Russia is amassing nuclear weapons and attack submarines in the Arctic Circle as it prepares for war with Nato, Norway’s defence minister has warned. In an interview with The Telegraph, Tore Sandvik said Oslo had detected increased weapons development on Russia’s Kola peninsula, where its prized Northern Fleet and parts of its nuclear stockpile are based. He also said that Vladimir Putin was trying to gain full naval control over the Arctic region so that he could block Nato allies’ access to two key shipping routes that would help resupply Western forces in wartime.

A 48-page report released in September exposes the depth of the nation’s teachers’ unions’ hostility toward all things Jewish. “Breaking Solidarity: How Anti-Semitic Activists Turned Teacher Unions Against Israel,” published by the Defense of Freedom Institute in September, explains how unions have worked to embed anti-Semitism into K–12 education. This anti-Semitism was brought to light after Hamas’s horrific attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, the deadliest single attack on Jews since the Holocaust. The DFI report states that while the teacher unions that once proudly invested in Israel and fiercely affirmed its right to defend itself, “now demand boycotts of, divestments from, and sanctions against the world’s only Jewish state.

President Donald Trump said on Oct. 23 that an anonymous donor has sent the federal government a $130 million check to cover the shortfall in military troop pay during the ongoing government shutdown. “He called us the other day and he said, ‘I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I’d like to contribute, personally, contribute any shortfall you have with the military, because I love the military and I love the country, and any shortfall, if there’s a shortfall, I’ll contribute it,’’’ Trump said during a roundtable meeting with his Cabinet. Trump said the donor—a friend of his—sent the federal government a $130 million

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has escalated a legal and political battle with prominent California Democrats, announcing Thursday that she has ordered former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to preserve all her emails and records related to her alleged directive to arrest federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. “You cannot disclose the identity of a federal agent where they live, anything that can harm them,” Bondi declared, adding that Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is also “same ball game with him.” The action comes after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) sent a letter on Thursday to key California officials, including Nancy Pelosi, Governor Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta and

We're on the 24th day of the Schumer Shutdown, and the Democrats are continuing to vote against opening the government. But the Democrats are sending their people out to spin things as best they can. It is not going well for them. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8) appeared on CNBC, where he was crushed by the facts. This was priceless as host Becky Quick nuked the Democrats' argument on Obamacare subsidies. What you're asking Republicans to do when they control the White House, Senate, and House is effectively what the Democrats could not do when they controlled all 3 of those heads of government themselves. [...]

Last evening, the U.S. Senate adjourned until Monday, guaranteeing that the federal government “shutdown” will extend for a full four weeks. Before they left town, Senators confirmed the fifth federal judge this month, with two more teed up for Monday evening when they return. For his part, Pres. Trump will be off to Asia this weekend. The Hill newspaper reports, President Trump on Friday will travel to Asia for his first visit to the region since returning to the White House. The visit comes as the government shutdown hits Day 24 with no end in sight.

During an obligatory discussion about the second-longest government shutdown in U.S. history, Morning Joe guest and Politico columnist Jonathan Martin admitted on Wednesday that Democrats were holding out in defiance of President Trump while using health care as a “vehicle.” Trump hosted Senate Republicans for lunch at the White House on Tuesday, indicating a united Republican front. Martin was asked by MSNBC’s Mike Barnicle about Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s (R-SD) role in the budget mishap, to which he answered by explaining the issue that had plagued Republican effort

The insurrection continues apace. California officials, including Nancy Pelosi, have threatened to arrest and criminally prosecute ICE agents who allegedly violate California law. Pelosi and Congressman Kevin Mullin issued this press release on Wednesday: "Reports of a planned mass immigration raid in the Bay Area are an appalling abuse of law enforcement power. Broad sweeps that target families and terrorize law-abiding residents (Snip) This statement can charitably be described as disgraceful. What are the “certain actions” that federal agents have taken elsewhere that supposedly would be illegal in California, and under what California laws? Pelosi isn’t saying. The reference to “his rogue Supreme Court” is outrageous, as is the threat that

The Pentagon is sending the world’s largest aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford, and its carrier air wing to the Caribbean as the Trump administration conducts strikes against boats it says are smuggling illegal drugs in the region. Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said Friday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier, which was deployed in the Mediterranean, to the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility to help “dismantle Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) and counter narco-terrorism in defense of the Homeland.” Parnell wrote in a statement that the presence of the USS Gerald R. Ford in the region will

Pro-abortion ghouls are giddy in Pennsylvania after the Commonwealth’s House Judiciary Committee advanced seven horrific abortion bills yesterday. In summary, the bills would provide cover for existing abortion clinics and help the abortion industrial complex grow through favorable legislation and state funding. All seven bills passed along party lines – 14-12, with Democrats voting in favor of the proposals that would make Pennsylvania one of the more attractive states for mothers wanting to kill their unborn children.

11 Singhs were arrested in San Bernardino County, California, accused of operating a sophisticated freight theft and trucking fraud ring that diverted high-value shipments across state lines, costing companies millions. The police branded the criminal ring as the “Singh Organization,” raising questions about whether the repeated appearance of the surname in media reports involving massive narcotics busts, immigration violations, and fatal trucking accidents points to a broader pattern. Could U.S. efforts to combat ethnic-religious gangs like the “Singh Organization” be undermined by Canada?While the U.S. secures prosecutions, deports illegal drivers, and imprisons narcotics traffickers, Canada routinely grants bail

A Virginia couple has gone to court to try to block President Donald Trump from proceeding with demolition of the White House’s East Wing to make way for a new ballroom. Charles and Judith Voorhees filed a motion in Washington federal court Thursday afternoon, asking a judge to halt any further damage to the White House while the legality of the project is assessed. The motion seeks a temporary restraining order against the demolition, arguing it is taking place “without legally required approvals or reviews.”

Target, which has been struggling with sales in recent years, is eliminating 1,800 roles or about 8% of the company’s global HQ team, in a restructuring aimed to reduce “layers and overlapping work,” according to a memo seen by ABC News. The Minneapolis-based company is in the middle of a CEO transition with incoming chief executive Michael Fiddelke, a company veteran who will take the top job in February, and has started to implement his vision. "The truth is, the complexity we’ve created over time has been holding us back. Too many layers and overlapping work have slowed decisions, making

Only in today’s America could building a ballroom spark a national meltdown. President Trump is redoing part of the East Wing to create a stunning new ballroom, something timeless, elegant, and built to host history for generations to come. And the left are absolutely losing their marbles. It’s called “Ballroom Derangement Syndrome.” The outrage machine has gone into overdrive, hurling every insult imaginable, from “dictator” to “narcissist,” all because Trump dares to build something beautiful. Hilariously, these are the same Dems who will be twirling around the ballroom for years to come.

NBC “Propaganda Press” News has an exclusive, and it sent a press release about it to other press so all press can report that a handful of Democrat senators have written a letter. Sure, senators write strongly worded letters all the time — and often they result in no action — but NBC is marketing this letter as a big deal, doing its part to spread Democrat propaganda. The senators sent the letter — “first provided to NBC News,” according to the press release — to Education Secretary Linda McMahon, “demanding that she step in and ask the Department of Homeland Security to curb its operations around schools.”

Having provided deliberate advice and counsel quietly on these matters, it is important to continue watching the developments as they unfold. There are trillions at stake. President Trump’s global trade and economic reset is well underway. It is not an overstatement to say the western world economic structures within trade, banking and finance are in opposition to his efforts. Alas, as we have outlined extensively, part of the larger phase of this reset will come in the likely dissolution of the U.S. Mexico, Canada trade agreement (USMCA). Canada is taking actions to replace their U.S. trade relationship by aligning more with the EU and China. This is a very

llegal migrant and truck driver Harjinder Singh, who was allegedly responsible for a fatal crash in Florida earlier this year, reportedly failed the test to get his commercial driver’s license (CDL) 10 times before he finally got it in 2023. Singh, who had obtained a commercial driver’s license in California, has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide in connection with the crash that occurred in August, in which three people were killed. Investigators with the Florida Attorney General’s Office told Fox News on Thursday that Singh failed his CDL knowledge exam in Washington state 10 times

New York Attorney General Letitia James reportedly pleaded not guilty Friday in a Virginia court to two charges of federal bank fraud. The judge set a trial date of Jan. 26, 2026. "Not guilty judge to both counts," James reportedly said in the hearing at the federal Eastern District of Virginia court. The Justice Department indicted James earlier this month, alleging that she misrepresented how she would use a house she bought in 2020 in Norfolk, southeast Virginia, so she could obtain a lower interest rate on her mortgage, CBS News reported.

On Thursday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) responded to questions on whether migrants who were allowed into the country under the Biden administration would qualify for taxpayer-funded health care by saying, “It depends on the circumstance.” And “those people who have applied for asylum and are going through the process are here legally.” Host Mimi Geerges asked, “Congressman, as you know, Republicans are accusing Democrats of trying to give government health care, Medicaid to illegal immigrants. Democrats are denying that that’s the case. However, there’s a large number of people that were paroled into the country under the Biden administration. Are they considered illegal

Like two ships passing in the night, proponents and opponents of H1-B visas can’t see the forest through the trees. The void of American workers for qualified H‑1B positions was really caused by the ever-increasing scale and relaxed requirements of F‑1 student visas, and universities depending on international enrollment to balance budgets. Admissions at leading public institutions like Georgia Tech have become as competitive as elite private universities, yet a material share of limited undergraduate seats increasingly goes to non‑U.S. students who can pay full tuition and additional fees. The federal government issued approximately 401,000 new F‑1 visas in FY 2024, and there are about 1.1 million international students currently

HOUSTON, Texas — A Union Pacific railroad employee reported the discovery of a brush fire near a storage facility along an interstate highway in Houston. Firefighters responded and found the partially burned body of a man hanging by a rope from the overpass, police officials stated. The grim discovery of a man found hanging and partially burned beneath a Houston freeway Thursday night has drawn chilling parallels to cartel-style executions long documented by Breitbart’s Cartel Chronicles Project in northern Mexico, where bodies are often displayed in public as a message. While Houston police have not confirmed any connection to organized crime, investigators say the circumstances strongly suggest homicide,

The upcoming elections in Virginia have been more than a little wild to watch. Because they're off-year elections, there's not a whole lot else going on, so there is always a significant amount of attention on what's happening in the Old Dominion State. I kind of follow it anyway since I spent most of my Navy career there, and Cam lives there, so you know he's paying attention, but a lot of others are watching too. That's likely because many see Virginia as a bellwether for the midterm elections. The fact that the Democrats' attorney general candidate has turned out to be a complete and total trainwreck has certainly made

An underrated quality in life is knowing when to stay out of a debate. I won't claim to have always been perfect in that area, but hoo boy, did Chelsea Clinton fail the test on Thursday. If you've been following the news, you're likely aware of the ongoing meltdown over President Donald Trump using private donations to remodel the East Wing into a ballroom. Since pictures of the construction went viral, nearly every Democrat politician and those adjacent to them have chimed in to claim it's symbolic of the destruction of our democracy. To call it mind-numbingly pretentious would be an understatement. But while the protestations from Elizabeth Warren,

I was one of those many, many retired officers who thought it was great when Pete Hegseth walked in and told an assembly of hundreds of generals and admirals that they suck and are fat, and they needed to unsuck and get unfat. Well, he was a little more polite than that, but not much. Of course, when their subordinates screw up in a massive way like these generals and admirals have over the last three decades, these generals and admirals would not have sugarcoated it. There would be no talk of feelings, no hugging. They would nuke their delinquent subordinates until they glowed. Some of the flag officers—

Of all the things that Democrats have tried to tar President Donald Trump with, none is as petty, stupid and inconsequential as the current flap over remodeling the East Wing of the White House. But since Dems shut down the government, they have nothing else to do these days – apart from inciting their far-left followers to commit violence. These are dangerous times in the world, both abroad and here in the U.S. And yet, here’s California’s too-slick Gov. Gavin Newsom’s comment: “He’s literally destroying the White House.“ No, he’s “literally” not “destroying” the White House. He’s remodeling it.

Two national public employee unions sued the Trump administration over its restrictions preventing illegal immigrants from obtaining commercial drivers licenses. The American Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees filed a petition for review against the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The employee unions challenged a rule implemented by Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy restricting foreign individuals from receiving commercial drivers licenses. Commercial drivers licenses are used for operating large vehicles such as tractor-trailers and buses. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia allow unauthorized immigrants to receive commercial drivers licenses.

President Trump late Thursday evening announced all trade negotiations with Canada have been terminated after the government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio of President Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs. Trump accused the government of Ontario of interfering with the Supreme Court’s decision on his tariffs. The high court is set to hear oral arguments on November 5 on Trump’s tariffs after a lower court ruled they were illegal. “The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs,” Trump said.

FBI Director Kash Patel skewered ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith for suggesting that President Trump was behind the arrests of NBA stars and coaches in an illegal sports betting scheme. “I’m the FBI director. I decide which arrest to conduct and which not to conduct,” Patel told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday. “That may be the single dumbest thing I’ve ever heard out of anyone in modern history. And I live most of my time in Washington, DC,” he railed against Smith’s suggestion.

The illegal alien truck driver responsible for a fatal crash earlier this year in Florida failed his commercial drivers’ license (CDL) test in Washington a staggering 10 times within a two-month window. Between March and May 2023, Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien from India, tested 10 times to try to obtain a CDL license to drive trucks in the state of Washington. He failed every single time, according to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin and the Florida attorney general’s office. Yet, insanely, not only did the state of Washington eventually give Singh a CDL license anyway, but the state of California also gave him one.

Man, the Democrats are dreary and wretched people, aren't they? I once had food poisoning and it was more entertaining than reading about whatever it is that the Dems are shrieking about on any given day. This week, they have their adult diapers in a twist because President Trump is remodeling the White House. This is something that many presidents have done. The Democrats don't know that, however, because they've never read a history book that wasn't written by Howard Zinn. It's said that ignorance is bliss, but in this case it's misery-inducing for the perpetually ignorant Democrats.

In Britain and the United States, there are signs that creeping Islamisation has now accelerated to a gallop. Until recently, America viewed the erosion of Western norms by Islam as a British and European problem from which America was largely immune. That is now far from the case. Last week, the 34-year-old Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, the New York state assemblyman who is the runaway favourite to become mayor of New York City in next month’s election, posted pictures of himself at Masjid At Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn, New York with its imam, Siraj Wahhaj, who he described as one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders.

Mavis Jones, the wife of Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones (D.), donated to a bail fund that frees murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals from jail, and urged her followers to do the same. "I just donated to the Minnesota freedom fund," Mavis Jones posted to X in May 2020, as Black Lives Matter rioters wreaked havoc in Minneapolis in the days following George Floyd’s death, and just months before marrying Jay Jones. She also linked to the group's donation page before adding, "please consider doing the same or donating to any of the *legitimate* organizations supporting protesters."

There's applying pressure, and then there's PRESSURE. Donald Trump is an expert on both, and he is dumping tons of the latter on the tinpot tyrant of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. The raging authoritarian in charge of the failed narcostate has been a key portrait in the Trump bullseye ever since the administration was sworn in. Even though Maduro was a priority during his first administration, Trump Part Deux has a new focus and determination to not only shut down the drug and human trafficking pouring out of the country, but to do everything in his power to rid the country of Maduro's evil influence entirely.
