The European Commission, described as the “executive arm” of the European Union, is trying to force X CEO Elon Musk to censor presidential candidate Donald Trump on an American platform. Musk announced on Sunday that he and Trump are set to host a “live conversation” on X, marking Trump’s return to the platform. But a letter from Thierry Breton of the European Commission issued a threat on Monday to Musk over the “amplification of harmful content.” The letter claims Musk, who owns a U.S.-based company, is obligated to adhere to EU law meant to govern European politics

The arrogance of European bureaucrats is stunning. Perhaps we should remind them that if we had not helped them in the 40’s they would be speaking German.

If they get their knickers in a twist again, they'd best look for another country to bail them out. My dad was sent over there during WWII. He said there was nothing left of London. Hitler just about won. But thousands of American men fought and died to free them and end the war. Won't happen again so they'd best pay attention to what's going on in their own back yard.

Last week we found out that Kellyanne Conway, a rather disingenuous woman with deep professional republican bona fides, had registered under FARA laws so that she could lobby the US Government on behalf of Ukraine. Essentially, Kellyanne Conway is a Ukraine lobbyist. The MSM tried to push a story that people around President Trump were positioning Conway for a more substantive role in the Trump campaign. However, President Trump put a stop to that false narrative by telling everyone there was ZERO truth to such a claim.

Nearly a week ago, we ran a bombshell piece based on the DHS’ Office of Inspector General (OIG) Report that turned out to confirm numerous aspects of our ground-breaking coverage on the January 6 pipe bomb hoax, including new information indicating that Kamala Harris’ own Secret Service detail at the very least participated in a cover-up of this hoax. Likely on account of its utterly damning and inconvenient contents, the OIG report had been assiduously suppressed at the orders of the highly corrupt and political DHS head, Alexander Mayorkas, of open borders fame. In fact, at the time that we published our own expose based on this report,

Montgomery County Pennsylvania man has been charged with election fraud — one man, multiple votes — but local media wants you to know election fraud is really rare. Philip C. Pulley of Huntington Valley, was charged with falsely registering to vote, double voting, and election fraud. United States Attorney Jacqueline Romero announced the charges on Friday. The Department of Justice (DOJ) accuses Pulley of registering to vote in three counties: Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania, and Broward County in Florida, using a false home address, and a false Social Security number. Pulley, 62, is accused of requesting a mail-in ballot to vote in Philadelphia County in the 2020 general election, while also

A Christian group in Washington state has shown it’s being injured by a state bias law, a federal appeals court ruled on Aug. 12, reversing a lower court decision and reviving the group’s case against state officials. The Union Gospel Mission of Yakima, Washington, sued over the Washington Law Against Discrimination, which bars employers from discriminating based on sexual orientation. The group said the law is unconstitutional and that it is being affected by the law because it distributes a form for employees to sign that agrees to adherence to a Christian lifestyle and beliefs, including only engaging in sexual conduct in a marriage between a man and a woman.

The selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as the running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris has led to intense debates over crime policy, war claims, gender identity policies and other issues. Some attacks have, in my view, been inaccurate or overwrought. However, the greatest danger from this ticket is neither speculative nor sensational. A Harris-Walz administration would be a nightmare for free speech. For over three years, the Biden-Harris administration has sustained an unrelenting attack on the freedom of speech, from supporting a massive censorship system (described by a federal court as an “Orwellian Ministry of Truth“) to funding blacklisting operations targeting groups and individuals with opposing views.

Not a day goes by when at least one of the pundits at the network does not label someone a "racist" – even if they are not actually a racist. Yet, last week, one of MSNBC's own went on another overtly racist rant against white people. Primetime host Joy Reid thanked Kamala Harris for not picking Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly as her running mate because, unlike Tim Walz, Kelly is "super white." Err, not just "super white. According to Reid, Sen. Kelly is "like a mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread white."

In a stunning display of hypocrisy and double standards, CBS News attacked former President Donald Trump when he announced his “no tax on tips” policy proposal in June and then suddenly became uncritical of the idea when Vice President Kamala Harris copied Trump on Saturday. “Vice President Kamala Harris is rolling out a new policy position, saying she’ll fight to end taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” CBS announced in a Monday X post. However, when Trump first announced the policy proposal in June, CBS adopted a strikingly different tone. “Former President Donald Trump’s vow to stop taxing tips would cost the federal government up to $250 billion

The strategy harnesses the ambiguous nature of the media’s oftentimes pro-Harris coverage with actual Harris campaign advertising. The Harris campaign edits the ads that “make it appear as if the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News and other major publishers are on her side,” Axios reported. “It’s a common practice in the commercial advertising world that doesn’t violate Google’s policies, but the ads mimic real news results from Search closely enough that they have news outlets caught off guard.” “According to Google’s ad transparency center,

Then he joined Congress and worked to pass a new GI bill that helped fund the college educations of millions of veterans—among them, JD Vance,” Clinton posted on X on Monday.

With Kamala Harris becoming a rock star by inviting rock stars to open her act, it’s clear she’s focused on generating excitement through pure fluff. But whereas Harris captures headlines with showmanship, Donald Trump has an opportunity to resonate deeply with a far more substantial and often overlooked voting bloc: those who have paid into the Social Security system. If Trump zeroes in on this group, he can unlock a political goldmine that could propel him back into the White House. In what even the New York Times admits could be a game-changer, Trump has proposed ending income taxes on Social Security benefits.

Musk called for the commission during his more than two-hour conversation with Trump on Monday night. Trump was very receptive to the idea. The relevant conversation begins around the 1:44:00 mark: (X Video) “I think it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that takes a look at these things and just ensures that the taxpayer money, the taxpayers’ hard-earned money, is spent in a good way,” Musk told Trump.
