FBI Director Kash Patel claimed that Smith’s collection of Wiles’ phone records ‘extended into [her] time as Trump’s co-campaign manager.’
Following in the footsteps of his former boss, President Joe Biden’s FBI surveilled a member of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign leading up to the 2024 election, according to a new bombshell report.
Paul Kingsnorth’s latest book, Against the Machine: On the Unmaking of Humanity, has the makings of a classic that may help us all rediscover faith and virtue.
It would be an understatement to say that the modern world has not been conducive to human flourishing. There is a sense that every humanizing influence is replaced with artificial interventions, causing life to become scripted, mechanized, quantified, and commoditized.
Blue states, and blue cities, have gone floridly and relentlessly insane. There is no problem they can solve.
The night after President Donald Trump’s tough and confrontational State of the Union Address, I drove over to Downtown Los Angeles and spent several hours walking laps around an office building. The FBI was supposed to be inside, serving search warrants on the office of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, while other agents searched his home. No one has said yet what the FBI is investigating, but there are theories.
What saved me was not affirmation of untruth but affirmation of reality.
Today, I spend my time taking my children ice skating, walking them through the park, and making art — painting, embroidery, anything that feels grounded and real. But a decade ago, I could not have imagined this life. Sexually assaulted at a young age and growing up in an alcoholic home, my childhood was anything but stable. In that vulnerable state, as a pubescent girl, I was conned into believing that altering my body would fix my trauma.
The ’60 Minutes’ report fixates on a semantic issue while conceding the underlying reality of violence against white farmers in South Africa.
In the latest airing of 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper delivered what may be one of the most spectacular media self-owns in recent years. The segment was constructed around a single objective: dismantling President Trump’s claim that more than 1,000 white South African farmers were buried along a rural road marked by white crosses. Trump had shown footage of those crosses during the May 2025 White House visit of Cyril Ramaphosa, arguing that the scale of killings targeting white farmers was so severe that it warranted international attention and, in his view, amounted to genocide.
The judges let Congress off the hook, further incentivizing the legislature’s dereliction while effectively usurping power from the political branches of government.
Many have disagreed with the rationale for the Trump tariffs, lamented their content and consequences, and been alarmed about the president’s expansive use of emergency powers to impose them. But the Supreme Court’s ruling challenging them ought to be alarming because it allows Congress’s dereliction of duty to continue while tipping the balance of power even further toward the judiciary.
Consider what other ideologies aim to dissociate a person from their body to the point of physical mutilation.
Unless you’re chronically online, you’ve probably never heard of the Gen Z influencer “Clavicular.” Within a year, his fame will likely fade, and within five, he’ll seem like a fever dream. But he matters now because he represents something deeper: a generation of young men who have abandoned traditional masculinity for self-destructive vanity.
Democrats do not want the specious nature of their charge of racism to be revealed, let alone adjudicated.
If voter ID requirements truly threaten civil rights, it follows that many other civil rights are also threatened. Identification is needed throughout American society, including for transportation, accommodation, and housing — historical battlegrounds for civil rights.
If we want serious solutions to mass public violence, we must first confront the facts honestly and debate them openly.
We’re repeatedly told that transgender-identifying individuals are not prone to commit gun violence. Major outlets — including the The New York Times, AP, CNN, and The Washington Post — publish articles arguing that transgender attacks are extremely rare and run headlines calling out conservative bias: “The right exploits Nashville shooting to escalate anti-trans rhetoric” and “Conservatives use Minneapolis shooting in anti-transgender campaigns.”
Given current political divisions, an Article V convention of states would do more harm than good at solving the nation’s problems.
“Anything you can do, I can do better,” the famous duet from the musical “Annie Get Your Gun,” comes to mind as Republicans in blue states watch their red congressional districts disappear because Democrats turned the tables on President Donald Trump’s plan to push mid-decade redistricting to make it easier for the GOP to hold the House majority. Once Republican states decided to employ this strategy, Democrats would have been derelict not to do the same.
It’s unclear whether some Republicans are willing to do what it takes to protect their constituents from Big Tech’s data center land grab.
There is a growing cost-of-living issue that Republicans would be wise to confront if they hope to have any success in winning elections this November.
Elon Musk has joined a chorus of conservatives pushing for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., to force Democrats into a talking filibuster in order to pass the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of U.S. citizenship and photo ID to vote in federal elections.
