The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government holds a hearing on the inaccuracies of the 2020 census counting illegal aliens on Wednesday, November 19.

“The census’s counting of illegal immigrants is unconstitutional, leads to inaccurate results and the disenfranchisement of American voters in certain states, and benefits states that intentionally disregard federal immigration law via ‘sanctuary’ policies,” the committee noted.

The hearing will also examine how the Census Bureau’s counting errors “benefitted mostly blue states” and privatization of data “may have led to inaccurate population estimates in the 2020 census.”

Democrats were left with a heaping helping of egg on their face after another attempt to link President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein failed, forcing them to scramble to delete the flimsy “evidence” involving their latest baseless claim.

The Democratic National Committee’s official X account on Thursday posted and then quickly deleted a claim alleging the President spent Thanksgiving 2017 with Jeffrey Epstein.

Using incredibly out-of-context emails, the DNC made it clear that they were offering evidence that “documents show Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein in 2017.”

Whoever pushed out that message clearly struggles with reading comprehension and didn’t for a moment wonder about the plausibility of the leader of the free world sneaking out of Turkey Day celebrations to pal around with a convicted sex offender for a few hours … without anybody noticing.

The BBC’s boss and its head of news quit on Sunday following criticism over bias at the British broadcaster, including in the way it edited a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The BBC had been under mounting pressure after an internal report by a former standards adviser was leaked to the Daily Telegraph newspaper which cited failings in its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, trans issues and a speech made by Trump.

The White House had recently denounced the broadcaster as a “propaganda machine” after its flagship Panorama program was found to have edited two parts of Trump’s speech together so he appeared to encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021.

Tim Davie, who has led the British Broadcasting Corporation since 2020, said he decided to leave after “reflecting on the very intense personal and professional demands of managing this role over many years in these febrile times”.

Texas has entered a new stage in enforcing its ban on gender transition procedures for minors, after a Dallas pediatrician accused of violating the law surrendered her medical license, state officials announced.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated that Dr. May Lau requested the cancellation of her license from the Texas Medical Board this month and the board approved the request. Paxton called the move “a major victory for our state” and said it “permanently bars Lau from experimenting on children in Texas in the future.”

The attorney general’s office sued Lau in October 2024, accusing her of illegally prescribing cross-sex hormones to 21 minors “for the direct purpose of ‘transitioning’ the child’s biological sex.”

A press release added that “The doctor allegedly used false diagnoses and billing codes to mask these unlawful prescriptions.”

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has appealed the case of licensed clinical social worker Rod Theis to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, arguing that an Oregon school engaged in discrimination and violated his right to express his beliefs like other staffers.

Theis has worked with the InterMountain Service District in Oregon for 17 years. Theis is an education specialist, a position that requires him to travel to the 17 school districts that InterMountain serves. He administers standardized tests to students and evaluates their academic level and behavioral assessments to determine their needs.

The schools Theis works in provide him an office to perform the assessments, where his only interaction with students is administering the tests. His office is marked with a sign which reads “Staff Only”.

BEIJING: China said on Monday (Nov 10) it would suspend for one year “special port fees” on US vessels “simultaneously” with Washington’s pause on levies targeting Chinese ships, as a fragile trade truce between the superpowers continues to take shape.

The United States and China have been involved in a volatile trade and tariff war for months, but agreed to walk back some punitive measures after presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump met last month in South Korea.

At one point, duties on both sides had reached prohibitive triple-digit levels, hampering trade between the world’s two largest economies and snarling global supply chains.

The suspension of the port fees, which applied to ships operated by or built in the United States that visited Chinese ports, began at 1.01pm (5.01am GMT) on Monday, a transport ministry statement said.

A federal appeals court upheld a Florida law on Tuesday that restricts Chinese nationals and entities affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from making land purchases in the state.

In a 2-1 ruling, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the group of Chinese nationals challenging parts of the law (SB 264) lacked standing to bring their suit. The decision comes after the district court denied plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction blocking the statute’s enforcement.

“After careful review, and with the benefit of oral argument, we affirm the denial of the plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motion as to the registration and affidavit requirements. But we reverse and remand for the district court to deny the preliminary injunction motion without prejudice as to the purchase restriction because none of the plaintiffs have shown they have standing to challenge that provision of SB 264,” the ruling reads. The majority opinion noted how several of the plaintiffs, although they are Chinese citizens, were not “domiciled” in China, and therefore their efforts to purchase property falls outside the scope of the law.

Oregon Right to Life (ORTL) scored a victory for the unborn last Friday when a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in its favor.

In June, ORTL filed a complaint arguing that the Appeals Court should throw out a Clinton-appointed district judge’s ruling last year that denied its request to be exempt from a 2017 Oregon state law that would have forced it to pay for abortions and contraception. Lois Anderson, ORTL’s executive director, argued that covering abortions via health insurance was an attack on their religious liberty.

“The attempt by the state to force Oregon Right to Life to finance abortion — the precise human rights violation we are dedicated to opposing — is blatantly unconstitutional and obviously unjust,” she said this past summer.

Trump-appointed Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke wrote the 2-1 majority opinion for the Appeals Court. Obama-appointee Circuit Judge John Owens agreed with him that the case should be sent back to the lower court for further investigation. Senior Circuit Judge Mary Schroeder, an 84-year-old Jimmy Carter appointee, dissented, claiming that the group was not inherently a religious organization.

Key Takeaways

  • A Monroe County Community College administrator approved a Turning Point USA chapter despite the student government voting against it, citing free expression.
  • Vice President Scott Behrens emphasized that his decision was made after discussions with student government members and the prospective club president, who assured adherence to college policies and respect for all students.

A Michigan community college has approved a Turning Point USA chapter after the student government voted to reject it, with an administrator overriding the decision in the name of free expression.

Last week, the Monroe County Community College student government association voted 8-3 against approving the chapter, according to a news release from the school.

Despite the vote, Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Success Scott Behrens used his final authority under school policy to approve the group and emailed the student government president and the club’s prospective advisor, Barry Kinsey, to confirm.

Memory problems may not be an unavoidable part of getting older. New findings from Virginia Tech reveal that age-related memory loss stems from specific molecular changes in the brain, and that fine-tuning these processes can help restore memory function.

In two complementary studies, Timothy Jarome, an associate professor in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences’ School of Animal Sciences, and his graduate students used advanced gene-editing tools to target these molecular changes and improve memory performance in older rats. Rats are commonly used as models for understanding how memory declines with age.

“Memory loss affects more than a third of people over 70, and it’s a major risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease,” said Jarome, who also serves in the School of Neuroscience. “This work shows that memory decline is linked to specific molecular changes that can be targeted and studied. If we can understand what’s driving it at the molecular level, we can start to understand what goes wrong in dementia and eventually use that knowledge to guide new approaches to treatment.”

President Donald Trump has moved to cut U.S. fentanyl-related tariffs on Chinese goods in half, following last month’s in-person meeting with China’s leader Xi Jinping in South Korea.

Under a new executive order issued on Tuesday, the tariff will drop from 20 percent to 10 percent beginning November 10.

In the order, Trump stated:

“The PRC [People’s Republic of China] has committed to take significant measures to end the flow of fentanyl to the United States, including stopping the shipment of certain designated chemicals to North America and strictly controlling exports of certain other chemicals to all destinations in the world.”

Trump and Xi met on October 30 on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Busan, South Korea.

After the meeting, Trump said he believed Beijing would take “strong action” to stem the supply of precursor chemicals used to manufacture fentanyl.

Key Takeaways

  • University of Chicago Professor Eman Abdelhadi faces charges of aggravated battery against a police officer during her participation in protests at an ICE detention facility.
  • Abdelhadi was arrested in October and then released on bail. She is scheduled back in court later this month.
  • She has a history of contentious statements about her university and political figures, including telling the late Vice President Dick Cheney to ‘rest in hell.’

University of Chicago Professor Eman Abdelhadi is scheduled to be back in court Nov. 21 after she was charged by the state of Illinois with aggravated battery against a police officer in October.

Her arrest and charges stem from the sociology professor’s involvement in weeks-long protests outside an ICE detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. She is charged with two felony counts of aggravated battery allegedly against a police officer, as well as two misdemeanor counts of obstructing the peace.

A Democratic Party lawmaker suffered a crushing electoral defeat and is out of her job after sending an unhinged, threatening voicemail to Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) this past July.

The voicemail, which was sent shortly after Sheehy and the majority of his Republican colleagues advanced the Trump-backed “Big Beautiful Bill” spending package that enshrined a number of the president’s most important campaign promises, was sent by Haley McKnight, a candidate for city commissioner in the Montana capital of Helena.

“Hi, this is Haley McKnight. I’m a constituent in Helena, Montana,” McKnight began in her message, which was obtained and reviewed by Fox News. “I just wanted to let you know that you are the most insufferable kind of coward and thief. You just stripped away healthcare for 17 million Americans, and I hope you’re really proud of that. I hope that one day you get pancreatic cancer, and it spreads throughout your body so fast that they can’t even treat you for it.”

President Donald Trump clearly has the climate cultists and green grifters among his top targets during his very busy second term, which began with his signing an executive order in January to halt new or renewed offshore wind leases.

Now it looks like the plug is going to be pulled from a massive offshore East Coast wind farm project.

Back in September, I reported that federal regulators were moving to revoke approval of SouthCoast Wind’s construction and operations plan, the final major permit required before offshore turbine installation. The project, located about 23 miles south of Nantucket, was slated to build up to 141 turbines supposedly capable of powering roughly 840,000 homes in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

A federal judge has now ruled that the Trump administration may proceed with revoking federal permits for the project.

The Trump administration signaled its intent to reconsider the permit in September, claiming that the Environmental Impact Statement for the project may have “understated or obfuscated impacts” that would possibly result in noncompliance with the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.

District Court for the District of Columbia judge Tanya Chutkan, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, ruled in favor of the White House Tuesday, saying that the project developers would not suffer from “immediate and significant hardship” if the administration proceeded with the reconsideration.

COLUMBUS, OH — A new bill introduced in the Ohio Senate aims to align state law with what could become a major shift in federal firearms policy. Senate Bill 303, sponsored by Sen. Terry Johnson and backed by the Buckeye Firearms Association (BFA), would allow adults ages 18 to 20 to legally purchase handguns from federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs).

Under current federal law, licensed dealers are prohibited from selling handguns to individuals under the age of 21. However, a growing number of legal challenges argue that this restriction is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court may soon weigh in, and Ohio lawmakers are preparing in advance.

“Sen. Johnson’s bill will not change federal law,” said BFA Executive Director Dean Rieck. “But it will prepare Ohio for the coming Supreme Court challenge to change the law regarding handgun purchases for those 18 to 20 years old.”

One of the most notorious tactics employed by left-wing agitators during their so-called “peaceful protests” is to try and conceal their identities by wearing a bandana or scarf that partially covers their faces, ski mask-style facial coverings, or some type of character mask that obscures pretty much everything but their eyes.

More recently in Portland, however, the nightly rabble rousers have, in many instances, begun wearing full costumes in front of the city’s ICE facility as a way to distract and deceive federal law enforcement, something we also saw during some of the “No Kings” protests in mid-October.

Here are a couple of examples:

President Donald Trump’s vow to go “guns blazing” in defense of persecuted Nigerian Christians highlights a brutal crisis the media continues to ignore, as over 100,000 Christians have been slaughtered by Boko Haram and other Islamic extremists since 2009, while Church officials like Cardinal Pietro Parolin downplay it as mere “social conflict.” Meanwhile, a growing generational shift occurs as Gen Z men embrace traditional faith and reject woke ideology. From Bill Gates walking back climate hysteria to Russia’s defense of the family, there seems to be a global pivot from elite lies toward moral clarity.

On Tuesday, in several elections where they were already expected to win, the Democrats bragged that they beat the GOP on “affordability.”

Of the Democrats who will be charged with making America more affordable, now: a socialist mayor-elect in New York City who doesn’t seem to have the slightest idea of how New York City or economics works; a governor-elect in Virginia who doesn’t have the gumption to stand up against a kiddie-assassination fantasist, much less more palatable but still unconscionably free-spending members her own party; and a governor in New Jersey who will likely continue to pursue the same policies that have given the state the eighth-highest cost of living in the nation.

All of these people said they were running against President Donald Trump, who’s been in office for less than a year now.

A new Pentagon policy will severely restrict the ability of so-called transgender members of the Armed Forces to avoid discharge by convincing a separation board to retain them on active duty. Under previous policy, transgenders identified for discharge could appeal to a separation board to overturn the administrative process. The new policy permits commanders to set aside the separation board recommendation and require discharge.

One of President Trump’s earliest acts was to issue an executive order titled Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness. This order revoked a Joe Biden, or perhaps an autopenned, executive order which had encouraged transgenders to join the military and protected those currently on duty; see Executive Order 14004—Enabling All Qualified Americans to Serve Their Country in Uniform. That, in turn, had revoked an memorandum issued by President Trump during his first term that barred transgenders from service; see Presidential Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security Regarding Military Service by Transgender Individuals.

[Let me digress here for a moment to examine how the administrative process works under Republican versus Democrat administrations. Biden was able to revoke a Trump memo without issue. On the other hand, the memo written by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano that created the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals, or DACA/Dreamer, program has proved impervious to all attacks. Go figure.]

The current estimate is that about 4,200 transgenders haunt the ranks and about 1,000 of those have requested voluntary separation.

I reported on the preview clips from the 60 Minutes interview that President Donald Trump did with Norah O’Donnell that aired Sunday night. The first two clips were not promising as to whether CBS made a change in how they will be approaching things. One was “What are you doing as president to end the shutdown?” It isn’t up to Trump; it’s up to the Democrats who are behind the government closure. O’Donnell also asked what Trump would do if China attacked Taiwan. Now, that seemed a pretty ridiculous question, because he’s not going to tell her how he would respond, and give away our plans. He made it obvious that it was not something that China would like, which is the only way to answer that question.

Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gil has filed articles of impeachment against US District Judge James Boasberg amid revelations that the Obama-appointed activist approved secret subpoenas to seize private phone records of Senators in the sham “Arctic Frost” investigation.

It was revealed last week that the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies to dig up dirt on Republicans and activists who participated in efforts to overturn the rigged 2020 election.

As previously reported, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley said last week that “197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions.”

The subpoenas requested records and communications related to over 430 individuals and organizations – all aimed at Republicans.

President Trump on Tuesday called California’s Proposition 50 a “giant scam” and revealed that the Golden State’s mail-in ballots are under “serious legal and criminal review.”

Governor Gavin Newsom and the Democrat-controlled state Legislature placed the Prop 50 constitutional amendment on California’s 2025 special election ballot in August.

It authorizes a temporary override of California’s independent redistricting process for congressional districts, allowing the Democrat-controlled Legislature to gerrymander new maps starting with the 2026 midterm elections.

“The Unconstitutional Redistricting Vote in California is a GIANT SCAM in that the entire process, in particular the Voting itself, is RIGGED,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “All ‘Mail-In’ Ballots, where the Republicans in that State are ‘Shut Out,’ is under very serious legal and criminal review,” he added. “STAY TUNED.”

Amid a sea of cowards in Europe and elsewhere, President Donald Trump has become the first major world leader to recognize the ongoing genocide in Nigeria.

As RedState reported, in a social media post, he called the situation an “existential threat” to Christians in the region and designated the African nation a “country of particular concern.” That alone isn’t very meaningful because it only pushes diplomatic lines. In a later post, though, he spoke more directly, threatening to go in “guns-a-blazing” to deal with the Islamic terrorists committing these atrocities.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—New York Attorney General Letitia James is fighting a federal criminal probe over alleged “selective enforcement” in cases she brought against President Donald Trump’s business and the National Rifle Association (NRA), court documents unsealed Friday reveal.

James’s effort to block subpoenas issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) touches “on matters of national concern, with implications that stretch well beyond this action,” Judge Lorna Schofield, an Obama appointee, wrote in her order making the filings public Friday.

“Unsealing this action is not only permissible but compelled,” the judge wrote. “One simple fact drives this conclusion: the information at issue is not secret.”

In August 2025, it was widely reported that acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York John A. Sarcone III issued subpoenas related to James’s civil fraud case against Trump and his company, along with her case against the National Rifle Association (NRA).

James was indicted in October in a separate mortgage fraud probe in Virginia, where she faces two charges for alleged bank fraud and false statements to a financial institution.

President Donald Trump said that the Nigerian government better “move fast” to protect Christians being persecuted in the country, or the U.S. will.

The president threatened to send troops into the country “guns-a-blazing” to wipe out Islamic terrorists who are killing Christians in Nigeria, he posted on Truth Social.

 

The U.S. gave Nigeria about $1 billion in 2022 and 2023, according to a U.S. Department of State tracker.

On Friday, Trump designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern via the Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

This comes as the city of Portland and the state of Oregon recommit to their status as sanctuaries for illegal immigrants in the face of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal migration.

Several illegal aliens involved with the Tren de Aragua terror group were apprehended in Portland, Oregon, during a high-risk operation involving the illicit sales of drugs, firearms, and ammunition. The suspects, who were originally residing in Chicago, are believed to have moved to Portland just over a month ago in response to immigration enforcement operations increasing in the Windy City, federal investigators say.

US Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) breached a Portland apartment unit the group was suspected of using as a “stash house” on October 24, taking the ringleader into custody, along with seven other accomplices, all of whom are illegally present in the United States and have suspected ties to Tren de Aragua, according to authorities.

The wanna-be world czar Bill Gates signaled to the world that the climate change hoax jig was up after admitting “The doomsday outlook is causing much of the climate community to focus too much on near-term emissions goals, and it’s diverting resources from the most effective things we should be doing to improve life in a warming world. The biggest problems are poverty and disease, just as they always have been.”

This signals a potential shift in globalist strategy from promising to save the world from human greed and the brown people from the white devil, they’re going to go back to the basics, economic class. President Trump wasn’t letting Gates surrender so gently, however.

He quipped back, “I (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax. Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue,” he added. “It took courage to do so, and for that we are all grateful. MAGA!!!”

Only Donald Trump didn’t speak softly. He bluntly warned that rejection of the party of far-right libertarian Javier Milei would imperil Washington’s $20 billion lifeline for a peso that’s teetering.
