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.

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.

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
for Her Punishment 11 replies
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.
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 regime provides no information about their current status or condition." — Socrates Naufal, a Druze from Syria, to Gatestone.
"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.
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?”

back political assassinations’ in wake

A radical leftist student at Oberlin College casually called for political assassinations to continue in the wake of the targeted killing of political activist Charlie Kirk last week, according to an online post she made.
“We need to bring back political assassinations,” said Julia Xu in a social media post, where her handle is @bringbacktheguillotine.
“I don’t feel bad and I don’t think that everyone deserves the right to free speech. Some people should be afraid to express their opinion in public.” Xu, who grew up in Connecticut, is a second-year student at Oberlin College in Ohio majoring in politics and international affairs, according to an online college blog viewed by
With the news breaking on Wednesday Night that Jimmy Kimmel saw his late-night show suspended, there has been no shortage of voices of outrage from the left. The squealing and mewling over this has not been heard since way back to… about a month ago, when a similar amount of teeth-gnashing was taking place over Stephen Colbert getting canceled.
While I am no fan of seeing possible government leverage being applied to broadcasters over content, this is a result that the same wailing class has been attempting to provoke for years. Case in point: CNN’s media maven Brian Stelter has been weighing in (pun completely intended) on this suspension,
Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT.
Kirk had remarked on X in 2017, “Jimmy Kimmel isn’t funny.” His observation gained attention again on social media as users reacted to the network’s decision to remove Kimmel following backlash over his on-air comments about Kirk’s assassination.
Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly “absolutely f–king livid” over ABC’s decision to axe his late-night night show following backlash to his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination – while President Trump cheered the move as “great news for America.”
The comedian, 57, was left fuming over the network’s Wednesday decision to suspend him and pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air “indefinitely” after he unleashed a hateful tirade against the gunned down conservative activist during Monday night’s monologue, sources and producers told the Daily Mail.
The radical left’s late-night propaganda machine took a massive hit this week as Jimmy Kimmel’s show was yanked from the airwaves following his despicable lies about the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.
And now, in a delicious twist of poetic justice, ABC affiliates are set to replace the dirtbag comedian’s time slot with a heartfelt special tribute to Kirk himself.
On Wednesday, Nexstar announced that all 32 of its ABC broadcast affiliates will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely, blasting Kimmel’s sick comments about Kirk’s murder as “offensive and insensitive.”

Courts in Britain, Backs Broad ‘Islamophobia’ Definition 24 replies
The Labour Party government has argued that allowing Sharia courts to operate in the United Kingdom is a fundamental “British value” and has refused to distance itself from a broad stroke definition of so-called Islamophobia, which critics say would brand discussions around Muslim child rape grooming gangs as potentially illegally racist.
Pressed on Tuesday in the House of Commons by Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin as to whether the government supported the existence of Sharia courts in the UK, Minister of State for Courts and Legal Services, Sarah Sackman, unequivocally backed their right to operate.
The Labour MP for Finchley and Golders Green said:
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is getting blasted on social media after posting a picture supporting American Federation of Teachers (AFT) chief Randi Weingarten’s new book that suggests her political opponents are "fascists."
"Congratulations to my friend [Weingarten] on ‘Why Fascists Fear Teachers.’ From banning books to controlling curriculum, authoritarians go after public education because it's a cornerstone of democracy," Clinton posted on Wednesday, along with a picture of Weingarten holding the book.
"Randi's new book is a critical read for this moment," she wrote.
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.
he New York lefty has joined Sen. Bernie Sanders — a former presidential candidate — on his national “Fighting Oligarchy” tour while she’s also held town halls across upstate New York this summer.
In a recent social media post, an Oberlin student called for a return to “political assassinations” following conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death last week, when he was shot and killed while speaking at a Utah university. Oberlin College and Conservatory President Carmen Twillie Ambar confirmed Thursday that Julia Xu attends the college. “Last week, an Oberlin student published a personal social media post that glorified political assassinations and incorrectly linked this ideology to the perspective of a faculty member,”... “The student has subsequently issued a public apology and expressed deep regret.” Ambar said that the comments do not reflect the college and conservatory.
OREM, Utah — Tyler Robinson, the Utah man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, was afraid of being shot by police and eventually agreed to surrender only if it was done peacefully, a sheriff involved with taking him into custody said Wednesday.
(snip)
“He didn’t want a big SWAT team at his parent’s house or his apartment,” said the sheriff, who was only involved with the surrender and not the broader investigation. “He was truly fearful about being shot by law enforcement.”
The left is in the middle of a full-blown manic response over Jimmy Kimmel's show being indefinitely preempted after a decision by affiliates and ABC. This followed Kimmel's disgraceful remarks alleging MAGA was desperately trying to spin the narrative that Kirk's accused killer wasn't one of them. That flew in the face of facts that the authorities have laid out regarding the case, and frankly, could deceive the public. ABC decided to pull the show after its Nexstar affiliate called the comments "offensive." That sparked a meltdown from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who blamed Trump.
