Inside The Plan To Build A New American Internet
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 6/28/2026 9:49:48 AM
A new proposal to build a domestic internet could strengthen U.S. cybersecurity as the digital world sinks its fingers into every aspect of American life. InfraCo, a 501(c)4 nonprofit, has a meeting with the Department of Transportation next week to propose the $125 billion President Donald J. Trump Digital Security and Information Superhighway Act, which would lay the groundwork for the creation of a publicly owned domestic fiber-optic internet system. InfraCo is calling this system the National Broadband Master Plan, and it could harden U.S. digital infrastructure to be more resistant to foreign cyberattacks. “We’ve got basically everything connected to the public internet, right?”

Monday’s bombshell Supreme Court ruling established that “election day” isn’t really election day at all; it’s a period of time. Specifically, the court decided 5-4 in Watson v. RNC that states could count mail-in ballots even if they were received after the election date, as long as they were postmarked in time. Naturally, many conservatives, including President Trump, were deeply disappointed by the decision, which to many seemed to defy common sense and the notion of election integrity. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and his ilk were almost certainly cheering; after all, they still haven’t certified the governor’s primary, which was held on June 2.
A clown show.
Expert stock picker Nancy Pelosi revealed her post-Congress retirement plan Monday.
The 86-year-old Pelosi has spent 40 years in Congress, building an incredible stock portfolio while leading the Democratic Party, and will finally retire in January. Her next project will be a fake “bipartisan” academic center at the University of California, Berkeley, aptly named the Nancy Pelosi Institute, where students and future civic “leaders” will be brainwashed beginning in January 2027. “I think all of us in public service who have an opportunity to do so want to use our experience to train leaders for the future,”

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up President Trump’s appeal of the $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict that followed a lawsuit by former advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.
Now Trump will have no choice but to pony up the $5 million to the 82-year-old, who has repeatedly claimed that the president sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room during the mid-1990s.
Trump’s lawyers argued that, as president, he should not be distracted from his executive duties in order to deal with “decades-old, false allegations.”
The Supreme Court formally blocked President Trump’s attempt to dismiss Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook in a ruling that is likely to reassure markets of the central bank’s independence.
Trump attempted to fire Cook, a Biden appointee, on Aug. 25, 2025, via a Truth Social post, citing accusations by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte that she had committed mortgage fraud as justification.
Cook has denied wrongdoing, and independent analyses have questioned Pulte’s claims, which date from before she was appointed to the Fed board in May 2022. Cook sued to block her removal and was granted an injunction by a DC federal judge, keeping her in her position
The Supreme Court ruled Monday morning that President Donald Trump can fire bureaucrats from the executive branch.
In the 6-3 decision on Trump v. Slaughter, the court ruled that “The FTC’s for-cause removal provision is contrary to the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution.”
The ruling states that officers in the executive branch, who “derive their offices from [the president’s] appointment,” must “remain accountable to the President,” meaning “those officers must be removable by the President.”
Trump removed Rebecca Slaughter, a former aide to Democratic New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, from
The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled that state laws allowing for the counting of mail-in ballots after election day are not in violation of federal law, a blow to the Republican National Committee and President Donald Trump’s administration.
On Monday, SCOTUS issued a 5-4 ruling that permits states to count mail-in ballots — sent on or before election day — that are received by state election officials after election day.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority’s opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts as well as Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
The United Kingdom, like the U.S. and other Western countries, issues visas to those workers who have special skills deemed vital to the national economy. But it turns out that in the U.K., the Home Office has a most peculiar and expansive definition of the categories of people eligible for such visas. More on the latest travesty can be found here.
A total of 159 kebab shops across Britain have been granted Home Office licenses allowing them to sponsor overseas workers under the skilled worker visa scheme.
The licenses enable businesses to recruit workers from abroad, with sponsored employees often able to bring family members with them to the UK….

retailers like Walmart — and sparking
‘surveillance’ fears 11 replies
The growing use of digital price tags at Walmart and other big US retailers is stirring fresh anxiety that prices on groceries and other basic goods could be subjected to high-tech manipulation — and labor unions are looking to capitalize on the fears.
Walmart said it is rapidly installing the tags — which can raise or lower the prices displayed on their tiny LED screens en masse with the click of a button — in all of its 4,600 US stores by the end of the year. The idea, Walmart says, is to free staffers from the decades-old, time-consuming task of switching out paper tags slotted on shelves.
As the Trump administration and Vice President JD Vance intensify efforts to crack down on wasteful federal spending, one of the federal government’s largest green-energy projects has largely escaped serious scrutiny: the U.S. Postal Service’s nearly $10 billion electric vehicle modernization effort.
The “greening” of the USPS fleet was central to former President Joe Biden’s climate agenda and the Inflation Reduction Act, which directed billions toward replacing aging mail trucks with a new generation of electric delivery vehicles. But years into the effort, inspectors general, lawmakers, and outside analysts are raising concerns over delays, unused vehicles, infrastructure failures, and mounting financial pressure
The Biden administration’s special envoy for "LGBTQI+ Persons," gender activist Jessica Stern, had a mandate to put gay and transgender issues at the forefront of American foreign policy, according to internal emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The trove of emails reveals just how far the Democrats went to impose fringe views about gender and sexuality on American diplomats and allied countries across the globe.
The internal emails, along with records of speeches and conference calls, span Stern’s tenure as the second ever "U.S. Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Persons." They document how Stern performed
Democrats are not simply furious at the Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Trump administration on removing temporary protected status for Haitians and Syrians because this cuts cheap foreign labor and is a win for law and order over mass migration. It’s also because Democrats specifically weaponize mass migration to change the demographics of red states. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) pointed out a key part of Democrats' fury over the SCOTUS ruling against Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians, both of which were granted by the U.S. government more than a decade ago in response to past crises. There are hundreds of thousands of Haitians alone living
Americans already pay plenty to own a car. They pay sales taxes when they buy one. They pay gas taxes every time they fill up. They pay tolls, insurance premiums, registration fees, inspection fees, and in many states, yearly property taxes simply for the privilege of owning a vehicle.
Now Congress wants to add another bill to the pile: a new federal annual vehicle registration fee.
Some in Congress are calling it an “EV fee” aimed at electric and hybrid vehicles. Americans should not assume it will stop there. We have seen this movie before.
In 1997, Virginians revolted against one of America’s most despised taxes: the local personal property tax on cars.

- .WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) announced that he will introduce legislation to increase the federal minimum wage to $25 an hour. If the legislation passes, it would be the first change to the federal rate since 2009. The Living Wage For All Act would require large corporate employers to implement a $25 wage floor by 2032, while other businesses would have until 2039 to do so. The bill would mandate automatic, continued increases of the federal minimum wage to two-thirds of the national median wage. “There is nowhere in America where a worker with just one dependent can
President Trump on Saturday threatened to wipe Iran off the face of the Earth after US forces launched strikes against the country for its violations of the 60-day memorandum of understanding and ceasefire.
“It is very possible that they will never learn!” Trump said, noting that Iranian missile, drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites were hit by US aircraft.
“There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started,” he continued. “If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!”

Watch the reaction to the primaries in New York last week and you will hear a word that would have ended a campaign a generation ago: socialism. Candidates now say it with pride. Commentators warn, accurately, that the platform beneath it, abolishing borders, defunding the police, seizing private property, is something far more radical than the politics most of the public grew up with.
Here is the question almost no one is asking: where did these ideas come from? They did not appear overnight on a ballot. They were taught. For two decades, they were cultivated, rewarded, and treated as obvious in American classrooms, first in our universities and then

against July 4 flags that could harm endangered birds 20 replies
Residents of a Massachusetts coastal town say that they were warned that flying flags on their own property could violate endangered species laws, sparking outrage in the community just days before the nation’s 250th anniversary.
Plum Island homeowners recently received a notice from the Town of Newbury warning that it had “become aware of the use of devices and materials intended to deter” protected shorebirds from using local beach and dune systems.
The letter listed “mylar streamers, flags, [and] reflective materials” as examples of such devices. The letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, goes on to caution that “activities intended to deter protected shorebirds from utilizing suitable habitat may be viewed as
Just as his party is overrun by communist revolutionaries, Barack Obama has decided to take center stage in a frenetic public relations campaign, ostensibly to promote his so-called library.
He’s here, there and everywhere, silkily opining about everything under the sun, except the only thing that matters: the disintegration of his party. Like Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned, Obama is curiously detached from the disaster he helped create.
Democrats desperately need a leader to rally around, but all they have is Obama.
He is the only former Democratic president who is still sharp, charismatic and dynamic enough to take up the mantle.
Europe's Boiling Frogs
18 replies
We all know the myth – to boil frogs, slowly increase the temperature so they won’t realize it until it’s too late to jump out of the pot and save themselves. This summer, it appears the frogs are starting to feel the heat. Along with the anger at open borders, this may finally presage the end of the green nonsense and the politicians who are destroying their countries by promoting this hogswallop.
Like clockwork, it gets hot in summer in western Europe. And like clockwork, the morons in the European ministries and media blame climate change for their own failure to face reality and make proper provisions for adapting to it.
Billionaire Democratic kingmaker George Soros and his son Alex spent a staggering $102.8 million in the midterm election cycle — making the family chief architects of the party’s seismic shift toward the radical left.
With the November elections still more than four months away, George Soros could shatter his own spending record of $128 million set during the last midterms four years ago, when he was the biggest single donor.
“Money talks, and Soros money says the most insidious, unconstitutional, costly tax hikes in American history are on the table,” said Douglas Kellogg, state projects director for Americans for Tax Reform.

after weekend of military skirmishes,
resume talks in Qatar 16 replies
The United States and Iran will reportedly "stand down for now” after a weekend of military skirmishes in the Strait of Hormuz, and both sides will try to reboot peace talks in Qatar this week.
Officials told multiple news outlets, including Axios, CNN and Fox News, that there was an easing of tensions after several days of exchanging fire near the Strait.
“Technical talks are slated to continue on all areas of the MOU. Both sides will stand down for now and vessels can move freely," the White House told Fox News.
Axios reported that the two sides will resume talks in Doha on Tuesday.
After the candidates he backed swept their democratic congressional primaries, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said his democratic socialist message can win nationally. "I think a democratic socialist can get elected anywhere across this country for any position," Mamdani told ABC News' "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl in an exclusive interview that aired Sunday. (Snip) Pressed by Karl on whether he plans to use his political capital in races outside of New York ahead of the midterms, Mamdani said while he's focused for now on the candidates he endorsed, the issues that resonated in New York are felt across
Obamacare is expensive, unconstitutional, socialist, and bloated. It is also — surprise, surprise — riddled with fraud.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz revealed the stunning number of Obamacare users who never provided a Social Security number, raising serious questions about the scope of fraud in the government healthcare insurance program. In a Saturday video, Kennedy and Oz updated the American people on efforts to uncover and root out fraud. The HHS secretary began, "The Obamacare marketplace is plagued by fraud, in large part because the Biden administration dismantled basic program integrity guardrails.
