A desperate plea… Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who faces more than seven years behind bars after pleading guilty to wire fraud and identity theft, is seeking clemency from President Trump. “I’ll take a commutation, clemency, whatever the president is willing to give me,” Santos told British media personality Piers Morgan in an episode of Morgan’s YouTube show “Uncensored” on Thursday. “Seven years […]
Donald Trump changed the game… Fox News anchor Bret Baier didn’t shy away from the fact that Trump has had a major impact on the changing media landscape and Americans’ general distrust of the media. “Of course, yeah, he kind of broke the system,” Baier told Politico Playbook this week when asked about Trump’s influence on media.

There is something curiously reflexive in the way modern states panic over private innovation. When Elon Musk, through SpaceX and its Starlink constellation, assumed functional dominance in the launch and operation of low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites, the global chorus of concern struck a familiar note. So much power in one man’s hands, they said. What […]
Ivanka Trump, once a fixture in Washington and a senior adviser to the President, has stepped decisively out of the political spotlight. At first, this retreat appeared curious, even dissonant. Why would a woman so central to her father’s first administration recede during his triumphant return to the White House? But as her latest venture […]
It is often said that central banks whisper what markets scream. In this case, the Federal Reserve’s silence on interest rates speaks volumes about the durability of Trump-era economic policy.

In her recent address to the American Bar Association, Justice Sonia Sotomayor spoke not as a neutral jurist interpreting the Constitution, but as a partisan urging mobilization against the sitting administration. Her remarks, delivered with careful modulation, carried all the marks of political rhetoric under the guise of moral urgency: “This is our time to […]
The U.S. may be key. The world’s first drone war between nuclear-armed neighbors has erupted in South Asia as the India-Pakistan conflict grows into the most expansive in decades. Both countries have launched attacks at each other’s territories well beyond their disputed Kashmir border. Could this conflict go nuclear? The risks are high as the two […]
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is expected to sign a highly controversial bill into law that would classify the intentional use of a transgender-identifying person’s former name—commonly called “deadnaming”—or incorrect pronouns as a form of discrimination under the state’s civil rights law. The legislation, officially titled House Bill 25-1312 and informally known as the “Kelly Loving […]

Radical Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has ignited controversy once again. A resurfaced clip of Dem. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the progressive “Squad”, sparked a frenzy on social media this week over her comments regarding the “radicalization of White men.” “I would say our country should be more fearful of White men across our country, […]
How Gates, Soros, And Ford Use ‘Equity’ To Hijack Federal Grants
The moral halo of philanthropy is one of the most impenetrable armors in American public life. Wrapped in the rhetoric of generosity and reform, large foundations like the Gates Foundation, Soros’ Open Society, and the Ford Foundation operate under the assumption that doing good excuses their methods. But methods matter. Especially when those methods amount […]
