An investigation was opened this past August into whether former Special Counsel Jack Smith violated the Hatch Act during his investigation of President Donald Trump. Smith found himself back in the news this month after two FBI agents who previously worked under the former special counsel were fired.  Smith team analyzed phone records of GOP lawmakers — House Judiciary GOP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@JudiciaryGOP) As Breitbart reported, Jordan sent a letter to Smith’s which explained that his “testimony is necessary to understand the full extent to which the Biden-Harris Justice Department weaponized federal law enforcement.” https://twitter.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1978148008303735229?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw “Among the disturbing tactics employed in…

Keira Knightley’s Defiant Stand and the Turning Point in Activism Keira Knightley’s refusal to bow to LGBT activists shows that transgender extremism has peaked. The moment cut through the usual swirl of outrage and counter-outrage, and it landed with a lot of ordinary people who are tired of public shaming. This isn’t about name-calling; it’s about whether artists will be pressured into silence for expressing ordinary views. For years a vocal minority set the rules in cultural spaces, demanding conformity from writers, performers, and directors. That tactic worked when institutions caved to avoid bad press, but it also produced backlash…

Don’t blame the enforcement of the law; blame the Democrat lawlessness that made enforcement necessary. When politicians soften rules, ignore borders, and prioritize politics over public safety, enforcement becomes the reaction to a problem they created. Pointing fingers at officers or agents misses the real story: someone turned a manageable issue into a crisis. Enforcement shows up where policy fails. Too often the left frames enforcement as heavy-handed while excusing the policies that let crime and chaos spread. Sanctuary city rules, lax border controls, and soft-on-crime rhetoric are not neutral choices; they shift the burden onto honest citizens and law…

Green-energy mandates and Obamacare have been major drains on families and small businesses, bloating costs and limiting choices. They pushed expensive promises onto ordinary people and distorted markets meant to serve them. President Trump deserves credit for confronting both problems head on and forcing a national conversation about fixing them. Green-energy policy, as it stood, mixed heavy-handed mandates with generous subsidies, rewarding political favors more than innovation. That approach drove up utility bills, complicated grid management, and left communities dependent on unreliable handouts. Conservatives argue the better answer is a neutral market that rewards low-cost, reliable power from any source…

Trump Denies Financial Times Account That He Told Zelensky Putin Would “Destroy” Him President Trump flatly rejected a Financial Times story that painted his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a dramatic confrontation. The FT called the encounter a “shouting match” and reported that Trump warned Zelensky Putin would “destroy” him if he did not capitulate. From a Republican vantage this reads like a classic example of a media outlet chasing a sensational angle instead of presenting verifiable facts. The article leans on unnamed sources and dramatic language that demand skepticism before being accepted as truth. Voters deserve evidence,…

Thanks, Chuck! Schumer Shutdown Leads to Record GOP Fundraising Money decides elections more than slogans do, and right now donors are reading the room. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s shutdown moved the conversation from policy to panic, and Republicans are reaping the rewards. As the Schumer Shutdown slides into a third week, grassroots donors and big-money supporters alike have been quick to respond. What looks like miscalculated theater to many voters has translated into a steady stream of contributions to GOP coffers. And that’s exactly what’s happening as we enter our third week of the Schumer Shutdown: House Republicans’ campaign…

Bitcoin rises 2.5%, retakes $111,000, pushing crypto stocks higher as markets steady after October sell-off Bitcoin jumped about 2.5% on Monday to reclaim roughly $111,000, nudging crypto-related equities upward after a turbulent October. The lift suggested traders were treating the recent pullback as a temporary wobble rather than the start of a fresh downtrend. Markets showed a lighter tone into the afternoon as investors reassessed positions. “Bitcoin is currently in a re-accumulation phase following its short-term correction, with market sentiment stabilizing and institutional demand remaining resilient,” Linh Tran, market analyst at online broker XS.com, wrote on Monday. MicroStrategy stock climbed…

Brooklyn neighbors smelled foul odor before head and torso were found in building trash Residents of a Brooklyn apartment building said a foul odor hung around one unit for several days, and police later found human remains in the building’s garbage. The discovery shocked neighbors and drew officers to the scene. Police say a man’s head and torso were found wrapped in plastic inside a trash bag outside a unit on East 21st Street; authorities say the bags had been dumped at about 9:15 a.m. on Friday. The building superintendent reportedly saw a tenant place the garbage bags into the…

President Donald Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office this week, and multiple accounts say he urged Zelensky to accept Russia’s peace terms. The public portion of the visit was cordial, but sources report the private session turned tense and erupted into a shouting match. It was a stark reminder that diplomacy often plays out far differently behind closed doors. Zelensky came to Washington pressing for long-range Tomahawk missiles to regain lost ground, yet he left without a clear pledge from the administration. Refusing or delaying those arms marks a shift in posture that matters on the…

Jewish Lawyer Accuses Metropolitan Police of Arrest Over Star of David A Jewish lawyer has accused London’s Metropolitan Police of arresting him at a pro-Palestine protest for wearing a Star of David necklace. He says officers singled him out because of the religious symbol and detained him while other demonstrators remained free. That allegation immediately turns this into a freedom fight about religion and policing. From a conservative perspective, wearing a faith symbol should never be grounds for detention. Republicans back law and order, but not when enforcement looks like selective punishment. We expect officers to protect speech and safety…
