California voters want to keep the state’s independent redistricting commission in place, even as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) pushes to redraw the maps by giving redistricting power to California‘s Democratic legislators, a new poll revealed.

Newsom wants to redraw the state’s lines in a way that favors Democrats to combat President Donald Trump’s push for Texas lawmakers to do the same in a way that favors Republicans.

A POLITICO-Citrin Center-Possibility Lab survey found that 36% of registered voters in California support returning congressional redistricting authority to state lawmakers. Sixty-four percent of voters in the state want to keep the commission.

Newly declassified Top Secret emails sent on December 22, 2016 complying with President Obama’s order to create the manufactured January 2017 ICA about Russia expose how DNI James Clapper demanded the IC fall in line behind the Russia Hoax. Clapper admits that it was a “team sport” that required “compromise on our ‘normal modalities’”.

When the Director of National Intelligence tells people to “compromise normal procedures” for a “team sport,” that’s not intelligence – that’s conspiracy.

Residents in parts of Washington DC took to the streets Wednesday to protest President Donald Trump’s takeover of the city’s police department and the surge of federal officers and National Guard troops. The demonstrations, marked by chants and calls for drivers to avoid police checkpoints, came as the White House defended the month-long federal control as necessary to combat crime, despite city data showing violent crime at a decades-low, reported AP.

The Justice Department on Tuesday accused George Washington University of showing “deliberate indifference” toward antisemitism and harassment of Jewish, American Israeli, and Israeli students and faculty, in violation of federal civil rights law.

In a notice of findings sent to GWU President Ellen Granberg, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division said the university failed to take meaningful action despite receiving multiple complaints about antisemitic incidents in spring 2024, when pro-Palestinian protesters descended on campus. Some protesters were seen in videos threatening and harassing Jewish students. Investigators concluded the university violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars discrimination by recipients of federal funding.

There’s been a lot of discussion lately about the growing political and cultural divide between men and women, particularly among young people. Of course, the top-line narrative is that young men are becoming more conservative and turning to faith, while young women are growing more secular and liberal.

It’s a generalization to be sure, but it stems from what our culture has done to boys and girls. Society teaches our girls to be “grrrrrrl bosses” and be powerful, but it erases boys, medicating them to oblivion if they exhibit any sign of boyishness and teaching them that they’re less than valuable.

A hypothetical matchup for governor of New York is tightening, according to results showing a MAGA congresswoman coming closer to striking distance against Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul.

If the election were held today, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) would finish 14 points behind Hochul. However, the contest is 15 months away, and the gap represents the smallest since news first emerged that Stefanik was considering a bid for the state’s corner office.

The Siena College poll also asked about Lee Zeldin, President Trump’s energy secretary, who ran for governor of New York in 2021. He trails Hochul by 11 points, the smallest margin of any Republican candidate on record.

Inflation numbers released Tuesday beat economists’ expectations, sending one CNN anchor into an emotional tailspin as she attempted to explain away why President Donald Trump keeps winning each news cycle.

The July consumer price index (CPI) report showed that total energy prices fell 1.1% while food prices held steady and shelter ticked up 0.2%. Gas prices dropped 2.2%, an anomaly for a summer month where a record number of Americans travel during the summer holiday season, but also a reflection of a global economic slowdown.

On CNN, a morning anchor could barely stifle her surprise that Americans aren’t feeling a greater pinch at the grocery store after countless economic experts warned about the shock that President Trump’s tariffs would have on food prices.

A Washington, D.C., city councilman accused of running a $156,000 bribery scheme is attacking President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of the city’s law enforcement.

The remarks from Trayon White come even as the Democrat lawmaker awaits trial on serious corruption charges.

White, 41, was sworn back into the council on Friday after winning a special election in July.

It comes months after he was expelled by his colleagues over his federal indictment.

A man with ties to an anti-Israel group called Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation (DAMPL) was arrested in Massachusetts this week after vandalizing the Massachusetts Statehouse, as well as buildings at MIT. It was later discovered that he had also left improvised explosive devices on Boston Common.

July’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report indicates that inflation is cooling more than expected, providing a boost to stock futures and placing greater weight on the U.S. dollar.

Consumer prices rose 2.7 percent in the 12 months since last July. This matched the 12-month period since June and came in below the expected rate of 2.8 percent. Core CPI, often considered a more accurate reading of long-term trends in the economy, rose .3 percent and 3.1 percent from a year ago.

Shelter costs ticked up 0.2 percent, accounting for most of the index’s gain, according to the BLS. Food prices held steady, while energy prices dropped 1.1 percent.

Last Thursday, a Baltimore city circuit judge sentenced Patrick Brice to one year of home detention and three years’ probation after his infamous assault on elderly pro-lifers Mark Crosby and Richard Schaefer.

The grisly assault garnered headlines when on May 26, 2023, Brice, who was 28 years old at the time, savagely battered Crosby, who was 73, and Schaefer, who was 84.

Crosby and Schaefer, who are both devout Catholics, were outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic in downtown Baltimore handing out gift bags to women with information regarding alternatives to abortion.

Brice approached Schaefer and began debating the men over their pro-life views. Schaefer appeared to walk away when Brice suddenly tackled him into a large flowerpot, knocking the elderly man unconscious.

When Crosby went to help Schaefer, Brice shoved him to the ground, then mounted him and punched him in the face. After standing up, Brice forcefully kicked Crosby in the face.

A top talent at ABC News admitted she was recently the victim of a violent crime in Washington, D.C., underscoring the need for a greater law enforcement presence in the nation’s capital.

Kyra Phillips, who has been with the network since 2018, recalled on Monday her recent encounter with a “half-dressed” man who mugged her in downtown D.C. She cited the instance as a “firsthand” experience felt by many others as they brave the pedestrian commute to work each day.

“I can tell you firsthand here in downtown DC, where we work, right here around our bureau, just in the past six months, you know, there were two people shot, one person died, literally two blocks down here from the bureau,” Phillips explained.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released July’s Consumer Price Index this morning, and the numbers tell a complicated story. While overall inflation held steady at 2.7 percent annually, core inflation—the measure that strips out volatile food and energy prices—accelerated to 3.1 percent, its highest level since March and well above the Federal Reserve’s 2 percent target.

Donald Trump did a thing, causing Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) to have a knee-jerk reaction to said thing that they didn’t think through. Washington DC is a cesspool edition: Trump is against DC being a violent cesspool, so the media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) have to claim it isn’t. As Scott Jennings points out during another 4-on-1 handicapped match on CNN, no one is buying it.

Ponder this quote from yesterday as you continue: “Donald Trump has some of the best political instincts of any politician…”

Democrats and the media (again, I repeat myself) have decided on 30% as the statistic to claim Trump is spreading fake news, because, ACKSHUALLY, DC isn’t mostly violent anymore. It’s only very much violent. As Jennings says, good luck with that.

Whoops, wrong post. Here’s Jennings.

You know who also isn’t a fan of the alleged “30%?” Gregg Pemberton. He’s the chairman of the DC Police Union. You know, the guys who put their lives on the line every day they leave their families to go to work.

This is what Trump understands that the media and the Democrats (do I have to say it again?) refuse to. The Trump Admin is well aware of statistics claiming crime in D.C. “has fallen significantly from COVID-era highs.” And yet, residents of Washington DC don’t feel 30% safer than they did 30 years ago. According to a recent poll, half of the city says crime was an “extremely serious” problem, or at least “very serious.”

President Donald Trump’s decision to place the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., under federal control and deploy National Guard troops in response to the city’s escalating crime crisis has ignited a firestorm of predictable resistance from Democratic leaders and their media allies. Despite glaring evidence that crime spirals out of control in the nation’s capital, Democrats cling desperately to a narrative of declining violence, parroting doctored statistics and political spin as though doing so magically erases the reality that D.C. residents face.

During the first year of the Biden administration, NASA produced a comic book about how a “first woman and the first person of color will walk on the Moon.”

The agency followed that by publishing an additional graphic novel about the fictional character, Callie Rodriguez, and adding a “diverse crew” to join her, according to a NASA press release that quoted then-NASA Administrator Bill Nelson saying, “Diversity is at the core of NASA’s missions and the reason we continue breaking the boundaries of what’s possible. ‘First Woman’ embodies the rich history of countless women who broke barriers and continue to lead NASA to the stars.”

Local leaders in Cincinnati are calling for white victims of a brutal downtown mob attack to face charges.

However, the city’s police union says the move is politically motivated and undermines the integrity of the investigation.

The July 26 assault at the corner of Fourth and Elm Streets left six people injured and sparked national outrage after video of the beating went viral.

All seven individuals arrested in the attack are African American.

Despite prosecutors identifying the white individuals targeted in the incident as victims, Democrat Ohio state Rep. Cecil Thomas and other city officials are demanding additional arrests.

A Kentucky man who was sentenced to 14 years in prison last year but was put back on the street five months after his sentencing has been arrested after a Louisville woman and her children were kidnapped at knifepoint.

Armond Langford. 32, was arrested Friday after a six-hour manhunt, according to WHAS-TV.

Before his arrest, a woman and her two children were kidnapped. The woman said she was forced to drive to a bank as Langford demanded $20,000.

“He opened our back door and told them to get in the car…. They got in the car. They drove to the bank. He held a knife at her the whole time, he was telling her to drive faster,” Brandon Strong, husband and father of the victims, told the TV station.

President Donald Trump told The Daily Signal he plans to work with Congress to extend the 30-day federalization of the Washington, D.C., police force.

“If it’s a national emergency, we can do it without Congress, but we expect to be before Congress very quickly,” Trump said at a press conference at the Kennedy Center. “And again, we think the Democrats will not do anything to stop crime, but we think the Republicans will do it almost unanimously.”

On Monday, Trump declared a state of emergency in Washington under the Home Rule Act, which allows the president to federalize the metropolitan police for 30 days. He said he plans to ask for “long-term extensions” because 30 days is not long enough.

Elon Musk’s “anti-woke” AI chatbot, Grok, has repeatedly claimed this week that President Donald Trump is Washington D.C.’s “most notorious criminal.”

Elon Musk’s Grok AI responded to user questions about crime in the U.S. capital by asserting that Trump’s felony convictions in New York have earned him the title of the city’s most notorious lawbreaker. The chatbot’s statements come in the wake of Trump’s announcement on Monday, in which he declared plans to federalize D.C.’s police department and deploy National Guard soldiers to the city’s streets, citing what he claims to be an “out of control” crime situation.

A bombshell new medical review warns that Covid shots, especially mRNA injections, are quietly fueling a surge in “sudden unnatural deaths,” hitting even young, healthy people with no prior warning signs.

The researchers sound the alarm of a “ticking time bomb” as Covid-vaccinated people who appear healthy continue to die suddenly and unexpectedly.

The multi-country research team was led by Dr. Sakshitha Potluri of Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences in India.

They pulled together peer-reviewed studies, global surveillance data, autopsy reports, and genetic research.

Their conclusion is explosive: these vaccines can trigger overlapping heart and brain failures that end in instant and fatal collapse.

In a recent study, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin examined data from Aid Access. This self-identifying “non-profit” telehealth abortion service ships Mifepristone and misoprostol to women in all 50 states. The authors of the study claimed that telemedicine has become a crucial access point for lower-income pregnant women seeking abortions.

Oh, the ignorance of the highly educated. 

The study’s glowing headline attempts to frame telehealth abortion as a lifeline for the poor. But when you pull back the curtain, you find a system that offloads risk onto women, shields abortionists from accountability, and leaves some of the most vulnerable in our society alone in pain, sometimes delivering fully formed babies into toilets.

After Roe v. Wade was mercifully overturned in 2022, Aid Access saw usage of its services spike in states with strong pro-life protections. The study found that telehealth abortions were more than twice as high in these states. Why? Abortion providers are skirting protective pro-life laws by mailing pills into states where unfettered abortion is no longer the law of the land.

The latest episode of HBO Max’s hit series Hard Knocks featured a powerful segment on a Buffalo Bills player’s Christian faith.

The moment came during this season’s second episode, which aired on the aforementioned streaming service Tuesday night. The episode featured profiles on several prominent Bills players, including safety Damar Hamlin.

Most Americans are likely familiar with Hamlin from Buffalo’s January 2023 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, during which he had to be driven off the field in an ambulance after abruptly going into cardiac arrest. The University of Pittsburgh alum appears to have made a full recovery in the years since, and returned to the Bills’ lineup as a regular starter in 2024.

While the Hard Knocks segment on Hamlin mentions his freak accident and charitable advocacy for CPR training, the more significant part of the profile is the focus on his Christian faith.

President Donald Trump had the presidential and legal authority to terminate billions of taxpayer dollars to the U.S Agency for International Development (USAID) and its countless overseas pet projects, the Washington D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed this week.

Ever since Trump issued his day-one executive order effectively freezing USAID’s wasting of Americans’ hard-earned dollars, judges have encroached on his presidential authority by hampering his power to impound, or “decline to spend the full amount of an appropriated fund.”

In its 2-1 ruling published on Wednesday, the D.C. Circuit Court not only reversed those attempts, but also paved the way to limit the number of lawsuits and subsequent injunctions designed to keep Trump from doing his job by curbing American subsidization of covert programs like Iraqi “Sesame Street,” LGBT initiatives abroad, and even meals for terrorists.
