York: Medicaid, The Big Beautiful Bill—and Obama’s revenge

By Byron York | Commentary, Washington Examiner MEDICAID, THE BBB, AND OBAMA’S REVENGE. It’s reasonable to view the angry debate over the Medicaid provisions of the recently signed-into-law One Big Beautiful Bill Act, with Democrats accusing President Donald Trump and Republicans of taking away healthcare from millions of people, as the inevitable result of the scheme that then-President Barack Obama and Democrats set in motion in 2010. Back then, many in the party wanted to create a single-payer national healthcare system but did not have the political support to do so. So Democratic leaders debated among themselves about how to get as far as they could with their existing (big) majorities in the House and Senate. After much effort, they came up with the Affordable Care Act, better...

Joondeph: The rise of Democrat theater kids isn’t politics—it’s performance art

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Theater kids, especially those in politics, are described as those who are overly dramatic, prone to theatrical gestures, insincere, and unnecessarily showy. Google’s AI highlights several characteristics of theater kids: Performance – Politicians’ public personae are like acts on a stage, focusing on presentation and emotion rather than substance or real engagement with their constituents. Cringe factor – In trying to seem relatable, “one of the gang," they come off as inauthentic, forced, awkward, and embarrassing.  Lack of authenticity – The term “theater kid” is a pejorative, suggesting that the politician is insincere and only performing to advance their political agenda or goals. Negative connotation...

Deep State DC Bureaucrats Go Global in effort to Sabotage Trump from Overseas

By Reagan Reese | The Daily Caller Fired officials of the shuttered U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department are teaming up in an effort to combat Trump as they worry about the “future of democracy” under his leadership, according to NOTUS. The State Department moved to cut USAID, with the agency officially closing its doors July 1. Now former USAID and State officials are finding ways to undermine Trump, ganging up together to hold workshops on the topic of “noncooperation” to help build a community willing to engage in minor rebellious acts and perhaps eventually a national strike, former officials told NOTUS. “Take it from those of us who worked in authoritarian countries: We’ve become one,” a current federal official told NOTUS. “They were so ...

Ganahl: Trump’s new MABA commission puts conservation back in the hands of the people

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice While most folks were watching fireworks, President Trump was signing something far more lasting—an Executive Order that could reshape how we care for the land we love. It’s the kind of bold step we need to bring common sense back to how we manage the wild, wide-open spaces that make this country worth fighting for. The creation of the Make America Beautiful Again (MABA) Commission is about more than pretty trails and national parks. It’s about restoring common sense and local control in how we care for the land we love. As a board member of the American Conservation Coalition (ACC), I’ve long pushed for this kind of approach—where conservation doesn’t mean locking up our lands, but opening them to responsible use, careful steward...

DOJ memo claims Epstein had no client list, died by suicide

By Ashley Brasfield | Daily Caller The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) found no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein maintained a “client list” or was a victim of foul play in his death, according to a Sunday night Axios report. A memo published by Axios states that a review found no proof Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a “client list,” or was murdered. https://twitter.com/axios/status/1942023706328420837 “This systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list.’ There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions,” the memo says. “We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncha...

As Texas reels from deadly floods, Colorado rescue teams ready to deploy

By Jacob Factor | Fox31 DENVER (KDVR) — A federal search and rescue task force made up of firefighters from Colorado agencies is preparing for potential deployment to Texas to assist in response efforts following catastrophic Fourth of July holiday weekend flooding that has claimed nearly 90 lives. Colorado Task Force 1 is supported by 23 different fire agencies across Colorado, including Denver and Colorado Springs fire departments and North, West and South Metro fire rescues, said in a Facebook post Monday morning its members had been advised of potential deployment to Texas. Team members, if activated, would work in water rescue and recovery. The devastating floods started early Fourth of July morning, and rescue efforts have been ongoing across several parts ...

Ali: How Marxist ideology hijacked student debt and the American Dream

By Ayaan Hirsi Ali | Commentary, COURAGE.MEDIA David Friedberg’s recent All-In podcast argument sounds convincing: student debt creates desperate graduates, financial stress drives political radicalism, and young Americans embrace socialism because capitalism failed them economically. The analysis captures real and understandable pain but overlooks the underlying mechanisms. Zohran Mamdani reportedly owes at least $200,000 from his college years. He studied African Studies and graduated without a job, but now he’s winning elections as a socialist candidate in New York City. Friedberg connects the financial dots, but the ideological picture remains invisible. In 1990s Uganda, a young boy and his family fled tyranny. They came to the United States seeking a new beginning. What ...

They never saw it coming: Kerrville flood sparks call for weather readiness

By RMV Staff At least 82 people lost their lives in Kerrville when floodwaters tore through the area in the middle of the night. Families had no warning. Rain poured harder and faster than forecasted. In Kerrville, the flood was already doing damage before most people knew it was coming. Surging rapidly in the darkness, the Guadalupe River caught sleeping Texans off guard. A Western Colorado weather aficionado contacted RMV following the tragedy to urge more people to take advantage of advanced mobile tools. “As a weather enthusiast with 55 years of experience, I’ve seen major advances in the past decade, including apps that let you track storm signatures and receive early warning alerts,” he said. “Radar Omega puts that in the palm of your hands.” He described receiving an Eme...

Trump ‘Very Unhappy’ With Putin, Signals Ukraine Policy Pivot

By Nicholas Ballasy | Just the News Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday described his most recent conversation with President Donald Trump as the "most productive" to date. "Regarding the conversation with the president of the United States, which took place a day earlier, it was probably the best conversation we have had during this whole time, the most productive," Zelenskiy said in a video address, according to Reuters. Trump said he was "very unhappy" after his recent conversation with Russian President Putin. Trump also said Putin does not want to work toward a ceasefire deal. He added that Ukraine is "being hit pretty hard" and will likely need Patriot missiles for defense. Russia shot down four Ukrainian drones on Saturday, according to the city's ma...

Feds Sweep Up Murderers, Rapists, and Illegals in Massive Raid

By Joe Marino | The New York Post They brought the hammer down on the worst of the worst. Federal authorities have swept up 264 wanted criminals — including two illegal migrants wanted for sex crimes — in New Jersey in an ongoing mission dubbed “Operation Apex Hammer” that nabbed suspects wanted for murder, robbery and sexual offenses, including those against children. Those arrested include 17 homicide suspects, 95 gang members, including several others wanted for serious violent and sexual offenses, federal officials said. U.S. Marshal Juan Mattos Jr. and Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba called the collaboration among federal, state, and local law enforcement “a major success in combating violent crime and restoring public safety.” “We are doing multiple cases at once to m...
