Van Jones, the CNN host and commentator, recently complained that neither the global left nor the mainstream media are covering the horrific violence against Nigerian civilians by Islamic terrorists.
True, they are not reporting the slaughter.
Truer still, they should be.However, Van Jones went completely off the rails when he blamed “the Jews.”
Or as he put it, “No Jews, no news”—a stereotyped statement as anti-Semitic as it is untrue.
In truth, lots of mass violence worldwide is ignored.
Unlike Trump, neither the left nor the mainstream media cared much for the recent mass ethnic cleansing of Armenian Christians from Nagorno-Karabakh—more than 120,000—by Azerbaijani Muslims.

Tours at the Capitol have come to a standstill. The House is keeping its doors closed, while the Senate is stuck in a loop of failed votes on a rejected plan to reopen the government. President Donald Trump is threatening to mass fire federal workers and refuse back pay for the rest.
As the government shutdown enters a second week, there’s no discernible endgame in sight.
“You have to negotiate,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont, argued late into the evening on the Senate floor. “That’s the way it works.”

In response to a Federalist inquiry, not a single Democrat U.S. Senator called for the Virginia Democrat attorney general candidate Jay Jones to drop out of the race in light of his text messages fantasizing about assassinating Republican Todd Gilbert.
“Put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” Jones wrote, after running a hypothetical about how to allocate two bullets among Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. The 2022 text messages were first reported by National Review on Friday. According to a source cited by the outlet, Jones also “suggested he wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her own child die-

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Attorney General Pam Bondi went head-to-head with Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL), exposing, once again, his refusal to release the Epstein flight logs that could implicate some of the world’s most powerful elites.
Bondi, appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, wasted no time calling out Durbin’s obstruction and hypocrisy, and Blackburn backed her up.
Durbin accused Bondi of misleading the public by claiming she had access to the Epstein client files. But Bondi fired back, clarifying her statement.

The FBI secretly obtained the phone records of nine Republican members of Congress, including eight sitting senators, under the Biden administration as part of its “Arctic Frost” investigation of 2020 election meddling, a bombshell document revealed.
Specific reasons for the FBI’s espionage of the sitting lawmakers are not clear. The document revealing the spy effort was recently turned over to lawmakers and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released it to the public on Monday.
“Based on the evidence to-date, Arctic Frost and related weaponization by federal law enforcement under Biden was arguably worse than Watergate,” Grassley said in a statement.

In New Jersey, the GOP is sensing a rare opening in the gubernatorial race, a state long considered a Democratic stronghold. Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot, is under renewed scrutiny for her role in a 1994 Naval Academy cheating scandal, an episode she had previously downplayed. Republican congressmen are now demanding the release of her military records to shed light on the full extent of her involvement.That controversy has quickly cast a shadow over Sherrill’s campaign, and recent polling reflects a tightening race with Republican Jack Ciattarelli.

The Democrat candidate for Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones fantasized about murdering Republicans in newly released text messages. Despite the egregious messages — Democrats are doubling down on their support for Jones.
In a 2022 exchange with Republican House Delegate Carrie Coyner, Jones said it would be a “good thing” if the children of his former colleague, Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert, would die.“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head. Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,”

One of the things that constantly stuns me about the American left is the cognitive dissonance. We live in the most affluent, safe, healthy, well-fed, well-lit, comfortable society in the world, but for leftists, it’s always the year 536 AD for the comforts of life, and the 1950s when it comes to race and abortion. It’s not the “best of times and the worst of times.” It’s just the worst of times, especially in America and especially if you’re black.
America abolished slavery in 1865. America began the process of culturally eradicating Jim Crow in the 1950s and politically eradicated it in 1964.

As the government shutdown continues, the media seems fixated on one Republican talking point: That the Democrats want health- care benefits for illegal immigrants. Of course they do.
Part of the way Democrats try to claim otherwise is semantics.
For example, President Joe Biden ballooned the number of illegal immigrants with Temporary Protected Status from 400,000 to 1.2 million during his term. TPS-holders have no legal right to live here, but the government has promised not to deport them until their home country resolves what is supposed to be a major destabilizing condition — a natural disaster, for example, although past administrations have tended to grant and renew TPS for far less.

When Zohran Mamdani was a 24-year-old amateur rapper living rent-free in his parents’ Upper West Side apartment, he was interviewed on a podcast celebrating his alma mater, the prestigious and selective Bronx HS of Science, where he made clear that he was too good for a mainstream New York City public school.
Only the best would do for this privileged, Uganda-born son of a tenured Columbia professor and an Oscar-nominated filmmaker.
In 2016, he told the oral history podcast “Encompassed – Bronx Science Stories” that, in eighth grade, while he was deciding which tony private school would have the pleasure of his enrollment for the next four years,

Bravo, Virginia GOP, bravo. It is so rare to see such a perfectly executed “October Surprise” in politics as just happened in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The term “October Surprise” describes an unexpected political disaster in the twilight hours of the campaign. Sometimes they are intentionally positioned by political opponents to impact voters, often days before they head to the polls. They aren’t always successful, but they’ve become a staple of modern politics.
In the 2025 Virginia elections, there are three statewide offices up for grabs.
