Mace asks DOJ to intervene in fatal shooting of young SC woman allegedly killed by serial criminal South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace is pushing hard for federal involvement after a young woman, Logan Federico, was allegedly killed in her sleep and her identity and cards used in an apparent crime spree. The case reads like a scary pattern: break-ins to steal credit cards followed by brazen shopping runs, and the suspect, Alexander Dickey, reportedly carried a long rap sheet. For Republicans who care about victims and public safety, the obvious question is why federal resources are not full throttle on…

Jerry Jones Admits He Made a Mistake After Flipping Off Fans During Cowboys Win Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones acknowledged Tuesday that he made a mistake after being photographed flipping the middle finger to fans during his team’s win over the New York Jets. The image spread quickly on social media and became the dominant image from the game for many viewers.

Families Urge Nobel Committee to Honor Trump for Hostage Returns and Peace Efforts Families of hostages still held in Gaza, together with relatives of those already returned, made a direct appeal to the Norwegian Nobel Committee that sounds like a demand more than a request. They spoke with “a profound sense of momentous urgency,” praising a leader they say acted with clarity and muscle to change the impossible. Their message is simple and bold: they believe President Trump’s determination “made possible what many said was impossible” and that “in this past year, no leader or organization has contributed more to…

Inside the Bust: How a Global Phone-Smuggling Ring Was Dismantled London police have taken down an international gang accused of shipping tens of thousands of stolen phones from the UK to China over the past year, and the scale is jaw-dropping. The suspects are blamed for moving as many as 40,000 handsets in that period, a volume that authorities say may account for up to 40 percent of phone theft in the city. The Metropolitan Police described the crackdown as its “largest ever operation to tackle phone theft in London.” The investigation began when a victim traced a stolen iPhone…

Alan Dershowitz Says Jack Smith ‘Disgraced Himself’ After Tracking GOP Senators’ Calls Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard Law professor emeritus, told Fox Business that former special counsel Jack Smith “disgrace himself” for reportedly obtaining private phone records tied to Republican senators. The charge landed like a thunderclap in a Washington still sensitive about law, privacy, and political weaponization. Republicans say this is not just a scandal; it is a constitutional wound that needs fixing. Senate Republicans Monday that the FBI used grand jury subpoenas in 2023 to seize phone records from nine GOP senators, and the revelation has Republican lawmakers demanding…

A judge just denied Elon Musk’s attempt to have the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit that he is facing moved out of Washington, D.C.

Background This dispute centers on whether Elon Musk followed disclosure rules when his stake in Twitter, now X, was growing in early 2022. JUST IN: Judge Sparkle Sooknanan shoots down Elon Musk’s bid to…

Sanctuary for Predators: How Gender Ideology Shields Criminals Across the country, alarming reports suggest that some violent criminals are using gender ideology as a defensive shield. This isn’t a theory, it’s a pattern emerging in courtrooms, prisons, and institutions where policy outpaces common sense. Conservatives should call it what it is: a loophole that rewards exploitation and endangers victims. When identity policies are written without clear safety safeguards, they create gaps predators can exploit. Rules meant to protect dignity were turned into a legal buffer that blurs lines of accountability. The result is a perverse incentive for manipulators to claim…

Virginia AG Race Explodes After Leaked Texts Virginia politics just hit a boiling point after private messages from Democratic attorney general candidate Jay Jones surfaced and set off a fierce reaction from Republican leaders. Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson publicly demanded Jones withdraw from the race, saying the messages crossed a line no serious candidate should cross. What started as a private exchange has become a test of standards, accountability, and whether Democrats will choose principle over politics. The messages in question were exchanged with Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner and contain striking hypotheticals that imagine violence…

Stories like this make people ask the same blunt question: who is protecting kids when adults in positions of trust are accused of the worst crimes? A man who styled himself as “Ms. Sharon” and drove a school bus is now behind bars, accused of exploiting his access to teenagers and turning a place of safety into a crime scene. The details are painful, the arrests are real, and the instinct to defend children must be stronger than any ideological cover. Authorities in North Carolina arrested 48-year-old Leetwain Darrell Tate after allegations surfaced that he sexually assaulted several boys he…

There have been more than 1,500 shooting victims–fatal and non-fatal combined–in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago thus far in 2025. This figure is not a statistic to bury in a report, it is a daily reality for neighborhoods that are losing people, businesses, and hope. Families are grieving and residents are asking simple questions about safety and leadership. Walk through the South and West sides and the mood is obvious: frustration and fear. Voters did not elect a mayor to explain tragedies away, they elected someone to stop them. When leadership calls for patience more than action, citizens rightly demand…
