Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft. After months of battling a serious heart condition, we are thrilled to report that Jim’s heart surgery this morning was a complete success! For the past several years, Jim has quietly suffered from a severe heart issue caused by an infection he contracted while hospitalized following knee surgery nearly 15 years ago. The infection ravaged his heart and even caused him to lose vision in one eye. Despite the pain and fatigue, Jim rarely spoke about it. He is a humble man who never seeks attention or sympathy. Even when he wasn’t feeling well, Jim almost always said

Good news. Hope his brother does well, too. Strokes are very bad, but if caught early and treated properly, can be fully recovered from some times.

New Bill in Congress Offers Key Reform
Affecting Seniors' Social Security Payments

Posted by ConservativeYankee 5/7/2026 7:56:51 AM Post Reply
A new proposal in Congress would allow seniors to work in order to make ends meet without fear of losing their Social Security benefits. The “Senior Citizens’ Freedom to Work Act” would nix the Retirement Earnings Test, under which Social Security recipients lose benefits if they claim early retirement and continue earning above a particular threshold. The bill was introduced by Rep. Greg Murphy, a Republican from North Carolina, according to an April 16 release from his office. Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott introduced a companion bill. “American seniors’ ability to earn income and enjoy the dignity of work should not be penalized by arbitrary parameters to receive Social Security

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) has revealed she has long lived with a benign essential tremor after she launched her re-election campaign for a sixth term in the US Senate. Collins, 73, disclosed the condition — which causes visible shaking in her hands, head and voice — publicly for the first time on Wednesday while she insisted that it has not impacted her ability to serve in office. “I have had it for the entire time that I have served in the United States Senate,” Collins told NEWS CENTER Maine. “It has absolutely no impact on my ability to do my job or on how I feel each

Virginia prosecutor determined Tuesday not to bring criminal charges against a resident who has been accused of threatening White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller and his family. The case centers on whether Barbara Wien, a political activist in the state, engaged in a doxing and intimidation scheme against Miller and his wife, Katie Miller, last year, after she posted flyers in northern Virginia that depicted Miller's face and address. She has also been accused of attempting to intimidate Miller's wife at their Virginia home. Arlington and Falls Church Commonwealth Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti said in a 166-page court filing that she reviewed the case against Wien and found "nothing

The Department of Homeland Security has restarted processing visas for thousands of foreign doctors from 39 high-risk countries who have been hired by U.S. hospitals. Pro-migration advocates are celebrating what they hope will be a greater foreign inflow into American hospitals: It “is a great development for physicians and health care in the U.S.,” lawyer Curtis Morrison, who works for employers, told the New York Times. But the renewed inflow is bad for American patients and bad for the many Americans who want to become doctors, said Kevin Lynn, the director of the Institute for Sound Public Policy. “This year, over 1,300 [American] graduates from medical schools did not get [hospital training]

A federal judge has sentenced two Ohio brothers who posed as Middle Eastern royalty in a series of multimillion-dollar fraud schemes to more than twenty years in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Donald Nugent sentenced Zubair and Muzzammil Al Zubair, ages 42 and 31, to 24 years and 23 years in prison respectively, as well as $21 million in restitution, in schemes that also involved an East Cleveland official in the mayor’s office. “You stole a lot of money, defrauded people and put East Cleveland in a terrible light,” Nugent told the brothers during their Tuesday sentencing. “You basically flaunted it by driving around in a Rolls Royce

Former President Barack Obama’s presidential library is hocking pricey merch shaped like the unsightly Chicago tower — as the project’s architects revealed the former commander-in-chief himself was behind the “Death Star” design that’s been widely mocked since construction began. Ungainly lapel pins that “capture the silhouette” of the Obama Presidential Center are going for $30 in the online store. “The pin represents the intersection of bold design and global leadership,” the website reads, noting the proceeds go to the Obama Foundation “to inspire, empower and connect people to change their world.”

An Alabama teen flew to Los Angeles for life-saving treatment in his fight with stage four bone cancer after the Trump administration stepped in to help. Will Roberts, 15, made a plea for help on his mom’s Facebook page on April 22, appealing to the president and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “I’ve been fighting osteosarcoma for the last 16 months. It’s a very, very, very deadly and very hard-to-treat bone cancer,” he said in the video clip, asking for help from anyone with connections to the White House. “My chemos are just not working, and I’ve been fighting it for a little bit now, January of 2025.

Pro-Second Amendment organizations said they would launch court challenges against a bill in Rhode Island that would give owners of modern semiautomatic firearms six months to dispose of them. Democratic Rhode Island state Sen. Tiara Mack introduced S2710 on Feb. 27 with eight co-sponsors, legislation that tightens the state’s ban on so-called “assault weapons” by prohibiting possession of the firearms. Under the terms of the legislation, those who own prohibited firearms would have until Dec. 31 to either sell them to a licensed dealer or transfer them to an out-of-state resident who could legally own them, something pro-Second Amendment organizations say would violate Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

According to an explosive exclusive report from Paul Thacker, Munster and NIH lab scientist Claude Kwe Yinda were stopped during airport security screening upon their return from Africa earlier this year.

When my kids were very young, one of the first words that we banned was “stupid.” No one is stupid, I would tell them; some people just don’t think things through. Well, to borrow from that explanation, I probably didn’t think that all the way through. While I don’t regret teaching the kids not to use “the S word,” as we used to call it, the older I’ve gotten, I’ve had to face the reality that, yes, some people who otherwise are of sound mind are just stupid. Nowhere is this more evident than on social media. The latest example is a social media manager, of all things,

In an interview with investigators on Jan. 24, when asked why someone might commit arson in the Palisades, Rinderknecht “responded that it would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as ‘we’re basically being enslaved by them,’” and again referenced Mangione’s alleged crime, the documents

A Democratic lawmaker is drawing backlash after saying she spoke with foreign ambassadors about getting oil to Cuba despite U.S. sanctions, defending the outreach as "literally our right and responsibility." Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., made the remarks during a recent Seattle briefing following a congressional delegation trip to Cuba, where she discussed the island’s worsening fuel shortages and U.S. policy toward the communist regime. "I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places … trying to figure out how to get oil there," Jayapal said during the briefing, calling the situation on the island "a crisis beyond imagination."

Text messages released by the Senate Judiciary Committee show two former federal prosecutors discussing desires to prosecute nuns during investigations of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston, career prosecutors at the Justice Department rather than political appointees, played a role in prosecuting President Donald Trump during former President Joe Biden’s administration. Both were fired shortly after Trump became president a second time and are legal partners at Gaston & Cooney PLLC. Cooney is running for Congress in Virginia.

It's nice when something you knew was a fraud all along turns out to be a fraud, but it's even nicer when the people perpetrating the fraud admit it was a fraud all along. "The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has just published the next generation of climate scenarios," science policy analyst Roger Pielke Jr wrote late last week, and in what he called "big news," the new framework "eliminated the most extreme scenarios that have dominated climate research over much of the past several decades." So the oceans aren't about to boil off or freeze over or whatever the current scare story is? Exactly: "The IPCC and broader research community

Following the October 7th attacks in Israel in 2023, an elderly man in California was killed when an anti-Israel protester hit him in the head with a megaphone. The victim fell to the ground and hit his head. It’s a horrible story from every angle. The protester who was charged with the man’s death was just allowed to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter in exchange for a ridiculous plea deal that includes a sentence of one year in prison followed by probation.

There is something going on at the Obama household, and it looks like Trump Derangement Syndrome to me. It appears that Mr. & Mrs. Obama have the same problem that so many Democrats have, i.e. too much thinking about Trump. There is a story at The Guardian that I had to share with you today. Here it goes: Barack Obama has offered a rare and candid glimpse into his marriage - and it turns out Donald Trump is causing trouble at home. The former President, 64, admitted in an interview that Michelle wants him to step back from public life so the couple can enjoy their later years together.

Well, Seattle, like New York, has elected a real extremist as mayor. Katie Wilson, a despicable woman who looks as though she could be Abigail Spanberger’s sister, and as though she uses a broom for transportation, has decided to singlehandedly drive Seattle deeper into liberal hell than it already is. Like Spanberger, Wilson is tough to look at. True, neither is physically attractive, but the major reason for that is the smug, nauseating arrogance that they reek of. Both have stomach-turning smirks that cement their place in the despicable hall of fame.

Barack Obama appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday night and had the audacity — the actual audacity — to lecture America about presidents misusing the Justice Department. And he did it with a straight face. Obama told Colbert that presidents shouldn't be able to weaponize the DOJ against their enemies. "The White House shouldn't be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever," Obama said. "The idea is that the attorney general is the people's lawyer. It's not the president's consigliere." Just let that sit for a second. The man who appointed Eric Holder as attorney general — the same Eric Holder who publicly called himself
