Sen. Mitch McConnell remains hospitalized, his office said in a statement Thursday — without offering details about a recent medical episode that has renewed concern about the health of the former Republican majority leader.
McConnell “continues his recovery in the hospital” and “continues to improve,” his office said. “Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” the statement said. “The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”
The statement did not explain why he was hospitalized last month.

After 9/11, there was a lot of talk about ‘radical Islam.’ There is no ‘radical Islam’ or ‘moderate Islam’, but lately there is more of a trend of middle class white women becoming radicalized on social media, supporting Islamic terrorists and sometimes converting to Islam. To some degree this is just BLM 2.0 or Transgender 3.0 with bored empty people becoming caught up in social media contagion. But it’s also an entry point for the enemies of our country who are happy enough to recruit these useful idiots.
A middle-class upstate New York mom has been charged with allegedly supporting an Islamic terrorist organization after donating $30,000 in cryptocurrency to

The Trump administration has officially ended the federal government's decades-old paper retirement processing system, replacing a notoriously slow, manual operation housed inside a former Pennsylvania limestone mine with a fully digital process. The milestone, dubbed the "Last Day of Paper" by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), marks one of the Department of Government Efficiency's biggest victories after years of failed reform efforts. Located more than 230 feet underground in Boyers, Pennsylvania, the OPM retirement processing center stored more than 400 million paper records and manually processed roughly 10,000 federal retirement applications every month. Strangely though, for decades, retirement paperwork was physically mailed between agencies before arriving

The CIA investigated thousands of unvaccinated employees as if they were potential foreign espionage and sabotage threats, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
In September 2021, former President Joe Biden mandated that federal employees and contractors receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Shortly after, the CIA’s chief operating officer directed the Counter Espionage Department (CED) to begin investigating employees and contractors who did not comply, the lawsuit alleges. Former CIA officer James Erdman, who uncovered Langley’s alleged surveillance of its own unvaccinated employees, said in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation that he repeatedly pressed CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s office to remove the marks on unvaccinated employees’ personnel files

President Donald Trump visited the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Wednesday and received a memorable welcome courtesy of the Rough Riders.
The 26th president’s new library is set to open on the Fourth of July in Bismarck, North Dakota.
Despite being a New Yorker by birth and spending a considerable portion of his early career in politics there, Roosevelt had a love of the great outdoors. He sought refuge in the Dakota Badlands territory in 1884 as he grieved the death of his first wife and his mother, who died on the same day. Wednesday saw the 45th and 47th president pay his respects to the life of the 26th president, delivering a

The father of socialist Melat Kiros (D), who unseated 15-term Rep. Diana DeGette (D) in Colorado’s first congressional district Democrat primary this week, legally immigrated to the United States when his daughter was an infant thanks to the federal government’s Diversity Visa Lottery.
Running on Medicare for All, abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), mass amnesty for illegal aliens, and so-called “restorative justice programs,” Kiros, 29 years old, was able to defeat DeGette, who has served in Congress since 1997.
Kiros’s website details her immigration history, mainly that her father was a beneficiary of the Diversity Visa Lottery in May 1997, just weeks after her birth.

A Secret Service counter drone operator futilely searched the internet for the location of the rooftop President Trump’s would-be assassin was spotted on as shots rang out at the July 13, 2024, campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to a Department of Homeland Security inspector general report released Thursday.
The report concluded Secret Service “missed multiple opportunities to detect, prevent, and disrupt” deranged gunman Thomas Crooks’ attempted assassination of Trump, including shocking communications failures that resulted in the president’s protective detail never being warned that an armed man had climbed onto the American Glass Research International (AGR) complex’s roof just 155 yards from the stage.

A Somalian flag that was raised outside of Buffalo’s City Hall to commemorate Somali Independence Day was stolen in an overnight heist, the city’s leftist mayor decried.
“The City of Buffalo’s flagpole in Niagara Square sustained damage after unknown vandals broke the access panel, cut the cable, and removed the Somali flag during the overnight hours of Wednesday, July 1,” Mayor Sean Ryan wrote on Facebook.
Ryan said the Buffalo Police Department was investigating the alleged vandalism after the city approved non-profit HEAL International to raise the white star, blue flag on July 1.
“The flag had been raised by an organization called Heal International in honor of Somalian Independence Day.

A Washington, D.C. Superior Court grand jury has indicted former Olympian David Hearn on a second-degree felony charge of “Destruction of property $1,000 or more.”
Hearn “ripped a piece of recently installed sealant,” Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said in a press conference Thursday announcing the indictment. “[Hearn] willfully destroyed property at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.”
Pirro stated that National Park Service (NPS) employees who were on scene claim to have observed Hearn reaching and pulling up the liner with both hands. Pirro alleges that Hearn caused damage to at least two square feet of the Reflecting Pool, citing the multi-million-dollar cost of the recent renovations

Deep blue Massachusetts Democrats are mulling a bill that would give illegal aliens the power to sue immigration agents personally for daring to arrest them for breaking immigration laws.
Despite the blatant unconstitutionality of the proposal, Bay State liberals are attempting to give illegals a path to attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in their personal lives merely for doing their constitutionally approved job.
The state’s Democrat-dominated legislature is currently working to reconcile the PROTECT Act, which would further hamstring state law enforcement from working with immigration officials. The bill also contains the provision to sue ICE agents personally, the Washington Examiner reports.

Presumptive Democratic congresswoman and Zohran Mamdani-backed socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier, 32, is dating Mamdani's chief legal counsel, 48-year-old Ramzi Kassem, who is best known for defending al Qaeda terrorists, including a "close associate" of Osama bin Laden.
Chevalier confirmed the relationship in a statement shared with City & State. "Ramzi Kassem and I met outside an ICE detention facility, both working to free someone unjustly held," she said. "Over the years, as we collaborated on different projects, our professional acquaintance became a friendship, which grew into a romantic relationship. I'm deeply grateful for such a loving, supportive partner – he's been a refuge these past few years."

The Trump administration is set to unveil a sweeping overhaul of federal appliance efficiency rules that officials say will end "Green New Scam" appliance mandates, restore consumer choice, and block future federal crackdowns on gas stoves, fluorescent lightbulbs, HVAC systems, and other household appliances.
"In America, you should be able to choose between a drying machine that takes multiple cycles to dry your clothes and one that does it on the first try — unfortunately, past administrations thought otherwise," Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Fox News Digital.
The Department of Energy is expected to propose a sweeping rewrite of federal appliance regulations that would change how energy-efficiency standards are written,
