Joe Biden diagnosed with ‘aggressive’ prostate cancer

By Jason Cohen | Daily Caller Former President Joe Biden received a diagnosis of prostate cancer on Friday, according to a Sunday announcement by his personal office. The statement characterizes the cancer Biden has as “a more aggressive form of the disease” that has metastasized to the bone, but the statement adds that it can be effectively managed. The diagnosis follows renewed scrutiny on Biden’s physical and mental decline, along with its cover-up, ahead of the release of a book on the subject titled “Original Sin” by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson. “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason sc...

SCOTUS zig-zags on national injunctions Vs. Democracy, birthright citizenship

By Neil Munro | Breitbart The nine judges on the Supreme Court showed little consensus as they grilled government lawyers about the costs and benefits of lower judges imposing nationwide restraining orders on President Donald Trump’s reformist polices, including his update of birth citizenship policies. Trump’s lawyers argued that the many national restraining orders abort the evolution of courtroom and public debates on the issues, and they also block administration planning for how their electoral mandates should be implemented. The injunctions — which are often imposed by singular partisan judges — should be narrowed to cover just the plaintiffs in each case so that major issues can democratically “percolate” through the multiple courts, the public, and the agencies, said John ...

Border Patrol sees 44% spike in applications after Trump elected

By Thomas Stevenson | The Post Millennial Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) recruits have skyrocketed after the election of President Donald Trump, after there were years of bad morale under former President Joe Biden and the border crisis, according to a report from the Daily Caller, citing an internal memo from the Department of Homeland Security. According to the outlet, under DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, there has been a 44 percent spike in CBP applications from January through May as compared to that same time frame in 2024 under the Biden White House and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. While Biden was in office, CBP struggled to keep the border secure and there was even a surge in suicides of CBP agents as morale dropped in the agency. Over 8.5 million bor...

Trump fires one-third of Voice of America staff

By Annabella Rosciglione | Washington Examiner The Trump administration fired around 600 employees at Voice of America, approximately one-third of its staff. The layoffs targeted contracted journalists and some administrative employees. Voice of America is a news network funded by the federal government that provides reporting to countries that have limited press freedom.  Voice of America indicated that the Trump administration continued its push to dismantle the broadcaster, despite a court order requiring the government to keep it. Voice of America Director Michael Abramowitz, a plaintiff suing the government over its cuts, said in an email to his staff that he was “heartbroken” over the firings. The now-fired journalists will have to leave the ...

‘One, big, beautiful bill’ would extend Trump tax cuts, unleash energy development

By Sean Moran | Breitbart President Donald Trump hopes to sign into law “one, big, beautiful bill” that would extend the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, unleash energy development, and slash spending. Trump on Friday called on Republicans to unite behind the “ONE, BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL.” He wrote on Truth Social: Republicans MUST UNITE behind, “THE ONE, BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL!” Not only does it cut Taxes for ALL Americans, but it will kick millions of Illegal Aliens off of Medicaid to PROTECT it for those who are the ones in real need. The Country will suffer greatly without this Legislation, with their Taxes going up 65%. It will be blamed on the Democrats, but that doesn’t help our Voters. We don’t need “GRANDSTANDERS” in the Republican Party. STOP TALKING, AND GET IT DONE! It is time ...

Hyten: To beat China, keep Space Command fully operational

By John Hyten | The Gazette, Commentary At the Space Symposium in Colorado last month, one topic stood out: the possibility of moving Space Command out of Colorado Springs. As the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when the decision to move the command to Huntsville, Ala., was made in 2021, I’m concerned that relocating Space Command would threaten our national security. At the end of his first term, President Donald Trump decided to move Space Command to Huntsville. The decision was lawfully made, based on the results of an Air Force basing study and only constrained by lack of funding (i.e., billions never appropriated by Congress). My best military advice at the time (granted, a minority opinion) was to leave the command in Colorado due to the significant space threats ema...

Justice Thomas exposes the absurdity of nationwide injunctions with one simple question

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist On Thursday, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas injected a healthy dose of reality into Supreme Court oral arguments over the issue of nationwide injunctions on President Trump’s birthright citizenship order. The moment came during an exchange between Thomas and U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer on the history of nationwide injunctions. Such orders seek to prohibit the federal government from implementing a certain law or policy against all applicable persons, regardless of whether those individuals are parties to the case before the court. In Thursday’s hearing, Thomas asked Sauer — who represented the Trump administration — about the history of nationwide injunctions and when courts first started issuing such orders. The solicitor general answe...

Trump wraps momentous Middle East trip with economic deals, Syria sanctions relief and warning to Iran

By Caitlin McFall  | Fox News President Donald Trump on Friday wrapped up a momentous week in the Middle East and is headed home having finished the final leg of his three-nation trip to the UAE. While the trip, which first included stops in Saudi Arabia and then Qatar, was expected to be largely economically focused with massive investment deals secured with Riyadh, Doha and Abu Dhabi, the president also made geopolitical shockwaves by lifting decades-long sanctions on Syria, issuing another warning to Iran, and downplaying hard fought peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, which Moscow confirmed at the last moment would not be attended by Russian President Valdimir Putin.

EX-FBI chief Comey’s ‘86 47’ social media post condemned by White House as attempt to put ‘hit’ on president

By Alec Schemmel , David Spunt  | Fox News The Secret Service is investigating after ex-FBI Director James Comey posted an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to make the numbers "86 47" — a message that White House officials swiftly condemned as an attempt to put out a "hit" against the 47th president. Comey later deleted the post after online backlash from government officials, lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s son. Trump has faced two assassination attempts — one of which resulted in him being shot and a bystander being killed — in the past year. The post including the alleged "hit" showed the numbers in question etched into the sand at a beach using seashells. "Cool shell formation on my beach walk…" Comey captioned the Thursday post. While to some people the ...
