Keep his name out ya mouth!That's reportedly what the world's most famous helicopter mom Melania Trump told stepson Eric Trump after he recently breached the topic of baby brother Barron.In an interview with Megyn Kelly, Eric shed a little light on that infamous Inauguration Day exchange between Barron and out-stumbling President Joe Biden.There's long been speculation from lip readers and TDS sufferers that Barron cursed at Poor Old Joe – adding insult to injury as his daddy kicked the Bidens to the curb.But Eric shut that down.'[Barron said] something so polite I almost wouldn't even get it right,' Eric claimed,...

My close friends blame me for everything that Donald Trump does.One year ago I, a lifelong Democrat, wrote in The Free Press that I had just voted for Trump. I realized that my party had turned its back on working-class families like my own—in favor of identity politics, free trade, and open borders.Many people warned me about publishing the essay. They told me the reaction would be brutal, and they were right. Strangers on the internet relentlessly harassed me. Death threats flooded my inboxes. People accused me of being a Russian asset.They also told me that the left would use...

Following the gangbusters’ September jobs report that vastly eclipsed expectations, CNN hacks are now awkwardly doing the Watusi dance to try and explain around why the Trump economy isn’t the disaster they said it was. The November 20 headline from CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman, senior economy writer Alicia Wallace, and senior reporter Matt Egan was just chef’s kiss: “Wait, I thought the economy was terrible. What happened?” The authors gruffed over how “Entering this week, the perception of America’s economy was overwhelmingly negative.” But then, CNN’s apparent hopes to bury Trumponomics once and for all backfired. After the...

Grok Summary of Video Transcript:In short, the draft is widely seen in Kyiv and Europe as a forced settlement that rewards Russian aggression and permanently weakens Ukraine, while Zelensky walks a tightrope: dependent on U.S. support, battered domestically, and unwilling to accept the proposed concessions without major changes and real security guarantees. A final deal remains distant.A leaked 28-point U.S.-drafted peace plan, negotiated directly between Washington and Moscow without Ukrainian or European involvement, has caused alarm in Kyiv and European capitals. Key elements of the proposal include:Ukraine formally cedes the occupied Donbas territories (most of Donetsk and Luhansk) to Russia.Permanent...

In the grand theater of American decline, there are few characters so destructive as the Affluent White Female Liberal (AWFL), a suburban archetype with a Prius, a “Coexist” bumper sticker, and an unquenchable thirst for moral superiority. From the San Francisco Bay Area to the halls of Democrat power, these women, often secular, privileged, are kicking out the pillars upholding our society. Their hyper-liberal zeal promotes family breakdown, political alienation, cultural Marxism, and racial division, all while patting themselves on the back for “saving” the world. It would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous — the irony that the...

OPINION/ANALYSIS The Battalion student newspaper at Texas A&M university does not seem to be a fan of conservative student thought. An analysis of the 60 opinion pieces focused on politics published since November 2024 found that nearly all of them — 50 — leaned liberal (35), left-leaning (5), far-left (5), and liberal satire (5). Only 7 of the opinion political pieces were moderate or neutral, and a total of three were conservative, or a ratio of almost 17 to 1 liberal to conservative. The research was conducted by student Justino Russell, who was inspired to dig into the analysis after...

Adam Johnston @adamkjohnston Less than 3 minutes into the Ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution, and we get: 1. White people are bad. 2. Native Americans had a centuries-old democracy before British colonists arrived. 3. Benjamin Franklin copied the Native American blueprint.

Federal authorities with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service have arrested a top official with the Arizona Attorney General’s office on felony charges of controlling and trafficking stolen property. This comes as Attorney General Kris Mayes faces scrutiny and a potential federal investigation for weaponizing her office and apparently accepting bribes to grant unprecedented prosecutorial authority to an outside nonprofit group in her case against alternative 2020 electors in Arizona. The Gateway Pundit spoke to Rep. Abe Hamadeh, who sent a letter to the DOJ last week, demanding an investigation into Mayes. He revealed that Mayes’s bribe was used to fund...

Looks like Morning Joe forgot to lug along the seven-second-delay machine when it moved from MSNBC to MS NOW. Back in 2008, we noted that Morning Joe had instituted the seven-second delay two days after Joe Scarborough dropped an F-bomb. Scarborough went potty mouth again today. It came in response to Speaker Mike Johnson's and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's comments on the video released by six congressional Democrats telling members of the US military they can refuse to obey illegal orders. [snip] Scarborough said: "He lies so pretty. I mean, it's too easy for him to lie." Willie...

WASHINGTON – Today, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) sent a letter to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s attorney, David Kendall, emphasizing that while the Committee remains engaged in good-faith negotiations, the Clintons are required to comply with lawful subpoenas and appear for scheduled in-person depositions. “The House Oversight Committee is continuing its review of the federal government’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In July, Democrats and Republicans on this Committee approved a motion to issue subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Committee has since worked in good faith to schedule in-person depositions,...

President Trump has been trying his best to get Tina Peters out of prison in Colorado. She was sentenced to nine years in prison at age 69 for, at best, a misdemeanor they raised to a felony. She was acting as a whistleblower, or at least she thought so. In the most vengeful responses, the state has refused every effort to bring her to federal prison. Steve Bannon said she has now been sent to the hole, the special housing unit. In other words, she’s in solitary confinement where wardens send prisoners to break them psychologically and physically. That does...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Lawmakers sent shockwaves around the globe with the Christmas season right around the corner, as Congress passed a resolution to release Santa Claus' "Naughty or Nice" list. The controversial bill was met with heavy opposition on Capitol Hill, as the release of Santa's list was set to expose the names of naughty power players and world leaders to the public for the first time. "There are a lot of people who don't want this information made public," said House Speaker Mike Johnson. "Rest assured, we didn't make this decision lightly. While there is something to be said...

A knife-wielding suspect was shot and killed Friday morning at St. Louis Lambert International Airport after refusing orders to drop his weapon, police said. The officer-involved shooting happened around 1:05 a.m. local time as "STL Airport Police officers were conducting routine security checks in Terminal 1" and "encountered an adult male with a knife," according to St. Louis County Police.

A Queens man who shot and killed a would-be mugger more than two years ago has been sentenced to four years in prison after he pleaded guilty on Thursday to possessing an unlicensed revolver in a case his attorney said shows New York City's "draconian" gun laws. Charles Foehner, 67, admitted guilt in one count of criminal weapons possession in a plea deal, ending his case stemming from the 2022 shooting of Cody Gonzalez near Foehner's home, reports the New York Post. Prosecutors declined to charge the retired doorman directly in Gonzalez's death after he told police he acted in...

The Democrat National Committee (DNC) has taken out a huge loan in anticipation of next year’s midterms as the party lacks leadership with nothing to show for shutting down the government. Politico on Thursday cited a filing with the Federal Election Commission regarding the $15 million loan. “The national party committee framed the line of credit as an early investment to boost its candidates in New Jersey and Virginia earlier this month, and help build up state parties ahead of next year’s midterms. But the need for a loan still puts the DNC in sharp contrast with its GOP counterpart,...

Sean Hannity 🇺🇸 @seanhannity BREAKING: Jim Jordan reveals his phone records were targeted in the Biden DOJ’s Arctic Frost probe: "We know they spied on President Trump, then we learned it was Senators, then the Speaker of the House, and now we’ve learned they were spying on me for two and a half years, all the way back to January 2020. This is the epitome of the weaponization of government against the other party."

A vote to condemn the “horrors of socialism” passed on a mostly party-line vote Friday, with 98 Democrats voting against it and 199 Republicans voting for it. The bill passed 285-98.

On Wednesday, US District Court Judge Michael Nachmanoff grilled interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan in his courtroom during a hearing on disgraced former FBI Director James Comey’s attempts to dismiss his case for vindictive prosecution. While the hearing was specifically about the vindictive prosecution, Judge Nachmanoff, towards the end of the hearing, found that Halligan had signed the two-count indictment without first presenting it to the grand jury. This left the case “hanging by a thread,” as reported by Politico: The Trump administration’s criminal prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey appeared to be in serious jeopardy Wednesday as the...
