What's up with California's impeccably coiffed Governor Gavin "A Little Dab'll Do Ya" Newsom? He seems determined to keep allowing men and boys to play on women's and girls' competitive sports teams, despite all the evidence from biology and reality as to how unfair that is. Governor Newsom himself admitted it was unfair. And yet, caught between the Scylla of the "gender ideology" nuts and the Charybdis of the "Resist Trump at all costs" left, he keeps looking for ways to allow the cheaters to keep cheating. His latest effort is the formation of a "Sports Equity Commission", following the left's pattern of taking any ridiculous idea and

Ace Frehley, original lead guitarist and founding member of the rock band KISS, has died. He was 74. The musician’s family confirmed the sad news in a statement released to Variety on Thursday. “We are completely devastated and heartbroken. In his last moments, we were fortunate enough to have been able to surround him with loving, caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers and intentions as he left this earth,” the statement reads. “We cherish all of his finest memories, his laughter, and celebrate his strengths and kindness that he bestowed upon others. The magnitude of his passing is of epic proportions, and beyond comprehension.

A federal grand jury in Maryland has reportedly indicted former national security adviser John Bolton. Two sources told CNN that Bolton is being indicted for allegedly sharing classified information with his wife and daughter over email. Sources previously told CNN that part of the Justice Department’s investigation centers around notes he was making to himself in an AOL email account — at times writing summaries of his activities like diary entries — when he was working for Trump. FBI agents executed a search warrant on Bolton’s Maryland home and Washington, DC, office this summer. The agents seized multiple documents labeled “secret,” “confidential,” and “classified,” including some about weapons of mass destruction,

Former U.S. national security adviser John Bolton is being indicted for allegedly mishandling classified information by sharing it on a private email server. A federal grand jury indicted Bolton in Maryland on 18 counts of illegally hoarding or sending national security information. He faces up to 10 years in prison for each count of the indictment. The indictment comes two months after federal agents raided Bolton’s home and Washington, D.C., office to find evidence for the case.

The map shows the contorted Congressional District in Louisiana that is at issue in the Supreme Court case that was argued yesterday. You won’t see this map in most of the news reports on the case – not because it’s not newsworthy, but because it is. This picture speaks a thousand words about the absurdity at issue. All parties to the case – and the Supreme Court Justices, as well – agree that this strange amalgamation was created for the express purpose of establishing a district that is supposedly Black* so that Blacks could be assured of electing Black representatives.

In the swiftly degenerating world of western relationships one factor above all others can be identified as the culprit: Feminism. The driving force behind third-wave feminism is not the pursuit of equal rights it's the pursuit of power. Like any communist movement, unilateral power over society is the end goal. When power is the goal, such movements naturally attract narcissistic people. How can the nuclear family function when the female half of the equation is conditioned to become self serving, ego-maniacal, conflict oriented, status obsessed, victim obsessed and desperate for control? One particular trend has feminists enraged is "nose ring theory"

A Hanover Park police officer accused of living in the U.S. illegally has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of a federal crackdown targeting sanctuary cities like Chicago. What we know: ICE said Thursday that agents arrested Radule Bojovic, a native of Montenegro, who was working as a sworn officer with the Hanover Park Police Department. Officials said Bojovic entered the U.S. on a tourist visa that expired in March 2015 and remained illegally for a decade.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a billionaire, took home $1.4 million in winnings after playing blackjack at a casino in Las Vegas last year, according to a copy of his new tax filing. Pritzker, who is seeking a third term in office and is on the 2028 short list, reported the earnings in his latest tax filing after he played the card game while on a vacation with his wife and some friends, a Pritzker spokesperson said Thursday. The governor will be donating the money to charity, according to his campaign.

President Donald Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on foreign-made cars have scored the nation’s Rust Belt a major manufacturing victory as Stellantis announces a $13 billion investment and plans to reshore production from overseas. On Wednesday, Stellantis executives said the automaker would be investing billions into the United States market, including more than $600 million to reopen the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Belvidere, Illinois, after having closed it under the Biden administration. This investment in the U.S. – the single largest in the Company’s history – will drive our growth, strengthen our manufacturing footprint and bring more American jobs to the states we call home,”

On Wednesday, The New York Times’ Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Hamed Aleaziz reported the Trump administration is considering “giving preference to English speakers” and foreigners who “oppose migration” to potential refugee seekers. According to The Times, “The proposed changes would put new emphasis on whether applicants would be able to assimilate into the United States, directing them to take classes on ‘American history and values’ and ‘respect for cultural norms.'” To The Times, such alleged reforms are apparently scandalous — as if wanting foreigners to be able to understand our history and values and respect our culture is some sort of problem. In reality, it’s what any serious nation would do.

Ahigh-ranking Department of War official who reportedly disdains Vice President J.D. Vance is seeking to elevate a “true acolyte” of DEI ideology to a top position within the U.S. Army, Trump White House and Pentagon sources told The Federalist. “People at the White House are pi**ed. People throughout the Department [of War] are pi**ed,” a senior Army official told The Federalist.)snip) the DOW has submitted paperwork to the White House to replace Gen. James Mingus with Lt. Gen. Christopher LaNeve as vice chief of staff of the Army. LaNeve, one source noted, is not viewed favorably throughout the force and is a “true acolyte” of the destructive DEI ideology

A remote Arctic island once used as a Soviet weather station has become overrun by polar bears. On Kolyuchin Island, in Russia’s Chukchi Sea, dozens of bears now roam through abandoned buildings and peer from shattered windows. The Kolyuchin weather station was abandoned in the early 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

It’s one thing to understand that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was DEI nomination to the Supreme Court, and another thing entirely to listen to her own words as she proves it. During oral arguments in ‘Louisiana v. Callais’, a case before the high court considering whether Louisiana’s congressional map (which includes two majority-black districts), where plaintiffs in the case argue the congressional map is unconstitutionally gerrymandered based on race; Justice KBJ compares black people to disabled people. The comparison for the argument she is trying to make is ridiculous. Listen:

Rep. Nancy Pelosi lashed out at a reporter who asked why the former House speaker “refused the National Guard” on Jan. 6, 2021, as she was being assisted out of the Capitol on Wednesday. Pelosi (D-Calif.), who was clutching the arm of an aide as she gingerly navigated the steps of the Capitol, quickly spun around, pointed her finger at the LindellTV reporter’s face and appeared enraged at the suggestion that a new Republican-led committee investigating the riot might find her “liable.” “Shut up!” Pelosi, 85, barked. “I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn’t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points

Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), the potential frontrunner for California governor, now regrets mistreating a reporter and a staffer, admitting she “could have handled things better.” Last week, Politico obtained a video of Porter cursing at a staffer while taping a meeting with the Biden administration. “Get out of my f****** shot!” Porter yelled at the staffer in the video. When the staffer issued her correction regarding a policy detail, Porter responded, “Okay. You also were in my shot before that. Stay out of my shot.” The unearthed footage came just days after a video went viral that showed Porter threatening to exit an interview with a California CBS News affiliate.

Seamus Bruner, VP of Research for the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), is just back from a White House panel last week where independent journalists who have covered Antifa’s activities explained their findings for several Cabinet secretaries and President Donald Trump himself, a surprise attendee. GAI’s crack team of researchers has already uncovered more than $100 million of taxpayer money fed into the protest industrial complex. Bruner shared GAI’s research with the president and the cabinet secretaries tracing the money that enables the rioting by Antifa and its allied groups.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is meeting in London to vote on new rules to cut “greenhouse gases” by imposing a first-ever global tax on shipping emissions. The meeting of the U.N. agency ends Friday and is expected to finalize a “Net-Zero Framework (NZF)” where commercial ships would pay for emissions over a set limit as defined by the IMO, while vessels that meet tougher standards could trade or bank so-called “surplus units.” The Trump administration unequivocally rejects the proposal and has threatened to retaliate if nations support it, setting the stage for a fight over the climate deal.

Following what Volodymyr Zelensky called “productive” telephone calls with Donald Trump, the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents will be meeting in Washington on Friday. We can assume that Zelensky will be wearing something akin to a suit and that the agenda will involve more than pleasantries. Since meeting Trump in Alaska, Vladimir Putin has made a mockery of the president’s attempts to broker a peace deal. Russia’s offensive in the Donbas grinds on, and Russia recently changed the law to allow reservists to perform “defensive tasks” in Ukraine, a provision that will undoubtedly be interpreted broadly. Despite denials from Havana,

Sixty percent of young liberals say it is “acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest in response to immigration raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),” according to a survey by Cygnal. 42 percent of liberals said it was acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest even if that meant breaking the law,” said a press statement from Virginia-based Cygnal, which added: “The number jumps to 60 percent of liberals under the age of 30. Liberals are shockingly okay with breaking the law to go against government action they don’t agree with, like ICE raids,” said Cygnal President and pollster, Brent Buchanan. He continued:

Passengers at airports in Pennsylvania and British Columbia were stunned Tuesday when loudspeakers suddenly blasted pro-Hamas messages and slurs against President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Videos posted by travelers showed the unauthorized recordings echoing through terminals at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania and Kelowna International Airport in Canada. Screens at Kelowna also flashed messages praising Hamas and urging “Free Palestine,” according to officials and witnesses.

It’s early days but there are signs that Trump Derangement Syndrome is on the way out. And the Middle East peace deal Donald Trump pulled off with sheer force of personality is part of the reason. In a whirlwind 36 hours, the president addressed the Knesset in Jerusalem to hail a “new dawn in the Middle East,” and then flew to Sharm el-Sheikh to sign the Gaza peace deal, flanked by the leaders of Egypt, Turkey and ­Qatar, who had helped forced Hamas’ hand. European leaders took a back seat and meekly kowtowed to Trump.

Lipscomb Academy Head of School Brad Schultz in 2013 completed a doctoral dissertation about the decade-long effort of an unnamed Christian school to increase the diversity of its student body, according to an abstract made available online by Georgia Southern University. According to the abstract, Schultz’s work is, “a historical investigation designed to analyze a private Christian school’s intentional efforts to significantly diversify its student body after decades in existence.” Schultz’s abstract claims, “given the history of private education and of race relations in the United States, it is vital to discover how existing power dynamics between white mainstream

Former FBI Director James Comey, who was recently indicted for allegedly lying to Congress when he denied authorizing bureau leaks to the media, is being represented by Patrick Fitzgerald – whose connection to the leak ordeal dates back to when Comey was fired from his post in 2017, then leaked his so-called Comey Memos to the press to prompt the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. Fitzgerald, also a former U.S. attorney, was one of Comey’s lawyers after President Donald Trump fired him in May 2017. Shortly after he was fired, Comey sent Fitzgerald copies of his memorializations of private conversations he had with Trump, then Fitzgerald forwarded copies

Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat running for Virginia governor, insists she's running on a platform of saving Virginian families money. At least that's what she says. What she does, on the other hand, is completely different. And now Spanberger wants to slap Virginia taxpayers with the bill for a $15 million DEI czar and staff to enact racist, discriminatory practices in Virginia's government. Spanberger noted the position, a cabinet-level one, started with former Governor Ralph Northam. "What it meant in that administration," Spanberger said, "is that there was someone who was bringing a lens of intentionality and inclusivity. How do we view history here in Virginia,

Has the gender madness fever finally breaking among America’s youth? Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, compiled a report for the Centre for Heterodox Social Science titled “CHSS Report No. 5 The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans.” The report draws on data from several sources, including annual campus surveys done by Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a Higher Education Research Institute survey of incoming college freshmen, and as well as various other studies. Kaufmann found that the “share of young people not identifying as male or female (typically ticking the non-binary or questioning options)

How many times have we heard over the last decade that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy? That we were going to lose our democracy if he isn’t restrained (and maybe even eliminated)? That our democracy is in peril because Trump and his supporters are fascists, Nazis, and worse, if anything can be? The Democrats and their media allies hammer the term far beyond the point of absurdity. What is their obsession with “democracy,” a word that appears neither in the Declaration of Independence nor in the Constitution? Because, as has been pointed out many times, but clearly not enough, the U.S. is not a democracy. Our nation is a republic.

Pentagon reporters turned in their badges after they refused to sign Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s new security rule. “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded that reporters agree by 5 p.m. Tuesday to a new policy, under which they would need to pledge to not obtain or use any unauthorized material, even if the information is unclassified — or hand over their press badges in the next 24 hours,” The Hill reported on Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon, Pentagon reporters turned in their badges.CNN’s Brian Stelter hyperventilated over the development. “Reporters have been showing up at the Pentagon today and handing in their press passes,” Brian Stelter said. “This is an extraordinary moment,” he said.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has surprised Democrats by scheduling a vote Thursday on advancing the $852 billion defense appropriations bill amid the government shutdown. The defense measure in July passed out of the Appropriations Committee with strong Democratic support — 26 to 3 — but the political calculus has changed since then because of the government shutdown, which has now dragged into its third week.Thune pushed the annual National Defense Authorization Act through the Senate last week, and now he’s daring Democrats to block the defense appropriations bill as Republicans are putting a spotlight on how the shutdown is impacting national security.

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley (Iowa) praised the Trump administration for overhauling the National Human Trafficking Hotline after a whistleblower came forward to him about the previous contractor’s mismanagement.National Review first reported on whistleblower disclosures to Grassley in May alleging Polaris Project, the contractor running the human trafficking hotline, failed to report complaints to law enforcement. The whistleblower disclosed to Grassley specific instances where Polaris’s system led to situations where credible tips were not reported to law enforcement. Empower Oversight, the legal group representing the whistleblower, told Grassley that the person made disclosures internally and to government offices including the HHS inspector general.

Some of the most astute writers and commentators who have weighed in on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire/hostage release/end of war issue that is on every media outlet’s front burner today and for the last few weeks is dead wrong about what they say is the foolish, dangerous, misguided, cave-to-the-terrorists, endanger Israel, empower-our-enemies choice that President Donald Trump and his negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have made in this delicate process. “What is it about cutting off the head of the snake Trump doesn’t understand?” rails one critic who questions why Hamas has not yet been obliterated.

Yes, we trash can. President Barack Obama’s austere new presidential library is getting roasted with comparisons to the Death Star, garbage bins and other domineering monoliths in a hilarious social media thread sparked by Sen. Ted Cruz. “Locating the Death Star in Chicago was a bold move,” Cruz (R-TX) wrote on X Tuesday while reposting a video of the latest work on Obama’s Chicago presidential center.The facility, a slab of concrete and granite rising 225 feet above Chicago’s Jackson Park, has faced ridicule from critics since its design was first unveiled nearly 10 years ago — and the the peanut gallery poured on more jokes after Cruz’s post.

President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel, on Wednesday, touted the FBI’s crackdown on violent crime since the start of the administration, and Trump called for his top law enforcement officials to zone in on San Francisco.Trump, Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche held a press conference in the Oval Office to update the public on the administration’s successes in combating crime.According to a graphic shared by the FBI, it has arrested 28,859 criminals in 2025, on pace to more than double the 15,388 violent criminal arrests in 2024, the final full year of the Biden administration.

Former President Obama just will not go away. It seems like every other day, he is on a podcast, doing an interview, or making news by commenting on the issues of the day. At the same time, he seems like the incredible shrinking man, because his legacy is being gutted by Trump’s second term. Now he is doing ads for Prop 50 in California, in which he accuses Republicans of trying to rig the next election.Former President Barack Obama and California Governor Gavin Newsom are urging Californians to vote in favor of Proposition 50, a ballot measure that would replace the state’s independent redistricting system with a legislature-

As RedState reported, the fallout from the Jay Jones texting scandal continues to rock the race for attorney general in Virginia, with new polling from Trafalgar Group showing GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares now leading the embattled Democrat nominee by six points after trailing him by four points in their previous poll.There has also been an "up-ballot" effect as well, with notable movement in the gubernatorial race and the lieutenant governor race, with both races now in statisitcal ties and within the margin of error -

Earlier today, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi unloaded on Lindell TV reporter Alison Steinberg today on the steps of the US Capitol after she was confronted on her deadly actions on January 6, 2021. Lindell TV reporter Alison Steinberg asked Pelosi why she refused to call in the National Guard on January 6th and Pelosi started screaming – “SHUT UP!” Alison Steinberg: “Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the January 6th Committee will find you liable for that? Are at all concerned about the January 6th Committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?

From the Andes to the Himalayas, a new wave of protests is unfolding across the world, driven by generational discontent against governments and anger among young people. This week, Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina was forced out of power and out of the country after a military mutiny, the culmination of weeks of demonstrations led by young protesters referring to themselves as “Gen Z Madagascar.” The rage against the political establishment in the Indian Ocean island country mirrors other recent protests across the world, in countries like Nepal, the Philippines, Indonesia, Kenya, Peru and Morocco.
