Legal experts handed Trump a surefire win that Democrats are freaking out about

Everything is litigated these days. But at the end of the tunnel is justice.

And now legal experts handed Trump a surefire win that Democrats are freaking out about.

Strengthening Federal Authority to Combat Crime and Illegal Immigration

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled that President Donald Trump’s deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles in June 2025 violated the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibits the military from engaging in domestic law enforcement without specific exceptions. The deployment, aimed at supporting immigration enforcement amid protests, involved troops setting up perimeters, controlling crowds, and accompanying federal agents on operations like raids on marijuana farms and “Operation Excalibur” in MacArthur Park.

Breyer, a Clinton appointee, argued that these actions constituted illegal law enforcement, rejecting the administration’s claim that troops were merely protecting federal personnel and property. However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit temporarily paused Breyer’s ruling, and legal experts suggest Trump’s approach may ultimately be upheld by the Supreme Court, affirming his authority to address pressing issues like illegal immigration and urban crime.

Trump’s strategy reflects a robust use of executive power to restore order in cities facing challenges from illegal immigration and crime. By federalizing the California National Guard under Title 10, Section 12406, Trump aimed to protect federal operations and ensure public safety, a move aligned with his broader agenda to secure borders and reduce urban violence. The administration’s actions in Los Angeles, and plans for cities like Chicago, New York, and Baltimore, demonstrate a commitment to leveraging federal resources when local governments fail to act decisively.

Legal Defense of Presidential Prerogative

Legal experts argue that Trump’s deployment aligns with the president’s constitutional authority to protect federal interests, particularly in contexts of public unrest. Attorney Gerard Filitti of the Lawfare Project criticized Breyer’s ruling, stating, “The judge treated ordinary crowd control as if it were unlawful ‘law enforcement.’ That’s simply not the law. The Guard wasn’t arresting people or running police investigations — they were stabilizing the situation so ICE could do its job.”

Filitti’s point clarifies that the National Guard’s role was to enable federal agents to execute immigration laws, not to supplant local police, a distinction Breyer’s ruling overlooked. This interpretation supports Trump’s position that his actions fall within exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act, such as protecting federal functions, and aligns with historical precedents where presidents have used military forces to address domestic crises.

Andrew Stoltman, an adjunct law professor at Northwestern University, predicted that the Supreme Court, which has frequently supported Trump in 2025 rulings, will likely validate his authority.

“I think ultimately he will be given the legal green light to do so,” Stoltman said, noting the Court’s tendency to grant presidents broad deference in military matters. This deference is rooted in the Constitution’s designation of the president as commander-in-chief, empowering Trump to deploy federalized troops to safeguard national interests, especially when local resistance hampers federal enforcement. The Ninth Circuit’s pause on Breyer’s order signals judicial skepticism of overly restrictive interpretations, bolstering Trump’s case as it heads toward higher courts.

Proven Success and Local Resistance

Trump’s deployment of federal forces, including the National Guard, in Washington, D.C., offers a model for his Los Angeles strategy, yielding tangible results. D.C. has seen a 40% drop in carjackings and a 27% reduction in violent crime compared to the previous year, with Mayor Muriel Bowser formalizing cooperation with federal agencies. This success contrasts with resistance from Democratic leaders like California Governor Gavin Newsom and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who have challenged Trump’s authority.

Newsom’s lawsuit, which led to Breyer’s ruling, and Pritzker’s opposition to potential Chicago deployments reflect a pattern of blue-state obstructionism that critics argue prioritizes political posturing over public safety. Stoltman suggested that leaders like Pritzker are “making a big mistake” by rejecting federal assistance in cities with persistent crime issues, such as Chicago’s high murder rate.

Filitti warned that upholding Breyer’s ruling could set a precedent allowing states to block federal law enforcement by refusing cooperation, undermining the Constitution’s balance of power.

“That’s not how the Constitution works, and it’s not how you keep Americans safe,” he said. Trump’s approach, by contrast, prioritizes federal supremacy in addressing illegal immigration and crime, ensuring that federal laws are enforced even in resistant jurisdictions. His use of Title 10, rather than the Insurrection Act, demonstrates a measured approach, avoiding broader emergency powers while still achieving enforcement goals.

Addressing Immediate Threats, Not Root Causes

While critics argue Trump’s deployments target Democratic strongholds and overlook structural issues like understaffed police forces or lenient prosecutorial policies, supporters contend that immediate action is necessary to curb illegal immigration and violent crime.

Zack Smith of the Heritage Foundation noted that D.C.’s success demonstrates the effectiveness of a strong federal presence, stating, “One of the most effective ways to combat violent crime is to have police officers on the street who are empowered to appropriately do their jobs.” Smith acknowledged that long-term solutions require addressing systemic issues but argued that Trump’s strategy provides critical short-term relief, particularly in cities overwhelmed by illegal immigration’s strain on resources.

Trump’s focus on immigration enforcement, as seen in Los Angeles, directly tackles the public safety risks posed by unchecked illegal immigration, which can exacerbate local crime and overburden communities. By deploying the National Guard to support ICE operations, Trump ensures that federal priorities, such as deporting illegal immigrants, are not thwarted by local protests or sanctuary policies. As the Supreme Court considers this issue, its recent pro-Trump rulings suggest a likelihood of affirming his authority, reinforcing his ability to act decisively to protect American cities and borders.

Ted Cruz knocks Biden to his knees with a spine-tingling rebuke

Senator Cruz is calling out the former president. He knows how bad the previous administration was for this country.

And Ted Cruz knocks Biden to his knees with a spine-tingling rebuke.

The Biden administration’s final days were marked by a shocking abuse of power that threatens the very foundation of our constitutional republic. Reports have surfaced that former President Joe Biden and his team used an autopen—a mechanical signature device—to ram through thousands of pardons and commutations, sidestepping the sacred checks and balances meant to protect the American people. This isn’t just bureaucratic laziness; it’s a deliberate attack on the rule of law.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has taken a bold stand against this outrage, penning a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, first collected by Fox News Digital. He’s calling out Biden and his inner circle for what he sees as a blatant violation of the Constitution’s requirements for presidential pardons.

“These core Constitutional requirements, considerations, and expectations were demolished in the final months of the Biden administration for partisan and personal motives by President Biden, his family, and his top officials,” Cruz declared.

The numbers alone are staggering. In December, Biden’s team commuted the sentences of roughly 1,500 inmates and pardoned 39 others. Then, in a jaw-dropping move, they issued another 2,500 commutations in a single day—the most ever by any president. This wasn’t a thoughtful act of mercy; it was a rushed, politically charged fire sale of clemency that reeks of agenda-driven governance.

As a key member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and chair of the Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights, Cruz is stepping up to demand accountability. He’s offered to assist Bondi in ongoing investigations a suspected abuse of the autopen. The presidential pardon power, laid out in Article II, Section 2, requires a direct chain of custody from the president himself.

“Everyone involved in the process — government officials purporting to issue a pardon, the person to whom it is being granted, judicial and law enforcement officials, and most of all the American people — should have absolute confidence a pardon was granted at the president’s explicit direction,” Cruz stated. Yet, evidence suggests Biden may not have been directly involved, casting a dark shadow over the legitimacy of these actions.

A bombshell report from Axios uncovered emails showing that even Biden’s own officials were uneasy about the process. They raised concerns about how pardons were selected and the heavy reliance on the autopen. This wasn’t a careful, case-by-case evaluation but a blanket approach based on broad criteria, raising questions about who benefited and why.

Cruz didn’t hold back, warning that Biden’s team “implemented a process that separated the President from officials responsible for signing pardons on his behalf.” This disconnect means those signing the pardons “could not know if they were doing so at the President’s direction, either on a-case-by-case basis or as a matter of criteria,” he stated. That’s not just sloppy—it’s a potential constitutional crisis.

The implications are massive. If Biden wasn’t personally directing these pardons, their validity could be in question. Cruz warned that this risks eroding public trust in the entire clemency process. “If the integrity of the clemency process was broken by Biden officials, such that the relevant actions were not taken at the President’s direction, the status of the pardons and commutations would at a minimum be cast into doubt, and the officials involved in approving and using the autopens should be held accountable,” he said.

This scandal exposes a deeper rot in Washington, where elites think they can bend the rules to suit their agendas. The autopen’s use suggests a cavalier attitude toward one of the president’s most solemn duties. Were these mass commutations a desperate bid to burnish Biden’s legacy or a favor to political allies? The American people deserve answers.

Cruz’s push for transparency is a rallying cry for patriots who believe in the Constitution’s enduring principles. The pardon power isn’t a toy for bureaucrats to play with—it’s a sacred trust that demands accountability. By relying on a machine to sign off on thousands of clemencies, Biden’s team treated justice like an assembly line, not a deliberate act of mercy.

The Justice Department is already investigating, and Cruz’s leadership ensures this won’t be swept under the rug. If it’s proven that Biden’s team acted without proper authority, the legal fallout could be seismic, potentially invalidating thousands of pardons and commutations. This isn’t just about one administration’s missteps—it’s about protecting our system from future abuses.

For too long, the establishment has assumed they can operate without scrutiny. Cruz’s stand is a reminder that the American people won’t tolerate their Constitution being trampled. The pardon process must be transparent, deliberate, and above reproach—not a backroom deal signed by a machine.

This fight is about more than just pardons; it’s about restoring faith in our institutions. The Biden administration’s reckless actions have cast doubt on the integrity of our government, and it’s up to leaders like Cruz to hold them accountable. The American people are watching, and they demand a system that respects the rule of law.

As investigations unfold, the pressure is on to uncover the truth. Was this a calculated move to push a partisan agenda, or simply gross incompetence? Either way, those responsible must face consequences. The Constitution isn’t a suggestion—it’s the bedrock of our nation, and it’s time to defend it.

Cruz’s letter is a call to action for every citizen who values justice and accountability. The Biden autopen scandal is a wake-up call: we can’t let Washington elites erode our constitutional protections.

Disgraced FBI official sold out the United States for the Biden family

Disgraced FBI official sold out the United States for the Biden family

The FBI should only have allegiance to this country and out Constitution. Instead, many of them have been compromised.

And now a disgraced FBI official sold out the United States for the Biden family.

Betrayal at the Top: FBI Official’s Leak Undermines Investigation

A Justice Department watchdog revealed that Charles McGonigal, a former high-ranking FBI official, compromised a sensitive criminal investigation by leaking details about planned arrests tied to the China Energy Fund Committee (CEFC), a group with business ties to the Biden family.

McGonigal, who led the FBI’s New York counterintelligence division from 2016 to 2018, was sentenced to 50 months in prison in 2023 for colluding with a Russian oligarch to evade U.S. sanctions. His actions, detailed in a DOJ Inspector General report released Thursday, exposed a breach of trust that disrupted a critical probe.

A Web of Warnings: How the Leak Spread

In June 2017, McGonigal met with an Albanian official, referred to as “Person B,” who worked for CEFC. During the meeting, McGonigal hinted at the FBI’s investigation, saying “something to the effect of ‘we are looking into them’ or ‘we are going after them,’” according to Person B’s 2022 FBI proffer interview.

Person B interpreted “we” as the FBI and “them” as CEFC or its affiliates. The next day, Person B traveled to Washington, D.C., and alerted CEFC executive Patrick Ho about potential arrests.

Ho was later warned by CEFC China Chairman Ye Jianming, who passed the information to another FBI target, “Target 3.” At the time, the investigation was highly confidential, known only to a small group of government personnel. In November 2017, Person B contacted McGonigal again, hesitant to attend a CEFC-sponsored event in New York due to the ongoing probe.

McGonigal advised, “Stay in Albania,” adding, “we are ready for them” or “ready for action.” While Person B claimed not to have shared this second tip, Ho attended the event and was arrested on bribery and money laundering charges upon arriving in the U.S.

Biden Family Ties and Private Investigations

Documents from the House Oversight Committee reveal that Hunter Biden, who called CEFC vice-chairman Patrick Ho the “f–king spy chief of China,” was retained by Ho for $1 million to provide “Counsel to matters related to US law and advice pertaining to the hiring and legal analysis of any US Law Firm or Lawyer.”

Hunter noted that deals with CEFC would be “interesting for me and my family,” with Hunter and his uncle James Biden earning $4.8 million from CEFC China Energy in 2017 and 2018. Amid the leaks, James Biden sought information about Ho’s status, emailing a retired Secret Service agent turned private investigator in November 2017 with the subject line, “Re new case I need ASAP—I’m in Hong Kong.”

The email requested a background check on Ho, citing concerns about a possible arrest warrant. The investigator, unable to find an active warrant, cautioned James Biden that such information could be sensitive and not always accessible.

James Biden later testified to Congress in February 2024, denying any intent to inform Ho, stating, “Absolutely not,” and claiming he sought the information “for my own edification.”

The Inspector General report does not accuse James Biden of wrongdoing and omits mention of Hunter Biden.

The report condemned McGonigal’s actions, stating, “McGonigal’s actions, while he served as a high-ranking FBI official entrusted with overseeing sensitive counterintelligence and criminal matters, were extraordinary and dishonored the FBI’s core values of integrity, accountability, and leadership expected of all FBI personnel.”

His leaks, the report concluded, “intentionally damaged an important criminal case, violated the public trust, and compromised the integrity of the FBI.”

President Trump is set to decide on massive military strikes against this foreign nation

America’s enemies are always up to something. And sometimes a swift attack is the only option.

Now President Trump is set to decide on massive military strikes against this foreign nation.

Trump Weighs Military Strikes Against Venezuelan Cartels

President Trump is weighing the option of launching precision military strikes inside Venezuela, targeting powerful drug cartels that prop up dictator Nicolás Maduro’s crumbling regime.

The move would signal a bold escalation in Washington’s ongoing campaign to curb the flow of narcotics into the United States while tightening pressure on Maduro’s illegitimate hold on power.

Although Trump has not yet ordered direct strikes on Venezuelan soil, U.S. officials confirmed that Tuesday’s destruction of a cartel-operated smuggling vessel—carried out by American forces—was only the beginning of a larger effort to dismantle the Maduro-backed narco-state.

“The preferred course of action is for Maduro to leave on his own, to read the tea leaves,” one source familiar with the administration’s thinking explained. “And then I think the message is ‘Do you want it to be easy or do you want it to be hard?’”

U.S. Forces Step Up in the Caribbean

The U.S. Navy has reinforced its presence in the Caribbean with at least eight warships, reflecting Trump’s hardline stance against cartels operating under the Venezuelan flag.

Acting on Trump’s orders, U.S. forces carried out an airstrike against a boat crewed by “positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists,” eliminating all 11 aboard.

Venezuelan forces attempted to respond by flying warplanes over an American ship in what the Pentagon called a “highly provocative move.” Trump’s answer was blunt: “I don’t want to talk about that, but if they do put us in a dangerous position, they’ll be shot down.”

To bolster America’s position, sources confirmed that 10 F-35 fighter jets will soon be stationed in Puerto Rico, a deployment meant to send a clear message to Maduro and his cartel allies.

Cracking Down on Maduro’s Narco-State

While Trump emphasized that regime change is not his stated goal, he pointed to Venezuela’s fraudulent elections, remarking, “We’re not talking about that. But we are talking about the fact that \[Venezuela] had an election, which was a very strange election, to put it mildly.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt went further, calling Maduro’s government illegitimate: “The Maduro regime is not the legitimate government of Venezuela. It is a narco-terror cartel, and Maduro, it is the view of this administration, is not a legitimate president. He is a fugitive head of this cartel who has been indicted in the United States for trafficking drugs into the country.”

She added that Trump “is prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and to bring those responsible to justice.”

Trump hit the mainstream media with a backhanded compliment that left Republicans grinning

The media has never been a big fan of Trump. Now he’s dishing it back at them again.

And Trump hit the mainstream media with a backhanded compliment that left Republicans grinning.

Trump Praises Press While Dismissing Health Rumors

President Donald Trump offered rare praise for the media during a Friday night dinner with congressional leaders at the White House’s renovated Rose Garden, while sharply rebuking recent speculation about his health. Addressing rumors that he was in poor health or deceased, Trump attributed the frenzy to his brief absence from press conferences, emphasizing his active schedule and robust health.

Trump recounted hosting eight press conferences in consecutive days, stating, “I did about eight press conferences … day after day after day. Then I missed one because I was in the Oval Office, and I also went out to the club because I had meetings at a club, and they saw that I was, and the rumor started, this horrible rumor that Trump is no longer with us.”

He noted that media outlets questioned his well-being after he skipped a single day, saying, “They said … I got to the club, ‘Sir, are you okay? Are you okay?’ The fake news was at it again.” To counter the speculation, Trump held a three-hour press conference on Friday, discussing a proposal to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War, citing U.S. victories in World War I, World War II, and other conflicts.

Trump’s No-Nonsense Media Strategy

Trump’s approach to the media has been characterized by direct engagement and a refusal to let narratives go unchallenged. His Friday remarks reflect a strategy of confronting speculation head-on, often with a mix of humor and defiance. The health rumors, which gained traction on social media with hashtags like #trumpisdead, were fueled by his brief absence from public view and visible swelling in his legs, later diagnosed as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on July 17, 2025, that Trump, 79, underwent a comprehensive examination after noticing mild leg swelling, with tests confirming CVI, a benign condition common in older adults. The White House also addressed bruising on Trump’s hand, attributing it to frequent handshaking and aspirin use, not a cover-up as some speculated.

Trump’s response to these rumors—engaging directly with reporters and using platforms like Truth Social—demonstrates his no-nonsense tactic of bypassing traditional media filters. At the Rose Garden dinner, he maintained an amicable tone but didn’t shy from calling out what he termed “fake news” for amplifying unfounded claims.

His decision to hold an extended press conference on Friday to discuss policy, like the Department of Defense name change, underscores his approach of redirecting attention to his agenda while dismissing distractions.

This aligns with his broader pattern of using marathon press events and social media to control the narrative, a tactic he employed during the 2024 campaign to contrast his vigor with President Joe Biden’s perceived frailty.

Health Claims and Congressional Praise

The president also highlighted praise from Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), a former White House physician, whom he called an “unbelievable doctor.” Trump relayed Jackson’s assertion that he was healthier than former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, stating, “He said, ‘There’s not even a contest by far. The healthiest is President Donald J. Trump.’ I said, I love that guy. I’m sure that Bush and Obama don’t feel the same way, but who the hell cares?” The anecdote reflects Trump’s tendency to leverage endorsements to bolster his image, especially amid health scrutiny.

The health rumors peaked after Trump’s absence from public view following a cabinet meeting on August 26, 2025, prompting Fox News reporter Peter Doocy to raise the issue at a Tuesday press conference. Trump dismissed the speculation, noting his packed schedule, including an hour-and-a-half interview and multiple Truth Social posts, saying, “I was very active over the weekend.”

His physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, reiterated in a July memo that Trump’s CVI diagnosis showed no signs of serious conditions like deep vein thrombosis, with all tests within normal limits, affirming, “President Trump remains in excellent health.”

The dinner, attended by congressional leaders, showcased Trump’s ability to balance policy discussions with media critiques. While proposing a symbolic shift to rename the Department of Defense, he maintained a lighthearted tone, contrasting with his typically combative media interactions. The event underscores his strategy of using high-profile settings to project strength and dismiss detractors, ensuring his narrative dominates public discourse.

The Federal Reserve is on lockdown after the DOJ launched a massive investigation

The Fed has been scrutinized for years. But this could be the straw that breaks its back.

And the Federal Reserve is on lockdown after the DOJ launched a massive investigation.

Justice Department Pursues Accountability in Cook Probe

The U.S. Justice Department, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, has launched a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook for alleged mortgage fraud, issuing grand jury subpoenas in Georgia and Michigan.

The probe, prompted by a criminal referral from Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, a Trump appointee, focuses on whether Cook misrepresented multiple properties as her primary residence to secure lower mortgage interest rates before joining the Fed in 2022.

A source familiar with the matter told The Post that a grand jury in Atlanta is actively examining Cook, with an indictment considered likely.

Trump’s Decisive Action on Fed Integrity

President Trump moved to remove Cook from her Federal Reserve post last week, citing her “deceitful and criminal conduct in a financial matter” as grounds for termination.

The allegations, detailed by Pulte, claim Cook falsely listed properties in Michigan and Georgia as primary residences in 2021, potentially violating federal law.

DOJ lawyer Yaakov Roth, defending Trump’s action, argued in court that intentional misstatements constitute criminal conduct, and even negligent errors render Cook unfit for her role, providing sufficient cause for her dismissal.

Roth dismissed Cook’s claim that prior disclosures during her Senate confirmation negate the issue, emphasizing that the gravity of the allegations justifies the administration’s response.

Cook’s Defense Faces DOJ Scrutiny

Cook, who owns properties in Michigan, Georgia, and Massachusetts, filed a lawsuit to block her termination, arguing that Trump lacks authority to fire her and that any inconsistencies in her mortgage applications were a “clerical error.”

Her attorney, Abbe Lowell, claimed during a Friday hearing before D.C. District Judge Jia Cobb that Cook is being targeted as part of Trump’s push to influence Federal Reserve interest rate policies.

However, the Justice Department, led by special assistant U.S. attorney Ed Martin and supported by U.S. Attorneys’ offices in Georgia and Michigan, is rigorously pursuing the investigation.

Martin’s role, appointed by Bondi, focuses on mortgage fraud by public officials, ensuring a thorough examination of Cook’s actions.

Former Biden official ended this Democrat’s career with one brutal takedown

The Left’s infighting is reaching a fever pitch. Now it’s gotten to a point where the entire Democrat Party could collapse.

Because a former Biden official ended this Democrat’s career with one brutal takedown.

Focusing on Constituent Priorities

Yemisi Egbewole, a former Biden White House aide who served as press office chief of staff, criticized Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) on “Fox & Friends” for her anti-Israel remarks, stating that the congresswoman is neglecting her Michigan constituents’ needs for activist rhetoric.

“Rashida Tlaib does not sound like a sitting member of Congress. She sounds like an activist who has no responsibility to the people who elected her,” Egbewole said.

Representing Michigan’s 13th district, Tlaib was elected to address issues like job creation, infrastructure, and crime reduction.

Egbewole noted that voters in Detroit and surrounding areas prioritize “economic opportunity, infrastructure, having crime down [and] safety in their communities,” not Tlaib’s focus on Palestinian issues, despite her role as the first Palestinian-American in Congress.

Tlaib’s Controversial Speech

On September 1, 2025, at a pro-Palestinian conference in Detroit, Tlaib delivered a speech targeting Israel and its supporters.

“They thought they could kill us, r-pe us, imprison us, violently uproot us from our olive tree farms, starve our children to death, and we would disappear. Well guess what? Now we’re in Congress, and we’re in every corner of the United States,” she said.

“They just don’t get it. They will never truly comprehend, even after seven decades, that we aren’t going anywhere. We are just getting started.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Tlaib’s office for comment but received no response. The 13th district faces challenges like a 30% poverty rate and high violent crime, based on 2024 data.

Supporting Trump’s Law-and-Order Agenda

Egbewole also addressed the Democratic Party’s struggles with public safety, stating they are “underwater” on “law enforcement and law and order.”

This aligns with President Donald Trump’s push to curb crime, including his proposal to send National Guard troops to Chicago, which has faced opposition from Illinois Democrats.

Trump’s policies, such as achieving record-low border apprehensions in July 2025 and military strikes against drug cartels, reflect a commitment to public safety.

Egbewole’s call for Tlaib to focus on local issues like economic growth and safer streets mirrors the priorities of Trump supporters, who back his efforts to strengthen communities and restore order in areas like Detroit, where 2024 reports noted ongoing infrastructure decay.

Democrats are losing their minds after a bombshell report proved their ship is sinking

The Left has been trying to dig out of the hole they’re in. But there may be no fixing it this time.

And they are losing their minds after a bombshell report proved their ship is sinking.

A New Generation Rejects Liberal Dogma

The political tide is turning, and America’s youth are leading the charge. After decades of the Democratic Party banking on the youth vote, a seismic shift is underway as Generation Z embraces conservatism in droves.

Kieran Laffey, a 19-year-old junior at George Washington University and chair of the GW College Republicans, captures the sentiment perfectly: “It’s starting to feel cool to be a conservative now.” This isn’t just a fleeting trend—it’s a rebellion against the suffocating grip of liberal ideology that’s dominated campuses and culture for years.

Gen Z, born between the late 1990s and early 2010s, is waking up to the realities of a world shaped by progressive overreach. “Younger people all over the country are kind of waking up,” Laffey said. For young men like him, the constant vilification from the left has backfired.

“Everything we’ve seen for the past, even decade, people like myself, young, white male – we’ve been completely demonized and almost hated and told that somehow we’re wrong, we’re racist or sexist,” he said. This resentment is fueling a conservative wave, with polls showing 18- to 21-year-olds favoring Republican candidates by nearly 12 points, a stark contrast to older Gen Zers who lean Democrat by just 6 points, according to a Spring 2025 Yale Youth Poll.

Trump’s Authenticity Fuels the Movement

At the heart of this shift is President Donald Trump, whose unapologetic style and America-first agenda have electrified young voters. Former Iowa state Rep. Joe Mitchell, a 28-year-old who founded Run GenZ to support young Republican candidates, credits Trump’s candidacy for the tidal wave.

“I think the one driving source was Donald J. Trump and his candidacy. If he was not the candidate, I don’t think we would have seen the massive switch in the youth vote that we did between 2016, 2020 to 2024,” Mitchell said. Trump’s authenticity—his refusal to bow to cancel culture or media scrutiny—has resonated with a generation craving real leadership.

The COVID-19 pandemic played a pivotal role in shaping younger Gen Zers’ views. Laffey, who was 14 when lockdowns hit, recalls the moment he began questioning the establishment: “I was a normal kid in high school, played hockey my whole life, hung out with my friends, and that all stopped. I started to realize, oh, who’s kind of pulling the strings here, what’s going on?”

The heavy-handed mandates, from masks to virtual schooling, exposed government overreach and pushed many young people toward conservatism. Unlike their older peers, who enjoyed pre-pandemic milestones like prom and sports, younger Gen Zers faced isolation and disruption, hardening their skepticism of liberal policies.

Social media has amplified this awakening. While liberals like Ryan Gaire, president of the College Democrats at Binghamton University, blame platforms like TikTok for spreading “blatant misinformation,” conservatives see them as tools for truth.

“Technology is everywhere, right at your fingertips, with TikTok and all that stuff,” Gaire said. “You can just see blatant misinformation and it’s not called out anymore.” But for Gen Z conservatives, these platforms offer unfiltered voices like Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, who’s helped make conservatism a cultural force. “We broke through the culture this election like we never have before,” Mitchell said.

Democrats’ Failure to Connect

The Democratic Party’s grip on young voters is slipping, and they have only themselves to blame. The What Happened 2024 report by Catalist shows a drop in youth support for Democrats, from 61% in 2020 to 55% in 2024. Voter registration tells an even bleaker story: Democrats lost 2.1 million registered voters between 2020 and 2024, while Republicans gained 2.4 million, per The New York Times. Gaire admits the party’s shortcomings: “When we talk about Gen Z shifting to the right and these kinds of things, even if I think the Trump campaign did do some good things in terms of reaching out to them … ultimately, it’s a failure of the Democratic Party.”

Gen Z’s conservative leanings extend beyond politics to social issues. They’re rejecting progressive sacred cows like transgender athletes in women’s sports and endless foreign aid to places like Ukraine. This generation, battered by pandemic isolation, a shaky economy, and soaring costs for housing and education, is done with lectures.

John Della Volpe, director of polling at Harvard’s Institute of Politics, nails it: “This is a generation that’s weathered pandemic isolation during formative years, entered an unstable economy, and faced skyrocketing housing and education costs — all while being told they’re not resilient enough. What Gen Z needs isn’t another lecture, but genuine recognition of their struggles and leaders willing to listen before they speak.”

Trump’s campaign tapped into this hunger for authenticity, leveraging influencers at the 2024 Republican National Convention to flood Instagram, TikTok, and X with content that spoke directly to young voters.

The Democrats, meanwhile, struggled to connect, their messaging drowned out by a generation that sees through their pandering. As Laffey and millions of his peers embrace conservatism, they’re not just voting differently—they’re reshaping America’s future, one unapologetic post at a time.

Heads are about to roll in Washington, D.C. after Trump made a shocking demand

The Swamp has never been more terrified. Their secrets could come out at any time.

And now heads are about roll in Washington, D.C. after Trump made a shocking demand.

A Call for Transparency

President Donald Trump is fed up with the endless back-and-forth over COVID-19 vaccines and is demanding straight answers from Big Pharma. In a fiery Truth Social post on Monday, he laid down the gauntlet:

“It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree! With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW.” Trump’s no-nonsense approach is a rallying cry for Americans tired of corporate secrecy and bureaucratic excuses.

The president’s frustration stems from what he sees as a deliberate lack of clarity from pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer. “I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public. Why not???” he wrote.

“They go off to the next ‘hunt’ and let everyone rip themselves apart, including Bobby Kennedy Jr. and CDC, trying to figure out the success or failure of the Drug Companies Covid work. They show me GREAT numbers and results, but they don’t seem to be showing them to many others. I want them to show them NOW, to CDC and the public, and clear up this MESS, one way or the other!!!” Trump’s demand for transparency resonates with millions who want the truth, not more spin.

Operation Warp Speed: Triumph or Question Mark?

Trump’s first term saw the launch of Operation Warp Speed, a bold initiative to fast-track COVID-19 vaccine development during the pandemic’s chaos. It was a high-stakes gamble that many credit with saving countless lives by delivering vaccines in record time. But doubts linger, and Trump isn’t shying away from the debate.

“I hope OPERATION WARP SPEED was as ‘BRILLIANT’ as many say it was. If not, we all want to know about it, and why???” he posted, underscoring his commitment to getting to the bottom of the vaccine’s legacy. “Thank you for your attention to this very important matter!”

The program’s results were staggering—vaccines rolled out in under a year, a feat unheard of in medical history. Yet skepticism persists, fueled by reports of side effects and questions about long-term efficacy. Trump’s push for answers aligns with his America-first ethos: no stone left unturned when it comes to protecting the people. His insistence on accountability is a stark contrast to the establishment’s tendency to dodge tough questions and move on.

A Surprising Ally and a Divided Debate

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vocal critic of Big Pharma, praised Trump’s stance. In a post on X, Kennedy thanked the president for his “commitment to Gold Standard Science.”

It’s a powerful alliance—Trump and Kennedy, both outsiders in their own way, demanding the truth from a system that’s often more about profit than people. Their partnership signals a new era of scrutiny for the pharmaceutical industry, one where corporate giants can’t hide behind glossy PR campaigns.

Even Sen. Bernie Sanders, no friend of the MAGA movement, couldn’t deny Operation Warp Speed’s impact.

“Mr. Trump: You were right about the success of Operation Warp Speed & the COVID vaccine when you said that it saved ‘tens of millions of lives.’ Vaccines have also helped eliminate polio, measles & smallpox. Don’t backtrack. Stick with the scientists, not conspiracy theorists,” Sanders wrote on X. It’s a rare moment of agreement from the left, acknowledging the program’s role in combating the pandemic.

But the debate isn’t settled. While some hail the vaccines as a miracle, others point to data showing adverse reactions, with over 1.5 million reports logged in the CDC’s VAERS database by mid-2025. Social media platforms like X are buzzing with firsthand accounts of vaccine injuries, fueling distrust. Trump’s call for clarity cuts through the noise, demanding that drug companies open their books and settle the score once and for all.

The fight for truth is classic Trump—bold, unrelenting, and unafraid to challenge entrenched powers.

His push to hold Big Pharma accountable is a wake-up call for Americans who’ve lost faith in institutions that seem to prioritize profits over people. As the debate over COVID vaccines rages on, Trump’s leadership is steering the nation toward answers, no matter how inconvenient they may be for the establishment.

President Trump deploying troops to dangerous location in a stunning twist

Trump is doing what he believes is in the best interest for America. But there are some risks at play.

And President Trump is deploying troops to a dangerous location in a stunning twist.

Trump Administration Set to Launch Major Immigration Operation in Chicago

The Trump administration is preparing an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, with plans to deploy over 200 Homeland Security officers to the city. The operation, expected to kick off in September, will utilize Naval Station Great Lakes, located near Chicago, as a central hub for logistical support, per the New York Times.

Tom Homan, President Trump’s appointed Border Czar, outlined the administration’s focus on intensifying enforcement in sanctuary cities like Chicago.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Homan said, “Look at the crime rate in Chicago. Operations will ramp up across the country, you’re going to see a ramp up of operations in Chicago, absolutely, you’re going to see a ramp up of operations in New York, you’re going to see a ramp up of operations continue in LA, and Portland, Seattle.”

He stressed the targeting of cities that limit cooperation with ICE, stating, “All these sanctuary cities that refuse to work with ICE, where we know public safety threats are being released every day into this country, especially those cities. We’re gonna address that.”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat, has fiercely opposed the planned operation, drawing parallels to previous federal actions.

“This plan seems to be a rerun of their tactics in Los Angeles, where ICE agents were used as a pretext to justify further escalation by federal agents and National Guard troops,” Johnson stated.

“We reject any attempts that put Chicagoans in danger as a means of furthering the president’s political ends.”

This move comes on the heels of a recent deployment of DHS officers and National Guard troops to Washington, DC, to tackle crime and immigration issues. President Trump signaled Chicago as a priority, stating it would be “next” on the list.

A senior DHS official said to the New York Post, “President Trump has been clear: we are going to make our streets and cities safe again. Across the country, DHS law enforcement are arresting and removing the worst of worst including gang members, m*rderers, p*dophiles, and r*pists that have terrorized American communities.”

The official added, “Under Secretary Noem, ICE and CBP are working overtime to deliver on the American people’s mandate to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens and make America safe again.”

Per the New York Times, the operation’s logistics hinge on approval from the Pentagon for the use of Naval Station Great Lakes. The request, still under review by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, outlines a 30-day operation in the Chicago metropolitan area.

If approved, the base would support up to 250 DHS personnel, providing facilities for a “Tactical Operations Center” and an “Incident Command Post,” along with essentials like bathrooms, laundry, parking for cars, and medical supply and non-lethal weapon storage, per the New York Times.

According to the New York Times, the naval base, primarily a training ground for new recruits, would serve as a critical staging point for the operation, set to begin on September 2 with the arrival of advance DHS teams.

CNN forced to air confession about Donald Trump

CNN will never like President Donald Trump. The bad blood runs too deep.

But CNN was forced to air a confession about Donald Trump they wish they didn’t have to tell.

President Donald Trump’s second term has ignited a wave of economic victories, with plummeting gas prices and a bold push for American energy dominance leading the charge. Under his leadership, the nation is witnessing a remarkable turnaround from the crushing energy costs that plagued families during the Biden administration. Trump’s unwavering commitment to unleashing America’s vast energy resources has delivered tangible relief at the pump, putting more money back into the pockets of hardworking Americans.

CNN reporters Erica Hill and Matt Egan couldn’t ignore the good news on Friday, highlighting the dramatic drop in Labor Day gas prices under Trump’s watch. “If you’re planning a road trip this holiday weekend, gas prices at their lowest level for a Labor Day weekend in years,” Hill said. “In some states, they are below $3 a gallon. Matt Egan is here with the good news. We have to say goodbye to summer, but we’re going to do it and save some cash.” This marks a stark contrast to June 2022, when Biden’s policies drove gas prices to a staggering national average nearing $5 per gallon.

Egan elaborated on the scale of this win, noting, “Look, you are in luck if you’re hitting the roads this holiday weekend. GasBuddy is projecting the national average this Labor Day: $3.15 a gallon. That’s the lowest since 2020.” He pointed out that 15 states, including Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, and North Carolina, are enjoying gas prices below $3 per gallon. This relief is critical for Americans grappling with high costs in other essentials like groceries and electricity, proving Trump’s policies are making a real difference.

The driving force behind these lower prices is a significant decline in oil prices, which have fallen from $80 to $65 per barrel since Trump took office. Egan acknowledged, “This is a big change. Now, the White House has been quick to take a victory lap here, crediting the president with unleashing American energy dominance. Now, it’s true that U.S. oil production is basically at all-time highs.” While production has dipped slightly since January 2025, the overall impact of Trump’s energy agenda is undeniable.

Trump’s influence extends beyond America’s borders, as he has successfully pressured OPEC to ramp up production. Egan noted, “OPEC refused to pump more during the Biden years. They are pumping aggressively now, and that is something that the president has pushed them to do. That’s the big difference right now.” This strategic move has flooded the market with supply, driving down prices and easing the burden on American consumers.

Analysts are optimistic about continued relief, with GasBuddy predicting national gas prices could drop below $3 per gallon this fall. Egan emphasized, “But look, no matter the reason, analysts do expect that this is a trend that could be here for a bit. GasBuddy is telling me that they think gas prices are likely to drop below $3 a gallon nationally this fall. And of course, that would be very good news as well.”

Earlier this year, Americans enjoyed the cheapest Memorial Day weekend gas prices since 2021, setting the stage for a summer where prices hit a four-year low, according to GasBuddy and the American Automobile Association. These milestones highlight the consistent success of Trump’s energy policies in delivering affordability and stability to families planning summer road trips or daily commutes.

CNN business reporter Vanessa Yurkevich further noted the economic gains on August 12, citing the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). “When you look at the key categories that we always look at — energy, food and shelter — energy fell by 1.1%,” she said. “That was largely driven because of gas prices falling in the month of July by 2.2%.” This drop in energy costs is a direct result of Trump’s relentless focus on cutting red tape and boosting production.

Beyond gas prices, Trump’s economic wins include a robust push for energy independence. His administration’s executive orders, like the establishment of the National Energy Dominance Council on February 14, 2025, have streamlined permitting processes and revoked restrictive regulations from the Biden era. These actions have empowered American producers to tap into the nation’s vast oil and gas reserves, reinforcing the U.S. as the world’s leading oil producer.

Trump’s policies have also revitalized the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector. On his first day in office, he ordered the resumption of LNG export approvals, reversing Biden’s pause. This has led to significant investments, with companies like Australia’s Woodside Energy approving a $17.5 billion LNG project, citing Trump’s vision for American energy dominance. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects LNG exports will reach 15.2 billion cubic feet per day in 2025, up from 11.9 billion in 2024.

The economic ripple effects are substantial. Lower energy costs have eased inflationary pressures, allowing families to spend more on essentials and discretionary purchases. Trump’s tariffs on foreign goods, while controversial, have encouraged domestic production, creating jobs in energy-rich states like Texas and New Mexico. The Permian Basin, a powerhouse of shale oil and gas, continues to drive economic growth under Trump’s pro-energy agenda.

Some analysts warn that OPEC’s increased production, spurred by Trump’s pressure, has created a market glut, causing oil prices to dip below the profitability threshold for some U.S. producers. This has led to reduced drilling activity, with companies like EOG Resources cutting investment plans by $200 million in 2025. Yet, Trump’s team remains confident that long-term strategies, including potential tax credits for oil and gas production, will sustain growth.

Trump’s foreign policy has also bolstered energy security. His administration’s sanctions on Iranian oil sales have tightened global supply, supporting prices while curbing funds to hostile regimes. This aligns with Trump’s goal of reducing reliance on foreign energy, particularly from nations like Iran and Venezuela, which saw lax enforcement under Biden.

Former Democrat VP candidate put American lives in danger with this dereliction of duty

The Democrats are always making the wrong decisions. But this time it came at the ultimate cost.

And a former Democrat VP candidate put American lives in danger with this dereliction of duty.

Minnesota’s Catholic Schools Left Out of Safety Funding Despite State Surplus

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a Democrat, has come under fire for denying security funding requests from Catholic schools, even as the state sat on a $17.6 billion budget surplus in 2023, according to the National Catholic Register. Per the outlet, the Minnesota Catholic Conference, which represents the state’s six dioceses, twice asked Walz for modest grants to bolster safety measures against school shootings. Public schools, however, reportedly received similar funding, highlighting a disparity that has sparked debate.

A Call for Equal Protection

In a 2023 letter to Walz, the Conference, advocating for about 72,000 students in Catholic, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and independent nonpublic schools, made their case: “There are approximately 72,000 students enrolled in Independent, Catholic, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim nonpublic schools in our state.”

Citing the tragic March 2023 shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, perpetrated by a 28-year-old transgender, the letter added, “The latest school shooting at a nonpublic Christian school in Tennessee sadly confirms what we already know — our schools are under attack.”

Denial Creates Controversy

Despite the urgent request, Walz denied the funds. The Conference had sought inclusion in the governor’s proposed $50 million Building and Cyber Security Grant Program, arguing that leaving out nonpublic schools was unfair.

“The exclusion of one sector of schools — as you know, nonpublic schools serve many students and families in need of services and resources — is a discriminatory act against our students,” the letter stated.

The group also noted their ongoing efforts since 2020 to access the Safe Schools Program, which supports emergency training, security enhancements, and mental health resources but currently excludes nonpublic schools, charter schools, and intermediate districts, relying instead on levies for public schools.

A Missed Opportunity for Bipartisan Action

This issue dates back to at least 2022, when Minnesota’s bishops pressed Walz to call a special legislative session to extend Safe Schools funding to nonpublic schools, proposing $44 per student for security, regardless of school type, according to the National Catholic Register.

The proposal had bipartisan support, with members of the Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party, Minnesota’s Democratic affiliate, backing the House version of the bill. Still, Walz did not act, and the measure stalled.

Competing Priorities and Local Tragedy

The decision stands out against Minnesota’s hefty 2023 surplus. While the state prioritized other initiatives, such as creating a “trans refuge” to “protect those seeking gender-affirming care,” as reported by OutFront Minnesota, the lack of security funding for nonpublic schools has raised eyebrows.

This is especially true after a recent shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where a transgender suspect k*lled two and wounded 14.

As Minnesota grapples with how to distribute its resources, the exclusion of nonpublic schools from safety funding continues to prove just how incompetent of a leader Tim Walz really is.
