Dems Place Their Bets Against The U.S.

‘The Democrats are betting on failure.” That’s how National Review’s Noah Rothman characterizes the Democratic Party’s response to the U.S.-Israeli attacks on the terrorist regime that controls Iran. But Rothman has it only half right. Democrats aren’t just betting on failure in Iran. They are trying to engineer it. And not just in Iran, but at home as well, where they are actively trying to undermine the economy. Because, you see, the midterms are coming up, and to Democrats, what matters isn’t the well-being of Americans or ridding the world of its chief terrorist threat. The only thing that matters is winning elections. While Ayatollah Khamenei’s body was still warm,

Democrats are nothing but "nattering nabobs of negativism." Quoting Spiro Agnew.

President Donald Trump celebrated a report that the FBI obtained election records from Arizona’s largest county, a move that follows a federal raid last month on a Georgia county’s elections department. Maricopa County, the site of the reported FBI raid, has been a contentious jurisdiction for elections, particularly after Joe Biden beat Donald Trump narrowly in the state in 2020. Trump wrote “Great!!!” in a Truth Social post about the report of the FBI demanding election records. The state Senate conducted a forensic audit of the 2020 election returns in Maricopa County. State Senate President Warren Petersen,

The Department of Education will soon require universities to publicly disclose the counterparties of foreign funding, a senior Education Department official told The Daily Signal. Section 117 of the Higher Education Act requires higher education institutions to report gifts and contracts valued at $250,000 or more to the Department of Education, to make them available for public inspection. Universities currently report counterparties, their gifters or contractors, to the agency. However, the identities of foreign counterparties are not made public, which the senior department official said violates the law.

With the Iran conflict being top of mind, Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave a speech Monday at the State Department in which he zeroed in on what he called "hostage diplomacy," declaring the Iranian regime "the world’s leading hostage-taker, the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism."In remarks made during the department's "U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Flag Raising Ceremony," Rubio asserted that actions Iran has taken since the strikes first began further prove the points made by the United States about the threat they posed to the region and the world:

Officials reportedly said a prison guard in the unit where Jeffrey Epstein was being held searched his name on Google minutes before he was found dead. U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) documents showed the guard also made a $5,000 deposit just over a week before his death, the New York Post reported on Saturday, identifying the guard as Tova Noel. In August 2019 Epstein, a convicted pedophile, was found dead inside his Manhattan jail cell where reports said he hanged himself. Noel and another guard were accused of falsifying records to make it appear as though they had checked on Epstein during the night hours.

The ouster of Kristi Noem opens the path for a potential deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, according to Senate sources familiar with negotiations. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said Noem’s departure from Homeland Security is a “major step” that he said should move the negotiations closer to a deal. A Senate GOP source familiar with the talks said Republican leaders hope it will be enough to persuade a group of centrists to break with their leadership and vote for a bill to reopen the government. Four Democrats voted with Republicans in the House Thursday to fund the Homeland Security Department through September.

A Democratic assemblyman has been accused of dabbling in drugs, alcohol and having a gambling addiction as his wife’s bombshell divorce documents were made public. Joaquin Arambula, who is running to be a councilmember on Fresno City Council, is in a legal battle with Elizabeth Arambula, who filed for divorce in January and wrote a lengthy appeal for child custody. “For years, I have covered for Respondent’s struggles with alcohol, marijuana, and gaming, concealing them from our children, family, friends, and his professional circle,” Elizabeth Arambula said according to court documents, in which she is seeking spousal support for the couple’s three children, now aged 11, 14, and 15.

Former CBS anchor Josh Elliott has filed for divorce from his wife, Liz Cho, after nearly a decade of marriage — and they are now embroiled in a vicious court battle. In Connecticut court papers obtained by Page Six, Elliott filed to end his marriage to the ABC anchor on June 20, 2025. “The marriage of the parties has broken down irretrievably,” the court papers read, as Elliott is asking for a “dissolution of the marriage” and for “an equitable distribution of all property, both real and personal.”

Spain is “indirectly” assisting the United States’ military action against Iran’s Islamic regime despite socialist PM Pedro Sánchez’s opposition to the operations, local outlets reported. On Wednesday, Sánchez delivered a brief statement expressing his opposition to the United States and Israel’s ongoing actions against the Iranian regime, and assumed a purported neutral stance by proclaiming, “The Spanish government’s position can be summed up: no to war.” Sánchez issued his proclamation hours after President Donald Trump threatened to cut off all trade with Spain in response to the European country’s refusal to allow the U.S. military to use its bases to strike Iran.

At times, you could be forgiven for having thought that Kristi Noem wanted to be a uniformed Department of Homeland Security officer rather than the secretary of the department. Now, the cabinet member most inclined to glamour shots out in the field is going to have to go back to wearing civilian clothes. For all his trademark firings during “The Apprentice” and the rapid turnover of his first term, President Trump has been loath to oust top officials this time around. Noem is the exception, and she’s earned the dubious distinction. Incompetent and preposterously self-promoting,

The new interim staff report on Minnesota’s fraud describes criminal activity that was enabled by a horrifying pattern of spineless government incompetence and systemic failure. Some say Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg. Best guess? Government, both state and federal, is rife with it. According to the March 4, 2026 House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform report, “The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota’s Fraud Explosion,” there was a massive failure in “governance and oversight” that allowed “known fraud and criminal schemes to flourish,”

President Trump on Thursday confirmed his dissatisfaction with a pricey ad campaign that featured Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem. The comments to NBC News come after Trump announced that Noem would soon be replaced as DHS chief. The $220 million advertisement depicted the former South Dakota governor on horseback, encouraging immigrants to self-deport from the U.S. Noem claimed Trump approved the ad — a claim the president refuted to Reuters shortly before she was removed from the role Thursday afternoon. “I wasn’t thrilled with it. I spent less money than that to become president,” Trump told NBC’s Garrett Haake later Thursday. “I didn’t know about it.”

Rev. Jesse Jackson’s son ripped former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for using the late civil rights icon’s memorial service to take shots at President Trump. Jesse Jackson Jr. said the grandstanding Democrats didn’t really know his father, after they used their eulogies to bash the president, his policies, and his vision for America during Friday’s star-studded send-off. “Yesterday, I listened for several hours to three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,” the grieving son said Saturday during a private memorial service at Rainbow Push Coalition headquarters in Chicago.He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were white or black,

Back in February, the U.K. said dogs were an obstacle to its latest diversity scheme, namely turning the "too white" English countryside into a more "diverse" (read: Islamic) place to live. Not long after, a Muslim in New York said she was glad the city was "coming to Islam" when it came to dogs. Islam believes dogs are filthy and they're haram in many places, of course. But people in the West love their dogs, and the pet industry in the U.K. makes over £10 billion. In the U.S., that figure is $157 billion for 2025. Most of that is driven by dog ownership, so of course the politicians can't come

It's saddening what is becoming of the once-Great Britain. While American and Israeli forces are resolving a 47-year-old problem by the suitable application of high explosives, while the United States literally flew into a hostile, totalitarian South American regime in the middle of the night and nabbed their thug-dictator who was wanted by the American justice system, the British Army is debating whether soldiers - male soldiers, mind you - should be allowed to style their hair, and to wear makeup and fingernail polish. No, this isn't a Monty Python sketch. It's real.

A Canadian parliament debates legislation to criminalize supposed hate speech, comments against "gender ideology" in the curriculum have already cost a former British Columbia school board member the equivalent of more than half a million U.S. dollars. A nurse who got kicked out of her own union for gender-critical views said the verdict against ex-Chilliwack Board of Education trustee Barry Neufeld shows "I do not have a snowball’s chance in hell" before the same quasi-judicial body. The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ordered Neufeld to pay $750,000 Canadian to all LGBTQ-identified members of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association for "injury to their dignity, feelings, and self-respect," citing discrimination in employment, hate speech

The FBI is expanding its criminal probe into suspected election irregularities, secretly obtaining a large tranche of voting records from Arizona’s largest county with a recent grand jury subpoena, multiple people familiar with the probe told Just the News. The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, said FBI agents are receiving gigabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County, about a month after the bureau first disclosed an investigation into election irregularities by raiding a warehouse near Atlanta and seizing ballots from the 2020 election conducted in Fulton County, Georgia’s largest metropolis.

The United Nations is having a budget crisis. It might have to lay off part of its staff. No one should be brokenhearted over this. It should instead be cause for celebration. The U.N. is nothing more than a parasite leeching off the American taxpayer while propping up dictators, terrorists, and every left-wing crackpot scheme ever dreamed up. It should be dissolved. Earlier this year, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres “sent a dramatic letter to” member states to warn them “about the ‘imminent financial collapse'” of the organization, says the Global Policy Forum of Europe. “The letter

Political commentator Meghan McCain has built a career that began with a powerful advantage: her last name. The daughter of late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), stepped into the national political conversation for decades because of her father's legacy. Meghan McCain never hid that connection, and she's defended her father's record with fierce loyalty since he died in 2018. Despite my thoughts about Meghan, her loyalty deserves respect; a daughter defending her father is hardly controversial, while she protects what she believes was an honorable legacy tied to her father's military service and Senate career. McCain, however, found his political decisions drifted away from conservative principles

The Liberal Democrats want Sir Keir Starmer to prevent the King visiting the United States next month over Donald Trump's criticism of the British response on Iran. The monarch and Queen Camilla are reported to be planning to meet the US president in a state visit at the end of April. But Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said the visit should not go ahead, as it would hand a "huge diplomatic coup" to Trump during US-Israeli strikes on Iran. Downing Street has declined to comment, telling reporters on Monday that a visit is yet to be confirmed.

Iran sent out a possible “operational trigger” to activate “sleeper assets” abroad after the war with America and Israel began, according to an encrypted message intercepted by the US. The coded signal was sent out following the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Feb. 28, with the message appearing to hold instructions for “covert operatives or sleeper assets,” ABC News reported, citing a federal alert sent to law enforcement agencies. The message could “be intended to activate or provide instructions to prepositioned sleeper assets operating outside the originating country,” the alert warned.

We would be completely unwise if we did not reserve the right to take any particular option, whether it included boots on the ground or not boots on the ground.”

Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal was roasted Sunday after he blamed the wrong protesters for hurling suspected explosive devices during dueling demonstrations outside Gracie Mansion on Saturday. Hoylman-Sigal issued a statement on X Saturday claiming, in part, “White Christian Nationalists led a roaming trail of Islamophobia and antisemitism today on Manhattan’s Upper East Side at Gracie Mansion where they targeted our mayor with an incendiary device.” The borough president took down the statement before it was publicly revealed Sunday that two pro-Muslim demonstrators, identified as Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, were arrested in the incident. Federal authorities are working with the NYPD on the case.
