Two Democrat governors trying to advance progressive policies on immigration and gun control are facing pushback from local law enforcement, with sheriffs and prosecutors in Maryland and Virginia openly resisting portions of the states’ new agendas. In Maryland, a majority of the state’s elected sheriffs filed a federal lawsuit challenging the newly enacted Community Trust Act, a law backed by Democrat Gov. Wes Moore that limited cooperation between local law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authorities.

former senior intelligence community official under President Barack Obama reported concerns earlier this year that the Hunter Biden laptop letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials in 2020 bore characteristics “consistent with coordinated intelligence deception operations,” according to a memo the ex-official submitted to the intelligence community inspector general. The concerns have now been referred to the Justice Department, a remarkable turnabout for a letter that was used six years ago to censor factually based concerns about Biden family corruption.

The rollout of the DOJ’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund” may have been botched, but the fund remains a good idea, and the hysteria from Democrats like the hypocritical Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden and allied media is absurd. It’s not unprecedented or corrupt or Trump’s personal “slush fund,” no matter how loudly they shriek. It’s just a rebranding of an existing legal settlement fund Congress authorized decades ago, as Washington lawyer and veteran Senate oversight investigator Jason Foster points out. Administrations of both parties have repeatedly used the DOJ’s “Judgment Fund” to settle legal claims against the federal —

The Department of Homeland Security ripped New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill for claiming that she had solved a major issue behind the violent protests at the ICE detention center Delaney Hall in Newark Sunday. Sherrill announced that visitation rights for the 1,000 migrants who are being held at the privately run facility — one of the grievances that had led to a prolonged hunger strike by some detainees and clashes between anti-ICE protesters and feds. Instead, DHS officials claimed that visitation rights were restored after they were able to bring the violent protests under control — after he Shetrill and her allies fomented them.

new study finds that donations from faculty at U.S. top universities have become increasingly one-sided – suggesting that politically active faculty are clustered within a “narrow” and “ideological” far-left band. To be sure, similar studies have long concluded that U.S. universities have more liberal-leaning than conservative-leaning faculty. However, the new study, released Thursday and commissioned by the nonprofit civil liberties group the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, attempts to more accurately assess a faculty member’s political ideology through culling campaign contributions, instead of merely finding a member’s political affiliation.

Last Saturday, odious “Marxist” influencer Hasan Piker—nephew of Young Turk cofounder Cenk Uygur—was served a subpoena by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Piker visited Cuba in March as part of the “Nuestra América Convoy,” a delegation of “communist sympathizers, activists, and influencers” (Fox News) who took supplies to the island’s beleaguered, bedraggled Communist Party and provided a much-needed propaganda boost in the face of mounting U.S. pressure. The investigation will consider whether Piker and others, perhaps as many as 40 people, violated U.S. sanctions and laws by visiting the island and, in particular, by supplying the regime with goods. U.S. law imposes a wide range of restrictions—

GOP members in Congress are joining TikTok after years of speaking out against the app and are going viral. Following in the footsteps of Democrat lawmakers who have been on the app for years, Republican lawmakers are gaining millions of views and reaching the younger generation of voters. Last year, TikTok, the social media platform known for its short-form video content and addictive algorithm, was at the center of a data privacy concern. The platform was created and founded by a Chinese technology company, ByteDance, with links to the Chinese Communist Party. Many in the Republican Party were concerned the CCP had access to billions of Americans’ personal data.

Though Israel was included in the various ceasefires that President Donald Trump has declared, almost always without securing Israel's consent, it is clear that Israel will not be a party to the truce mediated by half a dozen countries, notably Pakistan. Iran, as it is already threatening, intends to continue its war against Israel through the Lebanese Hezbollah. Last Tuesday, Tehran said $5 billion of any Iranian frozen assets that will be released under the truce will go to Hezbollah in Lebanon to "continue the resistance." [M]ost of the targets hit by Tehran were civilian structures that had nothing to do with US or Israeli forces.

America’s most infamous tech company has a bold, potentially risky plan to supposedly reduce the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses, assuming the federal government will sign off on the proposal. As The New York Post reported, Google wants federal approval to unleash approximately 32 MILLION mosquitoes into the states of California and Florida over the next two years. This is supposedly part of an effort to halt the spread of several serious mosquito-borne illnesses, including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever.

Martina McBride was, once upon a time, one of country’s biggest stars. The emphasis there is once upon a time; a long time, unless you’re one of those types who thinks it’s only yesterday that Pearl Jam and the Strokes were on the radio and any large group of people still listened to any of those three. (No shame in that; I’m in your numbers.) McBride’s last album that appeared in the Billboard 200 was released in 2014. Her last album certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America — for between 500,000 to 1 million sales or equivalent streams — was released in 2007.
