The new Washington Post editorial board continues to be a surprise. I suspect they have posted more right-leaning material in the past 3 months than was published in the paper during Biden's entire term in office. In any case, today the Post makes the case that Obamacare subsidies, the coming expiration of which was the stated reason Democrats shut down the government, should not be extended. Why? Because there is lots of evidence suggesting the program is rife with fraud. On party-line votes in 2021 and 2022, Democrats invoked the pandemic emergency to temporarily expand eligibility for Obamacare insurance subsidies. Preserving these credits, which are due to expire

What? Not Republicans pounce™? No seizing? No mention of dastardly GOP tricks? I hear you gasp in disbelief, and I share your pain amusement. But in this case, the Washington Post focuses mainly on the real problem, which is a state party that seems to believe it's in California rather than Texas. Here's the headline, in case an editor figures out a way to blame the GOP later today: They're not wrong, except in scope, which we'll look at in a moment. The WaPo assessment correctly focuses on the political ouroboros currently taking place as House Democrats play musical chairs with fewer seats: Democrats saw a potential opportunity in flipping Texas

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A cadre of Texas Department of Public Safety troopers now stand watch over Texas’s most visited historic site. The Alamo Trust, a non-profit organization responsible for the daily operations of the historic site, transferred security responsibility to the troopers who have been in place since September. The move was mandated by Texas Senate Bill 3059, signed into law by Texas Governor Greg Abbott on June 20, 2025. Among other provisions related to the preservation and management of the Mission San Antonio de Valero, commonly referred to as the Alamo, the bill established the Alamo Commission, comprising state elected officials, including the governor, to oversee the historic site.

Loudoun County was hit with a Department of Justice lawsuit on Tuesday over its transgender policies, after the district suspended two Christian high school boys who expressed discomfort with the presence of a girl in their locker room. In March, a female student at Stone Bridge High School recorded a group of boys in the men’s locker room asking why a girl was allowed to use the boys’ locker room. Although recording in locker rooms is against district policy, the district opened a Title IX investigation into the boys, two Christian and one Muslim, and accused the two Christian boys of sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination.

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett launched a campaign Monday for the U.S. Senate in Texas, telling President Donald Trump, “I’m coming for you,” and bringing a national profile to what could be a critical race for Democrats’ long-shot hopes of reclaiming a Senate majority in next year’s midterm elections. Crockett, one of Congress’ most outspoken Democrats, a frequent target of GOP attacks and a Trump target, jumped into the race on the final day of qualifying in Texas. She is seeking the Senate seat held by Republican John Cornyn, who is running for reelection in the GOP-dominated state. “As a candidate who is constantly attacked

COTONOU - Benin President Patrice Talon said on Sunday that the West African nation's government and armed forces had thwarted a coup attempt by a group of soldiers and vowed to punish them. Talon's announcement on Sunday evening came about 12 hours after gunfire first rang out in several neighbourhoods of Cotonou, the country's biggest city and commercial hub, and soldiers went on state television to say they had removed Talon from power. Forces loyal to Talon "stood firm, recaptured our positions, and cleared the last pockets of resistance held by the mutineers," Talon said in his own televised statement.

In a video that began gaining wide circulation on Thursday, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) issued a call to action to her unhinged leftist following, and every patriot should be aware of what she said: “As much as Trump and his cronies want to act like we have no power to respond, the truth is we are more powerful than we think we are.” And clearly, she wants her leftist minions to use that power. Betraying her imperfect command of the English language, Omar continued: “And I want to underscore the importance of using every single leverage that we have at our — at, at our arsenal,

Left-led UK government follows up attacking Magna Carta and frequent social media arrests by announcing it is yet again postponing elections and moving to introduce a nationwide facial camera recognition system. Brexit leader Nigel Farage eviscerated the left-wing British government for piling depredations upon depredations on the British people, as they announced yet another postponement of local elections without good reason, on the same day they moved to roll out China-style facial recognition cameras. Speaking at a Reform Party press conference, Mr Farage said of these “monstrous” changes: …today’s the day we learn that there will be surveillance cameras not just in our big cities, but literally in every single village.

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear the case over President Donald Trump's executive order directing federal agencies to interpret the 14th Amendment as excluding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens and tourists, CBS News reported. Trump imposed the order as a means of combating the practice of birth tourism and the creation of "anchor babies", intended to present an obstacle to deportations. Thus far, the Department of Justice has struggled to defend the order in the lower courts and it remains unclear whether the conservative friendly justices will be more receptive to their arguments.

A former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who has been accused of being a covert Chinese agent, boasted in text messages that her boss was "much more obedient" than her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo. The comments, part of the evidence presented at Linda Sun's corruption trial, were made during a discussion aimed at convincing Cuomo, the governor at the time, to film a speech commemorating the Lunar New Year. Sun indicated to a Chinese official that she could get the then-Lt. Gov. to do it instead. “She (Hochul) is much more obedient

The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday in connection with the J6 pipe bombing incident is a huge story. But make no mistake, this story is about to be memory-holed by the mainstream media… and fast. Federal authorities arrested 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Virginia for allegedly planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on the night of January 5, 2021. For four years, Biden’s FBI failed to break the case while the pipe bombs were used as political ammunition against Trump supporters. As PJ Media previously reported, Cole’s arrest did not result from new tips or a brave new witness suddenly emerging from the shadows; it was because

Hell has frozen over, and take cover; pigs are flying. The New York Times has told the truth, and in so doing, defended Donald Trump and SecWar Pete Hegesth. The stakes are high: Polls show trust in the media at an all-time low with less than 20 percent of citizens trusting television or print media. Yet, reporters and academics continue to destroy the core principles that sustain journalism and ultimately the role of a free press in our society. Notably, writers who have been repeatedly charged with false or misleading columns are some of the greatest advocates for dropping objectivity in journalism. The Times’ sudden embrace
