Texas Democrat says President Trump’s State of the Union changed her vote

By Joni Werner | Commentary, USA TODAY I believe Trump has only the best interests of the U.S. at the core of all his decisions. I do believe the changes he has made are working. Democrats should offer him more support. I watched President Donald Trump's entire 2026 State of the Union speech. And I loved it! Watching it made me more likely to vote in the midterm elections. This was the first time I wasn't bored and actually agreed with everything he had to say. I appreciate his businessman's approach to the economy and tariffs. I loved that he celebrated the people directly affected by his policy changes and celebrated the economy wins by putting America first. I am disappointed in all the elected leaders who refused to celebrate th...

Vermont Drops Requirement To Affirm Gender Identity For Foster License Approval

By Greg Piper | Just the News Vermont settles two lawsuits before appeals court can strike down policy conditioning foster placements, renewals on affirming gender ideology. "We must ban" removals and transitions against parents' will "immediately," Trump says. Solidly Democratic states are coming to the realization that excluding foster-care applicants based on their refusal to treat children as the opposite sex may not be a wise choice.   Vermont gave up its policy of scrutinizing would-be and current foster parents' religious beliefs for inconsistency with gender ideology to settle two First Amendment lawsuits before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could rule, issuing sweeping new guidance last week that protects applicants from violating their conscien...

Declassified Cold War CIA Files Detail Secret Government Mind Control Experiments

By Stacy Liberatore | Daily Mail A newly released CIA document reveals a chilling blueprint to manipulate minds through covert drugging experiments. The report, added to the CIA's reading room in 2025, details the government's once top-secret Project Artichoke that ran from 1951 to 1956, focusing on behavior control, interrogation techniques and psychological manipulation. The seven-page document, titled 'Special Research for Artichoke,' with an attachment labeled 'Suggested Fields for Special Research Relative Artichoke,' outlines proposals to develop chemicals capable of altering human behavior. It discusses drugs designed for both immediate effects, like truth serums and long-term influence, potentially administered through food, water, alcohol...

The Right champions citizens first. The Left fumes at the idea.

By Elle Purnell | Commentary, The Federalist At Tuesday’s State of the Union, Democrats set themselves up as angry foils to basic civics and feel-good American patriotism. In the most made-for-TV of many made-for-TV moments in Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, President Donald Trump urged every member of Congress to “stand up and show your support” for the statement: “The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.” Cameras panned to show nearly the entire left-hand side of the chamber awkwardly remaining in their seats. After two minutes of Republican cheering and Democrat scowling, Trump suggested that Democrats should “be ashamed of yourselves,” and the cameras showed Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Mogadishu, shouting an...

Trump Champions Middle Class Growth And Government Accountability In Marathon Address

By Jacob Burg, Andrew Moran, Troy Myers, Ryan Morgan, John Haughey, Jackson Richman | The Epoch Times The president unveiled new policies including a retirement program proposal, lower energy costs tied to data centers, and a task force to combat fraud. President Donald Trump highlighted his economic agenda in a record-long State of the Union address, declaring the United States is “bigger, richer, and stronger than ever before.” In his 1-hour 47-minute-long speech, the president introduced multiple guests to spotlight the impacts of his policies, from no-tax-on-tips to Trump Accounts. The president awarded the Medal of Honor to a Korean War hero and to a helicopter pilot wounded in the mission to capture Venezuelan Leader Nicolás Maduro, and announced that he w...

Senate Fails to Advance DHS Funding Amid Partisan Divide Over Immigration Enforcement

By Kaia Hubbard | CBS News Washington — The Senate failed to advance a measure to fund the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday, 11 days into a partial government shutdown with no apparent end in sight.  In a 50 to 45 vote, the measure fell short of the 60-vote threshold needed to move forward. The vote marked a second attempt to advance the measure and came after lawmakers returned to Washington following a weeklong recess without a deal to reform federal immigration agencies.  Congress' failure to reach an agreement on how to fund DHS prompted a funding lapse for the department, which also oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard. The major sticking point has been o...

They Would Not Stand for Americans

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice During the State of the Union, Donald Trump issued a clear and direct statement. “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants.” Every Republican in the chamber stood. Not one Democrat did. https://twitter.com/TheRMVoice/status/2026479858017276192 That moment was not theater. It was a stress test. And it revealed something deeply troubling about the state of the Democratic Party at the highest levels of government. Protection of citizens is not a partisan concept. It is the foundational obligation of any legitimate government. The Constitution exists to secure the bless...

When medals matter more than flags: Inside the rise of Olympic nationality swaps

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker The Winter Olympics have wrapped up, reportedly drawing their highest ratings since Sochi in 2014. I didn't watch. Between niche “sports” invented to fill broadcast hours and athletes apologizing for the country they represent, the Games increasingly feel less like national competition and more like a global spectacle. But the larger issue isn’t ski mountaineering or media melodrama. It’s nationality itself. Twelve years ago, during the Sochi Olympics, I wrote about what I called “nationality fluidity” - athletes competing for countries far removed from where they were born or trained. American-born siblings skating for Japan. An Italian competing for Germany. A Vermont native skatin...

As in the Days of Noah: Moral Decline, Divine Patience, and the Certainty of Judgment

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Civilizations do not collapse at random. They follow patterns. Scripture presents that pattern with clarity. Moral order produces stability. Moral rebellion produces decay. The sequence is consistent across centuries and continents. Romans 1 describes the progression in forensic detail. People suppress truth. They exchange what is righteous for what is corrupt. God then gives them over. That phrase signals something profound. Judgment often begins with permission. Restraint is lifted. Disorder becomes self-inflicted. What was once shameful becomes celebrated. What was once honored becomes despised. The Old Testament confirms the pattern at a national scale. Israel did not fall in a single dramatic mo...
