Virginia’s new Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger has just announced that she is signing an executive order to keep ICE agents away from polling places. Why do you suppose such a thing would be necessary? Democrats assure us that illegal aliens are not voting because they are forbidden from doing so by law. So why would they be worried about ICE showing up at polling places? It just doesn’t make any sense. Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger said Tuesday that she plans to issue an executive order on Wednesday to help election workers respond if federal agents show up at polling sites in Virginia.

Folks, I think we've officially reached the tipping point when it comes to the fall of communist Cuba. If anyone else was president, I wouldn't buy it myself, but Donald Trump is, and I do. Ironically, it happened on May 20, when the country should be celebrating its independence, but it's a day that the regime refuses to acknowledge. "Today marks the beginning of the end for the Castro family," Rep. María Salazar said, following the big news on Wednesday. In case you missed it, that big news was the Department of Justice (DOJ) announcing that it was charging Raúl Castro with conspiracy to kill U.S.—

President Donald Trump spoke at the Congressional Picnic on the White House South Lawn and made a point that normal folks understood straight away. He listed better economic signs, including factory construction, housing starts, and consumer spending, then added, “We have an economy; people aren't seeing it yet.” His critics treated that line like a confession. A plainer reading points elsewhere: Trump was taking a shot at a media class that wouldn't recognize good economic news if it landed on the South Lawn with a brass band wearing bowl cuts. From The Daily Beast:

The distinguished political scientist Graham Allison, author of the 2015 Atlantic article “The Thucydides Trap,” argued that often in history an established power will stage a preventive war against an ascendant adversary—for fear that otherwise it will soon lose its primacy. His title derives from two passages in the first book of the ancient Greek historian Thucydides (460–400/395? BC), author of The Peloponnesian War. Thucydides, on these two occasions, felt that the most likely cause of the Spartan-Athenian war (431–404) was Spartan fear of an increasingly powerful rival Athenian empire.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday demanded that Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough be fired, arguing that over the years, her rulings have been “brutal” to Republicans. The parliamentarian serves at the pleasure of the Senate Majority Leader, who can instruct the Senate Secretary to dismiss the official at any time. Trump expressed frustration in a post on Truth Social that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has refused to take this step, raging that the “Dumocrats cheat, lie, and steal, especially when it comes to Votes in Elections, but stick together, whereas the Republicans allow the Elizabeth MacDonoughs of the World to stay in power, and brutalize us.”

The Department of Justice on Wednesday announced murder charges against former Cuban President and longtime Defense Minister Raúl Castro, 94. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated during a press conference in Miami on Wednesday that a federal grand jury charged Castro and five co-defendants with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, destruction of aircraft, and four counts of murder, in connection with a 1996 incident where Cuban jets shot down humanitarian flights of the Cuban exile group Brothers to the Rescue. Elected officials in Florida’s Cuban American communities on Wednesday praised the Justice department and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

House Judiciary Republicans confirmed Wednesday night that Southern Poverty Law Center CEO Bryan Fair will testify in front of the committee next month regarding allegations it funded elements of extremist and racist groups. For decades, the SPLC has positioned itself as the nation’s preeminent watchdog, which maintained a controversial "Hate Map" that increasingly labeled benign conservative organizations and religious groups as hate groups. But a recent federal indictment returned by a grand jury suggests the organization was playing a double game by allegedly manufacturing the very extremism it claimed to be fighting to keep its fundraising machine humming.

Seattle’s lefty Mayor Katie Wilson admitted she was wrong to slam Starbucks and push for a boycott of the mega-coffee chain birthed in the Pacific City. Wilson, 43, issued a terse mea culpa to the New York Times this week as questions swirl about whether the liberal Northwest city can attract and retain businesses, including Starbucks, which recently chose to expand its footprint in Tennessee. The democratic socialist made waves last fall when she joined a barista union rally as mayor-elect and expressed her disgust with one of Seattle’s most recognizable businesses.

An Air France flight was blocked from entering US airspace and instead diverted to Canada over fears of one passenger’s exposure to the Ebola outbreak in Africa. Air France Flight 378 was scheduled to land at Detroit Metro Wayne Airport in Michigan late Wednesday afternoon before it changed course for Montreal Trudeau International Airport in the Canadian city. US officials stopped the flight from entering the country after it was revealed a passenger from the Democratic Republic of Congo was allowed to board “in error,” the US Customs and Border Protection told CBS News. “Due to entry restrictions put in place to reduce the risk of the Ebola virus,

Zohran Mamdani’s “apology tour” to quell the business community’s outrage over his bizarre social media posting targeting fellow business leader Ken Griffin didn’t include much apologizing, The Post has learned. In fact, Griffin’s name and Mamdani’s “creepy” stunt — where he stood outside the Citadel chief’s penthouse to brag about taxing the rich — never came up in the confabs Monday with two of the biggest CEOs on Mamdani’s agenda, Jamie Dimon, the chief of mega bank JP Morgan and David Solomon, the CEO of investment banking giant Goldman Sachs. Don’t blame our Marxist mayor for ignoring the obvious —

The Democratic left’s favorite caricature of President Trump describes him as recklessly impulsive, wildly inconsistent and addicted to shooting from the hip. The image is powerful boob bait for the uninformed, but it is demonstrably false when it comes to matters of great importance. ­Exhibit A is Trump’s consistent and decade-long patient policies toward Iran. For years he has been saying the mullahs would never be allowed to get nuclear weapons on his watch. It was a major theme of his first campaign and first term. He proved he was serious in 2018 when he withdrew the United States from President Barack Obama’s sketchy pact,

A 28-year-old New Yorker ditched the five boroughs for a booming Texas suburb — and says he’s “never” moving back as a flood of workers and companies head south in search of cheaper living and better opportunities. Akash Khanna, a commercial real estate agent, relocated to Frisco, Texas shortly after the pandemic — a move he made after years of bouncing between Jersey City, Wall Street, Brooklyn and Queens. “I never think about moving back there, ever,” Khanna said, describing New York as a “high-paced” metropolis that no longer fit his long-term goals.
