case against all 15 Michigan Alternate GOP ElectorsIn a major gut-punch to Michigan’s Democrat activist Attorney General Dana Nessel, Governor Whitmer-appointed Judge Kristin Simmins has ignored party allegiance and decided to put an end to the lawfare against 15 innocent Republican electors from the 2020 election, who cast an alternate slate of electoral votes for President Trump in a state where the stunning election results were highly contested by many.
