Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed Tuesday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating allegations that Rep. Ilhan Omar’ (D-Minn.) married her brother, presumably to help him obtain US citizenship through the fraudulent marriage. “We’re pulling the records, we’re pulling the files! We’re looking at it,” Homan told Newsmax host Rob Schmitt. “I’m running that down this week.” The allegations were first reported by Minnesota-based investigative journalist David Steinberg in PJ Media in 2018. As the story goes, about 35 years ago, eight-year-old Ilhan and her family fled war-torn Somalia to Kenya’s Dadaab refugee camps, where she lived from 1991 until 1995.

ederal appeals court sided with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Tuesday, upholding the Trump administration’s exclusion of transgenders from military service. The 2-1 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit reversed a previous injunction issued by Biden-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Ana Reyes, who had blocked the implementation of President Donald Trump’s executive order banning persons “who express a false gender identity divergent from their sex” from military service. “A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member,” the E/O stated.

In a Supreme Court term with several important cases on executive power, two stand out. Both will be decided this Spring. One is the tariffs case, argued a few weeks ago. The three liberal Justices will go against Trump, of course, because Orange Man Bad. But even the conservative Justices – especially the three appointed by Trump – appeared skeptical that the President could unilaterally impose broad tariffs. Tariffs are much like a tax. The taxing power is generally held by Congress, not the President.

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), who is running for Senate, filed articles of impeachment on Wednesday against Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying he has turned “his back on science.” Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos,” the Michigan Democrat wrote in a statement. Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for HHS, dismissed the articles of impeachment as a political ploy. “Secretary Kennedy remains focused on the work of improving Americans’ health and lowering costs, not on partisan political stunts,” Nixon said.

American actions involving Venezuela have stirred up a flurry of theories and narratives around the United States’ strategic intentions. Some theories highlight apparent contradictions between rhetoric and policy, such as President Trump’s pardons of major drug-traffickers despite his public anti-drug stance. Others frame potential U.S. military threats against Venezuela as being driven primarily by America’s dependence on oil. Additional narratives have revived allegations of Venezuelan interference in U.S. elections, including claims from a former Maduro regime official about a “narco-terrorist war” against the United States.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said President Donald Trump does not “understand what it is to be an American,” boasting of his family’s military service and saying he feels “bad” for Trump’s supporters in an interview with Jim Acosta. Speaking with the ex-CNN host during a Wednesday virtual appearance on the Jim Acosta Show, Kelly went on a rant calling Trump’s presidency a “travesty for this country.” “I don’t think Donald Trump has read the Constitution. I think he’s ignorant to it,” the left-wing senator said. “He’s ignorant to a lot. I don’t think he understands that this is the foundation of our democracy.”

Nothing bothers the European elite as much as American conservatives praising the European foundations of their shared, but threatened, Western civilization. Europeans especially resent having their social-welfare state system critiqued by upstart, crass Americans. Their pique only increases as they push back against the condescending American idea that the U.S. could possibly offer any constructive advice, much less help a more civilized Europe follow the “American model.” Americans, in turn, are worried that Europe is not just stagnating but is on a trajectory of permanent decline—with dire consequences for the entire Western world.

It took me months to understand the whole concept of "woke right," and, to be honest, I still dislike the description because it takes so long to grasp. While I basically agree with James Lindsey's arguments, it's a branding fail. Memes should be intuitive, IMHO. So what IS the woke right, and why would I put Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Andrew Tate in that category, along with others? "Woke" is not so much an ideology in itself, although it is easy to think so since it has been so long associated with leftism and Cultural Marxism. Woke is, instead, a type

This escalated quickly. I'm not sure if you all remember hearing the phrase, something like '$40M a week is still going to the Taliban.' Sounds incredible, right? Like, how could that possibly be?Well, it turns out to be entirely possible and partially true, and it all blew up this week with a report of a shipment of $45M in cold hard American greenbacks that was rumored to have been flown out to the murderous goatherders running Afghanistan. The information everyone was seeing indicated it was funds the U.S. government was sending, much like the fabled 'pallets of cash' of old. Naturally, everyone righteously lost their collective minds reading headlines like these.

One’s first impulse is to say: of course! Everything that Americans like is racist. More specifically, defrocked MSNBC host Joy Reid is alleging that the song “Jingle Bells” is racist: In the video she shared to her 1.3 million Instagram followers, a man in a Christmas sweater and Santa hat stands on the streets of Medford, Massachusetts near a plaque [that] marks the site where James Lord Pierpont is believed to have penned the song in 1850. He takes off his hat disapprovingly and scowls at the plaque, the video caption reading “this is where a racist Confederate soldier wrote ‘Jingle Bells’ to make fun of black people, and has its origins

For Christ and Country: The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk is the first book to confront the assassination of Charlie Kirk with the moral seriousness the moment demands. But it is also the first book to ask a question so explosive that no major media outlet, no politician, and no academic has dared to touch it. If a U.S. citizen like Anwar al-Awlaki could be killed in a drone strike because his propaganda inspired jihadists…why is there zero accountability for the politicians, journalists, and media figures whose propaganda inspired Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin? That question—bold, morally precise, and unavoidably logical—is the beating heart of Drew Thomas Allen’s book.

The cruelty that has been heaped on Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika, since his assassination three months ago has been unrelenting. First it was leftist ghouls cheering on his cold-blooded murder, in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at the first stop of his Turning Point USA “American Comeback Tour” outdoors on the campus of Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. The ghouls gloried in the death of the young father of two, mimicked the instant the bullet hit his throat, created T-shirts with his image and gushes of blood to celebrate the moment his voice was silenced.

A federal judge in Greenbelt, Maryland, on Thursday ordered the release of Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia from federal immigration custody in Pennsylvania — a long-awaited update in an extraordinary case that has dominated international headlines and federal court dockets for nearly 10 months. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered Abrego Garcia released from the ICE Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Philipsburg, Pa., on the grounds that the Trump administration had not obtained the final notice of removal order that is needed to deport him to a third country, including a list of African nations they had previously identified for his removal. "Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention

The top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee was lambasted, almost immediately, for referring to the shooting of two West Virginia National Guardsmen in Washington as an "unfortunate accident" during a hearing Thursday. On Thanksgiving Eve, WVNG Spc. Sarah Beckstrom of Webster County was killed and Andrew Wolfe of Berkeley County was gravely wounded allegedly by Rahmanullah Lakanwal – an Afghan refugee living in Bellingham, Washington. During the "Worldwide Threats to the Homeland" hearing, Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi pivoted to Homeland Security Kristi Noem after sparring with FBI Operations Director Michael Glasheen about the whereabouts of Antifa’s headquarters, to ask who approved Lakanwal’s vetting.

December 10, 2025 In a marked reversal in foreign policy from his first term, President Trump announced Monday that the U.S. will now allow China’s communist regime to purchase some of the most advanced American-made microchips available on the market. A growing cohort of experts and lawmakers say the move will severely undercut national security by allowing the U.S.’s biggest global adversary to use the powerful technology to develop more advanced weaponry and cyber warfare tactics.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has a college sophomore’s understanding of the Constitution. That is no exaggeration. In fact, it might understate the case. I have taught college sophomores whose knowledge of the Constitution’s basic principles far exceeds that of Jackson. During oral arguments Monday in a case involving fired Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, Jackson peddled two grotesque lies, one of which showcased her own unconstitutional doctrine regarding so-called “experts” in the federal bureaucracy.

Minnesota is on top of everyone’s mind once again for all of the wrong reasons. The Somali fraud crisis is being reported as up to $1 billion, but that is just the fraud that is being charged right now. Minnesota U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson has already said that our fraud problem breaks into the billions of dollars, and whistleblowers within the Minnesota Department of Human Services predict the fraud will reach up to $6.5 billion just in the time that Tim Walz has been in office. (snip) They pass these laws, their friends get rich, and when you call it out, you are labeled a racist. .

Rep. Glenn Grothman says the National Defense Authorization Act passed Wednesday by the House contains a little-noticed weapon to cut federal spending and bureaucracy. The Wisconsin Republican told Just The News the bill now heading to the Senate cuts up to 19% of civilian jobs inside the War Department saving an estimated $30 billion. "It appears as though the Department of Defense is going to step up, and like other departments, begin to lay off some employees who are really not necessary in today's highly technical world," Grothman said.

The Democrats have decided that “affordability” is the issue that will win the next election cycle. Are they daft? The most unaffordable states and cities in the country are Democrat strongholds. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the Democrat from New York, one of the least affordable states in the country, has told party leaders they need “to adopt a laser focus on the affordability crisis,” says Axios. Politico noted that the “Democrats are gearing up to hammer the GOP on the issue,” then quickly jumped in to help, declaring that the “Republicans have an affordability problem.” Will the Democrat strategy work? Not if voters get the facts,

An electric school bus burst into flames in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning, prompting a massive emergency response and shutting down a stretch of the 210 Freeway in Sylmar, authorities said. The fire was reported around 9:20 a.m. at 11460 W. Foothill Blvd., directly under the 210 Freeway overpass in the San Fernando Valley, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Sky5 was over the scene as heavy flames and thick black smoke poured from the fully involved bus. No children were on board at the time of the fire, officials said. The driver, whose age and gender have not been released, was transported to a local hospital for minor smoke inhalation.

Ernest Hemingway famously wrote when describing bankruptcy: It happens “gradually, then suddenly.” The same is true of dictatorships. They project an illusion of permanence—until the moment the façade shatters and decades of repression give way to rapid collapse. Nowhere is this dynamic more evident than in the Islamic Republic of Iran, a theocracy that has ruled for 46 years through corruption, brutality, and systemic mismanagement. In recent weeks, a severe water crisis has pushed Iran into international headlines. President Masoud Pezeshkian himself warned that it is very feasible that water rationing in Tehran may follow.

Democrat Maryland Governor Wes Moore is an ambitious guy. The Washington Free Beacon now does its thing giving Moore the kind of treatment the New York Times loves to give to Republicans. As always, however, the Free Beacon’s story is fairly (and, in this case, intensely) reported. Moore has been engaged in a classic case of self-help enhancing his résumé. Andrew Kerr reports “Wes Moore Won a Key White House Post Claiming He Was ‘Touted as a Foremost Expert’ on Radical Islam and Was Studying for an Oxford PhD—But His Thesis Is ‘Missing’ and There’s No Evidence He Was Ever a Doctoral Student”

One of America’s major national security threats is the cozy relationship between many American corporations and the Chinese government. Microsoft is one of the worst offenders in this regard, as proven by a new report released last week. It adds to the growing evidence that the tech giant is far too close with America’s chief geopolitical foe to be trusted with handling critical infrastructure. The report, compiled by Nathan Picarsic of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Horizon Advisory, reveals a disturbing picture about the tech giant. “Over three decades, the company has built a vast commercial, research, and engineering presence in China,

Minnesota is now facing one of the largest documented government service fraud scandals in United States history. Under Gov. Tim Walz's evidently unwatchful eye, federal prosecutors have estimated that approximately $1 billion in taxpayer funds have been siphoned from multiple state- and federally funded social service programs over the last five years. As of this writing, 87 individuals have been charged in connection with the scheme, with 61 convictions already secured and more charges continuing to be filed against these fraudsters. The bulk of the fraud scheme centers around two government programs.

Taking a very significant step to be in alignment with President Trump’s North American trade bloc construct, Mexico has passed a sweeping set of tariffs against Chinese imports. The motive for the move by President Claudia Sheinbaum and her political party, Morena, which controls both legislative chambers is clear. Mexico is moving into direct alignment with President Trump as the likelihood for the end of the current USMCA trade agreement looms. President Trump has sent clear signals expressing his intent to dissolve the USMCA trade agreement in favor of two bilateral agreements, one with Mexico and one with Canada. The Mexican government led by Sheinbaum -

“Somali Immigrants Are Revitalizing Main Street America,” NBC News claimed. A barrage of similar stories hailed Somalis and other Muslim migrants for ‘transforming’ Middle America. After President Trump’s criticism of Somali abuse, triggered by reporting of massive $1B plus frauds conducted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center and other conservative media outlets, the media has rushed out more of these same stories about Somali accomplishments. But let’s look at some of the facts. Somalis are the second largest foreign-born population in Minnesota after Mexicans. 42% of Somalis fall below the poverty line. This is far worse than the 21% poverty rate for African-Americans or any Christian African immigrant population -
