Trump Team Launches Major Investigation Into Foreign Labor Visa Fraud

By: Hannah Bates | The Federalist The Trump administration started a major investigation into H-1B and PERM foreign labor visas, the Labor Department’s Inspector General Anthony P. D’Esposito announced Wednesday. The investigation aims to take the “most aggressive action against foreign labor fraud by an Inspector General this administration” to further President Trump’s goal to end foreign violence on American soil and return jobs to the American people, D’Esposito told Fox Business. D’Esposito, who is leading the investigation, stated that the department has already begun “issu[ing] dozens of subpoenas.” He also noted that there are “whistleblowers talking about some of the biggest companies” who have abused H1-B and PERM (Permanent Labor Certification) vis...

Maine Democrat Graham Platner Ends Senate Bid After Mounting Controversies

By Nolan D. McCaskill, Richard Cowan and Daniel Trotta | The Daily Signal Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine on Wednesday promised to formally withdraw from the race, after a string of controversies including an accusation of sexual assault plunged one of the most competitive races in the 2026 midterm elections into turmoil. The suspension by the former U.S. Marine, announced in a video posted on social media, is likely to complicate Democrats’ efforts to win control of the Senate in the Nov. 3 elections. Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority. In the recorded video, Platner repeated his denial of the sexual assault accusation and said the effort to remove him from the ballot was fueled by his effectivene...

Should America reserve its highest offices for natural-born citizens?

By Christine Coleman | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “You shall surely set a king over you whom the LORD your God chooses, one from among your countrymen you shall set as king over yourselves; you may not put a foreigner over yourselves who is not your countryman.” — Deuteronomy 17:15 When God brought the children of Israel into the Promised Land, He established clear laws and commandments for their governance. Among them was the explicit requirement that rulers must be chosen from among their own people — no foreigner born outside the nation was permitted to rule over God’s covenant people. This principle was repeatedly tested and its violation brought severe consequences. In 1 Kings 11, King Solomon’s heart was turned away from the Lord through his many foreign wive...

Protest Leaders Call for Reshaping America’s Founding Institutions at Washington Rally

By: Libby Bandelin | The Federalist ‘We want to tear the American system down,’ one protestor told The Federalist. A week before the 250th anniversary of America declaring independence, more than 1,000 people assembled at the nation’s capital to make a declaration of their own: their vision to dismantle America’s founding institutions. “All of US Next250 National Mobilization” protested the Trump administration, debuted new “founding documents,” and re-envisioned America as seen by Marxist revolutionaries. “It’s not just a day, it’s a movement, and it’s been three years in the making,” Saru Jayarman, a co-organizer of Next250, told The Federalist. “This is the time to set the tone for what the next 250 years will be.” Dozens of activist organizations assembled...

U.S. Launches Major Strikes After Iran Targets Commercial Shipping

By Joshua Klein | Breitbart U.S. forces launched a series of what the military described as “powerful strikes” against Iran early Wednesday after Tehran attacked three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, with U.S. Central Command declaring the Islamic Republic’s actions amounted to “a clear violation of the ceasefire.” CENTCOM said the strikes were intended to impose “heavy costs” on Iran for targeting civilian-crewed commercial shipping in an international waterway, describing the attacks as “unwarranted” and “dangerous.” The operation came as Washington and Tehran were implementing a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending months of regional conflict and restoring safe navigation through the strategic waterway. The escalation followed a ser...

Why capitalism and the Constitution still offer America’s best path

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” - Karl Marx. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published “The Communist Manifesto” in 1848. The popular quote above appeared in Marx’s "Critique of the Gotha Programme” written 1875.  This article will examine how that idealistic worldview has – or has not – worked out in reality. Spoiler alert: it hasn’t.  In the last few election cycles, Democratic Socialists like NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, VT Sen. Bernie Sanders or MN Attorney General Keith Ellison have been elected to very powerful positions in government. Here in Colorado, Leftist Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros just won the Colorado House Democrat prim...

Economists Say Trump Accounts Could Transform Long Term Savings For Millions Of Families

By Christina Park | Just the News Backed by a $1,000 government seed deposit and billions in private philanthropy, the new tax-deferred accounts aim to give American newborns a massive financial head start. "Trump Accounts” officially launched on Monday following a July 4 opening, drawing positive feedback from economists who project the program will provide significant financial benefits for American children nationwide.  The accounts come as part of Trump’s new tax law, the One Big Beautiful Bill, and are essentially tax-deferred investments for newborn American citizens born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028. As of today, more than six million people have signed up for the accounts. The program includes an automatic seed deposit of $1...

Opening Day of Charlie Kirk Assassination Hearing Focuses on Evidence and Investigation

By: Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist Tyler Robinson’s defense attorneys objected to every exhibit presented by prosecutors, including video of Kirk being shot, but was overruled nearly every time. Preliminary hearings for the trial of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, started Monday as Utah state prosecutors presented exhibits and sought their admission into the actual trial. Utah prosecutors brought expert witnesses to the stand to testify about their involvement with the police work surrounding the assassination at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Sept. 10, 2025. They also presented multiple exhibits, including affidavits, video footage, and images. Nearly every exhibit was admitted into the trial over the objections of Robinson’s attor...

The American Dream is slipping away and socialism is filling the gap

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Not long ago, the American Dream followed a familiar script. Graduate from school, find a job, buy a modest home, start a family, and gradually build a better life than the generation before you. For many young Americans today, that script increasingly feels like historical fiction. A recent survey from Rasmussen Reports reveals a striking generational divide: younger Americans are far more likely than older voters to view socialism favorably. According to the survey, 44 percent of voters under 40 believe socialism is a better system, compared with only 12 percent of older Americans. Recent election results in New York City confirm Rasmussen’s findings.  For Americans who grew up during the Cold War — or ...
