Throughout his career, Cao has held various government roles, including at the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. He will be reporting to Secretary of the Navy-designate John Phelan, who is also awaiting Senate confirmation. President Trump announced…

Lester Holt, the longtime face of NBC Nightly News, is stepping down as anchor and managing editor after a decade in the role. Holt, who has been a staple of mainstream media, will now dedicate his time solely to Dateline, a program he has worked on for 15 years. In typical media fashion, Holt framed his departure as a celebration of his success, boasting, “A smile comes to my face when I think that with Nightly News and Dateline, I have now anchored two of the most successful and iconic television news programs in broadcast history.” However, for many Americans,…

Democrats often resort to threatening or justifying violence to push their political agendas. The Trump Department of Justice recently emphasized that inciting language, especially threats against public officials, will not be tolerated. This stance has upset Rep. Robert Garcia from California, who has been vocal in his criticism. Garcia previously warned that if Trump were re-elected, he would “destroy this country, our democracy.” He has since broadened his criticism to include Elon Musk. At a congressional hearing, Garcia accused Musk of overstepping his bounds and undermining presidential authority. Garcia’s rhetoric escalated when he stated, “Bring actual weapons to this bar…

Notably, Senators Jerry Moran, Dan Sullivan, Cory Booker, and Gary Peters chose not to participate in the voting process. Lutnick’s appointment underscores his backing of Trump’s trade policies.

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals recently put an end to President Biden’s plan to forgive student loans, a move that would have cost taxpayers a staggering $500 million. This legal challenge came from Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, alongside other states like Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Dakota, Ohio, and Oklahoma. The decision emphasizes the importance of following judicial rulings instead of sidestepping them. Following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a broad plan to cancel federal student loan debt, President Biden seemed undeterred. He introduced multiple smaller initiatives, all designed to alleviate borrower stress but ultimately passing the…

Hazmat-suited emergency responders hurriedly moved two patients from a Manhattan urgent care center to Bellevue Hospital, raising alarms over possible Ebola exposure. This incident unfolded at a CityMD facility on East 125th Street and Lexington Avenue, where the patients had visited for medical help. The individuals had recently returned from Uganda, a region historically troubled by Ebola outbreaks, and showed symptoms that fit the disease’s profile. Despite the initial scare, health officials later downplayed the Ebola concern, suggesting that norovirus might be the actual culprit behind the illness. Reports indicated that the two patients from Madagascar had possible Ebola symptoms,…

Social media censorship surrounding COVID-19 vaccine injuries has reportedly led to tragic outcomes, including suicides, according to vaccine victims and their advocates. Many individuals have claimed to suffer from vaccine-related injuries and struggled to find support due to online censorship. This lack of support reportedly pushed some to such despair that they took their own lives. Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin explained on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show that Facebook has begun providing him with information about the alleged censorship of groups discussing vaccine injuries. Johnson stated, “We have heard from representatives of Facebook. They understand now…

The White House tackled some serious concerns this week about the staggering amount of taxpayer money that’s been lost to fraudulent Medicaid and Medicare payments. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed these issues during a briefing, following a congressional subcommittee’s investigation into government waste. This investigation, led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, has uncovered some eye-opening numbers. Rep. Greene, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee, has reported findings of $2.7 trillion in improper and fraudulent government payments. That’s a mind-boggling sum of money that could have been used for countless important causes. The committee is working hard to expose…

Elon Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, took a jab at liberal media outlets after they got caught up in the nickname of one of DOGE’s team members. The media’s attention was quickly drawn to this nickname, making it viral in no time. Musk, along with President Donald Trump’s administration, has faced scrutiny from these outlets over DOGE’s mission to uncover government waste and inefficiency. As DOGE continued to reveal cases of fraud and abuse within various federal agencies, left-leaning media only intensified their attacks. Instead of focusing on the issues at hand, they shifted their attention…

The unions are gearing up to stop the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from digging into the Labor Department’s systems. A federal judge recently tossed out an attempt to block DOGE from accessing sensitive data. Though the court has its doubts about DOGE’s conduct, it ruled that the unions haven’t shown enough legal grounds to keep the lawsuit going. Judge John Bates pointed out that we’re talking about the medical and financial records of millions of Americans. Still, the unions didn’t make a strong enough case to prove their standing. The lawsuit, brought by groups like the AFL-CIO, claims that…
