On May 25, 2025, the New York Times published a piece by Erica Green, who “covers the White House and reported from Washington,” titled “For Trump, Civil Rights Protections Should Help White Men,” with the subtitle “Administration officials pick and choose which civil rights protections they want to enforce, and for whom.” My head nearly exploded reading this thing.
The featured photograph at the top of the article, showing President Trump walking towards Marine One, has the following caption: "President Trump has turned to civil rights protections in recent weeks to remedy what he sees as the disenfranchisement of white men."
Yeah, and?

Elon Musk has begun the process of stepping down from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Musk has served as the public face of DOGE since President Trump took office in January. In the months since, DOGE has torn through bloated federal agencies like a wrecking ball, targeting waste, corruption, and bureaucratic rot with unapologetic precision, much to the chagrin of the DemocratsIn a post on X Wednesday night, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO announced that his time as a special government employee is nearing its conclusion. Naturally, the media, which has been trying to drive a wedge between Musk and Trump for months,

We got good news from Office of Management and Budget (OMB) head Russ Vought on Wednesday when he announced on Fox Business that the first bill codifying DOGE cuts would be coming next week.
The first bill will include foreign aid, USAID, and NPR, among other items. How much it will encompass in terms of money is not yet clear but those subjects could cover a lot.
That sounds like a good start. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he was eager and ready to act on the bill so they could deliver even more cuts for the American people.But there's more coming because they're still working and finding wasteful spending,

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz pledged Wednesday to help Ukraine develop its own long-range missile systems that would be free of any Western-imposed limitations on their use and targets as the Kyiv government fights to repel Russia’s invasion.
Some of the advanced weapon systems that allies have supplied to Ukraine during the 3-year war were subject to range and target restrictions — a fraught political issue stemming from fears that if the weapons struck deep inside Russia, the Kremlin might retaliate against the country that provided them and draw NATO into Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II.

Leaving aside that Scott Pelley probably spoiled graduation day for some Wake Forest University parents and students, his anti-Trump commencement screed last week still has its virtues.
Namely, Pelley’s outrageous fearmongering throws open the window to the mindset of a media figure at one of the nation’s supposedly premier outlets.
The view we get is so appalling as to be stomach-churning. It turns out that the man from CBS is full of BS. But we already knew that, didn’t we? The surprise is that he outed himself in such a revealing and public spectacle.

A former Los Angeles deputy mayor — tasked with overseeing public safety — has agreed to plead guilty to faking an anti-Israel bomb threat on city hall last year.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced the forthcoming plea this week after Brian K. Williams, 61, was charged with a single felony count of making an explosives threat, which could carry a ten-year prison term. Prosecutors say Williams sent a text message to Mayor Karen Bass and other high-ranking city officials on October 3, 2024, that he just received a call from someone who threatened to bomb City Hall, writing “it might be in the rotunda.”

Last week, Donald Trump and Secretary of State (and acting National Security Advisor) Marco Rubio made some drastic cuts to the National Security Council (“NSC”). Naturally, the leftists are outraged—how dare he fire the people Democrats and the Deep State put in place?—but this is exactly what presidents have long done, and that they have a complete right to do.
The NSC was created via the National Security Act of 1947. The Act’s purpose was to enhance America’s defenses by eliminating the silos that had hindered the efficient exchange of information between different branches of the military and the government during World War II.

A Manhattan prosecutor recruited her pals in the DA’s office to rig a criminal case against her estranged New York Times scribe hubby as part of a nasty custody battle — and got the NYPD in on it, a scathing federal lawsuit claims.
Assistant District Attorney Amanda Goun conspired to have her husband, health-care reporter Joseph Goldstein, busted on trumped-up assault and child-abuse charges in 2022 to win custody of their two young children — and even coached the kids to lie about their dad’s reputed abuse, alleges the Manhattan federal complaint reviewed by The Post.

Far from helping to end the war in Ukraine, all the indications suggest that US President Donald Trump's mediation efforts are not only prolonging the conflict, but increasing the likelihood that Russia will ultimately emerge victorious.
Indeed, far from showing any interest in ending Russia's military offensive in Ukraine, the Russian leader has given every intention that he intends to continue fighting until victory has been achieved.
Nor does there appear to be any serious prospect that Trump will be willing to hit the Kremlin with further sanctions, let alone military encouragement, if it fails to show any serious interest in peace negotiations.

Russia and Ukraine swapped hundreds more prisoners on Sunday, the Russian defense ministry said, the third part of a major swap that was a moment of cooperation in otherwise failed efforts to reach a ceasefire.
The ministry said each side brought home 303 more soldiers, after each released a total of 307 combatants and civilians on Saturday, and 390 on Friday. The swap was the largest in more than three years of war. The announcement came hours after a massive Russian drone-and-missile attack targeted the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and other regions in the country for a second consecutive night, killing at least 12 people and injuring dozens, officials said early Sunday.

The judge in Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s claimed that “defund the police” “idiots” made it difficult to carry out the trial — but insists he gave the man convicted of killing George Floyd a fair shake.
In his first interview since the high-profile trial, retired Judge Peter Cahill, 66, gave insight into his attempts to manage the media circus and specifically called out the Minneapolis city council for making the situation worse through toxic politics, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
“It did not help that people were saying ‘defund the police’ — all these idiots on the Minneapolis City Council,” Cahill told the outlet.

Mayor Eric Adams has seen a significant surge in campaign fundraising, but ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and socialist Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani head into the final stretch of the Democratic primary boasting the biggest war chests with millions in hand, records show.
Adams, a Democrat skipping the mayoral primary and running as an independent in November, is showing signs of life after his campaign barely had a pulse earlier this year with just a skeleton crew as top allies abandoned Hizzoner to help Cuomo.
Adams pocketed 192 donations totaling $155,134 during the most recent filing period of March 14 through May 19 – including 51 donors who gave $2,100,
