Against ‘Extreme, Anti-American’ Candidates

Original Article

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said that “I would never pretend to say anything good about any of this new crop of people that are coming into the Congress.” And Democratic leadership needs to “police our own ranks right now and say, look, this is not a big tent kind of situation. These are people that have intensely extreme, anti-American kinds of views.” Fetterman said, “I don’t know why we have other Democrats — even people that are calling for their jobs in leadership, saying, you’re next, you’re next —

I can remember when the Democratic party was resolutely anti-communist.

I couldn't help but notice that Fetterman recently spoke about what it would take to get him to leave the Dem party. In the past, he said it would never happen. Perhaps, unlike his colleagues, he can read the writing on the wall.

Are we sure it is constitutional to seat "commies" or "socialists" in congress? I mean if we voted to send a 5 year old to congress I do not think it would be allowed.

We reported earlier on how the hotly contested Senate race between Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and her Democrat opponent, Bernie Sanders-backed Graham Platner, had tightened up significantly in recent weeks, with fresh polling numbers out on Thursday showing Collins taking a three-point lead over Platner for the first time. Another poll released this week, which had Platner up by two, also contained some big warning signs for his campaign, indicating his extensive baggage is starting to catch up with him to the point that it has cost him support - even among voters who say Democrats winning back the Senate is a top priority.

The weather might not be the only thing heating up this week. As America heads into Independence Day and the nation's 250th birthday, the country has plenty to celebrate. The United States, alongside Canada and Mexico, is hosting the biggest sporting event in the world, the World Cup. The U.S. Men's National Team advanced to the Round of 16 Wednesday night with a 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina and now faces Belgium in a highly anticipated rematch of their 2014 World Cup showdown. FIFA projects the tournament will generate billions of dollars in economic activity and support roughly 180,000 jobs. As Just the News reported last month,

50,187-acre wildfire in Colorado has been declared the nation's No. 1 firefighting priority. Spanning Pueblo and Custer counties, the Aspen Acres Fire is expected to cost $15 million of taxpayer's money to fight, according to an estimate from The National Interagency Fire Center. But the final cost will be determined by a wide range of factors, including which resources are used to fight the fire. “Colorado was moved to No. 1 as priorities for the entire Western United States, and the Aspen Acres fire was moved to the No. 1 priority [for the entire nation],” Mike Morgan,

As New York baked under another summer heat wave, parts of the Riverdale neighborhood in the Bronx, home to a large Jewish community, lost power after Con Edison shut off electricity to protect its equipment. Con Edison announced the outages Thursday, saying it temporarily cut power to some customers in Riverdale to reduce strain on the electrical grid and speed up service restoration. The utility directed affected residents to report outages and seek relief at city cooling centers. The outages left parts of Riverdale sweating without air conditioning during a dangerous citywide heat wave. The timing also puts intense pressure on Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Who are the so-called Democratic Socialists of America and their fellow travelers? While it is difficult to generalize, many current and would-be socialist officeholders share several common traits. Most of them represent a relatively small slice of American life. Almost all are urban, with little knowledge of small-town or rural existence. Their world is subways, buses, high-rises, Uber, taxis, and proximity to corporate, academic, and financial institutions—yet often with little understanding of where their food, fuel, water, or everyday goods originate, or where their waste and sewage ultimately go. Their worldview is shaped more by consumption than production, as though goods simply arrive in and depart from cities on autopilot.

If Georgia's 2020 presidential election was clean, a full review should prove it. If something went wrong, America needs to know that, too. The bureau has directed 260 investigative analysts and staff operations specialists from field offices across the country to help review records tied to the 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga. Each is expected to check about 708 records by July 17, and the work has been described inside the FBI as a “priority investigation.” From the Associated Press:

President Donald Trump has made fighting illegal immigration the centerpiece of his second administration, but for too many families across the country, finding justice has been elusive. Many illegal immigrants who have committed crimes have escaped justice under the Biden administration, while the families of the victims faced ineffective investigations, protracted legal cases, and, in some cases, saw the perpetrators receive light prison sentences. “These people are shown so many privileges in this country and American citizens are really considered, in my opinion, second-class citizens when it comes to crimes committed against them by illegals,”

The Trump Administration is making a big mistake by engaging in negotiations with Hamas — as well as Iran. Instead of weakening the Iran-backed terrorist group and its sponsors, these negotiations legitimize them as political actors and, for Hamas, only strengthen their standing among Palestinians; and for Iran's rulers, among countries that might have been hoping to move toward the West. Discussions have reportedly stalled over disputes concerning which weapons the terrorist group Hamas would be permitted to retain. Instead of debating whether Hamas should disarm, negotiators now appear to be debating how much of its military capability it should be allowed to keep.

In the wake of the shocking victory of several Democratic Socialist candidates in the New York City primary elections, President Donald Trump is warning that the candidates are “hardcore Godless communists” and a serious threat to the United States. He received immediate pushback, not least from CNN’s chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, who said that Democratic Socialist candidates are not communists. “While Democrats themselves have been wrestling with what Tuesday night means for the direction of their party, socialism, much less democratic socialism, is not communism,” Collins said on air earlier this week. The same Democratic Socialists of America often identify as Marxist or Communist—

He might be even deader than Moqtaba Khameini, whom the Iranians still won’t show us.

Deep blue Massachusetts Democrats are mulling a bill that would give illegal aliens the power to sue immigration agents personally for daring to arrest them for breaking immigration laws. Despite the blatant unconstitutionality of the proposal, Bay State liberals are attempting to give illegals a path to attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in their personal lives merely for doing their constitutionally approved job. The state’s Democrat-dominated legislature is currently working to reconcile the PROTECT Act, which would further hamstring state law enforcement from working with immigration officials. The bill also contains the provision to sue ICE agents personally, the Washington Examiner reports. Some cooler heads had prevailed in

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he plans to help build a third political party, claiming the country’s leaders have stopped focusing on the needs of ordinary Americans. Speaking with the Columbia Journalism Review, Carlson said he believes there should be a “good-faith effort” to create a political movement centered on improving life for Americans rather than fighting over foreign conflicts. “I’m going to help build a third party. There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country,” Carlson said. “I mean, if you make $60,000 a year, you’re degraded.

Imagine being so consumed by hatred for Donald Trump and his immigration agenda that you would hand a full pardon to a man who sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl for four years, just to keep him from being deported. You do not have to imagine it. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) actually did it. Last month, Walz pardoned Tou Lue Vang, a 42-year-old illegal immigrant convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, wiping his record clean and shielding him from deportation to Laos. It’s bad enough that the pardon erased Vang's conviction entirely, but what makes it worse is that Walz did it to rescue him from the consequences that Trump's immigration enforcement

Something is brewing inside the Democrat Party, and this time, Donald Trump has nothing to do with it. Behind closed doors, the establishment wing of the party is squaring off against a coup led by self-declared socialists, and the fight over who controls the party's future is only getting started. Fox News host Jesse Watters laid out exactly how this ends on The Five, and it should terrify anyone still clinging to the idea that the Democrat Party can hold itself together heading into the next presidential race. Asked by co-host Emily Compagno whether the country is actually being taken over, Watters didn't offer easy reassurance.

In a post on X, Moreno responded to another post from Fox News’s Bill Melugin, who shared that in 1993, Reid had introduced the Immigration Stabilization Act of 1993. Moreno also shared the Immigration Act would focus on making cuts to legal immigration limits, capping annual refugee admissions, make changes to legal immigration limits by restructuring family-based visas and setting employment-based immigrant visas to zero,”

Even though the Supreme Court has put out some disastrous duds, they’ve also handed President Trump major victories as well. They cleared the way for his team to end Temporary Protected Status for tens of thousands of Haitian migrants. What does TPS mean, exactly? Well, in short, when a foreigner is on TPS, they don’t have to work, and there’s no risk of being deported.Temporary Protected Status (TPS) does not require you to work. Instead, it gives eligible individuals the legal permission to work in the U.S. and protects them from deportation. TPS does not require you to hold a job; it simply provides the legal right to work if

Buttigieg ran to Substack to write a column about the incident. Describing himself as “bewildered and troubled,” Buttigieg said that “the CPS worker told me something that made my stomach turn: I was not to be alone around the children, at least until the interview took place the next day.” After a “sleepless night,” he says, the officers
