Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban not only represents a friendly European voice to the objectives of the Trump administration, but also Orban is a close personal friend of President Trump both in and out of office. Trump and Orban have long held a very close relationship, including friendship with the family of First Lady Melania Trump. They are all very close – Shinzo Abe-type close – both from the White House and time in Mar-a-Lago. On November 7, 2025, Prime Minister Viktor Orban again visited President Trump in the White House, including dinner with the Trump cabinet. Then, word of the Ukraine corruption scandal broke.

President Donald Trump on Saturday declared himself the "affordability president" for making historic deals with drug makers to lower prescription prices as he implored Republicans to make a better case for how much prices are easing in America ahead of next year's mid-term elections. "Because I have invoked favored nations status or the United States of America, drug prices are falling at rates never seen before: 500%, 600%, 700% and more," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

An Afghan national was arrested this week after he claimed he was building a bomb and intended to target a building in Fort Worth, Texas, authorities said. Mohammad Dawood Alokozay was apprehended Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security after posting a video to his TikTok profile with the alleged threat. He is being charged at the state level. He was arrested a day before Rahmandullah Lakanwal, 29, also an Afghan national who came to the US as part of Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome, shot two National Guard troops in Washington, DC, on Nov. 26.

In the latest episode of "China is not a close friend of the United States," on Sunday, we learned that a Chinese state-sponsored cyberattack may have affected many, perhaps most Americans, from President Trump right down to regular folks across the fruited plain. This was audacious; it was carefully planned and executed, and it may still be ongoing. A former FBI official claims that it's likely every American has been impacted by a Chinese-state-sponsored cyberattack. International law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and National Security Agency, issued a joint advisory in September warning the public that CCP-sponsored actors are "targeting" many aspects of American lives,

The White House debuted a new page on its website Friday aimed at lambasting media outlets over “fake news” coverage of Trump administration actions. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the new website with a Friday post on X. “The Trump @WhiteHouse is holding the Fake News accountable like never before,” she said. The website, at the time of publication, lists CBS News, The Boston Globe, and The Independent as the “Offenders of the Week” for their supposedly biased coverage of Trump calling out a video by the “Seditious Six” congressional Democrats who apparently sought to undermine the military’s chain of command if so-called “illegal” orders were issued.

You may have heard Kim Kardashian is trying to pass the bar exam in California. For what purposes, I really do not know. It’s not as if she’s suddenly going to go start practicing law when she’s already worth millions upon millions of dollars.

A prominent global research center has released a comprehensive report on what it says is a multi-generational campaign by the Muslim Brotherhood to “transform Western society from within” and covertly infiltrate the United States. The Brotherhood is fifty years into their 100-year plan to take over the United States. The 200-page report, released by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy on Wednesday, draws from internal Brotherhood documents, such as the “1982 Project” and “1991 Explanatory Memorandum” and makes the case that Western freedoms have been systematically leveraged to advance Islamist ideological goals as the group continues its five-decade plan to embed itself in the United States.

Two years ago, Pfizer anticipated that sales of its rebound-prone Covid-19 antiviral Paxlovid and fully approved Covid vaccine Comirnaty would plummet, but good news appeared on the horizon: The drugmaker's mRNA flu vaccine did well in phase 3 trials in ages 18-64, and Pfizer expected to release results from the 65-and-up cohort "later this year." The results are finally in: Compared to a standard flu shot, the mRNA vaccine was associated with six times as many adverse reactions as infections prevented in adults under 65, and outright failed in elderly people, associated with more deaths and both minor and serious injuries, from injection-site swelling to kidney problems.

Calls to dismantle the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) intensified this week following a terror ambush in Washington, DC, which resulted in the death of one National Guard soldier and left another critically wounded. The attack was reportedly carried out by an Afghan national who once served in a paramilitary unit supported by the CIA, as The Dallas Express previously reported. The renewed push to shut down the CIA has been led most prominently by former senior intelligence officials and high-profile national security figures allied with President Donald Trump. Gary Berntsen, a former CIA operations officer who spent 24 years in the agency,

The Afghan man accused of gunning down two National Guard members blocks from the White House last week had been unraveling for years, unable to hold a job and flipping between long, lightless stretches of isolation and taking sudden weeks-long cross-country drives. His behavior deteriorated so sharply that a community advocate reached out to a refugee organization for help, fearing he was becoming suicidal. Emails obtained by The Associated Press reveal mounting warnings about the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an asylum seeker whose erratic conduct raised alarms long before the attack that jolted the nation’s capital on the eve of Thanksgiving.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek (D) threatened to investigate and prosecute federal agents who enforce the United States’ immigration laws in the state of Oregon. In a video on Instagram, Kotek accused the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of carrying out “violent actions” and “stoking fear in the name of immigration enforcement.” Kotek also said the state would “investigate misconduct” and hold federal officers accountable. “I believe as you do, in the rule of law and keeping our community safe,” Kotek said. “We also believe in being a welcoming place, where our immigrant and refugee community help our state thrive. The ongoing violent actions of the federal Department of Homeland Security are unacceptable

You have to admit it: It’s certainly one way to spice up Disneyland’s “Gay Day” that doesn’t involve an obscene leather harness. According to People Magazine, a conservative group planning a “MAGA invasion” of the SoCal theme park didn’t mean for it to coincide with a “pride” event at the House of Mouse. But organizers say it’s “even more fun this way.” The event is planned for Feb. 28, 2026. It was organized by 805 Patriots, which specified that dress code was a group T-shirt along with “a red MAGA hat” in a post on social media. Well, as it turns out, this is also the same day that

Four people were killed and 10 were wounded in a mass shooting in Stockton, California, Saturday evening, according to officials. Deputies responded shortly before 6 p.m. to a report of a shooting near the 1900 block of Lucile Avenue. The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office said at a news conference that children and adults were shot. Early indications "suggest this may have been a targeted incident," a spokesperson for the sheriff's office said.

The president warned everyone to avoid the airspace over or alongside Venezuela this week. “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.” We have positioned a serious armada on that country’s shore. Among the explanations for these moves the most plausible I can find is Jeff Childers', who once again documents his views with credible links. The Caribbean communist country is practically daring us to do something about it. “China has poured millions into Venezuelan oil projects and loans,” the Guardian explained. Literally poured. That’s how much money China has. Meanwhile, the paper continued, “Russia has armed Venezuelan

A highly revered New York City firefighter, who rushed to the World Trade Center after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks — where his hero son perished — and then spent months aiding with recovery efforts, died on Thanksgiving Day. Retired Deputy Chief James “Jim” Riches Sr., who served in the department for 30 years, died at 74 on Thursday from a 9/11-related illness resulting from the tragedy in Lower Manhattan, the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York posted on social media. “Throughout his distinguished career, Deputy Chief Riches exemplified the highest traditions of our department,” the nonprofit advocacy organization wrote.

In late October, President Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung held a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, to discuss trade, security cooperation, and technology, ahead of POTUS’s highly anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made a stop in South Korea in November as part of his Asia tour. He visited the Demilitarized Zone and met with South Korean officials to talk about ways to strengthen and adapt the Republic of Korea (ROK)-U.S. alliance to today’s challenges. I’ve been covering the ROK’s leftist Lee administration for some time now.

The fallout from the 2020 COVID-19 debacle is still raining down. In the latest episode, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now found evidence linking the coronavirus vaccines to as many as 10 child deaths, and the federal agency is responding by ramping up new vaccine approval regulations. At least part of this was done at the urging of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. We should note that at least part of the new approach is not just on how vaccines are delivered, but how they are developed.

As we reported, The New York Times put out a story that claimed President Donald Trump was showing signs of "fatigue," claiming there was a change in the number of events that he was holding/attending compared to the first year of his first term, and Americans were seeing him "less than they used to." This is utter bunk, as he seems to have been continuously working since he hit the ground in his second term, and is constantly available and responding to the press. If anything, he's too available, because he wants to get his points out to the American people;

The Covid Inquiry’s headline figure that an earlier lockdown (March 16th 2020) “would have” resulted in approximately 23,000 fewer deaths in England derives from a counterfactual simulation performed by Professor Ferguson’s Imperial College modelling group, who reported a 48% reduction in first-wave mortality when comparing a March 16th intervention to the actual March 23rd lockdown. But a close reading of the inquiry’s own evidence shows that this modelling claim has the same structural vulnerabilities that produced some of the worst modelling failures in recent medical history.

It wasn't a surprise when we learned about the latest testimony release from the House Oversight Committee; it felt more like the confirmation of what Americans had long sensed.Working inside the White House, staff understood that the man they placed before the camera couldn't lead the country, yet they said so privately while publicly denying it. Writing at our sister site, Twitchy, Doug P. shared the testimony.The staff knew the presidency had become nothing more than a managed performance: They moved him, dressed him, staged him, guided him, and fed him lines.

As we reported, a judge tossed the case against former FBI Director James Comey for technical reasons, ruling the appointment of the interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, who had filed the matter, was invalid. So it wasn't a ruling on the merits of the case, and it was dismissed without prejudice, so it could potentially be filed again, although there's a potential question about the statute of limitations.The Justice Department (DOJ) has already indicated that it would appeal that decision. So I don't think Comey should be taking that victory lap just yet, because it surely sounds like more is coming.

On Friday, President Donald Trump offered yet another devastating characterization of one of the Democrats’ legion of America-Last, far-left politicians. All of Trump’s rhetorical cylinders were firing as he gave us this: The “swaddling hijab” business is a nice little nod to the Christmas season, and while this is Trump at his most acidic, there is no denying any of it. In fact, Ilhan Omar herself has made it clear more than once that she has little but contempt for the land that welcomed her and her family and gave them refuge from her violent, anarchic, war-torn homeland.

After President Donald Trump announced a pause on immigration from Third-World countries and particularly Afghanistan, leftists blew their tops. But Trump has the law on his side.Trump’s White House fired back at critics not with a lengthy diatribe, but by simply quoting from the Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 212(f). This explicitly allows the president of the United States to suspend entrance of a group of aliens deemed dangerous to national security and national interests. The section above-mentioned, and posted on X by the White House, says:

President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to take on Obamacare; good for him — but any lasting solution to this ongoing disaster will require major surgery. In the decade since it really got going, the Affordable Care Act has only made health care more expensive, even as it hid the soaring costs from most consumers — who’ve still had to deal with ever-narrower freedom of choice. It seems the White House has realized what a monster it faces; after news outlets reported some of the ideas under consideration, Team Trump put off announcing anything as it apparently takes another look under the hood.

Brad Lander won’t be New York City comptroller much longer — and that’s good news for Gotham’s rank and file. It’s not just because Lander is a knee-jerk leftist who rivals Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani when it comes to his out-of-touch patter on economic policy. He’s also a dullard seemingly unaware of the core function of the job he’s held for the last four years. Lander, as the city’s chief fiscal officer, is the fiduciary, investment adviser and custodian of the city’s $300 billion pension fund system. He’s supposed to make sure the funds are invested in securities that grow in value so they can “fully fund” the retirement accounts of all the city’s police,

More than 5,000 Afghans brought to the US after American forces withdrew from the country got flagged for “national security” issues, Department of Homeland Security data obtained by The Post reveals. In all, the feds uncovered “potential derogatory information” on a total of 6,868 people who came from Afghanistan as part of President Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome in 2021. Of that number, 5,005 came up with a national security concern, while 956 people had “public safety” concerns and 876 were flagged for fraud, according to the data.DHS provided the information to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee,

The left has gone way off the rails with their anti-ICE actions. Even after attacks on ICE facilities that have left people dead, you still have radical anti-ICE crews wreaking havoc in places like New York City, trying to stop ICE from carrying out its mission. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made it clear: the radicals aren't going to stop them. Apparently, the radicals heard that the federal agents might be conducting another operation on Canal Street, an area ICE has hit in the past. So about 150 people tried to block agents from getting out of a garage of a federal building,

This past week, President Donald J. Trump did something no other president has done in American history: he placed back-to-back calls with the leader of Communist China, General Secretary Xi Jinping, and then with Japan’s Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae. The President’s decision to make these calls on November 24 enhanced America’s national security by bringing Japan, our treaty ally, front and center into U.S.–China relations amidst increasing regional security concerns over Beijing’s potential invasion of Taiwan. The unprecedented nature and the importance of President Trump’s calls are best understood in the historical context of what is characterized by the “China Hands” as The Relationship.

While there is much to agree with in the final report of the review of the English national curriculum, titled ‘Building a world-class curriculum for all’, there is also much of concern. Descriptions like “crucial knowledge”, “critical knowledge” and “knowledge-rich”, while clichéd, represent a welcome focus on content instead of vacuous inquiry-based, process and child-centred learning. The report is correct when it argues, “In a world of rapid technological, environmental and social change, subject-specific knowledge remains the best investment.” Similarly, the report’s suggestion that skills and capabilities “arise from and are situated within, a knowledge-rich Curriculum” is welcomed as cognitive research has long proven this is the most effective way to learn.
