President Trump has fired off a clear demand: the Smithsonian should stop celebrating baffling modernist art and start honoring George Washington the way Americans actually deserve. He wants an 11-foot Washington statue moved into the National Museum of American History for Constitution Day and a massive 30-foot “Washington Colossus” put where the so-called “Infinity” sculpture […] More

Vice President JD Vance’s mother, Beverly Vance Aikins, stepped into the ring on OutKick’s Tomi Lahren show and did not mince words. Her blunt response to Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdulrahman Mohamed El‑Sayed is the latest shot in a very public back‑and‑forth that has moved from podcast digs to headline‑grabbing family attacks. If you like […] More

Iran just took to social media to warn South Korea in Korean: don’t even think about sending ships or planes into the Strait of Hormuz. The message came from Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it’s the latest salvo in a wider confrontation that already has global trade and security on […] More

President Donald Trump raised eyebrows at the GOP midterm convention when he promised a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” for every adult American if Republicans win both chambers of Congress. The pledge is bold, simple, and built for social media. It also collides with the rules of budgeting, basic math, and the real world of Washington. That […] More

An F‑16 from NORAD scrambled Saturday morning to intercept a general‑aviation aircraft that strayed into the restricted airspace around Camp David while President Trump was at the presidential retreat. The jets fired flares to get the pilot’s attention, escorted the plane out of the area, and the incident left neighbors seeing — and hearing — […] More

Sean Hannity’s recent monologue wasn’t a throwaway cable rant. He told viewers the left has gone “radical” and that, in his view, the stakes for the country are higher than ever — a phrase he keeps repeating because he thinks Americans are finally waking up to what life looked like under the Biden administration and […] More

The Grand Canyon is famous for its beauty, not for failures of federal infrastructure. Yet a powerful flash flood ripped through Bright Angel Canyon over the weekend of Aug. 29 and left a mess that tourists, local businesses and park staff will worry about for months. The immediate damage and the unfolding response from the […] More

Rebecca Cooke’s campaign pitch is simple and catchy: a hardworking waitress from a dairy-farm background who knows what it means to struggle. The problem for her is that a recently filed personal financial-disclosure form tells a different, less hardscrabble story — and timing, as they say, is everything in politics. What the disclosure actually shows […] More

Mayor Zohran Mamdani lit a political fuse this week when a short clip of his interviews went viral.

Axios’s new reporting says House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is facing real anger inside his own party. Progressive House candidates and some members of the progressive wing are openly sour on his leadership.

The news out of Lee County, Florida, is ugly and simple: a Haitian national arrested on murder and sexual-battery charges is also the subject of an ICE detainer. Homeland Security is pointing a finger at the Biden administration’s immigration policies, and that finger lands where voters already expect it to. This week’s development — DHS […] More

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation quietly backed down this week after a leaked memo ignited a firestorm. CBC’s senior journalistic standards office announced an exception to its rule requiring attribution before calling certain events “terrorism,” allowing reporters to call the Sept. 11 attacks terrorism without always quoting an authority. In plain English: after being roasted online […] More

At the Republican Jewish Coalition National Leadership Summit this week, U.S. Representative Randy Fine (R–Florida) told Alex Marlow, Editor‑in‑Chief, Breitbart News that he will keep calling U.S. politicians who rhetorically support Hamas “terrorists.” The exchange — reported by conservative media — boiled down to a simple, blunt claim: if you cheer for or refuse to […] More

Wisconsin has quietly joined a high‑stakes legal fight over the federal “public charge” rule. The state’s attorney general signed on to a multistate lawsuit challenging the Department of Homeland Security’s new rule that would let immigration officers consider a wider range of public benefits when deciding green card applications. The rule is set to take […] More

Glenn Beck did what he does best: take a pop-culture line and use it as a battering ram against two very different news stories. On his program he flipped the old Spider-Man proverb — “With great power comes great responsibility” — on its head to ask what happens when responsibility is shifted away from people […] More

The Department of Homeland Security just dropped a big enforcement action in Memphis and made sure everyone heard about it. ICE New Orleans led “Operation Corral Light” at El Corralón nightclub and, according to DHS, arrested 121 people.

The Kennedy Center is suddenly at the center of a legal and political flashpoint — and a federal judge just put a short legal leash on anyone thinking they can tear it down overnight. The recent minute order from the court and the now-famous photos of President Donald Trump reviewing material labeled “DEMOLISHED” have kicked […] More

The BBC this week aired a hard‑hitting investigative documentary that brings fresh on‑camera allegations against actor and musician Jared Leto. Ten women are reported to have spoken to the film, and several describe encounters in the 2000s and 2010s that they say were inappropriate or illegal. Leto’s representatives have denied the claims. This development is […] More

Senator John Fetterman stepped onstage this week on Sean Hannity’s show and did something rare in his party: he called out the Democratic Socialists of America by name. His words were sharp and plain. He told viewers the DSA is “deeply anti‑American,” anti‑capitalist, and even accused them of wanting to “impoverish middle‑class whites.” That punch […] More

Governor Kathy Hochul’s short visit to an Islamic cultural center in Upper Manhattan turned into a viral moment this week when video showed her with a headscarf and barefoot in the prayer space.

The latest flare-up in the Middle East shows why vigilance matters. U.S. forces struck rocket launchers on Larak Island after observing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) preparing rockets armed with sea mines for the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM says the strike was limited and meant to stop mine-laying that would threaten civilian ships and […] More
