Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., announced on Thursday he is launching a campaign for California governor in 2026. The congressman and longtime foe of President Donald Trump made the announcement during an appearance on the late-night show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" "He’s going to hate tonight’s episode," Swalwell wrote on X in response to a social media post from the president criticizing Kimmel for being "biased" and having "no talent." The Democrat lawmaker vowed to be a "protector and fighter" if elected governor.

My close friends blame me for everything that Donald Trump does.
One year ago I, a lifelong Democrat, wrote in The Free Press that I had just voted for Trump. I realized that my party had turned its back on working-class families like my own—in favor of identity politics, free trade, and open borders. Many people warned me about publishing the essay. They told me the reaction would be brutal, and they were right. Strangers on the internet relentlessly harassed me. Death threats flooded my inboxes. People accused me of being a Russian asset.
They also told me that the left would use it against me when
A new investigation found that Minnesota taxpayer dollars were going far beyond the North Star State's borders and ending up in the hands of Al-Shabaab, an al Qaeda-linked terror group. Ryan Thorpe and Christopher F. Rufo of the Manhattan Institute uncovered a web of fraud involving Minnesota’s Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program, Feeding Our Future and other organizations in a bombshell report. Thorpe and Rufo noted that, in many cases, members of Minnesota's Somali community were perpetrators of fraud. They added that federal counterterrorism sources confirmed that millions of dollars in stolen funds were sent back to Somalia, which is how Al-Shabaab got the cash
If you have a TV or social media, chances are you’ve seen Scott Jennings in his element: when he’s owning the libs.
No one does it better.
The CNN senior political commentator and Republican strategist has become one of the leading voices for conservatives around the country. He’s often the only Republican at the table, and he deftly takes on his liberal counterparts with rationality and humor. Jennings’ meme-perfect expressions of amused disbelief at what progressives say often speak for themselves.
Leading up to Donald Trump’s second term, Jennings was able to break down the president’s appeal to many conservatives for CNN viewers,
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its website with a new stance on the potential link between vaccines and autism. The new wording on the CDC’s site states, "The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.
"Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities." The agency noted that the statement "vaccines do not cause autism" has been "historically disseminated" by the CDC and other federal health agencies in an effort to prevent vaccine hesitancy.

When Obama administration officials manufactured U.S. intelligence tying Donald Trump to Moscow following his stunning 2016 victory, they had no idea Trump’s own political appointees would help them undermine Trump’s presidency – and his chances of reelection in 2020.
RCI’s review of recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with former Trump officials reveals for the first time how key members of Trump’s cabinet and other appointees during his first term shrouded the previous administration’s machinations and either deliberately or inadvertently misled the public into thinking the fake Russiagate intelligence was real.
A project heralded by Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy and accelerated by President Donald Trump stands to deal a huge blow to China’s dominance in the nanotechnology, energy and automotive sectors as the GraphiteOne project near Nome uncovered vast reserves — for which Beijing previously accounted for 90% of production. As of 2024, the U.S. was at least 93% import-dependent on both rare earth elements (REEs) and graphite itself, according to the International Energy Agency, and the Graphite Creek deposit near Nome has already been dubbed the largest such tranche in the U.S.
But, this week’s announcement that REEs were discovered in addition to the
Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’
14 replies
For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned. Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet. Like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into every aspect of Western culture, from the corporate boardroom to the university campus. Question whether man-made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather than natural, often centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling of the planet, and one was labeled a climate crank.
Ecuador's president wants to change his country's constitution, and Ecuadorians will get to say whether they agree in a referendum this weekend.
To be held on November 16, the vote will decide whether a nearly 20-year constitutional clause banning foreign militaries from having a presence in the country is repealed.
Surveys by the Cedatos polling firm suggest nearly two-thirds of the country is supportive of the change. If passed, it would allow the US to occupy bases on Ecuador's Pacific coastline.
For Ecuador, it would strengthen ties to the US and potentially improve efforts to fight local violence. For the Trump Administration, it would be a boon for its campaign against drug trafficking
People visiting Benjamin Franklin's grave, just across from the United States Mint, often drop pennies on the marble marking the final resting place of the Founding Father who wrote, "A penny saved is two pence clear."
But soon, visitors may have to pay a little more to pay their respects to Franklin. The U.S. Mint says it has stopped producing pennies, a historic shift in currency two centuries after the one-cent coin entered circulation.
The last penny was stamped with the aid of Treasurer Brandon Beach at the Philadelphia U.S. Mint during an event on Wednesday, Nov. 12, part of an effort to retire the coin that now costs more to produce

$100M corruption case rocking Zelensky’s
wartime government 10 replies
Ukraine suspended its justice minister on Wednesday after an investigation linked him to an alleged $100 million energy kickback scheme, a case that’s shaking trust in President Volodymyr Zelensky’s wartime government.
Justice Minister German Galushchenko, who had previously served as energy minister, was suspended after one of his advisors had been named a suspect in the alleged scheme to control procurement at the Energoatom nuclear agency and other state enterprises.
Five suspects were charged this week in connection with the case, including long-time Zelensky ally Timur Mindich, the co-owner of the Kvartal-95 TV studio that brought the president national fame before his foray into politics.
Toxic Dems Schumer, Pelosi get shut down

– and Trump stands tall with one of
his biggest DC wins 10 replies
The collapse of Chuck Schumer’s shutdown gambit, when seven fellow Democrats and one independent broke ranks with him, serves as a humiliating bookend to the longest government closure ever.
It also simultaneously highlights one of President Trump’s most sweeping and crucial Washington victories over his most toxic opponents.
Ever since his first election in 2016, Trump has been thwarted, tormented, impeached and mocked by Schumer and Democratic former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. And now he has turned the tables on them in devastating fashion, with Schumer likely to be dethroned as Senate minority leader and Pelosi packing her money bags to leave Washington for good.

President Trump hailed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprising resignation announcement Friday as “great news” for America.
“I think it’s great news for the country,” Trump told ABC News during a brief phone call.
“It’s great,” he added. The president indicated that Greene (R-Ga.) did not share her plans with him ahead of her social media post announcing her intention to leave office on Jan. 5, 2026, and said he had no plans to speak with her. “Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know? But I think it’s great,” Trump said. “I think she should be happy.”
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara apologized to the Somali community for a comment he made connecting "East African kids" to crime. "The Somali community here in Minneapolis has been welcoming and has shown love towards me, and I appreciate it," O'Hara said at a news conference on Thursday. "Over the last three years we have been working together to try and address some of the real serious problems that we have in our community." "We have to be honest at times with the problems that we're having in our community, and we need our community to help us fix those
A shooting at a Christmas tree lighting event in Concord, North Carolina, on Friday left four people wounded, according to police.
Concord Police said three victims were listed in critical condition and one was in stable condition. All four victims were rushed to a hospital for medical treatment.
The shooting happened at the city’s annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on Union Street S near the intersection with Corban Avenue shortly before 7:30 p.m.
Police, Concord Fire and Cabarrus County EMS personnel were already at the event and responded immediately with medical aid and evacuation efforts.
The remainder of the event was canceled after the shooting.
The U.S. Postal Service announced that it will increase prices for most shipping services beginning January 18, 2026, pending regulatory approval, as the self-funded agency works to narrow persistent financial losses.
The changes, already approved by the USPS Board of Governors, would raise Priority Mail rates by about 6.6%, Priority Mail Express by 5.1%, USPS Ground Advantage by 7.8%, and Parcel Select by 6%. Prices for mailing services, including the cost of a First-Class stamp, will remain unchanged in January.
The move follows the release of fiscal 2025 results showing a $9 billion net loss, slightly better than the $9.5 billion the prior year. Operating revenue rose 1.2% to $80.5 billion,
A liberal columnist complained Thursday about hearing the American national anthem in Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital.
Jamie Stiehm, who has contributed to several corporate media outlets, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, wrote for The Capital Times on Thursday that though the “Star-Spangled Banner” might be appropriate for “ballparks and stadiums,” it is “dissonant” to play before a classical music concert in today’s political climate.
Stiehm said that classical music transcends international boundaries, but the national anthem pulls the arts back into the orbit of President Donald Trump’s influence. After attending a symphony at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
President Donald Trump announced Friday night that he is ending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for Somali migrants in Minnesota, and claimed "Somali gangs" are bullying Americans in the state.
The TPS program allows certain migrants to stay in the country legally if they cannot return home due to natural disasters, armed conflicts or other extraordinary events, and Minnesota has, in recent decades, become the home of tens of thousands of Somalians due to resettlement. Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that Minnesota's Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has allowed the state to be a "hub of fraudulent money laundering activity,
Mamdani: NYC Jews are arming up

Throughout America, gun owners and others who recognize the importance of the Bill of Rights have celebrated Trump II. He’s the first POTUS in memory who has taken active steps to preserve the Second Amendment and American’s other rights. He’s directed the DOJ to actively uphold the Second Amendment, and while their efforts haven’t yet been perfect, they’re finally in line with the Constitution. [snip] Jewish New Yorkers are arming themselves before an anti-Israel “mayor who despises us” takes the helm of New York City, several told The Post this week.
President John F. Kennedy's granddaughter publicly torched her cousin Robert F. Kennedy in an essay revealing her secret terminal cancer fight. Tatiana Schlossberg, 35, said she watched in horror from her hospital bed as RFK Jr was confirmed for the top health post in February. She said the health-care system she relied on suddenly felt 'strained, shaky' after RFK Jr's confirmation and that she worried about losing access to leukemia and bone-marrow trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering, her best chance at remission. Writing on the 62nd anniversary of JFK's assassination, Schlossberg revealed she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a type of blood cancer, in May 2024.
Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of JFK, has less than a year to live after being diagnosed with terminal leukemia, she announced Saturday.
“Maybe my brain is replaying my life now because I have a terminal diagnosis, and all these memories will be lost,” she writes in a searing article about her condition in the New Yorker.
Schlossberg, 35, whose parents are Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, has acute myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation. She described how her doctors discovered the cancer – just a few hours after she gave birth to her second child in 2024.

Video footage located by congressional investigators shows the still-unidentified Jan. 6 pipe bomber's first stop was the Congressional Black Caucus building, but no explosive device was discovered there, raising new questions about the suspect's goals and motivations ahead of the Capitol riot. The footage was identified by Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., and his House judiciary subcommittee, which is investigating the security failures and the unanswered questions of Jan. 6.
Trump Played Mamdani Like a Fiddle

Oh, I know: The PJ Media audience wanted to see President Donald Trump take a blowtorch to Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani, holding him accountable for his Marxist rhetoric, welcoming him to the D.C. Big Leagues with some Trumpian chin music. It’s not your fault. Earlier Oval Office onslaughts whetted your appetite: “Trump’s tangle with Zelensky was pretty good. So [gets popcorn] this Mamdani mele oughta be a doozy. Beer me!”
And now you’re disappointed — or maybe, deep in your heart, even a little embarrassed — by the total lack of Mamdanian mayhem. You were expecting World War III and received a bouquet of flowers! Worst pay-per-view ever!
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials continue to do incredible work despite constant harassment and violence, with the latest numbers out of Houston illustrating the impressive efforts of federal officers.
Murderers, pedophiles, and gang members are among the more than 3,500 criminal illegal aliens whom ICE arrested in Houston during the six weeks of the Democrat-induced Schumer Shutdown. This is particularly impressive because ICE wasn’t getting paid during this month and a half, as they got thousands of dangerous foreign criminals off our streets.
“ICE officers are facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats,
