Streaming giant Netflix is planning a Trumpian charm offensive on the heels of some very anti-MAGA comments made by one of its board members and as it faces heightened scrutiny from White House antitrust regulators over its planned purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming and studio units, The Post has learned. The maneuvers come as Paramount Skydance submitted its last and final offer for WBD on Sunday, said sources with knowledge of the matter. The company previously weighed taking its bid up to around $32 a share. In Netflix land, the planned meetings, which have yet to be reported,

The Netflix acquisition of WBD should be nixed, voided, and forever trashed. Netflix does not meet American values.

If Nut Flex acquires WBS regular movie going will change and not for the better. Plus they have anti-American lying losers like the Obama’s and Rice on their BODs.

We have been reporting on TGP (in fact, for over seven years) about the damaging ties between late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and former Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton, Larry Summers. But since last November, the world of the former Harvard president started to unravel rapidly, as you can read it in: So, today (25), reports arise that Summers will resign from the University where he studied 50 years ago and rose to the presidency, over his Epstein dealings. “Summers will retire at the end of the academic year but will remain on leave until then, a Harvard spokesperson said in a statement.

growing number of K–12 students are taking part in walkouts and protests against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations across the nation, raising questions about the activists radicalizing them. The walkouts, which many school administrators say are a legitimate exercise of the students’ First Amendment rights, have seen increasing incidents of violence and lawlessness, ranging from beatings and scuffles to vandalism. The activist group Dare To Struggle instructed students from six downtown Los Angeles area schools to meet at the “Federal Building by 2pm” to protest deportations.

Here's something on which you can rely to be accurate, every time: When Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has an idea about matters of economics, she's wrong. It's as sure as the sun coming up in the morning; it will, in the east, and Senator Warren will be wrong every time. Nowhere has that been more apparent than in examining the record of her brainchild (I use the term 'brain' advisedly), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB. We are generally correct to be a little skeptical about anything with "Bureau" in the title, but this one has been a real mess.

The Cuban regime may have just sealed its fate. It's not yet clear if the people on board were United States citizens, though many are assuming so since the boat was registered in the U.S. The Interior Ministry's full statement reads: Cuba's Interior Ministry announced on Wednesday that four men on a Florida-registered vessel, possibly a speedboat, were shot and killed by its Border Guard after entering Cuban waters near Santa Clara Province. Six other people aboard the boat were wounded. The regime claims that the people on board the vessel shot at the Border Guards first.

Did you ever go to Yankee Stadium? I’ve been there dozens of times and have always felt thrilled and celebratory when they’ve won, especially in the years when Mariano Rivera was closing and Jorge Posada was catching. I even wore my Posada jersey when I knew he would be in the lineup. There are 46,537 seats in the stadium, and it is always packed. But what fascinated me the most was when the Yankees lost, and I witnessed the reaction of die-hard fans as they exited the ballpark. Many had fire in their eyes — pure rage. Others took to expletives.

Trump hosted several top journalists in the nation at the White House, including me and our editor-in-chief, Alex Marlow, from Breitbart News, for lunch at the White House on Tuesday to preview the address and prepare the country’s top broadcasters for what is to come in his address. Breitbart News was the only outlet without a television network present for the lunch, which was also attended by Vice President JD Vance, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and top aides like Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and communications director Steven Cheung.

President Trump boasted he pulled off an economic “turnaround for the ages” in the longest State of the Union address in history — while using the US Olympics men’s hockey team as evidence that the country was “winning” like never before. Trump played cheerleader-in-chief to a vast TV audience, describing the country as thriving while bringing stability to the world — and dusting off his signature campaign line about voters fearing the country would be “winning too much” on his watch. The president took the opportunity to attack the Supreme Court for striking down his “reciprocal” tariffs — which he credited for bringing America’s economic “turnaround” —

Former British Ambassador to the US Lord Peter Mandelson, who was fired over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, police in London said Monday. The ex-diplomat, 72, was seen being led out of his London home by cops Monday afternoon after he was accused of leaking sensitive British government intelligence to the pedophile financier. Mandelson, who infamously appeared in the Epstein files in just his underwear and a T-shirt, looked stony-faced as he was put in the back of an unmarked car. Mandelson, the UK business secretary at the time, allegedly tipped off Epstein about potentially market-

The former head of a San Francisco homeless charity has been charged with stealing money intended to help struggling locals avoid homelessness — to fund a “lavish” lifestyle that included luxury cars and trunks full of jewelry. Gwendolyn Westbrook, who was CEO of United Council of Human Services, allegedly grifted more than $1.2 million in public funds — after the organization received tens of millions in government grants over the past 20 years. Prosecutors allege the 71-year-old nonprofit boss skimmed funds through cash withdrawals, payments to herself and improper reimbursements for her personal use. She directly stole $91,000 from the organization and additional funds once held by the charity are “unaccounted for,”

We've been reporting as more information comes to light about Sunday's raid in Mexico that resulted in the permanent revocation of Jalisco New Generation cartel honcho Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes's birth certificate. The late, unlamented cartel boss, also known as El Mencho, is still cooling to room temperature, thanks to Mexican police and military troops, aided by American intelligence. Now, in the latest development, a New York Post exclusive story has come out indicating that Mexico may have sweetened the deal for America by quietly extraditing 92 cartel members to face charges in the Estados Unidos.

President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union speech gave every American a front-row seat to see exactly who Democrats are — and more importantly, what they refuse to stand for. According to reports, more than 70 Democrats chose not to attend the speech, but most did, and several times over the course of the evening, they made a choice. They sat. They scowled. They heckled. While Republicans rose time and again in applause, the left side of the chamber looked like a group of children being punished. And Trump noticed. He called them out — repeatedly — for refusing to show even the most basic bipartisan enthusiasm for moments

President Trump's State of the Union speech Tuesday night got extra heated when he relentlessly called out Democrats for supporting sanctuary city policies and refusing to stand for the American people over criminal illegal aliens. Literally, refusing to stand. The President challenged Democrats to affirm their support for the American people over illegal immigrants. And they just couldn't do it. "I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle," he said, glaring at the Democrat side of the room. "If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support." The principle?

Wild video shows masked ruffians blatantly attacking a police cruiser while an officer was inside during a chaotic street takeover in Maryland. Video and witness accounts show drivers swarming the intersection of East West Highway and Connecticut Avenue shortly after midnight Feb. 22 in Gaithersburg, Maryland, blocking traffic in all directions and performing high-speed “donuts” as onlookers stood in the roadway. Montgomery County police said it started around 12:39 a.m., when a large caravan of vehicles tied to takeover activity was spotted heading toward the Silver Spring central business district. Officers moved to monitor the group and closed several intersections to limit access and protect the public.

By now, the video has gone viral with Trump asking a simple question: “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants.” With great timing and a gift for performance and storytelling, Trump pauses and lets the applause grow. He luxuriated in the moment as the Democrats sat there, stone-faced, thinking it would play well at MS-Now. It probably will. Trump wanted all of America to see it and remember it. He set a trap. They walked right into it. “You should be ashamed,” he said.

It’s no secret that in today’s Hollywood, artistic risk-taking often comes second to woke ideological conformity. Censorship, virtue signaling, and overprescribed outrage have become show-business-as-usual. Studios trip over themselves to inject far-left political messaging into nearly every script, award shows have become lectures, and entire careers can be derailed by a single viral moment that stokes a campaign of indignation. The industry’s obsession has created a climate where self-censorship is the norm and challenging the narrative is a career hazard.

Around the world, “trans” ideology has collapsed and medical professionals are stepping back from chemical and surgical interventions on young people. This is obviously a good thing, in my opinion, but there is much gnashing of teeth on the Left. The New York Times runs a piece by a liberal that focuses on how the purported scientific consensus on behalf of child mutilation fell apart: American advocates for youth gender medicine have insisted for years that overwhelming evidence favors providing gender dysphoric youth with puberty blockers, hormones and, in the case of biological females, surgery to remove their breasts.

Vice President JD Vance will announce Wednesday afternoon that $259.5 million in Medicaid funds for Minnesota won’t be reimbursed pending investigation — along with a national pause on firms that can seek subsidies through Medicare for durable medical equipment like canes and walkers, The Post has learned. Vance will appear alongside Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to make the announcement — one day after President Trump announced a “war on fraud” in his State of the Union address.

For decades, we have been told that America needs foreign labor to "do the jobs Americans won't do." For Democrats and the left, that usually translates to illegal immigrants. But in the wake of President Donald Trump's closing of the southern border and the deportation of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, it turns out that there are plenty of jobs that Americans are willing to do, and a new survey seems to be bearing that out in at least one state. The new survey by the Federal Reserve Bank in Texas shows that many companies in the Lone Star State are reducing their dependence on foreign labor.

Many homes and local governments in Greater Minnesota do not fly the new state flag, and many Minnesotans have noted the new flag's resemblance to the Somali flag.
