October 8th’s Irony: Islamic Supremacists Fall in the Middle East, Rise in the West
Will we find the moral clarity and summon the courage to defeat them? Three years on from October 7th, the Islamic supremacists lost this round of their Forever War to eliminate the Jews and conquer the Middle East — seeing their jihadist fighters battered and beaten, though by no means eliminated.
Mamdani 9/11 Pen Handoff to Al-Qaeda Defending Chief Counsel Was a Chilling Triumphalist Act
There’s a reason the mayor handed the signing ceremony pen to a chief counsel who has spent his career litigating on behalf of jihadists, and laboring to dismantle U.S. counterterrorism authorities (NYC Mayor’s Office/YouTube) When Mayor Zohran Mamdani passed a 9/11 executive order signing ceremony pen to Chief Counsel Ramzi Kassem – former lawyer to an Al Qaeda operative related to one of the 19 hijackers – it was more than a gratuitous act.
Abdul El-Sayed’s ‘AIPAC’ Invective Masks that He is the Muslim Brotherhood’s Man in Michigan -- And Maybe Soon Washington
He has long coordinated with alleged Brotherhood front groups; garnered gobs of their cash, endorsements, and election assistance; and promoted the Brotherhood, its agenda, and supportive narratives Abdul El-Sayed’s extensive links to CAIR — unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing case in U.S. history — are the tip of the iceberg of his Muslim Brotherhood ties.

National Insecurity: America’s Continuing Reliance on Critical Chinese Materials
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 – with face masks, gloves, and other basic protections in high demand – Chinese leaders threatened to plunge America into the “mighty sea of coronavirus” by withholding essential medical supplies in retaliation for measures such as the U.S. travel ban on visitors from China.

About FACE: Trump Administration Using Abortion-Focused Law To Defend Believers
Instead of the word of the Lord, worshippers at the Jan. 18 Sunday prayer service at Cities Church in St. Paul were met with chants such as “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good.” But that’s not all.

Exclusive: House Oversight Panel Probes NY Medicaid Matching Practices
The House Oversight Committee is intensifying its probe into allegations that the state of New York has been improperly matching federal funds under a Medicaid program used to sustain safety-net hospitals – shortchanging such providers by having them put up their own funds to cover the state’s match – as part of an unlawful scheme to shore up Albany’s shaky finances.

Will the 'Technocratic' Palestinian Committee Now Governing Gaza Support Trump's Peace Plan?
Dr. Ali Shaath (YouTube/MAS Palestine) Is the “technocratic” Palestinian committee now responsible for administering Gaza going to work for, or against President Donald Trump and his plans for the Strip, Israel, and peace in the Middle East? The views of that 15-member committee’s newly installed leader, Dr. Ali Shaath, suggest a potential conflict.
A Little-Known SBA Regulation Could Decide the Future of DEI in Government
Original Article Posted By: philsner, 1/9/2026 11:27:33 AM Opponents of affirmative action hoped that the Supreme Court had delivered a death blow to the controversial policy in 2023 when Chief Justice John Roberts declared for the court's majority that "Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it." But as sweeping as that pronouncement was, it came in a ruling in the landmark SFFA v. Harvard case, solely barring the use of racial preferences in college admissions.
One Fell Swoop: Lawsuit Eyes Death Blow to Racial Preferences

Did Ilhan Omar Rake in More Campaign Cash From More 'Feeding Our Future' Scandal Fraudsters Than Has Been Reported?
Campaign finance records indicate "Yes." And there's more to investigate regarding her nexus to the scandal. In my book, American Ingrate, I reported on Ilhan Omar’s fraudulence. Through her MEALS legislation she enabled a far bigger one that lined the pockets of Somalians in her district — some of whom were her associated and supporters.
The Governor, the CEO & the FBI: Scandal Threatens New York Hospital
After taking the helm at New York’s financially troubled Nassau University Medical Center late last year, Megan C. Ryan stumbled upon something baffling in the books: a two-decade-long series of transactions engineered by New York State that may have shortchanged the hospital by a staggering $1 billion in matching funds. As a hospital primarily serving patients on Medicare, Medicaid, or who are uninsured, the medical center qualified for federal matching grants tied to state contributions.

From Lawfare to Barfare: Another Way To Target Trump Allies
When Jeffrey Clark was tapped to lead the second Trump administration’s chief regulatory review office, it marked an astonishing redemption. For years, congressional investigators and prosecutors had pursued the former Department of Justice official primarily over an unsent letter he drafted, in support of President Trump’s 2020 election challenge, calling for Georgia to consider launching a last-minute legislative session to review its results.

Supreme Court Killed Universal Injunctions in Name Only
On June 27, the Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump what he hailed as a “GIANT WIN,” finding that lower courts had “likely” overstepped in ordering universal injunctions blocking many of the president’s policies. While the Court’s 6-3 opinion in Trump v. CASA appeared to disarm Trump’s opponents of perhaps their most potent legal weapon, his adversaries had other ideas.

Tipping the Scales: Why So Many Cases Against Trump Are Heard by Democrat-Appointed Judges
As the Trump administration faces substantial pushback in the courts, including an unprecedented wave of nationwide injunctions halting its policies, some are claiming that his opponents are tilting the scales of justice by selectively bringing their lawsuits before sympathetic courts in a practice called “forum shopping.” They note that three-quarters of the lower court justices who have blocked Trump policies were appointed by Democrats.

Supremes consider whether one district judge can derail a president
Original Article Posted By: Moritz55, 5/16/2025 1:40:34 PM Will the Supreme Court stop radicals in robes from subverting the president and imperiling the separation of powers via rule by universal injunction? Or will it continue allowing any one of 680 district court judges to nullify the votes of tens of millions of Americans by hamstringing the commander in chief with rulings infringing upon his powers to pursue policy and pick personnel?

Trump's Migrant Hunt Digs Into the IRS and Social Security
Against fierce resistance, the Trump administration is enlisting the Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration in its crackdown on illegal immigration. On April 7, the IRS signed an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that alarmed progressive pro-immigration groups and like-minded advocates – and reportedly prompted the tax bureau’s acting chief to resign in protest.

Chief Justice Roberts' Impeachment Rebuke Delegitimizes the Court in a Bid to Save it
The chief irony of Chief Justice John Roberts’ tenure at the Supreme Court is that the man so doggedly devoted to defending the judiciary has done so much to undermine it. In so doing, he has threatened not only the court’s legitimacy but the republic itself. His latest such act wasn’t an abomination of a ruling on the level of Obamacare, the census citizenship question, or DACA; a faulty probe into a devastating leak; or a defense of the indefensible censorship-industrial complex.
Obscene $8M Politico payout just one way feds reward their lapdog media
Reports say that the United States has spent more than $8 million media subscription services in 2024. AP As the federal government’s outrageous spending draws the Trump administration’s hugely deserved scrutiny, one of this week’s many scandals is that We the Taxpayers have been shelling out millions to buy bureaucrats subscriptions to left-leaning media sources.
Transgender ‘recognition’ in Bangladesh, Kosovo, Guatemala — how one USAID employee shows what’s wrong with the embattled agency
In the annals of asinine USAID funding now bursting into public view under Trump administration scrutiny, the $50-billion-a-year United States Agency for International Development’s efforts to make the world safe for Queerocracy ring particularly perverse. For a window into these most colorful of efforts, consider the cool million bucks you the taxpayer committed in an award for an LGBTQI program adviser you probably didn’t know you needed.
