Other groups were reported held hostage in Dar'aa and Idlib, locations where the Jolani regime is still utilizing 'extra judicial' prisons and has a market for the 'spoils of war,' as they call the abducted people.

"The Jolani regime (HTS/al-Nusra) declares...its attacks on [the Druze] as a jihad (holy war). The deeper reason, however, is that Sweida and the Druze community have consistently called for a secular, democratic Syria based on equal citizenship, human rights, and the rule of law.

Published by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the 88-page guide is titled “One Nation, One People.” It spotlights the one nation theme on every page, rejecting Democrats’ claims that America’s homeland really belongs to global migrants along with their various cultural loyalties and rivalries. The booklet says to the roughly 800,000 people who take the citizenship test each year:
When applicants for naturalization take the Oath of Allegiance, [the naturalized citizens] make important promises of loyalty to the United States [including to] give up loyalty to other countries [and to] defend the Constitution and laws of the United States;
The same man who celebrated President Donald Trump getting blacklisted and then celebrated Tucker Carlson getting fired at Fox News got himself suspended by his fellow leftists at Disney-ABC. On Monday, Kimmel violated FCC guidelines that call for serving the public interest by serving the public a steaming pile of disinformation. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” he said.
Traditionally, it’s called “the people’s house” because the House of Representatives is supposed to represent and reflect the people to whom the congressional members represent. Republicans in the House threatened to withhold votes if Speaker Mike Johnson did not pass an enhanced House Member Security Funding Bill that includes a payment of $25,000/month per lawmaker to hire their own private security. This is in addition to the pre-existing security packages the House members receive.
The monthly funds would be designated for use hiring private security when the representatives are not in Washington DC. It is the republican wing pushing this demand.
The House overwhelmingly passed a resolution honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Friday, but a significant number of Democrats voted against it, highlighting the deepening political divide in the wake of his assassination.
The resolution, which praised “the life and legacy” of Kirk, passed the Republican-controlled House with 310 votes in favor. While 95 Democrats supported the resolution, 58 voted against it and 38 voted “present,” effectively abstaining. Republicans had warned ahead of the vote that no one should oppose the measure, but many Democrats said they felt Kirk’s death had been politicized and the resolution elevated views they disagreed with.
The Trump administration escalated its fight with Harvard University on Friday, placing the Ivy League school under extra financial oversight and threatening sanctions if it does not provide additional data on its admissions practices.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the department was placing Harvard under “heightened cash monitoring,” forcing the school to use its own money to pay out financial aid for students and then seek reimbursement from the government.
She also threatened “further enforcement action” if the school does not turn over records to prove it no longer is considering race in admissions.
Harvard did not respond to a request for comment.
Nearly 60 House Democrats on Friday voted down a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk — including “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who accused the slain conservative activist of being a “bigot.”
Four of the Dems who voted “nay” hail from New York — AOC, Yvette Clarke, Adriano Espaillat, and Nydia Velazquez — and three represent New Jersey: Reps. Robert Menendez, Bonnie Watson Coleman and LaMonica McIver.
The resolution condemned “in the strongest possible terms” the assassination of the Turning Point USA co-founder and commended law enforcement for arresting and charging Kirk’s alleged killer.
President Trump will sign an executive order Friday adding a $100,000 fee to all H1-B visa applications, a White House official confirmed to The Post.
The move marks the latest crackdown by the administration on migrants coming into the US for job opportunities, and is likely intended to limit visa applicants to those from higher financial brackets.
The administration views the current H1-B visa program — which admits hundreds of thousands of workers into the US each year — as a way for companies to exploit lower-wage employees, ultimately impacting US salaries.
Following the meeting between International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi and Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Cairo, it was announced that an agreement had been reached between Tehran and the nuclear watchdog. At first glance, this development appeared to offer a glimmer of progress in the long, drawn-out saga over Iran’s nuclear program. Yet, once both sides returned to their respective capitals, the narrative quickly unraveled. Araghchi insisted that no agreement had been struck that would in any way violate legislation passed by the Iranian parliament,
ABC stunned the media world on Wednesday by announcing they were suspending "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely after several ABC station groups withdrew their support for the show. It was a similar shock to CBS setting a cancellation date for "Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
The Left went into conniption fits, grieving both festivals of partisan propaganda. We heard a thousand cries of the "First Amendment" being despoiled and the old reliable screech about President Donald Trump's "authoritarian playbook." ABC's George Stephanopoulos mourned the assault on "independent media," and he's the last person in America who would qualify for that label.
Trump Slams ‘Scum’ Ilhan Omar After

Failed Censure Vote, Has a Better Idea

President Trump on Thursday heavily criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after four House Republicans joined Democrats to help defeat a censure vote over her reprehensible comments following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
"I think she's terrible," Trump said during a press gaggle aboard Air Force One. "I think she should be impeached. I think she's terrible."
While congressional members are often removed from their positions through the process of expulsion, rather than impeachment, the President's words indicate he is incredibly disappointed with the GOP members who let her slide without so much as a reprimand.
As he should be.

Happy Constitution Day!

We live in an age in which there is a commemorative day for nearly anything and everything one could possibly imagine. For instance, September 17 is recognized as National Apple Dumpling Day, National Professional House Cleaners Day, National Monte Cristo Day, etc. Although some people might think it necessary to celebrate these trivial things on this day, I believe September 17 should be known forever as Constitution Day.
On this day, 238 years ago, the U.S. Constitution was officially signed by 39 bold, brilliant delegates at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.
Less than a year later, the newly minted Constitution was officially ratified by nine of the thirteen states,

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed that just because people commit crimes, it “doesn’t make them a criminal,” adding that it depends on the person’s “mindset.”
During an interview with “genderqueer” Netflix star Jonathan Van Ness, Crockett was asked about having worked as a public defender, and what she wished that “people knew.” Crockett responded by explaining that when you are “assigned to only deal with indigent people” you end up learning “a lot about yourself.”
“It’s just understanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively, right?”
Progressive New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is eyeing a run for president in 2028, according to a report Friday.
The socialist “Squad” member is gearing up to seek higher office as she’s attempted to grow her presence across the country and the Empire State, people familiar with her operation told Axios in a Friday report.
Ocasio-Cortez and her team are deciding on whether to run for the Senate or the White House, sources told the outlet.

Democratic U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was confronted on Friday about whether she regrets the timing of her comments immediately following the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Omar said in an interview on CNN, "It's one thing to care about his life because obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife. But I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind. That should be in the dustbin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed
The Texas State University student who was expelled when he was caught mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination in front of a horrified crowd claimed he “made a mistake in the heat of the moment.” Devion Canty Jr. pleaded for help with his education costs on GoFundMe Thursday, just days after he vilely spewed profanity at a group of mourners outside the school’s Turning Point USA chapter. “Recently, I faced a situation where I had to choose between immediate expulsion or withdrawing from the university,” Canty Jr said on the crowdfunding page.

The new liberal website, The Argument, conducted an interesting poll of Trump 2024 supporters, Harris 2024 supporters, and those who didn't vote.
One question was about free speech on campus.
"For each of the following, do you believe they should be allowed to give a speech at a college campus?"
Nearly 50% of Trump voters would oppose a transgender rights activist speaking on campus. 86% of Harris voters would support it.
Nearly 55% of Harris voters would oppose Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu giving a talk. 63% of Trump voters would support it.
Over 67% of Trump voters would oppose a Palestinian activist who calls for the abolition of Israel. 53% of Harris voters
French First Lady Brigitte Macron will present photographic evidence to a U.S. court to prove she is a woman as part of her defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens.
Mrs Macron and her husband, President Emmanuel Macron, filed suit in July over “substantial reputational damage” against Owens addressing what they called repeated “falsehoods” that Mrs Macron is in fact secretly a man, as Breitbart News reported.
Owens has propagated unsubstantiated claims the first lady was born male and used to go by the name Jean-Michel Trogneux — who in reality is Mrs Macron’s older brother.

President Donald Trump's $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times has been tossed, for now.
Calling the president's 85-page lawsuit "decidedly improper and impermissible," a federal judge in Tampa threw it out on Friday and gave him 28 days to file a new complaint that had to be under 40 pages.
U.S. District Judge Steven D. Merryday blasted the Trump suit for alleging only two acts of defamation, yet "Count I appears on page eighty, and Count II appears on page eighty-three." He also criticized the suit's flowery descriptions about Trump and overly political language, writing a complaint is not a "public forum for vituperation
The pieces of this puzzle are starting to come together, and what emerges is a picture that makes perfect sense when viewed through the lens of raw self-interest. Hunter Biden, a man who has spent decades leveraging his father's position for personal gain, may have personally engineered his own presidential pardon.
Why do I think this may have been the case? Well, Biden’s former chief of staff, Jeff Zients, revealed during his House Oversight Committee testimony this week that Hunter Biden wasn't just sitting on the sidelines during those crucial final weeks of his father's presidency—he was actively participating in pardon discussions, attending multiple meetings with White House aides.
Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano on Friday walked back his remark made earlier in the day that raising the retirement age was among the entitlement reforms being considered by the Trump administration.
In an interview with Fox Business, host Maria Bartiromo asked Bisignano if he’d consider increasing the age for full federal retirement benefits, which currently stands at 67.I think everything’s being considered and will be considered,” he said.
Bisignano noted that any change recommended by Social Security trustees — a group that also includes Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — would need congressional approval.

The city of Chicago has a crime problem. Everyone knows it, including Chicago's mayor, Brandon Johnson, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
Pritzker himself said crime is just a part of big city life, just after a bloody Labor Day weekend where 54 people were shot and seven were killed. Mayor Johnson took a more theological approach, saying jailing criminals is "racist, unholy and doesn’t lower violent crime rates."
That was on August 25, a week before all the mayhem in Chicago. We're now halfway through September, and Mayor Johnson continues to object to putting criminals in prison. (X) As one X user said, "Imagine saying that to the families
